"Uncle, I know everything. But how could that little girl have any money?"
"I originally thought that girl didn't have any money, and that sports car was either rented or borrowed from a friend. But now it seems that might not be the case. But how did this girl earn the money? It doesn't make sense!"
"Uncle, if you ask me, all the ways I know are in the criminal law. My friends in the city all say that there's no clean way to make money quickly."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that girl is also involved in the underworld?"
"Definitely not. With her small arms and legs, what underworld could she get involved in? She'd probably just get taken advantage of."
"Hey, Uncle, with that girl's looks, it's really possible that some rich guy took a fancy to her. I suspect that car was given to her by her sugar daddy."
Wang Degui slapped his thigh. "We're on the same page! There have been college students from our village before, but how many of them could make money like her? Fortunately, our Wang family didn't marry her in. Otherwise, the family's reputation would be ruined, and my son might not even know he was being cuckolded."
Cao Wang stuffed a big bite of the pancake into his mouth and said, "Who cares, Uncle. Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that the villagers won't dare to lease their land to her again!"
Wang Degui nodded. "I trust your work. But it seems that girl's friend is a police officer. You need to be careful about that."
Cao Wang said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? When I was hanging out in the underworld outside, I wasn't afraid of the police. If that girl knows what's good for her, she'd better leave early. Otherwise, I'll make her pay!"
"..........."
On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the village was bustling with activity.
Every household got up early, started boiling the paste, and then pasted bright red new couplets on their front doors. It was a scene of joy and celebration.
Liu Yutong and Gao Min also happily helped their grandparents paste the couplets.
Meanwhile,
Cao Wang led a few lackeys, carrying an oil bucket, and started "delivering warmth" from house to house in the village.
They specifically targeted the villagers who had chosen to lease their land to Liu Yutong. They splashed red paint on their houses and even tore off the couplets they had just pasted.
The villagers were angry but dared not say a word.
Cao Wang even boasted arrogantly, "Whoever leases their land to Liu Yutong is against me!"
Moreover, he fabricated extremely vicious and vulgar rumors, saying that Liu Yutong was selling her body and had hooked up with a rich man. Otherwise, how could a student like her earn so much money and drive a sports car?
In fact, not everyone in the village hadn't thought about this possibility before.
It was a bit better for outsiders, but especially those relatives had secretly gossiped about it countless times.
As the saying goes, those who dislike your poverty may not be your close relatives, but those who are afraid of your wealth must be the ones closer to you.
The closer the relatives are, the harder it is for them to accept that you suddenly make a lot of money and become richer than them.
This is human nature, but no one has ever said it openly.
Now that Cao Wang had made such a fuss, it was like igniting the latent jealousy in everyone's hearts. More and more people were talking about it, and the rumors became more and more outrageous.
Liu Yutong and Gao Min had just finished pasting the last couplet.
Their grandparents were cooking in the kitchen.
Aunt Li, the neighbor next door, rushed over in a panic.
"Girl Yutong! It's bad! That damned Cao Wang... He's leading people to splash red paint all over the village. He's specifically targeting the families that leased their land to you. He even tore off their couplets and said that... that you're kept by a rich man..."
Before Aunt Li could finish speaking, Liu Yutong and Gao Min instantly understood what she meant.
Especially Liu Yutong, the smile on her face instantly froze, and her fingers holding the paste bowl tightened suddenly.
Gao Min was also very angry and said angrily, "Spreading rumors is illegal. I'll go find him!"
Before she could even step out of the yard, Cao Wang swaggered over with a few hooligans from the village, carrying a bucket.
"Yo, isn't this the college student from our village? And this police officer friend from the city? Busy on Chinese New Year's Eve, aren't you?"
Liu Yutong's face was cold. She put down the paste bowl, walked up to him, and asked coldly, "What have you been doing in the village on this New Year's Eve?"
"What am I doing?"
Cao Wang pointed at the red paint in the bucket with his brush. "I'm here to bring some festivity to the villagers! It's Chinese New Year, after all. Red is so auspicious! By the way, I'm giving some people a reminder. Don't think you can show off in the village just because you've got some money from a man."
Then, he looked at the red Ferrari in the yard. "I have to say this car is quite nice. Did a rich guy in the city lend it to you? Driving a sports car and hooking up with a rich man, you've fooled all the fools in the village. Do you really think you're some kind of golden phoenix? I spit on you!"
"Everyone, take a good look. A young girl who's still in school, where did she get so much money? Huh?! Driving a sports car and even being the first one to lease our village's land? Do you believe it? I've been in the southern cities for so many years, and I've never seen anything so outrageous! Unless she's making money lying down, that's really fast! Hahaha!"
The hooligans behind Cao Wang also burst into laughter.
"That's right! That's right!"
"Stop pretending to be so pure!"
"Damn it, I'm broke. Otherwise, I'd hire one too."
"Hey, Sister Yutong, do you support daily payment? If so, I might consider giving you some business."
"Hahaha..."
Gao Min was so angry that her face turned bright red. She stepped forward and warned, "I'm warning you. If any of you dare to talk nonsense and spread rumors again, I'll arrest you for slander right away!"
"Arrest me?"
Cao Wang seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He exaggeratedly clutched his stomach and said, "Oh, I'm so scared! Police officer, do you think this is your city? Who are you trying to scare with the law? When I was out in the world, you were still wearing diapers! Let me tell you, in our village, I am the law! No one can do anything to me!"
He dared to be so arrogant mainly because of his past experiences.
After all, he had stabbed someone in the village back then, and nothing happened to him when he came back.
The guy he stabbed even didn't dare to call the police when he knew Cao Wang was back.
He had also been involved in the underworld in the south. Now, after returning, he was not only the big shot in Beilin Town but also a bit well - known in Wushui County. He was doing pretty well, so how could he be afraid of a female police officer?
"If you two know what's good for you, get out of here right away! Don't be an eyesore in the village, and don't even think about leasing the land. Otherwise, I'll make sure you don't have a good..."
Before he could finish saying "time", suddenly, Liu Yutong made the first move.
Instead of backing off, she suddenly rushed forward. In an instant when Cao Wang was completely off - guard, she grabbed his right wrist with both hands and then gave it a sudden twist!
"Ah!!!"
Cao Wang felt a sharp pain in his wrist. Instantly, his body went weak. The red paint bucket he was holding clanged to the ground, and the red paint splashed on his trouser leg.
Just as he was about to fight back after regaining his senses, Gao Min also moved.
She took a big step forward, grabbed his other arm, then yanked it down hard while simultaneously ramming her right knee into Cao Wang's abdomen.
Finally, they both kicked him at the same time.
"Ah!!!"
Cao Wang let out another scream and fell to the ground. Especially, his dislocated arm made him roll on the ground in pain.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. The few hooligans behind Cao Wang were stunned.
Their boss usually swaggered around the village. How could he be knocked down by two young girls in just one encounter?
When they finally came to their senses and roared, trying to rush forward to help,
Gao Min and Liu Yutong each used a beautiful spinning side - kick to kick the two hooligans at the front directly into the air. They fell heavily to the ground.
Their movements were almost in sync, looking extremely cool!
After this show of force, the others didn't dare to step forward anymore.
Liu Yutong ignored them and walked up to Cao Wang. She dragged him like a dead dog to the pool of red paint.
Cao Wang's arms were dislocated, so he couldn't resist at all.
He never thought these two young girls would be so good at fighting.
Of course, it was mainly because he underestimated them. From the very beginning, he didn't take them seriously, which was why he got into such a big mess.
"I'm warning you, call an ambulance for me right away. Otherwise, when I get better, I won't let you off."
Even at this moment, Cao Wang was still being tough - mouthed.
Slap! Slap!
Liu Yutong slapped him hard twice.
"You dare to hit me?"
Slap! Slap!
This time, it was Gao Min who slapped him.
"You, a police officer, are also hitting people. I'm going to call the police!"
Slap! Slap!
This time, they both slapped him, one on each side.
"You... You're ganging up on me!"
Slap! Slap!
"I'll kill you, damn it!"
Slap! Slap!
"Don't... Don't hit me anymore! Ladies! I was wrong! I admit I was wrong, okay?"
Slap! Slap!
"Why are you still hitting me even though I've admitted my mistake?!" Cao Wang cried.
"My hand slipped," Liu Yutong explained.
"......."
Liu Yutong stood up and looked down at him condescendingly. "Cao Wang, I'm giving you guys an hour. Lick up every bit of the red paint you splashed on that door today! This is not a negotiation!"
