Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

During the spring planting season, Song Wanli was also very busy, as the demand for bamboo products was high at this time.

Baskets for carrying rice seedlings, bamboo carrying poles, bamboo baskets for picking spring tea, bamboo winnowing trays for drying tea...

Everyone would come to buy things at night, but Tingnan would stay at home and work with the collective.

When Song Wanli was too busy, he would ask Yi Dani to help him process the bamboo. But she wasn't very efficient at it, so she would get a beating: "Are you stupid? Why are you dragging that bamboo pole to the shade to process it instead of leaving it in the sun?"

"Are you stupid? Of course you have to wear gloves when splitting bamboo slices. Your hands are bleeding."

"Don't you have a brain? I've told you so many times, the width of the bamboo strips should be about the same."

Yi Dani never argued back, she just grinned foolishly.

Song Wanli did care about Yi Dani, but not much of it was genuine, and he expressed it in a crude way.

Ting Nan thought to herself: Even if my aunt wasn't stupid to begin with, you've made her stupid by scolding and beating her.

The second brother, Song Mingfu, was a stubborn man by nature. If you called him to eat, he would run off to play somewhere far away.

After everyone had finished eating, when Tingnan was about to go to work, he would stop her again, saying he was hungry. Every time, this made Tingnan so angry that she wanted to hit him.

He picks fights with Tingnan every day. When Tingnan is busy, he deliberately knocks over rice bowls, kicks over chairs, and shouts. If he happens to run into Song Wanli who is busy, then Tingnan is the one who suffers.

Song Wanli never disciplined his son; instead, he vented his anger on Song Tingnan and Yi Dani: "How do you manage people?"

"They can't even manage a small child!"

As a result, Yi Dani often had bruises and swelling on her face. She was the one who gave birth to the child, so she had to take responsibility for the "after-sales service".

Now, Tingnan's face won't get injured anymore, because she still needs to keep her face covered when she's out and about. Instead, she uses crutches on her back and feet.

Looking at the troublesome Song Mingfu, and how much effort she had to put into dealing with him every day, Ting Nan thought to herself, "Like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole."

Song Tingnan thought that if he knew "pressure point striking," he would definitely be unable to move.

If you were like Jiang Ziya from "Investiture of the Gods," having some magic would be fine; it would be best to learn from the master in "Journey to the West" and chant some incantations, then even the unruly Sun Wukong could be subdued.

Tingnan has recently been secretly reading her uncle Song Wanxing's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," and sometimes she can't help but wave a broom around a few times.

After learning Zhou Botong's "Ambidextrous Fighting" technique, Xiaolongnu became invincible by using the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay" as a combination of martial arts.

Compared to staying at home doing this and that, feeding the children, she prefers to be out and about, where she can earn money, avoid getting beaten, and broaden her horizons.

In particular, she inadvertently discovered that people were practicing boxing at the reservoir she passed on her way to the county town in the morning.

Boxing! A live-action version! Powerful and imposing, each punch carrying the wind, it looks incredibly impressive. Ting Nan's eyes lit up; she couldn't tear herself away.

Song Tingnan had another plan. He set off early to stake out the area, even if he didn't go to the county town, he would stake out the reservoir.

She wants to learn martial arts, at least to improve her health and be able to fight off her younger brothers. She doesn't want them to grow up only to be beaten up instead.

The second brother grew stronger with age, charging around like a calf, almost impossible to catch.

But how can I bring it up? Others might not even pass it on.

I've heard that martial arts have many rules: they're not passed down to outsiders, and they're passed down to men but not women...

And peeking like this isn't allowed, right? Thinking this, Nan immediately turned her head away, covered her head, and squatted down, too afraid to look. Ah… what should I do? I want to learn!

"Little girl, what are you doing here?"
