Chapter 97 Some Weird Cousins
She originally thought that the days ahead would definitely be the most difficult for her, but she didn't expect Li Qiyao to come. At least it wouldn't be so difficult for her.
"Okay, let's go back then. You just happen to need someone to supervise you."
Du Ruo smiled, picked up Xiang Yuanyuan and drove towards the B&B.
When Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan arrived, Li Qiyao was already sitting in the pub. Next to her was a girl with short hair and a mask and long sleeves in this weather. The two of them were sitting in Xiang Yuanyuan's seat in the pub and drinking juice.
"Qiqi~ You're finally here. I was still wondering what to do."
As Xiang Yuanyuan entered the pub, she ran to Li Qiyao, hugged her, and started complaining.
"What's the matter? Let's go upstairs and talk. Boss Du, I'm bothering you again."
Li Qiyao patted Xiang Yuanyuan's shoulder, then smiled at Du Ruo.
I have to say, Li Qiyao's current state has changed a lot from when we first met.
When we first met, Li Qiyao had a frown on her face, and her eyes seemed to always be filled with sadness, as if the worry between her brows could not be dissipated. Coupled with her rather thin figure, she looked even more pitiful.
Now she loves to laugh, and her eyes narrow when she laughs. She is much more confident. The only thing that remains unchanged is that her voice is still as magnetic and lazy, with the demeanor of a mature woman.
Li Qiyao picked up a small suitcase from the bar, and the group walked towards the second floor of the pub. On the way, Xiang Yuanyuan kept talking about the results of today's hospital examination. Especially when she mentioned that the doctor told her not to drink alcohol, she sighed even more.
Only Li Qiyao's cousin followed behind with her head down, silently following.
"It's better not to drink. You drink too much. I've wanted to persuade you a long time ago. Look, your skin has turned a little yellow. I have to supervise you carefully these days."
Li Qiyao didn't think there was anything wrong and said with a smile: "Look at Yuanyuan."
"Tsk, I think it's bad. Yuanyuan is the only one living here. I suspect she will get up in the middle of the night to drink secretly."
Du Ruo pointed around the living room on the second floor. The place was full of wine. It was impossible to stop drinking in such an environment.
"Yes, it is true. Boss Du, do you have any vacancies? I want to rent one. My cousin is coming with us this time, and Yuanyuan can't live here. I think we should book a single-family house, and then Yuanyuan can live with us."
Li Qiyao took a look, nodded, and then looked at Du Ruo.
"No, you came too suddenly, so there is no reservation. All the rooms here are booked for three days later."
Du Ruo shook his head. Because of the presence of the proprietress, there was never a shortage of guests in this B&B. And now it was the peak season, so there were even more guests. Not only his B&B, but also the other B&B nearby had no vacancies.
"Hey, it's okay. You and your cousin can sleep in my room tonight, and I can sleep on the sofa in the living room."
Xiang Yuanyuan smiled and pointed to the sofa next to her and said something.
"I think this is the best way. You guys can stay at my place and I'll go to my house. It's not far away anyway and it's very convenient to go back and forth."
Du Ruo ignored Xiang Yuanyuan and decided to give up his room. After all, Li Qiyao had helped him a lot, and Du Ruo had never found a chance to thank her for the Panlong silk.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Boss Du. Yuanyuan, pack your clothes and lock the place and give me the key. I'll tell Xiaojuan not to give you any alcohol."
Li Qiyao also ignored Xiang Yuanyuan's words and decided the matter.
Du Ruo discovered that perhaps what had changed in Li Qiyao was not just her expression, but her personality seemed to have changed a lot as well, becoming more assertive. In the past, even though she and Xiang Yuanyuan were friends, she would only passively accept it.
“Ahhhhh!!!!! Kill me, I want a bite right now!!!”
Only Xiang Yuanyuan was standing there, grabbing the pillow on the sofa and going crazy.
"Then I'll go back and pack up. You can come to my place for dinner tonight, and then you can just stay there."
After saying this, Du Ruo wanted to leave.
After returning to the rented courtyard, Du Ruo asked the aunt who cleaned the guest rooms to come over and help him clean the room, change the bed sheets, and bring the toiletries of the homestay.
He went to the kitchen to make some simple meals.
After dinner, Du Ruo didn't stay long and drove back with his luggage. Li Qiyao and her cousin came here by car and looked a little tired. If there was anything, they could talk about it the next day.
"? Didn't you say you were going hiking with the girls? Why are you back?"
Only my mother was a little curious when she saw Du Ruo coming back with clothes.
Others don't come home all night after a date, but your son is different. He packs his bags and runs away after a date?
"A friend came over and I gave them my house to live in. Where's Yaya?"
"I'm asleep. I had a crazy day today and was almost exhausted. I went to bed after dinner. Have you eaten? Do you want me to give you some midnight snack?"
"Yeah, sure. My friend brought me some local specialties. Let me drink some with my dad."
……
"Boss Du, this is what happened, so I wanted to bring my cousin over to ask if you have any good ideas."
The next morning, Du Ruo practiced boxing at home, had breakfast, and then drove to the B&B.
As soon as he arrived, Li Qiyao invited him over and told him the purpose of his visit.
The cousin next to her also took off her mask for the first time. Her face was a little red and swollen, and it looked like she was slapped, but the slap mark was gone, and the redness and swelling were very obvious. The course of events was also very clear. The cousin was abused again. The neighborhood committee went to persuade her not to call the police and asked her to be magnanimous. The man’s parents also came over, pretended to hit the man a few times, and then told her that couples always fight, and they fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed.
Then the cousin went to Li Qiyao to complain, and was brought by Li Qiyao to see Du Ruo.
"Did you fight back?"
Du Ruo rubbed his forehead. This kind of family dispute annoyed him the most, but he didn't know what to say. After all, this cousin was the victim. However, Du Ruo had to be sure of one thing, that is, whether she fought back, which would determine whether he should teach the other party something.
"Yeah, I fought back."
My cousin stretched out her hand, revealing her nails. All ten of her nails were trimmed into sharp points, and some were broken. It seemed that she was quite ruthless in her fight.
"Well I tickled him twice, and then he hit me harder."
As she spoke, my cousin pulled her sleeve up a little, revealing a bruise.
"Didn't your sister say that you practiced Muay Thai? Muay Thai teaches you to scratch with your fingernails?"
Du Ruo had an even bigger headache. This cousin was not a good person either. No wonder she didn't want to divorce him. She was quite stubborn. She sharpened her nails and fought even though she knew she couldn't win.
"There was no time. I kneed him and he grabbed me and pushed me down, and then..."
My cousin actually blushed as she spoke.
"Stop talking, I'm still young."
Du Ruo just felt a headache. He wanted to refuse but it was difficult to say it. If he didn't refuse, it seemed like a trouble.
"Don't get me wrong, he just spanked me, it's not what you think."
My cousin explained.
It would be fine if there was no explanation. The more I explained, the more weird it seemed. Even Li Qiyao and Xiang Yuanyuan looked at each other in bewilderment. Li Qiyao only knew that her cousin was beaten, but she didn't know it was like this. No wonder her cousin didn't want to divorce. Could it be that her husband had some violent or sadistic tendencies? They had no problems getting along with each other and even had a good relationship? Maybe her cousin also had sadistic tendencies?
"So your goal is to be able to fight back when your husband wants to hit you, or even to beat your husband up for no reason, right?"
Du Ruo figured out the key and asked directly.
"Yeah, that's right."
My cousin nodded firmly.
"Boss Du, do you have any solution?"
Li Qiyao already felt very embarrassed. If she had known this would happen, she would not have brought her cousin here. But now that she was here...
"How much does your husband weigh and how tall is he?"
"He's 173cm tall and weighs 118kg. He doesn't do much exercise. He just collects rent and plays games. He tends to hit people when he gets upset while playing games."
"What about you?"
Du Ruo needs to understand the difference between the two first. If her husband is 180cm tall or weighs 180kg, Du Ruo would advise her to go back and practice Muay Thai for three years.
"I'm 165cm tall and used to weigh 90kg. Recently my sister asked me to do some physical training and I gained 5kg."
The cousin answered truthfully, her eyes full of anticipation. This was the first time she had met Du Ruo, but her cousin also made up her mind after meeting Du Ruo once. She must have extraordinary abilities, otherwise her sister would not have brought her here to find a solution.
"That's okay, the difference isn't that big. If that's all, then I'll teach you in the next few days."
Du Ruo nodded. It was not as difficult as he had imagined. Du Ruo was thus repaying Li Qiyao's favor.
"Really? Thank you, Boss Du, but how long does it take to learn? I heard from a Muay Thai practitioner that it takes at least three years for a woman to learn self-defense."
Before her cousin was happy, Li Qiyao stood up and thanked her first. It was obvious that she really cared about it and had specially inquired about it.
"The situation is different. Your cousin's case is a family dispute that won't endanger her life. If she has a good understanding, three days will definitely be enough."
Du Ruo shook her head. Normal women would use self-defense only when their lives were threatened. But when facing thugs, resistance required the ability to completely subdue the other party.
But for my cousin, there are always fights and quarrels at home, and her husband is not a professional. He is also on the thin side, so there is no need for her to practice for so long. Some small tricks are enough. He said three days was too long. In fact, for those with good understanding, one or two days is enough.
"Well, then I'll leave it to you, Boss Du. Let's get started now."
My cousin’s eyes were shining and she couldn’t wait, and her fists were clenched as she spoke. It seemed that she wanted to learn it right away and then go back and beat her husband.
"Okay, first of all, I'm willing to teach you because you're willing to fight back. If you don't plan to fight back, I wouldn't want to teach you."
As Du Ruo spoke, he stood up and stood aside.
"Secondly, you have to know that the human body is very fragile. If there is a family conflict, you must avoid fatal areas. I am teaching you to oppose domestic violence, not wanting you to become a murderer. Do you understand?"
"Understood. I will definitely hit you more gently after I learn how to do it."
My cousin nodded her head like crazy, and the expression on her face could hardly be suppressed.
