"You don't know the situation of that mother and son; this matter isn't that simple!"

"How complicated could it be? Besides, I'm not some weak woman who can't even kill a chicken. Don't worry, I can protect myself. You don't need to get involved in this!"

"Alright then, but if you need any help, be sure to come to me immediately!"

"Thank you, I will!"

Xiao Chengyi smiled, a hint of warmth appearing on his previously cold face.

"Let's go for a walk by the river!"

Jiang Xile shook her head. She didn't want rumors to spread in the village tomorrow just because she took a walk today. It was fine if she had run into someone outside before.

This time it's at the entrance of the educated youth settlement, so I should be more discreet. Besides, she doesn't have any other feelings for Xiao Chengyi, so it's better to keep my distance.

"I'll skip the walk. I just remembered I have some things to finish, so I'm heading back now. Goodbye, Comrade Xiao!"

Goodbye!

Sensing Jiang Xile's rejection, Xiao Chengyi felt somewhat disappointed. Did he really have no chance?

"Why!"

With a sigh, Xiao Chengyi went to the riverbank alone. However, when he passed by the grove of trees, he keenly spotted Zhao Dagou hiding there.

Seeing his furtive manner and recalling Jiang Xile's daily walks, Xiao Chengyi suddenly seemed to understand something.

A silent rage surged within him. How dare this man? No, he had to teach Zhao Dagou a lesson!

How dare he covet his woman and attempt such despicable means! Zhao Dagou must be punished!
