Chapter 116 My Waist Bag Is Being Targeted
This fight resulted in both sides suffering heavy losses.
The Bai family, being outnumbered, didn't gain any advantage. However, because Qin Weimin came to help in the end, the Qin family members were also injured, and they all looked dejected.
Qin Weimin took Bai Zhenzhu and ran away first, leaving Bai Xiaohui and her husband all alone, surrounded by a row of Qin family members.
Logically, this should have been a good opportunity for revenge, but with Zou Qianjin still watching them menacingly, the Qin family dared not make a move. They could only glare at the two men and say, "Pah! Bad luck!"
Bai Xiaohui and Qi Baifan retorted sharply, "Pah! You're the unlucky ones!"
Zou Qianjin: "..."
He snapped angrily, "You guys think I don't exist, right?"
"If you cause trouble again, you'll be punished by cleaning toilets for two more months!"
The two sides then ceased hostilities.
Public toilets are so smelly! They're not like Chang Dafeng who's obsessed with that smell, so they don't want to clean up that stuff!
Chang Dafeng: ...Damn it, you're the only one who has a special fondness for talent!
The Qin and Bai families lived opposite each other. After exchanging a glare, the two families walked towards each other.
I must say, this scene actually had a dramatic effect, just like in a movie.
Qin Weimin, who took the goddess back first, stayed at home humbly coaxing Bai Zhenzhu.
Since the fight, Bai Zhenzhu has kept a sullen face and hasn't said a word, nor has she paid any attention to Qin Weimin.
She sat in the chair with a cold expression, not even glancing at Qin Weimin.
In the chaotic battle, Bai Zhenzhu didn't gain any advantage. Instead, she was ambushed several times by Qin Miaomiao and Aunt Yan, sustaining numerous injuries. Not counting the hidden wounds under her clothes, the two bruises around her eyes and the scratches alone made Qin Weimin feel guilty.
Damn it, which little bastard hit me like that? Why did he aim so hard at Aunt Bai's eyeball?
That's so inconsiderate!
He coughed lightly and asked cautiously, "Pearl, does it hurt? I'll go boil some hot water for you to wash your face and then apply a hot compress?"
Bai Zhenzhu sneered inwardly, but her eyes reddened and tears streamed down her cheeks.
This distressed Qin Weimin greatly. He hurriedly asked, "Pearl, Pearl, what's wrong? Is it hurting badly somewhere? Come on, I'll take you to the hospital to get it checked out."
Bai Zhenzhu ignored him and turned her face away, refusing to look at him.
Qin Weimin became even more anxious. "Oh dear, what's wrong with you?"
Just then, Bai Xiaohui returned with Qi Baifan and was taken aback by the situation.
But neither of the two people in the main room had time to pay attention to her.
Bai Zhenzhu was still crying, not saying a word, just silently shedding tears.
Qin Weimin hovered around her like a headless fly.
...
Seeing this, Bai Xiaohui very tactfully pulled Qi Baifan to their own room. She knew her mother well; her mother was definitely going to use these injuries to make a fuss.
Qi Baifan also heard Bai Xiaohui talk about the mother and daughter's plans. After a moment's thought, he understood and followed her into the inner room.
The two closed the door, and Qi Baifan asked with feigned concern, "Mom, why is Mom crying? Shouldn't we go ask her?"
"It's alright, Uncle Qin is here." Their presence would only hinder her performance.
"Well, that's good, hmm~" Qi Baifan replied vaguely.
Looking at the injuries on Qi Baifan's face, Bai Xiaohui asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"
As the only man in the Bai family, Qi Baifan was the most seriously injured. It could be said that most of the Qin family brothers' firepower was directed at him.
His eyes were rimmed with dark circles, just like white pearls. Not only that, one corner of his mouth was swollen, and his face was bluish-purple, making it impossible to see his original handsome appearance.
"Are you stupid? You had nothing to do with this, but you still came over. Now look what happened, you've been beaten up like this."
Qi Baifan looked at Bai Xiaohui with deep affection in his eyes, "It's alright, I'd be willing to get hurt for you, Xiaohui, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters, ouch~"
"Xiaohui, do you know how I feel about you?"
Bai Xiaohui was moved to tears, "I know, I've always known, you idiot! Who told you to prove your feelings this way? What if something goes wrong?"
"I... I'm afraid you might misunderstand me if you see something in the future," Qi Baifan said hesitantly, his lips barely moving.
Bai Xiaohui laughed through her tears, "You silly girl, how could I? Don't I know how you feel about me? How could I misunderstand you?"
"Then it's settled. You can't misunderstand me for any reason in the future."
Bai Xiaohui rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Okay, I'll go boil two eggs and roll them in your bowl."
"I'll buy another chicken for you tomorrow to help you recover."
Qi Baifan's eyes flashed, but he refused, saying, "Why would a grown man like me need supplements? Don't waste your money!"
Bai Xiaohui was naturally also concerned about the cost. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly said, "I'll tell Uncle Qin later. He's injured anyway, so we can buy a chicken to help us recover."
...
After Qin Weimin repeatedly inquired about the injuries on Bai Zhenzhu's face, she finally spoke.
She sobbed, "Sister Yan didn't mean it. I don't mind suffering a little, as long as Brother Qin is alright."
Just as Qin Weimin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Pearl say again,
"But speaking of which, Sister Yan is really something. You two were husband and wife, how could she treat you like this? She even instigated her son to hit you, it's just too wrong!"
Qin Weimin's face darkened. That's right, he had several injuries on his face from being beaten by those bastards in his family. Before, he could comfort himself by saying that they had accidentally scratched him, but now that Bai Zhenzhu had specifically pointed it out, Qin Weimin felt that wasn't the case.
Maybe it really was that old woman Yan Xiaocui who instigated it, otherwise why would the son beat his father?
Seeing the man's expression gradually darken, Bai Zhenzhu's lips curled up subtly, but she quickly put on an expression of realizing she had said the wrong thing, "Oh dear, I shouldn't have said that."
"After all these years of marriage, Sister Yan just hasn't thought things through yet and still considers your money as her own, which is why she's so angry. She just hasn't come to her senses yet, so please don't blame her."
While seemingly trying to exonerate Aunt Yan, he was actually hitting Qin Weimin's sore spots at every turn.
Qin Weimin's anger was rising rapidly.
Why should that old woman Yan Xiaocui consider his salary as her own?!
Didn't they say they didn't want me to spend money on Pearl and her daughter?
I still insist on spending it!
So Qin Weimin said in a fit of pique, "That wool coat looks really good on you. Let's go buy another one tomorrow."
Bai Zhenzhu hesitated and nervously before agreeing.
Actually, when buying one for Bai Xiaohui, I also bought one for Bai Zhenzhu, but Bai Zhenzhu wasn't as flashy as Bai Xiaohui and didn't wear it. Now I have to buy another one, which will cost a lot of money and tickets, but Bai Zhenzhu doesn't care about men.
...
In the house across the street, the three Qin brothers were also gathered together, plotting to take Qin Weimin's money.
Although the elderly couple no longer subsidized their son after the family split up, they didn't want to see all the money in the old man's hands being spent on Bai Zhenzhu and her daughter.
Qin Jianguo slammed his hand on the table with a grim expression. "No, if this continues, all the money in my hands will be taken away by that mother and daughter."
Qin Jiandang's face was also pale. "We need to think of a solution!"
They are his father's biological sons. They don't deserve the money, so why should they give it to the mother and daughter surnamed Bai?
Qin Ziwen remained expressionless, but his words were the harshest: "We'll discuss the money on Dad later, but from now on, Mom should collect his salary directly; he can't keep it in his hands anymore."
Qin Lao Da and Qin Lao Er's eyes lit up; they both thought it was a good idea.
Since Dad gives Mom household expenses every month anyway, it's perfectly legitimate for him to just let her collect her salary. There's nothing wrong with that!
Poor Qin Weimin had no idea that his dutiful son was eyeing his salary, and was still thinking about buying pretty clothes to please his goddess.
...
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng were very satisfied with the outcome of this chaotic battle.
Neither of them are good people, so they deserve to be abused.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Qin brothers are probably going to have to figure out how to squeeze money out of Qin Weimin." Yu Junsheng said with a gloating expression, looking forward to it.
Having grown up in the same courtyard, Yu Junsheng wasn't very familiar with the two men in the Qin family, but he knew what kind of people they were. They weren't exactly kind and virtuous, so why would they be willing to let their father spend all his money on other women and his child?
Seeing that the Qin family's gate was tightly closed and Qin Ziwen had not returned to his new house, he smiled meaningfully, "I guess both families are scheming to get Qin Weimin's money."
Cheng Jiajia thought about the Qin brothers' character and wholeheartedly agreed.
"Those two women from the Bai family are no pushovers either; they'll probably squeeze some money out of Qin Weimin as well."
"I wonder who's better?" To be honest, Cheng Jia was quite curious.
Yu Junsheng chuckled, "The Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities."
...
The next day was a day off. After breakfast, the couple went to the tailor shop where they had their clothes made before. Cheng Jiajia was very satisfied with the tailor's skills. The cotton-padded jacket made for their wedding was made with fine stitches and solid materials, and it was very comfortable to wear, which was incomparable to ready-made clothes in later generations.
The two went to the tailor shop to have their measurements taken, paid with cotton coupons and cloth coupons, and the old tailor gave Cheng Jiajia a slip of paper, telling her to come back in five days to pick up her clothes.
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng had just come out of the tailor shop and turned into an alley when they came across a man and a woman locked in a corner, kissing.
They were so passionate and lost in each other's embrace, so intimate and inseparable, that they occasionally made some embarrassing noises.
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng: "!!!"
No, do you two consider this your own home?
Yu Junsheng glanced at Cheng Jiajia again with a strange expression. Sure enough, it's easy to run into these kinds of things when you're with your wife!
The last time he went out with his wife, he ran into Qi Baifan and his girlfriend. The time before that, he ran into Hu Mei and her child's father. He couldn't help but wonder, who else in the neighborhood might be having an affair that can't be seen in public next time?
"Wow~ that's really bold. She actually dares to kiss a man in the street now. It shows how 'deep' her love is."
Although Cheng Jiajia said she was disgusted, her little face was full of excitement as she looked in the direction of the couple, watching with great interest.
But as she looked at it, she hissed.
"What's wrong, honey?"
She tugged at Yu Junsheng's sleeve and whispered, "That woman looks kind of familiar, don't you think?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Junsheng carefully examined the two people in front of him and shook his head, "I don't know them."
However, his wife had only been in Beicheng for half a year, and the people she knew were either from their neighborhood or the area around the scrap yard.
Since she said the face looked familiar, it's very likely someone from the neighborhood.
He thought the man and woman didn't seem like a proper married couple, so was there going to be some big news?
Cheng Jiajia immediately thought of the group of people in the courtyard. It wasn't that she was discriminating, but she had a history of it.
None of them matched up.
Cheng Jiajia scratched her head, wondering where she had seen this person before.
Finally, after going through her memories and counting the people she had met since she transmigrated, Cheng Jiajia finally remembered.
This girl turned out to be my stepsister, Dong Siwei.
When he first arrived in this world, he shared a room with someone for a while. However, after not seeing her for several months, he completely forgot about her and almost forgot what she looked like.
When Cheng Jiajia suddenly saw it, she really didn't react.
But what kind of taste does Dong Siwei have? She's not bad-looking herself, so why does this man look so... uh, older-looking?
Judging from their clothes and appearance, they seem to be quite wealthy...
After a few moments of internal struggle, regardless of the situation, Cheng Jiajia glanced at the scene and decisively pulled Yu Junsheng away.
She had finally managed to keep her distance from this family, and it was best if they didn't bother each other. She had no intention of getting involved in their affairs.
At this moment, Cheng Jiajia never imagined that this matter would actually happen to her.
...
When I came back, I was surprised to see Yao Qinglin sitting at the gate of the Guo family's house, chatting happily with Aunt Cao. This guy even managed to get some of Aunt Cao's sunflower seeds.
Wow, that's quite a high level of treatment.
Aunt Cao usually doesn't eat sunflower seeds herself and always gets them from Cheng Jiajia. She only bought a few pounds of them this December to save for the New Year. Yao Qinglin got sunflower seeds on his first visit, which shows how much Aunt Cao likes him.
The two people inside didn't notice the commotion outside. They saw Yao Qinglin say something that made Aunt Cao burst into laughter.
"Hey young man, are you a good guy? Do you have a girlfriend? If not, I'll introduce you to a nice one!"
Startled, Yao Qinglin's hand, which was cracking sunflower seeds, trembled so much that it almost left a blur. "Auntie, no need, no need, I have one. My family arranged a marriage for me when I was a child. You don't need to trouble yourself."
Aunt Cao felt quite sorry.
Yao Qinglin was still thinking of an excuse to get out of this when he saw Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia.
The man's eyes lit up instantly, and after shouting at Aunt Cao, he dashed out.
"Oh, you two are finally back! I've been waiting for ages!"
Yu Junsheng glanced at him. "Oh, really? You seem to be having a good chat with Aunt Cao. You're even eating sunflower seeds. If you chat a little longer, you might even find a boyfriend."
"Hehe, the aunties in your compound are so enthusiastic." Yao Qinglin scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
Cheng Jiajia gave him a meaningful look, thinking to herself that she probably wouldn't think that way after witnessing the fighting power of the aunties in their compound.
Yu Junsheng was speechless for a while before asking, "Did you come here for something?" He remembered that he had never told Yao Qinglin his home address, so his sudden visit without any prior notice must mean something was wrong.
Yao Qinglin's smile faded slightly. "Yes, I need to talk to you about something. Let's go inside."
Yu Junsheng frowned. What important business could Yao Qinglin possibly have to discuss with him? The only thing he could think of was that it was related to Deng Guangming, the hot topic in the factory recently who had been arrested.
Could something have gone wrong?
"Deng Guangming demands to see you, otherwise he refuses to confess his crimes."
Upon hearing the news brought by Yao Qinglin, Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia exchanged bewildered glances.
No, is his relationship with Deng Guangming really that close? Or is he really that important to him?
Why won't he confess his crimes unless he sees them?
