Chapter 33: I’ll hit you if you want!
Even though Pei Yian had a smart mind, it was of no use to Ji Zhisui. He couldn't understand this woman, so naturally he couldn't guess where she was planning to take him.
He was pulled obediently, and he didn't hate being touched like this. Deep down, he even hoped that this feeling could last a little longer.
Pei Yian saw the two people stop in front of the clinic door. He turned his right hand and clasped the small hands with his big hand. "It's useless. Don't waste money and energy."
"But..." Ji Zhisui was still a little worried.
"My dear, don't worry. I am confident in my health and have found news about treatment." Pei Yian comforted her.
Even he was a little surprised when he heard this. He had not revealed any information about his physical condition to anyone else.
He knew he was poisoned, but telling others would only add to his worries and sadness. He often looked pale, and his family thought it was just a sequelae of his martial arts being wasted.
This was the first time he brought it up on his own initiative. He couldn't say why, but he just didn't want to see her worry about his own affairs.
Ji Zhisui felt relieved after hearing that Pei Yian was confident about her health. Although she didn't quite remember how the poison was dealt with in the original book, she didn't worry about it anymore after the male protagonist said so. The two of them called their second sister-in-law and pushed the cart home.
Just as she was about to enter, an old lady came over from the opposite side. Old Lady Liu took the initiative to talk to her, "Hey, are you new here?"
Ji Zhisui couldn't figure out the other party's intention and could only nod.
"Are you guys going to buy food? I noticed you guys came back pretty early yesterday and today. Is the food business good?"
After hearing this, Pei Ersao frowned. What the old lady said was really uncomfortable. What did she mean by good business? They closed the stall early, obviously because Sui Niang’s cooking was good and the food was delicious!
It was obvious that the other party was not just here to greet the neighbors, but also to test them. Ji Zhisui remained expressionless and said, "No, I just didn't have much to sell, so I came back early."
"Really? Then what do you sell? How much can you earn in a day?" Old Mrs. Liu asked relentlessly, with a matter-of-fact look on her face, without any restraint.
Pei Yian opened the door and let Ji Zhisui and the others in first. His face was cold and distant, his eyebrows and eyes sharp and cold. "We have something else to do at home, please feel free to do as you please."
Then he closed the door, blocking out any prying eyes.
Old Lady Liu had never seen someone with such a powerful aura before, and she was a little scared and took a few steps back.
When I realized what was happening, I immediately leaned forward, but all I saw was a closed door.
After all these years of being domineering, this was the first time she was rejected right from the start. Old Lady Liu's eyes were wide open and her face was distorted.
Great! Since you dare not take her, Old Lady Liu, seriously! She must let people know the consequences of offending her!
She shouted loudly, afraid that the people inside couldn't hear her, and also afraid that the neighbors around couldn't hear her.
"A shameless and vicious family moved in, taking advantage of their youth to bully an old woman like me!"
"My life is so miserable! I just wanted to say hello to my new neighbors, but this family kicked me out!"
"Hey there! Everyone, be careful, this family is full of black hearts!"
Old Lady Liu's voice was sharp and penetrating, and she spoke deliberately loudly, so the Pei family members inside could hear everything she said clearly.
She even cursed more and more vigorously, standing at their door, with no intention of stopping.
"Sui Niang, An Ge'er, what's wrong? We are just staying at home and haven't provoked anyone else." Pei didn't understand. She didn't kick the man out, so why was the man outside talking nonsense?
"Bah! These are all lies. We are not black-hearted!" Pei Ersao's face also looked unhappy as she retorted.
It was the first time for the two children to encounter such a scene, and they were a little scared and at a loss.
Madam Pei's face darkened, and she wasn't going to tolerate it any longer. As for the Duke's wife's demeanor, she had already thrown it into the corner. "Where did this scoundrel come from? I have to go out and teach her a lesson!"
When Old Lady Liu saw the door continue to open, she was very proud! Look, isn't it opening the door obediently now?
Seeing that the person who came out was an old woman a few years younger than herself, she didn't take it seriously and was not afraid at all. She, Old Lady Liu, had fought all over North Street, and the old women and young ladies on this street were no match for her.
Mrs. Pei stepped forward quickly, stretched out her hand, and slapped Mrs. Liu in the face with a quick, accurate and fierce slap.
The sounds around seemed to have stopped, and only the crisp and powerful sound of the slap was particularly loud.
Everyone in the Pei family looked at each other. Grandmother was still the same tough grandmother!
"You...you..." Old Mrs. Liu was confused by this operation.
No, even if they were going to fight, they shouldn't have cursed at each other for a few rounds first and then started to fight. Who would just come up and slap someone without saying a word?
Old Mrs. Liu didn't react at all and covered her face in shock.
"Your mouth stinks! Let me help you wash it." Madam Pei's voice was filled with the pressure of a superior, and she was too lazy to waste time talking to others.
What a despicable thing! How dare she act so arrogantly in front of her and bully the Pei family! Did she really think that she had been the Duke's wife for decades in vain?
This was the first time that Old Lady Liu had suffered such a setback. When she was insulted like this, she always had no choice but to slap others in the face!
Not to mention that several families nearby opened their doors and many people were watching the fun. Each of them had a look of gloating and mockery on their faces. When had Old Lady Liu ever suffered such humiliation? How could she survive in North Street in the future?
She was furious, her chest heaving up and down, breathing heavily, her eyes fierce, "Bitch! How dare you hit me!"
Madam Pei folded her arms and looked down at her. "I'm going to hit you if I want to. Do you even need to choose a day?"
"Son of a bitch! Dead bitch!" Old Lady Liu stepped forward and used all her strength, trying to grab Old Lady Pei's hair with one hand and pull it downwards, while the other hand was about to fall on Old Lady Pei's face.
When Ji Zhisui saw this scene, he was afraid that the old lady could not handle it and wanted to go up to help.
Just as she took a step forward, Pei Yian's big hand wrapped around hers, and the man's low, magnetic voice appeared in her ears, "No need for help, grandma can handle it."
The slightly warm breath sprayed on her ears, making her feel itchy and numb.
Only then did she realize that she and Pei Yian were standing one in front of the other. The man was more than a head taller than her. He lowered his head slightly, and his lips were beside her ear, giving people the illusion that the two were rubbing against each other's ears.
Their clothes were touching, and if she took just a small step back, she could lean on the man's arms.
The distance was really too close, closer than any time before. Coupled with the tingling and hot feeling in his ears, Ji Zhisui's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.
