Chapter 193: Extremely Shameless
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Ji Huai, who was lying on the ground, looked away guiltily. He immediately got up from the ground and was about to leave when Ji Zhao blocked his way.
“What are you doing?” Ji Huai stared into her eyes vigilantly and swallowed nervously. His long and narrow peach blossom eyes flickered with a fierce light.
“You and Madam Pan Wu have to explain to everyone that the Earth Temple is not haunted at all. This is all a rumor that you deliberately spread.” Ji Zhao looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice.
“Why should I listen to you?” Ji Huai straightened his neck and sneered.
“Previously, on account that we have the same surname, I tolerated you a lot.” Ji Zhao cracked her fingers as he slowly approached him. Her expression became even more serious. “Since you refuse to take the easy route, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
“What do you want to do?” Looking at Ji Zhao who was approaching step by step, Ji Huai felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. He subconsciously retreated, but he was forced to the corner of the wall and had nowhere to escape.
In the silent snowy night, an ear-piercing scream suddenly sounded!
Ji Huai held his head and cried bitterly, “What exactly do you want to do?”
Ji Zhao did not say anything. Instead, she tore off his outer robe and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, she quickly tied up his hands and feet before clapping her hands in satisfaction.
Ji Huai screamed in pain as he watched her walk away!
The next day, in Pomegranate Village.
When Madam Pan Wu, who was hiding in the back room, heard the news of Ji Huai’s disappearance, her heart sank!
They had clearly agreed yesterday that they would go to Shanghe Village to cause trouble again today and use the fact that the Earth Temple was haunted to extort a sum of money from Ji Zhao.
Now that Ji Huai was missing, what should they do with the plan they had discussed beforehand?
“Is the news true?” Ji Shi, the village chief of Pomegranate Village, confirmed again. “Did you really see that Ji Ah Tao hit Ji Huai and threw him into the river?”
“Yes! It’S absolutely true!” Aunt Guihua patted her chest with a firm expression.
In short, she had to complete the task given by Lanhua. As long as the news of Ji Huai’s disappearance reached Pomegranate Village, Lanhua would get Ah Tao to teach her how to make boiled mutton!
Her man loved mutton the most. Unfortunately, the mutton she made always had a pungent smell.
“I say, Village Chief Ji, it’S fine if you don’t believe me.” Auntie Guihua pursed
her lips and said, “Besides, I came back today to see my father and mother. I’m not the kind of woman who gossips. I’ll leave first.”
“Guihua, wait a minute!” Ji Shi took a puff of his pipe and narrowed his shrewd eyes. He confirmed again, “You’re also a girl who came from our Pomegranate Village. No matter what, you watched Ji Huai grow up!”
“Village Chief, look at what you’re saying. If not for the fact that everyone’s surname is Ji, would I have come to tell you this news?” Aunt Guihua sighed aggrievedly. “Now that Ah Tao has hooked up with a big shot in the city, the Shen family is not something we can afford to offend!”
“Village Chief, I’ll go back first. I still have a pile of things to do at home!” Aunt Guihua waved her hand and turned to leave.
When she returned to Shanghe Village, it was almost noon.
She thought for a moment and knocked on the Shen family’s door with a smile.
At that moment, Ji Zhao was making boiled mutton in the kitchen while Zhao Lanhua was helping out.
“Anyway, I’ve already brought the message back according to your wishes.” Aunt Guihua took the bowl of mutton soup from Ji Zhao and drank it in one gulp. “It’s too cold outside. It feels too comfortable to drink a bowl of warm mutton soup.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Guihua.” After Ji Zhao exchanged glances with her mother-in-law, she smiled gratefully and said, “Coincidentally, we bought a lot of mutton these two days. Aunt, how about you bring a bowl back to try later?”
“How… how can I accept this?” Auntie Guihua quickly waved her hand.
“Alright, just carry it.” Zhao Lanhua stuffed the bowl of mutton into her arms without any explanation. “It’S such a cold day. It must have been hard on you to make this trip.”
“Look at what you’re saying. You’re treating me like an outsider! It just so happens that I’m sending some mutton to my father and mother. Isn’t this just a convenient matter?” Auntie Guihua said happily. Then, she looked at Ji Zhao curiously. “Ah Tao, why did you make me say those words in front of Village Chief Ji?”
“You will know soon.” Ji Zhao revealed a mysterious smile and continued to deal with the mutton in her hand.
As expected, after the Shen family had lunch, Ji Shi led a group of people to Shanghe Village and asked to see Ji Zhao.
Zhao Lanhua followed Ji Zhao’s instructions and pretended to stop him. In the end, she pretended to accidentally spill the beans. “Ah Tao went to the Earth Temple…”
“No, Ah Tao went to the county city! Really!” Zhao Lanhua covered her mouth in pretended panic and argued anxiously.
Looking at her expression, Ji Shi believed what Guihua said even more.
Half an hour ago, Ji Zhao had been lurking around the Earth Temple, waiting for her prey.
When she saw Madam Pan Wu sneaking over alone, she rushed forward and knocked her out.
Immediately after, Ji Zhao pulled her into the temple and placed her beside Ji Huai.
“Please forgive me, Earth God!”
After helping the two of them set up some discordant postures, Ji Zhao hurriedly knelt in front of the statue of the local god and kowtowed three times to apologize. Then, she covered the statue of the local god with the red silk cloth she had brought from home.
Countless hurried footsteps came from afar. Ji Zhao took a few deep breaths, then retreated to the entrance of the Earth Temple and shouted loudly!
When the group of people led by Ji Shi heard the exclamation, they rushed forward. When he saw the scene of Ji Huai and the Madam Pan Wu hugging, he was instantly furious. He quickly rushed forward and picked Ji Huai up from the ground!
Pah!
Ji Huai, who had just woken up, did not expect to receive a loud slap the moment he opened his eyes!
More importantly, that slap had knocked out another tooth!
“What a shameless adulterer!”
When he saw the person who had hit him, Ji Huai was furious. He slapped him back without showing any weakness. “Who do you think you are? How dare you hit me?”
“You… you guys…” Madam Pan Wu was completely dumbfounded when she woke up.
Because the two men who were fighting were her lovers..
