"miser."
Yu Jiu shook her head, ignoring the dog, and held Xiao An'an to play with her. Recently, An'an has been sleeping less, and when no one comes to buy things, Yu Jiu always holds Xiao An'an to amuse her, managing to go to work and take care of the child at the same time.
Xu Zijiang will pick her up as usual after get off work in the afternoon.
"What are your plans to do with that Manager Li?"
On the way, Xu Zijiang suddenly blurted out a sentence, which made Yu Jiu choke and cough a few times.
"Cough cough cough, you found out?"
"You were reported and arrested for no reason, so I have to investigate why. It was that Manager Li who reported it. If he hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known he had designs on you!"
Xu Zijiang was still a bit angry. Yu Jiu hadn't told him about such a big thing. He'd kept it from him, saying that Manager Li wanted more money and that cooperating with him wasn't worthwhile, which was why the deal fell through. Xu Zijiang believed him immediately; after all, some people are always greedy. He never expected this scumbag to be trying to sleep with his wife. This scumbag was truly shameless!
"Well, I just didn't think it was necessary to tell you. Anyway, I tricked him once, and he tried to take advantage of me, but I'm so smart, how could I let him take advantage of me, right? Besides, I was just afraid that you would get angry and go to beat him up, giving him something to hold against you, which would make things even more difficult."
After all, even though he wanted to take advantage of me, I didn't have any evidence. If it ended up at the police station, it would be difficult for us to explain ourselves, and we might end up suffering losses.
Yu Jiu explained to him in a gentle and kind tone.
"Then you should tell me even more. If you don't, what if he tries to trip you up again and I don't know? If you're in danger, what will I and An'an do? Besides, this shows you don't trust me. Do you think I would be so impulsive as to beat him up?"
Yes, I will definitely go and beat him up, but I can wait until it's dark and stormy night. I don't necessarily have to beat him up in front of everyone. I want him to suffer in silence, unable to complain!
Xu Zijiang said with a dark face and murderous intent, Yu Jiu's prediction was correct. Xu Zijiang would definitely beat him up if he knew about this. However, he was already being low-key by waiting until the dark of night to beat someone up anonymously.
Yu Jiu was afraid that he would get even angrier, so she didn't stop him anymore.
"Then go ahead, but remember not to expose yourself and leave him with evidence. Also, hit him hard, but absolutely do not kill him. It's not a big deal, just teach him a lesson. You really can't risk your life."
Yu Jiu had seen far too many people who coveted her looks, and now she wouldn't care much about someone like Manager Li. However, his attempt to teach her a lesson by reporting her was truly a poor strategy, and if she wasn't mistaken, Manager Li was definitely waiting for her behind the scenes.
If the report succeeds the first time, he will definitely threaten her to accompany him or something, otherwise he will report her again, completely messing up her life and work. So it's not wrong for Xu Zi to beat him up badly.
"Okay, I got it. I promise I'll beat that bastard to a pulp!"
Xu Zi said fiercely, "I'm back today. Tomorrow night I'll go and wait for that bastard and beat him up!"
To be honest, if it weren't for the need for someone to stay home and watch over An'an, she would have liked to go and beat up Manager Li. She also wanted to experience what it felt like to do something bad under the cover of darkness.
Back home, Yu Jiu quickly warmed her icy hands and then used her warm hands to rub An An's little face.
"Baby, are you cold? You're not wearing enough clothes, your face is all red from the wind. Mommy will put some face cream on you later, I promise it will make your skin white and tender, so you can be the prettiest little baby!"
"The weather is getting colder and colder. It's fine if it doesn't rain, but it will be even colder and more inconvenient if it rains. How about starting tomorrow, you don't have to take An'an with you. Let me take her instead. That way, she won't get chilled on the way. You should also wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."
Xu Zijiang frowned and gently touched his daughter's little face, feeling very sorry for her. Her face was probably red from the wind. They didn't dare to cover her face, afraid that they might accidentally cover her nose, which could easily cause problems if they weren't careful along the way.
"Will that work? It's getting cold, so there's not as much farm work to do, but you still have other things to do, like attending meetings. You can't exactly carry a child while you work."
The thought of Xu Zi holding a child while talking to people in a meeting made her laugh. Wouldn't anyone think it was wrong for him to do that?
"It's okay. Everyone has to take care of their kids sometimes. Don't worry about it, leave An'an to me."
Xu Zijiang boasted that he would scold anyone who dared to mock him for bringing his child to work, saying, "Why can't men bring their children? That's discrimination!"
"Okay, then you can take care of her. Let me know if you get too busy. Anyway, she's just a child. I think if you dress her properly, a little wind won't hurt her. In fact, it will help her get used to it and increase her immunity."
I've heard that over-protecting children can actually be detrimental, making them more prone to illness.
Yu Jiu loves her child, but she's not overly anxious about him. She takes care of him as she sees fit. On the contrary, Xu Zijiang has already shown his doting side when An'an is so young.
“It’s definitely not good to take care of her too roughly, our An’an is a little princess.”
Xu Zijiang said matter-of-factly.
"Alright, alright, little princess, you can take care of me however you like. Let's eat!"
Yu Jiu was too lazy to scold him. Let him be a little princess. It's better for his parents to love him than for them to not love him at all.
The next day, Yu Jiu finished breakfast and went to work by herself, leaving An'an at home for Xu Zijiang to take care of. When she returned, Xu Zijiang handed An'an over to Yu Jiu before preparing to put a sack over Manager Li and beat him up.
"I've already eaten. Eat your food while it's hot. Don't wait for me tonight; I don't know when I'll be back."
"Okay, be careful."
Yu Jiu called out her instructions, but how could she not be worried? She had been a little worried ever since he left. She wasn't worried that Xu Zijiang wouldn't be able to subdue Manager Li with his strength; she was just afraid that passersby would see them, and if there were eyewitnesses, it would be quite troublesome.
However, as it turned out, Xu Zijiang wasn't that stupid. He had already scouted the area. After Manager Li finished work, he wouldn't go back immediately. He would wander around the department store for another half an hour or so before leisurely strolling back.
He probably didn't want to go back so early, lest his wife order him around doing chores and cooking. He looks shifty and doesn't seem to do anything good. So, Xu Zijiang coming to obey him now is perfectly timely.
As expected, Xu Zijiang waited in the department store for 10 minutes before he saw Manager Li lock the door and come out. Xu Zijiang silently followed behind him.
They were carrying sacks, ropes, sticks, and other tools for committing the crime.
