Chapter 420 50 Little Girls (16)
After returning home, Shen Ziang remembered what Wangyou had said about Uncle Shen, so he went to ask his father.
"Dad, has someone new come to our compound?"
"What's wrong?"
"I saw a girl today, she was really beautiful."
"You little rascal, you're not just lusting after her, are you!"
"Dad, do you think I'm that kind of person? I was just asking."
“A young lady recently came to our compound. She’s the eldest daughter of Commander Liu. The one you ran into is probably her,” Aunt Shen said with a smile.
"Uncle Liu really does have a daughter? I thought he was just joking!"
"You, don't even think about that girl, you're not good enough for her," Brigade Commander Shen said bluntly.
"Why wouldn't I be good enough for him? There's a long line of people in the compound who like me," Shen Ziang said narcissistically.
“Son, although your mother thinks you are wonderful in every way, you should stop thinking about Commander Liu’s daughter. You are really not good enough for her.” Aunt Shen added, “I only saw her from afar today, and it made me feel inferior.”
"Why are you all pouring cold water on me?" Shen Ziang protested. "I haven't even tried it, how do you know it won't work?"
"Your intelligence is mismatched. Look at your test paper. Do you even know what that girl does for a living?"
"What?"
“She’s a talent that the country is in dire need of. Look at you, you can find a lot of people like you on the street. Besides, that girl definitely wouldn’t be interested in you.”
Shen Ziang was stunned. "Dad, why are you boosting others' morale while diminishing your own? You've been lying to me!"
"Why would I lie to you? That kid could do that ten years ago, and he's definitely better now than he was ten years ago. You should just study hard and join the army. Your dad is in this position now, so I'm still somewhat useful," Brigade Commander Shen said earnestly.
Shen Ziang didn't say anything more, and no one knew what he was thinking.
But from that day on, Shen Ziang stopped playing around and started to really work hard. This puzzled the other children from the compound, but since their leader had behaved himself, they naturally followed suit and started studying inexplicably.
"Dad, Mom, I want to go back to the countryside to see Grandpa."
"It's time to go back and visit. Dad can't leave here, so please remember to tell your grandfather for me." Liu Weiguo forced a smile.
"Well, definitely."
Hu Xiulan naturally had to come along, and the two children couldn't be left behind either. So, Wangyou's journey back to her hometown was rather large, but that didn't really matter.
Zhao Gang and the others followed automatically, while Liu Weiguo bought several sleeper tickets.
It was Chang'an and Chang Le's first time traveling far from home, and they were incredibly well-behaved; just ignore their darting eyes.
Wangyou grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies for each of them to eat and play with.
The sleeper berths on the train were relatively quiet, but on the way here, Wangyou learned a lot. There were all sorts of people on the train, and the smells were indescribable. Some even brought chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. It was quite an eye-opening experience.
Nothing bad happened along the way, and we returned to Dagou Village safely.
The old village chief passed away five years ago, and his son succeeded him.
As for the house, it has been dilapidated and desolate for years because no one has lived there.
When Wangyou left, she didn't remove the poisonous plants and herbs around the courtyard. Now they've grown so lush and abundant that the villagers are even more afraid to come here.
"Wangyou, do you still remember Dazhu?"
"Dazhu, remember? What's wrong?"
“Dazhu joined the army a few years ago, and I heard he found a girlfriend there this year. His parents said they’ll have the wedding at the end of the year.” The village chief thought it would be better to tell Wangyou.
"Where is he serving in the military?"
"I don't know about that."
"Thanks, Brother Shuanzi, I understand."
"Wangyou, why did Shuanzi tell you about that big pillar?"
“My grandfather died trying to save Liu Dazhu. After he passed away, that family wanted to take advantage of the family's lack of offspring and shamelessly insisted on arranging a marriage between us when we were children. I was young at the time and had to stay in the village, so I eventually agreed after being pestered for a long time.”
"So what do we do now?"
"Mom, do you think it would be okay if I made Liu Dazhu pay back the life he owed my grandfather?" Wangyou suddenly asked expressionlessly.
What do you want to do?
"Of course, he should pay for my grandfather's life! Since the reason for the engagement was that my grandfather saved his life, now that he wants to marry someone else, he should return the life!"
"Girl, are you planning to marry Liu Dazhu?"
"No, he's not worthy. But he's carrying my name and still wants to marry someone else. What a pipe dream!"
"Wangyou, we won't do anything illegal, but we can't just suffer in silence like this. Mom will stand up for you, so don't do anything."
"Mom, I'll do it myself. I've wanted to beat up that family for a long time, but I was too young back then. It's not too late to beat them up now. After we beat up their parents, we'll go to the army base to settle the score with them." Wangyou had already made up her mind in a flash.
"Mom will help you beat him up." Hu Xiulan didn't say anything else. The villagers were actually quite nice, but Wangyou had poison everywhere, both inside and outside her home. It seemed that Liu Dazhu's family hadn't done anything good back then.
"Aunt Hu, Wangyou, let me beat them up for you!" Zhao Gang thought more deeply. Besides, how could he let Wangyou do such rough work as beating people?
"No way, I need to beat him up to vent my anger!"
Wangyou didn't mention one more thing: she suspected there was more to her grandfather's death than met the eye. Her grandfather was an excellent swimmer, so how could he have drowned just because he was saving a seven or eight-year-old child? Even if he had severe cramps, with his abilities, he couldn't have just died like that, without even leaving her a last word.
"Let's go see Grandpa first!" The group chatted amongst themselves, but they hadn't forgotten their business.
When they arrived at her grandfather's grave, Wangyou recounted all her experiences over the years, pulled weeds from the grave, and tidied it up before heading down the mountain.
I don't know when I'll be able to come again.
Then, the group went straight to Liu Dazhu's house, where Liu Dazhu and his family were having dinner.
The porridge on the table was so clear you could see your reflection in it, which suggested that life in the village wasn't easy.
"Hey, eating? Hope you weren't disturbing us!"
"What are you doing here?" Caihua asked, her voice trembling with fear.
"I'll settle the score. I've thought it over and over, and I won't be satisfied until I beat you all up." Wangyou was too lazy to waste any more words and started hitting people directly. Hu Xiulan quickly helped Wangyou, while Zhao Gang and the others held the children and stood there to keep things under control.
"Found him, Liu Dazhu is in the Northwest."
"Let's go find Liu Dazhu and settle the score. There are some things he hasn't forgotten." After beating up Liu Dazhu's family, Wangyou and the others left triumphantly.
The next day, Liu Dazhu's older brother rushed to the county town to call Liu Dazhu. Only then did he take his parents to the hospital.
Upon hearing his elder brother's words, Liu Dazhu, on the other end of the phone, flashed a ruthless glint in his eyes. He would not allow anyone to ruin his promising future.
