For the next few days, Fang Yuan and his group kept going back and forth between the mountain and the town, moving things back and forth between their home and the new house.
We've had quite a harvest on the mountain; we've caught rabbits and pheasants.
Fang Yuan also went to town separately to buy a machete and a hoe, and dug up a lot of medicinal herbs to grow in his space.
Five days later, their house was completely repaired, and Fang Yuan and the others went to take a look.
The house was just as I remembered it, with a courtyard surrounded by stones as tall as a person, and inside were three mud-walled houses. There was a river not far from the house.
The house looks quite nice after the renovation.
There was a small house in front of the main house for raising livestock, and the toilet was right next to the back door of the main house.
The rooms on both sides are not small, and there are two large wardrobes in the middle of the rooms. The new kang beds on both sides look very comfortable.
Just as she had imagined, the main room had two stoves, and next to the stoves were two wooden cabinets for storing bowls and dishes.
There are two stoves on the left and right sides of the main room. The stove on the left side has a large pot burner, while the stove on the right side has two burners, one large and one small.
In the middle of the main room, there is a brand-new eight-immortal table and four long benches.
"We're still missing a large and a small pot, as well as a water vat and a rice vat!" Fang Yuan said after looking around.
We threw away everything that could be thrown away; it's better to use new things instead.
"Let's go to town to buy it again tomorrow," Zhou He nodded.
These are definitely things I'll buy, and they won't cost much.
After heating the kang (heated brick bed) for two more days to ensure it was working properly, Fang Yuan and his family prepared to move in.
When we were testing the kang (heated brick bed), we moved almost all our belongings over there.
All that was left was a change of clothes and a thin blanket before the move was complete.
Early that morning, Fang and Yuan got up, rolled up their blankets and clothes, and prepared to leave.
He Hongying looked at her and Zhou Jiahui with envy:
"You kids really come from good families; you've managed to find a place to stay even in the countryside."
“After we leave, Hongying, you’ll be living alone too, right? And you can come visit us in the future, we’ll definitely welcome you!” Zhou Jiahui said with a smile.
After spending these few days together, she felt that He Hongying was a good person and she was willing to be friends with her.
He Hongying shook her head and smiled:
"I'm alone here, but there are three more on the other side. If you leave, another person will definitely come over."
I just don't know which one will come, but Xie Hongmei, who came first, definitely won't be moving.
The remaining two annoyed her, and just thinking about them gave her a headache.
She really didn't want the two of them to move out.
"No one can predict what will happen in the future. Someone might leave at any time," Fang Yuan replied casually.
In Wang Qingqing's memory, Wang Zhaodi will marry into the village next year.
Liu Chunfang was even faster; she was tricked into marriage as soon as winter began, before she died.
Thinking about it this way, it really was Liu Chunfang who set a bad precedent, which cost her her life.
"I hope so!" He Hongying replied.
Even so, none of the remaining people seemed capable of moving out, and He Hongying had no hope.
Who knew that not long after, someone would actually leave, and in a way she never expected.
Zhou Jiahui and Fang Yuan moved, and Liu Chunfang and Wang Zhaodi watched them from across the street.
The two had just stepped out the door when they heard her whispering to Wang Zhaodi:
"They're finally gone. They've eaten so much good food these past few days without letting anyone have a single bite. How selfish of them."
"Hmph, what good can two women who only want to rely on men be?" Wang Zhaodi replied disdainfully.
“Exactly, saying he’s a good cook but using so much oil in his dishes, whose cooking skills are bad? Taking advantage of others and then expecting praise, how impressive is that?” Liu Chunfang chimed in.
Ever since Fang Yuan stood in her way last time, her target of hatred has shifted from Zhou Jiahui to Fang Yuan.
However, she was not convinced that someone who came here alone could rely on their cooking skills to get ahead of those people from privileged backgrounds.
Fang Yuan, who hadn't gone far, heard every word of these words and then laughed.
She handed her blanket and clothes to Zhou Jiahui.
He turned around and took two steps at a time to enter the south room, carrying one chicken in each hand as if he were holding two chickens.
Amidst the screams and cries of the two women, they were dragged directly from the house to the yard and carelessly tossed onto the ground.
"Hey~ Fang Yuan, what are you doing?"
The two tried to get up in terror, but Fang Yuan pressed them down with his hand, and they lay back down without any power to resist.
Then, with one hand pressing down on Liu Chunfang, one foot stepping on Wang Zhaodi's chest, and the other hand slapping her twice.
After hitting her, he stepped on Liu Chunfang's shoulder and slapped her several times while holding down her hands.
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. I always try to persuade people with reason, but neither of you are worthy of it."
"What are you doing? What gives you the right...?"
As soon as Liu Chunfang started cursing, she was met with another slap.
"Waaaaah~~~"
After being slapped several times, Liu Chunfang burst into tears.
"You're so foul-mouthed, I need to teach you a lesson."
After slapping her several times, Fang Yuan finally explained why he hit her: because she had a foul mouth.
Liu Chunfang covered her swollen face, only able to shed tears, and dared not speak anymore.
Although Wang Zhaodi only received two slaps, she was terrified when Fang Yuan dragged her out, and she covered her face without daring to say a word.
"The saying 'trouble comes from the mouth' is true. You're all educated people, don't you understand this simple principle?" Fang Yuan asked the two of them.
"I won't dare to do it again. I'll never dare to talk nonsense again," Wang Zhaodi quickly shook her head and replied.
She was afraid of being beaten, and the trauma from her childhood resurfaced in her mind.
"I...I won't say anything nonsense anymore, really, please don't hit me, waaaaah~~"
This was the first time Liu Chunfang had been so humiliated and beaten without any resistance. She was terrified and couldn't stop crying.
Sure enough, she had a feeling she was right when she saw the look in this woman's eyes last time; this woman was a female demon, not to be trifled with.
“You can go and complain to the team, but I hit you because you were the one who started it. If you dare to complain, I'll beat you every time I see you. I mean it.”
After saying that, Fang Yuan clapped his hands, turned around and walked towards Zhou Jiahui, looking exceptionally dashing.
Wang Zhaodi and Liu Chunfang covered their faces as they watched Fang Yuan's retreating figure, not daring to say another word.
The other people at the educated youth settlement didn't realize until Fang Yuan finished fighting that no one had dared to step forward to stop the fight.
On the female educated youth side, Xie Hongmei and He Hongying watched Fang Yuan suppress the two men without moving an inch, clearly hoping that the two men would be beaten.
Meanwhile, some male educated youths were blocking the way, and since the other party was a woman, they couldn't very well go up and mediate.
Most importantly, they were also afraid of Fang Yuan's great strength.
The way they dragged the two women out like chickens was so shocking that it seemed like no one would have a problem if no one went up to them.
"Sister Yuanyuan, I didn't know you were so strong!" Zhou Jiahui looked at Fang Yuan with shining eyes.
He used to hide it, but now that he's showing it off, he looks so cool!
"They're only a little bigger than average. If these two hadn't been so foul-mouthed, I wouldn't have bothered with them."
Can she say that she did it on purpose today?
After saying that, Fang Yuan turned his head and stared at the two people on the ground, letting out a cold snort. The two people were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Fang Yuan at all.
