"You've learned how to treat piglets and applied it to humans; that's quite impressive."
"No, no."
Zhou Wan smiled modestly.
Xu Yuehuai realized that Zhou Wan was also a promising talent in martial arts. Fearing that someone might bully her when he was not around, he said, "I will teach you some more fighting techniques. There aren't many moves, but you must remember the skills and key points so that no one can bully you in the future."
"Mother, thank you."
"We're all family, let's not stand on ceremony, come on."
Xu Yuehuai taught quickly, and Zhou Wan learned even faster; next was social practice.
After all, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
At this moment, Zhou Qionghua was completely intimidated and looked at the other party in fear.
Eat!
Zhou Wan looked fierce and menacing.
"Eat quickly, do you want me to serve you?"
Zhou Wan roared, her face turning deathly pale.
To be honest, Xu Yuehuai had never seen Zhou Wan so furious.
Seeing her like this, she was extremely gratified. She thought to herself, "That's right."
"Zhou Wan, you bullied me, you..."
“You’ve always been the ones bullying me. I’ve worked hard for you every day, and what have you done? You’ve either caused me trouble or humiliated and tormented me. I’ve had enough. Today, let’s settle all the old and new scores together.”
Zhou Wan was furious and raised her hand.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Qionghua approached Xu Yuehuai for help.
"Ah Yue," she sobbed piercingly, "I'm your sister-in-law! Now this little brat is trying to humiliate and torture me, and you just turn a blind eye? I beg you, you..."
Xu Yuehuai gave Zhou Qionghua's hand gripping her sleeve a cold warning glance. "Now you know how to get close to her? You humiliated and tormented her back then. Now that you're in my team, I've already told you to listen to her. But what about you? Now that you two have ruined our food, you must accept the punishment. Otherwise, don't follow us anymore. Without rules, there can be no order. We'll deal with you as you see fit."
"week……"
Zhou Qionghua had nothing more to say.
But Zhou Wan had already pressed the filthy, muddy steamed bun onto her mouth.
Zhou Qionghua was extremely helpless and could only swallow it down.
At this moment, Liu Cuiming across from her burst into laughter, followed by Zhou Wan leaning closer to her, "That vegetable soup was carefully prepared by me. It's one thing for you to be lazy and gluttonous, but you also ruin and waste food by picking it up and eating it."
"Eat this? Zhou Wan, are you crazy? It's all her fault from beginning to end. What does it have to do with me? I'm not going to talk to you about this..."
At that moment, Zhou Wan grabbed Liu Cuiming's hair and forcefully pressed her head down onto the wet, dirty ground, causing Liu Cuiming to stammer.
The scene was extremely satisfying...
After the two were punished, Zhou Wan turned to look at Xu Yuehuai.
As usual, she timidly asked, "Mother, did we go too far just now?"
"It's only just begun, how can you go too far? Here, they have to obey."
Under Xu Yuehuai, everyone will be treated equally.
That night, everyone fell silent.
The next day, Zhou Qionghua cried and sobbed, "My poor, unfortunate husband, what am I going to do? Who can help me?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Yuehua frowned. "Isn't it because there are no clues? He's a man, what are you worried about? He only needs to use a tenth of the same cunning he uses against us to deal with those bad guys, what's there to worry about?"
"but……"
"Today, everyone is still going up the mountain to collect herbs to earn money. You can leave your affairs to me, brother."
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai had agreed, Zhou Qionghua nodded.
Xu Yuehuai moved closer to Liu Cuiming.
Liu Cuiming huddled in the corner, clenching her fists.
After last night's lesson, she understood two things: if she wanted to benefit from their success, she had to be obedient; and also... under Xu Yuehuai's tutelage, Zhou Wan would become very capable, and she wouldn't be staying here for long.
She longed to just leave.
But she longed to go to Chang'an.
I've heard that Chang'an is overflowing with gold and silver treasures.
Sister Zhang from the next village has settled down in Chang'an. She is a professional beggar. According to Sister Zhang, the capital city is rich in resources and has a large population. Even picking up garbage every day can earn her a lot of money.
Not to mention anything else.
"Auntie, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Cuiming was thinking about how to kill Zhou Wan and how to torment Xu Yuehuai in the future.
But when Xu Yuehuai asked her that question, Liu Cui muttered clearly, "I'm thinking about how to make up for my mistake. That's ten taels of silver."
“It’s all in the past. You must sincerely repent. We will monitor your every word and deed.” After Xu Yuehuai finished speaking, he gestured for her to go to a distance.
The two walked out of the ruins.
Xu Yuehuai then looked at Liu Cuiming.
Liu Cuiming looked pale and was in poor condition.
"Tell me, what did you see?"
“He deserved to die, should we really get involved? Let him fend for himself.” Realizing she had misspoke, Liu Cuiming quickly corrected herself, “I meant, don’t worry.”
What exactly did you see?
Xu Yuehuai pressed for an answer.
Liu Cuiming then recounted what she had seen.
In the afternoon, Xu Yuehuai returned and found that everyone had already sold the herbs.
Everyone was overjoyed because they had earned money for dinner again.
Yesterday, Zhou Wan reprimanded the two of them, and the atmosphere has become much more harmonious since today.
Seeing that everyone was self-sufficient, Xu Yuehuai was finally satisfied. After eating, Zhou Qionghua leaned closer and asked, "Have you come up with a solution yet?"
"An investigation has begun. We'll be setting up camp here soon. First of all, you must listen to Zhou Wan, or we'll run into trouble. As long as you obey, I will naturally find a way to take action immediately."
"I beg you, the child can't be without a father. To put it another way, he's still your older brother."
"Okay, I understand."
Xu Yuehuai began to make plans, but at that moment Jiang Shichen approached and said, "Count me in."
"What's so great about you, little one?" Xu Yuehuai knew that Jiang Shichen was clever and resourceful, and quite capable.
“We need you here. As a real man, you must promise to protect your mother and everyone else while I’m gone. Also, my aunt isn’t a very good person, so you need to be extra careful. Handling all of this is more important than saving lives.”
Jiang Shichen seemed to understand, but when she turned around, she saw the two of them staring fiercely at her mother, and Jiang Shichen immediately understood.
"Okay, you can leave this task to me. I will definitely handle it well."
"That's good. I'll take care of the rest," Xu Yuehuai said as she stood up. She added, "Don't forget the boxing techniques I taught you. You must teach your sister to learn them properly."
"I will study and practice diligently."
"Stop bragging here, I'll be checking later."
Xu Yuehuai was about to pat the little guy's head, but Jiang Shichen was clearly unwilling to be treated so affectionately, and Angji dodged it.
