Chapter 123: Chapter One Two Three Whose Letter
“Otherwise, just wait and see your store close,” Zhang Xiaoling openly threatened in the end.
No sooner had her voice died away than Xia Chuyi had no reaction, it was Zhao Xiaogui who couldn’t contain his dissatisfaction first, “What’s wrong with you, woman! Are you sick or something?”
“Last time at our house, you just had to inexplicably set your sights on Huo Commander!”
“What’s the matter, upset because he didn’t take a fancy to you?”
The youth’s aggressive tone was quite hurtful.
“Hmph, puh, just look at your face smeared with powder like a ghost and it still can’t cover up how ugly you are. Compared to my sister, you’re miles and miles away!”
“If Huo Commander isn’t blind, he’d definitely fancy my sister over you!”
“You old lady, better look at yourself in the mirror more often to see what you look like before you even think about showing your face in public!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, just looking at your noble face makes people want to throw up, ghosts to sigh, and even beasts would hurry away…”
Xia Chuyi tugged at his arm.
She warned him with her eyes, that’s about enough.
“You! You!” Zhang Xiaoling’s face turned blue with rage, “You two just wait!”
After throwing a fierce glare and issuing her threat, Zhang Xiaoling turned and ran off.
Zhang Xiaoling’s girlfriend paused, then hurried after her.
“Humph! Spit! Bullying my sister! Don’t they see who’s here?” Once the two had left, Zhao Xiaogui, acting like a little adult with his sleeves rolled up, said, “Don’t worry, sis, my dad sent me here to protect you!”
“With me around, I’d like to see if that old woman dares to bother you again.”
Xia Chuyi shook her head, “Do you know who she is?”
“Just a shameless woman trying to hook up with an army officer!”
Thwap! He was hit on the head again.
“Her dad is the manager of the coal factory, and her mom is the deputy director of the labor union.”
Zhao Xiaogui didn’t seem to care, “So what? Outside of the coal factory, can she really cover the sky with one hand?”
Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, “What’s most important is that her uncle is the chief of Ling County Public Security Bureau.”
This was precisely why Lin Aiyun dared to be so arrogant in accepting bribes, and why Zhang Zhicheng could have his way in the coal factory.
As the saying goes, officials protect each other. If Zhang Xiaoling really wanted to do something, Xia Chuyi had to be on guard.
“Then, sis, did I cause you trouble?” In these times, being associated with the Police Station meant something very serious.
“No worries,” Xia Chuyi smiled, comforting him, “We are law-abiding good citizens, there’s no need to be afraid.”
“That’s true!” Zhao Xiaogui brightened after hearing her words, “I only said a few words to her, what could she do, have me arrested?”
Xia Chuyi inwardly thought: It was actually quite possible.
But Zhang Xiaoling’s anger was more directed at her, so the likelihood of her directly targeting Zhao Xiaogui was not too high.
As for her, if troops come, she’ll block them; if water comes, she’ll cover it with soil.
Suddenly, at the door, the sound of a bicycle bell rang.
“Comrade Chuyi, your mail!” It was the county postman.
The day before yesterday, as soon as Xia Chuyi arrived, she had first gone to the post office, bribed the postman with a bottle of liquor, and asked if he could deliver letters to her shop.
“Xiao Gui, you don’t have to feel burdened about this, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” she reassured Zhao Xiaogui with her final words before going to fetch the letter,
The letter was naturally from Huo Shiqian.
The content of the letter: “I have a mission, must travel to Ling County, may have a chance to see you.”
It seemed that he had written this before he set off for Ling County.
Since the letter was written before his departure, then meeting her after that must be happening soon, right?
Thinking of that, she couldn’t help but curl the corner of her mouth.
Hmm, she was feeling a bit of anticipation.
“Sis, who is the letter from? Why are you smiling so oddly?” Zhao Xiaogui’s gaze was as piercing as an X-ray, fixed on his own sister.
