103 Fist Is Better

“That’s right, that’s right. It can’t be that you can’t afford to lose!”

Obviously, Liu Gen would not listen to advice.

Zhou Xiaoli was so annoyed by Liu Gen that she could not be bothered to waste her breath on him.

She stretched her wrists and ankles and said to Wei Chiyu, “Wei Chiyu, my hands are itching.”

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Wei Chiyu attacked.

Before anyone could see what was happening, Liu Gen was pressed to the ground.

Zhou Xiaoli walked up to him before punching and kicking him. Of course, she avoided hitting him on his vitals, but wherever her attack landed, it would result in a lot of pain but would not leave obvious scars or hurt his life.

After a few punches, Liu Gen began to beg for mercy.

People were watching from the side, but not many dared to come up and stop the fight.

Thus, Liu Gen was pressed to the ground by Zhou Xiaoli and he received a good beating.

Finally, after venting her anger, Zhou Xiaoli clapped her hands free of dust. She then coldly asked, “Let’s see if you would still dare to come and bother me!”

Liu Gen was beaten until he was crying for his parents. He begged for mercy and said that he would not dare to do it again.

Zhou Xiaoli kicked him again. “Then get lost! Don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”

Liu Gen was scared out of his wits. He nodded, got up from the ground, and ran away in a sorry state without looking back.

Zhou Xiaoli snorted and lamented that fists were still the most useful when dealing with such people!

Want to be shameless? I’ll beat you till you don’t dare to make a sound!

This time, no one came to block their way. Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu successfully left the den.

After taking the donkey cart from the transit station, the two of them did not stay any longer and went straight to the clinic that Foreman Cao was in.

However, they missed him. Foreman Cao had already been brought home by his family.

Thinking that they would visit Foreman Cao another day, the two of them went home first.

This time, they rushed home just in time for lunch.

Zhang Lan brought all the bowls and chopsticks to the table and started to call everyone to come to the table to eat. “Alright, alright. Stop looking at the items. Come and eat.”

“Li’er, Chiyu, quickly go wash your hands. We would have time to move things down later.”

“Brother Jun, stop looking. Take your sister to wash her hands. Your father caught a lot of river crabs in the fish basket set in the river last night. We have steamed crabs this afternoon.”

Zhou Junjun was gingerly holding the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that Zhou Xiaoli had bought for him. At this moment, he could not bear to put it down. When he heard Zhang Lan’s shout, he did not move at all.

At the side, Zhou Xiaoyu was extremely anxious. She kept shouting, “Brother, let me see, let me see.”

Zhou Junjun did not let go at all. He hugged the items tightly to himself. “Third Sister, don’t touch it. Don’t touch it. What if you break it? Elder Sister bought this for me!”

As the two of them argued, Zhou Xiaoyu burst into tears.

“Bad brother, I will tell Sis that you bullied me.”

Zhou Junjun was still hugging his Four Treasures of the Study Room like a treasure. He snorted and said, “How shameless. Why should you tell our elder sister about our matters? You’re a snitch. You’re a crybaby.”

Zhou Xiaoyu wiped her tears and shouted, “I’m not a snitch. I’m a crybaby!”

Zhou Junjun: “Then why did you still say that you were going to tell our Elder Sister? Tell Elder Sister that you’re a snitch and you’re still crying? You’re such a crybaby!”

Zhou Xiaoyu wiped her face with her hands and stopped crying. She sobbed and said, “I didn’t tell Sis. I’m not a snitch. I didn’t cry either!”

At this moment, Zhang Lan shouted again, “Brother, Third Sister, what are you doing? Come and eat!”

Obviously, Zhang Lan’s tone became more serious.

The two little ones stopped arguing and went to the dining table one after another.

Zhou Junjun sat down first, still holding his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Zhang Lan couldn’t help but be puzzled at his actions. “Brother Jun, how are you going to eat with a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in your hands? Put it down for now.”

Zhou Junjun shook his head and insisted, “I can eat with one hand.”

Zhang Lan frowned. “Didn’t you say you wanted to eat crabs? How can you eat them with one hand?”

However, crabs were not that tempting anymore. Zhou Junjun blinked and was unmoved.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu walked over after washing their hands.

With a glance, she saw that Zhou Junjun was still carrying his Four Treasures of the Study Room.

Zhou Xiaoli laughed. “No, Brother Jun, we’re eating. Why are you holding this?”

Zhang Lan sighed. “That’s right. I told him off, but he still ignored me. This child is really…”

In fact, Zhou Xiaoli could understand Zhou Junjun’s feelings. He was just a child. Once he got something he liked, he would love it so much that he could not bear to part with it. He had to bring it with him wherever he went. Otherwise, he would be worried.

Hence, she smiled and said, “Brother Jun, if you carry them to eat like this, you’ll dirty the paper. Don’t tell me you want to cover the paper with oil before you write on it?”

These words were very effective on Zhou Junjun, who was extremely fond of the items. He started to hesitate.

Zhou Xiaoli added, “Put them away first. They can’t run away, can they?”

Zhou Junjun lowered his head and looked at the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in his arms. In the end, he nodded and ran back to his room to put the Four Treasures of the Study Room away.

Zhang Lan smiled and said, “These two children listen to Li’er the most.”

Then, she gestured for Wei Chiyu to sit down.

The entire family sat down. At this moment, Zhou Junjun ran out of the room and said happily, “Elder Sister, I’ve already placed it away!”

Zhou Xiaoli smiled. “Good boy, sit down and eat.”

“Okay!” Zhou Junjun nodded and jogged back to his seat.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyu, who was sitting beside him, was unhappy.

Jumping down from the stool, she raised her butt and picked up her small stool. She staggered to Zhou Xiaoli’s side and said, “Sister, Little Fishy wants to sit with you.”

Although Zhou Xiaoli was puzzled, she asked Wei Chiyu to move aside to make room for Zhou Xiaoyu. “Alright, put the stool in.”

When their family ate, they did not follow the rules of seniority. They just ate together as a family. Happiness was the most important.

Therefore, after everyone was seated, it was time to eat.

Zhou Xiaoli looked at Zhou Xiaoyu, who was pouting unhappily, and then at Zhou Junjun. He asked, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you sitting with your brother today? Don’t you usually stick to him?”

Zhou Xiaoyu pouted and said fiercely, “I don’t want to sit with my brother. I’m not playing with him anymore!”

Zhou Xiaoli was almost amused. “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you friends with him again?”

This time, Zhou Xiaoyu pouted. “Hmph, I won’t be friends with him!”

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xiaoli knew that the two little fellows were throwing a tantrum, so she didn’t care about them anymore. It was better to let them solve these small problems themselves first.

Hence, she smiled and said, “I bought you a beautiful hairpin in the city today. Do you want it?”

Children were the easiest to coax. When she heard that, her round eyes lit up and she immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, yes.”

Zhou Xiaoli smiled. “Alright, have a good meal. After dinner, I’ll help you tie your hair with it.”

“Okay,” she replied happily. Then, she focused on her rice bowl and started eating.

After Zhou Xiaoli finished coaxing Zhou Xiaoyu, she looked up and realized that there was an opened crab in her bowl.
