[Exploration][Exploration] Zhou Zhibai was a notorious bully in the capital's compound, known for his sharp tongue and haughty nature. In the eyes of the Zhou family, he was someone even a dog would disdain. After smashing four people's heads with a brick, the Zhou family patriarch decided to send him to the countryside. The frail and delicate Zhou Zhibai, with red eyes, declared fiercely, "Fine, since you're sending me to the countryside, don't regret it. I won't be coming back. I'll get married and have children there. I want to marry a country girl, I..." The patriarch suppressed a laugh and replied, "Okay." Zhou's mother promptly withdrew her outstretched foot.
