What's the use of having a bicycle?

"You can't even ride!"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned red.

Why should Wan Ping'an be rewarded with a bicycle?

Why not give the reward to their family?

How do you know I can't ride?

Wan Ping'an smiled.

"You've never even touched a bicycle before, of course you can't ride one!"

Jia Zhangshi took two steps back.

She was afraid Wan Ping'an would hit her!

"What would you do if I knew how to ride?"

Wan Ping'an's smile widened even more.

Wan Ping'an, who was born and raised in the courtyard house, had indeed never touched a bicycle, let alone knew how to ride one!

But he came from another time.

Before traveling through time, I rode a lot of shared bikes.

How could someone not know how to ride a bicycle?

"If you can ride, I'll... I'll..."

Jia Zhangshi acted on impulse and hadn't thought things through at all.

"Then crawl back!"

Xu Damao was always eager to see more excitement and things get out of hand.

"That's a good suggestion, Jia Zhangshi. If I could ride a bicycle, would you climb back from here? Are you willing to take that bet?"

Wan Ping'an's smile faded.

The Wan family and the Jia family have a grudge. Given the chance, he will deal with the Jia family and avenge his predecessor!

"Who says I don't dare?"

"I'm already going to win anyway, and you can't even ride!"

"If I lose, I'll crawl back. But what if you lose?"

Give me your bicycle!

Jia Zhangshi stared greedily at the bicycle.

"Jia Zhangshi, it's not dark yet, it's not time to sleep, why are you already dreaming?"

He Daqing made sarcastic remarks.

The children also pointed and whispered among themselves.

"Please be quiet for a moment and let me say a few words."

"I've accepted Jia Zhangshi's bet. I'd like everyone to be my witnesses. Sir, is it alright if I ask you to oversee its execution?"

Wan Ping'an wanted to drag Yi Zhonghai down with him.

"this..."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Wan Ping'an, somewhat hesitant to agree.

He was certain that Wan Ping'an had never touched a bicycle in his life, let alone rode one. He was sure Wan Ping'an would lose the bet.

But he had a bad feeling.

He had a premonition that Wan Ping'an would win!

"Grandpa, what are you hesitating for?"

“You’re the eldest man in this courtyard house. You absolutely cannot let the loser renege on his debt.”

Madam Jia became anxious.

She wanted Wan Ping'an's bicycle.

She was 100% certain that Wan Ping'an would not ride a bicycle.

"Okay, I'll be a witness and I'll also make sure the loser fulfills the agreement!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

Wan Ping'an smiled!

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Uncle He, Uncle Xu, and all the neighbors in the courtyard, please be witnesses and supervise this together!"

Ping An included everyone in the hospital.

The agreement is complete.

Everyone makes way.

"Wait, Wan Ping'an, be careful."

"You mustn't break our bicycle."

When Wan Ping'an wanted to ride a bicycle.

Jia Zhangshi suddenly called a halt.

"What do you mean by 'your bicycle'?"

"It's my bicycle!"

Ping An was amused.

"It's ours!"

"You can't ride a bicycle, you're doomed to lose. If you break it, you'll have to fix it!"

Jia Zhangshi was very confident.

Jia Dongxu remained silent, sharing a similar uneasy premonition with Yi Zhonghai.

When Jia Zhangshi made the bet.

He tugged at Jia Zhangshi's clothes from behind, reminding her not to make the bet.

Wan Ping'an is a smart man and would never make a bet he is sure to lose. If he has made a bet, he must have at least a 90% chance of winning!

When pulled once, Jia Zhangshi did not react.

After being pulled twice, Zhang Xuehua still hadn't reacted.

Jia Dongxu thought Jia Zhangshi hadn't noticed, so when he pulled for the third time, he used a little force, and as a result, Jia Zhangshi kicked him backward.

He got it.

Jia Zhangshi was bewitched and obsessed with Wan Ping'an's bicycle.

Risks were not a consideration for Jia Zhangshi!

"Okay, I broke it, but I'll definitely fix it. Can you let go now?"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

Jia Zhangshi nodded.

Reluctantly letting go of the bicycle, she smiled broadly, her face beaming. Soon, her family would have a bicycle, a brand new bicycle!

Jia Zhangshi let go.

Wan Ping'an pushed the bicycle, put his left foot on the pedal, and straddled it with his right leg, getting on the bicycle amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd.

Very slow!

When riding a bicycle, it is more difficult to maintain balance the slower the speed.

Ping An rode his bicycle up, slower than walking normally, to the middle courtyard, then circled around and returned to the back courtyard.

"Jia Zhangshi, did you see that?"

Can I ride a bicycle?

Wan Ping'an looked at Jia Zhangshi with a smile, intending to make her crawl back from the backyard.

"You, you, how could you possibly ride a bicycle?"

"It must be fake!"

Jia Zhangshi refused to believe it.

snort!

Wan Pingan turned his bike around and rode to the front yard.

As he rode back, he suddenly accelerated, speeding through the air when he reached the backyard.

"Oh no! I'm riding too fast and I can't stop! Get out of the way, everyone get out of the way, or I'll crash into you!"
