Huang Tao smiled mysteriously: "Sun Qi, do you also have feelings for this woman? How about this, we take turns playing with her tonight. I'm older than you, so according to seniority you should call me brother. Let me go first, and after I've played with her, you can play until dawn."
Upon hearing this, Sun Qi frowned, incredulous, and angrily said, "Huang Tao, are you crazy? She's Huang Minghao's wife and your cousin."
Huang Tao's expression was strange: "Sun Qi, don't give me this nonsense. Don't put on this sanctimonious act. You dare to say you have no feelings for her? Coming here in the middle of the night to make a phone call. Have you two been having an affair for a while now? I didn't even want her to sleep with my cousin. It seems you didn't care. I didn't expect you to beat me to it. My cousin now has another green field on his head. Haha, I'm so happy."
Sun Qi's face flushed with anger, and she punched Huang Tao. The two fell to the ground and started fighting.
Jiang Shuya was pushed to the side, her body tilted, and she fell weakly to the ground, her clothes disheveled. The two people next to her were fighting fiercely, neither giving way to the other.
After a flurry of punches and kicks, the fight raged on. Soon, both men bore the marks of blows on their faces. Huang Tao's face was bruised and swollen from Sun Qi's punches, while Sun Qi had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and two scratches on his face. Before long, Huang Tao gained the upper hand, pinning Sun Qi to the ground and unleashing a barrage of vicious punches. The slender Sun Qi fought back desperately, but fighting was definitely not his forte. Huang Tao, a seasoned fighter with years of experience, was far superior to Sun Qi.
At this moment, Sun Qi saw a stone brick at the edge. Taking advantage of Huang Tao's lack of vigilance, he flipped over, picked up half of the stone brick from the ground, and smashed it at Huang Tao's head with all his might.
Huang Tao, who had been beaten, was caught off guard. His head was ringing, and he was in so much pain that he grimaced, his eyes rolled back, and blood was streaming down his head. Sun Qi shouted, "I'm calling the police right now. You can't get away with this."
Upon hearing this, Huang Tao swayed, covered his head with his hands, which were covered in blood, pointed at Sun Qi, and said angrily, "You just wait! You dare to lay a hand on me? I won't let you get away with this. Next time, it will be your death day." After saying that, he climbed into the window and stumbled downstairs.
Jiang Shuya lay motionless on the ground, barely clinging to life. Sun Qi rushed forward and scooped her up in his arms: "Sister-in-law, how are you? Can you get up? I'll take you to the hospital!"
Jiang Shuya, who was in a coma, was taken to the hospital at some point.
The next morning at dawn, Jiang Shuya woke up to find an IV drip in her arm, the anti-inflammatory fluid dripping into her veins. Sun Qi, who had been lying beside the bed, slowly raised his head when he saw Jiang Shuya wake up. His fatigue vanished instantly, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He got up to pour Jiang Shuya a cup of hot water and handed it to her, saying, "Sister-in-law, you're awake. This is Jiangdao Health Center. The doctor treated the wounds on your face, and now you're on an anti-inflammatory IV drip. You can go home after it's finished."
Jiang Shuya felt a pang of guilt seeing the bruises and bloodstains on Sun Qi's face and the wound on her lip. She took the water glass and said, "Thank you for coming to save me last night. Please promise me you won't call the police or tell anyone about what happened yesterday. I don't want anyone else to know."
It was precisely because Huang Minghao wasn't home that she couldn't make a fuss. There were plenty of onlookers in Xixia Village, and even the slightest rumor would be distorted completely by them, becoming a fascinating fabrication. Even if her mother-in-law found out, she wouldn't side with her; she would only continue to ridicule her.
Sun Qi nodded upon hearing this: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand. I won't tell anyone. But what about Huang Tao? Are we just going to let him go like this?"
Thinking of that desperate criminal, Sun Qi felt very resentful that he had been let go like that. He believed that the law should punish him and make him go back to prison.
“He won’t dare to come again. If he does, I will call the police.” Jiang Shuya touched the injury on her face and found that her forehead was covered with gauze and her face was a little swollen. She called a nurse, asked for a mask, and said to Sun Qi, “You can go back now! I’m fine. I’ll go to work as usual. I have things to do after I finish my IV drip.”
Seeing her so calm, Sun Qi was a little taken aback. Then he thought about how heavy his workload was today, and forced himself to remain calm: "Okay, I'll go to work now. Call me if you need anything, sister-in-law."
After finishing her IV drip, Jiang Shuya, wearing a mask, went home alone, changed her clothes, took a hot shower, and quickly tidied her hair. She noticed her clothes were covered in dust and stains, some torn, especially her red down jacket. Since it had been repaired last time, the friction on the floor had created more and more holes, rendering it completely unwearable. She packed all her clothes from yesterday into a plastic bag, deciding against keeping them. She then put on another green puffer jacket, wore a mask, ate breakfast at the ferry, and continued to the mall to pick up her purchases.
Wearing a mask the whole time while picking up the goods, Zheng Jia looked at the gauze on her forehead with curiosity: "Xiaoya, what happened to your face? Did someone bully you?"
Jiang Shuya avoided her scrutiny: "No, I accidentally tripped and fell yesterday."
"How could you fall and get like this?" Zheng Jia looked at her with suspicion.
"Yes, I really did fall and hurt myself. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be alright in a few days. Look, there are customers at the door. Go and greet them!"
Jiang Shuya hurriedly sent her away.
Until the afternoon, Jiang Shuya kept her hat on the whole time she was facing Wang Ziliang. When she was shipping the goods, a gust of wind suddenly blew her hat off, and Wang Ziliang still saw the injury on her forehead. He looked shocked and said, "How did you get injured like this? Who hit you? And look at your face."
Jiang Shuya subconsciously flinched and pulled her mask up: "I accidentally missed a step and fell like this. I hope I didn't scare you!"
Wang Ziliang shook his head: "You're lying, you're injured like this. You were obviously beaten up. Look at your ear, it's scratched too. I'm a deliveryman, I've seen all kinds of accidental injuries, and I've been injured myself. How could you be like this?"
"Just treat it as an accidental injury. Don't ask any more questions. Just make sure you understand my goods and don't put the shipping labels on the wrong ones. There were returns a few days ago, so you must have confused them again." Jiang Shuya didn't want him to meddle, so she brought up the mistake from last time.
Wang Ziliang looked helpless: "Boss, you've already told me about this, okay? I promise it won't happen again." After saying that, he quietly told Jiang Shuyue about the situation.
Sure enough, I received a call from my cousin not long after. Not wanting to worry her, I brushed it off lightly.
When I got home, it was completely dark again. As soon as I entered, I heard a snoring sound. I guessed that he had been fighting for a whole day and night yesterday, staying up all night, and went straight to sleep when he got home.
After tidying up the mess in the room from yesterday, Jiang Shuya received a call from Sun Qi. Fearing that Huang Tao would come to the door again, Sun Qi suggested calling the police, saying he could testify. Jiang Shuya hurriedly told him that someone was home tonight and there was no need to worry.
