Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Damn, I actually think he’s a bit handsome
“Hmm, are you saying that my wife dug up your wild vegetables on your land?”
“Exactly!”
Lu Qinsi said, looking up.
“Hmm, if she really did dig up your vegetables, then compensation is due.”
Chen Jie said, and the people around him all looked like they were thinking, ‘I told you he is a wimp.’
Meanwhile, Su Yunjin, numb, looked up at Chen Jie, the light completely fading from her eyes. She had thought Chen Jie had changed, but now it seemed he was still the same as before; she had no hope left.
She sadly lowered her head, mocking herself internally for being so foolish as to believe that Chen Jiusi could change.
Upon receiving Chen Jie’s response, Lu Qinsi immediately said cheerfully, “Good, good, Brother Jiu Si is truly reasonable. Come on, give me the rabbit; it’s really fat!”
Lu Qinsi was grinning from ear to ear, feeling that her trip had not been in vain, managing to trick a fat rabbit for herself. It had been a month since she had tasted anything greasy; today was a profitable day.
Thinking about it, Lu Qinsi couldn’t help but salivate.
Indeed, this Chen Jiusi is such a wimp, easy to bully!
Thinking this, she reached out to get the rabbit from Chen Jie, but unexpectedly, Chen Jie did not give her the rabbit and continued, “Wait, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
Lu Qinsi said, “Then hurry up and say it.”
Chen Jie said, “I said if we did dig up your wild vegetables, we should compensate, but how can you prove that it was my wife who dug up your vegetables?”
“Huh?”
Hearing this, the people around were all surprised as they looked at Chen Jie.
Even the disheartened Su Yunjin couldn’t help but look up at Chen Jie.
Lu Qinsi’s expression chilled, “What do you mean?”
Chen Jie replied, “Exactly what I said.”
“You want to deny it?”
Lu Qinsi’s face grew even uglier as she pointed at Su Yunjin and said, “This piece of trash admitted herself that she was digging at East River, and you still want to deny it?”
“So what if it was at East River?”
“East River is my territory, whatever grows there is my wild vegetables,” Lu Qinsi said fiercely, and upon hearing this, Chen Jie smirked and said, “East River is your territory, huh? Fine, show me the deed.”
“You!”
Lu Qinsi was at a loss for words due to Chen Jie’s retort; the deed, where could she find a deed for that piece of land at East River?
Seeing Lu Qinsi looking ugly, Chen Jie coldly said, “You don’t have a deed, trying to act tough? How does that make it your territory? We dug there, what does it have to do with you; stop barking at our gate, get lost!”
“I…”
Lu Qinsi was furious, ready to curse at Chen Jie, but Chen Jie was quicker and slapped her across the face.
Slap!
A loud smack resounded through the yard, shocking everyone, and they stared at Chen Jie in disbelief, unable to fathom that he dared to strike.
Even the disheartened Su Yunjin now raised her head, her eyes wide, incredulously watching everything unfold.
And the people around her were also staring with wide eyes, unable to believe what was happening.
“Holy shit, how dare Chen Jiusi!”
Suddenly, everything went silent around, and inside the house, Daisy Su Yunrui’s eyes widened as she gripped her bamboo basket even tighter.
Lu Qinsi was stunned by the slap and took a while to react; then, she flipped out.
“Ah, dare to hit me, I’ll kill you!”
That said, Lu Qinsi, like a madwoman, lunged at Chen Jie. Her infamous shrewish fighting style emerged with her black, pitch-dark nails aiming right for Chen Jie, ready to leave a bloody scratch if they made contact.
Seeing this, Chen Jie instinctively kicked out, flipping Lu Qinsi over.
After all, Chen Jie was an adult male who was physically stronger than Lu Qinsi, and he had learnt some boxing at the Fighting Club in a past life for business reasons.
Though he wasn’t a match for real experts, he had once taken down three to five people by himself. Handling this crazed woman wasn’t much of a challenge.
With one kick, he floored Lu Qinsi and immediately rushed over, grabbing her collar and smacking her face twice.
He cursed, “Last time you hit my wife, I didn’t trouble you. Today, you dared to come bully at my door, thinking I gave you face, huh? Let me tell you, if you dare mess with my wife again, I’ll fucking beat you to death!”
“Bastard, ptui!”
After the two slaps, he got up and fiercely kicked her one more time, simultaneously spitting on Lu Qinsi’s face.
At that moment, Lu Qinsi’s swollen face rolled on the ground as she shouted, “Murder! Murder!”
But Chen Jie didn’t care one bit. He had spent his childhood in the countryside and knew how bullying worked there; they would practically bully you to death.
And to avoid being bullied, you had to show you weren’t to be messed with, even if it meant being ruthless.
“A first punch to avoid a hundred.”
In the eyes of the “simple folk,” forbearance was a sign of weakness.
“Shut up!”
Chen Jie shouted angrily at the wailing Lu Qinsi, who continued to wail despite his command. Not one to be polite, he kicked her twice more. This time, Lu Qinsi didn’t dare scream anymore and slowly struggled to her feet, shooting a venomous look at Chen Jie.
But after receiving a fierce glare from Chen Jie, she quickly mellowed.
At this point, Chen Jie pointed at Lu Qinsi and said, “If I ever see you bully my wife again, I’ll fucking kill you, get lost!”
Hearing his words, everyone couldn’t believe their eyes. The events had unfolded so suddenly; from Chen Jie slapping Lu Qinsi to the flurry of punches and kicks that sent shivers down their spines. When had that pathetic Chen Jiu Si ever become so formidable?
Su Yunjin also couldn’t believe it because she heard him standing up for her.
“If I ever see you bully my wife again, I’ll fucking kill you!”
Though it was crude, it sounded like heavenly music to Su Yunjin’s ears, more moving than the most beautiful poems in the world.
He actually spoke up for her!
How could this be possible!
Stunned, Su Yunjin gazed at his retreating figure, feeling, for some reason, that he seemed quite handsome today.
Lu Qinsi pushed through the crowd and awkwardly ran out. Once outside, she turned back and cursed at Chen Jie, “Chen Jiusi, you beast, picking on a woman, what skill is that? Just you wait, when Lu San gets back tonight, he’ll break your legs, you son of a bitch…”
Hearing this, Chen Jie handed the rabbit to Su Yunjin, grabbed a wooden stick at the door and chased out, “Say that again, I dare you.”
Seeing Chen Jie coming after her, Lu Qinsi broke into a sprint, this time too scared to talk back, and disappeared into thin air.
Standing in the doorway with the stick, Chen Jie addressed the neighbors who had come to watch the commotion, “Alright, folks, the show’s over, go on home.”
The group of neighbors, upon hearing this, quickly dispersed in pairs and small groups, whispering amongst themselves but looking at Chen Jie with a newfound respect.
