Chapter 261 - 253: Kang Mianhua
Hu Weiwen regained his spirit after resting at Tian Aiguo’s home for a few days. Despite Xu Qianwen’s objections, he returned to the paper mill but was assigned to an easier position. With Huang Xiaoguang and a few others looking after him, there shouldn’t be any big problems.
Coming back from the grasslands, Tian Qinghua and Tian Weihua regretted hearing about all the incidents that had occurred at home.
The two thought about severely punishing those villains, but these people had already been dealt with by Tian Xinhua. Thus, on a dark and windy night, both of them, along with Luo Jun and Lei Gang, used sacks to capture Commander Wang who was alone, and gave him a vicious beating, breaking two of his ribs, a front tooth, and two molars.
Commander Wang, a victim of this ambush, really wanted to find his assailants, but with experts like Lei Gang and Luo Jun skilled in such deeds, no clues were left behind. After a futile investigation, Commander Wang had no choice but to let it go and swallow the bitter pill.
Moreover, after this incident, Commander Wang seemed to sense something awry, or perhaps someone above had warned him. Afterward, he restrained himself quite a bit, no longer daring to act recklessly as before, which could be considered good news for the battalion’s educated youth.
After this ordeal, the relationship between Luo Jun, Lei Gang, and them improved. To put it in today’s terms, it’s like brothers who’ve fought together, visited brothels together, and been to jail together are truly close.
After the Ghost Festival, they returned to Beijing, and not long after their return, He Chengsi also came back, but he brought with him a girl with thick eyebrows and large eyes, quite pretty.
The girl had a very down-to-earth name, Kang Mianhua, and was about the same age as He Xuewen, but due to her tall stature and long legs, she appeared around sixteen or seventeen.
Kang Mianhua kept saying she came to express gratitude, but He Chengsi didn’t appreciate it.
One day, early in the morning when He Chengsi got up, he saw Miss Kang following him to the yard to practice boxing.
"Can’t you just not follow me?" He Chengsi was flustered.
"No way. My grandpa said, repay kindness, avenge wrongs. I haven’t repaid my debt to you fully, so I must follow you," the girl was stubborn, her voice crisp.
