Chapter 38 There's definitely a man outside.
"Secretary Tian, don't worry, I know the law. I've checked, this situation is called self-defense. At most it's mutual fighting, and even if the police come, nothing will happen."
Qiao An kindly explained to Tian Yongfu.
Is this the key point?
Tian Yongfu almost choked on his breath and couldn't catch his breath.
"Jiang Heizi! Jiang Heizi, are you alright? Open the door quickly!" Tian Yongfu knocked on the door, fearing that Jiang Heizi might have died inside.
There was also a female bandit outside with a knife. Jiang Heizi dared not open the door, fearing that if he did, he would be greeted by a flying kitchen knife.
"I'm fine, Secretary Tian, get that bitch out of here!" Jiang Heizi blocked the door, too afraid to open it.
"Oh my, who knew the Jiang family would back down one day?"
"He's a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. When Qiao An gets angry, several grown men run away faster than anyone else."
"If you ask me, they deserve it. Who told them to be so arrogant because they're poor? They're always bullying others. Today, they'll taste what it's like to be bullied."
"Hey, that's not right. It wasn't about being bullied. As Qiao An said, it was... legitimate self-defense!"
Many of those who came to watch the spectacle had suffered losses at the hands of the Jiang family.
Seeing their family suffer now makes me feel incredibly happy.
"Jiang Heizi, I'll have someone bring Li Yumei over later, and then I'll have Aunt Zhao check your injuries. Don't try to tough it out."
At this point, Tian Yongfu turned around and said, "Put the knife away now!"
Qiao An raised an eyebrow and obediently put down the knife.
"You! You're always looking for trouble."
"Secretary Tian, as you all saw, if we hadn't been prepared, I would have been the one getting beaten up today. So it was the Jiang family who started this trouble, not me."
The people around her started speaking up for Joan.
"A bunch of grown men beating up a woman like Qiao An, how impressive! Now they deserve to be hacked to pieces!"
"Yes, yes! We can all testify for Qiao An that the Jiang family attacked first, but they're just useless; they can't even beat a woman."
Tian Yongfu glared at them. "What time is it? Why aren't you at work yet! Let's go! Let's disperse!"
A group of people walked away, laughing and joking, carrying iron hoes and spades.
Qiao An noticed that there were also members of the Huo family in the crowd.
Huo Shoutian looked gloomy. He originally thought that Qiao An would be scared out of her wits, and then they would naturally come out to say a few words to help Qiao An go home.
Unexpectedly, it failed again.
This Qiao An used to be so timid at home, how did she suddenly become so domineering?
They don't understand or comprehend it.
"Mom and Dad, I don't think Qiao An is coming home. What should we do?" Huo Jiyu's brows were so furrowed they could trap a mosquito.
"Originally, we were afraid that she would divorce the second son, and if they did, the second son would probably stop sending money home. Now I'm hoping that the second son will divorce her. With Qiao An in this state, we can't count on the family at all. If the second son comes back in the future, who knows how she'll whisper in his ear," Liu Huying said angrily.
"We couldn't leave the brigade last time, it'll be even harder next time." Wang Shuyun's eyes suddenly lit up. "Hey? Mom, I have an idea."
"Tell me about it."
"She's been living like a widow for so many years, and now she's moved out on her own and even found a job in town. Doesn't that mean she has someone else on the side?"
"Or what about her? She can't even read a single word, and she thinks she can work as a helper at the police station? I don't believe it!"
For the first time, Shen Xiufang agreed with her sister-in-law's words, "I think the third daughter-in-law makes a good point. Qiao An looks quite nice when she's dressed up. If she didn't say so, who would know she's a mother of two?"
Wang Shuyun continued, "So she must have a man in town. All we need to do is follow her and find evidence of her affair with a man, and that'll solve everything, right?"
"You make it sound so easy. If one person has to go with her, there will be one less person in the family to earn work points. What will we eat? What will we drink?" Liu Huying rolled her eyes.
"Mom, as long as you get her to divorce the second son, you pretend to be sick. I'll write to my eldest brother to complain, and he'll definitely send money home. Anyway, he rarely comes back, so he won't find out."
Huo Jiyu also felt that his wife's plan was feasible.
"That little bitch Joan eats meat every day, even the rat poison is made with pork. Logically speaking, she's spent almost all her money after buying so many things these days, but look at her, new clothes, new shoes, and she even bought malted milk powder for those two little beasts."
"Where did the money come from?" Wang Shuyun pouted. "It must have been given to me by some random guy!"
The more they talked, the more outrageous their words became, but they still felt they made sense.
When Qiao An left the Huo family, she took 240 yuan with her.
I bought a cartload of things, which must have cost over a hundred dollars. Then I ate meat every day, bought clothes, and had two children.
These days, Huo Chen and Huo Ning have visibly gained weight, they must be eating delicious food every day.
How much money could make her suffer like this?
Huo Shoutian and Liu Huying exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Wang Shuyun.
Wang Shuyun was the only one in the family who was physically weak and earned the fewest work points, so she was the most suitable person to do the tracking.
Sensing their gazes, Wang Shuyun immediately understood what her in-laws meant.
She patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll definitely ruin that little bitch's reputation and make her get out of our Lianchi Village."
They knew perfectly well what was going on.
If Qiao An really has someone else outside, once she is caught cheating, only death awaits her.
These days, when a woman's extramarital affair is discovered, she either throws herself into a well or hangs herself.
It's simply impossible to survive.
But whether Joan lives or dies is none of their business; all they care about is the money.
At this moment, Joan was carrying a bloodstained kitchen knife, preparing to go home.
Tian Yongfu followed closely behind, fearing that she would go to the Jiang family's house to block the door again.
On the way back, we ran into Li Yumei and Old Lady Zhao, who were being carried home.
Li Yumei was trembling all over from the pain, and she was even more startled when she saw Qiao An.
Qiao An raised a kitchen knife to scare her, but when Li Yumei saw the blood on the knife, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Little auntie, please stop scaring people with this kitchen knife, okay? I'm begging you." Tian Yongfu was truly at his wit's end.
"Okay, okay."
After saying that, Qiao An took two steps forward and used Li Yumei's clothes to wipe the bloodstains off the kitchen knife.
Grandma Zhao looked at Qiao An with great interest, thinking that although the boy had a bad temper, he had courage and was quite a character.
"Aunt Zhao, we'll have to trouble you with the Jiang family's affairs then," Tian Yongfu said.
"Hmm, Qiao girl knows what she's doing. I guess Jiang Heizi's injuries shouldn't be too serious."
Qiao An chuckled, "Aunt Zhao is really amazing!"
Old Mrs. Zhao chuckled inwardly. Qiao An was indeed formidable; she had broken Li Yumei's collarbone.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone; she can forget about working and earning work points this winter.
When Old Lady Zhao arrived at the Jiang family home and saw the injury on Jiang Heizi's back, she became even more convinced that Qiao An had done it on purpose.
Jiang Heizi had two knife wounds on his back. Although they were not deep enough to expose the bone, they still looked terrifying. He needed to rest and recover from these kinds of injuries.
In other words, the Jiang family suddenly lost two able-bodied members.
We were already poor, and this winter will probably be even harder.
Jiang Huzi and Jiang Baozi's family is not wealthy and has many members, so they probably won't help Jiang Heizi.
In this way, Qiao An not only taught Jiang Heizi's family a lesson, but also indirectly sowed discord among the three brothers.
What a clever and domineering young wife! Old Mrs. Zhao thought to herself.
