Chapter 10

“You, you, you!” Ji Jian Guo had long forgotten this matter, and now that it was suddenly brought up, he was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire. He stood up abruptly: “You shameless little beast! A married daughter dares to covet our old Ji family’s house, I tell you this house is mine! Don’t even think about it!”

Ji Wanqing narrowed her eyes, her hand itching badly, she was about to slap him.

But she noticed that Ji Jian Guo’s eyes didn’t show much fear, instead, they held a hint of eagerness.

A thought crossed her mind.

I told you so.

He’s jumping up and down here today to get attention.

Ji Wanqing’s hand didn’t change direction, she just used her space to apply a thin layer of spiritual spring water to her palm, then she slapped him even harder.

“Slap!” Ji Jian Guo was knocked to the ground!

He was stunned, his face burning with pain, but he saw the little beast squatting down slowly, looking at his face and sighing: “I was wondering why you didn’t have any scars on your body after being whipped dozens of times, your face is really thick, my hand hurts from hitting you, but there’s not even a red mark on your face.”

Su Xiu hugged Ji Xinbao and huddled in the corner, trembling. The moment Ji Wanqing looked up at her, she stammered, “Fan, fan is already washed, I, Xinbao, you quickly take it to your sister’s room.”

Ji Xinbao ran away trembling, Ji Jian Guo recovered from his shock, immediately lay on the ground and rolled around, shouting loudly, “She’s hitting someone! She’s hitting someone! Help! The unfilial daughter is hitting her father!”

Ji Wanqing snorted and grabbed Ji Xinbao, picked up the feather duster next to the sofa, and whipped it on his butt.

“Ow——!!”

Ji Xinbao screamed in pain from the whipping, Su Xiu was terrified and ran to grab the child, but Ji Wanqing hit her several times.

Hearing his precious son crying sadly, Ji Jian Guo couldn’t care less about rolling on the ground, he immediately came over to join the battle to snatch his son back, while shouting for Xiaorou to go to the hallway to see if the street committee people had arrived.

“They’re fighting! They’re fighting! The Ji family is fighting again!” Little Tiger next door, who loved watching the drama, immediately attracted the neighbors with his loud voice.

It was dinner time, many people gathered around the window of 3-2 with their bowls, discussing excitedly.

“Deputy Director Ji and Nurse Su are really bold, the police came yesterday, and they dare to cause trouble today!”

“That’s right, our leader heard that they won’t be getting the Advanced Worker and March 8th Red Banner Woman awards this year.”

“I remember Nurse Su was on the shortlist for March 8th Red Banner Woman two years ago!”

“Yes, in our factory, normally, they wouldn’t let someone be on the shortlist for three consecutive years without being selected.”

“If it wasn’t for these two days’ events, maybe she would have been selected.”

…

The fight in the house was fierce.

For once, Ji Wanqing didn’t use brute force to subdue them, instead, she was able to handle them with ease, holding Ji Xinbao, dodging left and right, making them hesitant to attack, and she felt she still had the strength to fight.

Before seven o’clock, the mediators from the street committee arrived, and Ji Xiaorou quickly led them in.

Good heavens!

The fight was a complete mess!

The two mediators and a director Wang from the Women’s Federation rushed forward to pull them apart.

Ji Xinbao’s earth-shattering cry erupted like an alarm after being rescued, a neighbor outside almost dropped his bowl from the noise.

“Cough!” Ji Wanqing rubbed her ears, her eyes narrowed with a warning.

Ji Xinbao was so scared that he didn’t dare to cry anymore, he quickly found the most imposing adult in the room and hid behind her.

Director Wang hid the child behind her, her tone serious, “Tell me, what happened! How could you attack women and children in your family?”

Ji Jian Guo quickly said, “Leader, you don’t know how unruly this daughter of mine is! She not only beat her brother but also me, her old father! You know, I’ve worked so hard to raise her, and she turned out to be such an unfilial thing! I’m so miserable!”

In those days, children hitting their parents was a serious crime, some were even paraded through the streets and had their heads shaved.

Ji Wanqing immediately shed two lines of clear tears, crying and saying, “It’s not like that, Leader Auntie! I didn’t hit my dad, look at me, my arms and legs are so thin, how could I beat my dad?”

“It was just that I felt the weather was getting hot, so I washed the fan to cool off at night, but my brother, he’s always been competitive and spoiled, he wants everything good for himself! I wouldn’t let him have the fan, so my dad hit me! I didn’t dare to hit my dad, so I could only hit my brother to vent my anger!”

“My dad and Aunt Su couldn’t bear to see their son being beaten, so they jumped in to teach me a lesson! We had just started fighting, and you arrived.”

The neighbors also echoed, saying that when they came, they only saw Ji Wanqing hitting Ji Xinbao’s butt, not Ji Jian Guo, the father.

Instead, it was the father who was using force.

Director Wang just glanced at the father and daughter, and immediately believed this version of events.

After all, she had only seen sons beat their parents, and there were also unfilial daughters who beat their poor mothers, but she had never seen a thin little girl who could beat a big, strong, healthy man!

“She’s lying! She’s strong as an ox, she can take on five people by herself! Quickly arrest her, take her out to parade her, send her to jail, and let her eat bullets!” Ji Jian Guo wished he could tear Ji Wanqing, this fake pretender, apart!

She was bossing him around at home, telling him to do this and that, how come she’s so good at acting when she’s in front of outsiders!

Ji Wanqing shrank her shoulders, looked up hesitantly, as if she was afraid of being beaten if she refuted, then lowered her head again, looking timid.

The neighbors couldn’t help but speak up, “I say, Old Ji, you’ve always spoiled your little son, he’s so spoiled that he runs around chasing chickens and dogs and smashing glass in our building! I say, you have to be strict with children, it’s just that the siblings were fighting over something and the sister hit him a few times, is it worth sending your daughter to jail?”

“That’s right, your son also snatched Yangyang’s wooden sword and broke it a few days ago. I say, it’s because no one in your family can control him! Children from well-disciplined families wouldn’t be so ill-mannered.”

Ji Jian Guo was going crazy.

Normally, shouldn’t Ji Wanqing be angered, and she would beat him up, then be caught by the street committee and sent to labor camp?

How come things are out of control when it comes to this little beast?

Ji Wanqing used the same trick again, she rolled up her sleeves and showed Director Wang the new and old scars on her arm, pitifully saying, “Leader Auntie, I was so scared of being beaten that I couldn’t think straight, so I thought of teaching my brother a lesson to threaten my dad so he wouldn’t hit me anymore, I really know I was wrong.”

The neighbors also helped to speak up, “This girl is often beaten, she’s covered in scars, the police even came yesterday!”

Ji Jian Guo: ?

Why are these two sentences that are not causally related being said together?

“Leader, I’m really not lying, she just slapped me, my face still hurts…”

“Enough!”
