Chapter 86 Tearing Off the Face

The moon, with its bulging eyes, twisted its handkerchief and glared angrily at the doorway, its head brimming with some wicked idea.

Grandpa Jiang exhaled a smoke ring, coughed a few times, and said, "Awu, your mother won't harm you. Yun'er spends money recklessly and doesn't have a sense of proportion when doing things. She'll be fine if you discipline her properly in the future."

The Jiang family is a one-man show; when the old man speaks, Jiang Wu has no choice but to nod and agree, even if he is unwilling.

Meanwhile, at the Chestnut Village Clinic, three people were enjoying their dinner.

"Yunxia, ​​your cooking is really good, even better than the chefs at the factory canteen."

Whether it was the effect of the green water or the boy's naturally large appetite, this was already the third steamed bun, and he showed no sign of stopping.

"Ha, you're a reincarnated starving ghost! Even a piglet like Yunxia can't eat as much as you!"

"Hey, Jiang Chao, stop with the personal attacks!"

"Sorry, I don't know why, but I just feel really hungry!"

"It's alright, these were prepared for you anyway."

After dinner, the three chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Chao got up to say goodbye and was about to leave with Yun Xia when the doctor stopped them, saying that the patient needed to stay with him at the hospital.

The three stared at each other, unable to decide who should stay with them.

Village chief? No way, that smell would kill someone!

Yunxia? No way, the village is ignorant. Spending the night alone with a boy would be enough to break your spine.

"Ahem, I can manage on my own. You two go back and rest. Come see me again tomorrow."

"No, someone has to stay with you at the hospital. I'll ask someone to call the village chief right away."

Bai Ye's pupils dilated, clearly disapproving of the decision. Yun Xia tugged at someone's sleeve, signaling him to speak.

Jiang Chao rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "What a traitor! I'll stay!"

Bai Ye knew that Jiang Chao disliked him, but he had no other choice at the moment. He coughed lightly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble young Jiang!"

After confirming the person to accompany her, Yunxia gave some instructions and then turned to leave the clinic.

Back at the Jiang family home, yawning and pretending to be sleepy, she politely declined Jiang Wuye's invitation to catch cicada nymphs at night and went back to her room to sleep.

I had barely closed my eyes when I heard someone come in, rustling and rummaging through things. Then, with a snap, they turned on the light bulb and raised an eyebrow at the 'mouse'!

"Jiang Yue, what... are you doing?"

The girl snorted coldly, threw down her handbag heavily, raised an eyebrow, and said arrogantly, "Hmph, don't think that just because you're from the city, you're superior to others. I'm Brother Chao's own sister, I grew up eating food from the same pot. You almost drowned to save me back then. You... are just an orphan!"

These words made Yunxia laugh in anger. "Oh, not pretending to be an innocent little rabbit anymore? Jiang Chao said that he felt so disgusted by you that he couldn't eat. Otherwise, why would he be willing to live in a clinic that smells of disinfectant rather than come back? It's because you're here."

Jiang Yue grabbed a bucket of soybeans from the table and hurled it at Yun Xia, who slightly sidestepped and dodged it.

Soybeans were scattered all over the ground, bouncing around with a clattering sound.

"Ha, is that all you've got?"

"You vixen, I'll scratch your face until it's covered in bruises."

As he spoke, he bared his teeth and claws and attacked, but unexpectedly, he slipped and fell face-first into the mud, and his arm was also cut by the edge of the table.

"Hey, what are you two doing inside?"

"Waaah, Mom, it hurts, it hurts so much! Blood! Will it leave a scar?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dahong rushed forward, hugged Yue'er, and angrily said, "Tai, Yue'er is your future sister-in-law, how could you be so cruel?"

Yunxia picked at her ear, displeased, and said, "Little sister-in-law! Auntie has made a mistake, hasn't she?"

"Mom, Xiaxia just arrived and I was worried she wouldn't be used to it, so I came over to ask if she needed any help. But she swore at me, spewed filth, threw soybeans at me, and pushed me down. Waaah, someone like that... should never be allowed into the Jiang family."

The girl's cries attracted the Jiang family. The 'bloody' scene made the old man so angry that he kept hitting his cane.

"A jinx! She's only been here a day and the Jiang family has already suffered a bloody disaster. A woman like that must never enter the Jiang family. Ah Wu, remember that, stay away from a woman like that."

Yunxia: I bet the whole family has delusions.

"I had just fallen asleep when I was woken up by the sound of things being rummaged through. When I turned on the light, I saw Jiang Yue going through my bag. Before she could say a few words, she started throwing soybeans at me. I was still lying in bed. If I wanted to reach the soybeans on the table, my arms would have to be three meters long."

Judging from the situation inside the house, Yunxia's account is more credible, but the Jiang family is protective of their own, and Jiang Yue's innocent and naive image is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

"Pah! Yue'er is sensible and well-behaved. She would never do something like rummaging through other people's things. Don't pin the blame on her." Jiang Wu glared and said angrily.

“Sister Xia, it’s an undeniable fact that Yue’er is injured. You should apologize for both reason and emotion. As for medical expenses and lost wages, I won’t ask you for them since we’re relatives,” Jiang Nan said magnanimously, tucking a stray hair behind her ear.

"Waaah, it hurts, it hurts so much! Mom, Xiaxia doesn't like me, and she's talking badly about me behind my back to Chao-gege! Waaah, she's a special guest, I can't neglect her! I... I'm leaving!"

As she spoke, she deliberately showed off her scratch and pretended to leave. Liu Dahong hurriedly stopped her, "Yue'er, my child, she's been bullied, and she only dares to cry secretly. Her father... say something!"

"Ahem, guests are guests. It would be bad if word got out that a whole family was bullying a little girl!"

"Jiang Zheng, you're talking nonsense. Just because she lives at Lifang's house doesn't mean she has to be disciplined by the Jiang family. Humph! Fighting with her sisters and ruining food, she's punished by facing the wall to reflect on her actions for a night without being allowed to sleep."

Upon hearing this, everyone present, except for Yun Xia herself, nodded in agreement.

"Dad, I'll go back to the room first to apply medicine to Yue'er!"

After the mother and daughter left, Old Man Jiang, with a stern face, told Yunxia to pick up the soybeans on the ground, then go to the courtyard to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. Afterwards, he leaned on his cane and walked away unsteadily.

“Yue’er is the youngest in the family and is very much loved. Yunxia, ​​you’ve picked the wrong person.” After saying that, Jiang Nan dragged her father and Jiang Wu away.

Wow, the case's solved! The Jiang family in Chestnut Village... they're all crazy!

He got out of bed, put on his shoes, squinted at the soybeans scattered on the floor, and finally picked up his handbag, dusted it off, packed his belongings, and quietly left the Jiang family home.

Chestnut Village, clinic, ward!

One was lying in bed reading, the other was lying on the floor in a daze. The two didn't exchange a single word. Apart from the rhythmic sound of turning pages, people would believe that no one was in the room.

Carrying large and small bags, Yun Xia lifted the curtain and came in. Under the shocked and bewildered gazes of the two, she pushed Jiang Chao aside and plopped down on the straw mat.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, giving Bai Ye a hostile look.

"Oh, I've fallen out with the Jiang family. The village doctor said I can stay in the ward for free, and stay as many days as I want."

"Ha, aren't you afraid the illness will transfer to yourself?"

The little girl shook her head, then brought over a straw mat, bent over, wiped it clean with a wet towel, let it dry, and began to lay out the mat.

The boy closed his book and said worriedly, "Yunxia, ​​you have a good personality. Running away from home must mean you were bullied by the Jiang family. Tell me about it, and I'll get justice for you."

"Bai Ye, her own brother is right here. What business is it of yours? Yun Xia, tell me quickly, what despicable thing have those bastards done this time?"

Ugh, is it really okay to address your own relatives like that?
