Chapter 151 Taming
Song Man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Perhaps because she worked with words, she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked refined and elegant.
Jiang Zhizhi had heard Zhou Chengyu and Fang Hua mention this name before, so she paid more attention to it today.
I noticed that Song Man's expression was tense, which was probably why she didn't greet Fang Hua earlier.
...
Fang Hua watched Chen Limin and Song Man walk away before taking Jiang Zhizhi to pick out two bunches of green vegetables and a piece of tofu.
On the way home, Fang Hua was teaching Jiang Zhizhi again: "Everyone in this compound is very cunning. You must remember this: don't tell anyone everything."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mom, I remember."
Fang Hua couldn't help but mutter again, "Chen Limin wasn't like this before. She probably wanted Song Man to marry Xiye, and she's upset because she didn't succeed."
Jiang Zhizhi's gossipy little flame was ignited: "Mom, didn't a lot of people want to marry Zhou Xiye before? Does Song Man like Zhou Xiye?"
Fang Hua was still a little proud: "Yes, although Xi Ye is not home most of the year, there are many girls in the compound who like him. I don't know if Song Man likes him or not, but for a while last year, she asked several neighbors to talk about it, and I didn't agree to it."
Jiang Zhizhi was even more curious: "Why?"
Fang Hua snorted: "Just based on Chen Limin's attitude towards Song Dong's marriage, I can't agree to it. She'll definitely be a meddlesome mother-in-law in the future."
Jiang Zhizhi immediately gave a thumbs up and praised, "Mom, you are really wise and insightful."
Fang Hua laughed and scolded, "Alright, stop being so cheeky."
But I was actually happy inside. Who doesn't like affirmation and praise?
At noon, Zhou Xiye and Zhou Xiaochuan did not return. They sent someone to tell them that they had some business to attend to and that they did not need to wait for them to eat.
In the afternoon, only Zhou Xiaochuan returned; Zhou Xiye was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Zhizhi sat in the living room reading and waiting for Zhou Xiye. When she saw that only Zhou Xiaochuan had returned, she asked, "Where's your brother?"
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't want to talk to Jiang Zhizhi, but thinking about his brother's attitude towards her, he coldly said, "My brother has something to do."
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Xiaochuan, whose eyes were dark and swollen, but didn't bother with him and continued reading.
Zhou Xiaochuan looked around and saw that only Jiang Zhizhi was at home. He poured himself a glass of water, sat down opposite Jiang Zhizhi, and gulped it down in one go.
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi was reading a book on military theory, and she seemed quite engrossed in it, I was a little skeptical: "Can you even understand it? Just keep reading."
Jiang Zhizhi ignored him. She was reading this book not to show how much she loved learning, but because there were really no other books to read at home.
They are all books on various ideologies, or quotes.
In comparison, she still prefers watching this.
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi was ignoring him and was a little angry, Zhou Xiaochuan got up and reached out to snatch the book from her hand: "Hey, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me... Ah!!!"
Before his hand even touched the book, Jiang Zhizhi grabbed his wrist, flipped it over, pressed his wrist against the sofa armrest, and then pinched his palm upwards.
My palm was almost touching the inside of my wrist.
Zhou Xiaochuan screamed in pain, "It hurts! Let go! Let go now!"
Jiang Zhizhi didn't let go, calmly sitting on the sofa, looking up at him: "Who were you just now? Who were you talking to? And you even tried to snatch my book, who taught you to be so disrespectful!"
Zhou Xiaochuan felt like his wrist was about to break and began to beg for mercy: "It was my fault, I won't take your book anymore, okay?"
Jiang Zhizhi used a little more strength: "Then who am I?"
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"
Zhou Xiaochuan hurriedly said that it wasn't that he didn't want to have backbone, but that it was just too painful.
Jiang Zhizhi released her grip with satisfaction: "If you dare to act tough in front of me again, I really will teach you a lesson."
She paused for a moment, her eyes serious and firm: "After all, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother."
Zhou Xiaochuan rubbed his wrist and sat back down on the sofa. He moved it around a few times, but it still ached slightly. When did Jiang Zhizhi get such strength?
And what's more, I actually begged for mercy just now, how embarrassing!
Jiang Zhizhi looked at his still unconvinced expression and scoffed, "You think you can join the army and go to the battlefield? The enemy hasn't even attacked you yet, and you're already raising your hands to surrender. Your brother is a hero, but you're a coward. Aren't you ashamed?"
Zhou Xiaochuan said something, but couldn't come up with a rebuttal, and went upstairs sulking!
Zhou Xiye did not return until evening.
Fang Hua set aside some food for him, and the family began to eat.
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Xiaochuan, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Xiaochuan, could you please get me a spoon?"
Zhou Xiaochuan was about to say, "Don't you have hands?" when he met Jiang Zhizhi's threatening gaze with a smile. He could only get up and go to the kitchen to get a spoon and hand it to Jiang Zhizhi.
Fang Hua was still a little puzzled. Why would Zhou Xiaochuan listen to Jiang Zhizhi today?
Zhou Xiye had not returned by dinner time.
Jiang Zhizhi took a shower and went back to her room to lie down and read a book while waiting. She waited until midnight, her eyelids drooping, but Zhou Xiye still hadn't returned.
I decided to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
I was in a daze and didn't know what time it was. I felt Zhou Xiye come in and then gently lay down on the edge of the bed.
Jiang Zhizhi smelled a familiar scent, the cold aura of Zhou Xiye. She turned over and muttered, "What time is it? Why are you only coming back now?"
But I was so sleepy that I didn't want to open my eyes, but my hands and feet would reach into the blankets next to mine, and I would roll over there on my own.
With her eyes closed, she first reached out and touched Zhou Xiye's chest, then skillfully lifted her leg up, avoiding his injured leg.
I found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
Zhou Xiye felt helpless. He wanted to talk to her about something, but seeing her like this, he decided to wait until tomorrow morning.
If I wake her up, I'll be the one who suffers.
The mind is rational, but the body is out of control.
Touching her soft hair, he carefully pulled her off him, then leaned down and kissed her lips...
Jiang Zhizhi woke up feeling well-rested, stretched, and felt a stinging pain in her chest. Pulling open her collar in confusion, she found a red patch on it!
I reached out and scratched my head. Was there a flea in the house?
He got up suspiciously, then thought of something and clicked his tongue a few times in his mind. He decided to go back and ask Zhou Xiye for some interest.
After washing up, Fang Hua had already prepared breakfast and called Zhou Chengzhi and Zhou Xiye, who were chatting in the yard, to come back for dinner.
Jiang Zhizhi sat at the dining table, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Zhou Xiye, then pointed to the white steamed buns in front of her.
Zhou Xiye instantly understood Jiang Zhizhi's implication and helplessly sat down next to her.
Just as Fang Hua was about to speak, Zhou Xiaochuan rushed back from outside: "Brother, brother, that Deng Feiyang had his teeth knocked out, his arm was crippled, and then he was arrested!"
