Chapter 6

How could that be?

He had been in pain all day, and it was still aching faintly now! But he was too proud to show his injuries to the factory, so he had been covering them up.

Ji Jianguo hurriedly lifted up his son.

But Ji Xinbao, clearly wincing in pain from his father’s movement, had no marks on his skin when his clothes were pulled back!

“Mother! Did you put medicine on Xinbao?”

Grandma Ji glanced at the police and shook her head quickly: “No, no, I saw Xinbao making a fuss but there were no injuries on him, so I thought he was just pretending to be pitiful to get candy!”

“That’s not what I’m asking!” Ji Jianguo reprimanded, “This morning, did Xinbao have any injuries?”

“No.” In front of the police, with a gun in their hand, Grandma Ji didn’t dare to lie.

What was going on?

How could this be?

The places where he had been whipped were painful to the touch, but there were no visible marks!

Now, not only the police and the onlookers, but even the eldest brother and the second brother thought that their younger brother’s family was making a big deal out of nothing, and they all looked at them disapprovingly.

Ji Jianguo was so angry that his whole body ached, but without any marks, how could anyone believe him?

Heh.

Of course, Ji Jianguo couldn’t figure out the reason.

This morning, Ji Wanqing had sprayed them all with spiritual spring water!

A whole day had passed, and there were still marks, that would be a ghost!

However, that small amount could only make the skin look unmarked, the internal soft tissue contusions wouldn’t heal so quickly.

Over there, Ji Wanqing had already prepared her emotions: “Police uncle, I called the police, please let me leave this abusive home!”

She then lifted her sleeves, showing everyone the new and old scars, and various bruises on her arms, causing the neighbors to gasp.

“Aunt Wang, please come over here.” Ji Wanqing pulled Wang Liyun to the corner of the corridor, using a pile of miscellaneous items to cover her back and lift her clothes for Aunt Wang to see.

“Hiss—”

Besides the marks from the belt, there were also marks from being hit with heavy objects, and several new marks from punches and kicks, they were fresh, from just a couple of days ago!

Wang Liyun hugged her child: “My goodness, what kind of venomous couple are they!”

Du Jianguo and Su Xiu were stunned.

They had tried their best to find any signs of being beaten on their bodies, but the little bitch was covered in their handiwork!

And Wang Liyun had already described the marks on Ji Wanqing’s body vividly!

The chubby and thin policemen’s faces grew darker and darker as they listened, and they severely reprimanded the Ji family. They also reported the matter to the neighborhood committee and the Women’s Federation, asking them to pay attention to Ji Wanqing’s situation regularly.

In this era, even if parents beat their children to death, they wouldn’t be sentenced. The police could only give a stern warning, telling them that the whole family was on record at the police station, and then the matter was dropped.

As for the Ji family’s claim that they were beaten by Ji Wanqing.

Heh, they weren’t fools, a frail little girl covered in injuries, could she beat Ji Jianguo, a grown man?

Faced with the police’s warnings and the neighbors’ indignant and disgusted looks, Ji Jianguo was truly miserable!

Before everyone dispersed, Li Daming, the most nosy person in the apartment building, came over and chimed in: “I say, Little Ji, my house is right across from yours. If the police come today, and you guys beat the child again, don’t blame me, an old woman, for spreading the word.”

Ji Jianguo was like a dumb man eating a bitter melon, unable to speak, he just wanted to get rid of them quickly, close the door, and deal with the little bitch!

“How could that be, Li Daming, I just want to educate the child properly.”

He sent the onlookers away with a few words. Ji Jianguo slammed the door shut, his face immediately sinking.

“Since you’re all here, take a seat. Xiaorou, go boil some water and make tea.” Ji Wanqing said shamelessly.

Grandma Ji, in her lifetime, had only seen a real gun when the village militia shot down a Japanese soldier.

The bullet went out, and the head exploded instantly, leaving a deep psychological shadow on her.

Compared to her arrogance just now, she was much calmer now, and she didn’t say anything to provoke anyone.

Ji Jianguo, holding back his anger, wanted to grab the little wretch and give her a good beating!

But Ji Wanqing had been eating well and drinking well these past two days, and she had been nourished by the spiritual spring water, so her strength and speed had recovered to about 70-80%.

She wasn’t afraid of Ji Jianguo’s ferocious look, and with a smooth set of moves, she slapped him twice and kicked him to the corner.

“Look at her! Look at her!” Ji Jianguo, who had been wronged and misunderstood, covered his stomach and argued loudly, “She beat me like this yesterday! She even whipped me with a belt! I’m not lying!”

Seeing her young son being beaten, Grandma Ji screamed, puffed up her chest, and charged forward with her fists clenched!

Ji Wanqing saw that the old woman’s fighting stance was full of weaknesses. She didn’t want to break her bones with two punches, so she grabbed her hair and tied her to a chair.

“Ow!!”

Grandma Ji’s eyes widened! She didn’t care about anything else, she just sat down on the chair, following Ji Wanqing’s strength!

Her hair!

Her precious hair!

She didn’t have much left because of her age, and Grandma Ji combed it neatly every morning. How much would be pulled out now!

The eldest brother, the second brother, and the second brother’s wife, seeing their mother being beaten, knew this was a big deal, and they all rushed forward to subdue Ji Wanqing!

However, Ji Wanqing’s skills had been honed in the apocalypse. Even though her body was weaker, she was more than capable of dealing with these city dwellers who ate commercially produced grain.

In a few moves, they were all on the ground, groaning in pain.

Su Xiu hugged her two children and huddled in the corner, trembling.

Fortunately, they knew better than to get involved in this mess, and they were also in excruciating pain.

If they were beaten up by Ji Wanqing again, they would be dead or half-dead!

Ji Wanqing stretched her muscles and bones, and arranged Grandma Ji, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the second brother’s wife all around the dining table.

If you ignored the cloth strips tied around them, the scene looked quite like a negotiation.

Ji Wanqing sat at the dining table, tapped on it, and said impatiently: “Xiaorou, make tea. Do I have to say it again?”

Ji Xiaorou stood up tremblingly, feeling that things at home were gradually getting out of control.

Five cups of tea were respectfully placed on the round table. Ji Wanqing was afraid that Ji Xiaorou would spit in her tea, so she switched to the eldest brother’s cup.

Sure enough, she saw Ji Xiaorou’s face contort for a moment.

Heh.

The original owner was naive and had thought that Ji Xiaorou genuinely treated her as a sister before she turned against the Ji family.

But after Ji Wanqing’s spiritual power increased, she re-examined the original owner’s memories.

As early as the first time the original owner met the Ji family, Ji Jianguo’s hypocrisy and heartlessness, Su Xiu’s selfishness and greed, Ji Xiaorou’s jealousy and ruthlessness, and Ji Xinbao’s arrogance and tyranny, were all on full display.
