Chapter 170 Ancestors’ blessing?
Chapter 170 Ancestors’ blessing?
He smiled, showing his big white teeth, and said, "I am a woman, Li Qianjin, haven't you heard that only women and villains are difficult to raise?
You are talking about a gentleman here, you are really like an old lady entering the bed."
"Oh, I was about to stop, but once you persuaded me, I wanted to throw a few more punches."
After saying that, he went to beat An Xiaocui a few more times, and said in a stern tone: "Xiaocui, if you want to blame the beating you received in the end, blame Li Qianjin for meddling in your business, hehe~"
Li Qianjin was so angry at her actions that he dared not say a word. He could only stare at An Xueyan from the side.
After An Xiaocui was finally released, she got up and ran away in a panic, fearing that the men would catch her and continue beating her.
An Xueyan touched her chin and asked her cousin: "Why is she running so fast? I don't eat people~"
He also shouted: "An Xiaocui, run slower or you will fall..."
But after she shouted, An Xiaocui ran even faster.
"Hahaha……"
The girls in the An family laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs. The fight was so interesting.
But Li Qianjin spoke up quietly to defend the injustice.
"Don't you feel ashamed? You can still smile so happily. She's already having a hard time, and you're still bullying her like this. Do you have any sympathy left?"
An Qiuxiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's none of your business, Li Qianjin. Do you want to get beaten up? How dare you meddle in my business?"
She sounded like a little gangster the moment she opened her mouth, but she did have the capital to do so. Now she had her brother and cousin in the brigade, and they were the boss among the kids between the ages of 5 and 15 in the brigade.
Plus, she's usually a hot temper, unlike An Xueyan who appears to be a good girl. She'll start scolding anyone she doesn't like.
"I just can't stand your behavior. You are no different from the bandits and bullies in the past." Li Qian's face flushed with anger.
But after he finished speaking, An Qiuxiang and the others looked at him with strange eyes.
He was so frightened that he asked nervously, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth."
An Qiuxiang curled her lips and sneered, "How dare you criticize me now? You used to go around the village snatching snacks and candies from other children. You were the bandit and bully, weren't you? I've never done anything so shameless."
Although she had never been robbed, she had heard Ermao and the others complain about the things this man had done in the past, and even now, Ermao and Wangzai and the others still disliked this guy.
An Xueyan explained to the others: "He has double standards. He is strict with others but lenient with himself. This is the kind of person he is."
There were other older children present who had also been robbed before.
So I said, “Yes, he used to steal the candy my grandma gave me.”
"He even brought people to steal my eggs. He's such a bad guy."
"He also threatened me not to tell the adults."
When everyone reminded him of his past deeds, Li Qianjin's face flushed red and he said, "I now know I was wrong and I have corrected it," then he ran away in shame.
An Qiuxiang complained to her best friend, "This guy is really bored and comes here to seek attention. He's crazy."
"This kind of people just want to be heroes and save the damsel in distress. We also have people like this in our school who appear to be righteous on the surface but are so hypocritical trying to make a name for themselves everywhere." An Liping said angrily.
An Xueyan felt that there was something behind her tone. She hooked her arm around An Liping's shoulder and said, "Oh, you've become one of the victims. Tell your sisters what kind of idiot you encountered."
An Liping felt a little embarrassed after being seen through. She whispered, "Oh, I'll tell you when we get back."
How could she say it out loud with so many people outside? She still had to save some face.
A group of girls played happily until it was almost time for lunch before going back.
When An Qiuxiang returned home, she chattered to her brothers about the beating she had given An Xiaocui.
An Honglei was relieved after confirming that they were not injured. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Qianjin actually dared to come out again. He must be tired of living, right? It seems that I haven't relaxed his muscles enough recently."
"I guess this guy likes to stand up for the weak and doesn't even remember his own weight. Brother, go teach him a lesson after the New Year." An Xueyan fanned the flames and instigated him without mercy.
No one knew what was wrong with Li Qianjin. They had previously failed to put An Honglei in a sack outside and got beaten up.
Later, he used some dirty tricks to try to sneak attack them, which finally angered An Honglei, who beat up those people a few days later.
In the end, his followers stopped playing with him for fear of getting beaten again. Although Li Qianjin watched An Honglei walk around, he always liked to mutter behind his back about how overbearing An Honglei and his sister were.
I guess it's because he has been busy with the college entrance examination in the past six months, and he has become arrogant again recently.
The adults in the An family also heard what An Xueyan said, but they pretended not to hear and continued talking. After all, their children were sensible and would only take action when they were right.
On the other side, when An Xiaocui returned home crying, she was greeted by her mother's accusations and a big broom.
"You damned girl, you still remember to come back? I asked you to take your brother out to play, but you ran off to fight with others, leaving your brother to come back alone. I'll beat you up today..."
After being beaten, An Xiaocui had to deal with her own mother again. She ran while crying, and her younger brother was fanning the flames.
How did her mother know? Wasn't it her brother who came back to complain? When he saw her and An Xueyan and the others fighting, he decisively walked away, for fear that others would notice him and fight together.
In the end, her stepfather was annoyed by her crying and came out to stop her from escaping, but he had no intention of seeking justice for her from the An family.
The An family had a simple lunch, and the main course was in the evening, so they would save their stomachs for a better meal.
In the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner was finally ready. The table was filled with rich dishes, exuding an enticing aroma.
The whole family gathered together, and Grandpa An was particularly happy this year because so many people in the family went to college this year.
"I have already burned paper for our ancestors, thanking them for blessing our children with success. It is all the ancestors' influence.
When you go to university, study hard and don’t forget your duties as human beings. Don’t do anything that will bring shame to the An family ancestors, otherwise they will be angry…”
Grandpa An's words were particularly different this year. The word "ancestors" was always on his lips, and the team leader was nodding as he listened.
Grandpa An was so happy that he kept talking to himself for seven or eight minutes. If his grandmother hadn't reminded him that the food was getting cold, he would probably have continued.
As soon as the meal was announced, everyone started to eat the meat dishes they liked. An Xueyan's first choice was her braised spare ribs. She took a satisfied bite. This was her aunt's cooking, which was becoming more and more exquisite.
The men in the family drank and talked about things outside, the women happily ate and chatted about gossip, and the children were busy eating. They were enjoying dinner happily and the table was full of laughter.
