Zhao Rong stepped forward, pointing at the hooligans in front of him, and said:
“Thirty years east, thirty years west, never underestimate the young when they’re poor…
Although back then, assistant, you were the child from the poorest family in this village, and your character was weak…
But now, assistant, through your own hard work and struggle, you’ve achieved certain accomplishments…
You hooligans, don’t look down on others, and especially don’t look down on assistant…
No matter someone’s background or status,
as long as they are willing to work hard and fight,
they can definitely change their destiny and rise to the top…”
Miss Lili slapped one of the hooligans to the ground, then spoke up for the assistant, saying:
“Assistant, although you were bullied in the village back then,
today, you have returned in glory,
and our team is here to teach a lesson to these few hooligans who bullied you before…”
Yu Lan continued to cheer for the assistant, saying:
“Assistant, you once came from the poorest family in the village,
but now you are the richest person in this village…
I believe from now on, no one will dare to bully you…”
Xuelian stepped forward, warning the three hooligans who had been knocked down, saying:
“You hooligans really look down on others…
Back when you bullied assistant,
you never thought that assistant would one day accomplish something, return in glory, and teach you clueless hooligans a lesson…”
Assistant went forward and kicked each of the hooligans once.
He pointed at Wang Rui, who had dyed hair, and said:
“Wang Rui, you once borrowed my bicycle,
and because I didn’t lend it to you, you gathered thugs from the school to intercept and beat me up at the school gate…
Now, I want to show you that a seemingly weak classmate is not always easy to bully…”
With that, the assistant stepped forward and landed a flying kick that knocked Wang Rui unconscious…
Next, the assistant approached Huang Gang with red hair,
pointing at his nose, he said:
“Huang Gang, you used your strong build to frequently bully me in the village, and insult my family for being poor, and cursed my parents, even my grandparents…
Now, I want to prove to you that assistant is not an easy target…”
With that, the assistant delivered a spinning kick, knocking Huang Gang to the ground.
As the assistant moved toward the third hooligan,
the third hooligan, terrified, turned to run.
When the assistant saw the third hooligan trying to escape,
he immediately picked up a brick from the ground and threw it, saying:
“For years, I have traveled with Brother Zhao Rong across the land,
I might not have learned other skills, but I’ve mastered the art of brick-throwing…
And when I throw bricks, I never miss, don’t think I won’t hit you…”
Just as the assistant finished speaking, the brick he threw hit the hooligan squarely on the back,
knocking him to the ground.
After teaching the three hooligans a lesson,
the three hooligans crawled over, begging the assistant for mercy, saying:
“Big brother, have mercy on us,
we were blind and bullied you before…
Now, you’ve returned in glory and achieved success,
we three hooligans apologize, we really regret it…”
The assistant pointed at the noses of the three hooligans and said:
“Thirty years east, thirty years west, everyone has ups and downs, flowers do not bloom for a hundred days, people have no thousand-day good, don’t always think of bullying the poor or weak,
you should think of helping them,
because they are the ones who need help…”
After teaching the three hooligans a lesson,
the three hooligans admitted their mistakes and vowed, saying:
“Big brother, we three hooligans promise never to bully others again,
moreover, we will cultivate the habit of helping others…”
Hearing the words of the three hooligans, the assistant sighed deeply and forgave them.
After Zhao Rong’s group finished teaching the three hooligans who had bullied the assistant,
they continued to head towards the village.
As Miss Lili walked, she asked the assistant, saying:
“Assistant, I remember you said you lost your mother at three, and your father in your youth,
so, is there anyone left in your family now?”
The assistant walked quickly, his eyes filled with longing for home.
The assistant nodded, saying:
“Miss Lili, although my parents are no longer alive,
my grandfather and grandmother are still living…
Back then, when I was at home,
after my parents passed away, my grandparents always took care of me,
so I was raised by my grandfather and grandmother…”
Miss Lili nodded and said to the assistant:
“Assistant, since you were raised by your grandparents,
then once you get home, you should be filial to them…”
The assistant nodded and then took out various health supplements for the elderly from the bag he carried, saying to Miss Lili:
“Miss Lili, I believe, for us young people, the most important thing is to be filial to our parents and the elderly…”
Xuelian looked at a yard overgrown with weeds in the distance and asked the assistant, saying:
“Assistant, we are about to leave the village,
could it be that your house is that last rundown one…”
The assistant nodded, quickening his steps and saying:
“Yes, Yu Lan, our home is the poorest in the village,
since we have no money to build or repair the house,
our yard is very dilapidated,
several rooms have collapsed,
only the last old brick house is left, where my grandparents live…”
Xuelian followed behind the assistant, sympathetically saying:
“Assistant, I had no idea your life was so tragic…
If I had known about your tragic past, being without parents from a young age,
I definitely wouldn’t have laughed at you, I would have helped you instead…”
The assistant smiled slightly at Xuelian as he entered the door, saying:
“It’s okay, Xuelian, let the past be the past,
from now on, just be kinder to me…”
Xuelian, feeling a bit guilty, said:
“Alright, assistant, in the future, I will treat you well in all our endeavors…”
Once the assistant entered the yard, he headed straight towards a very rundown brick house in the corner of the yard.
At this moment, the assistant’s grandfather came out of the house.
Seeing his grandfather,
the assistant rushed forward, tears in his eyes, kneeling down, saying:
“Grandpa, how is your health? I came back to see you…”
When the grandfather saw that it was his grandson, the assistant, who had returned,
he said excitedly:
“My child, you’re finally back,
you have no idea how much your grandma and I missed you all these years you were away…”
The assistant embraced his grandfather, crying and saying:
“Grandpa, when I left, I had nothing,
now, I’ve returned in glory…”
Soon, his grandmother, feeling her way, came out of the house,
due to cataracts,
she couldn’t see the assistant and could only reach out to feel his face, and cried, saying:
“Yongqiang, you’ve finally come back…”
