Chapter 103
Is Ultraman OK? (2)
Xiaoman expressed her concern, “Uncle, will Grandma beat us? She treasures this stone lion very much.”
She wouldn’t even allow her to ride it.
Jiang Xing had no sense of crisis at all, unaware of the beatings he was going to face. He said, “Don’t worry. Even if she’s going to hit someone, she’s just going to hit me. She won’t hit you.”
“Oh.” Jiang Xiaoman wanted to say, “Uncle, you take the vanguard, ok?” but she felt that uncle was very miserable after thinking about it. After coming home from being away for so long, he was going to be beaten. If he ran away after being beaten by Grandma, how could Xiiaoman find him?
Jiang Xiaoman said with a worried face, taking Jiang Xing’s hand, “Uncle, later if Grandma hits you, hide behind me. I’ll block her for you!”
Jiang Xing gave an ambiguous smile, “Don’t worry. I haven’t been home for so long. Even if she’s angry, she won’t hit me. Right now, she loves me very much. She’ll start despising me again tomorrow, but by then, I’ll be gone and she can’t hit me.”
“Oh, that’s good then.” Adults always have so many weird excuses. Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t understand them.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xing really overestimated his status.
He hadn’t come home for so long. At first, Jiang Xiumei was very happy. She called his name and talked about him all the time. Of course, she would be happy when her son came home.
But, holy shit! He actually brought the stone lion from back in the village
Jiang Xiumei was superstitious and cared about Feng Shui very much.
The old stonemason was well known in the area, and he had very good craftsmanship. It was said with one of his lions, even if the descendants were hit with bloody misfortune for three generations, their ancestors would still protect them. Back then, Jiang Xiumei put a lot of effort into getting one of those statues, but in the end, her turtle of a son actually pried it out!
Even if they had moved to the city, the house in the village was their ancestral house! How could it be tampered with?
Jiang Xiumei’s fist hardened.
She almost wanted to punch someone.
But Jiang Xing pretended to be pitiful and begged for mercy. Jiang Xiumei’s temper finally died down. She had to remind herself a few times that he was her own son. Only then could she finally suppress her anger.
He thought that the incident would end like that.
Who would’ve thought that the more Jiang Xiumei thought about it, the angrier she became? The love and affection she had for her son did not last past a single mealtime. During dinner, she angrily slammed the chopsticks and beat him up.
A mother’s love is so fleeting.
Jiang Xing didn’t dare to stay anymore and wanted to run away that very night.
“Mom, don’t beat me up anymore. I still have serious business to do! If you cripple me, what should I do if I can’t beat that Hong Xingguo father and son pair later?”
When he mentioned Hong Xingguo and his son, Jiang Xiumei stopped beating him.
She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “What the hell is going on? Are they making trouble again?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Xing said, “They are shameless. They’re finally being released after being detained last time. Those lazy bums only know how to sleep and e. Allll they’re doing is trying to take advantage of people.”
“Get to the point!!!”
“They still want to blackmail our family, but fortunately, I am smart and intelligent. I already told the neighbors that we have severed all relationships with them. They couldn’t find us, so they angrily went to the mine to look for me to cause trouble. They didn’t expect me to not be there. They were considered as troublemakers instead and got beaten up.”
The people from the logistics team came to inform Jiang Xing, and he ran back to deal with it.
Of course, it wasn’t to defend the two relatives he had already broken off with. Instead, it was to confirm that they really had nothing to do with each other anymore, so his brothers from the logistics team could start beating them up again, even harder and more viciously.
Hong Xingguo and his son were very angry and made a scene again at the mine, hitting a miner worker until he was injured and causing a dispute. That’s why it took days to sort things out. What a waste of time.
