"This time is not very good. I have to go back home for something. How about we make an appointment tomorrow?" Chen Xi thought about it and realized that the food at home was almost ready by this time, so he had to go home for dinner.
Otherwise, the whole family would probably rush out to look for me.
"That's fine. I'm working at the steel factory in your city now. I get off work around 4:30 in the afternoon. You can wait for me at the entrance of the steel factory." He had to catch up with the black market business, but he couldn't lose his job at the steel factory for the time being.
If I get lost, I will be sent back to the north.
"Okay! It's a deal, brother!" Chen Xi agreed without hesitation.
After agreeing on a time to meet tomorrow, the two parted ways.
Chen Xi found a secluded place and changed back to his original appearance, and took out a can from the space.
This can was brought back from the north.
Canned food is very popular in the north, and it is also available in the south, but Chen Xi’s favorite yellow peach flavor is not available. What is available are canned bayberry and longan.
None of them are what Chen Xi likes.
Thinking that Sikong Ling likes sweet food, Chen Xi decided to take out the canned yellow peaches.
Holding the can of yellow peaches, she walked towards home. When she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Sikong Ling who was about to go out to look for her.
"Sikong Ling!" Chen Xi waved at the other party.
Seeing this, Sikong Ling laughed and walked towards Chen Xi with big strides.
"It's really you, Chen Xi..." Because he was too focused on Sikong Ling, Chen Xi didn't notice the person standing next to him until the other person made a sinister voice.
A chilling feeling came over Chen Xi, and he quickly dodged to the side, leaving the opponent's pounce empty. She fell to the ground in a mess, and Chen Xi looked at the opponent with lingering fear. Sikong Ling also ran to Chen Xi's side, protecting Chen Xi behind him, and looked at the fallen woman warily.
"Who are you! Why do you want to hurt others on purpose!" Sikong shouted fiercely.
The person on the ground slowly raised his head and looked at Chen Xi. His face was so thin that it was unrecognizable, but he could still vaguely see that it was Chen Hong.
Chen Xi raised her eyebrows, "Chen Hong, it's you?" She almost laughed out loud.
I didn't expect Chen Hong to end up like this.
"It's me! Are you very proud? You bitch! You are obviously not as good as me in every way! Why are you living a better life than me now!" Chen Hong said indignantly, and was about to stand up from the ground and chop Chen Xi with the kitchen knife she brought with her.
But how could her reaction and speed compare to Sikong Ling, a former soldier.
Before she could get up, Sikong Ling kicked her out.
Then he stepped forward and quickly took away the weapon from her hand and locked her hands behind her back.
"Behave yourself! Do you still want to hurt people?" Sikong Ling frowned and shouted angrily.
"Let me go! I want to kill this bitch! Why should she live better than me? She should live a worse life than me! She should marry Huang Jianguo, that beast who is worse than pigs and dogs!" Chen Hong screamed madly and struggled constantly.
Chen Xi didn't tolerate the other party and slapped him in the face.
"Cousin, you got what you asked for! Didn't you ask for the relationship with Huang Jianguo? What? You sacrificed everything to get this man, and now you think he's trash and want me to take the blame?" She knew about Huang Jianguo's violence in her previous life. In her previous life, even though Chen Hong didn't have that kind of thing, she was still raped by Huang Jianguo.
Not to mention what happened in this life and what would happen if she married Huang Jianguo.
She had worked so hard to get this marriage and now she blames herself for it?
The reason why this didn't happen in the previous life was because Chen Hong died at the hands of Huang Jianguo before she returned from the countryside.
My uncle and aunt did not want to offend the Huang family, so they chose to keep the peace and issued a letter of understanding.
After all, their daughter died, and they still had an adopted son to rely on.
Then we just need to maximize the benefits of our daughter's death.
When Sikong Ling saw Chen Xi's quick and decisive action, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Chen Xi with shining eyes.
"I will kill you! I will kill you! I can't live anymore and you deserve to die too!" Chen Hong has gone completely crazy.
Chen Xi thought she was too noisy, "Husband, send her to the police station. Attempted murder is also a criminal case, right?"
"Yes, I'll send her there right away. Just come with me to take a statement." Sikong Ling picked up the other person and then sent Chen Hong to the police station with Chen Xi.
After arriving at the police station, the kitchen knife and Chen Hong were still acting like crazy, cursing and shouting that they wanted to kill Chen Xi. This could prove that the woman was guilty of attempted murder.
However, judging from the other party's mental state, he is obviously crazy. It is not illegal for a madman to kill people, but he can be sent to a mental hospital.
After being detained in the Public Security Bureau for one night and her family being notified but no one coming to bail her out, Chen Hong was sent to a mental hospital for treatment.
After finishing everything, Chen Xi felt a little tired.
He yawned and looked at the dark sky, "Sikong Ling, I'm sleepy."
"I'll take you home." Sikong Ling bent down and carried Chen Xi on his back.
The two walked towards home together.
The Public Security Bureau is very close to my grandfather's house, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
When they got home, their family was waiting for them to have dinner.
But Chen Xi fell asleep on the way back.
It seems normal. Chen Xi is pregnant, and sleepiness is also a symptom of pregnancy.
"A Ling, put Xixi to sleep in the room. Come over and have dinner before going to sleep." Grandma called Sikong Ling to come over for dinner.
Sikong Ling nodded, carried Chen Xi back to the room, and then carefully moved Chen Xi from his back to the bed.
Try not to make her feel uncomfortable at all.
Chen Xi curled up into a ball and soon fell into a deeper sleep.
Sikong Ling then left the room and went to the dining room to eat.
The family sat together, and Sikong Ling explained why they came back so late.
"What! Is that girl Chen Hong crazy? If she hadn't married Huang Jianguo, I would have sent her down to the countryside!" Chen Dashan was so angry when he heard Sikong Ling's words that he almost threw the bowl.
If he had not been taught through long-term education not to waste food, he would not have been able to keep the bowl in his hand level.
"Okay, now the person has been sent in, and he can't escape being sent down." Everyone was angry, but as the head of the family, the grandfather had to stabilize the situation.
He sighed lightly, reached out his hand, and rarely picked up a piece of meat for Chen Dashan and put it in his bowl.
Chen Dashan's attention was immediately attracted by the piece of meat. He felt that what his father-in-law said was right. Since the person had been sent to the Public Security Bureau, the problem would not be a big deal.
"Okay, let's go to bed after dinner! Everyone has their own things to do tomorrow." After grandpa gave the order, everyone stopped worrying about this issue.
They all chose to lower their heads and eat.
