"You're not going to pay compensation, huh? Then let's go." The police officers immediately handcuffed Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng with silver bracelets.
"I was originally thinking of giving you a chance to settle this privately, but I didn't expect your attitude to be so bad. Come with me, and you'll not only have to stay in there for ten days or half a month, but you'll also have to compensate them four hundred yuan, not a penny less."
The police weren't unreasonable. They didn't intend to arrest Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng directly, but they couldn't stand seeing their daughter being bullied like this, so they had to scare them a little.
"We'll pay...we'll pay..." Xie Chunmei cried uncontrollably as the silver bracelet was about to be placed on her wrist.
Seeing that they had relented, the police did not intend to detain them further. "We'll watch you pay compensation," they said.
Xie Chunmei sobbed and wiped away her tears as she went into the inner room. Her heart was bleeding as she looked at the four hundred yuan. She didn't want to give it, but she had no choice. Her reluctant gaze almost drowned Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue accepted the four hundred yuan without hesitation, saying, "If there's a next time, it won't be a matter of troubling the police, but a matter of troubling the judge."
“If you cause any more trouble, none of you will escape. I have money now, and I can sue you until you are bankrupt.”
After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she thanked the police again.
After watching the police leave, she and Ji Chen returned home together.
Ji Chen's expression was not good, because on his way back he went to the brigade headquarters and indeed the mountains and bamboo forests had been divided up, it seemed that Jiang Xue really was gone.
"I picked some mushrooms today. I'll go cook. You can tidy up the house."
Jiang Xue noticed that after Gu Xiaohei and the others finished work, the dishes on the table were left untied, and the cleanliness inside the newly built factory was a complete mess.
Jiang Xue thought she would cook first and then deal with the other things later.
"I'm not doing it, I don't have time." After saying that, Ji Chen sat down at the square table and busied himself with his own things.
Jiang Xue frowned. Had Ji Chen taken the wrong medicine today?
Ji Chen didn't take the wrong medicine; he just remembered Gu Xiaohei's words and ignored her for a few days.
Jiang Xue was too lazy to figure it out, so she started washing the mushrooms and cleaned all the hawthorns as well.
She cut most of the hawthorns into slices, and planned to dry them tomorrow so she could make them into tea for her two children when she had time. She said that as long as the children don't have indigestion, they're fine. Indigestion not only makes them more prone to illness, but also causes them to have a poor appetite.
Especially as Jiang Xue's living conditions gradually improved, the two little ones ate better and better, their cheeks were bulging and their complexions were rosy.
She also made some simple mini versions of candied hawthorns, which the two children thoroughly enjoyed.
It was getting late, so she made a simple mushroom noodle soup. When she returned to the main hall with the bowl, she saw Ji Dong tidying up. She frowned, puzzled.
But without thinking too much about it, he said, "Ji Chen, the noodles are ready. Go get them yourself."
"I won't eat." Ji Chen's voice was cold, so cold it was almost piercing.
Upon hearing this, Ji Dong was overjoyed. He didn't even eat the fragrant mushroom soup noodles, as if he had lost his mind. "Sister-in-law, I'll eat it."
"What are you eating? Did you clean up the mess I asked you to?" Ji Chen instantly got angry; none of them gave him any peace of mind.
Jiang Xue was quite grateful that Ji Chen had asked Ji Donglai for help, so she went to the kitchen and gave Ji Chen his portion as a token of her gratitude.
Ji Chen looked at the mushroom soup noodles that were served in front of him, pursed his lips, but still couldn't help but take a bite. Jiang Xue's cooking skills were always like this; once you tasted it, you couldn't stop. Soon, he finished the whole plate.
He threw the bowl on the stove and sat back down in his original spot.
Jiang Xue was a little confused. Why wasn't this guy washing the dishes today?
