Chapter 144: Thicker Than the Wall

When Zhang Junjie saw the girl he had a crush on appear, his heart was pounding, worried that the fact that he lost the money would be exposed.

"I remembered it wrongly. I lent the ruler to Wang Yuqing."

Aunt Niu looked at her son in surprise, "You lent it to her?"

Wang Yuqing looked at Zhang Junjie with disappointment and emphasized, "Aunt, I bought this ruler from Zhang Junjie for 1.5 yuan. I gave him the money. Now this ruler is mine."

Zhang Junjie didn't expect Wang Yuqing to tell the truth directly.

He lowered his head and dared not look at Aunt Niu.

"This is the last set of rulers in the supply and marketing cooperative. Zhang Junjie, are you just going to sell it to someone else?!"

As expected, what awaited Zhang Junjie was a scolding.

Zhang Junjie lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, "We are all classmates, and Yuqing said she would lend me the ruler, so I sold it to her."

Wang Yuqing did say this.

Aunt Niu was very disappointed with her son. She looked at her son and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Then she changed her mind and held back what she was about to say.

“It’s sold once it’s sold.”

Aunt Niu pretended to be generous, and her attitude towards Wang Yuqing improved in an instant. "Yuqing, this is the last set of the supply and marketing cooperative. Auntie knows that you are a good student. You should take care of Junjie more often. He is a slow thinker."

It's true. It would be great if a mother could share some of her brainpower with her son.

"Aunt, the ruler sold at the supply and marketing cooperative was 1.2 yuan, and your son sold it to me for 1.5 yuan. How come you made all the profit? Why does it sound like I got such a big advantage?"

Wang Yuqing is a straightforward person. "I am willing to be the scapegoat because Chen Junjie lost his tuition. I am willing to pay a high price for the ruler because I feel sorry for him."

"But you are actually wrongly accusing others, Chen Junjie, you are really not a man!"

Seeing his image in his sweetheart's heart collapse, Zhang Junjie pinched the seam of his trousers tightly and dared not speak.

Aunt Niu’s face was pale and her eyes switched between Wang Yuqing and Chen Junjie.

"What did you say?"

Wang Yuqing patiently recounted the entire story of Chen Junjie coming to her house.

Now everyone knew that Chen Junjie had lost the money due to carelessness, and was worried about being scolded when he returned home, so he had to sell various school supplies.

But he couldn't even get eight dollars with the school supplies, so Chen Junjie finally came up with the idea of ​​slandering people.

"And you still say this isn't blackmail?"

Xia Mi looked at Aunt Niu, "You come here to cause trouble for others with a clear conscience, but the thief is in your own home. It's true that no matter what year it is, you can always see the thief crying thief."

Aunt Niu was in the wrong and had nothing to say. She just stared at her son.

"Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back."

These words were almost forced out from between teeth.

Chen Junjie didn't say anything.

Aunt Niu returned the money to Carpenter Wei with a hypocritical smile on her face, "Carpenter Wei, I'm so sorry, it's my son's problem. The child is still young, please don't bother with him."

"Your child is small, but others' children are not small. You were so aggressive just now, and you looked like you wanted to eat the child. Why didn't you think about the fact that others are still children? Why did you bother with others?"

Xia Mi stood aside and secretly made the final move.

"It's none of your business. This is a matter between our two families. It's not your turn as an outsider to sow discord."

Xia Mi looked disgusted and silently rolled her eyes, "There's no need to sow discord between you two. Everyone knows what your attitude was just now."

"It's true that if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Auntie, you must educate your child well and don't let him follow your old path."

Xia Mi's words were very straightforward, making Aunt Niu feel ashamed.

"you!"

"What do you mean by 'I'? You can't even speak clearly. You were very sharp-tongued just now. How come you know that you have wronged an honest man? Are you so guilty that you can't even utter a complete sentence?"

Xia Mi chased after him closely, because that man had just called Black Panther a beast.

She has more vicious words waiting.

"You want to cover up the harm you just caused to the Wei family with just a simple apology. Your face is as thick as a city wall. It's too thick."

With Xia Mi's guidance, Wei Zifeng stood up and was unwilling to forgive Aunt Niu just like that.

"Yes, Aunt Niu, why should all those nasty words you just said be written off with just an apology?"

After these two sentences, Aunt Niu was put on hold, her lips trembling, "Then what do you want to do?"

What happened next was all about the Wei family. Xia Mi said she was happy and left with Black Panther.

Black Panther made a great contribution today. When he went back, he held his head high with a feeling of pride.

When Huo Jingchen came back, he also noticed that its condition was different.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Xia Mi shared what happened this afternoon with him and said, "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some pork ribs. We'll have pork rib soup tonight. Black Panther will also drink it and we can chew on the bones."

The black panther lying nearby barked, stuck out its tongue, and its eyes were bright and black.

"Are you not hurt?" After hearing what happened in the afternoon, Huo Jingchen looked at Xia Mi with concern.

"I'm fine. I haven't hit anyone yet."

Just as Huo Jingchen was about to look away, he noticed an obvious red mark on the back of Xia Mi's hand, which looked like it was caused by a scratch or a cut.

"Was the wound on your hand caused by a dog?"

Huo Jingchen lowered his head and picked up the black panther's right front paw. "Did you do this?"

Xia Mi laughed out loud and nodded, "I guess so. It was scratched by a dog."

Black Panther pulled his hand away and whimpered twice, as if in rebuttal.

Seeing Xia Mi's reaction, Huo Jingchen knew what was going on.

"Why are you fighting? Who are you arguing with?" Huo Jingchen stood up, walked to the stove and asked Xia Mi.

"It's not a physical attack, she just wanted the money so badly that she just robbed it."

From that time on, Xia Mi knew that Aunt Niu was not a good person. At least good people would not steal money. Good people would always present facts and reason.

Huo Jingchen's eyes were still filled with heartache, "Does it hurt?"

As he said this, he acted like a parent, wanting to take the bullied child to seek justice from the adults, but Xia Mi held him back.

"I just don't want to have any contact with that person anymore. Just think of it as me not checking the almanac when I went out."

Xia Mi opened the pot lid and thought of Chen Junjie, "Maybe they are playing women's singles right now, it's better not to disturb them. The child is too afraid of his parents and made this wrong choice."

Xia Mi didn't want Aunt Niu to beat the child even harder because of their arrival.

Huo Jingchen didn't mention it again. Seeing that Xia Mi had no intention of helping, he turned around and took Black Panther out.

When I came back, I had an extra tube of ointment in my hand.

When the bone soup came out of the pot, the fragrance wafted through the yard, and Black Panther's saliva flowed out, dripping onto the ground, forming a silver line.

Xia Mi couldn't stop laughing. "Wait a minute, it's still hot right out of the pot. I'll make you some rice after it cools down a bit."

She specially steamed a lot of rice today, thinking that Black Panther should be able to eat a lot of bone soup with rice.

The black panther had no choice but to follow his master into the living room and lie down obediently under the table, waiting for his master to finish his meal so that it could be his turn.
