Chapter 33: Lifting a 10,000-pound boulder with one hand?
……
………………
Let's rewind half an hour.
As the gathering in southern Jiangsu was drawing to a close, a huge argument was taking place at Shen Wenjing's home.
"Dad, I absolutely disagree with this arranged marriage. I will never let my daughter marry into the Su family!"
"Don't you know what his family situation is like? Su Yuanqiao is the same age as me, but his temples are all white, and he looks more than ten years older than me."
Su Nan's mother used to work in a cement factory, inhaling too much dust. Now, it's rumored that she may have tuberculosis, as she coughs frequently. Fearing she might die at the factory, they gave her some money and fired her.
"The Su couple are already in such a state, and you still want my daughter to marry into their family? Are you senile?"
Shen Tianfu's face turned red, and he slammed his fist on the table, shouting as he spoke, spittle flying everywhere.
"You unfilial son, what are you saying? We owe the Su family a life, and we must repay them with a life. This betrothal was arranged long ago; how can we go back on our word now?"
Shen Guoli sat in a chair, gripping his cane, the tip of which slammed into the ground with a thud. His old face was taut and flushed with anger as he spoke in a resolute tone.
"No, absolutely not!"
Shen Tianfu roared and continued, "We can give the Su family a sum of money as compensation, but my daughter is beautiful and has good grades. She is destined to marry into a good family in the future. I don't agree."
"You unfilial son, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Shen Guoli was so angry that he trembled all over, and his mustache stood on end.
"What I say is as good as gold. You got to this position in the village committee because of my military achievements."
The reason I'm still standing here alive is because my grandfather from Su Nan took a knife for me!
Otherwise, if I were gone, would you have your current position, being respected by so many?
Shen Guoli was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he could barely stand.
aside,
There was also a woman standing there, Shen Wenjing's mother. She quickly stepped forward to support Shen Guoli, while also offering words of advice.
"Dad, to tell you the truth, I want Jingwen to marry Shen Yuqi. His family owns a cement factory and is very wealthy. Jingwen will have no worries about food and clothing after marrying him, and he lives close to us. Moreover, I asked Yuqi's mother, and she is very satisfied with our Jingwen."
"You...you...you two are just materialistic and snobbish!"
Shen Guoli roared angrily, his eyes turning red.
"Dad, you're right. After all, people die for money, and birds die for food. This is an age-old truth."
The woman showed no embarrassment whatsoever; after being pointed out to her face, she remained calm.
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
The woman's expression softened instantly when she saw it was her daughter calling, and she quickly answered the phone: "Jingwen, what's wrong?"
"Mom, is Grandpa here?"
Shen Wenjing's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, yes."
The woman quickly agreed and handed the phone to Shen Guoli.
the other side,
Shen Guoli put the phone to his ear with a stern face. He was about to say a few words to persuade his granddaughter when he heard Shen Wenjing's voice clearly coming from the other end of the line, without the slightest hesitation.
"Grandpa, I don't want to live a hard life. Don't impose the grudges of the previous generation on me. I am the victim."
"And if you asked me to choose Shen Yuqi or Shen Jianping, I'd be willing, but not Su Nan."
"Granddaughter, you're too materialistic. You shouldn't have such thoughts."
Shen Guoli's right hand holding the phone trembled suddenly, his mouth opened slightly, and even his beard shook.
"Grandpa, this society is realistic. People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill. I want to strive for higher positions, and that's not wrong."
Shen Wenjing's voice was firm.
"If the Su family really wants to hold a grudge, even if I should have a lifespan of sixty years, I would be willing to lose twenty years of my lifespan."
I'd rather live only forty years than toil my whole life.
beep...
The phone hangs up.
Shen Guoli almost lost his balance, the phone slipped from his hand and he slumped heavily back into his chair, muttering repeatedly, "What kind of world is this... What a tragedy... What a tragedy..."
The woman next to her sighed upon seeing this.
"Dad, people like you who value loyalty and righteousness are extinct in this world. If they still exist, they are all first-class protected animals."
That's just how the world is. I'm a woman, and I understand Jingwen very well.
The woman picked up the phone and gently advised him.
Saying.
at the same time.
into the night,
Jiangcheng,
The wind in Zhongshan Park carries the dampness of the grass and trees, and feels slightly cool on the face.
The starlight scattered sparsely, landing on the three-person-high landscape stone in the center of the lawn.
On the stone surface, four large red characters, "Zhongshan Park," were painted, their color fading slightly from wear and tear.
Su Nan stood beside the stone and first touched its cold surface.
He dug his fingertips into the ridges at the bottom of the rock, his arm sinking slightly.
Without a deafening sound or a ferocious bulge of veins, Su Nanping simply lifted the massive rock, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, flat.
"Huff huff..."
The wind blew past Su Nan's ear. He glanced down at the light stone in his hand, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
As expected of the divine strength to carry mountains and move swiftly, the legendary ability to carry two mountain peaks and chase the sun is now only 10% complete, yet it already possesses such terrifying power.
He loosened his grip slightly, and with a muffled "boom," the boulder fell back onto the lawn. The hard ground trembled three times, and a large section of the turf was crushed down, with broken stones rolling all over the ground along the base of the boulder.
The tremor startled the dense holly bushes nearby, silencing them instantly.
A couple who had been clinging to each other in the bushes, the man's hand still resting on the clasp of the woman's strapless top.
The woman tilted her head back and let out soft moans, her whole body stiffening in fright from the sudden tremor.
His eyes, which had been rolling upwards, were now filled with panic.
The boy, who had been so confident and assertive in his fighting spirit, suddenly went limp on the spot, almost developing post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Wha...what is that? An earthquake?"
The boy's voice trembled as he frantically pulled his pants back.
The girl panicked as well, hurriedly fastening the clasp on her bra. The zipper of her little leather skirt squeaked as it was pulled, the sparse rustling of the fabric particularly clear in the quiet night.
"What's going on?"
The two hurriedly dressed and peered out from the gaps in the trees, trying to see what had happened.
Under the streetlight, the boy in the blue and white school uniform was saying something, and you could vaguely hear him saying:
"I just used both hands, and it felt so light. Now let's try using only one hand!!"
While the couple was still wondering what "two hands" and "one hand" meant, they saw the boy bend down.
He stretched out only one hand, his five fingers gripping the bottom of the boulder. With a gentle lift of his arm, the massive rock, which even six cars might not be able to move, was lifted above his head with one hand and held steadily in mid-air without the slightest sway.
The two people in the bushes froze on the spot.
His mouth was so wide open it could fit an egg.
Two pairs of eyes widened in surprise.
My blood felt frozen.
Looking ahead at the dreamlike scene.
My mind went completely blank.
