Just when Xiang Mianmian was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.
Xiang Lili, who was under the bed, didn't say a word. Xiang Mianmian sat up in surprise and asked, "Who is it?"
"I, your brother, Mianmian, please come out for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."
Xiang Lihua's muffled voice came from outside, so Xiang Mianmian had to climb down from the bed, wondering what could have happened so late at night that couldn't be told tomorrow?
She smoothed her messy hair, opened the door and asked, "What's wrong? You don't have money for your wedding and you need to borrow from me, do you?"
Just make a little joke to lighten the mood. Xiang Lihua shouldn't be so poor.
"What are you borrowing? I'm just giving you a break to talk. Everyone's asleep. Let's go out and talk."
Xiang Lihua knew the soundproofing conditions of his home. He led his men out of the house and, reaching an open area, whispered, "Your sister-in-law said today that you gave her a gun?"
It turned out that the trouble was caused by that pistol. It would have been better if he hadn't borrowed money.
Xiang Mianmian was fearless: "Well, don't worry, I have a gun license, it's legal and compliant, there's no problem."
Xiang Lihua picked up her hand with full of suspicion and checked it. Except for the calluses on her right middle finger where she wrote, the rest of her hand was smooth and delicate.
He scoffed and put his hand down: "Do you know how to turn off the safety? Have you ever fired a gun? Don't accidentally hurt innocent people!"
How come the words that show care for others have such a bad taste when they come out of his mouth?
Xiang Mianmian was puzzled: "Don't worry, I've received professional training. Besides, this thing has a short range, so I rely on it for emergencies."
Xiang Lihua already felt that something was wrong with the surroundings: "Why is there someone watching over our house?"
He was a little bit incredulous and looked around. Relying on his years of night combat experience, he really figured out the positions of the two lurking people.
Xiang Mianmian was a little speechless: "You only realized it now? Your perception is too slow."
With this level of sensitivity, it would be difficult to use it on the battlefield.
Xiang Lihua had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight. "Why am I so alert in my own home? You knew these people were watching our house, so why didn't you say anything?"
"Because it's to protect me, brother, can you think about it more broadly?"
He stood there in shock, turning stiffly to look Xiang Mianmian up and down. "Are you that powerful? Are you still my sister? When did you change?"
In Xiang Lihua's impression, his younger sister was still the little kid making matchboxes. In the blink of an eye, she has grown up, and it is beyond his imagination that she is becoming a teacher in a technical secondary school.
Tell him now, Xiang Mianmian actually has a guard and a pistol?!
Being questioned about whether she had been replaced, Xiang Mianmian felt guilty, but she didn't show it on her face: "Go away, you're just saying stupid things. If I have nothing else to do this evening, I'm going back to sleep."
She pushed Xiang Lihua away coldly and ruthlessly and prepared to go back to sleep.
Xiang Lihua couldn't believe it. He quickly caught up with Xiang Mianmian and put his hand on her shoulder. "What on earth did you do? Are you in danger?"
His mind was full of dangerous missions, otherwise why would the higher-ups give Xiang Mianmian such strong security guarantees?
Generally speaking, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Xiang Lihua was very panicked, fearing that his sister would be in danger and he would be unable to help.
Xiang Mianmian knew she had been treated well for fixing the computer, but she couldn't say, "Keep it a secret. I'm going to sleep. If you ask me again, I'll put you in the dark room."
She ran away so quickly that even the agile Xiang Lihua didn't react.
Seeing his sister running away like a rabbit, Xiang Lihua frowned: "Am I that scary? And it's still a secret. What kind of good unit is this?"
He made a mental note to look into the matter, then muttered his doubts and went back to sleep.
The two old men and women who were hiding in the dark and watching wiped their sweat. They really couldn't beat someone like Xiang Lihua, who was young, strong and professionally trained. They were just scared.
As the few people fell asleep, the Xiang family returned to peace.
However, the Xian family in the suburbs of the county town kept the lights on and did not sleep all night.
Ever since Xian Baogen and his three laborers all went in, the Xian family has no strong labor force left.
Grandpa Xian's job was first given to Li Tao, and then sold to Gou Fugui in black and white by Mother Xian as bait. No matter how much trouble he made, he would never be able to return to the Xian family with this job.
A student taught by Grandma Xian committed arson and resigned immediately, and the school did not dare to hire him.
Even the teacher's housing they lived in was sold by Grandma Xian in exchange for the opportunity to visit her son, daughter-in-law and grandson, so the whole family of elderly, weak, women and children rented a house in the suburbs.
Originally, the eldest granddaughter Xian Zhaodi was very capable. She was good at driving tractors and racing. She was a hope, but unfortunately she had left the family long ago.
The second granddaughter Xian Niandi was married to the Li family because Xian Baogen accidentally killed Li Li. She has not received any news from her parents in the past year and doesn't want to care about her parents' family at all.
