Li Yan and the others were stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Zhaodi also suddenly stood up.
"It sounds like Xin Xin crying!"
She strode out, and outside the educated youth compound, a group of children surrounded her. Tang Cui was in the middle, struggling and tearing at the children, who were grabbing her arms and legs and trying to stop her from leaving.
Two fists can't fight four hands; these teenagers are quite strong, and she won't be able to escape for a while.
A quick glance to the side revealed a tiny figure lying on the ground. Xiao Hua was wiping away tears and tugging hard at Jian Xin. Ping An was jumping around, wanting to help but not daring to touch her.
"Xin Xin!"
Gently pick up the child.
"Xinxin, don't be afraid, your big sister is here!"
Xiaohua was so anxious that tears and snot streamed down her face.
"Sister, Xin Xin's hand is bleeding."
The obvious scars on her little hands, covered in dirt and sand, were particularly glaring against her fair skin.
"Xin Xin, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
The little girl peeked open her eyes, and after confirming it was her familiar older sister, she pouted in grievance, tears streaming down her face.
"Sister, that bad person called me a bastard and pinched my arm."
Simple, his face ashen, rolled up his sleeves, revealing bright handprints on his arms, instantly intensifying the chill emanating from him.
After confirming that the child had no broken bones, Jian Dan gently put her down, stood up, stared at Tang Cui, whose body was gradually becoming disheveled, went straight over, grabbed her by the throat, and shoved her away.
Tang Cui's body, weighing over a hundred pounds, was handled by her like a chick or duckling, requiring no effort at all.
Without blinking or stopping, he followed closely, picked her up, and slammed her against the wall of the educated youth compound. After a moment's pause, she landed on the ground with a "thud."
I was so dizzy and disoriented.
It wasn't until Jian Dan pulled him up and pressed him against the wall again that his eyes finally focused, and his hands began to pry hard, trying to remove Jian Dan's iron-like hands from his neck.
His throat was like a leaky bellows, making a wheezing sound.
The group of children were terrified. Li Yan and a few others, along with Chen Jianguo and the others who had heard the noise, came out and quickly led the children aside, looking at Jian Dan with concern.
Lin Zhaodi pulled Jian Xin into her arms, gently patting the dust off her body. Looking at the blurry wound on her hand, she really wanted to slap Tang Cui twice.
However, to be honest, they were indeed afraid that if Jian Dan's hand trembled, something bad might really happen.
Tang Cui was like a fish out of water, gasping for air with her mouth agape. Jian Dan in front of her was like a demon, filling her with fear.
Watching her eyes shift from smugness, shock, and horror to her current fear, Jian Dan slightly loosened her grip.
"Tang Cui, who gave you the audacity to touch my sister?"
What, you don't think that just because you have a powerful backer, no one will dare to touch you?
Tang Cui, her eyes bloodshot, managed to squeeze out a sentence.
You wouldn't dare kill me!
I just scoffed. Do I need to notify you before I kill you?
"Tang Zhiqing, what nonsense are you spouting? This is a new society now. Murder is a crime."
Do you think I'm like you, lacking any legal awareness?
I'm a civilized person; I would never do anything that would tarnish the reputation of the educated youth!
Seeing the resentment in Tang Cui's eyes, Jian Dan finally felt a little better. She took out a small notebook from her pocket and waved it in front of her.
"See this? A martyr's child certificate. Tang Cui, how many lives do you have? How dare you try to harm the child of a martyr?"
"Did you see the commendation for my act of bravery issued by the Public Security Bureau? I wasn't even afraid of an armed thug. Tang Cui, who do you think is more capable, you or him?"
It's simple to believe that Tang Cui's decision to pull Su Hong down the mountain was likely impulsive or a conditioned reflex. This time, she might simply be taking her anger out on the child because she was in a bad mood.
She knew all the children in the village and dared not touch them, but this was a complete stranger, so she could easily bully her.
But so what?
What's done is done. If you kill someone, do you think the police will understand if you're in a bad mood?
With such fighting power, you think you can cause trouble?
I just heard that she doesn't intend to get involved. As long as you don't mess with her, she doesn't have the time to meddle in other people's business.
However, since some people have been bullying her, if she doesn't react, some people will really think she's easy to bully. Do they think wild boars are so easy to kill?
Tang Cui belatedly realized that Jian Zhiqing was the kind of person who could kill even wild boars without hesitation. What was she thinking? Did she actually think that child was easy to bully? She knew all the children in the village and had all heard that Jian Zhiqing had brought back a younger sister. How could she not have noticed such an obvious situation?
Regret, remorse, jealousy, and remorse were all there, but thinking about them was useless at this moment. Right now, Jian Dan was a walking killing machine, and if she wasn't satisfied, he definitely wouldn't let her go.
It was cold outside, and there weren't many people around, but even this small amount of liveliness drew everyone together, especially since these children were all their own.
As soon as the fight broke out, some of the clever children went back to get help. Liu Weimin frowned and hurried along.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? You're always making a fuss, even when you're not working."
However, I was taken aback by the scene as soon as I entered.
"Little Jian, what's wrong?"
He simply let go of her, allowing Tang Cui to collapse to the ground.
"Village chief, why don't you ask everyone? I believe everyone has discerning eyes and won't protect a bad person or wrong an innocent one."
These words made Liu Weimin's headache even worse.
Looking around, the adults didn't say anything, but a group of children gathered around first.
"I know I know,"
I'll talk, I'll talk,"
"Just now......"
With everyone talking at once and piecing things together, Liu Weimin roughly pieced together the story. He glanced back at Jian Xin, who was holding her little hands, looking utterly wronged, and was speechless.
"Tang Zhiqing, what's wrong? What did this child do to offend you that made you so ruthless?"
Do you know how old you are? Do you know how old this child is? Huh?
How could you hurt such a young child?
"If you think Liujiatun is too small and can't accommodate you, fine, I'll send you back to the educated youth office right now and let them find you a place where you can be accommodated and where you can achieve great things."
"Village chief, it's me,"
Even if she were stupid, Tang Cui could tell that this wasn't a compliment.
It's easy to imagine that if someone is sent back to the educated youth office in this village for backstabbing or bullying children, the place they can be reassigned to won't be a good one. If this reputation gets out, she really won't be able to live anymore.
At times like this, nothing you say will help. Whether you hate or resent, you have to swallow your bitterness yourself.
