Jiang Yuwei was about to step forward to protect Ning Zhao, but then she thought that Ning Zhao was all grown up now. He had studied for so long and had learned some martial arts from his father and the mentally challenged man. He would definitely not suffer any losses. She wanted to see how Ning Zhao would handle this matter on his own.
All that could be heard was Young Master Ge standing arrogantly in front of Ning Zhao, hands on his hips, speaking in a domineering manner:
"Ning Zhao, no matter how good you are at fighting, you can't withstand being outnumbered, can you?"
Ning Zhao shielded Ning Chen behind her, frowned, and looked at Young Master Ge speechlessly, saying:
"What does it matter to you whether I can fight or not? Haven't you had enough of getting beaten up?"
Young Master Ge was furious when Ning Zhao spoke to him like that. He pointed at Ning Zhao and yelled:
"Don't be so arrogant. Today I'm going to beat you to a pulp."
After saying this, Young Master Ge waved his hand and called out to the servant beside him:
"Go get him! Beat him to death!"
Jiang Yuwei, fearing that Ning Zhao would suffer a loss, had already prepared her weapons and was ready to rush up to protect him. However, Ning Zhao had practiced a lot at the academy and was worried about not having anyone to practice with. Now that these people had actually rushed up to be his free sparring partners, he was naturally very happy.
Jiang Yuwei felt a little dazed, as if she saw the same kind of desire for fighting in Ning Zhao's face as a fool. Are all people who have learned kung fu like this? Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but feel speechless. She decided to observe first.
Ning Zhao delivered a flying kick to the knee of the first person who rushed at him, sending him crashing to his knees in pain. Another person tried to ambush Ning Zhao from the left, but Ning Zhao unexpectedly reached into his groin. For a moment, Jiang Yuwei thought she heard the sound of a testicle breaking. Hmm, she wasn't sure, she'd listen again.
The man clutched his groin, hopping in pain. Seeing the two in front of him so badly injured, the remaining men became hesitant and scattered, testing Ning Zhao from a distance. But Ning Zhao was engrossed in the fight and directly challenged one of them to a duel. These frail servants were no match for Ning Zhao. With just a few blows, Ning Zhao sent the man flying three meters away.
Jiang Yuwei, who was initially worried that Ning Zhao would be bullied, suddenly pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from somewhere and calmly started eating them, occasionally clapping and cheering for Ning Zhao.
Even Ning Chen, who had been hiding behind Ning Zhao, was no longer panicked. He turned around and saw Jiang Yuwei standing outside watching the show. He rushed to Jiang Yuwei's side, asked her for some melon seeds, and the two of them became spectators.
Jiang Yuwei turned to Ning Chen and boasted:
"See Ning Chen? Our Zhao'er is really good at fighting, isn't she? You should learn a few self-defense moves from her when you have time, okay?"
Ning Chen was also thrilled by what he saw. He nodded repeatedly after hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, but he couldn't bear to take his eyes off Ning Zhao for even a moment.
Young Master Ge, who was standing to the side, thought that he could finally vent his anger because he had brought a lot of people this time. However, he did not expect that Ning Zhao's fighting skills had become even more powerful after not having contact with him for a few days. At this moment, Young Master Ge was desperately directing his servants to rush forward, but they fell down one after another. In no time, all of the dozen or so servants that Young Master Ge had brought were taken down by Ning Zhao.
Ning Zhao patted the dirt off his hands, looked disdainfully at his defeated opponents scattered on the ground, and said with dissatisfaction:
"You guys are too weak, not a single one of you can fight."
After saying that, Ning Zhao turned her gaze to Young Master Ge, who was still standing there in a daze, and said calmly:
"Do you want to get beaten up?"
Seeing this, Young Master Ge quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, no, I don't want to...!"
With that, he screamed and ran away.
Ning Zhao pouted in displeasure, and Jiang Yuwei quickly stepped forward to wipe the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
When Ning Zhao saw that it was her mother, she happily said:
"Mother, what brings you here?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"I came to watch Zhao'er fight. Zhao'er is very strong now, but you must remember that there are always people stronger than you and the sky is always higher than the sky. If one day you meet someone you can't beat, you must remember these four words."
Ning Zhao tilted her head curiously and asked:
Which four characters?
Jiang Yuwei smiled mysteriously:
"Of course, it's best to [make a quick getaway]!"
Ning Zhao pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said:
"Mother is right."
Jiang Yuwei turned around and said to Ning Chen:
"Ning Chen, go to my shop and find your sister. She's here too. We'll have lunch together at the shop today, and then go back to Ningjia Village together tonight. I'll go with Zhao'er to pick up his father first."
Ning Chen looked in the direction Jiang Yuwei was pointing, nodded happily, and ran into the shop.
Jiang Yuwei then led Ning Zhao toward Huichuntang.
"Zhao'er, how did you do on the exam?"
Ning Zhao raised his head and laughed:
"He did only so-so on the exam; he was just the top student in our academy."
Jiang Yuwei was very happy to hear this. She knew that Ning Zhao was smart and eager to learn, but she did not expect that his level in the academy was so high. If he continued to achieve such results, he should have no problem passing the preliminary examination next year. However, if she wanted Ning Zhao to achieve even greater success in the future, she was afraid that he could not stay in Ping'an Town all the time.
Jiang Yuwei was conflicted. She was actually content with a modest life and felt that it would be great if her family could establish themselves in Ping'an Town. However, if her two children were successful and wanted to strive for greater things in the future, she wouldn't stop them. She could only work hard to earn money and be a support for them in the future.
Jiang Yuwei led Ning Zhao to the entrance of Huichun Hall. The two glanced inside and froze in shock.
Ning Huaizhi, without any external assistance, was pacing back and forth in Huichuntang on his own. Although he took very small steps and each step was very difficult, he was able to walk!
Just as the two were overjoyed, there was a "thump" and Ning Huaizhi fell to the ground. Jiang Yuwei and Ning Zhao rushed forward to help him up without thinking of anything else.
Hearing the noise, Dr. Lin came out from the inner room and said anxiously:
"Huaizhi, I've already told you not to be too impatient. You do need to cooperate with the training right now, but you can't hold on for too long. If your original leg injury isn't fully healed and you accidentally fall and get seriously injured, wouldn't that be a loss outweighing the gain!"
After listening to Dr. Lin's words, Jiang Yuwei wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief and advised him:
"Huaizhi, you can't rush this exercise. Your leg has been injured for so long, it won't heal overnight. We're not in a hurry, don't put too much pressure on yourself. This afternoon I'll take you to Manager Wang to make you a pair of crutches. With crutches, you'll be more safe when you exercise."
Seeing Jiang Yuwei's considerate manner, Dr. Lin couldn't help but smile:
“Yes, Huaizhi, with such a capable and good wife, it’s only a matter of time before you get back on your feet. There’s no need to rush.”
