Chapter 116: Don’t Provoke Trouble, But Don’t Be Afraid of Trouble (Updated)
Jiang Tang's expression showed no mercy to Zhong Cuiping. After all, she had given Zhong Cuiping a chance before, but Zhong Cuiping did not know how to repent and even dared to make trouble again, which had completely exceeded Jiang Tang's bottom line.
She came to this compound built in the 1970s and didn't want to cause trouble, but she was definitely not afraid of it either.
Deep down, she is not the original owner and has never been someone who is easy to bully.
Jiang Tang was about to leave with a cold face, too lazy to even look at Zhong Cuiping.
Behind her were Zhao Xiumei and Wang Chunlan, emitting another kind of invisible pressure.
Seeing this, Zhong Cuiping suddenly became nervous.
She said hurriedly, "I have something...something, Xiao Jiang...Comrade Jiang, I...I...I have something to tell you. Um...I'm here...to apologize."
Zhong Cuiping was holding a bamboo basket in her hand, which contained some flour and eggs. The meat was too expensive for her to buy, so these were her greatest sincerity.
Zhong Cuiping said again, "I really came here to apologize to you."
When Jiang Tang heard that she came to apologize, he finally stopped, glanced sideways at Zhong Cuiping, and carefully examined the expression on her face.
Zhong Cuiping's expression this time was sincere. She wasn't the kind of two-faced person who apologized but looked obviously unconvinced.
But this apology really cost her face. Over the years, Zhong Cuiping had always been the winner in every quarrel in the compound. When had she ever apologized, let alone to a little girl like Jiang Tang?
That's why she said this with such difficulty.
If it weren't for her own man and a better life in the future, she wouldn't want to come.
This slight reluctance was hidden deep in Zhong Cuiping's heart, but her subtle emotions were still seen by Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang thought that it was probably because Yang Suzhen's conversation with her yesterday played an important role that forced Zhong Cuiping to bow her head.
In this case, she also has to give face to Yang Suzhen.
"Zhong Cuiping, for Director Yang's sake, I accept your apology. As for your basket of things, you'd better take it back. I won't accept it." Jiang Tang said seriously.
Zhong Cuiping panicked, "You don't want to accept it? You don't think much of my things?"
She thought quickly again, you are so nice, Jiang Tang, whether you want it or not, I don’t want to give it to you. The whole basket of things costs five or six dollars in total, so you might as well take it home for your son to eat!
Thinking so, Zhong Cuiping hugged the bamboo basket tightly in her arms.
She spoke again, addressing Jiang Tang, "Jiang Tang, you didn't want the things, not me. Zhao Xiumei, Wang Chunlan, you all saw it. If Director Yang asks about it later, you have to stand up for me. Also—I apologize. Since you've accepted my apology, don't bring this up again. I don't owe you anything, and my son doesn't owe your children anything. Don't embarrass me anymore, and don't go to Director Yang to complain."
"Haha, going to Director Yang to complain, only you, Zhong Cuiping, would do such a thing. Little sister Jiang is not the kind of person you say she is." Zhao Xiumei was outspoken and directly said what Jiang Tang was thinking.
Wang Chunlan quickly chimed in, "Little Jiang, are you really just going to let it go? Your son is injured. If it were me, you should just accept the things she gives you and ask her for medical expenses. That way, Zhong Cuiping will learn her lesson. And see if her son will hit people again in the future."
“You—you—” Zhong Cuiping was furious, her face flushed with anger as she argued, “Jiang Tang said forget it, what right do you have to talk nonsense here and sow discord!”
"Zhong Cuiping, I didn't say forget it."
Jiang Tang's cold and sharp voice came again.
Zhong Cuiping was stunned, her eyes widened stupidly, "What? You said forget it, then what do you mean? I accepted the apology, but I don't want the things, what else do you want?"
"My request is very simple. From now on, your son is not allowed to get close to my child." Jiang Tang stared at Zhong Cuiping with a deep warning in his eyes.
She wants to make things clear today.
"Zhong Cuiping, after these two quarrels, it's impossible for our two families to live in peace. From now on, we'll live in the same compound, just pretend we don't know each other. As long as you don't provoke me, I won't mention the past."
"Especially your son! If Chao Chao and Yue Yue have any conflicts, headaches, fevers, or anything goes wrong outside, I will definitely suspect your son Tian Weijun first. If you don't want to be suspected, take care of your son and stay away from Chao Chao and Yue Yue."
"I can let go of yesterday's incident and refuse the medical expenses. But if it happens again, I will not only file a complaint, but I will also report it to Chief He and make it known to everyone."
"Zhong Cuiping, did you hear what I said clearly? Did you remember it?"
Jiang Tang not only moved out Yang Suzhen, but also moved Chief He out.
Zhong Cuiping was stunned when she heard this, her eyes widened, her face turned pale, and she was trembling slightly.
They all saw clearly how warmly Chief He treated Jiang Tang when he came last time.
If this really gets to Chief He, then the man in her family is finished...completely finished...
Zhong Cuiping spoke cautiously, "I... heard it clearly and remembered it all! I understand."
Jiang Tang softened her tone slightly when she saw that Zhong Cuiping was really moving and had a tendency to tremble faintly.
Finally, he asked, "Why was your Tian Weijun near the Yuhong class yesterday?"
"I asked about this. Wei Jun said someone gave him an apple and told him to go over there to eat it, so he went over there, and then—they ran into each other. It really wasn't intentional! It was just an accident. He definitely didn't mean to hit anyone."
Zhong Cuiping answered according to what she heard from Tian Weijun. Both mother and son were confused and still didn't know what was going on.
Jiang Tang got the answer she wanted, and then ordered her to leave.
"Okay. Now that we've finished talking, you can go. Remember what I said today."
“I know. I know.”
Zhong Cuiping nodded repeatedly, holding the bamboo basket tightly in her arms, and walked out of Jiang Tang's sight in two steps, leaving the alley.
When she came out into the sun again, she stopped and suddenly found that cold sweat had seeped out of her palms and back.
She's just a young girl, why is she so scared?
Even Zhong Cuiping herself couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Xiumei and Wang Chunling watched Zhong Cuiping flee. Wang Chunlan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Zhong Cuiping should have learned a lesson long ago. Sister Jiang, you did a great job!"
Zhao Xiumei was still a little angry and asked, "Little Jiang, are you really just going to let it go?"
