Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Pepper and the Skyrocket
Liu Zhiqiang opened his mouth. Comrade Jiang was really amazing. This wasn't just a little pepper, this was simply a rocket. He responded dryly, "Hey, hello, hello."
Qi Yu'an responded naturally: "Comrade Jiang, hello, you are back from the county town. How is Niu'er?"
Jiang Xi nodded: "Niuniu is fine now. Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get to the hospital so quickly."
Zhao Xianglan had already stood up. She saw Jiang Xi and Qi Yu'an talking and said sarcastically, "Comrade Qi, this mother and daughter are incredible. They are the best at seducing men. I know you are a good person, but don't help everyone. Be careful not to fall into their trap and lose your integrity."
Qi Yu'an had always been kind to others, but after hearing what Zhao Xianglan said, his expression turned cold. "Comrade Zhao Xianglan, please speak kindly. Don't make such subjective assumptions and damage other people's reputations."
Zhao Xianglan persisted, "Comrade Qi, you have little experience, so you are easily deceived. I am trying to persuade you with good intentions, but why don't you appreciate it?"
Qi Yu'an still had a cold expression on his face: "Comrade Zhao Xianglan, please don't make such subjective assumptions about others. Seeing is believing, hearing is not. You are spreading rumors now."
Zhao Xianglan didn't understand what subjective conjecture meant, but she understood Qi Yu'an's disapproval of her. Zhao Xianglan's two small eyes rolled and she shouted directly: "This old man seduces men, and the young one seduces men too. Qi Yu'an, are you attracted to Jiang Xi, so you speak for her? I said you suddenly showed up today, it turned out to be for your lover."
Qi Yu'an is usually a good person, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper. However, since he doesn't often quarrel with others, he didn't know how to respond when he heard such vulgar words.
Jiang Xi walked up to Zhao Xianglan, who widened her eyes and looked like a scoundrel: "What are you doing! I was right, you little whore!"
Jiang Xi immediately slapped Zhao Xianglan in the face again. Zhao Xianglan was stunned: "You hit me just now, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. You dare to hit me again now? I will beat you to death, I will beat you to death!"
Jiang Xi looked thin, but she was very strong from years of hard work. She pushed Zhao Xianglan to the ground and said, "I've already warned you to be careful with your mouth. If you curse me again, I'll slap you. If you curse me ten times, I'll tear your mouth apart. If you don't believe me, just try it."
Jiang Xi's aura was fully on display, and her eyes were very cold. This made Zhao Xianglan realize that Jiang Xi was not joking. Her cheeks were burning with pain, but she still said fiercely, "How dare you! You damned little bastard!"
Jiang Xi slapped her, and Zhao Xianglan cried out, cursing, "Ah, someone's been beaten to death, someone's been beaten to death, come and see, and give me some justice, this little whore is trying to kill someone."
Jiang Xi didn't waste any words and slapped her again. Zhao Xianglan covered her face and didn't dare to curse anymore. She already knew very well that what Jiang Xi said just now was true.
Qi Yu'an stood up and said, "Zhao Xianglan, you were the one who maliciously provoked me today, slandering others and destroying their reputation. Please be careful with your words in the future, or I will report you to the brigade."
Jiang Xi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Qi Yu'an to be so helpful.
Zhao Xianglan was given a double warning and knew that she would not get any good results today, so she had to shut up in disappointment.
On the way back, Qi Yu'an and Jiang Xi were going the same way, so they went back together.
Jiang Xi smiled at Qi Yu'an and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Qi, for causing you to be scolded for no reason."
Qi Yu'an's bright and clear eyes revealed a faint smile: "It doesn't matter. Besides, didn't Comrade Jiang just avenge me?"
Jiang Xi was surprised: "The word 'revenge' doesn't sound like something Comrade Qi would say."
Qi Yu'an smiled innocently and spread his hands: "Comrade Jiang, what kind of image do you have of me? Although I am very popular, sunny and cheerful, lively, helpful, and energetic, I am not a clay figure. I can get angry, and there are people I dislike."
Jiang Xi...Comrade Qi is quite good at boasting.
Qi Yu'an said a bunch of words, seemed a little embarrassed, and changed the subject: "Why did you buy so many things? What are you going to do?"
Jiang Xi said: "We are going to do some small business."
Qi Yu'an didn't expect Jiang Xi to act so quickly. The things that were decided last night were already bought today. However, Jiang Xi is eloquent and she should be able to do well in business.
When they reached the fork in the road, Wu Yaqin came to her senses and stepped forward to express her gratitude. She was very scared by Jiang Xi's actions just now, but she knew that Jiang Xi did it for her, so she did not stop him. When she saw Zhao Lanxiang being beaten, she was panicked at first, but then she felt a little happy.
Niu'er's eyes were shining throughout the whole process. Sister Jiang Xi was really amazing. She beat the bad guys so hard that they dared not curse. She wanted to learn from Sister Jiang Xi in the future.
Wu Yaqin recovered and thanked Qi Yu'an: "Comrade Qi, thank you for your help yesterday. I will invite you to my house for dinner when I have the chance."
Wu Youli also quickly said, "Thank you, Comrade Qi. It's thanks to you for lending us the bicycle. Otherwise, Niu'er's illness would have been delayed."
Qi Yu'an said with a smile: "You're welcome, Comrade Jiang has already thanked me, and she also said she would treat me to a meal."
Jiang Xi... Qi Yu'an had a lively smile on her face, which was dizzying, but she did say that.
Wu Yaqin said, "Comrade Qi, let's go back and pack up today. We'll invite you to our house for dinner tomorrow. Do you have time?"
Qi Yu'an agreed quickly: "I have time, all day tomorrow."
Wu Yaqin: "That's great. Comrade Qi, please come to my house for dinner tomorrow." Wu Yaqin is not a person who likes to owe favors to others. Being able to repay the favor quickly, her psychological burden suddenly became much lighter.
Qi Yu'an said cheerfully: "Okay, then I will look forward to Auntie's cooking skills from today."
This sentence made Wu Yaqin smile from ear to ear.
Jiang Xi...
Liu Zhiqiang has become accustomed to Qi Yu'an's occasional boasting about himself and others. This guy has a clever mouth and a handsome face. If he wants to make others happy, he will succeed. But why does Qi Yu'an want to make Wu Yaqin happy?
Qi Yu'an really respects the elderly and loves the young. He is incomparable.
The group parted ways, and Liu Zhiqiang and Qi Yu'an returned to the Youth League. Liu Zhiqiang patted his chest and said, "Oh my god, Comrade Jiang Xi is really amazing! Who dares to mess with her from now on? I think male comrades won't dare to get close to her. Those big ears and those PAAPs are too scary."
Qi Yu'an was surprised: "Is it scary? I think it's okay. She works so hard to protect her family. It makes me feel safe."
Liu Zhiqiang… sense of security? What? Qi Yu'an must be crazy today. He can see a sense of security when seeing others slapping their ears, so why can't he see it?
"Hey, Qi Yu'an, don't run so fast just because you have long legs. Wait for me."
Qi Yu'an's voice came from a distance: "No need to wait, I still need to find a gift when I get home."
Liu Zhiqiang...it's not a festival, why should I give you a gift?
Jiang Xi and Wu Yaqin returned home exhausted. After Wu Youli unloaded his things, he also took his daughter home.
Chen Xiu Lian was extremely anxious at home and specifically told them to go home as soon as they were discharged from the hospital.
"Sister, I'm going back first."
Wu Yaqin wanted to keep them for dinner, but Wu Youli had already left with the girl.
Wu Yaqin could only go back to the house and pour a glass of water for Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi took it and poured another glass for Wu Yaqin.
"Mom, drink some water too." Wu Yaqin sat down and took a sip of water before hearing Jiang Xi ask, "What's going on with Zhao Xianglan? Why is she suddenly causing trouble for us? Has she bullied you before?"
Wu Yaqin didn't expect Jiang Xi to be so perceptive, and Jiang Xi had already taught Zhao Xianglan a lesson just now, so why was he asking again now?
Wu Yaqin has always believed in the principle of "less trouble is worse than more trouble" and that some things can be tolerated. When asked by Jiang Xi, she said vaguely, "It's nothing, it's all in the past. You beat her hard today, and I don't think she will dare to do it again."
Jiang Xi insisted: "Mom, were you often bullied in the past?"
Wu Yaqin stopped drinking water. Is she often bullied?
It seems so. Without a man to support her at home, she made slow progress in farming. Sometimes people would come to help her out of pity for her, but more often they would laugh at her.
Those people would deliberately throw the stones they turned up into the land she was planting. From time to time, a piece of her vegetable would be missing, and the big pumpkin that had just grown would disappear before she could pick it.
Wu Yaqin washed clothes for others and agreed to charge ten cents for a basket of clothes. Some families would try their best to stuff clothes into the basket. Sometimes Wu Yaqin had to wash clothes for half a day to earn ten cents, and she would also have to endure the cold stares from those people.
If this is considered bullying, then she has indeed suffered a lot of bullying.
Wu Yaqin felt sad when she recalled these things in her heart, but on the surface she suppressed her sadness and said to Jiang Xi: "It's all in the past. Everything will pass if you endure it. We are alone and weak, and we can't get a good result by fighting with those people. Let's just live our own lives well. It doesn't matter if others say a few words."
Jiang Xi put the cup on the table and said, "Mom, sometimes you can't just endure it. The more you endure, the more people will push you. Just like Zhao Xianglan today, you endured it, but she still scolded you. What happened before? Please tell me."
Jiang Xi's expression was serious. She had often heard Wu Yaqin say this in her previous life. At that time, she also felt that Wu Yaqin's idea was problematic, but she never refuted it.
After rebirth, Jiang Xi understood that he had to earn his own face. If he didn't want to be bullied, he had to fight back fiercely when others bullied him. If he just tolerated it, he would only put himself in a more disadvantageous position and encourage the arrogance of those people.
Wu Yaqin was repeatedly questioned by Jiang Xi. She knew that if she didn't tell him what happened, Jiang Xi would definitely not give up, so she had no choice but to tell him those things.
