The 1960s: The Story of a Country Girl's Journey to the City

Tan Xinmin realized that the three people who came today were actually in charge of this little girl's affairs.

He had already calmed down the two older women; now only she was left.

Liu Erli's heart had been in her throat. She had never been to a police station before, and her legs went weak as soon as she entered.

I was trying to drag Baoya away, because I was really afraid they would arrest her and lock her up in jail.

Seeing that Tan Xinmin wasn't angry and was even trying to reason with them, Bao Ya quickly gave him a look, telling him to stop while he was ahead and not make a fuss.

"Okay, but you have to call his whole family over. He's all talk and no action. Trying to reason with him is like talking to a brick wall."

Bao Ya casually threw out a sentence and waved to them.

She was exhausted. Although Li Qiang didn't fight back, he was incredibly fast. She waved her broom, barely managing to reach him.

Seeing that she had agreed, Tan Xinmin sent someone to Li Qiang's house to call everyone over. Then he led them into the meeting room to wait.

Before entering the meeting room, when no one was looking, Bao Ya grabbed a police baton. She couldn't hit the police, but the Li family members weren't police, so she could hit them.

Sitting in the conference room, Bao Ya didn't rush to speak. At that moment, Liu Da Mei was crying and talking about her daughter's distressing affairs.

The two leaders listened very attentively, especially Hou Longteng, who glanced at Li Qiang a couple of times while listening.

Li Qiang was so ashamed he couldn't lift his head. He didn't know his wife and mother-in-law had so much resentment towards his family, nor did he know his mother was so unreliable.

Bao Ya was getting sleepy listening to it, and he couldn't be bothered to listen to the rambling on the other end.

In her opinion, it takes two to tango; if someone bullies you and you just tolerate it, it's tantamount to admitting that others can bully you.

If someone bullies you for the first time, slap them across the face. The next time they try to bully you, they'll have to think twice about the consequences.

And this Xu Huiru, why don't you say anything when your husband sends money back to you? You're like a saw-off gourd, yet you think you're so principled.

As a result, they felt they hadn't done enough and wanted to squeeze more out of you.

Zhou Yanhong, the only female officer at the police station, poured a few glasses of water for them and listened to the gossip going on in the room.

Bao Ya took the water, downed it in one gulp, and then asked for another cup. Zhou Yanhong happily brought her another cup. Then she stayed and didn't leave.

After waiting for almost an hour, a junior police officer led a few people into the conference room.

The young policeman stepped aside, revealing an old woman with a gloomy face, triangular eyes, and downturned lips; she was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Two women and a man followed behind her; one was holding the old woman's arm, and the other was standing very close to the young man.

It should be Li's mother, Li Qiang's younger brother Li Yong, his younger sister Li Na, and Li Yong's girlfriend Zhao Xiaotao.

On the way, Li's mother heard that her eldest daughter-in-law's family had gone to the police station to cause trouble for Li Qiang, and she was furious. Her face was grim as soon as she entered the house.

Before Bao Ya could speak, she felt something tugging at her clothes.

Looking down, I saw a little girl with big eyes tugging at the hem of her clothes, her mouth pouting, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had been holding back for a long time.

That pitiful little expression broke her heart.

Seeing her aunt who could beat her uncle to a pulp, the little girl suddenly found her pillar of support and poured out all her grievances.

"Auntie~. Waaah~"

The little girl called out "Auntie!" and instantly burst into tears. She opened her mouth wide and began to cry, holding her breath for a long time until she could barely breathe.

"Niu Niu, what's wrong?"

Bao Ya immediately picked up the child and placed him on the table in the conference room.

But Niu Niu clung to her clothes and wouldn't let go, her crying uncontrollably. Her whole body leaned back, as if she was about to faint.

"Niu Niu, don't be afraid. If anyone bullies you, tell your auntie. Your auntie will beat them up for you."

When Liu Damei saw her granddaughter, she wanted to hug her, but she couldn't let go of Bao Ya.

Seeing the child crying like that, I started crying along with the child.

Bao Ya had no choice but to wipe away the child's tears while gently comforting him.

But when I touched one of the child's cheeks, my hand paused for a moment.

Only then did they realize that one of the child's cheeks was red and swollen, and burning hot.

"Niu Niu, who hit you?"

After hearing her words, the entire conference room fell silent. Li Qiang tried to squeeze in to see the child, but his mother quickly pulled him back. She glanced disdainfully at Bao Ya.

"What's wrong with giving a child a couple of light taps if they misbehave? What's the big deal?"

After hearing what she said, what else is there to not understand?

Bao Ya ignored her and only comforted the child, asking Zhou Yanhong to take the child and Liu Damei to another room to be taken care of.

She noticed that Liu Damei wasn't in good condition and was afraid that she might faint from the shock.

Bao Ya saw them to the door and turned around without anyone noticing.

As he passed by Li's mother, he grabbed her by the collar and slapped her twice across the face.

"you……"

"You old geezer won't listen to reason, what's wrong with giving him a couple of slaps?"

No one expected Bao Ya to pick on an older person first, leaving Director Hou and Tan Xinmin completely bewildered.

"Bao Ya, why did you hit my mom?"

Li Qiang was really angry now. It was one thing to hit him, but why did he even hit his mother?

He clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Lin Baoya, looking as if he could rush up and beat her at any moment.

Bao Ya didn't care; if he dared to touch her today, he would have to take off his uniform.

"Your mother is made of gold, so why can't I hit her? Your whole family of used women think they're so superior."

"You've gone too far."

Li Qiang, suppressing his anger, went to help his mother. Seeing that her older brother didn't move, Li Na rushed forward herself.

"I'll beat you to death, you bitch."

Bao Ya didn't even lift her eyelids. She took a step forward, raised her knee and leg, and with all her might, kicked her in the lower abdomen.

"what!"

After being kicked in the stomach by Bao Ya, Li Na bent over and fell backward, bumping right into Li Yong, who was trying to take advantage of her.

The two people fell to the ground one after the other, crying out in pain.

Zhao Xiaotao, who was behind, quickly went to help Li Yong and glared fiercely at Bao Ya.

Bao Ya didn't hold back either, grabbing a water glass from the table and throwing it at her.

"What are you glaring at me for, you stinking slut?"

"Duang"

"what!"

At this point, Zhao Xiaotao no longer needed to support Li Yong; she covered her head and wailed in pain.

"Alright, stop hitting, everyone sit down."

Even the good-tempered Tan Xinmin couldn't stand it anymore. How could this girl be so troublesome? Taking on an entire family all by herself.

He realized that without Li Qiang, even if the whole family were tied together, they wouldn't be a match for her.

How can a young lady be so good at fighting? If it were a boy, he'd send her to the army.

Bao Ya became more and more addicted to the fight. Her strength and agility were sufficient, and when combined with the Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) she had learned in her previous life to lose weight, the power was doubled.

I have to say, beating people up is actually quite satisfying; it feels really good.

Thanks to the efforts of Tan Xinmin and Hou Longteng, the situation was finally brought under control. They then called in two more young police officers from outside. The four of them placed Bao Ya and Liu Erli in the middle. The Li family members sat opposite them.

This arrangement is intended to prevent her from being beaten, and more importantly, to prevent her from beating others.
