Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Attack

Chapter 34 -34 Attack

Just two steps away, Li Chunhua felt a trip under her feet, and she tumbled forward.

A figure pounced on her, pinning her down tightly; then she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and all her strength left her! Her vision darkened, and she could see nothing more.

Bai Xiao took out the registration letter from Li Chunhua’s body, looked at it carefully, and indeed saw her own name on it, with the words “Air Force Aviation University” below. This was her university admission notice. Although this institution wasn’t her ideal choice, at that time it was the head teacher who had helped select a few schools whose score requirements matched, and which were very advantageous for a family like hers.

Her desire to leave this place had never ceased. Back then, all the colleges she applied to were outside her hometown. But applying for college then was completely different from later years; students would fill out their college preference forms based on their past grades. After the exam results were out, admissions were based on the first and second choices filled out on these forms.

In many cases, the institution one ended up attending could be vastly different from the one they aspired to attend, which was a sad reality for many college students from that era.

But for Bai Xiao, as long as she could get into a university, no matter where, she was extremely eager to go.

She couldn’t clearly remember which choice this volunteer opportunity was in her application, but it seemed her first choice was to become a teacher, and her second choice was to join the military; now it looked like she was headed for the military.

Tucking the admission notice into her pocket, Bai Xiao looked up to see Zhang Changgong’s dazed expression. She didn’t blame Zhang Changgong; she had seen everything from beginning to end. Even if she had intervened, if the old lady had stubbornly framed Zhang Changgong, then he would have really been ruined by her actions.

It wasn’t Zhang Changgong’s fault. At least he truly kept his promise to her, wanting to deliver the admission notice to her personally. Unfortunately, both Zhang Changgong and Bai Xiao had underestimated the shamelessness and brazenness of Old Lady Bai.

“Comrade Zhang, I’m sorry that you were almost implicated. I believe you didn’t see anything,” Bai Xiao said with a teasing blink.

Zhang Changgong shook his head helplessly. He considered himself experienced in world affairs, but today was truly an eye-opener for him.

The grandmother was shameless to the extreme, willing to frame an elderly man like him to get her granddaughter’s admission letter. And the granddaughter was even more formidable; she had managed to trick her own grandmother. He felt all his bones ache just watching her fall, only to snatch back the admission letter.

He understood the girl was out of options. If Old Lady Bai had indeed become desperate enough to tear up the admission notice, Bai Xiao, even if she gathered many people, probably couldn’t do anything. Without the admission notice, even with great exam scores, it would be impossible to attend the university.

Well, Zhang Changgong sighed, “I’m old, with dim vision; I didn’t see anything.” He mounted his bicycle to continue delivering mail to the village. He decided to avoid Liupan Village as much as possible in the future—such a troublesome place, indeed.

Bai Xiao glanced at Old Lady Bai. She got what she deserved.

Was this considered ruthless and heartless on her part?

Who cares?

She hadn’t killed anyone or broken the law; she was just protecting herself. Moreover, Old Lady Bai had caused her plenty of torment and abuse in this life and the last—not to mention that just moments ago, she had merely reversed the operation of her Healing Ability to knock the old lady unconscious.

This was something she had discovered after much research and contemplation; her special ability wasn’t limited to healing. If operated in the opposite direction, it could induce various illnesses.

She hadn’t left Mrs. Bai completely paralyzed, unable to stand or speak, lying in bed forever, which could be considered quite merciful.

Was there anyone more saintly than her?

Bai Xiao clapped her hands and went home to pack her things, preparing to visit her eldest sister and second sister the next day.

Since her return, she hadn’t properly visited her family and those who had been genuinely kind to her.

She also wanted to send a telegram to her elder brother in town, telling him not to send money home anymore; once at university, she would write him a letter to explain everything. But she didn’t want her brother and sisters to keep sending money to support that family of vampires without knowing the truth.

However, life is always full of surprises.

Isn’t there a saying that plans can’t keep up with changes?

When Bai Xiao got home, she carefully stored her admission notice. She wouldn’t let Li Chunhua take it from her again. She visited the village chief, Liu Baoguo, and showed him the notice.

Liu Baoguo and Li Chunmei were also delighted upon seeing it. This girl had really made something of herself. University students were rare jewels; it was exceedingly difficult for a village to produce one. It was truly Liupan Village’s pride.

“Xiao, you’re amazing,” Baoguo said, “our village has never produced a university student before. This is a first for Liupan Village. Don’t worry, I will post a big red announcement. The whole village will celebrate. Liupan Village has produced an educated person, a real university student!” Liu Baoguo was excited. This was also a political achievement. Their Liupan Village would become famous for producing a university student, benefiting everyone in the village. Now when they talked about their village, who wouldn’t regard Liupan Village people with respect?

Li Chunmei held the admission notice, brimming with joy, touching it over and over again. It was a university admission notice, after all.

“Xiao, don’t worry, you are our village’s only university student. If you have any difficulty, you can always talk to your uncle. Your aunt has decided—we will host a three-day banquet in the village, so everyone can have a good time!” Li Chunmei could say this only because Liu Baoguo was the village chief and had the authority to back it up.

If the village chief said to host a banquet, of course, everyone in the village would lend a hand.

Bai Xiao shook her head, “Village Chief Uncle, let’s not have the banquet. It’s too expensive, and our village isn’t wealthy. Besides, this should be something my parents do, not something for you to worry about. It’s not appropriate. I don’t want to cause trouble for everyone. My grandmother is already not happy about my schooling—knowing about this would only cause more of a fuss. I’m not sure how I would even handle it, I wouldn’t want to dampen everyone’s spirits.” She was indirectly warning Li Chunhua not to complain; after all, the admission notice was now in her possession, and Li Chunhua could surely guess who had attacked her that day.

But without any proof, and with Bai Xiao’s denial, there was nothing Li Chunhua could do.

This was Bai Xiao’s firm resolve.

Liu Baoguo widened his eyes and slapped his hand, “She wouldn’t dare! You are our village’s honor. Who dares to trip you up? I’ll deal with them! Bai Xiao, rest assured, we absolutely can’t let your grandmother make a scene! You have your uncle!” Bai Xiao was truly talented, not just for getting into university, but also for her remarkable medical skills. If Li Chunhua dared to plot against her, let her see if Liu Baoguo wouldn’t sort her out.

You have to know, a village chief holds considerable power in his eyes.
