Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 180: Simply Ridiculous

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Simply Ridiculous

He shouldn’t have reminded me, damn it! When he said that, Zhen Yu didn’t hesitate anymore and rushed towards the man!

"Fuck!" The man cursed under his breath, getting vicious.

He raised his knife towards Zhen Yu, swinging it wildly trying to force her back.

Zhen Yu took her bag off her shoulder and swung it hard, and with the continuous collisions, the man kept retreating but was determined not to give way.

Unfortunately, a dirt road wasn’t a one-man defense line. Zhen Yu exchanged a few blows with him, then dashed past his side, running straight for the residential area like a streak of smoke.

The man also ran after her, chasing and swearing softly, "You freaking stop right there!"

Zhen Yu wasn’t dumb, she completely ignored the man’s shouts. As if she would really stop—no freaking way!

If it wasn’t because the detour to avoid the pit on the way home was so long, and she felt that she didn’t have as much stamina as the man, afraid of being caught halfway, she wouldn’t have confronted him head-on!

She thought she heard a ’puh’ sound just now, not sure if her bag was pierced or not.

Ah... if it’s broken, it’s broken! Better the cloth bag than a ’flesh bag’. Zhen Yu quickly ran while trying to be humorous with herself in her mind.

While running, she arrived in front of the Han Family’s door...

Both the Zhen Family and Han Family houses were by the edge of the pit, but the Han Family hadn’t fenced their yard since they opened the clinic, so Zhen Yu just pulled open the door and charged in like a whirlwind!

Once inside, she slammed the door shut and quickly locked it!

A flurry of actions as fierce as a tiger, the watchers are left dumbfounded like fools.

In the Han Family’s living room, all four people had forgotten to eat, each holding a pair of chopsticks, their expressions uniform, all...

Zhen Yu leaned back against the door, gasping for breath: "Ah huff... ah huff... ah huff..."

For a while, there were five people in the room, and not a single one spoke.

——

It was Mrs. Han who first snapped out of it, setting down her chopsticks and walking to the door, pulling Zhen Yu to sit on the sofa. Concerned, she asked, "Xiao Yu! Are you running so fast because something urgent happened?"

Zhen Yu shook her head, still not quite catching her breath, "No, nothing! Huff! Huff..."

Han Mingyue silently poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table. Zhen Yu grabbed it and gulped down several mouthfuls, but choked because of drinking too hastily.

"Cough! Cough cough cough..." Zhen Yu instantly coughed like a shrimp.

Han Mingyue hadn’t even walked away before quickly sitting down on the armrest of the sofa next to Zhen Yu to pat her back, "Take it easy when you drink! Luckily, I gave you warm water."

Mrs. Han also said, "You’re so restless today, child! What the heck happened?"

Mr. Han and Han Jiayang also set down their chopsticks and gathered around the sofa, all four of them watching Zhen Yu, waiting for her to speak.

After Zhen Yu calmed her cough, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from coughing and glanced at the door subconsciously before saying, "I encountered a robbery."

"What?" Han Jiayang exclaimed loudly, "Where? Just now? Where’s the person who robbed you?!"

The other three members of the Han Family also stared at Zhen Yu intently. Zhen Yu, feeling the atmosphere was too oppressive, forced a smile, "He was just chasing me, but he probably left since I entered the house!"

"I’ll go have a look," said Mr. Han as he turned to head for the door.

Zhen Yu quickly stopped him, "Don’t go! That man has a knife!"

"!" Han Mingyue was startled and immediately pulled Zhen Yu up from the sofa, checking her over, "You’re not hurt, are you?!"

Zhen Yu was suddenly ’searched’ and her body shrank a little, she dazedly replied: "Should be, should be okay."

Mrs. Han became nervous as well, "Really not hurt? Feel it again carefully, otherwise, come with me to Ming Yue’s room and let’s take off your clothes to check!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the movements of Han Mingyue’s hands suddenly slowed.

Zhen Yu was trying hard to ignore Han Mingyue’s ’inspection’ and managed to put on a nonchalant expression. But then she suddenly heard Mrs. Han telling her to ’feel it again’...

Her senses felt as if they had been amplified several times over instantly. Even though Zhen Yu held her breath, her cheeks slowly grew burning hot.

Fortunately, Han Mingyue soon stopped and naturally commented, "Should be not injured."

Mrs. Han looked at her son’s red ear tips without saying anything, just secretly laughing inside; the little rascal grew up in the blink of an eye...

"I’m really not injured!" Zhen Yu quickly echoed a sentence. Feeling the awkwardness of the atmosphere, she repeated the self-deprecating comment she made earlier, "But I think my bag got hurt."

With that, she took her bag and looked it over, indeed finding a thumb-sized tear on the side.

——

Mrs. Han was startled, "Good heavens! How did this happen?"

With just a few words, Zhen Yu summed it up, but everyone heard a perilous scene from it! Mr. Han, whose attempt to open the door had failed, asked with a frown, "Why did he specifically target you?"

Zhen Yu licked her lips, she knew she would be asked! If Mrs. Zhen were to know about this, she would definitely scold her too!

"Today I was promoting sales all day at Shoe City. Because it was too busy and I didn’t have a bankbook, so..."

"So you brought the money back with you?!" Mr. Han immediately interjected, then scolded angrily, "That’s ridiculous! Do you know how chaotic society is these days?!"

"I know," Zhen Yu whispered softly.

To Mr. Han’s surprise, he felt Zhen Yu was just humoring him and unexpectedly exploded with a rare curse, "You know shit!"

"Uh!" Zhen Yu was stunned, she really did know!

Seeing Zhen Yu quiet down and stop retorting, Mr. Han curbed his irascibility and educated the children.

"Do you know why Ju Ming who hurt you last time was sentenced to so many years? Because there’s a nationwide crackdown! Crime rates have increased in recent years, becoming more and more severe! The government must act tough to punish the criminals, yet even so, there are still those who defy the law to commit crimes! Do you know why they take such risks?"

Mr. Han slapped the table, summarizing with emphasis and gravity, "It’s because people have become corrupted! And the reason for this corruption is all because of money!"

Zhen Yu wholeheartedly agreed.

Whether it’s ’money can make the devil push the millstone’ or ’can’t do without money’, neither compares to the classic saying from past lives — money is the root of all evil!

Mr. Han gave the children a few minutes to digest the conversation, then grabbed Zhen Yu’s bag to open it.

Flutters of cash fell on the sofa, Mr. Han turned the bag inside out, shaking it vigorously until it was empty.

"This much?!" Mrs. Han exclaimed, "That must be several thousand, right?"

"Not even three thousand," Zhen Yu stated truthfully.

"You, child, you’re too bold! Carrying so much money home all by yourself! Do you think you are Sun Wukong?!" Mrs. Han couldn’t hold back and chided Zhen Yu.

"I’m wrong," Zhen Yu’s eyes went wide, and she immediately admitted her mistake compliantly. Even a true man doesn’t eat the loss before his eyes! And as she considered herself at least half a man, she had to bend when it was necessary.
