Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Old Li Comes to Collect Money

Lu Feng and Fu Cheng didn’t stop along the way. Under the gaze of all the soldiers, they had already run ten laps continuously, but still didn’t stop.

"Are these two people freaks?"

"How can they run ten laps without panting?"

"I finally understand the gap between me and Lu Tuan..."

"There used to be just one Lu Tuan, and now there’s a rookie egg..."

"..."

The veterans wailed; comparing oneself to others can really drive one mad.

Normally they would pant after five or six laps, but these two were fine, ten laps without even panting.

Fu Cheng glanced at Lu Feng, and this kind of exhilarating feeling, he hadn’t experienced in a long, long time.

Didn’t expect that someone could keep up with him, and not be at a disadvantage.

Lu Feng was equally amazed, Fu Cheng’s stamina was far better than what Wang Lu mentioned, this feeling of meeting his match made him exert all his strength.

Seeing Lu Feng speed up, Fu Cheng was unwilling to fall behind and accelerated to catch up.

Their training even alarmed a few leaders, who came to the training ground to watch the two who still hadn’t slowed down.

Liu Hongjun knew that he must recruit this soldier.

Fu Xiaoxiao had no idea Fu Cheng and Lu Feng were making a splash in the army at this time, she took her children leisurely to school.

The morning sun was warm, shining on people like a mother caressing the earth, extremely gentle.

Fu Xiaoxiao was in high spirits, and the two children also wore smiles, playing all the way.

Arriving at Upper River Village, it was just the time for work, villagers gathered with tools to the fields to await work task assignments.

Fu Xiaoxiao appeared at the village entrance holding hands with two children, Xiao Heng immediately saw her and the corner of his mouth was affected by her appearance.

He had already heard from his grandfather that Fu Xiaoxiao brought him medicine and seeds, and his grandfather’s illness had recovered significantly due to the timely medicine brought by Fu Xiaoxiao, though still a bit weak, it was much better compared to a few days ago when he almost coughed to suffocation.

Fu Xiaoxiao happened to see Xu Linlin in the crowd, recalling that night’s alluring scene, Fu Xiaoxiao curiously eyed the man, and saw the village head deftly assigning tasks.

"Xu Linlin, you’ve been doing poorly with your crops and work lately, don’t go down to the fields. You go and cut pig grass!" The man beside the village head suddenly pointed at Xu Linlin, raising an objection.

The villagers nodded in agreement, glanced at Xu Linlin with disdain.

Xu Linlin lowered her head in grievance, eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

"Understood..."

Fu Xiaoxiao listened throughout, somewhat admiring in her heart!

It seemed Xu Linlin was criticized, yet she was actually moved to a lighter task, and no one would protest.

After all, everyone knows Xu Linlin’s uselessness.

"Village head, isn’t cutting pig grass the work of children in the village? Having a fully capable woman take the children’s work, how can she earn work points to eat?" Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Linlin’s smug mouth and said with a smile.

"Exactly! Village head, my Er Niu can also cut pig grass, earn a couple of work points. For someone as big as Xu Zhiqing, isn’t it inappropriate to have her cut pig grass?"

"That’s right! Someone that big, if really needed, she could carry manure, or even shell corn!"

"Let her shell corn instead..."

Once Fu Xiaoxiao started, Aunt Wang and others immediately echoed, winking at Fu Xiaoxiao.

Fu Xiaoxiao smiled and waved at them, pointing to her basket.

Hearing Aunt Wang’s words, the village head glanced at the sullen secretary beside him and waved his hand indifferently. "Then Xu Zhiqing should go and shell corn!"

Xu Linlin raised her head and met Fu Xiaoxiao’s eyes, almost unable to suppress the fire of anger within her eyes.

It’s her again.

Fu Xiaoxiao sneered coldly, don’t think Li Xiang’s business is over, the one who tattled to Li Xiang, she knew without a doubt it was Xu Linlin, really thinks she can’t figure it out?

Dare to tattle and try to harm her, then don’t blame her.

She is not one to be good-natured.

If one doesn’t offend me, I won’t offend them.

Fu Xiaoxiao has never said that she is a coward who wouldn’t fight back when bullied.

Facing Fu Xiaoxiao’s sharp eyes, Xu Linlin nervously lowered her head.

She shouldn’t know it was her who told Li Xiang, right?

Impossible, at that time there was no one else at Li Xiang’s home.

Wouldn’t be, definitely wouldn’t be known.

Xu Linlin nervously bit her fingers, and when she raised her head again, Fu Xiaoxiao had already walked away with Lu Lin and Lu Chen.

Xiao Heng didn’t receive even a glance from Fu Xiaoxiao, but saw the undercurrents between her and Xu Linlin.

Could it be?

Xiao Heng observed Xu Linlin calmly.

What does he not know?

After Fu Xiaoxiao sent Lu Lin to school, she specially went to the office to ask Zhao Qing about Lu Lin’s academic progress.

"Although it’s surprising, Lu Lin’s recent performance has been very good, and he’s also able to keep up with our progress." Zhao Qing praised Fu Xiaoxiao.

Lu Lin smiled slightly, looking at Fu Xiaoxiao.

Fu Xiaoxiao rubbed his head. "Good performance, what do you want? I’ll buy it for you as a gift to celebrate your progress."

Lu Lin shook his head; he already had a lot, lacked nothing. "No need to buy me a gift."

"That’s not right, your progress is a good thing, you should be celebrated for it." Fu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Then... then could I have a diary?" Lu Lin thought for a while, asked shyly.

"Of course," Fu Xiaoxiao agreed readily.

"Thank you, Mrs. Fu." Lu Lin’s lips curled joyfully.

The preparatory bell sounded, Zhao Qing took Lu Lin to class, Fu Xiaoxiao left the school with Lu Chen.

After walking a few steps, Fu Xiaoxiao was stopped by an old man.

"Anything wrong?" Fu Xiaoxiao didn’t recognize the old man, asked softly.

"You made my Old Li’s family fall apart, and you ask who am I?" Old Li glared at Fu Xiaoxiao, spreading his hand at her. "Compensation, you sent my wife to prison, caused my son to lose his lifeline, cut off my Li family’s descendants, you need to take responsibility for this."

"Compensation? What has their trouble got to do with me?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked with amusement. "Do you dare to let the village head come and judge? Aunt Li was caught stealing from my house and sent to prison, your son tried to bully me, plotting harm, deserved such an end, this is your Li family’s retribution, also the result of your inaction."

"What did you say?" Old Li glared fiercely at Fu Xiaoxiao.

"Do I need to say it again? If you had the ability, your Li family wouldn’t be living so impoverished, if you had properly disciplined your son, he wouldn’t be idling like you. As a husband and father, if you could take some responsibility, your Li family wouldn’t be like this!" Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Old Li and sneered coldly.

"If children are not taught properly, it is the father’s fault, understand? Everything is your responsibility." Fu Xiaoxiao’s words made Old Li’s face turn red.
