"Does this have anything to do with me wanting to know what really happened?"
Looking at Qin Yaxin, Song Lan's tone was emotionless: "Have you forgotten what I said?"
"No, no!"
Qin Yaxin shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.
"Then tell me more specifically."
You're not as shrewd as them, yet you dare to provoke them? Don't you think you're so bold?
"My brother Guoqing and I were walking along that road when we suddenly ran into Song Jiaojiao. As soon as she saw me, she glared at me and spat on the ground. I was so angry that I said I would gouge out her eyes... Then she lunged at me, saying, 'Come on then...'"
To avoid being scratched by her, and... and because I didn't want Song Jiaojiao to think I was a coward, I... and I couldn't help myself, so I went to meet her, and then Song Jiaojiao and I started wrestling.
"Sister-in-law, I don't think I did anything wrong. Song Jiaojiao really deserved a beating. If I had my second brother's strength, I would have beaten her to a pulp!"
Qin Yaxin said indignantly. After listening, Song Lan asked, "Is it worth it to make yourself into this crazy state?"
"It's not a matter of whether it's worth it or not, I just don't want to back down, and I want to give my sister-in-law a good venting of her anger!"
She was injured, but Song Jiaojiao wasn't much better off; in fact, her injuries were more severe.
Song Lan: "When it comes to scheming, you're no match for Song Jiaojiao. Haven't I told you that before?"
Qin Yaxin hummed in agreement, then added, "But when it comes down to it, I can't think about all that!"
"If you've been targeted by a venomous snake, you'd better keep your eyes open from now on. Think about what I said all the time and let it serve as a constant reminder."
It seems she needs to have a good talk with Boyan when she has time, and keep a close eye on her impulsive sister-in-law. Otherwise, if she falls into Song Jiaojiao's trap one day, it will definitely be a big deal!
"Sister-in-law, I will be careful. You can rest assured that I will never be foolish enough to let Song Jiaojiao scheme against me."
As long as it doesn't cost her her life, she's not afraid of Song Jiaojiao, that venomous snake.
Besides, in a society governed by law, anyone who would dare to harm her would have to be Song Jiaojiao looking for death.
But she didn't believe Song Jiaojiao would do that. After all, a person only has one life, and nothing is better than living well.

"Be careful on the road!"
At the entrance of the Song family compound, Li Jumei gave Song Lan some instructions.
"Okay, Mom."
Song Lan responded with a smile.
More than ten minutes ago, Song Lan and Qin Yaxin followed Li Jumei and her family into the courtyard. She gave Qin Yaxin some quick treatment for the scratches on her face and neck. After Qin Yaxin had her hair braided and her clothes tidied up, Song Lan suggested to Li Jumei that they go back to the factory.
Realizing it was already late afternoon, Li Jumei didn't linger. She and Song Qinghui escorted Song Lan and Qin Yaxin to the courtyard gate. Nearby, Song Qingbin pushed his bicycle, while Song Guoqing, carrying his schoolbag, sat on the back seat.
After listening to his mother and younger sister finish speaking, Song Qingbin called out to his mother, "Mom, we're leaving now," and then rode his bicycle with Song Guoqing on the back to catch up with Song Lan and Qin Yaxin.
"Thank you, Guoqing brother!"
Qin Yaxin slowed down her cycling speed, and when Song Qingbin's bike passed her, she smiled and thanked Song Guoqing.
"ah?"
Song Guoqing paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something. He scratched the back of his head and said, "I didn't actually do anything."
"Little brother Guoqing, don't be modest. If it weren't for your help, I think I would have suffered a great loss at Song Jiaojiao's hands."
Putting aside the fact that she was younger than Song Jiaojiao, Song Jiaojiao had worked in the village for a short time, but she had gained some strength. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to twist her to the ground as soon as she grabbed her.
"Actually... I've wanted to beat that person up for a long time, but I never had the chance. Now that you're fighting with her today, I'm helping my sister get revenge!"
Song Guoqing spoke somewhat embarrassedly, but he couldn't help but steal a glance at Song Lan, only to be met with Song Lan's gaze. He grinned and chuckled in a rather ingratiating manner.
"You're taking sides, aren't you?"
Song Lan asked.
"Um."
Song Guoqing nodded.
"It's better to avoid trouble. Be more careful in the future, otherwise, things could get out of hand if they escalate."
With a hint of a smile in her eyes, Song Lan lectured her younger brother.
"I see."
Song Guoqing nodded again.
At this moment, Song Qingbin spoke up: "Little sister..."
"Um?"
Song Lan was puzzled.
"Can my marriage with Han Bailan really be resolved before the wedding date?"
The thought of marrying a woman who might cheat on him made Song Qingbin wish he could immediately sever all ties with Han Bailan.
"With Second Brother keeping an eye on things, Eldest Brother can just wait patiently."
She'll discuss it with the system later, and have it monitor Han Bailan at all times. Maybe it won't be long before it can find something on her future sister-in-law.
“I’ve been really upset lately, and I can’t figure out how I ended up dating Han Bailan.”
Song Qingbin sighed deeply.
"Could it be that Mom kept urging you to find a partner, so you got engaged without even being picky?"
Song Guoqing interjected.
"It has nothing to do with our mother."
Song Qingbin shook his head and then said, "I've thought about it, and the problem probably lies in the fact that I saved Uncle Han."
"Did Uncle Han introduce his daughter to you?"
Song Guoqing asked.
“There was no direct introduction,” Song Qingbin said. “Uncle Han took me to his home for a few meals, and Han Bailan would occasionally strike up a conversation with me. Later, without realizing it, we started dating…”
Then, Uncle Han asked me when I would tell my parents to finalize my engagement with Han Bailan. And just like that, Han Bailan and I became engaged.
"Brother, aren't you very clear-headed?! Comrade Han's father took a liking to your looks and character and was thinking of creating opportunities for his daughter, while you were like a frog being slowly boiled in water, thus settling your life's major event."
Song Lan joked with a smile.
"Boiling a frog in lukewarm water?"
Song Qingbin smiled wryly: "Little sister, you're teasing me."
"I had absolutely no such intention."
Song Lan smiled, shook her head, and flatly denied it.
"You know, even if I can't tell from your voice, do you think I can't see it? Look at your expression right now. If you said you weren't teasing your older brother, I wouldn't believe it."
Song Qingbin shook his head helplessly, and then said, "In my interactions with Han Bailan, I know she's a bit spoiled and has a bad temper, but overall she's alright. Most importantly, she doesn't have any malicious intentions. But I never expected... that she would become so aggressive after seeing you. What do you think she was thinking?"
"You'll have to ask Comrade Han; I can't give you an answer."
Song Lan shook her head.
"I know, I know, it must be jealousy. Brother Song's fiancée is jealous of my sister-in-law's beauty, so she got jealous and wanted to attack her. But she overlooked the fact that Brother Song would protect my sister-in-law!"
Qin Yaxin spoke eloquently, as if she had been there herself.
