Jiang Xue was also taken away.
The people who arrived at the police station were interviewed one by one. Jiang Xue was full of confidence, and she had to thank her time as a salesperson for her legal knowledge in this area.
She always resorts to legal means to protect her rights when faced with difficult, unreasonable, and disruptive customers.
Sure enough, Jiang Xue was released soon after.
Before Jiang Xue even left the house, she bumped into her mother-in-law Liu Aiyue, the village secretary, and the family of Wu Mazi Wang the bamboo craftsman.
They asked in unison, "She came out, but why didn't the other three come out?"
"Jiang Xue is the victim, so she should be released. Xie Xiaotian's case isn't serious; she'll only need to stay in jail for three days. The other two cases are a bit more serious, and you two need to mediate." After saying this, the police officer went back to his post.
Several rural women had never seen anything like this before. They usually just asked the village secretary to resolve their everyday family matters, but this time they were suddenly detained in the police station.
"They didn't do anything wrong, it was just a common argument in the countryside."
"Does the police even bother with such a trivial matter?"
Jiang Xue, holding her two children's hands, couldn't be bothered to deal with this group of people who were ignorant of the law.
It was already pitch black outside, and Jiang Xue hadn't brought a flashlight.
She had no choice but to pick up Shaomeng and hold Shaoheng's hand with her other hand, and hurry home through the dark road.
"Shaoheng, Shaomeng, don't be afraid. Your aunt will take you home. You must be starving!" Jiang Xue's stomach had been growling for a long time.
However, the thought of teaching this group of illiterate troublemakers a lesson still makes me very happy.
"We're not hungry, the police officers have already taken us to eat."
Jiang Xue felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Shao Heng's childish voice.
At this time, the small roads leading from the city back to the village were all bumpy dirt roads, as not every village was connected in those days.
Jiang Xue was groping in the dark when she accidentally stepped into a hole and twisted her ankle, which was very painful.
A chilling night wind blew across the desolate and eerie country road. It was her first time walking it, and she felt the hairs on her body stand on end.
The sound of hurried, forceful footsteps made Jiang Xue's heart tighten, and she held the sleeping Shao Meng tightly in her arms.
Shao Heng was protected behind her. There shouldn't be any robbers these days, and even if there were, she left in such a hurry that she didn't take a single penny with her.
Jiang Xue racked her brains, cold sweat pouring down her forehead, and a chill ran down her back.
"We've finally found you guys." Ji Chen's deep voice was urgent.
Jiang Xue stared blankly at the tall, strong man in front of her. Yes, it was Ji Chen.
She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. "That scared me to death! I thought we'd run into bandits."
Ji Chen quickly took Shao Meng's hand. "How could there be bandits these days? Every family has land and grain, who would do something so dangerous?"
Ji Chen handed the flashlight to Jiang Xue, "I've heard some things from the villagers, is it really that serious?"
Seeing the worry in his tone, Jiang Xue waved her hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright, I can handle a few troublemakers."
Ji Chen originally wanted to tell her neighbors not to offend too many people, but then he thought about how those people usually only thought about slacking off and being lazy, so he didn't say anything more.
"Your method is actually quite good." Ji Chen sincerely admired Jiang Xue's courage.
Jiang Xue waved her hand, "Only by being efficient can you make money."
Seeing Ji Chenfeng's disheveled appearance, Jiang Xue couldn't help but ask, "What did your sister say?"
Ji Chen silently took Shao Heng's hand, carried Shao Meng, and quickened his pace to get home.
Jiang Xue was embarrassed by Ji Chen's reaction, but she didn't press him for an answer.
When Jiang Xue arrived home, she took off her socks, revealing two large blisters on her fair and delicate feet.
She shook her head and sighed. The original owner was really lazy. She usually stayed at home and had never walked such a long distance before.
"I'll go get you some food." Ji Chen's voice was magnetic, but still lacked warmth.
Jiang Xue thought that the two children had already eaten, and she didn't want to trouble her business partner.
"No need, I'll make it myself. The two kids have already eaten."
After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she got up and went into the kitchen.
Ji Chen, who was behind her, frowned, stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xue back, telling her stiffly, "Let me do it."
Jiang Xue widened her peach blossom eyes, wondering if this guy hadn't eaten either. "Okay then, thanks."
Rather than having her make an extra portion for Ji Chen, it would be better for Ji Chen to make an extra portion for her.
A life of mindless toil is not what Jiang Xue wants.
Ji Chen placed a bowl of egg and vegetable noodles on the square table. "You can eat it."
He turned around and picked up Shaomeng and Shaoheng, saying, "Uncle will take you to take a bath."
Jiang Xue was a little stunned by the single bowl of egg noodles on the table, but she rubbed her temples and decided to stop thinking about it and fill her stomach first.
A steaming bowl of egg noodles was quickly devoured by Jiang Xue. After finishing, she wiped her mouth and asked, "You've already eaten?"
Ji Chen dressed the two children without looking up, and nodded.
Jiang Xue pursed her lips. Why is this kid suddenly so kind? Could it be that he needs something from me?
If he doesn't mention it, we won't ask either; playing dumb won't hurt us.
The two children had already fallen asleep after being soothed by Ji Chen. Jiang Xue, who had just finished showering and washing her hair, was wearing a red V-neck nightgown, her hair still wet, and she exuded a faint scent of soap.
She looked like a piece of soft tofu that you could squeeze water out of, with a pair of charming and mesmerizing peach blossom eyes. Jiang Xue looked at the person in the mirror.
She hadn't properly looked in the mirror since she arrived. The original owner's appearance was truly stunning, but it didn't conform to the current popular aesthetic of having a face as round as a silver plate.
Instead, she had the appearance of a bewitching vixen, and she finally understood why Liu Aiyue was so fond of Xie Xiaotian.
"Knock knock..." Ji Chen knocked on the door very politely.
"Come in." Jiang Xue dried her hair and admired her flawless skin in the mirror.
In her past life, Jiang Xue worked overtime every night, and her pores were covered in blackheads and whiteheads, forcing her to go to a beauty salon every three days.
Now her face is as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg, and her terrible mood from today has suddenly cleared up.
"Come out and talk," Ji Chen said firmly.
Jiang Xue frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and looked at her bare white arms exposed. Still feeling uneasy, she put on a thin coat.
"What is it?" Jiang Xue straightened her coat, but it still smelled musty. The original owner was too lazy and just left her clothes lying around without washing or drying them.
Her nose couldn't stand the odor, and she couldn't resist taking off her smelly coat in front of Ji Chen.
“My sister doesn’t plan to have Shaoheng and Shaomeng anymore.” He said in a somber tone, his head bowed as he sat on the octagonal stool.
Jiang Xue rested her chin on her hand and said casually, "Oh."
She felt sorry for the child's plight, but she was currently struggling to make ends meet herself. So, despite her sympathy, she decided to put the adoption on hold for now.
