"Chen Xiaoliu, come here!" Chen Xihua frowned slightly and pursed her lips. She saw Chen Baohua standing in the corner with his head down, his whole body trembling slightly!
"Huh?" Chen Baohua raised her head, her eyes red, her face pale, and she looked dejected, like a pitiful little girl who had been abandoned, looking at her fifth sister at a loss!
"I called you over here, what?! Did you hear me say I was going to break your legs, and now you don't want to acknowledge me as your sister anymore? As the only brother in the family, a real man, shouldn't you be ready to go through fire and water, even get hurt, to support your five sisters? What's with your grief?"
Chen Xihua deliberately acted fiercely. It wasn't that she hadn't noticed Chen Xiaoliu's strange behavior, but she hadn't had time to pay attention to his little emotions. What a sentimental little guy! If she had spoken to him gently and comforted him, he would have cried out of grievance!
"Fifth Sister, you, you..." Chen Baohua's eyes lit up, unable to believe it. He walked awkwardly to Chen Xihua, head down, and was gently stroked on the head by his fifth sister. He was instantly healed and cried out, "Waaah, Fifth Sister, I thought, I thought you hated me and didn't want me anymore!"
"You want to abandon me? You're my only brother. Even if I beat you to a pulp or make you cry, you're still our brother. We'll still need you to support us in the future. What, you don't want to?" Chen Xihua raised her voice slightly, raised her eyebrows, and curled her lips into a smile.
"Yes, yes, Fifth Sister, I'm willing! I'll stand up for you all! I'm not afraid of getting hurt!" Chen Baohua cried and laughed at the same time, his mouth wide open in a silly grin. It turned out that Fifth Sister hadn't abandoned him after all!
"Silly boy! Go to Grandpa Qin's house yourself and tell him I have something to do today and won't be practicing calligraphy. You practice by yourself for two hours before you come back, understand?" Chen Xihua pretended to be serious.
"I know, I'll go right now!" Chen Baohua wiped away her tears with her hand, then went to the bathroom to wash her face, turning back to look at herself every step of the way. When she came out and passed by Chen Xihua, she suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Fifth sister, you were just trying to scare Father and Mother, weren't you? You wouldn't have the heart to break my legs!"
Chen Xiaoliu noticed that his fifth sister suddenly froze and tensed up. He guessed right and was so happy, just like eating the osmanthus honey in his mother's osmanthus cake!
Chen Xihua was momentarily stunned, then said fiercely, "Get lost!"
Chen Baohua's cheerful voice came back: "Okay! I'm off!"
Li Yumei watched as Xiaobao skipped out the door, not even bothering to say hello. Her face turned pale, and she looked utterly dejected. Even her son wasn't on her side! Why was her life so miserable? She had given birth to six good-for-nothings!
Before leaving, Chen Xihua gave Li Yumei a cold look. Her second sister, Chen Jinhua, also looked over, but with a puzzled expression. What was her fifth sister looking at? Then, she strode out with her fifth sister, leaving the others in the dining room confused. They looked at each other, puzzled.
After a cup of tea, Li Yumei and her husband also went to the pastry shop to earn money. Now, having nothing else is more important than making money.
With the five thousand yuan she had in hand gone, and the marriage she had arranged for her eldest daughter about to fall through, thankfully it was only verbal and not yet finalized. Just now, the fifth daughter's gaze was as cold as a knife, and Li Yumei trembled slightly.
She was furious; she went to her uncle's house that very night to demand money!
A black minivan was parked at the intersection of a road in the northern suburbs of the county. The window was open and there was no one inside. However, on the right side, which was blocked by the minivan, a man and a woman could be vaguely seen talking.
"Fifth Sister, is that them? Let's go over there quickly!" Chen Jinhua's eyes were excited. He straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and acted like a fighting rooster, ready to rush over and start a fight!
"Second sister, wait! It must be them. Let's be careful and go around from the left and behind. Let's hear what they have to say!" Chen Xihua grabbed her second sister, who was getting a little carried away, and covered her mouth to stop her from shouting.
Then, the Chen sisters tiptoed slowly to the side of the van where no one was and secretly listened for a while!
"Sister Ying, are you sure the pastry shop owner will let her daughter come with us?" A very young man's voice, probably not yet twenty, was a little hoarse, likely from recent puberty, and he asked worriedly.
"Yes, that woman Li Yumei values money a lot, and yesterday I gave her two thousand yuan as a sweetener!" The woman called Sister Ying had a slightly seductive voice and was probably in her forties, speaking with great confidence!
"If the third daughter of the Chen family finds out that she's not going to be a nanny, won't she call the police?" The young man was still worried. He thought to himself, "Isn't this a lie?"
"No way, I've met her. She's just an ignorant girl who loves money, and she loves pretty clothes. She loves dressing up and being beautiful. Which of the girls in our club didn't start out desperate, but were eventually seduced by money? Girls from small rural towns are the easiest to control!" Sister Ying laughed disdainfully.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" the young man asked again, a little uneasy, though he still had a conscience.
"It's alright, Xiao Maoshan. You've only been here a short time. You'll get used to it gradually!" Sister Ying patted Xiao Maoshan's shoulder and said meaningfully.
"Do we still need to give the other three thousand yuan to the pastry shop owner?" Mao Shan was out 'hauling goods' for the first time, so he didn't know much about it.
"Of course we'll give it to her! Li Yumei likes money, so we'll give her money. Maybe her other daughters will come looking for us later! All five of her daughters are beautiful, especially her third daughter! She's a real beauty!" Sister Ying's voice was filled with amazement and sigh.
"Sister Ying, you're exaggerating! Is there really such a beautiful girl? A real beauty! She's only fifteen or sixteen! My sister is also sixteen, very cute, but unfortunately she's sick!" Mao Shan's sister is also very pretty, but she's in the hospital and has lost all her hair; she's thin and small.
"She's very beautiful. You'll see when you meet her. She has alluring peach blossom eyes, fair and moist skin that shines. Don't let her age fool you; she's under sixteen and very well-developed. Her breasts and buttocks are very tempting, and her waist is amazing. Even I, a woman, am a little envious!" Sister Ying laughed flirtatiously, her tone light and flirtatious.
"When the time comes, those rich young men will definitely compete to bid for her virginity, and they might even be willing to spend hundreds of thousands!"
"Really? How much money will Brother Liu reward us with?" Mao Shan's eyes lit up, and he bit his lip, looking both anxious and expectant!
"Are you short of money right now? You look so anxious!" Sister Ying asked in surprise, tilting her head to look at Xiao Maoshan, a young man who had just arrived at the club. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, honest and simple, a good accomplice in deceiving people!
“My sister is sick and needs a lot of money. The doctor said it’s leukemia and there’s no cure. I don’t want to give up. She’s such a lovely and kind girl!” Mao Shan recalled, his face changing slightly. He was sad and scared, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. He couldn’t live without his sister, otherwise he would be all alone!
"Then how did you get to our club? It's so far away!" Sister Ying didn't seem too moved by what she heard, her expression remaining indifferent, but she changed the subject.
“My hometown is far away. I was learning to drive in my hometown county town. The county's transportation team was short of a driver, and the leader's nephew took the place. So I asked a fellow villager to take me out. He said that hotels and clubs are the easiest places to make money in big cities! I want to make a lot of money to treat my sister!” Mao Shan’s face showed a bit of resentment, but then he became very determined. He would not give up on saving his sister!
"It's alright, our club makes money very easily. You can work hard with us from now on!" Sister Ying was satisfied. This little Maoshan had a strong desire for money. Although it was for his sister's medical treatment, it was fine as long as he was troubled by money!
"Not bad, your club is doing really well. One speaks with an accent from the outskirts of Beijing, and the other speaks with an accent from the southwest. You've got people all over the country, you must be scamming them! You've even come here as a brothel owner!" Chen Xihua stepped forward and said calmly. She was certain that these two were specifically targeting people to work as hostesses in hotels and clubs!
"Who are you?" The woman called Sister Ying feigned surprise, turned around, her expression unchanged. Two pretty young girls stared at Chen Xihua and her sister with their eyes wide open. She showed no panic or fear at being eavesdropped on. The woman was in her forties, with dyed yellow hair and a perm, dressed very fashionably.
"Haven't you investigated our Chen family thoroughly?" Chen Xihua pretended not to see the woman's burning gaze and smiled calmly!
"Sister Ying, these are the Chen sisters!" The man named Xiao Maoshan blurted out nervously, not knowing how much the two girls had heard on the other side of the car. He looked flustered, not yet twenty years old, with dark skin and a big white tooth when he spoke, seemingly honest and simple!
"What's the rush! It's Miss Chen! Where's your mother? Isn't Miss Chen San coming?" Yingjie said calmly, smiling and warmly trying to get closer to them, starting a conversation!
"You've taken a fancy to my third sister? Do you think she's very pretty and has a great figure? How does she compare to those prostitutes in your club?" Chen Xihua's eyebrows furrowed slightly, cutting straight to the point. This woman was trying to play games with her!
"What are you saying, young lady! You should know about propriety and morality, right, Yu Mei? I can help her teach her daughter a lesson!" Sister Ying raised her eyebrows, looking very serious, and started lecturing, taking the initiative!
Chen Jinhua and Mao Shan, who were standing next to Chen Xihua, blushed a little after hearing what Chen Xihua said, and looked around.
"Ms. Ying, do you think that because we have no evidence and that you are doing things covertly, skirting the law and not taking any action, the higher-ups won't care about you? And you're so brazen about it."
"Do you dare to do this openly? You don't dare! So stop talking nonsense, I've already called the police, and I hope you never show your face in Gaoyang County again!" Chen Xihua felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly, but she still held back and said slowly.
"Your mother took two thousand yuan from me. I can tell the police that your family cheated me out of money!" Yingjie, that woman, still showed no sign of guilt, looking at Chen Xihua and the other woman with arrogance and smugness. Hmph, she really doesn't know anything!
"Here's your money back. Since you're so tough, then wait here! We'll be dispatched in half an hour!" Chen Xihua said as she took out two thousand yuan and, with a clever move, threw it directly at the woman. She was extremely arrogant. If the woman showed even a little bit of fear or weakness, she would lose!
"You little bitch, you have some nerve!" Yingjie was furious at this moment. Her eyes widened, revealing a fierce light, and she said in a sinister tone.
The two thousand yuan was all scattered on her and then fell to the ground!
She manages hundreds of young women at the club and deals with bosses from all walks of life. When did she get slapped in the face by a twelve-year-old, immature girl?
“I told you, although we don’t have evidence, you don’t dare to bring this up openly. Besides, your personal information can definitely be found by the police. Your club must be doing very well, with people coming and going. You can’t be some nobody!” Chen Xihua wasn’t intimidated and analyzed the situation logically and with evidence.
"Are you trying to say that you have powerful backers, money, and many wealthy businessmen who patronize your establishment, so you're not afraid? Then dare you say the name of Brother Liu from your club? I want to write it down so I can tell the police later!"
Who are you trying to intimidate! No matter the circumstances, even people with connections and powerful backers, who dare to do unscrupulous things, are still bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong! Therefore, Chen Xihua needs to appear even more fearless and emboldened, so that people might mistakenly believe that she, too, has powerful backers!
"You guys don't know this, but the police have been patrolling Gaoyang County much more frequently these past two years! I wonder if there's some important figure involved?" Chen Xihua said meaningfully.
Standing behind his fifth sister like a bodyguard, Chen Jinhua arrogantly declared, "That's right, don't you dare leave, just you wait and see!"
Anyway, if it came to a fight, those two definitely couldn't beat her and her fifth sister! In fact, she could take them all down by herself!
At this moment, Mao Shan, who had been picking up the money, had already gathered it all up! He didn't dare to say anything, and Ying Jie's eyes turned very gloomy.
"Xiao Maoshan, get in the car, let's go!" Yingjie's brows furrowed slowly, and she hesitated in her heart. Although she did not show it, she was a little uneasy. These two girls did not seem to be pretending to be unafraid of them. They were a bit unscrupulous!
Moreover, she did find that Gaoyang County was different from other counties. She heard that the county leaders or police chiefs here were very responsible. There were also many unemployed youths and petty thugs who gathered together, but no large-scale fights had ever occurred. Even if there were, they would be quickly suppressed.
Damn it, this trip was a complete failure, and we wasted half a month of our time. What a pity about that Miss Chen. I wonder if I'll have another chance to get my hands on her in the future!
The two men got into the van quickly. Mao Shan was in the driver's seat, ready to start the car and leave. Chen Xihua, who was standing outside and as tall as the van window, hesitated for a moment, but still leaned over and whispered a few words of advice in his ear!
"You must be a newbie, this is your first time out here. When you get back, leave those people at the club who are profiting off human suffering. Your sister definitely won't want to use the money you got by scamming a young girl like her. She's so cute and kind, isn't she!"
Mao Shan paused for a moment, then panicked for a second before driving away. In the passenger seat, Ying Jie tilted her head, her eyes flashing with a hint of ruthlessness, and asked him with an unreadable expression, "What did that little girl just say?"
"No, it's nothing, Sister Ying. She said you wouldn't give me much money, and told me not to trust you!" Mao Shan had worked hard in his hometown county since he was a child to earn money to support his family. He was simple-minded, but not stupid, and he understood what the little girl was saying!
Upon hearing this, Yingjie turned to look ahead and scoffed, "Sow discord! Little Maoshan, when we get back this time, I'll ask Brother Liu to send you a portion of your wages so you can send them back to your sister!"
She needs to make good use of Xiao Maoshan, this honest and simple man, who is the easiest to deceive some naive young girls!
Mao Shan feigned overwhelming gratitude, his voice trembling with emotion: "Thank you, Sister Ying!"
And at the intersection in the northern suburbs of the county
"Fifth Sister, what did you just say to that big idiot?" A cloud of dust rose up on the road, and Chen Jinhua quickly fanned her hands in front of her nose, watching the van drive away with great curiosity, and asked!
"Tell him that money is hard to earn and he shouldn't get scammed!" Chen Xihua thought her second sister was the one who was being silly.
I don't even know how to write the word 'fear'. I think she's a tiger. She's just a fox borrowing the tiger's power, and she's being arrogant and provocative. Does she really think she's invincible?
However, Chen Xihua also had to thank her second sister for her arrogant cooperation, which intimidated Yingjie and the other woman. She didn't actually call the police; Chen Xihua couldn't recall how severe the crackdown on such matters was at that time!
Sister Ying, she remembered. If she had the chance in the future, Chen Xihua would find a way to deal with that woman named Sister Ying.
Now that they've made enemies, these people are really beyond her ability to fight back. If they want to retaliate, she can call the police, but it's impossible to defend against them all. She can only take the beating or hide early on. Trying to fight back is like throwing an egg against a rock, with no chance of dealing with it!
Some people are ruthless and unpredictable, resorting to all sorts of extreme measures!
