"I was just asking casually. I heard you were a sent-down youth. You're working in the village, so why did you decide to sweep the streets in town? Also, you didn't just finish cleaning the toilets, so you still smell bad, right?"

Qin Yaxin wasn't particularly familiar with Song Jiaojiao, but because of her connection with Song Lan, and because Song Jiaojiao had encouraged Song Lan to divorce Qin Yanzheng, Qin Yaxin wasn't entirely unfamiliar with this annoying person.

Yes, Qin Yaxin labeled Song Jiaojiao as a "nuisance," pretending to be innocent and naive, intending to ruin her older brother's marriage. Now, looking disheveled and smelling terrible, Qin Yaxin found herself increasingly happy with her appearance.

I wish I could say a few more sarcastic and mocking things.

"Get away!"

Song Jiaojiao gripped the broom and chased people away.

"What can you do about it if I'm not leaving?"

Qin Yaxin hopped and skipped away, chattering incessantly: "You must have done something wrong, otherwise you wouldn't be cleaning toilets and sweeping the streets here. Song Jiaojiao, why don't you tell me what you did to get yourself so filthy?"

If those male educated youth who knew you knew this, they'd probably cover their mouths and noses and stay far away from you whenever they saw you, otherwise, they'd be suffocated by your stench!

Have you said enough?

Song Jiaojiao really wanted to scold Qin Yaxin, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that the police officers would find out and subject her to extra ideological education and labor reform. With these concerns in mind, she could only angrily rebuke Qin Yaxin, not daring to utter a single swear word.

"I'm just keeping you company because I don't want you to be bored. A few words won't do! Song Jiaojiao, since you came to the countryside, why can't you learn how to farm properly from the farmers? Why do you have to make mistakes? Look at you now, you don't care about yourself, but I do!"

"I don't know you well, so stop with your fake kindness!"

Song Jiaojiao glared at Qin Yaxin with annoyance. She remembered this incident and would deal with the little bitch when she had the chance! With a fierce determination, Song Jiaojiao decided to ignore Qin Yaxin and continued sweeping the street.

"You're my sister-in-law's younger sister. I genuinely care about you. How could you misunderstand me? Song Jiaojiao, you've hurt me so much!"

Qin Yaxin spoke sarcastically, secretly amused by Song Jiaojiao's ever-changing expressions.

Be careful, too much joy can turn into sorrow!

Song Jiaojiao was so angry that she muttered something under her breath, but Qin Yaxin still heard it. Her expression turned cold: "Are you cursing me? Song Jiaojiao, you'd better understand that this is a new society. We don't have that kind of feudal superstition anymore. If you dare to curse me again, believe me, I'll report you to the police station."

"Don't wrong people, I'm just reminding you."

For such a trivial matter, you have to go to the police station to report her. Does she think the police station is run by her Qin family?

Song Jiaojiao rolled her eyes inwardly, but it would be a lie to say that she was not afraid of what Qin Yaxin said. Based on this, she dared not say another word against Qin Yaxin.

To prevent Qin Yaxin from going crazy and adding charges against her at the police station!

"Remind me? Song Jiaojiao, do you think I'm stupid!"

Qin Yaxin sneered: "You look harmless, but you're actually a black-hearted devil. Otherwise, you wouldn't have advised my sister-in-law to leave our Qin family and marry a big idiot!"

Luckily, my sister-in-law is smart and didn't listen to your family's nonsense. Now, she and my brother have a great relationship. I'll have her come to town to see you sweeping the streets later."

To avoid keeping her companions waiting too long, Qin Yaxin gave Song Jiaojiao one last good look, and said with a half-smile, "I won't disturb you any longer as you continue to serve the people. I'll come to see you again when I have time!"

Song Jiaojiao pretended not to hear, but in her heart she kept saying "Get lost!"

However, Qin Yaxin left, but just as she had said, for the next four days, she would go out of the school every afternoon during the long break to "bump into" Song Jiaojiao and make sarcastic remarks.

This undoubtedly infuriated Song Jiaojiao, who was determined to get revenge.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't see Song Jiaojiao in town today."

"The police station only gave her five days of ideological education and labor reform. Today is the sixth day, so naturally you won't see her in town anymore." Song Lan was making dinner when Qin Yaxin came home from school.

She went into the kitchen to help, and was sitting in front of the stove tending the fire. Thinking about how she hadn't seen Song Jiaojiao on her during the afternoon break, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Song Lan was somewhat helpless, but still explained the reason. Finally, she said, "Second sister, I remember telling you not to get close to Song Jiaojiao, lest she hold a grudge because of what you said. If she really takes a liking to you, you might fall into her trap one day. Have you thought about what to do then?"

"I...I just don't like the look of her!"

Qin Yaxin felt guilty. She had actually kept Song Lan's instructions in mind, but recently, every afternoon during the long break, she would habitually go out of the school gate and make a few sarcastic remarks to Song Jiaojiao, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.

"If that's the case, why appear before them in the first place?"

Song Lan shook her head inwardly and said, "Song Jiaojiao is quite shrewd."

"Does my sister-in-law think I'm naive?"

Qin Yaxin asked.

"Do you think you're cunning?"

Like a little fool, spoiled by her family and a bit vain, where would she get the cunning? If she did, in the original story, she could have stolen her classmate's clothes, altered them to make them her own, been discovered, felt too ashamed to face anyone, and chosen to end her life?

"I'm actually quite smart."

Qin Yaxin tried to save face for herself.

"Being smart doesn't mean being cunning."

Song Lan said, "Anyway, in my opinion, you and Song Jiaojiao are not on the same level."

"I'm not afraid of her schemes!"

Qin Yaxin stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove and said, "After practicing martial arts with my sister-in-law for a while, I feel that I have become much stronger and my moves are also much more swift."

"You still can't even maintain a stable lower body, how dare you boast so shamelessly?"

Song Lan shook her head while laughing.

"Dealing with Song Jiaojiao will definitely not be a problem."

Qin Yaxin's cheeks flushed red, and she dared not look at Song Lan anymore. She withdrew her gaze from Song Lan and pretended to be seriously tending the fire.

“You don’t need to do anything to scheme against me.”

Hearing Song Lan say this, Qin Yaxin opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

"I've already offended Song Jiaojiao, what should I do?"

Qin Yaxin frowned: "Sister-in-law, does she dare to kill me?"

"Anything is possible."

The human heart is unpredictable. Even in today's society governed by the rule of law, some people still break the law and commit murder and robbery. After all, when a person becomes truly ruthless, they don't think too much.

If this person were more cunning, they would certainly not leave any clues, thus creating potential problems for themselves.

"Sister-in-law..."

Qin Yaxin felt panicked.

"Um?"

Song Lan was puzzled.

"After hearing what you said, I feel scared."
