Qian Yanhong was so frightened by Jiang Qiao's gaze that she took two steps back. She had never known that a person's gaze could be so terrifying, which made her feel a little scared.

Everyone knows what kind of character the Qian family's children have.

"Such a young age and already lying through his teeth, I don't know who he took after. Stealing and robbing at such a young age, what will he be like when he grows up..."

Jiang Qiao didn't care what everyone said about the mother and her two children. As long as she achieved her goal, that was enough. In fact, she herself felt a little sad. How could she, a dignified special agent, be framed by these three lowlifes? Where could she go to seek justice?

It's really strange how God didn't give her an adult body. Why is she shrunk into a child's body? What kind of situation is that?

Seeing that Jiang Qiao and Song Lianfeng were about to leave, everyone called them back. They all wanted to give Jiang Qiao what they had picked out of their baskets. They couldn't help with anything else, but giving her some coal would make things easier for the child.

Jiang Qiao shook her head and bowed to everyone. "Aunties and grandmas, thank you for your kindness. I've collected quite a lot today, enough for my grandma and me to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed). I have hands, and I believe that as long as I work hard, I can definitely take good care of my grandma. I'll be going now, see you tomorrow."

Jiang Qiao had other things to do. In the past, the old lady helped people deliver babies and at least had some income, but now that the old lady was like this, she couldn't earn money for a while, so she had to deliver the cardboard boxes she had pasted before and pick up some more.

Although she was very reluctant to do these trivial things, she had no choice but to continue step by step given the current situation.

The little girl's memories are incomplete, and she doesn't know much about what happened outside, so for now she can only be cautious and not let others notice her abnormality.

She wasn't afraid of being captured. With such a treasure as her spatial ability, she really wasn't afraid. She could just find a place to hide and it would be difficult for anyone to find her.

However, she didn't want to live that kind of life. In her previous life, she had only studied and fought against the Japanese. Now that she had a chance to live again, she wanted to enjoy life to the fullest.

While delivering goods, she glanced at the pedestrians on the street. They all looked very energetic and spoke with great confidence. Judging from their voices and the content of their conversations, they seemed to be full of hope for life.

Especially when interacting with the people delivering the goods, she could feel the simplicity and sincerity between people, and their attitude was particularly good.

After learning about their family's situation, the other party settled their wages in advance and suggested that Jiang Qiao go to the local street office, since they were the families of martyrs and the organization would definitely find a way to help them if they were in financial difficulty.

“Jiang Qiao, go back and talk to your grandma about this. You’re not just causing trouble for the country. You’re already in such a difficult situation, you can’t just tough it out. If your family had even one able-bodied person, things wouldn’t be like this.”

Jiang Qiao expressed her gratitude for the other party's kindness, but she still felt awkward asking the neighborhood committee for help.

She could just take those words with a grain of salt; if the old lady really had that idea, she would have asked for help long ago.

Without the bombing raids, the strafing and indiscriminate arrests by the Japanese, Jiang Qiao felt incredibly content on his journey. This was the life a person should have.

"Jiang Qiao, you stop right there!"

Jiang Qiao turned her head and saw three teenage boys walking out of the alley. They all looked fierce and menacing. After figuring out who they were, a playful smile appeared on Jiang Qiao's lips.

She recognized these three brothers; they lived in the same compound, and she had a lot of memories of how they bullied Xiao Jiang Qiao.

A few days ago, Wang Tiezhu and Li Meilan brought their eldest son to their home, saying that they felt sorry for the grandmother and grandson. They had many sons and wanted to adopt one for the old lady so that they could take care of her in her old age and see her off when she died.

However, Wang Dahua did not agree at the time. She was already struggling enough to support her granddaughter, let alone have another child.

Besides, she knew the Wang family's children well; they were all morally problematic. She would be a fool to invite trouble upon herself.

Jiang Qiao glanced at them disdainfully, too lazy to say a word, and simply left.

Seeing that Jiang Qiao ignored them, Wang Jinsuo grabbed the basket on Jiang Qiao's back and said, "You brat, you've gotten too bold. You've been asking for a beating for a few days."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his second brother, Wang Yinsuo, came up and prepared to kick Jiang Qiao.

The moment Wang Jinsuo grabbed her basket, Jiang Qiao was already prepared. She turned around, crouched down while holding the basket, and with a sweeping leg kick, both of the brothers were knocked to the ground by Jiang Qiao.

Wang Tongsuo could hardly believe his eyes. He rubbed them and opened them again. His two older brothers were indeed lying on the ground.

"You bitch, you're asking for it—"

After saying that, he pounced on Jiang Qiao. Dealing with Wang Tongsuo, who was about the same age as her, didn't take much effort at all. With one kick, the other man fell flat on his face.

The two older brothers lying on the ground initially couldn't believe that Jiang Qiao would fight back. It was beyond their expectations that the two of them together couldn't defeat Jiang Qiao.

Seeing their younger brother suffer, the two of them scrambled to their feet and pounced on Jiang Qiao together. Unfortunately, Jiang Qiao was no longer the timid little girl she used to be. Dealing with the three of them was easy for her, as she used clever tactics. Her current small body was clearly malnourished, and she might not have the upper hand in a head-on collision. However, using some tricks made all the difference.

"Well done!"

Not far away, Zhao Jianjun saw that Jiang Qiao had dealt with those few rascals from the Wang family. He was surprised and couldn't help but clap and cheer. Du Chunming ran over quickly, kicked Wang Jinshuo, and asked Jiang Qiao with concern.

"Qiao'er, did they bully you again?"

Du Chunming's care warmed Jiang Qiao's heart. This boy, who was a year older than her, usually took good care of her, so Jiang Qiao really relied on this older brother.

He smiled and shook his head. "Brother Chunming, I'm fine. Why did you come over?"

Du Chunming took the basket from Jiang Qiao's shoulder without saying that he was worried. "I was out for a stroll with Jianjun, and this just happened to be the case."

Zhao Jianjun walked over, sneered at the three Wang brothers, and said, "Now you know what it means to kick a hornet's nest, right? Serves you right. You better watch out from now on. If Chunming and I see you bullying Qiao'er again, we'll beat you up every time we see you. Get lost—"

This was the first time Wang Jinshuo had suffered such a great loss in front of Jiang Qiao, and he was truly resentful. However, with two more people involved, he really didn't dare to make a move again. He couldn't afford to offend Du Chunming and Zhao Jianjun, as he had a large group of older brothers and sisters at home.

He scrambled to his feet, grabbed his younger brothers, and ran away as fast as he could, but before leaving, he didn't forget to make excuses for himself.

"You brat, I'm not going to argue with you today, but you better watch out in the future."

Du Chunming pretended to chase after him, which scared the three Wang brothers so much that they jumped up and ran away, afraid of being beaten if they were too slow.
