Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 430: Who Dares Bully My Brother
With the cameras gone, Tuanzi fully displayed her Qinggong skills.
At this hour, most villagers were working in the fields. She moved quickly, flying over the wall, unnoticed by anyone.
In less than a minute, Tuanzi caught up with Gu Zhuo and his group.
Being closer gave her a clearer view.
Xu Yue and a few others not only had her cousin carry everything, but Xu Yue also joked around with an arm over Gu Zhuo’s shoulder, making it impossible for him to shake off.
[Miaomiao: This is clearly bullying my cousin! Despicable!]
[Ancient Martial System: Your cousin’s personality does make him prone to bullying.]
Too introverted, doesn’t like to talk, focused on studying, slender build—he’s the type who gets bullied at school but doesn’t dare tell his parents when he returns home.
The system can connect to the internet at any time to gather information. Data shows that this situation is more prevalent during elementary, middle, and high school. It improves a bit in university, and during postgraduate studies, with fewer students, it should logically happen even less.
The Gu Family is naturally protective, and Tuanzi’s master and senior brothers are also very protective. Influenced by them, Tuanzi is quite protective herself.
Anyone she acknowledges falls under her protection circle; she doesn’t want them bullied.
Earlier, when she didn’t interact with her relatives on her grandfather’s side, she didn’t care about their situations. But after contact, especially meeting those sincerely good to her, she quickly included them in her protection circle. Jin Chunting is a prime example. For Jin Chunting’s sake, Tuanzi often argued with Old Sir Jin.
You treat me well, I treat you well.
Now that someone is bullying her people, Tuanzi’s restraint in not directly knocking them down was already being courteous.
[Miaomiao: Being prone to bullying doesn’t justify others bullying him!]
[Miaomiao: What should I do now?]
She wanted to rush out and beat them up, but what would come after? Would it solve the problem?
Her master and elder brother have told her that fists can solve many issues but not all.
[Ancient Martial System: I’m not sure either, but you could confront them and make them carry their own things. Since the program is recording, you could chat with your cousin tonight.]
Tuanzi decided to take this advice.
She deliberately landed with a ’slap’, right behind Gu Zhuo and his group.
The startled group turned to look.
"Hey, aren’t you that little boss? Why are you here?" Xu Yue asked proactively.
Tuanzi glared at him coldly.
"Miaomiao is a responsible little boss. You’re big clients, Miaomiao can help deliver things to the archaeological site."
Xu Yue was about to say ’no need’, but realized they had burdened Gu Zhuo with everything.
"Um..."
Tuanzi didn’t give them a chance to speak, exaggeratedly looking at all the things Gu Zhuo carried, "Why is it all carried by this handsome brother?"
Gu Zhuo awkwardly avoided her gaze.
Thinking his little cousin was young and hadn’t been to school, he assumed she wouldn’t notice anything and dared to face her again. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Tuanzi simply continued, "Miaomiao understands! You all have injured hands, so this brother had to carry the stuff."
Xu Yue touched his nose awkwardly, glancing at other senior students, unsure whether to agree or not.
This was a tradition in their department.
Some professors treated students like servants, senior PhD and graduate students bossed their juniors around.
Having juniors run errands, buy goods, and even subtly compelling them to treat others were common practices.
Had it not been for the program filming at the small supermarket in Zhu Family Village, the seniors would have made Gu Zhuo pay for everything.
Actually, he was in the same cohort as Gu Zhuo, initially one of those bossed around, but upon joining the ranks of seniors, only the youngest, Gu Zhuo, got bullied.
Initially, he thought such behavior was inappropriate, but unless a student was extraordinarily talented and adored by a professor, favorable projects were often reserved for seniors.
If seniors were willing to share, juniors might gain some achievement, but if not, juniors had to devise their own ways to secure a good project. But, without resources, juniors often struggled to find good projects.
Graduate and PhD student life was far more complex than his undergraduate days.
Amidst his musings, Tuanzi had already approached Gu Zhuo and extended her hand, "Big brother, Miaomiao will help carry."
Gu Zhuo shook his head, "I can manage."
Tuanzi ignored him, continued, "Actually, Miaomiao is just a child. But what choice do I have when those uncles and brothers over there have injured hands? To care for those with physical impairments, Miaomiao has to step in."
The people she mocked suddenly turned pale.
But they couldn’t refute her.
If they denied being injured, how could they explain unloading everything onto Gu Zhuo?
Moreover, this little girl was on a program. If she disclosed this matter, their image might be affected. Plus, some students recognized Tuanzi as the recently popular Little Heroine and wouldn’t want to mess with her.
A third-year graduate student forced a smile, took over a few bottles of drinks Gu Zhuo carried.
"We carried them earlier, we were tired, and he volunteered to help. Now that we’ve rested, it’s time for us to take them."
As he took a portion of the items, others also took them, soon, Gu Zhuo was relieved of the load.
In that moment, Gu Zhuo vaguely figured his cousin noticed something, hence her earlier remarks. Otherwise, as his sweet and adorable cousin, she wouldn’t speak so sarcastically.
Realizing this possibility, he felt touched yet embarrassed, lowering his gaze, not daring to meet Tuanzi’s eyes.
Tuanzi warmly took his hand, confidently addressing the others, "Miaomiao will escort you back, and we hope to visit your place later."
At this point, the only middle-aged man present commented, "You can’t just approach archaeological sites."
"We won’t approach, we won’t approach," Tuanzi promised, "We just want a distant glance. Isn’t a distant glance allowed?"
The middle-aged man was at a loss.
As long as it didn’t interfere with work, such observation was, of course, permitted.
In fact, archaeological sites were frequently watched. When they first arrived, villagers from several nearby villages came to watch.
Once the novelty wore off, villagers stopped coming.
Tuanzi continued smiling, "The program crew will visit too. We’ll come to see you often."
Come often to ensure you’re not bullying my cousin!
The students who often ordered Gu Zhuo around immediately became tense.
However, they soon relaxed.
It would just be for this period. Once back at school, they would decide how to bully this junior as they pleased.
