Chapter 63: Don’t you know what’s going on?
The two men walked in the alley with a proud and confident look, and Jiang Chenglang was leading the way in front.
Turning the corner, I saw a few children squatting under a tree and playing.
Jiang Chenglang said angrily: "It's them!"
They were all eight or nine years old, and the oldest was only about ten years old.
When the children heard the noise, they looked up and saw Jiang Chenglang coming with his men, and they immediately panicked.
The oldest child in the group pretended to be calm and said, "Jiang Chenglang, if you can't win, then ask for help. Aren't you ashamed?"
Jiang Fei put her hands on her hips and said with a smile: "Then you should also find helpers. Call your parents. Can you find them?"
Jiang Chenglang puffed out his belly and glared at him in a domineering manner.
Those kids teamed up to bully others, so naturally they didn't dare to ask their parents for help.
The children looked at each other, but all of them had an expression of dissatisfaction on their faces.
The sun was still strong at this moment, so Jiang Fei hid in the shade and said, "I won't interfere, nor will I help him. You two fight one against one, who will come out first?"
Jiang Chenglang panicked when he heard this, and tugged at Jiang Fei's sleeve to shrink behind her, "Are you really going to hit me?"
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Fei said, "You've grown up with all this flesh for nothing?"
"How do you fight?"
Jiang Fei leaned close to his ear and said, "Just do this... again... do you understand?"
Jiang Chenglang nodded without much confidence.
The boy opposite bravely stepped forward and said, "I, I'll do it!"
The two children stood face to face. Jiang Chenglang was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva, and the child also clenched his fists.
"Ready—" Jiang Fei leaned against the wall calmly, "Go!"
Jiang Chenglang suddenly rushed forward and knocked Wang Xiaohu to the ground. The two children rolled into a ball on the ground.
"Right!" Jiang Fei enthusiastically directed from the side, "Right! That's it! Use your weight to suppress him!"
Jiu Tao was stunned, "Miss...this..."
"Don't panic," Jiang Fei said calmly, "He can't lose with his size."
After an incense stick of time, Jiang Chenglang happily followed Jiang Fei to the Jiang Mansion.
Seeing that they couldn't beat the eldest one, the other kids didn't dare to fight with Jiang Chenglang, so they just apologized and let the matter go.
All the way back to the west wing, Jiang Chenglang was still following behind.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Jiang Fei stopped at the gate and raised her eyebrows. "Do you still want to come in with me for some snacks?"
Jiang Chenglang was covered in dust and kicked the pebbles on the ground shyly. "What if they gang up on me tomorrow?"
"Then hit him! You're so big, what are you afraid of? Just give him a mountain to crush him."
Jiang Chenglang looked bewildered. "What is Mount Tai pressing down on my head?"
"It's like pressing him down like a mountain, making it impossible for him to move. Do you understand?"
Jiang Chenglang's eyes lit up, "I am Taishan!"
"You are a mountain of meat." Jiang Fei threw down this sentence and went straight into the yard, asking Jiutao to close the door.
The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "You are quite enthusiastic."
Jiang Fei thought the system was offline, but it was still there.
She walked into the room, stretched, and collapsed directly onto the couch. "This isn't called enthusiasm, this is called looking for fun out of boredom."
The system poked my lungs, "Haven't you had enough fun today?"
Jiang Fei wanted to manually mute the system's microphone, but she didn't even have a mouth.
…
The next morning, Jiang Fei was still snuggling in bed thinking about Zhou Gong when someone slammed the door loudly.
Jiutao went to open the door, but before she could say anything, Yao pushed her away and walked straight over to lift Jiang Fei's bed curtains.
"Jiang Rufei! Get up!"
Jiang Fei had actually been woken up by her and slowly sat up from the bed.
Ever since the incident with Jiang Rulin, she and Yao had long since fallen out, and she was too lazy to pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son anymore.
"What does mother want to see me about so early in the morning?"
Yao was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her fingers were trembling as she pointed at Jiang Fei. "You instigated Lang'er to fight in the street yesterday, and you still have the nerve to ask me what happened?"
Jiang Fei put on her coat slowly and unhurriedly. "I was just teaching him to protect himself. Why is he so shameless?"
"Self-protection?" Yao sneered. "A young master of the Jiang family, fighting in the street? How disgraceful! You're not helping him, you're harming him!"
Jiang Fei tied her belt and looked directly at Yao. "Then according to mother, if you are bullied, you should just hide in the corner and cry, swallowing your anger?"
"You!" Yao was furious. "Lang'er is going to take the imperial examinations in the future. Are you trying to ruin his future by teaching him these street scoundrel tricks?"
"So, in my mother's eyes, self-preservation is just like being a street thug? Then, if he becomes an official in the future, will he also endure injustice? Let's talk about it later."
Jiang Fei sighed, "Mother, do you really have no idea what Jiang Chenglang's qualifications are?"
Yao's face froze, "What do you mean?"
"He's only memorized the beginning of the Three Character Classic after half a year, and he can't complete the homework assigned by the teacher nine times out of ten." Jiang Fei slowly adjusted her sleeves. "Do you really think he can bring honor to our family through the imperial examination? The Jiang family just doesn't have the talent. If he doesn't have that talent, it's useless to force him. It's better to let him grow up happily..."
"You, you, you are so outrageous!" Yao was so angry that her face turned pale. "Lang'er is still young. In the future..."
"What will his future be like?" Jiang Fei interrupted her. "Will he be a weak nerd, or a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others?"
Yao was so shocked by these words that she took a step back. Her lips trembled but she couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.
Jiang Fei pressed the issue, "I taught him to protect himself, at least to live with dignity. Mother always told him to be polite, and when he got beaten he didn't dare to say anything to you. That's what really harmed him."
Yao was choked by these words, her face turning pale and blue. "What nonsense! Lang'er is so young, and you're teaching him to fight. If this gets out, how will our Jiang family save face?"
"Face? Face is more important than people." Jiang Fei said indifferently, "For the sake of so-called face, should we let our children be bullied? This kind of education is worse than not having any education at all."
"presumptuous!"
Yao was so angry at these words that her vision went dark. "You! Do you still have the demeanor of a lady? You are so careless and even contradict the mistress to her face."
"Someone! Lock her up in the room and let her reflect on her actions. Without my permission, she is not allowed to step out of the room!"
Yao left angrily, and when she left, she had the door locked and the windows sealed.
Jiu Tao was left outside to bring her food, and could only anxiously ask, "Miss, what should I do?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just locked up, not in jail."
The system gloated: "Your situation is almost the same as being in prison, only the conditions are slightly better."
