The next day.
Outside the town government building.
Gao Xiufang waited anxiously for Liang Qiushen to appear.
Liang Qiushen's family bought him a bicycle, which made it much more convenient for him to go out and run errands.
Upon seeing Gao Xiufang from a short distance away, Liang Qiushen immediately wanted to turn around and leave.
Gao Xiufang saw him first: "Brother Qiushen!"
Gao Xiufang waved and shouted, then ran up quickly. Liang Qiushen was too late to leave.
He said sternly, "Gao Xiufang, I've already made myself clear to you. Don't come here and interfere with my work anymore. Because of you, not only has my work been affected, but people have also misunderstood our relationship. You may not care about your reputation, but I do. Don't come here again. Go back."
Gao Xiufang grabbed the back of his bicycle and pleaded, "Brother Qiushen, just this once. My dad and your dad were classmates before, you have to give me this face. As long as you come to my house for a meal, I promise I won't bother you at work again."
Liang Qiushen's face darkened again. "Gao Xiufang, be mindful of your behavior. How can I possibly eat at your house? What will we say if the neighbors see us like this?"
Gao Xiufang was already in a bad mood, and seeing Liang Qiushen making excuses, her anger flared up again. "Are you still thinking about Sheng Qian? She got married. And to a cripple who's barely alive. Do you want to..."
"Gao Xiufang!"
When Liang Qiushen noticed that a colleague had come over, he became furious and shouted to stop Gao Xiufang from talking nonsense.
"Xiao Liang, is this woman someone you're dating?" The man who walked up behind them with a smile glanced back and forth between the two of them and said in a teasing tone.
Liang Qiushen said awkwardly, "Uncle Chen, you've misunderstood. This is my dad's classmate's daughter. Her dad invited me to his house for dinner sometime, but I've been declining."
“Go ahead, don’t worry about these things, there are no such requirements in town,” the man surnamed Chen said with a smile.
Liang Qiushen gave another awkward laugh.
Gao Xiufang seized the opportunity, "Brother Qiushen, you agree to have lunch at home? Then it's settled. I'll have my family prepare lunch, you must come!"
With Uncle Chen as our witness, we're not afraid that Liang Qiushen won't refuse to go.
After Gao Xiufang finished speaking, she smiled and greeted Uncle Chen, then said she wouldn't disturb Liang Qiushen's work and ran off.
Liang Qiushen frowned, feeling quite displeased.
His family has already told him about girls in the city, and how could a girl like Gao Xiufang be a good match for a high school student like him?
At this time, high school students, though not as popular as college students, are still highly sought after.
He didn't see anything wrong with looking for girls from the city.
Once the matter was settled, Liang Qiushen planned to go over at noon and explain things to the Gao family.
Sheng Qian went out to stretch her muscles and bones, and happened to run into Gao Xiufang, who was sneaking around nearby.
They touched him from behind, and he exclaimed, "Murder!"
"ah!"
Suddenly someone shouted from behind, scaring Gao Xiufang so much that her soul almost left her body.
He fell to the ground with a thud, unable to breathe.
Upon recognizing the person standing before her, Gao Xiufang abruptly stood up, angrily pointing at Sheng Qian, "You shameless woman, I'll scratch you to death for seducing Brother Qiu Shen!"
Startled and frightened, Gao Xiufang's eyes turned red with anger.
He got up and pounced on Sheng Qian.
"Bang!"
Sheng Qian didn't move, but raised her foot and kicked Gao Xiufang solidly in the stomach.
Ouch!
Gao Xiufang flew out like a frail patient.
It shuffled along the ground for a distance before stopping.
Sheng Qian narrowed her dark eyes dangerously: "The last person to call me a slut is already turned to dust. Do you want to try?"
Gao Xiufang's face contorted in pain: "You, you... ah!"
A scream rang out as Gao Xiufang's finger was twisted and dislocated.
Does it hurt?
"Ouch...my hand is broken, waaaaaah..."
Gao Xiufang cried out, tears streaming down her face.
"Who's the bastard?"
“I am me,” Gao Xiufang dared not say anything more.
Sheng Qian slowly put her finger back in, which made Gao Xiufang scream in pain with a pale face.
Sheng Qian sneered, "Little girl, you don't learn anything good, only these bad habits of throwing tantrums and cursing. You should be taught a lesson. Also, don't think no one saw you hit someone yesterday."
Gao Xiufang's eyes widened suddenly, and her body trembled violently.
Sheng Qian admired her trembling appearance and smiled, "That old man is dying. Hurry up and send the money over. If you're too late, the old man might come after you in the middle of the night."
"How could someone who's not dead possibly take my life..."
"Haven't you heard the rumors about the soul leaving the body?"
"What do you mean by 'half-soul separated'? Don't try to fool me."
"It means that the person is still alive, still breathing, but their soul leaves the body and finds the person who harmed them before they die, dragging that person down to hell."
"Ah!" Gao Xiufang clutched her head. "That's not true at all, you're lying."
"Yes, I lied. Well, you can wait for the old man to come and settle the score with you tonight."
Sheng Qian hummed a song as she walked away.
Gao Xiufang looked around absentmindedly, feeling as if a ghost was really coming to claim her life, even though it was broad daylight and a cold wind was blowing.
"Ah," Gao Xiufang cried out softly, hugging herself, then scrambled to her feet and ran away, still yelling as she ran.
I was even cursed at when I passed by someone's house.
Sheng Qian left right on time and returned right on time.
Hou Guifang saw Sheng Qian's muddy feet as she entered and asked curiously, "Xiao Qian, where did you go? Why are your feet covered in mud?"
