Hehe, if I weren't trying to hide my strength, I could defeat you with just these five moves, do you believe me?
Thinking this to herself, Liu Shi'an smiled sincerely and nodded, saying, "Okay, thank you, Third Brother."
The smile on his face looked particularly innocent and harmless.
But what he was really thinking, only he himself probably knew.
When the two brothers started fighting, although they held back, they still used their real skills.
Originally, Liu Shiping thought he could defeat his underling in just a few moves.
After all, he was a veteran of countless battles, while his younger brother was still young. Defeating him would be a piece of cake.
Most importantly, defeating him in front of my second sister might actually earn her some respect.
His second sister rarely comes back, so he has to make a good impression on her, right?
Now, Liu Shiping naturally understands that his second sister is no ordinary girl.
Do you think any ordinary girl can be like his second sister, not only going to high school but also studying in a faraway place?
Look at the Li family next door, several girls who are about the same age as my second sister. They got married at a young age, and I heard that they are treated like slaves in their husbands' families, not only are they not well-fed or clothed, but they are also exploited by their own families.
The thought of exploitation reminded him of what his own mother had done.
He then became distracted.
Completely unprepared for his momentary lapse in concentration, Liu Shi'an slapped him across the face...
"Third Brother, are you alright? Were you just spacing out or were you letting me win?"
Liu Shi'an was utterly speechless that the person was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up.
Can't we just give it a proper performance?
They were going to perform a little longer, but now... well, let's just say it's not great.
So what could he do? He could only try to find a way to save face.
He genuinely wanted to make a good impression on his second sister and get her to give him some guidance.
My second sister comes back less and less these days, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to get her guidance.
Liu Shile's lips twitched slightly. Shi'an, that little devil, really is something else.
Liu Shiping regained his senses after being hit, only to find that his ribs were throbbing with pain.
That brat really went all out; he showed no mercy.
Little did he know that his younger brother had shown mercy, and by quite a bit.
"I'm fine. Xiao An is really amazing. He's even caught up with me, his third brother."
He was unaware that his skills were rather weak, and he said this without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
Liu Shi'an didn't want to talk to this fool anymore. She used to think he was quite shrewd, but now...?
They shook their heads inwardly, forced a few words of brotherly respect, and then looked longingly at their second sister.
Liu Shile was speechless. Both of them were natural actors, and they were excellent at acting!
However, if there's no malicious intent, then let's just go ahead and act it out.
After pointing out the shortcomings in their techniques and personally demonstrating some moves to them, Liu Shile stopped saying anything.
So, I took the two little ones to my older sister's house and delivered the gifts there.
Without lingering, Liu Shile went straight to the dairy farm to see her older sister, and then left gracefully.
She came and went in such a hurry that if Liu Shi'an hadn't gone back to her hometown and brought back those lotus flowers, everyone would have thought they were dreaming.
When Liu Shile returned to the county, it was already late afternoon.
Grandma Wang had already packed what she wanted to take and was just waiting for Liu Shile to come back.
Actually, she didn't bring much with her, just a small package with not much stuff inside.
However, she brought along all the medicinal herbs that Liu Shile had given her before, thinking she might need them.
Liu Shile didn't say anything; if it was something given to someone else, then it had nothing to do with her.
So it's up to Grandma Wang how and where she wants to use it.
"Lele, is it really okay for us to go like this?"
Grandma Wang was probably feeling a bit apprehensive about returning home, so she started worrying even before she set off.
"Grandma Wang, don't worry, nothing's wrong. Look at this?"
As Liu Shile spoke, she showed Grandma Wang the letter written by Zhang Weiguo.
After reading the letter, Grandma Wang sighed, "Luckily, Lele, your medical skills are excellent, otherwise..."
Otherwise, in what capacity should she look at him?
So many years have passed, and no one knows if he has anyone by his side.
This is actually the real reason why Grandma Wang was timid.
However, seeing the handwritten letter, which should be from her own grandson, gave the old lady a little more confidence.
Lele is a good child. With Lele around, she feels confident!
Feeling more confident, Grandma Wang felt a little uncomfortable once she got in the car.
Thankfully, Liu Shile had prepared a small sachet for her; otherwise, she probably would have gotten so carsick that she would have vomited uncontrollably.
They didn't go to the city, but instead took a boat from a neighboring county to Yicheng.
Liu Shile also had some selfish motives for taking this path.
She hadn't visited her adoptive master in a very, very long time.
This time, since we were taking Grandma Wang on a rare long trip, we naturally decided to check on her master's situation since we were on the way.
Unfortunately, she hasn't settled down yet, so she can't bring her master to live with her. All she can do is visit him.
"Grandma Wang, we're almost at my master's house."
Liu Shile was very happy and led Grandma Wang to her master's house.
After the last flood, her master went back to his original place and refused to move away no matter what.
So perhaps her master, like Grandma Wang, has his own story.
Otherwise, why would they refuse to move from their flooded home even if it meant death?
Grandma Wang smiled gently. She had been listening to Lele talk about her master, but she had never had the chance to meet him.
However, when they arrived at the Hua family's house, they found the gate wide open.
Moreover, some faint sounds could be heard coming from inside.
“Master, this time we’ve come to invite you, you can’t refuse us like you did before.”
The speaker was a man who looked to be in his mid-thirties. He was quite handsome, but his expression was rather sinister and vicious.
"Get out of here! I don't have a disciple like you! Get out!"
Hua Zhenghe was a very good-tempered person, but when he saw this person, his eyes burned with raging anger.
If it weren't for this 'good' apprentice's betrayal, how could his wife and children have ended up like that?
"Master, that's not right of you. I came all this way to invite you, and you're just being disrespectful?"
A hint of gloom flashed in Luo Dongming's eyes. If this old man was going to refuse a toast but wanted to suffer the consequences, he was willing to oblige.
"Indeed, Master Luo came all this way to invite you, Elder Hua. Elder Hua, you mustn't take your good fortune for granted."
That is to say, our Master Luo is a grateful person, which is why he thought of coming over to take you away and care for you in your old age.
"Who else would care about a master who has wronged them? Don't you think that makes sense, Elder Hua?"
There were quite a few of them, and they strongly disapproved of Elder Hua's treatment of their Master Luo.
They talked nonsense, one after another, and made Hua Zhenghe furious.
