Chapter 12: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
"Mom has said it, and everyone said they believed it, but who knows what they think behind their backs."
Xia Yuan's lips were pouting so much that a sesame oil bottle could be hung on them, and her eyes were red.
She didn't believe that this matter had no instigation from Chu Sheng and his mother. There were not many people around in the morning, so how did the gossip spread?
It seems that we still need to solve the root cause.
"I know, I'll handle it. Next time, just pretend you didn't hear what dad said, so you don't get beaten again."
Xia Xian quickly decided in her mind who to deal with. She calmed down, touched her younger brother's head, and gave him gentle instructions.
"So how are you going to solve this, sister? I'll help you!"
Xia Xian originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw his bright and expectant eyes, she suddenly couldn't bear to refuse.
In her previous life, the reason why her mother became depressed and passed away so quickly was not only because of her, but also because of her younger brother. He had a bad temper and was impulsive. He knew that Chu Sheng bullied her and had an ambiguous relationship with his white moonlight Bai Lian. The sixteen-year-old boy drank to give himself courage, and then took a knife to settle the score with Chu Sheng, saying that he would chop him up. Unexpectedly, he could not drink much, and he was too drunk after two sips of wine. He fell into the ditch and drowned before he even reached the Chu family.
Her brother was the pain she dared not mention in her previous life.
He is only sixteen years old, and his life has just begun...
As Xia Xian thought about it, tears began to well up in her eyes again.
"Sister, why are you crying? If you don't want me to go, then I won't go. Don't cry!"
Xia Yuan was so anxious that she stamped her feet. She didn't know what was wrong with her sister and could only comfort her and make reassurances.
Xia Xian squatted down and grabbed his shoulders tightly, emphasizing with tears in her eyes.
"Xiao Yuan, you listen to me. No matter what happens in the future, don't act impulsively, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you! Don't cry, you're so pretty, you'll become ugly if you cry too much."
Xia Yuan clumsily wiped her sister's tears, and her simple words warmed the heart of the listeners.
"You are not allowed to drink anymore... Never mind, I will train your alcohol tolerance and make sure you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
Xia Xian was about to say something, but she changed her mind.
Instead of avoiding drinking, it is better to let him sober up after drinking so that it is less likely to cause accidents.
"Oh, as long as you are happy, I will do whatever you say!"
Xia Yuan smiled and continued to help Xia Xian wipe away her tears.
Xia Xian was very satisfied with her brother's obedience and was about to take out some money to reward him, but when she saw the dried porridge on his fingers and the blackened nail crevices, she instantly withdrew her emotion and stepped back with a twitch of her mouth.
"Xia Xiaoyuan, can you wash your hands? You haven't washed your nails in a long time! Did you secretly dig up other people's coal slag again?"
Xia Xian grabbed his ear and scolded him in frustration, glaring at him with her shiny black almond eyes.
"Hehe, I won't dare to do that next time. I'll go wash my hands right away!"
Xia Yuan put her hands behind her back and smiled at her ingratiatingly. Both the brother and sister had almond-shaped eyes, which looked particularly beautiful when wet.
When Xia Yuan smiles, she has a faint dimple, which makes her look even more adorable, especially now that she is still young and has a little baby fat. She hasn't grown up yet, so she looks like a little girl.
Xia Xian couldn't bring herself to do anything to her brother who was acting coquettishly and pretending to be innocent, so she could only pinch his ear and give up.
"Don't do this again next time. If you behave, I'll buy you some candy."
"Okay, but do you have money?"
"Don't worry, I will be very rich in the future. I have money now, so I can eat as much candy as I want!"
"Oh, sister, I won't look down on you if you don't brag."
The moon is on the branches, and the hazy moonlight like a veil shines down, stretching the figures of a big and a small holding hands very long...
The next day, Xia Xian took Xia Yuan to knock on the door early in the morning.
The person who opened the door was Aunt Feng, who gossiped in front of her father.
"Xia Xian? Why are you here? What's the matter?"
When Aunt Feng saw Xia Xian, she felt guilty for a moment and quickly blocked the door, not allowing her to enter.
"Who is it?"
Aunt Feng's husband Chen San had not yet gone to work. When he heard the noise, he rolled up his sleeves and came out.
Xia Xian said to Aunt Feng in a low voice with an expressionless face.
"If you dare to talk nonsense and destroy my reputation again, I promise to make you feel worse than today!"
After she finished speaking, her face changed immediately. She put her hands on her chest, and with tears in her eyes, she cried weakly to Chen San.
"Uncle Chen! I finally see you, woooo."
"I'm sorry. There's something I've kept in my heart for a long time. I didn't want to tell you and ruin the harmony of your family, but I never expected that Aunt Liu would want to force me to death in order to silence me!"
"I just became a widow and she not only said that I was unlucky in marriage, but she also spread rumors that I was cheating on her! My dad went home and beat me up. Does she think I'm as lonely as she is? As soon as you leave the house, she goes to find a man! Granny Chen mentioned this to me back then, but I was young and didn't dare to speak up. Uncle Chen, you have to forgive me. I didn't mean to hide it from you for so many years..."
Xia Xian was crying at the door, but that did not affect her clarity and loudness when she spoke. Her voice could be heard from far away, and almost everyone in the entire building could hear it.
Chen San and Aunt Feng's faces changed drastically when they heard this!
Aunt Feng even jumped up and pointed at Xia Xian and cursed at her.
"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you slander me right away! You little girl is going to die!"
"Old Chen, don't listen to her nonsense. Our children are already this big..."
She was visibly panicking. When the old memories were dug up, she was terrified.
Chen San pushed her away and didn't care even though she hit the door frame. He asked Xia Xian with a grim face.
"Where did you see her flirting with another wild man?"
"It was over there in the factory warehouse. I saw them when I was playing with Xiaoyuan in my arms. They came out in disheveled clothes... Ah! How could I have said that!"
"No, no, Uncle Chen, I didn't see it with my own eyes! I shouldn't have interfered in your family affairs! I'm sorry, I talked nonsense, I don't want to destroy your family, I'd better leave first!"
As Xia Xian spoke, she covered her mouth and frowned in annoyance. She pulled Xia Xiaoyuan to leave quickly, but Xia Xiaoyuan clung to the wall and spoke loudly.
"My sister is not talking nonsense! She is just too kind! Uncle Chen, you must teach Aunt Feng a lesson! Not only did she cheat on the man herself, but she also wrongly accused my sister. She must have done it herself to be so skilled! If you don't punish her, she will take the wild man home!"
"Xiao Yuan, Aunt Feng and Uncle Chen are old now, it's not bad for them to live together, at least they have a companion. Don't say anything, Aunt Feng will never dare to do such a thing again in the future."
Xia Xian advised Xia Yuan with difficulty, pursed her lips, and then weakly comforted Chen San.
"Uncle Chen, it's all over. Forget it."
Which man can let this kind of thing go! The past was once again opened up, naked in front of everyone, Chen San's face was as green as his head! He grabbed Aunt Feng's hair fiercely and slammed the door shut.
"Feng Xiaofen! How dare you, a bitch, cheat on me without telling me!"
"I didn't! I won't say nonsense anymore! That little girl is taking revenge on me! Old Chen, calm down!"
"ah!"
The thick door panels could not block out the screams. Xia Xian listened with an indifferent look on her face and no longer pretended.
Aunt Feng deserved it. She had indeed cheated on her and then spread dirty rumors about her. If she doesn't get taught a lesson, she will probably never change in her life.
Xia Xian glanced coldly at the people who were crowding upstairs and downstairs to watch the fun, and gave a bland warning.
"If anyone dares to say anything bad to my family again, I won't be happy, and neither will anyone else!"
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and saying something else, Xia Xian didn't care about other people's reactions, and left this dangerous place without looking back, taking Xia Yuan's hand.
They still have another battle to fight, and it must be finished before ten o'clock!
What comes next is the highlight!
