Hua Qingqing returned to the Five - Star Production Brigade.
The wheels rolled quickly over the loess ground. She steered the handlebars to avoid the mud pits. Just as she smugly hummed a couple of notes, the next second, a stone hit her leg.
Hua Qingqing immediately hit the brakes and stopped. She looked at the stone and then in the direction from which it was thrown.
A bunch of slouchy teenagers were standing under a tree, looking at her with malicious smiles on their faces. They were just like the school bullies she had encountered when she attended a prestigious school in her previous life.
She couldn't understand. Why couldn't people just be decent? Why were there always some creatures that liked to push the limits of their species and act like beasts?
Hua Qingqing parked the bike to the side, rummaged around in the grass, found a stick, and walked towards the group.
For situations like this, only fists could make them remember and be afraid.
"Look at her. She even grabbed a stick. Is she planning to beat us up?"
"Haha, useless burden. Did you hit your head and go stupid?"
"Come on, come and see who this is..."
As Hua Qingqing got closer, she saw a person squatting under the tree. The person lifted their head, revealing a panicked and frightened face.
Wasn't this Yu Linyang, one of the twins?
"Cousin Qingqing, you should leave quickly..."
Yu Linyang didn't dare to meet her eyes directly. Maybe he felt ashamed.
She sized up the surroundings and roughly guessed the situation.
This was a small path that few people usually took. Moreover, everyone was busy in the fields at this time. It was just that Hua Qingqing wanted to take a shortcut home and came this way.
So, these people had cornered Yu Linyang here and were bullying him?
Hua Qingqing: "Did you beat him?"
She remembered these teenagers. They were about the same age as the twins. For various reasons, they either didn't go to school or dropped out halfway. They didn't help their families with the work and just loafed around the brigade all day, on the verge of becoming hooligans.
In her memory, the original owner had been bullied by these people. It was similar to what had just happened. When they saw her, they would throw a stone, just like teasing a dog.
"We're just playing with him. Why would we beat him? Haha."
"He's a good student. How could we possibly beat an intellectual?"
"Are you going to stand up for him?"
She didn't really care whether Yu Linyang had been beaten or not. She was just asking out of habit. A boy with arms and legs being cornered and bullied should have reflected on whether he was too useless.
It wasn't very far from here to the fields. If he shouted and ran like crazy, there should always be a chance to escape.
She was abducted at the age of eight and was able to trick the abductor into falling off a cliff and getting seriously injured. Whoever bullied her would receive a hundred - fold counter - attack. No one could take advantage of her.
"Why would I stand up for him? Didn't you just throw stones at me? I'm here to get even for myself."
The group was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.
"Are you really stupid? Hahaha."
"Hey, stupid. I heard you're going out with Su Qiang. Why was he taken away by the police?"
Hearing this, Hua Qingqing lifted her foot and kicked!
"Ouch!"
The mouthy hooligan was kicked to the ground.
The onlookers' expressions changed drastically. Before they could react, Hua Qingqing picked up the stick and started hitting. She stunned everyone in an instant. They scrambled around on the ground, and cries of pain filled the air!
Who would have thought that Hua Qingqing would actually dare to make a move!
"Ah, it hurts! It hurts!"
"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"
"Guys, fight back... Ouch, don't hit me. Hit them!"
One by one, in the order of the most mouthy.
More than ten minutes later, Hua Qingqing got on her bike and headed home.
Yu Linyang stared blankly at the people who had bullied him rolling around on the ground in a sorry state. He mustered up the courage to spit at them.
"You... If you bully me again next time, I'll tell my cousin Qingqing!"
Then he quickly chased after Hua Qingqing's bike and ran away.
Hua Qingqing first went back to the Yu family's place, put away her things, and placed the meat in the kitchen. Then she stuffed a few White Rabbit candies in her pocket and went to Lin Dongsheng's house to return the bike.
When she came back, she saw Yu Linyang waiting at the door of her small room. When he saw her, he quickly came over.
"Cousin Qingqing, you're so amazing. There were so many of them, like Dahu and his gang, but they were no match for you."
Hua Qingqing rolled her eyes. "That's because you're too useless. Get out of the way. Don't block my path."
Yu Linyang dejectedly stepped aside.
Just as Hua Qingqing was about to go into the room and close the door, she seemed to remember something. She stopped, turned around, and flashed a smile at Yu Linyang. She took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
"Yangyang..."
Yu Linyang shuddered. He almost dropped the candy. He nervously glanced at Hua Qingqing. "Cousin, don't call me that. It's kind of creepy."
Especially since she had just overpowered a group of teenagers with absolute force.
Hua Qingqing wasn't embarrassed at all. "Alright then, Yu Linyang. I'll be straight with you. I kind of saved you just now by accident. I have a favor to ask. Will you agree?"
Yu Linyang nodded and then shook his head. "Cousin, tell me first."
Tsk, he was quite cautious.
"I want to study. I learned some things from my eldest cousin before, so I want to start from junior high school this time. Do you still have your textbooks? Let me have a look."
The original owner had never been to school a single day in her 18 years. When she was a child, Yu Linxiu had taught her some numbers, but only from one to ten.
This could be used as an excuse. Anyway, Yu Linxiu didn't come back often, and Yu Linyang wasn't the type to ask endless questions.
Yu Linyang fetched a few textbooks and quite considerately brought some paper and a pen.
Hua Qingqing gave him a few more looks, took the books, and went into the room. When she came out again, there was a white flour bun in her hand.
She stuffed the bun directly into the stunned Yu Linyang's hand. Without caring about his reaction, she went back into the room and closed the door.
Hua Qingqing was looking at the books.
After a while, she heard some commotion outside.
Yu Linyun went to a neighbor's house to braid hair with her friend He Aihua. When she came back, she saw her younger brother munching on a white flour bun. She was both greedy and curious and managed to get a little more than half of it.
Yu Linyun said indistinctly, "You said this was given to you by Hua Qingqing?"
"Is she really that kind - hearted? And where did she get the money and tickets?"
How would Yu Linyang know?
"Don't talk about cousin like that. She's really nice. She just helped me chase away Dahu and his gang."
Just as he finished speaking, the courtyard gate was slapped loudly.
The two of them were startled and quickly hid the white flour bun.
"Open the door!"
"Hua Qingqing, come out!"
"You think you can hide after beating someone? Is there any law?"
Yu Linyang stood there pale - faced, but Yu Linyun didn't care. She was about to open the door, but Yu Linyang stopped her.
Yu Linyun really disliked his useless look. "What are you afraid of? They're not here for you. They're here for Hua Qingqing."
Yu Linyang shook his head.
"No, you wait. Let me tell cousin first. Don't open the door... At worst, I'll give you a bit more of the white flour bun."
Yu Linyun: "Okay!"
"..." Yu Linyang knocked on the small room.
Hua Qingqing opened the door and saw Yu Linyang looking extremely nervous.
"What's up?"
Yu Linyang pointed at the main gate. "Dahu's grandma is here. She's here to settle the score with you!"
