Chapter 161

Chen Dongzhi sent her back. On the way, Jiang Qin followed her from a distance. After having a meal, he also realized that Sister Ruyi had a special relationship with this man.

Zhong Ruyi tilted her head and looked at him, "Fighting is hard, right?"

She suddenly remembered his body that she saw when fishing in the village years ago. It was covered with scars, which seemed to have been formed many years ago.

Chen Dongzhi wanted to say it wasn't hard, but when he turned around and saw her distressed look, he said, "It was a bit hard. Many people died. I was lucky to survive."

He glanced back casually and saw that Jiang Qin's eyes were not looking in his direction. He pretended to rub Zhong Ruyi's hand with the back of his hand accidentally. His heart was lifted, but when he saw that she had no reaction, he let it go.

"I found a master in my first year, and he taught me a lot. I learned most of my Kung Fu from him. Later, the general saw that my Kung Fu was pretty good, so he transferred me to his side, and he also started to teach me."

He looked at Zhong Ruyi's expression and saw that she was listening very seriously, so he continued, "Once he was seriously injured. At that time he said that there was still a lot he hadn't taught me yet. We all thought he might not make it, but God still favored us. After the general recovered from his injury, he led us to win a battle. Although there were casualties, we finally drove the enemy away."

He glossed over some of the more bloody and frightening details and only mentioned them briefly.

Zhong Ruyi frowned with distress, "Last time I saw you, you still had a lot of scars on your body. It must have been very painful when you were injured, right?"

At first he was very happy to see that she felt sorry for him, but when he saw how miserable she was, he couldn't bear to let her go.

He shook his head. "Maybe it hurts too much, so I don't feel anything. But when the flesh grows back it's very itchy, and I always can't help but want to reach out and scratch it."

Jiang Qin, who was following behind, could occasionally hear a word or two. He didn't expect that this tall man actually came from the battlefield. He thought that he must be very powerful, after all, he was someone who had been to the battlefield. He wondered if the man was willing to teach him martial arts.

If he learned it, next time those uncles came to visit him, he would beat them so badly that even his mother wouldn't be able to recognize them.

When Zhong Ruyi arrived home, she happened to see a few people standing at her door. She walked closer to take a look.

It turned out to be my aunt who came during the Chinese New Year.

When Zhong Mei saw her coming back, she immediately forced a smile on her face. She pulled her son's clothes and said, "Go up and say hello to your cousin."

"......" Zhong Ruyi.

The door was closed. She knew at a glance that Mr. Zhong didn't want her, his aunt, to go in, so they were waiting at the door. Unexpectedly, they met her just coming back.

Zhang Mingzhu, who came with them, looked at the young man with her cousin with shining eyes. Last time, she was already struck by his handsomeness just by a glimpse of his profile. This time, with such a close contact, she was even more moved.

But mother has always hoped that she would marry a man from the town, and she certainly doesn't want her to marry a man from the village. But as long as he can support herself, mother should agree, right?

Chen Dongzhi didn't notice at all that someone was looking at him lovingly. Even if he saw it, he wouldn't understand it, even though he thought she was rolling her eyes last time.

His attention was only on the man who was talking to Ruyi with a playful smile on his face. Seeing him talking to Ruyi in such a smooth manner, he really wanted to slap him in the face, but he was afraid that Ruyi would think he was too rude, so he endured it.

At this moment, his arm was touched by someone. He looked up and saw an unfamiliar woman rolling her eyes at him.

"......"Chen Dongzhi.

He tried to hold it back, but couldn't help it. He pulled Zhong Ruyi's sleeve and said a little aggrievedly, "This person rolled his eyes at me again."

Zhong Ruyi was already impatient to deal with these shameless relatives, and when she heard Chen Dongzhi's words, she looked at the woman he was talking about.

She is her aunt's daughter, two years older than her. According to seniority, she should call her cousin, but she did not take the initiative to do so.

Her father said that you don't need to pay attention to these people. If you show them a little kindness, they will take advantage of you. Don't cause trouble for yourself.

She could only comfort Chen Dongzhi, "Maybe she just had an eye cramp and didn't mean it. Please forgive her."

Zhang Mingzhu had been flirting for a long time, but all her glances were to a blind man.

As a result, this silly cousin actually dared to say that she had an eye cramp, but she couldn't get angry because the man she liked was present.

I could only force a smile and said, "The wind is really strong today. It hurts my eyes a little bit."

After saying this, she waited for the man to show concern for her, but she waited and waited and no concern came. Instead, she saw the two of them behaving in an ambiguous manner.

Her heart sank. This silly cousin was actually so intimate with a man in public. If someone saw her, wouldn't her reputation be ruined?

As her cousin, she has the obligation to teach her cousin what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are.

She coughed twice, trying to attract their attention, but they didn't even look at her.

Zhang Mingzhu was so angry that she almost died. Her mother had introduced her to so many families in the town, but she was the only one who didn't like anyone. No one rejected her.

Zhong Ruyi didn't care about this so-called cousin, "Brother Dongzhi, didn't you say you had something to do? Go back first, I'll come find you when I'm free."

Chen Dongzhi glanced at Zhong Mei and Zhang Mingcong who were watching him covetously. He felt a little annoyed. These people were really annoying.

As far as he knew, they had come no less than five times since the beginning of the year. They wanted to ask for the Zhong family's braised food recipe. If he kept dragging his feet and not giving it to them, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not do something annoying.

His eyes darkened. It seemed that he had to find a way to prevent them from coming.

"Then I'll go first. Come find me tomorrow and I'll take you up the mountain to collect honey."

Zhong Ruyi nodded, watched him leave, turned around and wanted to push open the gate to go in. She didn't want to pay attention to Zhong Mei and the others.

Zhong Mei saw that they had been waiting here for a long time, and his father was unwilling to let them in. She gritted her teeth and pushed her son, "Hurry up! Follow your cousin and squeeze in!"

Zhong Ruyi didn't expect them to be so shameless. She felt a little pain from being bumped on the back. She turned around and saw Zhang Mingcong smiling at her ingratiatingly. "Cousin, can you let us in and sit for a while? We came all the way here, you can't possibly not even give us a cup of tea, right?"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab her wrist. Zhong Ruyi tried to pull it back, but couldn't. Jiang Qin had already been pushed to the back by them.

She tried to hold back but couldn't, so she stretched out her other hand and slapped Zhang Mingcong in the face.

Zhang Mingcong was stunned.

Zhong Mei, who was still pulling Jiang Qin, was also stunned. Zhang Mingzhu, who was standing aside and laughing at Zhong Ruyi being harassed by her brother, was also stunned.

It took Zhong Mei a long time to react, and she wanted to push Zhong Ruyi, "Why are you hitting people? Is this what your mother taught you? You have no manners at all!"

Zhong Ruyi showed no mercy when she brought the matter to her mother. She slapped Zhong Mei in the face and said coldly, "Watch your mouth! If you still want to walk out of Xinghua Village standing, I advise you not to touch me."

The noise at the door soon attracted the attention of everyone in the house. Li Guihua woke up from a nap and heard someone arguing at the door. She was very impatient, thinking that it was Zhong Xiaogu, who wanted to come over for lunch at noon but was kicked out, who had caused trouble again.

When he opened the door and looked out, he saw his little sister surrounded by the three of them, mother and son.

Li Guihua screamed, "What are you doing? Bullying people in front of our Zhong family?!"

After saying that, he picked up the broom behind the door and swept towards the three people.

Her scream quickly attracted the attention of other members of the Zhong family. Soon, the eldest son and the third son of the Zhong family ran out of the house, and Zhong's father also came out in his slippers.

Seeing this scene, he was so angry that he picked up a wooden stick in the yard and rushed forward.

The eldest and third Zhong brothers stepped forward to subdue Zhang Mingcong and beat him up, while Zhong Mei was chased and beaten by Li Guihua with a broom.
