The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 163 - 162: Come to Me If You Don’t Understand
Liu Xiqing and Chen Yan, truly a mother-and-daughter-in-law pair. They were using the exact same playbook.
The little old lady smiled and held out her hands. "You’re not leaving without giving me five yuan."
Gu Jiaojiao had previously scammed her daughter-in-law out of two yuan and even hit her grandson. She wasn’t about to let that slide.
Hmph!
’That’ll teach you to be so arrogant.’ The little old lady was inwardly gloating.
She had actually gone along that morning when they went to settle scores with Gu Jiaojiao.
She had just arrived a little late.
The moment she walked in, she saw Gu Jiaojiao standing in the courtyard with a sharp knife.
At the time, she’d felt that since she was getting on in years, it was better to let the younger generation handle it.
So she’d covered her face, squeezed to the back of the crowd, and made sure not to be seen.
But she hadn’t missed a single moment of the lively spectacle.
Now, Gu Jiaojiao had come out by herself, without that sharp knife.
The old lady’s performance was as reliable as ever.
Gu Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow and counted on her fingers.
Then, she pulled a ten-yuan note from her pocket.
"Aunt Liu, I’ll give you ten."
Liu Xiqing’s eyes widened. "What?"
’She’s giving me ten yuan?’
’Did I hear that right?’
It wasn’t just Liu Xiqing; even the onlookers were stunned.
’Is that Gu Zhiqing out of her mind?’
’The woman asks for five, and she offers ten.’
Someone got so excited that the words just slipped out.
She only realized what she’d said after the fact and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
’I’ve heard a lot of gossip, but I’ve never seen anything this weird. I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m not being a very good bystander.’
Gu Jiaojiao glanced around and spotted a large rock under a tree.
"Auntie, this is where you don’t understand. I have a strange quirk when it comes to spending money. I don’t do it to make myself happy; I have to make the person receiving the money happy."
The crowd: ...
’What kind of idiotic bullshit is that!?’
Then, the crowd watched as Gu Jiaojiao lifted a rock weighing a good ten pounds and walked over to Liu Xiqing.
The little old lady’s face immediately filled with alarm.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Jiaojiao gave a goofy grin. "Grandma Liu, didn’t you just ask me to hit you? I’m just doing as you asked!"
The little old lady backed away.
"Who told you to hit anyone? Put that down!"
’These old bones of mine couldn’t take a hit from such a heavy rock.’
’I’d be sent to meet The Buddha.’
Gu Jiaojiao said in a soothing voice, "Didn’t you just accuse me of hitting people and demand I pay for it? Well, I’m someone who loves to do good deeds. Since you’ve already said it, how could I not oblige?"
"Don’t be afraid, Aunt Liu. It’ll just be one quick tap. I’ll break one of your legs, and then I’ll send you to the hospital. Forget ten yuan—even if it’s a hundred, I’ll pay."
"Just try not to move when I swing. It would be bad if I missed and hit you in the head instead."
With that, she lifted the rock and swung it toward the little old lady’s legs.
The little old lady was scared stiff. She never expected that this simpleton, Gu Jiaojiao, would actually do it.
She instantly dropped and rolled, scrambled to her feet, and without a moment’s hesitation, took off running like the wind.
Gu Jiaojiao’s rock slammed into the ground.
Judging by the dull thud, if that had landed on a person, it wouldn’t have just broken a bone—it would have shattered it.
The faces of the onlookers tightened.
Gu Jiaojiao seemed a little disappointed that she hadn’t hit her target.
But she didn’t give chase.
’Oh well, she ran off.’
’There are still other people here, aren’t there?’
She turned and beamed at the crowd.
"Well, Aunties, was that fun to watch?"
The crowd: ...
Heh heh...!!!
"Gu Zhiqing, uh, I just remembered I have something to do at home, so I’ll be going now."
"Yes, yes, me too. I have things to do at home."
One by one, the crowd started making excuses to leave.
But Gu Jiaojiao stopped them. "Aunties, don’t be in such a rush. It’s still early. We can chat for a while longer."
"No, no, it’s not early at all! It’s time to make lunch."
"That’s right! And our chickens need feeding."
Gu Jiaojiao nodded in understanding. "Oh, is that so? What a shame."
"But we’re all from the Qingshan Team, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I’m really looking forward to chatting with you all again. When it comes to my husband’s affairs, I know more than anyone. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can just come and ask me. Don’t be strangers."
The crowd gave a hollow laugh.
’After seeing that display, you think we’d dare come looking for you?’
’We’re terrified, absolutely terrified!’
’How is Leng Yuan’s wife so fierce?’
’When she gets into a fight, she’s absolutely reckless!’
