What are you doing?
The ugly man, dragging his bleeding leg, hurriedly crawled to the village secretary's feet.
The village secretary frowned and scolded, "What are you three doing? Is what he said true, or is it another gambling debt collection attempt?"
"Wait a minute, haven't you two been focusing on your careers lately, doing really well? Why are you getting involved in their affairs?"
Aunt Zhou and her husband are always arguing, and everyone is used to it, especially her husband, who beats her at the drop of a hat, no matter how many times they tell him to.
Before Jiang Xue could explain, Wang Jing suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "This man is talking nonsense. He was the one who hit Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou had no choice but to take the knife to defend herself."
Jiang Xue looked around, wondering where Wang Jing had come from.
"Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes? Otherwise, I'll call the police and have them all go in with you." The village secretary's stern demeanor made Aunt Zhou extremely flustered.
"I'm sure, and it was Aunt Zhou's husband who held a knife to Aunt Zhou, but Brother Ji Chen saved her."
Jiang Xue was startled. In the original owner's memories, Ji Chen didn't seem to be familiar with her. Moreover, according to seniority, he should be her uncle. Why did something feel so strange?
"Look at you, you beat your wife all the time and we've told you to stop, but now you've actually started using a knife."
"No, it really is them trying to kill me, please save us!"
Jiang Xue had no hostility towards Wang Jing, but she always felt uneasy. What if this girl turned on her and bit her back? Then she would be finished.
"Yes, he's deliberately trying to get revenge on us. I sent him to jail yesterday, and he holds a grudge against me."
Jiang Xue quickly added, "Village Party Secretary, your village should know how to deal with someone like that, right?"
"That's for sure, I need to give him a stern talking-to."
The village party secretary grabbed Aunt Zhou's husband and was about to rush to the brigade headquarters.
Just before leaving, she seemed to suddenly remember something, "Jiang Xue, are you hiring recently?"
"Yes, did the village secretary have any female workers recommend him?"
"Could my wife go and help? My son is still sick, and she cries all the time. If she could earn some money, she could help my son get better sooner. That would be great."
Jiang Xue thought of Xie Xiaotian's abandoned fiancé, an honest and good man, who was lying in bed like this, feeling like he was living a life worse than death.
"Okay, come to my house in two days."
"Really?" The village secretary looked at Jiang Xue with a flattered expression.
"Of course! When she arrives, Aunt Wang will give her a good lesson."
"Okay, okay, thank you so much."
The village secretary then grabbed Aunt Zhou's husband even more fiercely, saying, "Go and write a proper self-criticism, or you'll be kicked out of our team, you scumbag."
When Aunt Zhou saw the village secretary leave, she collapsed to the ground, completely limp.
"Waaaaah..." She covered her face and cried loudly.
Jiang Xue squatted down and gently patted Aunt Zhou's back, signaling Ji Chen to go first.
Ji Chen had no choice but to leave the courtyard and wait for Jiang Xue outside.
Wang Jing's eyes never left Ji Chen from beginning to end.
She followed him eagerly to the outside of the yard. "Brother Ji Chen, are you hurt? My house is right behind the house. Come to our house and I'll bandage you up."
"No need," Ji Chen said coldly, without even glancing at Wang Jing.
"Brother Ji Chen, do you know that you have always been my idol?" Wang Jing said cutely, resting her chin on her hand and blinking her adoring eyes at Ji Chen.
