Chapter 172, Acquiring Bones

Qingqing felt somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, Zheng Bajin had already gone into the bathroom to take a shower and didn't pay any attention to the conversation between the two women.
After coming out, Wang Dingmei made several dishes and the family happily started eating.
Zheng Bajin briefly mentioned the situation at home, saying that everything is going well. Now, the pig farm has also built fifty pigsties and is currently constructing the surrounding walls. In a few days, they plan to build the second batch of pigsties and intend to raise another hundred pigs.
Wang Dingmei heard with some excitement and said that she wanted to go to the village with Zheng Bajin. She was skilled in pig farming and felt that staying in the city was meaningless and she felt sorry for the salary Zheng Bajin gave her.
Zheng Bajin shook his head and said, "You've also seen it, this city is not peaceful. Qingqing is alone in managing the store, how can anyone feel at ease? With you by her side, we can take care of each other. As for the pig farming matter, let's wait for Liu Yichang to grow up a bit more before making any plans."
"Yeah, it's true. Liu Yi is still so young. It's hard for her to follow you all day long, enduring the wind and sun. Let's wait a couple of years and consider it as her keeping me company." Qingqing and Wang Dingmei, without realizing it, had already reached the point where they called each other sisters and no longer felt estranged.
Wang Dingmei doesn't want to say anything more. Naturally, she doesn't want her child to raise pigs with her. Although they can be kept in a place where the sun doesn't shine, the conditions there are certainly inferior to the city. What if the child gets scared by some small animals? How can she justify her late husband?
After finishing their meal, Zheng Bajin suddenly had a wild idea and called Wang Dingmei, who was about to wash the dishes. He said, "
Wang Dingmei touched her still slightly sore face and nodded.
She had personally witnessed that day at the train station, Zheng Bajin stood up against several fierce individuals without backing down. If she had half of his skills, she wouldn't be afraid of getting into trouble.
Qing Qing also developed an interest and gently placed the already sleeping Xiao Liu Yi on the sofa, waiting for Zheng Ba Jinjiao to arrive.
"The saying goes, 'Strike the snake at its seven-inch spot'," Zheng Ba Jinjiao said earnestly. "For women, they may not have the strength to overpower men, so they must learn some killer moves instead."
Both women were uncommonly serious, especially Wang Dingmei. She knew all too well about the brutish men in the village. If they were not given a taste of their own medicine, they would take advantage of the situation.
“Where is a man's seven inches?” Zheng Bajin teased and paused, looking seriously at the two women in front of him.
“Throat?” Qingqing said.
Zheng Bajin shook his head.
"Y'all have no clue!" Wang Dingmei exclaimed.
Zheng Bajin shook his head once again, realizing that both women were serious and getting impatient. He then directly told them the answer, which was brakes!
He made a grabbing motion with his hand.
The two women's hearts chilled, as if they heard the sound of eggs cracking.
Even someone like Wang Dingmei, who had already given birth, couldn't help but blush and didn't know what to say.
Qingqing scolded, "Shameless, are you teasing us?"
"Of course not, actually, men have another vulnerable spot, which is" ... at this point, Zheng Bajin deliberately left a suspense.
“Where?” The two women asked curiously in unison.
"Smile at him, deliberately show weakness, seize the opportunity when he least expects it, catch him off guard, and suddenly strike with a heavy punch near his ear, precisely at the joint between the upper and lower jaws, which can directly dislocate his mouth."
As soon as Zheng Bajin spoke, the two couldn't help but curse in their hearts: Isn't it just an ear problem? But as they heard it till the end, they felt like it made sense.

"It was because, when he was a teenager, he boasted too much and claimed that he had practiced a powerful internal martial art. He even let someone punch him a couple of times without any consequences."
"However, he got punched in the jaw by another teenager of similar size, and his jaw dislocated. It took him a long time to close his mouth again and his face swelled up like a watermelon. Since then, he developed a chronic condition of frequent jaw dislocation." (Note: It is important to note that the Chinese sentence contains offensive language. The translation has been modified to remove the offensive words.)
Zheng Bajin begins to explain self-defense techniques against wolves, demonstrating a few moves. In conclusion, he emphasizes the importance for women to practice diligently, strengthen their bodies, in order to stand unbeatable.
Zheng Bajin also taught two women how to train basic skills, of course starting with push-ups, followed by squats.
Qingqing always feels that the posture is not quite right, but she can't express it. It's obvious that they are asking her and Wang Dingmei to train their leg strength.
After half an hour of practice, both of them were sweating profusely. Zheng Bajin finally allowed them to rest, reminding them to practice every day without fail.
Just then, Liu Yi started crying. Wang Dingmei hurried to comfort her and suddenly realized that it was already late at night and it was time to put the child to bed. Without even washing up, she carried Liu Yi into the guest bedroom.
Zheng Bajin looked at Qingqing, covered in sweat, and said, "Alright, that's it for today. We'll continue training tomorrow. Now, go wash up and get some rest."
……
The next day, Zheng Bajin went to Autumn City Hotel. He directly found Zheng Xiaofei and asked him for help in finding the director of logistics. He asked the director to take charge of collecting all the leftover bones in the hotel and in the future, he would find someone to buy them.
The person listened and, when Zheng Bajin offered to provide the money for the purchase, naturally agreed happily.
For him, he didn't need to take action himself to make the people below leave the bones behind; just a few words would suffice. It was considered easy money, an opportunity he would not pass up.
He delegated the task to Zheng Xiaofei, asking him to complete it with two workers when they finish work.
Zheng Xiaofei seems to have changed completely now; he no longer dares to look down upon Zheng Bajin. I heard that his pig farm has been completed and the first batch of pigs has moved in. Zheng Xiaofei promised to help him.
In this way, the matter is settled. Zheng Bajin said that he will come once a week.
After leaving, Zheng Bajin went to several large restaurants, including the municipal party committee's reception center. He found the relevant people and closed this deal. Translated text:
People were initially at a loss about how to deal with these bones, but now that someone is willing to take them, why not seize the opportunity?
After calculating, Zheng Bajin realized that he had collected enough for a week and didn't need to search anymore. However, there was still a need for someone to handle the purchasing, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate at the moment, so Zheng Bajin had no choice but to step in temporarily.
This job is not heavy, but the smell is quite unpleasant. The reason is that there are all kinds of bones, and with the current hot weather, they are prone to spoilage.
He bought several sealed boxes and lined them with foam. He drove a tractor, made a round, loaded a cart, and headed towards Shili Village.
At that time in the city, traffic was still not regulated and there were few cars. Any kind of car could freely travel around the city without violating traffic rules.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, driving the car to the store behind the city hall. By now, Qingqing and Wang Dingmei should have already started working and be guarding the store. It would be the perfect opportunity to bid them farewell and explain that he would come back to see them in a few days.
At the moment of farewell, Qingqing becomes anxious and worried. Zheng Bajin consoles her kindly for a while, then hurries to leave the city because the things on the car cannot wait.
Just as he was about to leave the city, he arrived at the Three Arch Bridge, the only exit to Xiaoyu Township. Suddenly, a horse carriage blocked his path by cutting in front of the tractor.
A middle-aged man with a full beard jumped out of the car and stared at Zheng Bajin with a very unfriendly expression, saying that the tractor startled his horse.
In his heart, Zheng Bajin cursed, "Now there are people trying to extort money? And it happens to me, which is unreasonable and goes against the rules of historical development. It's completely unscientific!"
