CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28: IF YOU HIT THEM BOTH, YOU CAN’T HIT ME

Li Erniu’s little face crumpled: "Big brother, boo hoo hoo, they’re hitting me."

As he spoke, he pointed at the two little brothers standing nearby.

Li Daniu clenched his fist with a cracking sound, giving the two little brothers a cold smile: "So it’s you two little punks bullying my brother?"

The two little brothers looked up at the tall, muscular man who was several heads taller than them and whose arms were thicker than their thighs, a bead of cold sweat slowly slid down their foreheads.

With faces pleading for help, they looked back at Su Xiaoxiao behind them: "Third sister, save us."

Li Daniu snorted coldly at the words: "Even if you call the heavens now, it won’t help. Are you coming over yourself or should I come over?"

As he spoke, he raised his gaze to the people standing behind the two little brothers, and then the fierceness on his face instantly froze.

This girl... is really pretty.

Then, under the eager eyes of the crowd, he took three steps that were more like two and a half to stand in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao swallowed dryly. In these times when it’s hard to get enough to eat or wear, how could this big guy grow like this?

Can’t beat him, simply can’t.

The two little brothers stepped back in unison, hiding behind Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Having these two brothers must be her blessing from eight lifetimes.

Keeping in mind the principle of saving herself rather than sacrificing herself, Su Xiaoxiao decisively stepped aside: "This big brother, you can hit them both, but you can’t hit me, right?"

The two little brothers who were hoping for their third sister to bravely defend them: "..."

This sibling bond is as fragile as paper and has just been shattered.

Li Daniu met her bright eyes, a suspicious blush rose on his face, and just as he was about to speak, an indescribable tingling spread from his waist to his entire body.

The next moment, he crashed to the ground heavily, his sturdy frame causing the ground to tremble three times.

Su Xiaoxiao calmly blew on the wolf-repelling device in her hand, squatted down and arrogantly slapped the grounded Li Daniu: "Stay away from me next time you see me."

The crowd, who had been expecting to see the little girl getting beaten, was stunned into silence by the huge reversal before their eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao stood up and clapped her hands as if dusting nonexistent dirt off, calmly speaking to the two dumbfounded little brothers: "What are you dawdling for? Let’s go home."

The two little brothers looked at her with faces full of admiration: "Third sister, you’re so amazing."

Li Erniu shouted as he rushed over: "Big brother... boo hoo hoo, big brother, are you okay?"

Li Daniu extended a trembling Erlang’s hand, but his lips were a bit numb from the electric shock just now: "You... you wait..."

Tsk, even in this state he still has the energy to act tough?

Su Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly, quickly dragging the two little brothers away on the left and right.

The effect of the electric shock won’t last long, if they don’t leave now, soon they’ll be the ones getting beaten up.

Dragging the two little brothers, the three of them ran all the way to the door of their home, panting.

Su Jianwu wondered: "Third sister, you’re this amazing, so why are we still running?"

Su Jianwen, his eyes bright, also looked at her: "Third sister, that move just now was awesome, can you teach us?"

Su Xiaoxiao kicked each of them on the butt: "Focus on your studies, if you dare to cause trouble outside again, watch how I’ll deal with you."

When the three of them got home, Xu Zhaodi had already prepared the meal.

Stir-fried cabbage without a hint of oil, along with the same old sorghum flour steamed buns, served with spinach soup without eggs.

The three of them looked longingly at the dish and soup on the table, their expressions full of reluctance.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, Xu Zhaodi was a good girl, hardworking and capable, her only flaw was her family’s thriftiness inherited from her mother.

This meal of thin soup was without a hint of oil; she really couldn’t swallow it.

Just then, Liu Cuilan brought out a plate of food from the kitchen.

The three of them immediately brightened their eyes, but upon seeing the plate of plain fried shredded radish, they quickly became dispirited again.

Su Jianwu puckered his lips: "Mom, eating nothing but greens every day makes me feel like I’m about to turn into a rabbit."

Su Jianwen also chimed in: "Mom, we really can’t eat this thin soup anymore, can we have some meat instead?"

Liu Cuilan placed the plate on the table: "If you don’t eat, then you go hungry."

With just one sentence, the two little brothers immediately lowered their heads to eat, each looking more grievances.

Su Xiaoxiao remembered the Mugwort in the yard and instantly had an idea, she smiled at them: "Want to eat meat?"

The two little brothers immediately nodded: "You two pick all the leaves from the Mugwort in the yard, and you’ll get as much meat as you want."

She’s not good at working, but these two little brothers are skilled workers.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have brought her half a yard full of Mugwort in one go.

Upon hearing this, the two little brothers immediately brightened their eyes. Each shoved a steamed bun into their mouths before dashing into the yard to get started right away.

Their eagerness gave Su Xiaoxiao a sense of being a heartless boss exploiting child laborers.

With her promise, the half-yard of Mugwort she had been worried about was all turned into bags and bags full of Mugwort leaves by the next afternoon.

Their efficiency made Su Xiaoxiao feel inferior.

Facing the two little brothers’ expectant eyes, Su Xiaoxiao promised repeatedly that she would let them eat meat that night.

Having gained her promise, the two happily headed to school.

After sending off the boys, Su Xiaoxiao was about to find Zhang Dongmei to return some documents when a tall, strong figure suddenly appeared before her.

It was Li Daniu, whom she had encountered last time.

Su Xiaoxiao’s first instinct was to run away. Last time, she had tricked him with her wolf-repelling device, and this time, even if he were a fool, he wouldn’t fall for it again.

Faced with such a massive difference in strength, she felt her only option was to run.

Just as she was about to flee, a distinctly loud voice rang in her ears.

"Comrade Su, what a coincidence."

Su Xiaoxiao stiffly turned her head: "What a coincidence."

Since the first encounter with Su Xiaoxiao, Li Daniu had been infatuated, and he actively took on the task of sending his little brother to school in hopes of seeing the girl he loved once more.

Unexpectedly, he really did run into her again.

Seeing his beloved right in front of him, his face reddened, and he shyly lowered his head. Just as he was about to say something, that familiar tingling spread from his waist to his limbs.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the huge guy twitching on the ground and marveled, indeed there are fools who fall for the same trick twice.

The despondent Li Daniu lying on the ground: He just wanted to chat with the girl he loves, why is it so hard?

Su Xiaoxiao took her documents and sat on the bus to go to the city.

There’s no choice; in this era, unlike the modern world, printing shops are not everywhere.

The only way to copy documents was to go to the limited number of print-shops, which were generally found in cities.

She took a cart to the town and then a bus from there to the city.

Since arriving in this world, she had taken the bus multiple times but still couldn’t get used to it.

Mainly because it was so damn crowded.

When she finally squeezed onto the bus with an expression of resignation, she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder from behind.
