Beside her, Chen Yuanyuan nodded excitedly.

"Great! Big brothers and sisters, seeing the people who bullied you get scolded like that makes me feel so good!"

"I also helped out by distributing eggs to everyone."

Before long, the group brought out two large boxes of eggs from the mall and placed them on the steps.

Looking over there again—

Niu Dazhuang, Ma Chunhua, and Chen Meifeng were no longer squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.

They fell to the ground, covering their ears and remaining motionless.

Actually, they started by hurling insults at each other, but how could three people possibly out-insult one or two hundred?

So, they'll soon be drowned in everyone's spittle.

They simply covered their ears, lay on the ground, and pretended to be dead.

If I can't win an argument with you, I can at least play dead, right?

No matter how hard they covered their ears, it was no use; their faces turned ashen, their features contorted in agony.

He was foaming at the mouth and trembling all over.

I'm really going to get yelled at to death.

Niu Bayi was both annoyed and amused, and immediately called out to them.

"Alright everyone, stop cursing! If you keep cursing, you'll really kill someone. Come and get your eggs, line up!"

Everyone turned around and looked, then excitedly ran over, some even shouting.

"Wow, there really are egg collars! There really are egg collars!"

Even the shopping mall sent out several staff members to maintain order and make everyone line up in three long queues.

Niu Bayi, He Zhenzhen, and Chen Yuanyuan each gave them eggs.

Five per person.

Everyone praised Niu Bayi.

I've never done anything so wonderful in my life. I swore so hard and felt so good.

There are also five egg collars.

After distributing the eggs, Niu Bayi led He Zhenzhen and Chen Yuanyuan into the mall and bought an identical Phoenix brand bicycle.

Then, he bought He Zhenzhen several fashionable and beautiful outfits.

To thank Chen Yuanyuan for helping distribute the eggs, I bought her two sets as well.

Of course, the future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law are all indispensable.

We also prepared a gift for them.

When I came out of the mall, the sun was already clearly setting in the west; it must have been at least five o'clock.

Niu Dazhuang and the others had all disappeared; it was unknown whether they had gone to the hospital for heart treatment.

Niu Bayi rode a bicycle with Chen Yuanyuan on the back.

He Zhenzhen rode another bicycle to the Chen family's house.

The little girl's home was on the edge of town.

Upon arriving at the two small, dilapidated houses, Chen Yuanyuan jumped out of the car before it had even come to a complete stop and excitedly rushed inside.

"Dad! Mom! I brought back a bicycle, a really beautiful bicycle! Once Dad's leg is better, he can ride it to work and won't have to work so hard anymore. Come and see!"

A surprised voice came from inside.

"What? You brought back a bicycle? That must be expensive, several hundred yuan! Where did you get it?"

There was also a man's voice, filled with pain and annoyance.

"Yuanyuan, you didn't just see someone's bicycle on the street and bring it back, did you? Hurry up and return it to them. How could you do something so ridiculous?"

Then, a woman helped a man out.

The man was dark-skinned, and you could tell at a glance that he worked frequently in a coal mine.

His muscles are also very muscular; at first glance, he looks a bit like a boxer.

His leg was wrapped in thick bandages, with a wooden board wrapped inside the bandages to immobilize the leg.

This is clearly a fracture.

With the woman's help, he hopped and skipped out.

Two little kids, only four or five years old, were following behind.

Two more elderly people came out of a nearby house.

They were all startled by what they saw outside.

He Zhenzhen quickly began to speak.

"This car wasn't picked up by the roadside by Yuanyuan; we gave it to her."

"Yuanyuan is very filial. She went to the beach early in the morning to catch crabs and then took them to the market in town to sell. She made 2 cents. When she saw a lottery next to the mall, she bought a lottery ticket, hoping to win a bicycle for her father to ride."

That's how we met.

She briefly recounted what had happened.

Chen Yuanyuan's father, Chen Liuqi, said after hearing this, "No, no, this bicycle belongs to you, not my daughter. Even if my daughter spent money to buy lottery tickets, she didn't win. We can't spoil the child like this."

"I can't take the bike back."

He shook his head vigorously, like a rattle.

You can tell at a glance that he is a person of principle.

Chen Yuanyuan's mother, Wang Xing, also reprimanded her daughter.

"How could you accept someone else's bicycle? It's so expensive, four or five hundred yuan. Our family can't accept such a big gift. Listen to your mother, let the older brothers and sisters ride the bicycle back."

Chen Yuanyuan pouted, almost crying.

"Dad, Mom, don't let the older brothers and sisters ride their bicycles back!"

"Let Dad ride it. I don't want to see him get up so early, or come home so late, and I especially don't want to see him running home at night and accidentally hurting his leg."

"Riding a bicycle is so great! I... I also told the older brothers and sisters that I will work hard to earn money so that I can go to the beach to collect seashells, snails, crabs, and shrimp whenever I have free time."

"I save the money I earn and pay them back once a month."

Chen Liuqi was both amused and exasperated.

"Silly girl, how are you going to pay it back? When will you ever be able to pay it off?"

Chen Yuanyuan said confidently, "I'm still young, I have decades to live, I'll definitely be able to pay it back, right, big brothers and sisters?"

This almost made He Zhenzhen and Niu Bayi laugh.

Niu Bayi said, "Brother Chen, your daughter is right. Let her pay back slowly. Anyway, we won this bicycle in a lottery, so we didn't spend any money on it."

Wang Xing said, "How could you say you didn't spend money? You spent money on lottery tickets too."

He Zhenzhen said, "We were lucky. Although we spent 20 yuan on lottery tickets, we also won a lot of other small prizes, such as pork and rice. We made back our money."

"Sister, just listen to your daughter. Tell her to pay it back slowly when she has the money. There's no rush."

"Besides, we bought another bicycle, so we don't need two."

He Zhenzhen and Niu Bayi took turns offering their advice.

They even found it funny.

Giving someone a bicycle as a gift, and then having to persuade them to accept it, is truly a tough job.

Chen Liuqi was eventually persuaded.

He sighed and nodded.

"Alright, young man, I, Chen Liuqi, will accept this bicycle. We'll slowly earn money to pay you back later."

Chen Yuanyuan immediately protested.

"Dad, you don't need to pay it back, I'll pay it back myself!"

"Whenever I have free time, I go to the beach to collect things to sell. I can earn two or three cents a day, which adds up to twenty or thirty yuan in ten days, and several hundred yuan a month. I can pay off my debts in a month!"

As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, doing the math.

This immediately amused everyone.

Wang Xing sighed and said quietly, "This child... needs to be sent to school."

Chen Liuqi asked Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen their names, and then slapped his chest loudly.

"Brother Bayi, I'm not much of a talent, but I'm a small foreman in the coal mine with over twenty brothers under me. We're tough and capable. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell me!"

"I took my brothers and smashed up his house."

"A drop of water in need deserves a spring in return!"

"Although I haven't been to school, I've heard this phrase many times."

He's a warm-hearted and righteous person.

Niu Bayi's eyes lit up.
