Chapter 144: Chapter 141 Brother Qi, Brother Gao, and Brother Qi Arrive

——————

Zhang Shan Ni certainly had no intention of staying to supervise. If they couldn’t even handle such simple exercises to limber up, it wasn’t worth her time to stick around.

She first went to the front courtyard and saw that her fifth younger brother and sister-in-law were already there, and even her fourth sister was a few steps ahead of her into the kitchen. Zhang Shan Ni greeted everyone with a "Good morning~", nodded, and buried herself in her own tasks.

With more people around, she recently had to fetch more water, and the water in the tank was depleting too quickly.

Fortunately, the distance wasn’t far, as there was a well with clear water right in her own front courtyard, which Xie Tiesheng later covered with wooden boards for safety after the children increased in number, leaving only the crank for drawing water.

In Zhang Shan Ni’s view, using the crank was of course both safe and convenient.

When the four daughters-in-law of the Xie Family had gradually finished their tasks at hand, breakfast was ready, and Xie Jingzi also arrived, puffing and panting with several "radish heads". Perhaps because she had been engaged in high-energy activity for over an hour, Xie Jingzi’s face was flushed, and Zhou Xiuhua, upon seeing this, finally allowed herself a heartily relieved laugh.

Because of what happened to Xie Jingzi yesterday, she had excused herself from going out, citing ’discomfort’. Even her meals were delivered to her room by Zhang Shan Ni. The little aunt had cried herself hoarse, her eyes and nose both swollen. If Zhou Xiuhua had seen it, she would have been heartbroken.

The grandmother’s health had indeed improved a bit, but she was not yet well enough to face the shock of such incidents with her daughter!

With the cooperation of the grandparents, and Xie Jingzi’s voice being genuinely hoarse, claiming she caught a cold and was ill seemed plausible enough.

And just like that, overnight, after resting for a day and a night, even if the young girl had cried bitterly before, she had now recovered. Youth is full of collagen, recovery is quick, and Zhou Xiuhua had not noticed anything amiss at all.

As for what would happen if the grandmother found out afterwards, well, with the grandfather standing firm above, Zhang Shan Ni was not the least bit worried.

This morning, Zhang Shan Ni did not plan to go up the mountain. Instead, she intended to personally train the little aunt’s instinctive bodily reactions.

Xiao Yi and the others went to school at the same time as Xie Jingzi, following the same schedule.

The older children, intrigued by Zhang Shan Ni’s ’modern’ teaching method, all gathered around to listen to Zhang Shan Ni’s explanations and to practice self-defense (not described here to prevent accused number-fudging), and Ranran specifically pointed out the difference in physical strength between men and women, noting that women indeed have certain innate disadvantages in terms of strength. However, women’s bodies are more agile, and they can use that to cleverly counterattack.

Using Xiao Yi as a model, Zhang Shan Ni demonstrated how to quickly slide to the side and get behind an enemy intent on harming you and, if the strength was matched, to counterattack with a club. If the strength disparity was too great, then it was necessary to take advantage of the enemy’s forward momentum, quickly dodging or fleeing.

Women are naturally more flexible, an inherent advantage, and even if taken by surprise, they should not panic or give up their instinct to survive. Utilizing any external force or their own advantages to confuse the enemy was key—as long as one could safely escape the crisis—

"You must understand, when faced with danger, you must stay calm, especially when someone is committing an assault with a weapon. You need to be extra cautious; everything else is irrelevant. The most important thing is to ensure your own life, that is the right path!"

"Especially for women, when facing danger, temporary humiliation means nothing! If the opponent is too powerful, focus on preserving your own life. That way, you can seek revenge against the villain later, understand?"

These unconventional words left all the younger ones present looking bewildered.

"Of course, men face the same dangers as women; when they encounter something harmful to themselves, they shouldn’t be afraid. As long as we’re not unconscious, we can always fight back!"

Zhang Shan Ni thought about how in future generations, not only women are violated, but there are also numerous cases of male children being abused! However, when women are harmed, they lose the ’virgin’ membrane, while men are mostly just labeled as ’obscene criminals’, unable to kill their abusers. Moreover, without that female ’membrane,’ as long as they don’t speak out, no one would know...

But in Zhang Shan Ni’s view, such harm is identical.

It’s just that women are more vulnerable, shackled to the heavens, so when such incidents truly occur, the victims often continue to be ’harmed’!

Xie Jingzi, having just experienced the incident yesterday morning, somewhat understood the implications in Third Sister-in-law’s words. However, the three little ones didn’t quite grasp it, and though they didn’t understand, they could still keep it in mind.

Both Xie Jingzi and the three little ones were growing, with good flexibility, and their strength could be increased through daily training. Seeing Zhang Shan Ni skillfully pin Xiao Yi to the ground, not to mention the rest of the little ones, even Xie Jingzi, a girl, was green with envy!

Curiosity makes learning quick, and with the added competition among everyone, the desire to win is constantly provoked, spurring one to push oneself to improve.

Zhang Shan Ni saw the four children roughhousing and didn’t correct them. Once they knew the basic techniques, the rest was up to them to discover new strategies through continuous trial...

When the three cousins from the Zhang Family came calling, Zhang Shan Ni was in the front yard ’chop chop chopping’ wood.

It was just after breakfast, and she was teaching the competitive little ones how to improve their strength.

"San Ni~~" Zhang Nanqi, with his two brothers, came to Qingfeng Village, and under the guidance of fellow villagers, found their little cousin’s husband’s family.

As it was broad daylight, rural households generally don’t close the big gates of their courtyards.

Approaching the gate, Zhang Nanqi and his group immediately saw Zhang Shan Ni chopping wood!

"Little Ni Ni~~" Zhang Nanqi called out in disbelief, and at the same time, saw clearly that surrounding her was a group of both big and little kids!

Zhang Shan Ni was startled when she heard ’San Ni’, but when she heard the strange cry of ’Little Ni Ni’, she suddenly became alert. Raising her head, she saw the three brother cousins of the original owner at the gate.

"Brother Qi, Brother Gao, Brother Qi?!" Zhang Shan Ni handed the axe to Xiao Yi and instructed in a low voice, "Xiao Yi, you’re the oldest, take charge. You already know the points I told you, building strength requires physical effort, take it slow! Littlest one, you watch over them first."

"Okay, Third Sister-in-law, go ahead." "Second Aunt, we understand."

"Brother Qi, Brother Gao, Brother Qi, come in, don’t just stand there!" Zhang Shan Ni called out "Be good and listen," then moved out of the circle of children, leaving a small portion of her spiritual power with the kids, and quickly walked towards the main courtyard gate, standing a few steps outside to wave them in.

The original host had a very good relationship with her three brother cousins, especially Brother Qi, as they were born in the same year and month.

Originally, Zhang Nanqi was supposed to be born a little later, but due to a minor accident causing premature birth, he was born a few days earlier. So, though the name Little Qi remained unchanged, he became the original host’s younger cousin brother instead of a younger cousin.
