A young boy from the 1970s, separated from his family, fled famine and led his younger brother into

"Hey! You! You're that new wild kid?"

The voice was shrill, arrogant, and full of malice.

Little Stone was startled. He saw that Li Hao, the "little tyrant" who had been scared out of his wits at Lu Zhen's door yesterday, was now surrounded by his gang of lackeys, looking very menacing.

Li Hao clearly came prepared today.

He had been humiliated by Lu Zhenguo yesterday, and the more he thought about it, the more resentful he became. This morning, he heard that the two "wild children" were actually the orphans of Political Commissar Lu's fallen comrade-in-arms, and that Political Commissar Lu was going to raise them as his own children. His resentment and jealousy reached their peak!

Why should I?!

Li Hao grew up in this compound! His father was the chief of staff, making him one of the top "high-ranking cadre's children" in the compound! He always regarded Uncle Lu as his most admired idol, but Uncle Lu always had a stern face towards him and never gave him a kind look!

But these two wild children, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in some remote mountain village, immediately stole all of Uncle Lu's attention and care!

This made him feel that his "territory" had been invaded and his "idol" had been stolen!

So, he's here today to cause trouble!

He wanted to let these two newcomers know who really owned this military compound!

"Hey! I'm asking you a question! Are you mute?!" Li Hao became even more impatient when he saw that Xiao Shitou didn't speak, but just looked at them with his big, dark eyes in fear.

A tall, thin boy behind him immediately stepped forward and shoved Xiao Shitou on the shoulder.

"Brother Hao is asking you a question! Are you deaf or mute?"

Little Stone was timid to begin with, and when he was pushed like that, he lost his balance and fell on his bottom onto the cold snow.

He was wearing the clean blue cotton-padded jacket that Zhou Yayun had just changed him into, and as soon as he sat down, a large patch of mud and snow instantly covered his back.

The little stone was stunned.

He looked at the stain on his body, then at the group of fierce-looking older brothers in front of him, his little mouth twitched, his eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Oh! Still want to cry?" Seeing his cowardly, half-crying look, Li Hao became even more smug. He put his hands on his hips and mocked condescendingly, "What a useless crybaby! Someone like you wants to be Uncle Lu's son? You're just a disgrace to our military compound!"

"Exactly! A mute and a crybaby! They're a perfect match!"

"Go back to your poor mountain village! Our military compound doesn't welcome wild kids like you!"

The boys around them joined in, making a ruckus and laughing without restraint.

Little Stone could no longer hold back and burst into tears!

His cries were mournful and helpless.

"stop!"

"What are you doing?!"

Li Hao and the others turned around and saw Su Nianci walking quickly out of the stairwell.

She was holding a bunch of green vegetables that she had just picked half of.

When she saw her younger brother being pushed to the ground and wailing, and the group of teenagers around him swaggering around!

A hint of coldness, which she herself didn't even notice, flashed in those clear eyes!

It's that familiar scene again!

It's that kind of school bullying again, where people take advantage of their numbers to bully the weak!

Whether in her past life or this one, this kind of thing always happens around her in the same old way, just with different names!

She quickly walked to Little Stone's side, helped him up from the snow, and gently patted the snow and dirt off him.

"Little Stone, don't cry. With your big sister here, no one will dare to bully you."

When Little Stone saw his sister arrive, his crying gradually subsided. He sobbed and hid behind Su Nianci, like a little animal that had found shelter.

After comforting her younger brother, Su Nianci turned around and surveyed the group of teenagers in front of her.

"Who pushed my brother just now?" she asked coldly.

Li Hao was taken aback by her icy aura.

He felt that he was not facing a little girl at all, but a... cold adult.

But his pride as the "king of children" prevented him from backing down!

He forced himself forward, took a step, and said stiffly, "I pushed him, so what?! Who told him not to talk, like a mute! I..."

Before he could finish speaking, everything went blurry before his eyes!

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap! Everyone was stunned! Including Li Hao himself!

He covered his burning face, staring incredulously at Su Nianci before him!

She...she actually dared to hit me?!

A girl who wasn't even as tall as his leg actually slapped him hard across the face in front of all his underlings?!

"You...you dare hit me?!" Li Hao's eyes instantly turned red! A huge surge of anger, fueled by humiliation, clouded his judgment!

"I'm hitting you!"

"I don't care whose son you are, or how arrogant you are in this yard! You just wait and see!"

"My brother is my only bottom line in this world!"

"If anyone dares to lay a finger on him, I'll chop off their hand!"

Her words were filled with blood and violence, and they didn't sound like something a child could say!

The ruthlessness and determination that emanated from his very bones sent a chill down the spines of all the young men present!

"You...you're a madman!" Li Hao was both shocked and furious. He raised his fist and was about to smash it into Su Nianci's face!

He wanted revenge! He wanted to teach this arrogant little girl a lesson about the consequences of angering him, the "Little Tyrant"!

However, his fist was grabbed tightly in mid-air!

"stop!"

A stern command came from the side.

When everyone turned around, they saw Lu Zhenguo and Zhou Yayun, who had come after hearing the noise, standing not far away with dark faces!

They all saw what just happened clearly!

"Li Hao! What are you doing?! Who gave you the audacity to bully my child?!"

Lu Zhenguo emphasized the words "my child".

When Li Hao saw Lu Zhenguo, he was terrified. He stammered, "Uncle Lu...I...I didn't...it was her...she hit me first!"

"Why did she hit you? Did you push the little stone first?!"

"I..." Li Hao was speechless.

"You bastard, Li Hao!" Zhou Ya Yun was also furious. "Our Nianci and Xiao Shitou have only been here for one day, and you've already ganged up on them to bully them! Don't you have any respect for the law?! I'll tell your dad today, and he'll give you a good beating with his belt!"

Upon hearing "tell Dad" and "belt," Li Hao's face instantly turned pale.

He fears nothing but his father, a former soldier who believes in the saying "spare the rod and spoil the child."

"No...no! Aunt Zhou! I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Li Hao immediately cowered, bowing repeatedly to Zhou Yayun and Lu Zhenguo in apology.

Su Nianci frowned as she watched the farce unfold before her.

She knew that using adult authority to suppress these teenagers would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

They're scared today, but tomorrow, when the adults aren't around, they'll only retaliate in more covert and vicious ways.

What she wants is not temporary peace.

What she wanted was complete, utter fear and submission!

"Dad Lu, Mom Zhou," Su Nianci suddenly spoke up, interrupting their scolding.

All eyes were on her.

"This is a matter between me and their child."

"I hope we can solve this in our own way."

She looked at Li Hao, who was still trembling.

"Fighting is the most basic way to resolve problems."

"We're not competing in fighting, we're competing in brains."
