Chapter 223 A Mess
Xia Mi walked very quickly, and when she arrived at the army, the guard at the door saw that it was Xia Mi.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to talk to Huo Ying about something?"
Xia Mi panted, "There are a lot of outsiders coming to Captain Jiang's house. I think something is wrong and I'm afraid something might happen."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll go in and report now."
Xia Mi raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and stood at the door waiting quietly.
In less than ten minutes, Huo Jingchen was running in front, followed by the guards and Shi Daqiang.
"What happened? Why is the Jiang family surrounded?" Huo Jingchen stopped and saw Xia Mi's blushing cheeks and anxious eyes.
"The Gao family is here, a whole family is here. Sister-in-law Shengmei probably didn't let anyone in, so the whole family was locked outside."
Xia Mi hurriedly told what she had just seen.
"Daqiang, you go drive."
After Shi Daqiang agreed, he turned and ran towards the parking lot. Soon the military jeep appeared in Xia Mi's sight.
Huo Jingchen opened the car door and said, "Get in."
Xia Mi got into the car and Huo Jingchen hurriedly followed. With a bang, the car door closed and the car shook.
It takes five minutes to get to the family compound by car, and Shi Daqiang parked his car at the door.
I heard noise before I even reached my destination.
From a distance, you could see Li Jiajia pointing at a woman's nose and scolding her.
Gao Zhilei, who was standing next to him, was scolded by the elders of the Gao family so badly that he couldn't even raise his head. Some of them were even beating children. The scene was very chaotic.
Xia Mi looked at the beaten child and cried breathlessly, her tears and snot mixed together, and her crying was heartbreaking.
"This should be the child who pushed Xiaoling."
Xia Mi told Huo Jingchen her guess, "Now that you want to teach your child a lesson, why did you do it earlier? Running to someone else's door to put on a show, it's disgusting."
If the child hadn't been crying so miserably, Xia Mi would have almost overlooked the child's physique.
He looked about six or seven years old, and was raised to be plump and white. He didn't forget to talk back when he cried. I guess he was spoiled since he was a child, and he felt unbalanced when he was suddenly treated like this.
"Stop it, shut up!" Huo Jingchen shouted.
Shi Daqiang ran over to maintain order, "Quiet, who are you? This is a family compound, not a vegetable market!"
The Gao family was like chickens with their necks strangled, and none of them dared to say a word.
Li Jiajia was arguing with someone until her face turned red. "If you don't come soon, I'll be eaten alive by this group of people. I've lived for almost twenty years and I've never seen such a shameless family."
"Okay, shut up too. Be quiet."
Huo Jingchen gave Li Jiajia a look, warning her to keep quiet.
Li Jiajia had no choice but to shut up and walked to Xia Mi.
Huo Jingchen asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Sir, we came here just to pick up our daughter-in-law. We don't want to do anything else."
"Do we need so many people to pick up our daughter-in-law?" Huo Jingchen had a sullen face, and the oppressive feeling he exuded made people dare not look directly at him.
Gao Zhilei's aunt Gao Liya smiled and said, "Commander, there is a misunderstanding here. On the fourth day of the New Year, I was ignorant and accidentally squeezed into Commander Jiang's daughter-in-law, who is also my nephew's wife."
"My nephew's wife didn't tell her about the pregnancy in advance, so my son accidentally pushed her down the stairs, and then the baby was lost."
This version sounds like it's Jiang Xiaoling's fault.
"Brother Huo, I didn't know my mom and the others were coming." Gao Zhilei took this opportunity to show that he was also unaware of the situation. He scratched his hair in annoyance, feeling annoyed by the arrival of his family.
"Zhi Lei, you are such a loser. It's just a child. You two are still young and can have more children in the future. You can't cut off ties with our family just for a child."
Gao Liya was harsh in her words and had no intention of admitting her mistakes.
"That's enough. This is the family compound. Non-military family members entering here are required to report. The number of you barging in is already a violation of regulations. Who knows if there are any spies here?"
Huo Jingchen raised his chin and said, "Daqiang, take all the people to the army."
When the Gao family heard that they were going to the army, they panicked.
Gao Zhilei also panicked, but this time his family's actions were too extreme, so he did not plead for mercy.
"Xiao Lei, what's going on? Don't you call him Big Brother? Tell him who we are. Do you really want to see your parents join the army?!"
Gao Kangjian glared at his son fiercely.
Huo Jingchen looked at the Gao family and completely lost his patience. He turned around and informed Xia Mi in advance.
"Cover your ears."
Bang--
Huo Jingchen took out the pistol from his waist, quickly loaded it, then raised his hand and fired a shot into the sky.
After the gunshot, there was a scream.
The Gao family was horrified, knowing that Huo Jingchen was serious. They looked at him in fear and didn't dare to say another word.
"Stop talking nonsense. The two old men get in the car, and the others follow me."
Although Xia Mi covered her ears, this was the first time she heard gunshots, and at such a close distance, her heart still skipped a beat and she was very scared.
After counting carefully, I found that there were actually seven people from the Gao family.
Jiang Shengmei, who was inside the house, sat in the yard the whole time and had a clear grasp of what was happening outside.
Only after it was quiet outside did she dare to open the door.
Gao Zhilei also followed the Gao family away, leaving only Xia Mi and Li Jiajia at the door.
"Auntie, are you scared? Where's Sister Xiaoling?"
After seeing the two of them, Jiang Shengmei's ugly expression finally eased a little, "I'm fine, she's reading in there. Has everyone been taken away by Jingchen?"
"Yes, they were all taken to the army, and Gao Zhilei went with them."
"Thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have had a peaceful night." Jiang Shengmei thought of that strange family and suddenly felt melancholy again. "The Gao family's parents didn't seem like they would make trouble the first two times I met them. How could they be so confused?"
She was really scared by the fact that so many people were blocking the door today.
Jiang Shengmei's face was pale and she was holding her breath. When she saw Xia Mi and Li Jiajia coming, her legs went weak and she fell forward.
Xia Mi was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and caught Jiang Shengmei in the first moment.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. They have all been taken to the army, and Jingchen won't let so many people disturb you and Xiaoling anymore."
When they came, Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen discussed in the car that they would take all the people to the army first.
At most, he would agree to let Gao's parents come, and he would find a way to send the rest back to Qingcheng.
Li Jiajia comforted Jiang Shengmei, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. If they dare to come again, I will ask my dad to arrest them all."
"It's good that he's gone, it's good that he's gone..."
Jiang Shengmei murmured softly, "I'll go in and see Xiaoling first."
The three of them turned around. Jiang Ling stood at the door, looking at Xia Mi and the others quietly. She curled her lips and said, "I'm fine."
