Chapter 17

Ye Xiuwen looked at Jiang Weimin, “Dad, what’s wrong with you?”

Hearing her son-in-law’s worried tone, Li Chunhua burst into tears. She handed the stool to Ye Xuwen to sit on, and began to list Jiang Ci’s crimes one by one.

Ye Xuwen couldn’t help but frown after hearing this, “You mean Jiang Ci beat you up for no reason and moved the furniture away from your house?”

Li Chunhua nodded and said, “Yes, it is absolutely abominable.”

Ye Xuwen asked in confusion, “Mom, Jiang Ci is so weak, she beat people and moved things with a child, even an adult man can’t do it, if you have mental problems, get checked out.”

Jiang Ci held the child and sat leisurely on the hospital bed next to her, watching the show.

Jiang Fei quickly came up to Ye Xiuwen and explained, “Comrade Gu, the person we need to check is Jiang Ci. I think her behavior is abnormal, most likely she is possessed by a ghost.”

Ye Xiuwen raised his eyebrows, “Sister, we are against feudal superstition now. I think you are also very ill. Come and get checked with mom.”

Jiang Ci cooperated and stood up and said, “I’ll go find a doctor.” Then she left the ward.

Jiang Fei quickly waved her hand, “I’m not sick.”

Ye Xuwen was suspicious, “You’re not sick? Why do you look like a psychopath to me? You pooped in front of my door yesterday.”

“Comrade Gu!” Jiang Fei immediately interrupted Ye Xuwen, “I just couldn’t hold it in anymore yesterday.”

Ye Xuwen continued: “You said Jiang Ci hit you, why did she only hit you and not others?”

Jiang Fei was speechless and stuttered anxiously. Jiang Yaozu happened to come in, so she pointed at him and said, “Tell me, was it Jiang Ci who stabbed me in the face?”

Jiang Yaozu glanced at Jiang Fei, then at Gu Jinghuai. It was indeed the second sister who stabbed the eldest sister in the face, but the eldest sister was not wrong either. Jiang Yaozu said, “It was you who hurt the second sister first.”

“Jiang Yaozu!” Jiang Fei grabbed Jiang Yaozu’s ear angrily, “Try to say that again.”

Jiang Yaozu screamed in pain, and yelled like a pig being slaughtered, “Murder, murder, my elder sister hit me!”

His shout attracted everyone in the corridor to come and watch the fun.

Jiang Fei was so angry that she actually hit Jiang Yaozu on the head.

Li Chunhua was eager to protect her son. She held Jiang Yaozu behind her and said, “This is your brother!”

Jiang Fei stamped her feet in anger, “Mom, he was the one who started talking nonsense.”

Jiang Yaozu rubbed his painful ear and said, “I’m not talking nonsense. Director Sun lost his balls because of you.”

The people at the door originally thought it was just a family dispute, but they didn’t expect to get into such a big news that the door to the ward was blocked for a while. When Jiang Ci called the doctor over, she struggled to squeeze in through the door.

Jiang Ci pointed at Jiang Fei and said, “Doctor, it’s her. She always feels like a ghost is following her, and she has incontinence.”

Jiang Yaozu agreed, “Yes, she defecated and peed in front of my second sister’s house yesterday.”

“You, you, you! I didn’t poop or pee!” Jiang Fei was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Jiang Yaozu for a long time and couldn’t say anything. Finally, she yelled at the door, “What are you looking at? Get out of here!”

Seeing her crazy look, the doctor hurriedly asked two nurses to hold Jiang Fei down.

Jiang Fei struggled and yelled, “I’m not sick, let me go! Jiang Ci, Jiang Ci you are a piece of shit!”

The doctor said quickly: “Quick, tie her up and gag her.”

Seeing this, Li Chunhua quickly told the doctor: “I am Nurse Li from the nurse station. Doctor, my daughter is not sick.”

Ye Xiuwen echoed from the side: “Doctor, check my mother-in-law as well. She is also unconscious.”

Li Chunhua grabbed the doctor’s arm and explained, “I’m really not sick.”

The doctor didn’t listen to her explanation and just had the two of them taken down.

The mother and daughter were taken away, and the onlookers gradually dispersed. The ward was finally quiet. Only Jiang Weimin was lying motionless on the bed with his eyes open.

Ye Xuwen walked to Jiang Weimin’s bedside and called him “Dad”.

For some reason, Jiang Weimin felt a huge sense of fear in his heart. His lips trembled and he couldn’t utter a syllable for a long time.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Ye Xuwen continued, “Who hit you?”

Jiang Weimin only felt cold and oppressive, as if an invisible knife was placed on his neck. He really didn’t know who hit him, so he quickly shook his head.

Ye Xuwen, “I don’t know and I dare not say.”

Jiang Weimin choked up. He could only think of one person. “Yes, it’s Jiang Ci.”

Ye Xiuwen continued: “Do you have any evidence?”

Jiang Weimin shook his head.

Ye Xiuwen said: “It seems that you are as mentally ill as your mother. You need to go to the psychiatric department for electric shock and acupuncture. Once you are cured, you will stop talking nonsense.”

Jiang Weimin was so scared that he shook his head repeatedly, “No, no, no, it’s not Jiang Ci, I was just talking nonsense. I drank too much yesterday and I can’t remember clearly.”

Ye Xiuwen said: “Okay, I will tell the police what you said, and let the police handle the rest.”

Jiang Weimin raised his hand to refuse, “No, no need to call the police.”

It’s useless to investigate. It was Jiang Fei who threw mud at herself. This matter can only be left unresolved.

Ye Xuwen said: “Then we respect your opinion, have a good rest, goodbye.”

Jiang Yaozu also wanted to leave, and Ye Xuwen asked him to accompany him.

——

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ci looked at Ye Xuwen with admiration and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so good at bluffing. I’m very satisfied with you as a partner.”

Ye Xuwen straightened his back, put his hands behind his back and said, “Play normally. If Jiang Weimin doesn’t change his ways, I’ll give him a taste of pain next time.”

Jiang Ci agreed. She gave Tiantian to him and said, “Hold me for a while. My arms are so sore.”

Ye Xiuwen held the child and asked, “Go home?”

Jiang Ci said, “No, I’m going to the department store to buy some milk powder. Breastfeeding every day is too tiring. I want to stop breastfeeding.” She had this idea a long time ago, but she had no money at the beginning. Now that I have Ye Xuwen as my meal ticket, of course I have to go shopping.

Ye Xiuwen said: “I don’t have any milk powder tickets.”

Oh, it’s this damn ticket again. You need a ticket to buy anything. Jiang Ci said angrily, “Forget it, I’ll save up the tickets first, or go to the black market to exchange some.”

Ye Xiuwen said: “Is there a breeding farm nearby? We can go there to buy some goat milk.”

Jiang Ci said: “There should be some farmers nearby. It’s quite far, so you have to take a bus to get there.”

Ye Xuwen looked down at his watch. It was eleven o’clock. He said, “Let’s go have a meal first, then you take the kids home and I’ll go buy it.”

Jiang Ci asked, “Do you know the way?”

Before Ye Xuwen could answer, a little boy suddenly came over and stepped on Jiang Ci. The little boy was wearing overalls and a striped vest, and looked like a spoiled kid from a rich family. He didn’t apologize after stepping on Jiang Ci, and even laughed at Jiang Ci. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.

Ye Xuwen pointed at the little boy and said, “Apologize!”

The little boy suddenly covered his eyes and started crying, “You are a soldier, and soldiers still bully people.”

Ye Xuwen lifted him up with one hand holding his sling, “Apologize for the last time!”

“Mom, someone bullied me!” The little boy became even more unscrupulous.

Ye Xuwen stopped talking and raised his hand to hang him on the branch of a large locust tree on the roadside. The branch was high, almost 1.7 meters above the ground.

The little boy was frightened and said quickly, “I’m sorry, uncle.”

“Too late!”

Jiang Ci looked at Ye Xuwen’s icy face and for the first time felt that this man was more reliable than his brother.
