Zhu Youcai's wide - toothed grin froze on his face when he saw the Tibetan mastiff behind Zhou Yuehan, which was even taller than him when just standing there.
Zhou Yuedong found out that his younger brother had got into a fight when he saw the wound on his face yesterday. But after hearing from his brother that the other party had apologized to him, he didn't think much about it.
Unexpectedly, these people actually showed up on their way to school, and they came menacingly, obviously trying to block them.
Zhou Yuedong wasn't a fool. Almost instantly, he understood Si Nian's intention of asking them to bring Dahuang to class.
She was trying to... fight fire with fire!
At this moment, he was shocked.
So, did Si Nian already anticipate that the other party wouldn't let it go so easily and that's why she did this?
Not yet reacting, Zhou Yuehan thought it was just a coincidence. Immediately, he nervously hugged the box in his arms and snorted through his nose, "Zhu Youcai, why are you blocking our way?"
He hated Zhu Youcai the most. This guy used to say those unpleasant things.
But his elder brother didn't allow him to fight. Moreover, Zhu Youcai was really annoying and it was said that his family was very rich, so he didn't dare to cause trouble.
But yesterday, this guy even dared to scold his mother!
It was okay to scold him, but scolding his mother was something he couldn't tolerate!
After he punched the guy, Zhou Yuehan felt panicked and scared for a moment.
But when his mother told him that he didn't do anything wrong, he somehow gained a sense of confidence.
Especially when Zhu Youcai apologized to him, he knew that he was no longer the helpless Zhou Yuehan. Now, he was the assertive and fearless Zhou Yuehan.
If Zhu Youcai dared to bully him, he would not only tell the teacher but also his parents.
His parents would definitely avenge him.
So now, Zhou Yuehan was very brave.
Holding the leash of Dahuang and raising his little chin, he wasn't afraid of Zhu Youcai at all.
Naively, he thought that since Zhu Youcai had apologized to him, he definitely wouldn't cause any trouble.
Zhu Youcai's legs went weak at the sight of the big dog. Who could tell him how this little brat Zhou Yuehan managed to raise such a terrifying big dog!
Although he was very scared at first, when he heard Zhou Yuehan's voice, he felt provoked.
Immediately, he straightened his neck and said menacingly, "Zhou Yuehan, don't be too arrogant. You made me lose face yesterday. If you're smart, kneel down and crawl through my legs. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. As you can see, I have more people than you!"
After saying that, he looked back confidently.
But to his surprise, the several senior boys who were just standing behind him had walked away at some point. They were standing far away from him, looking terrified.
Zhu Youcai: "....."
Zhou Yuehan looked at him in bewilderment, thinking that this Zhu Youcai was as stupid as a pig and must have something wrong with his brain.
He walked over with the lunch box in one hand and the leash of Dahuang in the other.
Zhu Youcai thought he was going to set the dog on him and his legs went weak with fear.
He stepped back repeatedly and plopped down on the ground, screaming, "You, don't come near me. Don't come near me!"
Zhou Yuehan: "....."

Si Nian finished making mung bean cakes and went back to catch a little more sleep.
She was woken up by Yaoyao.
This little girl used to stay at home alone. She could sit there and amuse herself for half a day after waking up by herself.
Now, probably because she was hungry, she was sitting pitifully beside the bed, looking at Si Nian. She was holding Si Nian's finger with one hand and holding up an empty baby bottle with the other, babbling in a slurred voice, "Mama~ Mama~~"
Si Nian quickly got up to make milk powder for the child. The little girl immediately hugged the bottle and gulped it down. Her little cheeks puffed out, looking incredibly cute.
Si Nian was in a good mood seeing that the little girl was getting more and more delicate and pink under her care. After the girl finished drinking the milk, she fed her some food. Then, out of boredom, she taught the little girl to talk. When the time was about right, she found a light - pink dress for her to put on.
Then she divided the mung bean cakes she made in the morning into three parts. One part was for Aunt Zhang's family, and one part was for the Lin family.
After making lunch, she packed it up and planned to send the rest to the breeding farm.
Since there were quite a lot, Si Nian carried a bamboo basket, covered it with a gauze, and walked out of the house.
Aunt Zhang was very surprised when she saw Si Nian bringing the mung bean cakes. "Niannian, you're really so skillful. You can even make mung bean cakes. No wonder Shitou kept talking about them when he came back yesterday."
Si Nian smiled and said, "It's very easy for me to make these. There's no real skill involved, but the taste is okay. I packed a box for you to try."
She handed the box of mung bean cakes over.
Aunt Zhang immediately refused, "How can I accept this? There are so many. You should keep them for yourselves. We can't take them."
Shitou got anxious. "Grandma, I want them."
He immediately got a glare from his grandma.
Si Nian said with a smile, "I made several boxes. These things will go bad in a couple of days if you don't eat them. It'll be a waste. So, just take them. I haven't had the chance to thank you for helping me take care of the child all this time."
"And Shitou, if you want to eat anything in the future, just go to your aunt."
Shitou immediately nodded.
Then Si Nian led Yaoyao to the breeding farm. Coincidentally, her elder brother had already gone there to study. She could ask him to take the mung bean cakes home for the family to eat later.
Everyone was having lunch at this time. When they saw Si Nian coming, they immediately greeted her warmly. "Sister - in - law, hello, sister - in - law. Are you bringing lunch for the boss?"
Si Nian nodded with a smile and went over to distribute the mung bean cakes to everyone.
Fortunately, she had made a lot, but there were also many people here, so each person only got one piece to taste.
Everyone curiously picked up the mung bean cakes and exclaimed, "Sister - in - law is amazing. Not only does she cook well, but she can also make pastries. Are city people really this versatile?"
Then someone took a bite. The mung bean cake was sweet, soft, and creamy, melting in the mouth and leaving a fragrant aftertaste!
It was so delicious!
However, everyone was too embarrassed to ask for more. In these days, pastries were luxuries, something that rich families used as gifts.
It was already very kind of the sister - in - law to let them have a taste. They couldn't be too greedy.
When Yu Dong saw Si Nian coming, he quickly walked over, his eyes fixed greedily on the bamboo basket Si Nian was carrying.
Based on his experience during this period, he was sure that there must be something delicious in the basket!
Si Nian handed him a mung bean cake. "Do you want to try? These are freshly made mung bean cakes today."
Yu Dong wasn't polite. He stuffed the whole piece into his mouth. He closed his eyes and savored it for a long time before swallowing it. Then he smacked his lips and said with a look of reluctance, "Sister - in - law, these are so delicious! The boss is so lucky!"
Si Nian smiled and said, "Delicious, right? I'll make more next time and bring them for you."
"Okay~" Yu Dong nodded happily. Then he picked up the little girl and kissed Yaoyao on the face. "Oh, my little baby is wearing a skirt today. You're so beautiful, it's breathtaking! Come on, uncle will take you to see the piglets."
Hearing that she was going to see the piglets, Yaoyao waved her little hands excitedly.
Si Nian didn't stop them. She walked towards the man's office by herself.
The door of the office was open. When Si Nian walked over, she immediately saw that besides Zhou Yueshen, there was another person standing in the office. He was standing in front of Zhou Yueshen, talking about something.
Zhou Yueshen was wearing a military - green vest. He slightly lowered his eyes and looked at the envelope in his hand, listening with a cold expression. There was a window behind him. The sunlight streamed in through the window, stretching his shadow on the ground long and tall.
