"Do you know how I deal with people who disrespect teachers and don't care for classmates?"
As Su Xiaotian asked this, her smile remained bright and radiant, momentarily captivating everyone.
Almost everyone, including Feng Xiangyu, was stunned.
Then they heard Su Xiaotian continue, "People like that, just beat them up!"
"If one beating isn't enough, then beat them again!"
"If that's still not enough, keep beating them until they submit!"
"Classmate Feng Xiangyu, do you think I'm making sense?"
An angelic face spoke words like a demon.
This made everyone disbelieve what they were hearing. Many onlookers had their mouths agape, unable to close them.
Feng Xiangyu was burly and strong; when he spoke threatening words, no one found it strange.
Su Xiaotian was just a little girl, about ten years old, with a soft and cute appearance, looking like she hadn't grown up yet.
By all accounts, she shouldn't be the one doing the hitting; she should be the one getting hit.
"You've got guts!" Feng Xiangyu sneered after recovering.
He didn't usually hit girls, but that was on the condition that the girl knew her place.
This one clearly didn't.
Since she didn't know her place, as the little girl said, a beating would suffice!
"You're right, one beating is enough, if not two!" Feng Xiangyu clenched his fists, preparing to strike.
Han Liangping, seeing the tense situation, quickly moved to intervene.
He couldn't afford to offend Feng Xiangyu, but he also couldn't afford to offend this little girl named Su Xiaotian!
The principal had repeatedly mentioned that Minister Chen stood behind her.
Minister Chen should still be in the principal's office right now. If a fight broke out here, how would he explain it?
"You're all classmates, please don't let this ruin your harmony!"
Han Liangping still wanted to maintain a semblance of peace.
But unfortunately, neither of them was the type to back down.
"You said that, what's your name? Your Grandpa Feng doesn't hit nameless people!"
Su Xiaotian looked at this chuunibyo teenager and didn't even want to speak.
Grandpa Feng?
Whose grandfather was he trying to be? He should at least see if he was worthy!
"My name is Su Xiaotian. How about we go outside and spar?" Su Xiaotian directly proposed, showing no stage fright.
Sparring to see her own capabilities!
She would treat this person as a sparring partner.
Feng Xiangyu hadn't expected a little girl, still wet behind the ears, to dare to directly challenge him to a spar.
Spar?
He should see what kind of strength that small frame could muster.
"If you lose, or if I hurt you badly, you're not allowed to cry!" Feng Xiangyu didn't object.
He wouldn't be polite to anyone who dared to provoke him, regardless of gender.
Su Xiaotian also wanted to solve the problem once and for all.
Even though the school seemed fine on the surface, who knew how many people were waiting for an opportunity.
There were dozens, if not hundreds, of students like Feng Xiangyu in the school.
If she was constantly being disturbed, she wouldn't be able to study peacefully at school.
Su Xiaotian always felt that time was precious and should not be wasted.
Han Liangping was so anxious he was sweating. What was this all about?
"You absolutely cannot fight, you are classmates. It's the first day of school, why bother?" Han Liangping said earnestly.
"Teacher Han, please wait a moment, we're going to spar," Su Xiaotian said proactively to Han Liangping.
After speaking, she even added, "Teacher Han, don't worry, I'll stop at an appropriate point, I definitely won't cripple anyone!"
Han Liangping was instantly speechless. Why did this little girl have the confidence to say such things?
These children were really difficult to manage. It was one thing for boys to fight, but for girls to do so as well.
She didn't even have the strength to cry anymore!
But thinking that Su Xiaotian was Minister Chen's niece, and recalling the rumors in the city that Minister Chen was a master, he actually started to believe that Su Xiaotian's words must have some substance. Perhaps the little girl could defeat Feng Xiangyu.
Although he believed Su Xiaotian had abilities, Han Liangping still quietly asked a student he knew to fetch the principal.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaotian and Feng Xiangyu reached an agreement that the classroom was too small to properly engage in combat.
They agreed to go directly to the sports field.
News of such an incident in the first year spread quickly.
By the time they reached the sports field, many people had already gathered.
Many of them knew Feng Xiangyu and knew that he was like a tyrant.
Not only in the first year, but even some in high school had been bullied by Feng Xiangyu.
When Feng Xiangyu arranged a fight, people would naturally come to watch.
But when everyone saw that the person standing opposite was actually a little girl, they instantly doubted their own eyes.
They must have misread it, surely they had misread it.
Feng Xiangyu was burly and strong, and he also knew some martial arts. If he attacked with all his might, even if he didn't kill, he would injure someone.
Even ordinary male classmates were at a disadvantage when facing Feng Xiangyu.
Where did this little girl get the confidence to fight Feng Xiangyu?
"Let's begin!" Su Xiaotian said with a bright smile, ignoring the surrounding crowd.
She didn't look like she was about to fight at all.
Feng Xiangyu also didn't expect Su Xiaotian to be truly fearless. He thought the little girl would be scared once they reached the sports field!
Could it be that she actually knew a thing or two?
Being provoked by a little girl was truly embarrassing!
If he couldn't beat this little girl today, he wouldn't be Feng Xiangyu.
Feng Xiangyu interlocked his fists, cracked his knuckles, and sneered at Su Xiaotian.
When Su Xiaotian's other brothers arrived, they saw Su Xiaotian looking so confident.
The brothers exchanged glances and said nothing.
They just secretly gathered their strength, ready to rush forward at any moment.
Immediately after, everyone saw Feng Xiangyu charge towards Su Xiaotian.
His clenched fist was aimed directly at Su Xiaotian's face.
Some timid girls couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes in fear.
Would the little girl's head be smashed with that punch?
The disparity in strength was too great, the little girl was doomed!
Just as everyone thought Su Xiaotian was bound to suffer a great loss, they heard a muffled grunt from Feng Xiangyu.
Those who hadn't dared to look heard the sound and were momentarily stunned!
What was going on?
Why wasn't it the little girl Su Xiaotian who was crying out in pain?
They immediately looked up. In the center of the field, Su Xiaotian stood perfectly fine, and Feng Xiangyu was also standing fine.
However, what were those punches and kicks landing on Feng Xiangyu?
Those punches and kicks looked light, but with each one, what was with Feng Xiangyu's expression?
Was it painful?
Yes, Feng Xiangyu was in so much pain that he could barely speak.
He deeply felt that he had kicked an iron plate, and this soft little girl was playing the pig to eat the tiger.
Clearly, she was using enough force.
Even with Feng Xiangyu's some skill, after dodging and weaving, he almost fell to the ground.
Feng Xiangyu looked at Su Xiaotian in disbelief. He couldn't believe Su Xiaotian could defeat him.
It must be that he was careless and had underestimated her.
"You cheated!" Feng Xiangyu roared hysterically.
Su Xiaotian retracted her fists and legs, standing leisurely to watch Feng Xiangyu.
"Then shall we start over?" Su Xiaotian asked provocatively.
Feng Xiangyu was not a fool like Shen Feiwen. He truly possessed some fighting skills, which made Su Xiaotian look at him with new eyes!
"Continue fighting!" Feng Xiangyu said through gritted teeth.
If he stopped now, it would be admitting defeat, which would be even more humiliating!
The two immediately started fighting again, but everyone was surprised to find that this was not an evenly matched fight.
In fact, it was Su Xiaotian's one-sided dominance!
With each exchange, everyone was even more surprised to find that Su Xiaotian didn't seem to be using her full strength.
How to put it? It was like she was playing with Feng Xiangyu like a cat playing with a mouse.
Feng Xiangyu himself noticed this and became even more enraged.
He refused to admit that he couldn't beat a little girl, so he used all his strength to try and turn the tables.
Alas, the thought was beautiful, but reality was cruel!
Chen Zi'an and Principal Guo arrived and saw this scene.
The person who was thought to be strong was desperately trying to defeat the weaker one.
But the person who should have been weaker firmly held the initiative.
Under Su Xiaotian's punches and kicks, Feng Xiangyu was passively taking hits and couldn't even get close.
In the exchanges, Feng Xiangyu was kicked by Su Xiaotian many times.
His originally clean clothes and pants now had many footprints on them.
Principal Guo was dumbfounded. What was going on?
He secretly glanced at Chen Zi'an, who nodded with satisfaction, and then he understood.
No wonder Minister Chen wasn't worried when he heard the news; it turned out this little girl was so formidable.
She was capable in both literature and martial arts, a promising talent!
Principal Guo increasingly felt that Su Xiaotian was truly remarkable.
Chen Zi'an watched Su Xiaotian spar with Feng Xiangyu and understood.
Su Xiaotian was using Feng Xiangyu to hone her skills.
Watching Su Xiaotian's increasingly agile and swift movements, Chen Zi'an's usually stern face even showed a hint of a smile!
He nodded with great satisfaction!
"Good, a smart child."
Feng Xiangyu became increasingly anxious, and his movements became disorganized. Then he heard Su Xiaotian ask, "Do you submit?"
Submit?
Submit?
How could that be possible?
Feng Xiangyu's expression became even more ferocious.
"I don't submit, if you have the ability, fight again!"
Su Xiaotian had no intention of continuing to fight Feng Xiangyu at this point.
After all, a person on the verge of madness was no longer useful for sparring.
Su Xiaotian, with swift movements, knocked Feng Xiangyu to the ground.
"Do you submit?" Su Xiaotian asked from above.
Feng Xiangyu originally had a height advantage, but now he was lying down, only able to look up at Su Xiaotian.
Looking at Su Xiaotian's bright smiling face, how could Feng Xiangyu submit?
"I don't submit, if you have the ability, come again!"
Su Xiaotian actually took two steps back and said, "Then let's go again!"
With those words, the two began fighting again.
Principal Guo whispered to Chen Zi'an, "Minister Chen, perhaps we should intervene?"
But Chen Zi'an shook his head, "Their matters should be resolved by themselves. We adults can just watch!"
Principal Guo thought to himself, that's a nice thing to say. If your precious niece was being beaten, would you still say that?
But Principal Guo only dared to think this in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Then again, this Feng Xiangyu really deserved to suffer a loss, otherwise, he wouldn't know his limits.
As Principal Guo was contemplating, Su Xiaotian kicked Feng Xiangyu in the backside again, causing Feng Xiangyu to fall to the ground in a "Falling Wild Goose" pose.
Principal Guo was dumbfounded. How did she do that?
They had been fighting for a while just now, but this time, how was he knocked down so quickly?
"Do you submit?" Su Xiaotian continued to ask.
Admittedly, Feng Xiangyu did have some backbone, stubbornly refusing to submit!
Su Xiaotian then made Feng Xiangyu stand up again to fight her.
Feng Xiangyu felt that Su Xiaotian was young and small, so her stamina would naturally be less than his. By fighting repeatedly, even if he just endured, he could wear Su Xiaotian down!
After being kicked flying for the seventh time, Feng Xiangyu finally realized with despair that he truly couldn't beat Su Xiaotian.
In fact, his whole body ached, and he had no strength left, but Su Xiaotian was still full of vigor, and her kicking posture was becoming more and more skilled.
And he was flying further and further away.
Even if he continued to fight today, he wouldn't be able to defeat this little girl in front of him.
This realization made Feng Xiangyu feel very frustrated.
He considered himself powerful, but he lost to a little girl in front of everyone.
It felt incredibly stifling no matter how he thought about it.
Su Xiaotian smiled, "Do you want to continue? If you want to continue, we'll keep going."
"However, I can't guarantee if you'll fly all the way to the classroom next time!"
Classroom?
They were on the sports field, and the nearest classroom was still more than ten meters away.
Did this little girl mean she could kick Feng Xiangyu ten meters away?
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
What kind of monster was this?
The most formidable student in County No. 1 Middle School, Feng Xiangyu, was powerless against her!
This was not scientific!
Someone couldn't help but start asking around, who was this little girl, and why was she so powerful?
The Su family brothers, whose hearts had been hanging, finally completely relaxed.
Seeing their little sister perform so brilliantly, they felt honored, and each of them grinned from ear to ear.
Then, Su Shouwen suddenly thought of a very serious problem: they might have put their little sister in danger again.
If Grandma found out when they returned home, would she beat them all up?
Su Shouwen looked at his brothers around him.
In that instant, the Su brothers suddenly understood their eldest brother's meaning.
They had all forgotten about this!
Thinking of this possibility, the smiles on the brothers' faces couldn't help but fade a little!
What should they do now?
But seeing their uncle also standing by watching, the brothers felt they still had a chance.
"I won't fight anymore, I submit to you!"
Thinking of possibly being kicked ten meters away, Feng Xiangyu conceded.
"Then from now on, will you still make us listen to you?"
Feng Xiangyu didn't dare to say that anymore and quickly shook his head.
"From now on, I will listen to you!"
As he said this, Feng Xiangyu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Yes, he felt much more relaxed.
Some things he thought he couldn't say, but once he actually said them, it was nothing.
"Let's go back to the classroom to study!" Su Xiaotian said lightly.
Feng Xiangyu was stunned. What did this mean?
He looked at Su Xiaotian blankly.
"Didn't you understand? Go back to the classroom to study, or we can continue fighting!" Su Xiaotian narrowed her eyes slightly.
Feng Xiangyu instantly felt that his injuries hurt even more.
He quickly shook his head and said, "No, I won't fight anymore, I'll go study."
Fight what? He was the one being beaten unilaterally.
"Then let's go back!"
As Su Xiaotian spoke, she had the demeanor of a boss.
But in the next moment, Su Xiaotian put on a cute and obedient baby look and ran to Chen Zi'an.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Chen Zi'an stroked Su Xiaotian's hair and said, "Good job, this is how it should be. Just that the force in your hands is still a little lacking, keep practicing slowly!"
Principal Guo, listening from the side, was utterly speechless.
He had seen how pitifully the little girl had beaten someone just now, and she still said there was room for improvement?
If there wasn't room for improvement, wouldn't she have beaten him to death?
Principal Guo's lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing.
"Uncle, then you and Principal Guo talk first, I'm going to class!"
After speaking, Su Xiaotian said goodbye to Principal Guo and then skipped off to class.
Watching the skipping little girl, Principal Guo felt she was like a split personality!
However, regardless of anything else, the atmosphere in Class 1 of the first year had indeed improved.
Even the most formidable Feng Xiangyu was defeated by the top student Su Xiaotian, so how could anyone else dare to provoke them?
Not only in Class 1 of the first year, but in fact, many students who had been planning to cause trouble had also become more disciplined.
They couldn't beat Feng Xiangyu, and Feng Xiangyu couldn't beat Su Xiaotian.
The conclusion they drew was that they couldn't beat Su Xiaotian.
Therefore, even though many students who disliked students studying diligently couldn't stand the Su family's academically gifted children, no one dared to do anything.
The Su family children were able to study peacefully.
Those who disliked people studying diligently could at most whisper behind their backs.
Su Xiaotian didn't hear them, and even if she did, she wouldn't pay any attention to it.
The place where the third family of the Su family lived was too small to accommodate so many children.
"What do you think we should do? We only have these two rooms in our house, and we can't just let our own children stay here. If we let everyone stay, then there won't be enough space." Third Master Su said with great distress.
He had three children, and it was enough for them to live at home, but what about the children from his elder brothers' and second brother's families?
Liang Xiu was also very troubled. Wasn't that the case?
If they only let their own children stay at home and the older children went to school to live, it was estimated that the entire family would not get along in the future.
"How about we let Little Eight, Little Nine, and Xiaotian stay at home, and the older ones live at school?" Third Master Su asked.
Liang Xiu quickly shook her head, "I've inquired, and the dormitory conditions at school are really poor. Dozens of students share large communal beds."
Moreover, the food and drinks were also not good if they lived at school.
"What should we do?"
As the couple was discussing, they heard the door open.
Upon opening the door, they saw Su Manxiu carrying Chen Xiuyuan.
"Xiuer, why have you come?" Liang Xiu asked as she took Chen Xiuyuan from Su Manxiu's arms.
"I know you're worried about the children not having a place to live, so I came over," Su Manxiu said as she sat on a stool.
"Indeed, Xiuer, your third brother and I are really worried to death. If they live like this for a day or two, it's fine, but what about in the long run?"
Liang Xiu felt like her forehead was going to go bald.
"The old couple next door to my house is going to the provincial capital, and their house will be vacant."
"But even if it's vacant, they might not rent it to us!" Third Master Su said with a worried expression. "Renting a house also carries risks."
What if they were caught and implicated in trouble by accident?
"Third brother, I secretly discussed it with them, and they agreed to let us say it's lent to relatives."
"It's just that the requirements are quite high: twenty jin of grain coupons and ten yuan per month. Third brother, third sister-in-law, do you think it's acceptable?" Su Manxiu asked.
Twenty jin of grain and ten yuan was a considerable expense for any family.
Both grain and money were precious commodities.
She dared to come and ask because she felt that the family didn't seem to be short of grain coupons.
"Third brother, I can produce the money, but I really don't have that many grain coupons. I can only provide five jin of grain coupons at most each month."
Third Master Su smiled upon hearing this.
Although he didn't know why the family's money and coupons were coming in continuously, providing twenty jin of grain coupons a month should be possible.
"Xiuer, I can get the money, but your third sister-in-law and I earn little. After setting aside enough for living expenses, it might not be enough," Third Master Su said, his face turning red with shame.
As an elder brother, he was ashamed to let his sister help pay for renting a house.
However, the couple's monthly salary was only thirty-odd yuan. If they took out ten yuan, it would probably not even be enough for the children's expenses!
"Xiuer, I still have some money on hand!"
"Third brother, you can't take money from me. You don't earn money yourself; it's your brother-in-law who earns money!" Third Master Su quickly waved his hand.
"We'll discuss this with Mom and Dad when we get back, maybe there's a way!" Liang Xiu said.
This was not just a matter for the couple, but for the entire family.
Calculating it, if the children all studied until high school graduation, there were still four years. If they really expected the couple to bear the burden alone, it was probably not possible.
But if the entire family worked together, it would be different!
"How about we ask them if they can give a little more grain coupons and a little less money?" Third Master Su thought.
The family wasn't really short of grain coupons; he had discovered this long ago. There was a thick stack of grain coupons at home.
"I'll ask. They're leaving the day after tomorrow. If this deal goes through, they want us to pay for three months first, and the rest will be sent monthly."
That evening, Third Master Su and Liang Xiu returned to Hongxin Brigade.
When Grandma Su heard the sound of the car, she knew her son had returned.
She thought her granddaughter would also be in the car, but after her son and daughter-in-law got out of the car, she realized none of the children had returned.
Immediately, Grandma Su's face fell.
"Mom, what's wrong? Is your face bad because you're sick?" Third Master Su didn't understand why his mother had such an expression and asked.
"I miss my precious darling," Grandma Su rolled her eyes and glared at her son.
They all knew he was returning, so why didn't they bring her precious darling back with him?
Uh...
Third Master Su was utterly speechless. Xiaotian had only been in the county town for three days!
