Chapter 50: Drag Them Out and Give Them a Beating

“Think about it, I’ll do these things from now on, you don’t have to.”

“I have time, I’ll just tidy up.”

“Really no need, you don’t have to do anything. If you want to go out and play, go out and play. If you want to stroll around, stroll around. I’ll tidy up.”

“Dad, are you really not going to the mine?” Jiang Xiangxiang probed cautiously. “That’s settled then, you can’t go back on your word, or I’ll be angry.”

No matter what, working in the mine always has risks. It’s better if Jiang Chengshan doesn’t go. If something dangerous really happens, she won’t be able to help.

Jiang Xiangxiang even started to consider what Jiang Chengshan would do after she joined the army. Leaving him alone here would make him a lonely old man.

Jiang Chengshan nodded. He was almost regretting it now. He shouldn’t have left Jiang Xiangxiang with Ye Meiping no matter what. Now, things have escalated to this point, neither up nor down.

Just thinking about the grievances she suffered made his heart ache like needles.

Jiang Xiangxiang smiled, “That’s good, Dad. We’ve agreed, you can’t go back on your word!”

Jiang Chengshan nodded, “Don’t worry, no matter what, Dad has to watch you get married, have children. We’ll talk about the future later.”

If it doesn’t work out, he’ll just find a job in the collective. Although it doesn’t pay as much as the mine, it’s close to home, and if anything happens, he can easily take care of things. It’s good.

Jiang Chengshan had a clear idea in his mind of what he should do next.

Hearing him say this, Jiang Xiangxiang felt inexplicably guilty and embarrassed to say that she was going to join the army. If she really joined the army, he probably wouldn’t agree to her marrying Lu Jianshen, even if he were beaten to death.

Jiang Xiangxiang chuckled and said proactively, “Ahem, Dad, let’s eat, let’s eat first, then we’ll talk, no rush.”

Jiang Chengshan wanted to say something else, but when he met her gaze, he fell silent. Forget it, don’t say it anymore, it’s useless to say more.

He didn’t want Jiang Xiangxiang to marry so soon, but obviously, his daughter wouldn’t listen to him.

After the two of them had a simple meal, Jiang Chengshan took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, firmly refusing to let Jiang Xiangxiang help. He truly cherished her.

Jiang Xiangxiang didn’t refuse. Since they were going to be a family, they should act like one. They couldn’t be so separated all the time.

How could that be!

Seeing Jiang Chengshan busy, Jiang Xiangxiang went out for a walk, both to digest her food and to give Jiang Chengshan some space to wash up.

This was very important.

Jiang Chengshan originally wanted to say that he would just wash up by the river and didn’t need Jiang Xiangxiang to go out. It was late at night, and it wasn’t safe for her to go out alone.

But when he came out, he found that she was gone, and he didn’t know where she had gone.

Jiang Chengshan was a little anxious. He wanted to go out and look for her, but seeing the hot water on the stove, he didn’t disappoint her good intentions and washed up.

He had been squatting in the mine for years, never seeing the sun. Besides working, he basically had no time for himself. Washing up now was a good thing. He could leave a good impression on the Lu family at tomorrow’s engagement ceremony.

Of course, the most important thing was to prevent Jiang Xiangxiang from losing face, which was very important.

While washing, Jiang Chengshan pondered whether he had missed anything. If so, he had to buy it quickly. He absolutely couldn’t let Jiang Xiangxiang lose face in front of the Lu family.

After Jiang Xiangxiang went out, she first moved her ankles to make sure there was nothing wrong before continuing to walk forward. No matter what, her health came first. It was obviously not good if she harmed her health because of other things.

However, after walking around, Jiang Xiangxiang found that she didn’t really have anywhere to go.

After all, she wasn’t very familiar with this village. She couldn’t go to Lu Jianshen, even though they had agreed to get engaged, it was still not officially recognized.

So many things had just happened, there might be nosy people hiding in the dark watching them.

Jiang Xiangxiang didn’t really want to go there either. After thinking about it, she still wanted to see Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou. There was no reason to let them off so easily.

She had to drag them out and give them a beating.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t sit still. She found a deserted place, flashed into her space, looked at the little red dots on the map, skipped walking, and went straight to the police station.

Jiang Xiangxiang still used the same method as before, picking deserted places. Now, Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou were locked up in one place, and Old Liu Tou was locked up in another room alone.

When she arrived, she heard Ye Meiping swearing and cursing her.

“Jiang Xiangxiang, you little bitch, I should have killed you earlier, so I wouldn’t be so passive.”

“Rourou, why did you have to fall for Lu Jianshen? If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“…”

Although these words were filled with some resentment, there was no blame.

Jiang Xiangxiang listened from the side and found it very funny. Ye Meiping really wouldn’t give up until the very end. She was still jumping around even though she was in the police station.

She really wasn’t afraid of eavesdropping.

That’s right, Ye Meiping wished she were dead, so how could she care about those things? If she were dead, it would be more in line with Ye Meiping’s wishes.

As for Jiang Rourou, she must have saved Ye Meiping’s whole family in her previous life. Even now, Jiang Rourou didn’t harbor any resentment towards her. On the contrary, she seemed to be quite good to her.

Hearing Ye Meiping say this, Jiang Rourou chose to remain silent. She didn’t expect things to escalate to this point. If she had known, she wouldn’t have used such a stupid method.

Now, she had trapped herself. What to do.

“Mom, you have the time to regret, you might as well think about how we get out. If we stay here forever, we’ll just die.”

“You say it easily, this is the police station, how can I get out? Speaking of which, I’m so angry, Jiang Chengshan, that heartless man, didn’t even come to see me.”

“…”

Here we go again!

Jiang Rourou rolled her eyes unceremoniously. Since she was arrested, Ye Meiping had been rambling like a madwoman, either complaining about this or that, completely useless.

Even if they were really in the police station, couldn’t they get out?

Jiang Rourou didn’t think so. She had to find a way to get out. If she failed once, she would try again. As long as she was alive, she wouldn’t let Jiang Xiangxiang have her way.

If she was arrested, but Jiang Xiangxiang successfully married Lu Jianshen, then she would be too much of a loser.
