[Brain storage area, the usual satisfying story, as logical as possible, strong female lead and strong male lead, come on, let’s walk into a brand new story together.]
“Are you a pair of underwear? Because you’re so good at showing off!”
Lin Jinghong curled her lips at the person before her, and one sentence silenced the noisy courtyard.
She picked herself up from the dirt-covered ground and patted the dust off her butt.
“Damn green tea bitch, I’ve been putting up with you for way too long!”
She charged over with a wild scream, slapped the stunned Bai Ruoxue to the ground with one blow, then straddled her and started swinging left and right.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Bai Ruoxue was completely dazed from the beating. The searing pain finally snapped her back to her senses.
“Help—”
The others who had been frozen in shock also came to their senses, and the small courtyard immediately fell into chaos.
An auntie wearing a patched blue-grey jacket slapped her thigh. “Oh no! The Lin family’s girl has gone mad again! Quick, someone, come help!”
“Ah, save her! Bai Zhiqing is going to be beaten to death!”
They shouted, but no one dared to move. In the whole brigade, who could possibly beat Lin Jinghong when she was in one of her fits?
She was someone who didn’t care about her own life.
In no time, Bai Ruoxue was rolling her eyes from the beating.
Lin Jinghong finally let out the pent-up frustration in her chest.
After reading stories for so long, her hand could finally reach through the screen—why not get a good hit in?
“Are you all dead? Pull her off!” The brigade leader had rushed over with his men upon hearing that Lin Jinghong had gone mad, and his vision went dark at the sight.
The strong young men beside him all shrank back hesitantly.
“What are you standing there for? Pull her off!” The brigade leader shouted again.
Only then did everyone scramble forward to separate them.
Lin Jinghong had gotten her fill of satisfaction, so she let herself be pulled away.
“Ow! Brigade leader, you’re finally here! I’m being bullied to death!” Then she let out a loud wail and grabbed the brigade leader, sobbing as she complained.
“…?”
Bullied??
The brigade leader felt like he no longer knew what that word meant.
“Let go of me first!”
“No! If you don’t get justice for me, I won’t let go.” There was a wild stubbornness in Lin Jinghong’s calm eyes.
Mad cow disease—full-blown mad cow disease!
The brigade leader’s forehead throbbed, and his head ached terribly.
He took a deep breath. “Someone tell me what happened today?!”
Who the hell provoked this lunatic again?!
A flicker of amusement quickly passed through Lin Jinghong’s eyes.
Everyone started talking at once, and the story came out clearly. No one exaggerated or embellished, afraid that Lin Jinghong might fly into another rage.
The unconscious Bai Ruoxue on the ground was a perfect example of what happened.
The zhiqing who had come with the brigade leader quietly helped Bai Ruoxue up and stood to the side without saying a word.
But they glared at Lin Jinghong with fury.
The moment she looked back at them, they shrank and averted their eyes.
What had happened today? Originally, Lin Jinghong had been working hard to earn work points when her little sister brought her some mung bean soup. But on the way, she ran into Gouwa, the village troublemaker.
Lin Jinghong hadn’t had an episode in six months, so people had gradually forgotten how fierce she could be.
Gouwa caught the sweet scent of the mung bean soup and couldn’t resist—he just snatched it.
Lin Xiaomei refused to give it up and fought desperately to protect it.
Gouwa was older than her and a boy, so she was no match for him at all.
Not only was the mung bean soup taken, but she also got a beating.
Bai Ruoxue saw the whole thing.
Not only did she not stop it, but when Lin Jinghong came to settle the score, she stepped forward and twisted the facts, urging Lin Jinghong to just let it go.
She went on about how girls should be ladylike, or no one would want them.
She also insinuated that Lin Jinghong’s behavior was that of a shrew, embarrassing all the girls.
And she really twisted the knife in Lin Jinghong’s heart, saying that the reason her crush didn’t like her was because she was crazy.
Lin Jinghong couldn’t take it anymore. She charged over to beat her up, but stepped on a rock and face-planted, knocking herself out.
Then the real mentally ill Lin Jinghong from the modern world arrived.
“Always standing on your moral high ground, yapping away—even underwear isn’t as good at showing off as you.” Lin Jinghong sneered.
Blood was still flowing from the wound on her forehead. She curled her lips, her gaze dark and eerie.
Creepy.
“You…” Bai Ruoxue, who had just woken up, nearly fainted again.
Her face was swollen into a giant pig head.
“Brigade leader…” She whimpered pitifully, on the verge of tears.
But she had no idea that with her current appearance, anyone who looked at her would have nightmares.
The brigade leader shuddered in disgust, then turned around. “Wu Ershun, control your Gouwa! Stealing other people’s things—what a disgrace!”
Wu Ershun shrank his neck, wanting to argue, but when he met the brigade leader’s gaze, he grinned sheepishly and said it wouldn’t happen again.
“Pay five yuan and this matter is settled.” Lin Jinghong spoke up in a low, eerie tone.
“What?! Five yuan?! Why don’t you just rob us!” Wu Ershun’s mother jumped up the moment she heard money.
“Isn’t this robbing?” Lin Jinghong bared her teeth.
“…”
The brigade leader’s mouth twitched. Afraid she might go crazy again, he said, “Pay the five yuan. Your Gouwa not only stole someone’s mung bean soup but also beat the little girl up like this. If you don’t pay, I’ll deduct it from your work points!”
“Brigade leader, five yuan is way too much! A little girl like her isn’t worth that much!”
“Not paying?” Lin Jinghong looked around, then ran to the corner of the wall and picked up a rock.
“I’ll give your Gouwa a knock on the head, and then we’ll call it even.”
With that said, she was already inside the Wu family’s house, dragging Gouwa out.
Everyone was startled.
With that bull-like strength of hers, a single stone could kill—let alone a child, even an adult wouldn’t survive.
“Are you giving it or not?!” the brigade leader glared.
Wu Ershun panicked and shouted, “Fine, we’ll give it! We’ll give it!”
What a heartache!
Even in a good year, a work point was only worth five or six cents. How long would it take to earn five yuan!
Hearing his words, Lin Jinghong dragged the trembling Gouwa into the yard.
“Cash on delivery.”
“You—”
Wu Ershun didn’t dare argue, urging his old mother to get the money quickly, afraid that if they delayed even a moment, his son would be done for.
Old Lady Wu’s cheeks twitched with pain.
She grudgingly pulled out a pile of colorful bills and handed them to Lin Jinghong.
Lin Jinghong tossed Gouwa aside. “Next time I see anyone bullying my family, I’ll twist their head right off.”
The seriousness in her eyes made it clear she wasn’t joking.
“Come on, let’s go home.” She pulled the frail Lin Xiaomei along.
“Brigade leader, what about her hitting me?” Seeing her about to leave, Bai Ruoxue couldn’t hold it in.
She was just going to take a beating for nothing?
“You think I hit you too lightly?” Lin Jinghong turned back without hesitation.
She moved fast, and in an instant, another slap landed.
This time, it sent Bai Ruoxue sprawling to the ground, unconscious once again.
The female educated youth Hu Hongmei, who was supporting Bai Ruoxue, was frozen stiff with fear.
“There, now she can’t yap anymore,” Lin Jinghong said, dusting off her hands.
She turned and gave the petrified brigade leader a thumbs up. “Oh fair and upright brigade leader, you’ll get what’s coming to you.”
Then she swaggered off with her little sister.
Brigade leader, “…”
Brigade leader, “??!!”
Damn it, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Something about that doesn’t sit right!
Everyone else in the yard was also frozen in shock. Lin Jinghong’s bold move spread through Qingyan Brigade at lightning speed.
