Chapter 23



Jiang Xing used a towel to wipe the water stains off 놛's body, then took Zhiqi's clothes that were neatly placed beside him and put them on 놛.

After helping Zhiqi put on his clothes, Jiang Xi held his hand and said, "Let's go downstairs."

Huo Zhiqi was led away by Jiang Xi, and from time to time he would focus on Jiang Xi's hand, which was warm and cozy.

When going down, Jiang Xing slipped on the moss. Fortunately, Zhiqi pulled her up and prevented her from sliding down like a slide and getting lost.

Sister Li saw Jiang Xing coming down and greeted her, "Sister Jiang, I put the fish in your bucket."

Then he saw that Jiang Xi was covered in dirt. "What happened to you? Did you fall?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Xi ignored the dirt on his body and walked over to see two grass carps in the bucket. "Sister Li, why did you give me two? One is enough."

She felt embarrassed that she didn't catch the fish herself.

Sister Li waved her hands and said proudly, "It's okay. Two nets, four fish. Two for you and two for me. It's enough to eat."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Li." Jiang Guixiao said without hesitation.

After talking to Sister Li, he turned to look at Zhiqi, "Zhiqi, put the fish in the bucket."

Zhiqi nodded and put the fish in his arms into the bucket.

Sister Li saw it, came over to take a look and said, "Hey, how come this fish is different from the black grass carp? It's quite good-looking."

"This is a seven-star dragon fish, not a grass carp."

Jiang Xing explained.

Sister Li nodded, not quite understanding, "Sister Jiang, you really know a lot."

Just as Jiang Qi was about to say something, he heard someone yelling, "Who the hell hit my grandson?"

Her voice attracted many women who were washing clothes by the stream to look over.

Wang Xiaotian, who was being led by his grandmother, saw Jiang Xi and pointed at her and said, "Grandma, this woman hit me, wuwuwu, it hurts."

Jiang Xing raised his eyes and met a pair of sarcastic faces. It was obvious that the man was looking for trouble.

Then he saw the child who had just been hit twice by her with a bamboo stick. It turned out that he was calling for help to retaliate.

Old Lady Wang walked up to Jiang Liu with a fierce look in her eyes, as if she wanted to eat her up. She said angrily, "You are the one who beat up my grandson? What's your name?"

"Jiang Xi." Jiang Xi brushed her hair, "Your grandson is not referring to me? Are you blind?"

Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that her face was horrified. She began to look Jiang Liu up and down, "You woman, you admit that you beat my grandson."

Jiang Xing nodded, with a nonchalant expression on his face, "I hit you, that's right."

Old Lady Wang had never seen anyone so confident after a beating. She pointed at Jiang Liu angrily, "You, you..."

You hesitated for a long time as if you didn't know how to refute Jiang Xing, and said some dirty words that Jiang Xing couldn't understand.

The onlookers all frowned when they heard this. Jiang Qi didn't understand but knew it wasn't a good thing to say.

After the old lady finished speaking, Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "You are already so old, don't be so angry, be careful of excessive liver fire, liver qi stagnation, and shorten your life~"

The words were spoken in a drawn-out tone that was simply enough to make me angry to death.

"puff--"

Mrs. Li at the side didn't expect Jiang Xing to be so sharp-tongued. He made her so angry without even using a single curse word. She couldn't help laughing out loud.

There were some low laughter around.

Old lady Wang's son is a leader, how could he have suffered such an insult? If there were not some people around, she would definitely slap the little bitch in the face for daring to say such things.

Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that her face was all lumpy and ugly. "Since you admit that you hit my grandson, then apologize to my grandson!"

Jiang Xing narrowed his eyes, "This... aunt, why don't you ask your grandson why I beat him? I am a cultured person, I only beat your grandson because he made a mistake."

Sister Li spoke up at the right time, "Yes, Aunt Wang, I think this matter should be made clear."

Some people echoed.

"Just make it clear, don't hurt the relationship."

Old Mrs. Wang was determined to protect her grandson, regardless of what others said. Besides, her son was a high-ranking official and was not afraid of these things at all.

Then he said to Jiang Qing righteously, "Even if my grandson made a mistake, you shouldn't beat him. He is not your child, so it is not your turn to teach him a lesson!"

"What if it's a life-threatening mistake? Do you only teach your son a lesson after he commits a crime? If a son is not taught, it is the fault of the father. I think I should talk to the head of your family." Jiang Qi said in a deep voice.

Old Mrs. Wang stuttered, "What, what life-threatening matter? My child is only a few years old, how could he do such a thing?"

Jiang Xing put his hands on his chest and said, "Okay, then you ask, what did you just send?"

Old Mrs. Wang turned to look at her grandson, "Xiaotian, tell me, why did she hit you?"

Wang Xiaotian pointed at it and said, "Huo Zhiqi caught a fish up there, and Xiaodi and I wanted to bring the fish back to grandma, but Zhiqi wouldn't give it to me. Grandma, you clearly said that Zhiqi's things belonged to Xiaodi and me, but we wanted the fish, and he wouldn't give it to us, so I pushed his head into the water."

"We were just having fun. Zhiqi was fine, but this girl came up and spanked me with a bamboo stick. Grandma, my butt is still hurting. Can you help me spank her?"

Mrs. Wang thought the first part was normal because what Xiaotian said was true. But when she heard the rest, it was too late for her to cover her grandson's mouth.

Children of this age always say what they think and don't read other people's expressions. Moreover, the two brothers of the Wang family were not raised under a fence like Zhiqi. They were taught bad habits by old lady Wang and had no idea what they could and could not say.

Hearing this, Jiang Xi frowned.

She knew that the child was vicious. It turned out that he was just a child who got angry and did not know the severity of the situation. After all, he was taught this way.

With such a grandmother and grandson, Huo Zhiqi must have suffered a lot living under the fence in his home.

The child spoke these words without restraint, and those who were watching the excitement heard them and started to talk about it.

All those present were military dependents living in the family compound, and the neighbors knew each other.

Chatting with Old Lady Wang. They were relatively unfamiliar with the pretty girls, but Old Lady Wang was known to everyone.

He was known for being greedy for petty gains, and even took advantage of his son's position as a leader to show off his power.

But many people saw that she was an old lady and didn't bother with her.

They all knew Huo Zhiqi. It was well-known that Commander Wang adopted the orphan of one of his soldiers. However, Old Lady Wang had never admitted it, saying that she would send Zhiqi to be raised by a better family when she found one.

Commander Wang couldn't persuade his mother, so he told others that Huo Zhiqi was in foster care.

Although everyone was saddened by Huo Zhiqi's life experience, how many people actually extended a helping hand?

"But...but...you shouldn't hit my child. You should apologize to my child first." Old Mrs. Wang couldn't help stuttering and brought the topic back to the matter of Jiang Qi beating the child.

Jiang Xi sneered in his heart, but pretended to be innocent. "This kid is so disrespectful. He pushed me when he saw me. Look at me, there is so much mud on me, but he didn't even apologize to me, so I..."

Jiang Xing sniffed and said, "I only hit you twice. If you still think I should apologize, then I will apologize, but I hope I should apologize in front of your grandson's father."

When facing this kind of extreme old lady, you have to use magic to defeat magic.

Jiang Qing was not lying, the child pushed her as soon as he came.
