"If you’re sick, you need to get that treated early!" She dropped a sentence and tried to leave, but Zhang Xiaomei suddenly pounced on her, immediately clutching her legs tightly.
"Don’t even think about running! I’m telling you, this isn’t over today! Big brother, Second brother! Come quick!" Zhang Xiaomei screamed again at the top of her lungs.
Just as Chiang Xiao was about to kick her away, a series of footsteps sounded through the alley, and two youths ran out one after the other. One was around twenty-five or twenty-six and the other around twenty.
One had a buzz cut, was wearing a white cotton tank top and shorts, while the other had what Chiang Xiao considered very retro semi-long hair, dressed in a floral shirt and a pair of white flared trousers.
"Xiaomei, what happened?"
"Xiaomei, who hit you?"
The two men asked loudly as they ran over and only when their words faded did they clearly see the scene in front of them, causing both to freeze.
What was this situation?
Zhang Xiaomei cried and said loudly, "Big brother, Second brother, she pushed me over, and my hands are all scraped, and my pants are ripped!"
Chiang Xiao cursed inwardly.
She didn’t know whether her luck was good or bad, she had just successfully sold eight hundred pounds of meat, which should mean her luck wasn’t too bad, right? But to turn around and encounter such a mess, what bad luck!
And, could this also be attributed to Tyrant Meng’s mischief?
She was so innocent, always bearing the consequences of Tyrant Meng’s rotten luck in love!
Chiang Xiao fiercely thought to herself that she needed to study that booklet well, to see if there’s a Talisman Diagram in there that could snuff out all the rotten luck in love. If there was, she would definitely paint ten or eight of them for Xinian! It would be best to paint them directly on his chest!
Zhang Dahai and Zhang Ershan looked at each other, somewhat blankly.
At this moment, a woman in her twenties, holding a child, came out. Just as Chiang Xiao was lamenting that the situation was going to get even more out of hand, the woman yelled at Zhang Dahai. "Zhang Dahai! How many times have I told you? In our family, Xiao Jun is the most important! You just threw him on the bed and ran out, what if he fell off the bed?"
Zhang Dahai immediately backed down, "But you were still at home, right?"
The woman glared at him and said, "What, as if I’ve got nothing else to do? Didn’t you know I was picking beans to cook?"
"But that was because I heard Xiaomei shouting," he reasoned.
The woman glanced at Zhang Xiaomei and scoffed, "She shouts and you have to come running? What’s the worst that could happen if you’re a second slower, she’ll lose a piece of flesh, or be bullied to death?"
"Sister-in-law! What kind of talk is that?" Zhang Xiaomei immediately retorted, "I really was bullied! Look, look, my hands and feet are hurt!"
As she spoke, she still clung stubbornly to Chiang Xiao’s legs, refusing to let go.
Sister-in-law Zhang glanced at Chiang Xiao and suddenly walked towards Zhang Dahai, thrust the child into his arms, and then headed their way.
Chiang Xiao’s hands clenched into fists.
This was perfect; with so many people around, she could perhaps try out the Boxing Technique Meng Xinian had taught her!
But to her surprise, Sister-in-law Zhang grabbed Zhang Xiaomei’s wrist and yanked her away forcefully.
"Let go! Let go! Having extorted a man and still not satisfied, now you want to extort this young lady as well? Zhang Xiaomei, I’ve really had enough of you! You just create trouble here and there! Sooner or later you’re going to bring disaster to our family!"
