Chapter 26
She Did It Herself
Was it possible to let the present Zhao Chuchu teach Xie Jun Kung Fu?
He returned to the Xie house while he thought about it.
When he pushed the door open, a cold and quiet feeling came over him.
Nobody was home for half a month, so everything in the house was covered with dust.
Zhao Chuchu turned her head and asked, “Where is Junjun?”
“He’s at Uncle Chen’s house. When Li Jiang came to pick me up, I sent Junjun over and asked the Chen family to take care of him for me. Please go there and bring him back,” Xie Heng said.
Zhao Chuchu nodded.
When they got back to Lengshui Village, Xie Heng was still blind, so it made sense that she was asked to go there and get Junjun.
When the Zhao clan members made a scene, everyone in the village knew that Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng had come back home.
With the memory of the original owner in her mind, Zhao Chuchu walked toward the Chen family’s home. Madam Yu, the old woman of the Chen family, was walking with Xie Jun toward the house of the Xie family when the memory was only halfway over.
When Xie Jun saw Zhao Chuchu from far away, he called her “sister-in-law.” Even though he was weak, his eyes were sharp.
Zhao Chuchu walked up to Madam Yu and said with a smile, “Thank you, Granny, for taking care of Junjun when he was sick. I apologize for bothering you.”
Madam Yu quickly moved her hands and said, “What do you want to thank us for? We haven’t yet said thank you. We would have all been burned to death if you hadn’t saved us. Now that the plague is over, we can go on with our lives.”
“I’m just lucky,” said Zhao Chuchu. “Have you been listening to Granny?” she asked as she pulled Xie Jun over.
“Yes, I have,” Xie Jun replied nervously. His sister-in-law had never talked to him like this before. She was being so gentle.
Zhao Chuchu patted his head.
Xie Jun was stunned.
Madam Yu looked at Xie Jun and said with a smile, “Junjun is very well behaved. I got a headache seeing those naughty children in our family. If only they could be like Junjun.”
Zhao Chuchu smiled but said nothing.
People might say that their grandchildren were bad, but they didn’t like it when others said so.
“Granny, we have to go back home. We will thank you later.”
“Don’t be so polite.”
As soon as Madam Yu said that, she gave Zhao Chuchu the basket she was holding. “You don’t have any vegetables in your garden. These are home-grown and not worth much. You take them,” said she.
Having experienced the end of the world, Zhao Chuchu had a special fondness for these kinds of natural and pollution-free vegetables.
“Thank you, Aunt. I’ll accept it shamelessly. We are leaving now.”
“Go to the vegetable garden to pick more up if you like it. We can’t eat all these vegetables.”
“Okay.”
After saying goodbye to Madam Yu, Zhao Chuchu returned home with a basket of vegetables.
“Brother!” Xie Jun was so happy to see Xie Heng. “You guys are back at last. I was so worried about you.”
Xie Heng asked with a smile, “What are you worried about?”
“People of the Zhao family always told me that you were cheating people out of money and have been killed by the imperial court.”
“Don’t pay attention to the people of the Zhao family in the future.”
Zhao Chuchu spoke first before Xie Heng could open his mouth.
“I just beat them up today. Stay away from them in the future. You tell me if they come to you like the assholes. I’ll teach them a lesson.”
When Xie Jun heard her, he opened his mouth wide for a long time without saying a word.
If he remembered correctly, his sister-in-law had always been scolded by the Zhao family. Even if she married into their family, she still could not escape from them.
Now, she actually hit someone from the Zhao family?
“Sister-in-law, did I hear you wrong?”
“No, it’s all true.”
Xie Jun was a lovely child.
The first owner was nice to Xie Jun, but he never spoke to him.
Thus, Zhao Chuchu had a good impression of Xie Jun.
“Did the soldiers help her?” asked Xie Jun. That was the only explanation he could think of.
Xie Heng shook his head and said, “No, she did it herself.”
He had witnessed Zhao Chuchu kick Madam Ma away.
