Chapter 150 Self-taught

Because Shang Shiying and Li Chengzhang were present, Jiang Zhizhi didn't have a chance to speak to Li Yuanchao alone.

But seeing that he was still full of energy, I was relieved.

She and Zhou Xiye didn't see Li Simin until they left, so she must have been unwell and gone to bed early.

Zhou Xiye didn't say a word the whole way. Jiang Zhizhi thought he was tired, while she was busy thinking to herself that Deng Feiyang's mouth was so dirty that he should clean it up.

After the two arrived home, washed up, and lay down, before Jiang Zhizhi could say anything, Zhou Xiye spoke first: "You are not allowed to take Li Yuanchao to find Deng Feiyang."

Jiang Zhizhi paused for a moment, then looked at Zhou Xiye lying flat on his back, resting her chin on her hand: "But Li Yuanchao was also injured because of me, I can't just let it go like that, it would seem very unfair. Don't worry, I won't be like them, running off to fight like a brute."

Zhou Xiye turned to look at her: "You want to find a dark and windy night to put a sack over Deng Feiyang's head?"

Jiang Zhizhi chuckled. Her initial plan was this: there was no reasoning with someone like that.

Besides, she's not his mother, so she has no obligation to guide him onto the right path. She can just resort to violence to stop violence.

Her teacher used to say that her thoughts were dangerous, and that she had a rebellious streak despite weighing 100 pounds.

Zhou Xiye said helplessly, "This doesn't solve the problem at its root. Have you thought about it? If he gets caught in a sack, the first people he'll suspect will be Li Yuanchao and his group, and then they'll try to retaliate."

"In the end, who will suffer the most? Besides, Xiao Chuan and Yuan Chao's fights are just childish and playful, while Deng Feiyang's group fights with their lives on the line. If something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret it."

Jiang Zhizhi thought about it and realized it made a lot of sense: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Zhou Xiye stared into her eyes: "Defeat them in one move, and they'll never have a chance to turn things around."

"Let me think about it."

Jiang Zhizhi mumbled as she lay down, and after a couple of minutes of silence, she got up again, leaned over and lay on top of Zhou Xiye, cupping his face and giving him a good squish: "This time, you're right. We really need to think things through carefully and not let our compound suffer."

As she spoke, she kissed Zhou Xiye like a little woodpecker, again and again.

Finally, as expected, Zhou Xiye flipped her over and pinned her down, taking advantage of her in return.

Jiang Zhizhi hugged the blanket and kissed it repeatedly, feeling her lung capacity getting stronger and stronger.

Moreover, Zhou Xiye seems to have learned to be quite unrestrained without any instruction; his hands have even become more unruly!

After laughing, Jiang Zhizhi secretly touched her slightly sore chest, then stuck her foot into Zhou Xiye's bed and kicked him: "Don't be so rough next time."

Although it was just a small taste, Zhou Xiye was quite satisfied. He lay flat, adjusted his breathing, and listened to Jiang Zhizhi's coquettish anger. A laugh escaped his throat, and he even hummed in agreement.

...

The next morning after breakfast, Zhou Xiaochuan accompanied Zhou Xiye to the hospital to change his dressing, while Fang Hua took Jiang Zhizhi to the service center.

Some of the food at home is specially supplied, and the logistics department will deliver it to our home every two days.

For some vegetables, you need to buy them from the service center, which costs much less than buying them at the market.

If you don't want to cook, there's a cafeteria where you can get meals for your whole family.

Fang Hua took Jiang Zhizhi to buy groceries so that she could learn how to choose vegetables and plan what to eat at home every day.

In the past two days, she discovered that Jiang Zhizhi was probably spoiled by Jiang Zhenhua and his wife. In the past, the Jiang family only had this one child, and they never had to worry about food. So when she was picking vegetables, if she saw a wormhole, she would throw away the whole leaf.

She didn't keep much of the bok choy she had.

So, we need to teach her how to live her life.

On the way, Fang Hua hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Zhizhi, although your family is much better off than the average family, your father has some relatives in the countryside who come over during holidays. Your father is very concerned about his reputation, so he not only makes sure they eat well, but also carries some rice and flour back with them before they leave."

Jiang Zhizhi didn't quite understand Fang Hua's meaning: "Can't we just not give it to him?"

Fang Hua sighed: "Life is hard for everyone, especially in the countryside. Your father is a very sentimental person."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "I didn't realize that Dad, despite his fiery temper, is also very warm-hearted and kind."

Just as Fang Hua was about to speak, he suddenly realized that Jiang Zhizhi had steered the conversation off course, so he quickly returned to the main point: "What I was trying to say is that we still need to be careful with our money. Look at those greens, it's okay if they have wormholes, as long as they're not yellow, they're edible. Also, don't cut off so much of the cabbage root every time."

Jiang Zhizhi then realized that Fang Hua was trying to teach her how to save money.

He quickly nodded: "Mom, I'll be more careful in the future."

She secretly admired Fang Hua's tolerance; he didn't embarrass her to her face, but spoke to her privately afterward.

This makes it much easier for people to accept.

Fang Hua glanced at Jiang Zhizhi and sighed inwardly. This child is always cheerful and never argues with anything. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

When I went to the service center, I happened to run into Chen Limin walking out with her daughter Song Man.

Chen Limin seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness on the shuttle bus that day, and greeted Fang Hua with a smile: "Bringing Zhizhi to buy groceries?"

Fang Hua smiled politely and said, "Yes, I bring her out for a stroll whenever I have time."

Then she glanced at Jiang Zhizhi, who immediately gave Chen Limin a sweet smile and said, "Hello, Aunt Song."

Chen Limin glanced at her daughter, who was as stiff as a wooden block beside her, and felt resentful. Fang Hua had won again, and even her daughter-in-law was so polite.

She still tried to save face: "Xiaoman has been working overtime these past two days. She just got back from her night shift and hasn't slept well, so her brain isn't working properly. She doesn't even know how to greet people."

Fang Hua smiled nonchalantly: "It's alright, Xiaoman is busy with work, I understand."

Chen Limin immediately replied, "That's right, I haven't had a break for several weeks. Today I finally have a day at home. But it's worth it, I was just promoted to deputy editor-in-chief these past two days."

Song Man couldn't stand her mother's blatant boasting, so she frowned and called out softly, "Mom..."

Chen Limin ignored her and finally managed to turn the tables: "Oh, you don't know, I'm actually a little envious of you. Look at Zhizhi, she doesn't have a job and can stay home with you every day. It's so nice of her. Now I can hardly even see Xiaoman."

Jiang Zhizhi saw Fang Hua straighten his back in an instant, but his expression didn't change much: "Xiaoman is really amazing, but I don't want Zhizhi to be so amazing, then when will I be able to hold my grandson?"

Chen Limin's expression changed, and she was about to speak when Song Man pulled her back, saying, "Let's go, let's go home quickly."

Fang Hua wasn't interested in continuing the conversation with Chen Limin: "Okay, you guys hurry back. We also need to go buy groceries. Nishino and Ogawa will be back in a bit."

Jiang Zhizhi suppressed a laugh as she watched Fang Hua and Chen Limin arguing, and also secretly observed Song Man.

This woman, whose expression had been tense ever since she saw her and Fang Hua…
