Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

Back in the living room, after closing the door and sitting down on the sofa, Zhao Dazhu glared at Li Cuicui standing in front of him and demanded, "How did you get in?"

"I climbed over the wall to get in," Li Cuicui said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What do you want by climbing over the wall into my house?" Zhao Dazhu asked again.

"It's revenge on you. Who told you to break your promise and trick me? Don't ask me how I'm getting revenge; that bag of toads is what I prepared for you..."

Before Li Cuicui could finish speaking, Zhao Dazhu grabbed her ear and twisted it hard halfway around.

Li Cuicui immediately jumped up in pain and struggled violently, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Old Zhao, let go! Let go! My ear's going to fall off!"

Zhao Dazhu angrily retorted, "I'm not your father! Why should I do whatever you tell me to do? Do I have that obligation?"

"You're going to retaliate against me just because I don't listen to you? What do I owe you? Do you think the world revolves around you?"

Seeing that Li Cuicui was crying, Zhao Dazhu finally reduced his strength, but still did not let go.

"You climbed over the wall into my house without even saying hello, and saw things you shouldn't have. What am I supposed to do with you now? Or should I just kill you to keep you quiet, so you won't tell anyone about me and Yu Jiao!"

Li Cuicui's eyes reddened, but she glared and said, "Fine, come on then! I want to see if you dare to silence me!"

"You little brat!"

Zhao Dazhu flew into a rage, grabbed Li Cuicui, and swung his hand at her.

But Li Cuicui kept yelling and stubbornly said, "Ah... Old Zhao, you... if you have the guts, kill me... if you can't kill me... I'll... I'll expose you..."

With a creak, it rang out!

Li Yujiao came out of the room, dressed neatly.

When Li Yujiao first saw Li Cuicui, she was so frightened that she turned pale, but now her cheeks are flushed, and her face is filled with shyness and lust.

"Stop hitting her, Dazhu. This girl responds better to gentleness than force. No matter how much you hit her, it won't work," Li Yujiao said softly.

"What should I do? We can't just let this girl take our..."

Before Zhao Dazhu could finish speaking, Li Yujiao came over, gently pushed him away, and helped the grimacing Li Cuicui up from the sofa.

"I'll go inside and talk to Cuicui. Don't come in. Go wash your face and brush your teeth," Li Yujiao said.

"You probably can't handle this wild girl," Zhao Dazhu said, frowning.

"Cui Cui isn't the kind of immature girl; she's actually very understanding," Li Yujiao insisted.

Zhao Dazhu had no choice but to nod.

Li Yujiao pulled Li Cuicui's hand and walked into the room. As they entered, she said to Zhao Dazhu, "I won't make you breakfast this morning. There are some leftover steamed buns from yesterday in the kitchen, so make do with those. Cuicui and I are having a good talk, so don't come in and disturb us. Just go do what you need to do."

"Okay, got it," Zhao Dazhu said with a wry smile.

Li Yujiao and Li Cuicui slammed the door shut as soon as they entered the room, and Zhao Dazhu even heard a click, which was the sound of the door being locked from the inside.

Zhao Dazhu had no intention of eavesdropping, so he didn't go near the door. Instead, he went to the kitchen, grabbed a few steamed buns, dipped them in chili oil, and stuffed them into his mouth.

After eating a few steamed buns, Zhao Dazhu brushed the crumbs off his hands and prepared to go to the fields to encourage the growth of cherry tomatoes.

Yesterday he spent the whole afternoon working, but he only managed to grow one acre of cherry tomatoes using the Spirit Gathering Technique, a spell that can accelerate the growth of plants. There's still one acre left, so he has to continue today.

But before Zhao Dazhu could even step out of his house, he saw a large group of people walking towards him.

Who else could it be but Wang Jianguo's group?

Upon seeing Zhao Dazhu from afar, Wang Jianguo immediately called out, "Old Zhao!"

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Dazhu stared coldly at Wang Jianguo, making no attempt to hide his hostility.

As Wang Jianguo approached, he said menacingly, "Our village needs to pay another two thousand yuan to repair the cement road. Every household has to pay. The village committee held a meeting last night to announce it. Didn't you know?"

"I thought it was something big, but it turns out it's just this little thing," Zhao Dazhu said.

"So, are you going to pay or not?" Wang Jianguo asked.

"I'll definitely hand it in."

As he spoke, Zhao Dazhu took out his wallet, pulled out two thousand yuan, and stuffed it all into Wang Jianguo's hand.

Wang Jianguo was completely dumbfounded.

His lackeys behind him were also stunned, looking at each other, not understanding what was going on.

They had assumed that Zhao Dazhu would not pay, or at least not so readily, so they had already prepared to take action.

As a result, Zhao Dazhu paid the money so readily that they were completely taken aback!

"You...you took the wrong medicine?" Wang Jianguo looked at the banknotes in his hand with a blank expression, then looked at Zhao Dazhu.

"You're the one who took the wrong medicine! Your whole family took the wrong medicine!"

Zhao Dazhu snorted coldly and said without any politeness, "You were the one who asked me for money. Now that I've given you the money, what else do you have to say? Get lost, get out of my way, I'm busy!"

Wang Jianguo did not leave immediately.

He held up the banknotes in his hand with a suspicious look, examined them against the sun for a while, and only after confirming that the twenty hundred-yuan bills were genuine did he finally lead his henchman away into the distance.

"Has Zhao Dazhu lost his mind?"

"I think so too..."

"Did he strike it rich?"

"What kind of fortune can this old bachelor possibly make? If he were that lucky, he wouldn't be struggling to find a wife!"

"That's right..."

"Forget it, why bother with all that? We've got the money, let's move on to the next one and collect more!"

After discussing things with the group of thugs for a while, Wang Jianguo walked towards the door of another farmer's house.

Zhao Dazhu glanced at the departing figures of Wang Jianguo and the others, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Take it or leave it, take whatever you want.

The more money you ask for now, the more serious your crime will be!

Every banknote you collect will become a shackle that binds you, or even a peanut shot at you!

Shaking his head to banish the random thoughts from his mind, Zhao Dazhu left his house, pulled the courtyard gate shut, and strode briskly toward his two acres of farmland.

Perhaps it was because I had already gained experience from using the Spirit Gathering Technique yesterday afternoon to cultivate an acre of cherry tomatoes.

So today, Zhao Dazhu followed the same method, and his speed was much faster than yesterday, and this speed is still increasing.

He has even developed muscle memory for it, so he doesn't need to think at all. He can cast the Spirit Gathering Technique with just a raise of both hands, or even with just one hand.
