It was a knife about twenty centimeters long, often used to cut watermelons at fruit stalls, but at this time it looked particularly terrifying.
Ji Huaizhi bent down, picked it up slowly, and patted it in his palm from time to time.
His face was cold and sharp, the blade reflected a cold light in the sunlight, and his pair of cool peach blossom eyes glanced at Zhang Xiuying and Xu Xiangdong, as if they were the fish under the chopping board.
Zhang Xiuying and Xu Xiangdong were frightened by Ji Huaizhi and couldn't help trembling.
Zhang Xiuying even called out to Li Yang, "Sister-in-law, what is he doing? Tell him to put the knife away!"
Xu Xiangdong's expression wasn't looking good either, but he still managed to stand in front of Zhang Xiuying. "That's right...why are you carrying a knife with you?"
Seeing how frightened the two were, Li Yang's anger finally dissipated a little, but he didn't want to let them go just like that.
Ji Huaizhi happened to glance at her at this moment. Li Yang understood and chuckled, saying, "Auntie, brother-in-law, we are just here to visit my cousin and the children, and to see if anyone is abusing them. Why are you so nervous?"
Zhang Xiuying and Xu Xiangdong knew that Li Yang was mocking them. They wanted to defend themselves, but they were afraid of the knife in Ji Huaizhi's hand. They could only secretly hate Li Xue's family for being such scoundrels.
Xu Xiangdong felt Zhang Xiuying trembling as she clung to his arm, so he suppressed his fear and forced a smile: "Xiao Yang, look at what you said. Li Xue gave birth to my Xu family's child, how can we not feel pain?
It’s Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of things to buy, so I went out with my mom for a while.”
Seeing that Xu Xiangdong didn't cry until he saw the coffin, Li Yang raised his chin slightly and said, "Oh?" "Didn't you say you were going to buy a lot of things? Where are the things? Why did you come back empty-handed?"
Xu Xiangdong was choked by Li Yang's question and had to continue lying: "I forgot to bring money, so I came back to get it."
Hearing this, Li Yang's face immediately turned cold: "Xu Xiangdong, even if you want to make up a story, make it more convincing. Do you think I'm your cousin and will let you lie to me?"
Ji Huaizhi also stepped forward, and the knife in his hand flashed past Xu Xiangdong.
Xu Xiangdong was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, and his lower back hit the back of the chair, making a loud noise.
Li Xue, who was inside the house, heard the noise and called out, "Xiao Yang?"
Li Yang smiled and said towards Li Xue's room, "Oh, it's okay. I accidentally bumped into the chair. You take care of the child and have a good rest. I'll close the door and leave."
When Li Yang spoke, he stared at Zhang Xiuying and Xu Xiangdong, as if threatening them not to speak carelessly.
Li Xue didn't suspect anything and said, "Be careful on the road," then fell asleep with the child.
Seeing Li Yang being so bold in her own home, Zhang Xiuying wanted to get angry but was afraid of attracting gossip from the nosy neighbors. She could only swallow her anger, biting her cheek and said unhappily, "My dear sister, I don't know how we have offended you that you have to show off like this in our house?"
Li Yang scoffed lightly, "Do I need to remind you of all the bad things your Xu family has done?
I'm not like my cousin. I've always been intolerant of dirty things. Let's not talk about the past for now. If you come next time and see my cousin and the child like today, your good days will be over."
When dealing with people like Zhang Xiuying and Xu Xiangdong who bully the weak and fear the strong and are selfish, reasoning will not work. The only way is to find out what they fear the most, either by threatening or warning them.
Sure enough, the mother and son's expressions changed again and again, and finally they stopped talking.
Li Yang knew when to stop and smiled at Ji Huaizhi: "It's getting late, let's go back."
Ji Huaizhi nodded, a smile in his eyes, not like the living devil just now: "Okay."
But when he put away the knife, he seemed to be "careless" again. The knife flew out of his palm and fell squarely between Xu Xiangdong's legs.
This time, Xu Xiangdong was so frightened that he lost his soul. He let out a quick whimper from his throat, fell backwards and fell to the ground.
Zhang Xiuying was also frightened and stood there in a daze. It was a beat later that she remembered to help Xu Xiangdong.
This time, he didn't even dare to say a word of dissatisfaction, he just hoped that the two people would leave quickly.
Li Yang suppressed her laughter, wrinkled her nose at Ji Huaizhi, and said to Xu Xiangdong, "Brother-in-law, you'd better control yourself from now on. Next time, my man won't be so accurate."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Xu Xiangdong, who was about to pee his pants with fright, and walked out of the door with Ji Huaizhi.
After they walked a short distance, Li Yang couldn't hold back his laughter.
Her eyes curved into moons, happy and proud.
Ji Huaizhi stood aside, just looking at her quietly, and couldn't help but put on a faint smile: "So happy?"
"Of course I'm happy." Li Yang nodded. "I finally got rid of my anger."
She had long wanted to teach Zhang Xiuying and her son a lesson, but she had neither the opportunity nor the ability. She didn't expect Ji Huaizhi to help her do it.
She asked Ji Huaizhi: "When did you put the knife in your pocket? When you bought the red envelope?"
And you pinned it behind your waist?
She and Ji Huaizhi walked side by side all the way without noticing anything.
Facing her inquiring and admiring gaze, Ji Huaizhi coughed uncomfortably and replied, "Yeah."
The little girl was not the type to like talking about things, but this time she couldn't help herself and somewhat revealed Li Xue's current situation. Looking at the little girl's angry face and the grocery store on the street, what happened next seemed to go on as she pleased.
The trick of scaring people with a knife is a trick that has been used for many years. Unexpectedly, it was used again because of her.

On the way back, the two went to the vegetable market together to buy vegetables and couplets.
