Chapter 18: Hold your cat pee back for me!

Seeing that things were not developing in the direction she hoped, Cai Guihua suddenly became anxious. She did not believe that Su Mei could cure the disease at all:

"How can Li Yuan be okay? Master Huo, you can't just make up lies to reassure Aunt Wang. If he's dead, he's dead. Just be honest..."

"You are the one who is talking nonsense." Aunt Wang gritted her teeth and interrupted Cai Guihua. She glanced into the yard and saw the broom in the corner. She ran over, picked up the broom, and greeted Cai Guihua:

"You troublemaker, you stir up trouble every day, and you even dare to curse my son. I will beat you to death today."

It happened suddenly. Before anyone could react, Aunt Wang's broom had already hit Cai Guihua.

Cai Guihua's face was scratched by the broom, leaving several marks. She ran while shouting:

"Oh, Auntie Wang, why did you hit me? The reason I have such doubts is because of Teacher Huo.

Since Li Yuan is fine, why did he come in with such a cold face? It is easy to be misunderstood!"

"I have a cold face because I can't be happy to see your gossiping face." Huo Jianguo was unwilling to quarrel with a shrew like Cai Guihua, but he was unhappy at the moment, so facing Cai Guihua's repeated provocations, he did not swallow his anger, but stood up:

"Cai Guihua, you've been criticizing people in this compound every day. I think it's mainly because you lack education and awareness. Do you want me to give He Yong a long vacation so that he can come back and give you a political lesson?"

These words were very serious. Huo Jianguo's language was sharp and his eyes were cold. He stared at Cai Guihua blankly, and there was a soul-stirring power in his deep eyes.

Cai Guihua's face turned pale when she was stared at by those powerful eyes. She was shocked to realize that Huo Jianguo was her man's boss, someone she could not afford to offend.

Cai Guihua dared to say those insulting words to Huo Jianguo when he entered the yard because she thought she knew Su Mei well enough.

She thought Su Mei was as stupid as a pig and had no ability to save people. She only took on the task of saving people in order to show off.

Thinking that Li Yuan was doomed to die and Huo Jianguo would suffer a great loss as a result, Cai Guihua dared to challenge Huo Jianguo without restraint.

Unexpectedly, things went completely beyond Cai Guihua's expectations.

She is used to gossiping. She used to gossip behind people's backs. Others couldn't do anything to her, so she could only sulk in secret.

Today, she was causing trouble openly because she had a head-on conflict with Su Mei.

Unexpectedly, this time she hit a wall and angered Huo Jianguo. When she thought that Huo Jianguo might make things difficult for her man because of her, Cai Guihua was so anxious that she cried:

"Teacher Huo, I don't mean to stir up trouble. I'm just... just worried about Li Yuan's situation, so I stayed here to show my concern.

You must not make things difficult for He Yong because of this, or he will blame me and I won’t be able to talk to him...!"

"Hold your cat pee back for me, I think it's unlucky." Auntie Wang interrupted Cai Guihua again. She hated Cai Guihua's pretentiousness the most, and couldn't help but pick up the broom to chase her:

"Stop pretending to be sympathetic here, get out of my house right now, you evil person, tui!"

Why does Aunt Wang dislike Cai Guihua so much?

It was because when Aunt Wang had just arrived at the army, the old commander delivered flour to Aunt Wang once, and Cai Guihua ran into them. Cai Guihua then spread the word to everyone that Aunt Wang was having an affair with the old commander.

Aunt Wang was a widow, and the old leader had no partner, so Cai Guihua spread the rumor with great fanfare...

As for Aunt Wang, she only found out that she had become the chief's lover from other people's gossip.

In fact, the old leader sent flour to Auntie Wang only because he met Auntie Wang carrying flour on his way home from a nearby town. Seeing that it was not easy for Auntie Wang as she was old, he kindly gave Auntie Wang the flour.

Having been a widow all her life, Wang A-er was naturally very upset to have Cai Guihua spread rumors about her behind her back. However, she was able to endure it until now and then chase her away with a broom, which showed that she was very restrained.

Seeing Cai Guihua being chased and beaten, not a single person in the yard stood up to stop the fight. One can imagine how many people Cai Guihua had offended with her gossiping nature.

Just like that, Cai Guihua was driven out by Aunt Wang in a very ugly way.

After sending Cai Guihua away, Aunt Wang felt that the air in the yard was much fresher. She put down the broom and said to Huo Jianguo:

"Jianguo, I really want to thank you and Su Mei today."

"It's my duty!" Huo Jianguo responded with three short words.

Aunt Wang knew that Huo Jianguo was a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart. He had no expression on his face only because he didn't know how to deal with other people's gratitude.

There was no need to thank for the great favor, and Aunt Wang did not say anything more. Instead, she changed the subject and asked:

"Then can I go see Li Yuan now?"

"Okay." Huo Jianguo nodded.

After getting Huo Jianguo's consent, Aunt Wang went out eagerly.

Seeing Auntie Wang go to her own yard, Huo Jianguo looked at the other people in the yard and said, "Li Yuan is fine, so let's all go. There's no point in gathering here any longer."

Everyone had been rescued, and Huo Jianguo had great prestige in the compound. He had already asked them to leave, so there was no reason for the people in the compound to stay and cause trouble, so they all got up and left.

In the crowd, Zhao Ying pouted angrily. She thought that she had come to help without even having lunch, and she even brought the antipyretic medicine she had stored at home to give to Li Yuan.

At this point, she was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back, but Aunt Wang didn't remember her kindness at all. She only thanked Huo Jianguo and Su Mei. It was true that a bad person could become a good person as long as he did one good thing. It was really chilling.

Aunt Wang had better not ask her for help in the future. She angrily followed the crowd out of the yard, completely forgetting that her uncle, whom she had invited to make the decision, was still locked up in the kitchen.

After everyone had left, Huo Jianguo adjusted his cold expression and tried hard to force out a flattering smile.

Then he awkwardly pushed open the locked kitchen door of Aunt Wang's house, stuck half of his head in, and shouted with a smile:

"Political Commissar Lu, good evening. You said the kitchen is so dark. Why are you staying in there alone? Come out quickly. I'll buy you a cup of tea."
