Chang Zhen felt his face burning. He felt embarrassed at the thought of his crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. He had never lost his composure like this in his more than forty years of life.
Zhu Fanfan said, "It's almost time. I'm going back to cook. Take care of yourself and don't let others laugh at you."
After speaking, he glanced at the people around him. The people around him were sensible and said they were going home to cook and were about to leave, but no one moved.
Food is the most important thing for people, and Chang Zhen felt he shouldn't disturb others while they were cooking and eating, so he politely said that he also had to go back and cook.
After Chang Zhen left, an old woman said, "Girl! Your method is good, but Professor Chang Zhen probably won't be able to swallow his pride. He's going to suffer this in silence."
They often say that those with thick skin get to eat their fill, while those with thin skin don't get enough to eat. Professor Chang Zhen's temper not only leaves him hungry but also causes him to have his bowl smashed. He's so concerned with saving face that he suffers for it.
Zhu Fanfan grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket and handed them to the old woman who had spoken. Upon seeing this, another old woman immediately chimed in, "Girl, we won't spread what you just said, but there are a few gossipy people over there who will definitely tell everyone. You need to be careful of Chang Zhen's tenants. Those people aren't as easy to talk to as your tenants. They'll definitely cause you trouble. You'd better find a few friends to stay with you, preferably men, to keep them in check. Otherwise, you'll definitely have to pay compensation."
Zhu Fanfan took out a handful of melon seeds and handed them to the old woman who had spoken: "Aunt Huang, I don't even know them. Are they trying to extort me?"
Aunt Huang immediately spoke frankly: "Those guys are all scoundrels, stealing chickens and dogs everywhere. They'll take a piece of pork from anyone they smell before they're done, otherwise they won't leave. They throw tantrums and make a scene, and we don't want to deal with them."
As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together." The whole courtyard reeked of foul odors, and they didn't even want to talk to them. However, most of them were original residents of the area, their families having lived here for generations, so they didn't dare to go too far. Fanfan, being a girl, needed to be careful.
It has to be said that Fanfan's original tenants were really nice. No one ever spoke ill of her. She moved out immediately when she wanted to stay. Now, there's chaos everywhere because of the house. Fanfan is really lucky.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Okay, I'll call my brother and ask him to come and stay with me for a while."
Aunt Huang said, "Call more people; we can't beat them if we don't have enough."
Zhu Fanfan could only thank them and say that she had to go back to cook before they left.
Before Ming Laosan could come over, Chang Zhen's tenants came and caused trouble in the evening. The door lock was banged on loudly. Zhu Fanfan was looking at the map and considering which piece of land to buy when she was startled. She went to the door angrily and opened it to find several young men outside. Aunt Huang and the others were at the back, talking about something.
The man began to speak: "You instigated Professor Chang to kick us out and even went to the school to complain to the children. How can you be so vicious at such a young age? You're ruining our children's future. We're here to teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders, you little brat."
Chang Zhen, who was behind them, was still shouting, "This has nothing to do with Fanfan. Come out here. This is our business."
Aunt Huang chimed in from behind, "You should resolve your own issues. Why are you making things difficult for a young girl? Have you no shame?"
The women standing in front of Aunt Huang said directly, "What does this have to do with you? You were there at the time, wasn't it your idea?"
Aunt Huang retorted, "Don't try that on me. You're trying to pin this on me. Let me tell you, my husband and in-laws are here!"
Zhu Fanfan, seeing her door kicked several times, finally lost her temper: "I'll teach you to kick my door! Who do you think you are, daring to kick my door? I'll kick you to death!"
Zhu Fanfan held back her strength when she hit people. She couldn't use her internal energy or go all out. It was so frustrating to hit someone like that. In just a few moves, she kicked several big men to the ground, their faces bruised and their bodies covered in wounds. They were quickly unable to fight back. Zhu Fanfan asked the women behind her, "Are you the wives of these men?"
Before the women could react, Zhu Fanfan grabbed their hair and slapped them twice across the face. Fists rained down on them, and they didn't even have time to fight back.
After Zhu Fanfan stopped, the group of people were already lying on the ground, unable to get up. She wasn't injured at all, which stunned the group of people around her. The man on the ground cried out, "Mother, where are you? I've been beaten!"
Some people were even threatening to call the police. Zhu Fanfan retorted angrily, "Go ahead and call them! Who has time to call the police? Professor Chang, you go ahead and do it. Are you going to act lawlessly in broad daylight?"
Chang Zhen cleared his throat: "Fanfan, why don't we, as neighbors, resolve this ourselves?"
The main thing is that it was too shocking. He couldn't beat even one of the tenants, but Zhu Fanfan defeated them all in just a few moves. No wonder she dared to go to such a far place alone. If he had that skill, he wouldn't be afraid of those tenants either. But if something happens and the police are called, she will be the one who suffers. At worst, he can make some concessions. He can't let a young girl suffer.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Hurry up and report it to the police. They're trying to cause trouble for me."
Aunt Huang calmed down and said, "Fanfan, we'll still be neighbors, why don't we settle this privately?"
They're just a bunch of thugs and scoundrels, the police can't do anything about them, and they'll still cause trouble in the future. Knowing that Fanfan is skilled, they'll definitely use some tricks and schemes that are hard to guard against. It's better to be careful with a little girl like her.
The man lying on the ground started groaning, "I've been badly beaten. I'm going to call the police and go to the hospital for a medical examination."
It was as if a switch had been flipped; the rest of the people started groaning and complaining that they wanted to go to the hospital or call the police.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Aunt Huang, this matter is not over. Go report it to the police. When you come back, I'll give you a bowl of braised pork. There's no place to seek justice in broad daylight."
Seeing that Zhu Fanfan was so insistent, and that she had completely abandoned all reason upon hearing about braised pork, Aunt Huang tiptoed and ran away, and there was no way to stop her.
A short while later, Aunt Huang arrived with two police officers. Before the tenants could speak, Zhu Fanfan immediately took out her identification: "This is my work ID. I suspect these people are spies who came here tonight to gather information and have ulterior motives. Arrest them and interrogate them immediately."
Once the documents were confirmed to be correct, the police immediately took the matter seriously and said, "We will definitely conduct a thorough review."
The man on the ground panicked: "We heard that she instigated Professor Chang to drive us away. We were furious and came here to seek justice. She started hitting us right away. We're already like this, so please arrest her immediately."
Zhu Fanfan smiled sweetly and said, "I've already said that I work in a classified unit and I have a lot of confidential documents at home. Besides, I live here alone. If a group of you came over at night, did some accomplices already go in and steal something? You'd better confess quickly."
The man on the ground tried to stand up, but found that he was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up at all. He hissed and said, "We are innocent. We just came to seek justice."
