Shen Banxia had no idea that Xu Wenzhu was trying to compare herself to her.
She was really tired of eating boiled vegetables, and after finding out that Aunt Zhu was a good cook, she thought about whether she could go to her place to cook a meal.
But today, it just so happens that it's my turn to gather firewood. These educated youths don't have any of the spirit of courtesy and deference; it's all decided by rock-paper-scissors, and everyone has to take responsibility.
And now it's Shen Banxia's turn.
Carrying a basket on her back, Shen Banxia went up the mountain. However, who was that flamboyant man halfway up the mountain who wasn't looking for Zhigao?
Zhao Zhigao waved his hands excitedly, finally finding an opportunity. "Hello, Shen Zhiqing, are you here to gather firewood? Let me help you."
Shen Banxia refused outright, "No need, I can do it myself, everyone takes turns."
"Oh, don't be so polite. We're all educated youth, so it's only right that you help me and I help you. Look at you, so fair and tender. What if your face gets scratched by the firewood? I'd be heartbroken then," Zhao Zhigao said, making a gesture of holding his heart like Xi Shi.
Shen Banxia: ...
"Ugh~", I couldn't hold it in any longer, "Get out of here!"
Zhao Zhigao felt good about himself. He thought that this must be because she was embarrassed, and asked with concern, "Shen Zhiqing, did you eat something bad? Do you want me to take a look? I know a little about medicine."
Seeing that Zhao Zhigao was about to make a move, Shen Banxia kicked him without hesitation.
Zhao Zhigao clutched his lower body in pain, cold sweat pouring down his face, his features contorted in agony.
It was so painful that I couldn't even speak.
Shen Banxia rubbed her wrist. "Why did you have to provoke me? I think you won't learn your lesson unless you get a beating."
Zhao Zhigao instinctively tried to step back, but the pain was so intense that he couldn't move at all.
Watching helplessly as Shen Banxia waved her pink fist, I initially thought nothing of it.
As a result, he felt as if he had been hit by a steel plate, "Ouch—".
Shen Banxia rubbed her ears. "Your voice is really awful."
They simply used whatever was available, gathered a clump of wild grass, and without any hesitation, pulled the person's head back and stuffed the clump of grass directly into their mouth.
Shen Banxia said with satisfaction, "Yes, that's better. At least I don't have to hear such a shrill voice anymore."
Zhao Zhigao's eyes showed fear, his gaze saying, "Don't come any closer!"
But would Shen Banxia listen? Of course not. She finally had a chance to stretch her muscles and teach this lecherous scoundrel a lesson. How could she possibly let it go?
If you don't teach someone who's so glib-tongued a lesson, they'll definitely keep spouting nonsense next time.
No, he's not just a smart aleck; he's also planning to take advantage of people by touching them inappropriately.
Since that's the case, then we can't let it go.
Zhao Zhigao instantly felt the fist landing on him become even heavier.
Shen Banxia felt more and more satisfied as she hit him. "Hmm, this feels pretty good. You're a very suitable punching bag. Hmm, next time if you're unhappy about something, you'll have someone to vent your anger on."
Zhao Zhigao chickened out, his eyes pleading.
Shen Banxia ignored him, punching him as she asked, "Well? Have you realized your mistake?"
Zhao Zhigao was sobbing.
"Huh? You're not going to talk, huh? Then I'll beat you until you admit it."
Zhao Zhigao's eyes showed despair, and tears finally fell uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.
Shen Banxia finally had a change of heart. "Oh, I forgot to stuff you with wild grass," she said with a look of disgust, pulling it out and asking again, "So? Do you want to continue being my sparring partner next time?"
Zhao Zhigao was dumbfounded. He felt like his brain wasn't working properly. What was going on? He was ready to back down, so why was he still being asked to be a sparring partner?
He felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart; he had never felt this much pain when his father beat him before this year.
"Grandma, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again, please, please forgive me."
Zhao Zhigao was truly frightened. He realized that this man showed absolutely no mercy when he hit people.
It's like they're going to beat someone to death.
Shen Banxia was unaware of his thoughts; otherwise, she would have cried out that she was innocent. She was the most law-abiding person; how could she possibly kill someone? Wasn't that a crime? She wouldn't do it.
"Alright, I'll let you off the hook for now. We'll see what you do later. By the way, you probably don't want to tell anyone, right? Of course, I don't think anyone would believe you even if you did. How could a weak woman like me, who can't even lift a bucket of water, possibly beat a tall man like you into a pig's head?"
Zhao Zhigao inwardly cursed him as a shameless scoundrel.
But his face was all smiles, though it was the kind of face that looked like a pig's head, which just made people look ridiculous and laughable.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone. I'll keep this a secret. If you find out I said a word, just beat me to death," she said quickly, as if afraid of being beaten if she was even a step too slow.
Shen Banxia nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, let's see how they perform from here on out."
Zhao Zhigao immediately swore that he would definitely perform well.
After beating Zhao Zhigao up, Shen Banxia quickly gathered the firewood.
On the way down the mountain, they found Liu Zhe, who wore glasses, lying unconscious on the ground. With the thought that "saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda", Shen Banxia took his pulse. Thinking of this, she happened to have a pill that he could eat in her pocket.
She pried open his mouth and stuffed it in. After watching him swallow it, Shen Banxia left.
What she didn't know was that Zhou Mingjiao arrived right after she left.
Seeing that Liu, the educated youth, was unconscious, he directly fed him water. Perhaps he would need to ask him to speak on his behalf in the future, since Su Wenze valued them, the educated youth, quite a bit.
Liu Zhe slowly woke up. He knew about his condition and looked at Zhou Mingjiao, "Did you save me?"
Zhou Mingjiao was taken aback, then nodded.
"Thank you, I will repay you," he said and left.
Zhou Mingjiao was baffled and was still preparing to go up the mountain to look for Su Wenze, but she couldn't find him at all.
When she got home, she saw her older brother staring blankly into space. Remembering that they hadn't had meat in a long time, she wanted to go find him, but he was useless, so she secretly pursed her lips.
However, she did make some other discoveries while hiking up the mountain today; she spotted wild boars.
Thinking of this, she went to Zhou's mother and told her about her discovery.
Zhou's mother hesitated for a moment, "That's a wild boar, your brother and the others don't have that ability, and if your father finds out, who knows how angry he'll be."
"Mom, I want to eat meat."
"Okay, Mom will go buy it for you." As for the wild boar, forget it; she was afraid she wouldn't live to eat it.
Upon hearing this news, Zhou Mingqian, who had been lost in thought, suddenly brightened up and an idea popped into his head.
