Chapter 19

Wang Dazui’s face turned red and white. She pointed at Jiang Ning and shouted, “You’re killing someone! I’m going to call the police and have you arrested.”

She pointed at her daughter in the water and said, “You shameful thing, let me go!”

At this time, Sun Hehe in the water could not listen to her mother’s words, and just kept diving into Er Laizi’s arms.

The village chief couldn’t stand it anymore and ordered the onlookers to go down and pull the two unruly people out of the water.

Sun He He climbed out of the water, feeling ashamed and angry. She cried to Wang Da Zui, “Mom, I don’t want to live anymore!”

Wang Dazui was furious and yelled at Jiang Ning, “You crazy woman! I’m going to call the police and have you arrested!”

Jiang Ning sneered: “I’m just following the rules you set. Besides, if you want to call the police, go ahead. Your daughter pushed Sui Sui first, and I’m just retaliating.”

Er Laizi also climbed ashore, laughing and trying to pull Sun He He, “He He, we have physical contact, you have to marry me.”

Sun He He was furious and anxious, she raised her hand and slapped Er Lai Zi, “You’re dreaming, you toad want to eat swan meat!

You’re being rude to me, I’m going to call the police and put you in jail.”

But Er Laizi was not a pushover either. He slapped Sun He He in the face and said, “You stinky bastard!”, why didn’t you think of calling the police when you pushed Ji Yansui?

You didn’t push them on purpose so that I could be the hero and save the girl, so why can others do it but you can’t?”

As soon as he said this, the onlookers immediately understood the whole story and accused Sun Hehe of being a lazy idiot, and also scolded Wang Dazui.

When Sun Hehe saw Er Laizi telling the truth, she was so angry that she started fighting with him on the shore. Wang Dazui panicked and tried to stop the fight while cursing.

Jiang Ning looked at the chaotic scene, a smug smile appearing on his lips.

“That’s enough!” the village chief stood up and shouted, “Stop making trouble! Aren’t you too idle all day? You two idiots, Sun Hehe, you two are causing trouble. I’ll punish you by making you clean the pigsty for three days.”

The village chief then looked at Jiang Ning and said, “Ji’s wife, you also clean the pigsty.”

“Village chief, it’s…” Wang Dazui was about to say something when he was shocked by the village chief’s loud shout.

“Shut up. If you talk back, you’ll be punished by sweeping the streets for a month.”

Although Er Laizi and Sun Hehe were not convinced, they did not dare to disobey the village chief’s words anymore.

Wang Dazui wanted to say something else, but the village chief glared at him and he had no choice but to shut up.

Jiang Ning supported Ji Yansui and left the crowd with her parents-in-law.

Ji Yansui said with red eyes: “Sister-in-law, thanks to you.”

Jiang Ning patted her hands and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here and I won’t let you suffer any injustice.”

Ji Yansui smiled through his tears and looked at Jiang Ning gratefully, “Sister-in-law, you are amazing!”

“Sui Sui, we don’t cause trouble, but we’re not afraid of trouble either! When we meet people like Er Laizi and Sun Hehe, we can solve the problem with fists instead of reasoning with them.” Jiang Ning said.

When they returned home, Tian Yufang hurried to find clean clothes for Ji Yansui, and the storm was temporarily calmed down.

The food on the table had already gone cold, so Grandma Ji took it to the kitchen to heat it up.

The family sat around the dinner table. Grandma Ji asked about what happened. Ji Yansui, who had long since returned to his usual cheerful demeanor, was vividly describing to his grandmother and eldest brother how Jiang Ning had domineeringly punished the bad guys.

It was as if what she was talking about was not her own business, but someone else’s.

“Yes, today is all thanks to Ningning. If it weren’t for Ningning…” Tian Yufang choked up as she spoke, lowered her head and wiped away her tears quietly.

“Okay, it’s okay now. Why are you crying again?” Ji Hongzhi said with a sad face.

“What are you talking about? You’re a grown man, but you can’t say a word when you see your daughter being wronged.” Tian Yufang wiped her tears and complained.

Jiang Ning listened to her mother-in-law’s complaints and looked up at her father-in-law. She knew that her father-in-law was an honest and even a little cowardly man.

Ji Hongzhi opened his mouth, but was left speechless by his wife’s retort.

“Dad, what mom said is true. Your daughter has been bullied, so how can you not beat that bastard up?” Ji Yansui pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly.

Ji Hongzhi lowered his head, his face filled with shame. “I… I was also panicked at the time and didn’t know how to deal with it.”

Jiang Ning quickly tried to smooth things over, “Dad, the situation happened suddenly and we didn’t have time to think too much. Now that it’s resolved, we won’t be afraid if we encounter something like this in the future.”

Ji Yansui’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Sister-in-law, you are so smart, you have made them obedient.

If I meet bad guys again, I will deal with them the same way you did today.”

Jiang Ning smiled and patted her head. “When you encounter something in the future, you should stay calm and think clearly before taking action.”

Ji Yanli sat aside and looked at the confident and beautiful Jiang Ning, and a ripple surged in his heart. He did not expect Jiang Ning to be so smart and brave, and to be able to deal with the situation calmly.

Ji Yanli was lost in thought, and Jiang Ning inadvertently looked up and met his gaze. Ji Yanli blushed and quickly looked away.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

“Jiang Ning, thank you for today!”

Jiang Ning helped Ji Yanli back to the room. Ji Yanli sat on the kang, looked at Jiang Ning gently, and spoke.

“What are you thanking me for?” Jiang Ning looked at him and asked with raised eyebrows.

“Thank you for standing up for Sui Sui today.” Ji Yanli explained.

“I’m standing up for her, not for you. Why are you thanking me?” Jiang Ning said indifferently with a slight smile on his face.

Ji Yanli was choked by Jiang Ning, scratched his head, and said seriously: “No matter what, you have maintained the dignity of our Ji family, I have to thank you.

Moreover, your performance today impressed me.”

Jiang Ning felt a little proud, but he still said stubbornly, “I just can’t stand those bullies.”

After saying that, she turned around to get some water to wipe Ji Yanli’s face.

Ji Yanli looked at her busy back and said softly, “I’ll be here from now on and I won’t let you suffer any grievances.”

Jiang Ning paused, feeling inexplicably touched, but pretended not to hear.

When she came back with water and wiped Ji Yanli’s face, Ji Yanli suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at her with burning eyes.

Jiang Ning’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked with wide eyes, “What are you doing?”

Ji Yanli’s cheeks flushed, and he stammered, “Jiang Ning, you are really…good.”

Jiang Ning pulled her hand back and turned her head away, “I know I’m fine, stop being so cheesy, wipe it quickly and go to bed.” But her ears turned red.

Seeing this, Ji Yanli raised the corners of his mouth, and obediently cooperated with Jiang Ning to wipe his face and lay down on the kang.

After Jiang Ning finished packing, he quietly lay down at the end of the kang and prepared for a nap.

She felt a pair of eyes behind her staring at her with burning gaze, preventing her from sleeping peacefully.

After a moment, she stood up, took out a piece of clothing from the closet, turned around and threw it in Ji Yanli’s face, “Sleep!”

Ji Yanli took the clothes off his face, looked at Jiang Ning’s back with a smile on his face, and then closed his eyes.

Soon, the sound of even breathing came from the quiet room!

Half an hour later, Jiang Ning opened her eyes, sat up, supported her chin and looked at Ji Yanli who was sleeping on the other end of the kang.

She could feel that Ji Yanli had developed special feelings for her.

Jiang Ning felt a little complicated. She had originally just wanted to stay here for a while and leave when Ji Yanli recovered. She didn’t expect him to have such thoughts.

She looked at Ji Yanli’s sleeping face, whose features were firm and he looked quite handsome.

Jiang Ning shook his head and secretly reminded himself not to get caught up in it.

At this time, Ji Yanli seemed to feel her gaze, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Jiang Ning staring at him. He felt a little shy and a little happy.

“You’re awake, why are you still looking at me?” Ji Yanli asked softly.
