Chapter 2290 Naked Threat
Now the news has spread throughout the courtyard that Yan Bugui and his buddy beat up the man, and everyone is laughing at the old man. Especially Jia Zhangshi, that woman, who naturally doesn't want the miser to get what she can't have herself.
At this time, Jia Zhangshi was preparing dinner for the little monkey. When she realized that Yan Bugui's attempt to extort money was hopeless, she immediately started singing. She couldn't have been happier…
However, Jia Zhangshi's singing had a significant impact, especially on the little monkey lying on the kang (heated brick bed). The boy, unaware of the reason, thought Jia Zhangshi was making fun of him.
The bird is safe now! But it's no good if we can't get excited! Plus, Jia Zhangshi has been teasing the young man all the time these past few days, so now the little monkey thinks everyone who laughs is laughing at him.
"Jia Zhangshi, what are you singing? Do you know how sad we are? Don't you have any sympathy? Do you still want to eat chicken?"
Jia Zhangshi thought to herself, "What does your discomfort have to do with me? I didn't laugh at you. You're in pain, but you can't even make me happy!"
"Alright, alright, don't get so worked up. Fine, I won't sing anymore. How have you been feeling these past few days? Did you feel more energetic after eating chicken? How about we stew another one tomorrow?"
The little monkey got angry just thinking about the chicken from a few days ago. He barely ate any of it; Qiangzi and Jia Zhangshi, that couple, devoured it all. And now they're trying to screw him over again.
"I won't eat, it's completely useless. Is it for me or for you two to nourish me? Do I look like an idiot?"
Madam Jia thought to herself, "With your limited abilities, you're practically a fool in this courtyard." But this woman only thought it to herself and wouldn't actually say it aloud.
If the young man's plan succeeds this time, Jia Zhangshi will definitely admire him.
In the neighboring courtyard, Jia Zhangshi was still patiently persuading the young man to buy meat...
Zhou Xiaobai has gone to the Lin family's house again, wanting to confirm whether Lin Chen would be going out that night, or what time he would be back...
"Brother Lin Chen, tell Xiao Zhendong that our debts are settled! Don't run away when you see me, okay? It's like I'm some kind of fierce person. I was just trying to scare him that day. Don't make it sound like I'm so short-tempered. I'm actually very easy to talk to."
Lin Chen thought, "I'd ride a wild horse if I wanted to, so why should I bother with something as simple as a little firecracker like you? Let me see you get a little hot-tempered..."
"He went to find your sister-in-law Huairu, so he won't be back tonight. He probably ran away when he saw you. He just got back and was making a fuss about having Aunt Wang see him off."
It was clearly Lin Chen who arranged for Aunt Wang to take Xiao Zhendong away, but now it's Xiao Zhendong who's been scared away by Zhou Xiaobai.
The young girl was secretly delighted; she hadn't expected things to turn out so well by accident! So, does that mean Lin Chen would be home alone tonight?
"I see. When will you start teaching me kung fu, Brother Lin Chen, as you mentioned last time? And there's something else, Dongmei asked me to ask her about it."
Hao Dongmei is still helping with cooking next door, and Zhou Xiaobai is using his best friend as a shield!
However, Lin Chen had already seen through her little scheme, but he just didn't expose her.
"There's no rush in learning kung fu. It's not something you can learn in a day or two. Take it slow! Dongmei asked you to ask her something, so just say it directly. Why are you being so hesitant with your brother Lin Chen?"
After glancing towards the door, Zhou Xiaobai suddenly stood up and walked to the other side of the table. The little girl leaned down mysteriously and whispered something in Lin Chen's ear.
"Dongmei also wants your help to improve her malnutrition, but she's too embarrassed to say it. Brother Lin Chen, could you please take a look at her?"
Hearing the other person say "take a look," Lin Chen slowly turned his head to look at them. Zhou Xiaobai didn't straighten up, and the two of them stood close together, their eyes meeting.
"Is it her who wants it, or is it you who wants it? I've realized you're not as good as her. Shouldn't you be the one getting treatment?"
Being stared at by his older brother, Zhou Xiaobai felt his heart pounding in his throat.
"I...I'm not in a hurry...It's definitely her! I'm not in a rush, Brother Lin Chen, could you please take a look for her?"
As Zhou Xiaobai spoke, she actually grabbed Lin Chen's arm and shook it, clearly using the same tactics she used to coax her parents.
Lin Chen isn't her parent, so her acting like this is very dangerous. It's like a little lamb rubbing against a big bad wolf—perilous...
"I can't agree to this. Your sister-in-law won't let me see a gynecologist. Everyone knows this, so you should go to the hospital for a checkup!"
Zhou Xiaobai thought, "Go ahead and try to fool me! Your sister-in-law won't let you see, so why are you helping Li Wenya get treatment?"
Last night, Li Wenya was taken to the Zhou family's residence in the naval compound for the second time, where she told them about the treatment and examinations.
After a day and a night of internal struggle, Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei finally made up their minds to seek medical help at the doctor's home.
Unfortunately, I ran into Luo Yun and the others at school again at noon. They walked past Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei with their heads held high and chests puffed out... without even saying hello!
Furthermore, Li Yuanchao told Luo Yun and the others that Zhou Xiaobai had betrayed the naval compound. No one was allowed to play with them anymore…
The reason Li Yuanchao said this wasn't because he knew Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei's little secret. Rather, it was because the mother and daughter now knew that Zhou Zhennan had taken over the Li family's position in Qingdao, so Li Yuanchao believed Zhou Xiaobai had betrayed them!
After an afternoon of subtle encouragement from Li Wenya, the two girls finally came back to the courtyard house to find a solution.
"No, no! Sister-in-law Huairu isn't home. If we don't tell, who will know? Besides, one shouldn't avoid seeking medical help when in trouble!"
Lin Chen waved his hand again, disagreeing with the other party's sweet talk.
Seeing that the other party still refused to help, Zhou Xiaobai got impatient! She realized that pleading wasn't working, so she decided to try a firmer approach… after all, if soft tactics didn't work, she'd have to try hard ones!
"Brother Lin Chen, are you really not going to help us? If you're going to do this, Dongmei and I will have to go on a diet! We'll only eat two meals a day, no, no, just one. What will we tell our parents when they come back and find us so thin?"
The threat was blatant, outright.
Lin Chen put down his teacup as he watched the smug little girl.
Are you in such a hurry?
Seeing that his brother Lin Chen had finally relented, Zhou Xiaobai thought to himself that this tactic had indeed worked.
"I'm so anxious! I'm really anxious. You have no idea how smug Luo Yun and the others were today. It wasn't so noticeable in winter, but now that it's summer, you really don't realize how small they are until you compare them. It's like they've shrunk a whole size! Isn't that infuriating?!"
Lin Chen thought to himself, "You guys are really something. Instead of comparing who's better at studying, you're comparing this. Well, well, well, people from your compound really know how to have fun."
"Alright! I'll help you, okay? From now on, you need to eat properly. I don't want your parents causing me trouble. Come over after dinner!"
Zhou Xiaobai was so happy that he almost jumped for joy after the successful negotiation. After saying thank you, he turned around and ran back next door to report.
She hops and skips like a little white rabbit...
