Chapter 301: Ruthless And Wild
Fu Qingxuan looked at the girl who had been staying quiet and had more admiration for her. He thought, ‘Wow! This gentle and soft-tempered girl really is meanie’s sister. She doesn’t make a sound, but when she does, she shocks everyone!’
This was easy to say, but it was quite heartbreaking to hear.
Shen Tang’s words had a huge impact.
Those people who were making a fuss about the Spring Festival couplet instantly changed their expressions.
Most people knew that they were in the wrong. When there were a lot of people making a fuss, they rode along since no one would notice them when everyone else was talking. Once they saw that things were getting out of control, they slipped away quietly.
However, a few scoundrels were self-righteous and foul-mouthed.
“It’s just a couplet, if you don’t want to give it, you don’t have to curse us like that!”
“You guys can’t afford it?”
“What the hell! You think that your family is rich and can bully us with your power. What’s so great about money? Can you look down on people just because you have money? Can you scold people?”
…
“My sister didn’t curse people,” Shen Xi suddenly said. Her eyes were as cold as a knife as she swept a sidelong glance at them as she exuded a murderous aura. “Have you digested the shit you ate this morning?”
If it was not for Old Shen, she would not have written the Spring Festival couplets and would have asked them to get lost.
“You little brat! What’s so great about you? You’re just a dancer. You really think you’re a big shot, huh? It’s an honor for you that we want your couplet.”
“Who are you scolding? The Shen family’s really something!”
“I finally witnessed what it means to be arrogant. We poor people aren’t worthy to talk to them. Whatever, who cares!”
Seeing that they could no longer take advantage of the Shen family, they made a scene. A few insatiable scoundrels also became angry and cursed at the Shen family. They did not reflect on themselves and blamed everything on others.
Initially, Shen Zhangqing thought that they were all from his hometown, so they came to him because they looked up to him. Since he did not come back often, he had to respect them. After all, his elder brother’s family still lived here. If he offended the neighbors, they would ostracize his brother’s family and would make things difficult for them.
However, these people were angry just because they could not get the couplets. When Shen Zhangqing heard them scolding his daughter, he could not hold back his temper and took a hoe from the yard to threaten the scoundrels. “Get out! Get the hell out of my house! If you dare to say one more word, I’ll smash you!”
Both Shen Feng and Fu Qingxuan also could not take it anymore.
Fu Qingxuan raised a shovel and sneered, “Leave now!”
Shen Feng took a sledgehammer and slammed it to the ground. The concrete floor cracked with a loud crash before he let out a tyrannical roar. “Get lost!”
The few scoundrels who led the commotion saw that they could not win this fight and glanced at each other. They pointed at the Shen family and cursed again before fleeing with tails between their legs.
Shen Xi remembered each of their faces. Her eyes turned dark.
After the few troublemaking scoundrels ran off, many people came to comfort Shen Zhangqing and told him not to see eye to eye with them. They were merely some gangsters in town that had no proper jobs. There was no need for educated people to get angry with those dogs.
Some neighbors who had a good relationship with the Shen family helped to clean things up, wiped the table, and swept the garbage.
Shen Xi and the others were packing up their stationery.
Fu Qingxuan’s eyes were cold and sullen as he asked Shen Feng, “Do you know those thugs?”
Shen Feng nodded and smirked coldly. “I can still recognize them even if they turn to dust.”
Those gangsters in town were not good people. Two of them were involved in armed robbery and were prisoned several years for it. They were just released not too long ago.
That night, after dinner.
Fu Qingxuan excused himself and asked Shen Feng to take him out for a walk because he wanted to experience the local customs.
Shen Feng agreed to it very quickly, so the two of them left.
Shen Xi leaned against the door frame lazily and watched their backs, then shouted, “Hey!”
Fu Qingxuan turned around. “Why are you following me?”
Shen Xi raised her eyebrows. She had already figured out what the boys were up to. “Why don’t you take me with you?”
Shen Feng and Fu Qingxuan glanced at each other and were in a rare agreement. “You’re a girl, so you should stay at home. We’ll take care of it.”
…
A girl.
Shen Feng later wanted to retract this sentence.
He was wrong.
Completely wrong.
Shen Feng looked down at the ground. Never in his dreams could he even imagine that in just two years of not seeing his lovely and kind sister, she turned so fierce. He just watched as she held a stick to thrash the person whose head was in a sack. Her actions were ruthless and wild.
As the youngest medical genius in the world, Fu Qingxuan knew human anatomy by heart. He knew where all the tendons, veins, bones, and internal organs were, more than Shen Feng did. Thus, he knew that Shen Xi’s beating intricately avoided all the fatal points.
Once Shen Xi had her fun, she kicked the half-dead person and flung the stick over her shoulder. This posture was quite gangly and cool. When she smiled, she looked so wild. “Next!”
Shen Feng wanted to cry and grabbed Fu Qingxuan. He was not willing to believe his eyes. “Who is she? My sister can’t be this wild! Give me back my lovely sister!”
Fu Qingxuan avoided his touch with disdain. He was a clean freak and did not like others touching him. The corners of his lips hooked up slightly into a contented arc. “How can she protect herself if she’s not strong?”
He thought that it was good for Shen Xi to be like this, very cute and wild. Meanie should have a mean girl look.
Even the closest people could not guarantee her safety all the time or protect her from any harm for her whole life. Most of the time, she would have to face difficulties alone. She could only navigate the difficult road ahead fearlessly if she was strong enough.
Shen Feng was a well-known bully in town. He was a bully in school too. He was so tough that some street gangs even tried to recruit him and promised to make him their leader, but he refused.
No matter what, Old Shen’s family would never be involved in shady activities.
Shen Feng knew everything about his town. He knew all the locations of the surveillance cameras, where had the least people, and the best time to make a move. He was a living map. If they wanted to kill someone, they could certainly pull it off without leaving any traces.
The three of them fought their way and rampaged the town to teach those scoundrels from that afternoon a lesson. In order to not arouse suspicion, they took care of all the gangsters who terrorized the village.
It was already dawn the next day by the time they were done.
The town was quiet. The red lanterns on every door and roadside were very festive. Occasionally, there were sounds of fireworks and firecrackers and barking dogs.
