Ni Yang wanted to scribble a prescription for the old woman, but after patting her pocket, she realized that she didnt have any pen or paper. Suddenly, she remembered that she was no longer the same Ni Yang who always had a pen and a paper at hand.

Ni Yang gave a faint smile and continued, Why dont you come to my house to get it, grandmother? Ive just moved in over there. As the only outsider in Jinghua Village, it wouldnt be difficult for anyone to find her.

Alright, alright. The old woman quickly nodded, 111 come later. Thank you so much, Yangyang. Well be going now. Guobao, say goodbye to your sister. Goodbye, sister. Yang Guobao waved to her.

Goodbye. Ni Yang took her leave with a bright smile in her eyes.

Once Yang Guobao left, the onlookers dispersed. However, when they looked at Ni Yang again, they had a distinctly different impression of her. After all, she remained calm and composed during a dangerous situation, even managing to save Yang Guobao.

She did something that not many adults would be capable of doing.

Consequently, Ni Yang had a new label in the hearts of the people.

This girl isnt simple.

After everyone else had left, Wang Xiuhong was still standing there. She thought for a moment, then walked over to Ni Yang and smiled, Sister Ni Yang, my name is Wang Xiuhong. I live not far from here. Can we be friends?

Given the present circumstances, she could only try to befriend Ni Yang. Only by infiltrating the enemys ranks could she effectively control and suppress them.

Wang Xiuhong was no fool.

Ni Yang smiled lightly and looked up, Sorry, no.

Wang Xiuhong was taken aback. She hadnt expected Ni Yang to reject her outright. At that moment, her face darkened; she had taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, yet Ni Yang wasnt taking the hint!

She must be from a small place! She lacks discernment.

Why? Wang Xiuhong asked.

Ni Yangs expression was serene as she replied candidly, Because I dont befriend people with ulterior motives.

She had been aware of Xiuhong for a while and was naturally aware that Wang Xiuhong didnt have good intentions. She refused to waste her time on such people.

Ulterior motives?

Being so openly confronted, Wang Xiuhong started trembling with anger and slapped Ni Yang, You ill-mannered brat! Since your mother didnt teach you how to behave, allow me!

With her striking looks and a group of young boys fawning over her, Wang Xiuhong was like a petty tyrant in Jinghua Village. Kids would make sure to respectfully address her as Sister Xiuhong. Who would dare to offend her?

Running into a brick wall with Ni Yang today naturally left her with a bad taste in her mouth.

Since her sweet words were falling on deaf ears, she had no choice but to resort to violence!

Ni Yang caught Wang Xiuhongs swinging wrist in an instant, her voice ice-cold, Apologize.

It may have appeared that Ni Yang simply caught Wang Xiuhongs wrist effortlessly, but the actual force she exerted was something only Wang Xiuhong could comprehend. She was in so much pain that her face contorted.

You little wretch! Let go of me!

Ni Yangs expression chilled further, Apologize.

Let go of me, you wretch! Wang Xiuhong struggled violently.

The more Wang Xiuhong struggled, the harder Ni Yangs grip became, until finally, she started crying out due to the intense pain.

Ni Yangs face remained expressionless, her red lips tightly pursed. She emitted an oppressive aura that left Wang Xiuhong flabbergasted.

She had initially thought that Ni Yang was simply a piece of soft clay to be molded as she pleased but never expected Ni Yang to be such a tough nut to crack.

Apologize! Ni Yang repeated, her voice frosty.

Im sorry! Im sorry! Im sorry! Wang Xiuhongs voice wavered with her sobs.

Are you willing to submit? Ni Yang asked as she looked down at her.

Wang Xiuhong bit her lip hard, nodded reluctance and conceded, I yield.

Louder! Ni Yang demanded, her eyes coldly piercing.

I yield. Wang Xiuhong bit her lip, raising her voice, her face a mask of humiliation.

Louder. Ni Yang commanded, narrowing her eyes slightly.

Wang Xiuhong took a deep breath and shouted out loud, I yield! 1 yield!

Ni Yang smiled contentedly, her eyes sparkling as if filled with stars.

She never asked for trouble, but if trouble was forced upon her, she would never back down. If she didnt deal with Wang Xiuhong this time, Wang Xiuhong would doubt whether Ni Yang was as soft as she looked and could be easily preyed upon.

No matter the era, the rules of survival remain the same.

Survival of the fittest.

The weaker you appear, the more audacious your enemies become.

Those like Wang Xiuhong, they should be met with force!

Ive apologized already, now let me go, Wang Xiuhong pleaded, her eyes red and swollen.

But Ni Yang had no intention of letting her go. Smiling, she asked, Are you angry? Her face was calm and composed as she added, I love seeing you getting angry at me and unable to fight back. With that, she roughly let go, causing Wang Xiuhong to tumble back off balance.

Stumbling, Wang Xiuhong fell onto the ground, an ominous look filling her downcast eyes.

Ni Yang dusted off her hands, If you provoke me again, consider the consequences. As she spoke, she purposely snapped off a tree branch.

Watching this, Wang Xiuhong broke out in cold sweat.

Just you wait, my little cousin! You dare humiliate me like this! I will make you pay dearly for it!

Watching Ni Yang walk away, Wang Xiuhong tightly bit her lip, fury burning in her eyes.

Ni Yang carried the collected river snails into the village, greeting the villagers with a smile whenever she passed by them.

Who wouldnt like a sweet-tongued, good-looking girl?

Once home, Ni Yang drew a bucket of well water to keep the collected snails and clams, adding a few drops of vegetable oil on the water surface to make the snails spit out sand and grit faster.

Ni Cuihua came out of the house, curiously asking, Yangyang, what are you doing? Where did you get all these river snails?

Ni Yang stood up, smiling cheerily, Mom, the well water is very cold, you better stay away from it and go back inside to rest. 1 just brought back these river snails, planning to stir-fry them tonight.

You can eat river snails? Ni Cuihua asked, somewhat surprised.

Ni Yang nodded, Of course, you can. Its a delicacy. She had brought back big river snails that had yielded a lot of meat, and if cooked right, they wouldnt taste worse than pork.

Over the past few days, Ni Yang had introduced many new things to Ni Cuihua, who accepted them without questioning further and dragged Ni Yang into the kitchen, Yangyang, Ive already cut up the fish for you. Come and see if its alright?

Ni Cuihua wanted to help her daughter and had sliced several fishes into thin pieces. The pieces of fish were placed in white porcelain bowls, making a total of twenty big bowls. The fish bones and heads were already being stewed in a pot, the soup a milky white, and the air filled with a delicious aroma.

Mom, Ni Yang looked at Ni Cuihua and said seriously, You dont need to do all these. 1 can handle it. You havent fully recovered yet. Its more important to rest and recuperate.

Its fine, its fine, Ni Cuihua laughed it off, Im not that delicate. If we were still in Dam Village, 1 would be working in the fields by now. Whats a little fish cutting?

Compared with her previous life, Ni Cuihua felt that her current life was happier than a life in paradise.

Who would have dared to dream of such a life a month ago?
