Chapter 59: Blind
"What are you looking at? I'm different from you now. I work in the army, while you can only deal with these stinky fish forever and smell like stinky fish all your life."
The military wives were so angry that they pointed at her nose and retorted, "You silly girl, why are you so proud? I heard that you were doing odd jobs in the army. Do you really think you are a soldier's family member?"
"My husband is a serious soldier. I deal with these fish because I feel sorry for him, so I want to do more work and earn more money."
"As for your motives in getting close to those soldiers, you know it in your heart. But I warn you, it's okay if you talk to those unmarried men, but if you dare to set your sights on those married men, I will tear your mouth apart."
Several military wives looked at Su Lanqiao angrily, but Su Lanqiao only laughed more wildly. She gathered her hair behind her ears and said in a sly tone, "I can't guarantee that. I didn't mess with your men. But I'm young and beautiful, and it's perfectly normal for someone in the army to like me and pursue me. I don't know if they're married or have families."
"If your men set their minds on me, don't blame me. It's you who are not taking care of your own men."
When the military wives heard this, they were about to explode with rage. "You little bitch! In the past, since you were young, we could have just given you a few verbal lectures, but you still dare to be so ignorant and say these things in front of us. I can see that you have never suffered any physical pain."
"That's it... Sisters, teach her a lesson and let her know who's boss in this place!"
Just as these women were about to step forward, Su Lanqiao's face changed. She was a little frightened at first, but when she saw a familiar person appear in her peripheral vision, her eyes immediately turned red and she became aggrieved.
"What are you doing? I just told you a few truths, and you're going to hit me? You're military families, and you're not afraid of bringing shame upon your husbands or of them getting punished by the military district by doing this?"
Xie Yunfeng originally wanted to come over to tell Su Lanqiao about the news about the jade pendant, but he never expected to see this scene in front of him.
He immediately walked over with a nervous expression, protecting Su Lanqiao behind him, and stared at these military wives with a fierce look, "What are you going to do? Are you going to beat anyone up when no one is around?"
The military wives looked at Xie Yunfeng with some disappointment on their faces.
"You're so blind, you're still protecting this vicious woman. You don't even know what nasty things she just said."
"This little girl is a liar, and she even wants to seduce us men. If it were someone else, who wouldn't be angry after hearing these words?"
"We only gave her a few verbal lectures before, but she never learned her lesson. If we don't teach her a lesson today, she'll really become a little too arrogant."
Xie Yunfeng turned his head to look at Su Lanqiao, "What's going on?"
She bit her lip, looked at him pitifully, and held Xie Yunfeng's arms with both hands. "I don't know. I didn't say those words."
"They insisted on accusing me of seducing their men, but I said I didn't have that intention right now. I just wanted to work hard and get out of here as soon as possible. Okay, rescue my parents."
"They insisted that I was deliberately trying to curry favor with you, and that I... and they asked if there was any difference between me and those women who were lying naked on the bed?"
"Brother Xie, I know my family is down and out, but I'm still a girl from an innocent family. I couldn't stand hearing them insult me like that, so I started arguing with them. Who knew they were going to attack me? There were several of them, and I was alone. If you hadn't shown up just now, I would have been beaten by them."
Su Lanqiao turned the tables, and the military wives widened their eyes. If Su Jinhui was here, she would definitely admire her eloquence, and she could change people's judgment with just a few words.
"You...you damn girl, that's not what you just said!"
“That’s enough!”
Xie Yunfeng's face darkened. He looked at the military wives and said sternly, "From now on, don't bother Su Lanqiao anymore. She's not the kind of girl you imagine. She comes from a good family and would never do such a despicable thing."
"From now on, I, Xie Yunfeng, will take care of her affairs. If I find out again, you guys will beat her up and scold her in private. Don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, he directly pulled Su Lanqiao away.
The military wives stamped their feet when they saw Xie Yunfeng's back, "Oh my, this silly boy!"
"I don't even know I'm being used!"
"That little girl dared to say such things at such a young age. This young man doesn't know how badly she has fooled him."
The two of them came to Su Lanqiao's cabin, and Su Lanqiao poured him a glass of water. "Thank you, brother, for what you did just now. However, my conditions are not very good. I don't have anything to eat or drink, just boiled water."
This was the first time that Xie Yunfeng came to where she lived. Others who came to the countryside to work in the fields basically lived in large bunk beds, but she had a small wooden house.
It was also because Su's parents felt sorry for her suffering here, so they used their connections to get it for her. However, they probably didn't expect that Su Lanqiao would be able to cause trouble in this fishing village and be targeted.
But when she looked at the environment where Su Lanqiao lived, she found that there was really nothing decent there, and she felt sorry for her, a girl, living in such a place.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Su Lanqiao shook her head. "Don't say that. I'm the one who should be thanking you."
"By the way, why did you come to see me just now?"
"I observed Su Jinhui today, and she did have your mother's relic hanging around her neck. If this thing is so important to you, why don't I help you get it back."
Su Lanqiao's eyes moved. She did want to, but given Su Jinhui's personality, she would definitely not give it to her. The key point was that she couldn't really prove the ability of this pendant now.
Although she could still remember the dream that night, she had never personally understood the power of the pendant, so she didn't dare to make a rash bet.
"Don't worry. After all, I gave this pendant to my sister. If I suddenly ask her for it back, she might think I'm stingy. It's okay to leave it with her for now."
"One more thing, Brother Xie, can you help me find out what my sister has done since she came to this island? Has she suddenly done a lot of things that have contributed to the island?"
Although he didn't know why she wanted to know this, Xie Yunfeng couldn't think of any other place.
"like…"
"I heard that he and the Women's Federation have researched several types of medicinal soaps, and some of the medicinal ingredients are not available on our island. It is said that her core formula is made of some undisclosed medicinal ingredients. As for where she got these medicinal ingredients from, I don't know."
After hearing this, Su Lanqiao became obviously much more excited.
