Chapter 196: Chapter 196 Little Trouble-Maker_1
“Who are you talking about?” Huo Jinlan, being irritated uncontrollably, had been trying to stay calm, yet she was provoked by an inconspicuous and immature girl, and ended up attempting to slap Zhuanzhuan.
Zhuanzhuan, holding a basin of clothes, was already moving slowly. Seeing Huo Jinlan rushing towards her, she attempted to move aside but was unexpectedly tripped and fell directly onto the ground.
The ground at the entrance was not as smooth as the cement interior of the courtyard. In order to prevent difficulty walking during rainy days, a thick layer of coarse sand was spread out. Jiang Zhuanzhuan was very confused as she fell down.
She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts in the summer. Half of her body was abraded by the coarse sand, with some tiny sand particles sticking to the scraped areas, presenting a shocking sight.
Jiang Zhuanzhuan bit her lip, tears spinning in her eyes, but not a drop fell. She carefully placed the washbasin aside, got up from the ground, didn’t look at Huo Jinlan, and her dark eyes stared intently at Jing Tong.
“It was you who tripped me,” she said, emphasizing each word.
“Unreasonable! You stumbled of your own volition and yet you are blaming others.” Jing Tong looked down at her, a sarcastic smile on her well-trimmed beautiful face.
There was an outright sarcastic bitterness on her face behind He Rongxi’s back.
“So you’re Jiang Nanfei’s sister?” Jing Tong sneered, “You look like a pauper.”
Zhuanzhuan bit her lip, her eyes chillingly cold.
“A wolf! A wolf is coming! A she-wolf!”
“No! It’s a Mother Night Witch, a Mother Night Witch.”
A group of mischievous kids saw Jiang Zhuanzhuan being tripped and started making a fuss. Normally, these kids were the type who would cause trouble if not disciplined for three days. Running with their bare feet, nose running, it was their most mischievous time. With their shouting, the entire village was in an uproar.
He Rongxi and Jing Tong were so angered their faces turned green, their attempts to stop them futile. They shouted for everyone to shut up, but not one listened; the more they tried to stop it, the more frenzied the kids became.
Especially the shouts of “she-wolf” and “Mother Night Witch”, made Jing Tong’s face grim, and He Rongxi was even more frustrated and angry. He pointed at Jing Tong and blamed her: “Look at what you’ve done, all the trouble you’ve stirred up. Didn’t I tell you? Just say hello to Linong and leave, instead, you’ve created trouble as soon as you arrived.”
“I didn’t …” Jing Tong pleaded in grievance.
“You think I’m blind?” He Rongxi, thinking back to the incident at the State Guest Restaurant, was filled with deeper displeasure. He realized that ever since Jing Tong became Madam He, she became increasingly ostentatious.
“Are you blaming me?” Jing Tong’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at He Rongxi, “Ask yourself, what did I do wrong? Clearly, she was the one who fell down, yet she is pinning the blame on me. As the lady of the He Family, can’t I even raise my voice when I am wronged?”
He Rongxi was silent. From his standpoint, it did indeed seem that the young girl fell on her own.
If that is the case, she is indeed detestable.
Jiang Zhuanzhuan, watching Jing Tong twist the facts, was so angry she gritted her teeth. But she was aware that anyone who associated with Huo Jinlan could not be any good; no matter what she said, it would be futile.
Such people only respond to tough actions.
Thinking Jiang Zhuanzhuan was easy to bully was a grave mistake.
While no one noticed, Zhuanzhuan subtly moved away. She knew all the kids in the village. Some were three or four years old, some were five or six, and quite a number were eight or nine.
In those days, every household had three or four children. She found a little troublemaker and handed him a bunch of coins from her pocket, all fives, dimes, and nickels.
All stuffed into the little troublemaker’s pocket.
This money was the pocket money that Jiang Dechun had given her due to his booming business recently.
“What do you want me to do, Sister Zhuanzhuan?” The little troublemaker was quick to understand.
Zhuanzhuan blink her eyes, then whispered: “Gather your little friends and scratch those two women’s faces. If you succeed, I will treat you all to ice pops.”
PS: Our Brother Bei Jiang will make his appearance tomorrow!
