Chapter 159: Chapter 159: This Could Get Someone Killed!

When Xu Manman lunged forward, Jiang Xingye first pulled Xu Qinghuan into his arms, thinking Xu Manman was about to attack Xu Qinghuan, a murderous aura filling the air.

Though Xu Manman didn’t dare, this was a perfect moment for her to put on a show of bravery, so she summoned the courage and was about to continue her tirade, when Xu Qinghuan slapped her across the face once more.

“Xu Manman, just because you like eating shit doesn’t mean everyone else likes the smell of it. Get lost! Next time you approach me, I’ll hit you everytime I see you,” Xu Qinghuan said.

Xu Manman covered her cheek and cried, “How can you do this, hitting people at the drop of a hat? Is it wrong for us to care about you? I’ve always treated you like a sister and worried you’d be bullied by some country bumpkin, Chengxu and I have always been watching over you from afar. Even if you don’t appreciate it, how can you treat me like this!”

Jiang Chengxu, seeing Xu Qinghuan raise her hand for another strike, quickly pulled Xu Manman into his arms, “Xu Qinghuan, when has Manman ever done you wrong? Not only do you slander her reputation, but you also hit her. You’re such a shrew!”

Xu Qinghuan, extremely angry, laughed sarcastically, “And who is this country bumpkin you’re talking about? You claim to see me as a sister, yet this is how you insult my fiancé?”

“Sis, you shouldn’t have gotten engaged to a man from the countryside, Chengxu loves you so much, how can you…”

Smack!

Xu Manman’s face was hit, swelling quickly. The pain made half her head buzz, and her eyes shot out a vicious glare, “Xu Qinghuan, have you lost your mind?”

Jiang Chengxu also raised his wrist, about to slap Xu Qinghuan’s face. He never imagined Xu Qinghuan wouldn’t listen to reason, Manman said these things for her own good, as they say, bitter advice is hard to hear but beneficial. But instead, she hit people as if she was addicted to it.

“I’ll let you see how it feels to get slapped!” Jiang Chengxu yelled.

Jiang Xingye reached out to grab his wrist, coldly saying, “Try it and see what happens!”

Jiang Chengxu suddenly felt as if his wrist were about to be crushed, the intense pain turning his face pale, sweat rolling down his forehead, “Jiang Xingye, if you break my arm, I’ll call the police and have you arrested.”

“Xingye!”

Xu Qinghuan gently pulled down Jiang Xingye’s hand, “For two mad dogs, it’s not worth it!”

Jiang Xingye released his grip and stepped back with Xu Qinghuan, fearing Jiang Chengxu might go berserk. His Huanhuan, he cherished her too much to ever let anyone harm her.

But Xu Qinghuan stepped forward, gently patting both on the shoulder, “Scumbags and bitches should stick together tightly, Xu Manman, may all your wishes come true!”

This gesture left Jiang Chengxu and Xu Manman quite baffled.

But the pain on Xu Manman’s cheek seemed to fade, and a sweetness filled her heart as she looked at the man beside her, a surge of joy came over her, “Chengxu, let’s go home!”

“Yeah!” At this moment, Jiang Chengxu had already pushed Xu Qinghuan to the back of his mind. In the moonlight, he looked at Xu Manman, ignoring her swollen cheek, and found her every smile and frown captivating.

Hand in hand, they left, leaving Jiang Xingye quite bewildered.

But he never paid much attention to people who were unimportant, escorting Xu Qinghuan to the door, watching her close it and turn on the light inside before he turned back.

Xu Qinghuan went into her space, took a shower, changed clothes, and noticed it was nearly time to act. Mostly because Jiang Chengxu didn’t have much stamina. Even with her drugs, he couldn’t last long due to his weak fundamentals.

She knocked on Qiao Xinyu’s door, “Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, do you want to see some excitement?”

Although working all day was tiring, Xu Qinghuan added water from her space to the dinner she made, which had miraculous effects on relieving fatigue, easing muscle pain, and enhancing vitality and blood flow.

Qiao Xinyu quickly woke up, jumped up, “Coming, coming!”

Xu Qinghuan called for Qing Xiao to accompany Qiao Xinyu. Qiao Xinyu was thrilled and paused purposely by the wall on the west side of the educated youth point, stopping to listen for a moment, and indeed, the scene inside was intense.

She quickly ran to the back door of the educated youth point and knocked. Someone answered immediately; it was Chen Dewen. Seeing Qiao Xinyu shocked him, “What’s going on, why are you here!”

Qiao Xinyu grabbed Chen Dewen and pulled him to the side of the haystack on the west side, listening to the sounds coming from inside.

He was horribly shocked. Although the girl he liked was right next to him, he didn’t have such thoughts, just feeling it was a bit disgusting for the two people inside engaged in such acts in the wild.

Immediately, Chen Dewen struck a match, tossed it behind the haystack, then ran back into the educated youth point, shouting, “Everyone, get up! The educated youth point is on fire! Don’t sleep!”

Everyone was exhausted after working the whole day, sleeping soundly, but upon hearing there was a fire, they didn’t dare delay, quickly scrambling out of bed.

Every one of them grabbed containers or buckets, rushing to the fire. In the light of the flames, two people clinging to each other turned back with a bewildered look, clearly still not fully returning to their senses from the fierce battle.

“Emma, that’s such an eyesore!” Song Anping, being young, couldn’t take it, dropping a bucket of water on the ground, turning his back, covering his eyes.

“Ah, scandalous behavior!” Chen Dewen shouted out, alarming the whole village.

If he’d shouted “fire,” perhaps not everyone would have been so enthusiastic. But upon hearing about scandalous behavior, every single person, young and old, was up, some of them even losing their shoes, and almost instantly, people crowded the scene.

Xu Manman burrowed into Jiang Chengxu’s arms, clinging to him, her eyes red, ready to cry, yet inside she was jubilant—this was the effect she was after.

But seeing Jiang Chengxu’s displeased face, the regret in his eyes deeply stung Xu Manman’s heart. Though she was upset, she understood this was not the time to make a fuss. Crying, she said,

“I don’t know, I don’t know anything. I was just talking to my sister earlier, and how did I end up here? Boohoo, Chengxu, I’m sorry, I really don’t know what’s going on.”

Qiao Xinyu snapped angrily, “Blaming Huanhuan for everything, even when you’ve done something so disgraceful, dragging others into it. I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.”

Jiang Chengxu pushed Xu Manman away, hurriedly putting on his pants. He wanted to settle the score with Xu Qinghuan, but looked around, not seeing her.

Jiang Baohua came over, feeling drained, “What’s going on? What now? Isn’t it exhausting enough doing work all day? Don’t you tire?”

After working half the day, he was already tired, rested a bit at noon, rejuvenated in the afternoon, but even then the afternoon wasn’t easy either.

“Captain, these two are having an illicit affair, should we send them to the commune?” How could Chen Dewen pass up such an opportunity to kick someone when they’re down? He pointed at the two, “They didn’t even have their pants on when we arrived.”

“Wasn’t there a fire? How did it become.. Oh dear, what were you doing? You female youths, can’t you learn something good from Xu Qinghuan, rather than this?”

Jiang Baohua slapped his thigh, “If you were in a proper relationship, engaged or married, who could say anything? But you had to cause such a fuss—this could end in tragedy!”
