When the village chief left, Cheng Ying and Song Anping realized it was getting late, and they needed to rush to work, so they said to Jiang Xue, "Jiang Xue, we’re heading to work now. Are you coming with us, or?"
"I’ll go with you." Jiang Xue replied without hesitation. She didn’t want to stay and face the looks from the Cheng Family mother and daughter.
Today, Cheng Li lost face in front of the village chief and overturned the chief’s impression of her. She would definitely take out her anger on herself.
She didn’t want to become the scapegoat for the two of them. However, she was still a bit unwilling to let Cheng Li off without a lesson.
But there was nothing she could do about it; with the village chief present, she couldn’t possibly teach Cheng Li a lesson in front of him. Luckily, there’s always another day. This time, Cheng Li escaped without a lesson, but next time, she won’t be so lucky.
Judging by what she knew of Cheng Li, having suffered several major setbacks, she’d definitely try to find a way to regain her ground, likely making a move soon.
By then, she just needed to adapt to the situation, and she wouldn’t lack the opportunity to teach Cheng Li a lesson.
However, as Jiang Xue intended to leave, Cheng Li and Mrs. Cheng wouldn’t let her. The two quickly blocked her way and said, "Jiang Xue, it’s not that easy to leave. We still have unfinished business."
"Aunt, Xiao Li, what are you doing?" Cheng Ying looked at Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Li, her expression changing. After all, they brought Jiang Xue here, and if something happened, they wouldn’t be able to account for it to the Mu Family.
"Yingzi, Anping, this has nothing to do with you. You better hurry to work, or you’ll be late and not only get scolded by your boss but also have your wages docked."
"Aunt, we brought Jiang Xue here; how could we possibly leave her unattended?" Cheng Ying was infuriated by the actions of Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Li.
However, Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Li didn’t care if she was angry and said directly, "If you don’t leave now, don’t blame us if you’re late."
Jiang Xue felt a little bad seeing Cheng Ying arguing with Cheng Li and her mother for her sake, so she said, "Sister Ying, it’s okay, you guys go to work."
"Jiang Xue, how can we leave you? What if they bully you?"
Cheng Ying didn’t want to be late, but she couldn’t just leave Jiang Xue either.
Seeing her warmed Jiang Xue’s heart slightly, and she smiled and said, "Sister Ying, don’t worry about me. They wouldn’t dare do anything to me. Don’t forget, I’m a military spouse now. They wouldn’t dare bully me."
"Really?" Hearing Jiang Xue say this, Cheng Ying hesitated.
"Sister Ying, go quickly. If you don’t go now, you’ll be late." Jiang Xue urged Cheng Ying and the others to leave, not wanting them to see her fight. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⦿fire.net
Initially, she intended to let the Cheng Family mother and daughter off, but they brought it on themselves, and she wouldn’t be blamed for what happened. Honestly, if Cheng Ying were there, she wouldn’t have been able to act openly.
"Alright, we’re going. Be careful yourself." Cheng Ying eventually left, realizing that work took priority.
Moreover, Jiang Xue said she’d be fine, and she trusted Jiang Xue.
Cheng Ying and Song Anping left, leaving Jiang Xue and the Cheng Family mother and daughter in the courtyard. Cheng Li, seeing Jiang Xue alone, grinned maliciously and said triumphantly, "Jiang Xue, let’s see who can help you now?"
"Mom, go lock the front gate. We’re going to teach her a good lesson today."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cheng immediately ran to lock the gate.
Jiang Xue watched and laughed coldly.
Did they think they could get revenge just by closing the door? Dream on!
