A day passed quickly, and it was Zhan Lingfeng who took Li Xiuli out for lunch. Now that Zhan Lingfeng was considered a wealthy person, he naturally wouldn't deprive himself of good food.
Li Xiuli didn't refuse anymore and followed Zhan Lingfeng to eat, then helped him with some knowledge on computational methods.
With Li Xiuli's guidance, Zhan Lingfeng made rapid progress, understanding many concepts that he had previously struggled with.
"Your comprehension is excellent; you've grasped the knowledge so quickly," Li Xiuli said with a smile as they walked home, clearly in a good mood.
"That's because you taught well."
"With your grades, you will definitely be able to get into the first high school."
"Actually, I haven't decided which high school to attend yet. You know my situation; I still have to run my business and can't be in the classroom every day."
Li Xiuli replied, "You're really capable. Your family used to be similar to ours, but now everyone in the village is talking about your family's success, saying it's all thanks to you."
The admiration in her tone was evident.
Zhan Lingfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry; if you stick with me, you'll also become successful in the future."
Although it sounded like a joke, he noticed that Li Xiuli only blushed slightly and didn't refute him.
As the two of them just entered the village, they noticed something unusual.
"You two, quickly find a place to hide! The family of Huang Dahe from the neighboring village is here to take people!"
A woman spotted them and shouted urgently.
"What happened?"
Zhan Lingfeng still had some confusion about the situation.
Suddenly, Li Xiuli grabbed Zhan Lingfeng's hand tightly, her face pale, and that feeling of helplessness reappeared.
"What happened?" Zhan Lingfeng asked again.
The woman said, "You don't know? The son-in-law's family borrowed money from Huang Dahe's family in the neighboring village, right? Later, they said that as long as the son-in-law's family promised to let their foolish son marry into their family, they wouldn't ask for that ten thousand anymore and would even give the son-in-law's family five thousand. As a result, today they caused a scene here, claiming that the son-in-law's father accepted the betrothal money and that the person is already theirs. You don't know, their Second Son from the county brought a group of thugs with him, each holding sticks and covered in tattoos; they clearly aren't good people."
Another woman said, "You should hide for a while. Some young people from the village just had a fight with them but couldn't win. Now they're all guarding the son-in-law's house."
Hearing this, Li Xiuli tightened her grip on Zhan Lingfeng's hand even more, her body trembling.
"Hmph!"
A murderous look flashed in Zhan Lingfeng's eyes.
Now Zhan Lingfeng was close to reaching the Dark Energy Layer. He was confident that dealing with those thugs wouldn't require much effort; even if they were retired Special Forces, he wouldn't care.
He squeezed Li Xiuli's hand firmly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After saying this, Zhan Lingfeng moved forward.
For some reason, hearing Zhan Lingfeng's words eased Li Xiuli's tense emotions. At that moment, Zhan Lingfeng was in her heart a source of support, a presence shielding her from the storm.
When they arrived at Li Xiuli's house, Zhan Lingfeng saw it surrounded by people.
"Here comes the son-in-law!" Someone shouted, and everyone's gaze instantly turned to Zhan Lingfeng and them.
Li Xiuli's body trembled suddenly.
However, she quickly calmed down again when she felt the strength of Zhan Lingfeng holding her hand.
"Welcome back, Li Shitou. Your daughter is now part of my family, and we are taking her away," an old man's gaze fell on Li Xiuli.
At this moment, a young man addressed his subordinates, saying, "This is my sister-in-law; don't hurt her." Yet, there was a peculiar expression in his eyes as he spoke.
"Stop! This is The Era of Law; you can't act recklessly here!"
Zhan Lingfeng shouted and rushed forward, standing in front of Li Xiuli.
"Oh, so you're Zhan Lingfeng? Don't think that just because you have some money, you can act like a big shot. Let me tell you, anyone who dares to block our way will be dealt with. You see those people? They tried to act tough and ended up getting taken care of."
Zhan Lingfeng had already noticed that there were still a few people in the village who seemed to want to intervene but had been beaten by their group.
Looking at those who had been beaten, it was clear that although they hadn't lost any limbs, they were in bad shape, each one bleeding.
Turning his gaze toward the group brought by Huang Family's Second Son, Zhan Lingfeng indeed saw several young men armed with weapons, each covered in tattoos. Moreover, some relatives of the Huang Family from the neighboring village had also arrived, standing ready to assist at any moment.
"Xiu." Li Xiuli anxiously tugged at Zhan Lingfeng.
"Don't be afraid; I'm here!"
"Xiu!"
At this moment, Huang Xiaocui also called out from among the crowd.
"Mom, it's fine, I can handle it," Zhan Lingfeng said calmly.
"Oh, so you really think you're something now. Fine, I want to see how you plan to solve this. Let me tell you, Li Xiuli's father accepted ten thousand yuan as a betrothal gift. Once the bride price is paid, she becomes my brother's woman. Who dares to stop us? Don't blame us for being rude; we'll beat him until he submits!"
"You think having numbers makes you impressive? Since you believe that violence can solve everything, then fine, today I'll beat you until you submit!"
Zhan Lingfeng was no ordinary person; in the Skywind Continent, he was decisive in battle and had long internalized the belief that strength is paramount. After his rebirth, he had been reluctant to resort to violence, but now this group had come to confront him directly, igniting the anger within him.
"Go on, take him down!" the second son of the Huang Family said in a low voice.
They had been waiting here knowing that Li Xiuli would be coming back from school. Unexpectedly, Zhan Lingfeng intervened. When he thought about how Zhan Lingfeng had even given fifteen thousand yuan to the Li Family, he entertained the idea of getting even more benefits from Zhan Lingfeng.
After receiving his command, those who had come along grinned wickedly as they approached Zhan Lingfeng.
They weren't rushing; instead, they kept talking about how to take down Zhan Lingfeng.
At this moment, Huang Xiaocui panicked and rushed to Zhan Lingfeng's side from the crowd, anxiously saying, "Xiu!"
"Mom, have you ever seen me do something I'm not confident about? They're just a bunch of useless thugs. If we don't deal with them, do they really think there’s no one left in our village?"
