Chapter 54

Xiao Yichen was about to say something, but Xia Yunxuan stopped him. She shook her head at him and mouthed, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen. These people won’t get away with anything. Watch how I slap them in the face.”

Xiao Yichen knew his little girl had a plan, so he felt relieved. He also winked at Gu Beihuai, who understood immediately. He also felt relieved and waited for his sister-in-law to slap them in the face. Now that they were dating, he could finally call her sister-in-law.

Just then, Xia Yunxuan’s second uncle’s niece, Xia Yunge and Xia Yunqing, said, “Comrade Little Red Soldier, you don’t know what my cousin is like now. You have to discipline her.”

“First, she cut off ties with her grandparents. When she left, she even took my grandma’s retirement money. Then, she hits people randomly. I don’t know what happened to my cousin, but she’s hanging out with two intellectuals.”

Li Wenfang also jumped out and said, “Comrade Little Red Soldier, you don’t know. My cousin is very good at using her fox-like charm to cheat people out of money and seduce them. I don’t know how much money she’s cheated people out of during this time. I can smell meat at her house every day.”

Feng Shuwen winked at Gao Meihua and Old Lady He. Old Lady He immediately sat on the ground, slapped her thigh, and howled, “Comrade Little Red Soldier, you have to stand up for me!”

“You don’t know how miserable my life is. I’ve spent my whole life raising this vixen. Now she doesn’t even acknowledge us. She wants to cut off ties with us. She even stole my retirement money. Is there no justice in this world?”

Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Guan, and Mrs. Gao, who were standing nearby, also chimed in, “Little girl, this is wrong. No matter how bad your grandma is, she raised you. You shouldn’t have stolen her retirement money. You’re so young, and you’ve been going astray. This is a disgrace to our village.”

The captain was having a headache. These people were always causing trouble. Now even the Little Red Soldier was here. This matter wouldn’t be simple today.

If he didn’t handle this well, he might even lose his position as captain. The Little Red Soldier wasn’t easy to deal with. The captain now understood that someone must have reported them. The Little Red Soldier rarely came to their village.

After this was over, he would find out who had a full stomach and nothing to do and reported them. He wouldn’t let that person off easy. He, Xia Daming, would make them pay.

“Xia Yunyan, with a look of concern for her sister, said, ‘Sister, we know you’re young and have made mistakes. If you admit your mistakes now and return the money, I believe everyone will be lenient. At most, you’ll just be punished.’

“But if you keep being foolish, we won’t be able to protect you. You might be taken away by the Little Red Soldier today.”

“Xia Yunge said, ‘My cousin doesn’t listen to reason. You’re trying to help her, but she doesn’t appreciate it. Look at how well she’s dressed and how well she eats. I think you should just save your breath.'”

At this time, Gao Meihua also said, “Girl Yun, it’s your mother’s fault. It’s your mother’s fault. Just apologize to everyone. Otherwise, the whole village will know about you messing around with those intellectuals and stealing your grandma’s retirement money.”

Gao Meihua’s acting was so convincing that people who didn’t know the truth thought she was heartbroken because her daughter was disobedient. She cried so sadly and pitifully.

“Xia Dahai, leaning on his cane, came over trembling. He said, ‘Girl Yun, just apologize to everyone. Ask Comrade Little Red Soldier to forgive you. I won’t tell everyone about the time you almost beat me to death. I’ll beg the captain and Comrade Little Red Soldier to show mercy and not make you wear a dunce cap and parade around the village.'”

When Xia Yunxuan heard this, her mouth twitched. Was he afraid that her crimes weren’t enough, so he wanted to add another one, saying she was messing around with someone?

It was a good thing she wasn’t the original owner. She knew what kind of rotten hearts this family had. They were not her real parents and grandparents. If it were the original owner, she would have been so angry that she would have died. Was this something a real father would say?

He said he wouldn’t tell everyone about the time she almost beat him to death, but he just said it in front of everyone. Were these people all fools or did they have hearing problems?

Xiao Yichen and Gu Beihuai heard this and looked at each other. Gu Beihuai spread his hands and gave Xiao Yichen a look. He mouthed, “Boss, is this still your sister-in-law’s dad? Is this something a human would say? Is he an idiot?”

Xia Dahai continued, “Girl Yun, just apologize to everyone. I believe they’ll be lenient for my sake. They’ll just make you suffer a little and learn a lesson. You’re so young, and you’re already going astray. You’re hanging out with those rich guys.

“This is a disgrace to our village. In the future, if people want to arrange marriages, they’ll know you’re from our village. How will the young men find wives? How will the young women get married?”

Xia Dahai was desperate. This daughter wasn’t his real daughter anyway. Since she didn’t listen to him, he would just slander her and make her unable to stay in this village. Let’s see what she could do. Did she think those intellectuals would really marry her?

Besides her pretty face, what else did she have that could attract a rich young master from Beijing?

“He Laotai, at this time, continued to cry and wail. She had received a signal from Feng Shuwen. She said, ‘Comrade Little Red Soldier, you can investigate my granddaughter carefully. I bet she stole more than just my money. Otherwise, how could she build a house and buy furniture? Where did she get the money?’

“And she eats meat every day. This morning, she went to town and bought a lot of meat. Everyone saw that. Where did she get the money and the ration coupons?”

“We wanted to discipline her, but she wouldn’t listen. She even hit us with a stick. Is there such a rebellious granddaughter? I don’t know what sins I committed in my past life.”

Xia Dabao jumped out at this time and said, “Xia Yunxuan, just admit it. Otherwise, I don’t have a shameless sister who messes around with other people. Ugh.”

“You’re so young, and you’re already going astray. You’re shameless. What do you think you are? Those intellectuals wouldn’t want you. They’re just playing around.”

Why did Xia Dabao jump out? Feng Shuwen had given him 50 cents to say these things. Otherwise, Xia Dabao, a simpleton, wouldn’t have been able to say anything. Xia Dabao didn’t care. As long as someone paid him, he would do anything.
