There was no other way but to run away. Liu Yinyin wanted to flatter Jiang Ci and use the gossip of these aunties and grandmas to confirm that the person who tried to molest Widow Wang that night was Zhou Lao Er.
That's how gossip works. Who cares if it's true or not? As long as the rumor spreads, it will spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and eventually, some people will believe it.
Jiang Ci used to spread rumors about her like this. Liu Yinyin was just using the same methods Jiang Ci had used on her instead. She hadn't done anything wrong.
Jiang Ci ignored her completely, insisting on pointing out the flaws in her words. Liu Yinyin knew that arguing further would not bring her any benefit, but would only worsen the villagers' impression of her. So she could only wipe away her tears and run away looking wronged.
The group of middle-aged women kept clicking their tongues in amazement.
Jiang Ci has completely turned her life around. How come I never noticed how eloquent she was before?
Jiang Ci, who was good at talking, snorted inwardly. Instead of sitting back down, she went to look around.
I happened to see a little kid running along the road, carrying a basket on his back.
"Erzhu! Didn't you and your brother take Yangyang and Miaomiao to cut pitcher plants?"
Erzhu called out with a grin, "Aunt Jiang, I'm going back to get the basket. Yangyang found a huge patch of wild strawberries! We're going to collect them!"
"Don't go yet. Call your Uncle Zhou over and tell him I need to talk to him." Jiang Ci patted Erzhu on the shoulder. "If you do a good job, I'll treat you to your uncle's stir-fried cicada nymphs tonight."
Erzhu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard there was food. "Great! Aunt Jiang, don't worry, I guarantee I'll get this done for you!"
After saying that, Erzhu took off running.
What wild strawberries?
What's so delicious about wild strawberries?
Cicada nymphs must taste even better!
It was Uncle Zhou who made it.
hiss!
It must be delicious!
Erzhu's eyes sparkled, and he disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Ci smiled, looked around, picked up a stick at random, swung it around to test it out, and said, "Hmm, not bad."
Holding the stick, Jiang Ci slowly returned to her original position.
An older woman asked, "Jiang Zhiqing, why are you picking this up?"
"For self-defense," Jiang Ci replied with a smile. "If some clown gets provoked and comes looking for trouble, I'd better be prepared to fight back."
An older woman, confused, asked, "Huh? What's a clown?"
Jiang Ci said slowly, "After breaking through the defenses, the impotent rage of the person can only call on the clown as a savior."
Regardless of whether Liu Yinyin would bring people, Jiang Ci prepared the defensive weapons first, and then continued to distribute the seedlings.
She originally earned seven work points for delivering meals. After she reached ten work points, the extra work was to pay off her debts. She didn't slack off and did her job well.
The older women couldn't understand what Jiang Ci was saying, but they could easily grasp her meaning.
This means that Liu Yinyin might call someone over!
"What? Liu Zhiqing wouldn't be sending someone over, would she?"
"No way! Liu Zhiqing has always been a respectable person, how could she do such a thing?"
"That's right. Besides, it was just Liu, the educated youth, talking nonsense. How dare she call people over to cause trouble for Jiang, the educated youth?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking that Liu Zhiqing, being a respectable person, would not send anyone.
As they were working, they suddenly heard a shout.
Aunties, young men, and young wives, turn your heads immediately!
Eyes wide open like saucers, staring at the intersection—
Xia Lei walked over with a gloomy face and an angry expression.
"Oh my! Xia, the educated youth, is here!"
"They really did it to avenge Liu Zhiqing!"
"Good heavens! Jiang Zhiqing! You'd better run!"
How could a petite woman like her possibly beat a man like Xia Lei?
Run away quickly!
Everyone urged Jiang Ci to run away quickly.
Xia Lei's purpose was clear: he came straight for Jiang Ci. He was over 1.8 meters tall and had a strong build, like a moving mountain or a lion in a rage!
In conclusion, to sum it up!
Xia Lei is in grave danger right now!
Jiang Ci squinted her eyes and sat there without moving. She watched Xia Lei rush over like a whirlwind. His face was full of anger. He walked up to Jiang Ci and raised his foot, wanting to kick her away.
"Oh my god!"
"Xia, what are you doing! You can't hit people!"
The older women shouted, hoping that Xia Lei could control his temper.
What a joke! How can you take back a foot that's been kicked out?
There's no way he could pull his foot back!
Xia Lei's eyes flashed with a ferocious look, and his gaze toward Jiang Ci was extremely ruthless.
To his surprise, Jiang Ci's expression remained unchanged; she neither retreated nor avoided him.
strangeness.
The thought flashed through Xia Lei's mind for a moment, and the next second, he felt a pain in his leg!
Xia Lei's foot didn't even touch Jiang Ci!
Just as Xia Lei was about to kick Jiang Ci, someone hit Xia Lei's leg hard with something first, causing Xia Lei to lose his balance and fall down!
"Well done, Uncle Zhou!!"
This was Erzhu's excited shout.
Zhou Mingli and Xia Lei arrived here one after the other!
He stared menacingly at Xia Lei, who had fallen to the ground, without saying a word. He released his weapon, grabbed Xia Lei by the collar, and punched Xia Lei in the face with a thud!
The onlookers hissed.
As the male lead, Xia Lei certainly wouldn't let himself be beaten like that. He quickly reacted, and his strong physique allowed him to push Zhou Mingli away with a burst of strength. Xia Lei sneered, "You two, husband and wife, are really something!"
He rolled up his sleeves and charged at Zhou Mingli!
