Chapter 312: Intimidation From The Little Cuties
Jiang Chusheng looked at Du Wanqing, somewhat hesitantly asking: “I’ll get all the money back?”
Du Wanqing leaned against him, saying softly: “Chusheng, I knew you were the best when I was at school. This is just a small matter. Besides, Wei Xia has such deep feelings for you. If you coax her nicely, she might even give you her life. For our happy future, for the baby in my belly, Chusheng, can you put up with it for a bit?”
Jiang Chusheng’s eyes widened upon hearing this, looking incredulously at her belly, his voice trembling as he asked: “Wanqing, you… you… you’re pregnant?”
Du Wanqing quickly pulled him back, saying a bit shyly: “Shh, keep your voice down, don’t let anyone hear. After all, it’s too soon, I’m not certain, but it’s probably the case.”
Jiang Chusheng was overjoyed. He said: “I’ll go when it’s dark, otherwise if the neighbors see, they might gossip.”
Du Wanqing’s face darkened: “But if you go when it’s dark and someone finds out, it’ll be even harder to explain. What if that Wei Xia uses it to cling to you?”
“Then when do you think is the right time to go?”
Du Wanqing: “Go now, while it’s still light. Pretend to visit the child, then coax Wei Xia and get the money back, so we can repay the debt tomorrow.”
Jiang Chusheng nodded, untied his apron, put on outerwear, and quickly walked outside.
Annoyance flashed in Du Wanqing’s eyes. These people were too nosy.
Especially those cadres from Xiangyang Neighborhood Committee, who really thought they were something.
But she had no method for now, so she could only hatefully punch the bedding.
When Jiang Chusheng arrived at Wei Xia’s home, the main door was closed, so Jiang Chusheng could only knock.
Hua Hua and Old Black Cat were squatting on top of the wall. It and Old Black Cat exchanged a glance, then had Big Sparrow notify little master. It and Old Black Cat said: 【Old Black, little master said not to let Jiang Chusheng into the courtyard.】
Old Black Cat: 【What do you say we do? I’ll follow your lead.】
Hua Hua got excited: 【We’ll pounce on him, but don’t hurt him, in case he recognizes us and goes to trouble little master.】
【Yeah, then we’ll shout one two three and act together. Be the fastest, make him think we’re ghost shadows, then he’ll scream aaaah in fear, and the neighbors will hear.】
Hua Hua looked at Old Black Cat in surprise: 【Good good good, that’s a great method. Jiang Chusheng might not fear cats, but he definitely fears ghosts, even if it’s not night, it’ll scare him.】
Meanwhile, Big Sparrow had already told Lu Qiaoge. Lu Qiaoge was at home tutoring Qiao Ling, and Su Hui was also sitting nearby listening attentively.
Then they heard Big Sparrow’s chirping voice.
Lu Family members didn’t pay attention, after all, sparrows call like that.
After Lu Qiaoge listened, she thought for a moment, then said to Meng Xia: “Mom, it’s not dark yet. I’ll go check on Wei Xia’s home.”
Lu Qiaoge hadn’t mentioned Wei Xia’s matter when she returned, but Meng Xia still found out. There was no need to hide it, so Lu Qiaoge simply told them.
The women were very empathetic, so they sat together cursing for a while.
Now Meng Xia heard her daughter wanted to go to Wei Xia’s home. Though not too willing, she still said: “It’s getting dark. If you want to go, have your older brother take you.”
Lu Qiaoge wanted to cheat.
At her speed, it’d be instant, but there were still pedestrians on the road, and quite a few people gathered under the big tree outside or in empty places chatting.
Lu Qiaoge said: “Alright then, big brother, come with me. Mom, prepare some vegetables for Wei Xia’s home, anything will do. I’ll go change clothes.”
Lu Zhiguo naturally agreed readily. Meng Xia sighed but quickly packed some vegetables.
They soon went out the door. Lu Zhiguo found his sister rode the bike super fast.
He had wanted to go slow, but now he had to pedal hard to keep up.
Incredibly, they arrived at Wei Xia’s home main door in less than ten minutes.
Unexpectedly, a large crowd had gathered here.
Aunt Han and Wei Xia stood in the courtyard.
Jiang Chusheng, however, stood at the main door, somewhat disheveled, wiping sweat from his forehead, looking very panicked.
Lu Qiaoge was puzzled. What had happened?
She searched around for the calico cat and Old Black Cat’s shadows.
The next moment, she heard Hua Hua, Old Black Cat, Rat Big, and Rat Two excitedly recounting in her mind.
It turns out it was like this:
When Big Sparrow flew back to Lu Family to report, the extremely fast Hua Hua and Old Black Cat pounced toward Jiang Chusheng like ghosts.
So fast that Jiang Chusheng didn’t even know what flew past him.
Anyway, he felt something—one moment yellow, one moment black, but in the blink of an eye, nothing was there.
Once or twice was fine, but over time, anyone would tremble with fear.
The two cats chose good places too.
Behind Wei Xia’s home woodshed and the clutter pile behind Jiang Chusheng.
Once when Hua Hua darted past his eyes, Hua Hua also clawed off the work cap Jiang Chusheng was wearing, and that’s when Jiang Chusheng got scared.
Rat Big and Rat Two also darted about.
The shadows weren’t big, but they made Jiang Chusheng’s heart race even more.
At the time, Wei Xia’s home courtyard door was open, because Aunt Han would come soon.
Besides Qiqi writing homework in the room and Wei Xia doing housework, the other three children were playing in the courtyard.
They saw daddy.
Kids have deep feelings for parents that’s hard to sever. Even if you don’t want them, they won’t stop wanting you.
Just as the youngest child was about to shout daddy, she saw Jiang Chusheng jumping left and right, waving at the air, looking around, shouting aaaah from his mouth, acting very strangely.
Mengmeng quickly hugged her younger brother, not letting him speak. The little girl exhorted: “Don’t shout daddy. He’s not our daddy anymore. He’s a bad guy, the biggest bad guy in the world!”
Even though Jiang Chusheng heard Mengmeng’s words, he was scared by Hua Hua, Old Black Cat, Rat Big, and the others, sweat beading on his forehead. He was looking around in panic, especially in shadowy places. He had no time to scold his daughter.
Wei Xia naturally saw Jiang Chusheng standing outside the door from inside the room.
Qiqi was a smart little girl.
She had been exhorted by Aunt Han. After peeking from the window, she loudly asked: “Mom, is daddy here for the money?”
Wei Xia felt as if struck by lightning.
The crowd quickly gathered. Hua Hua, Old Black Cat, Rat Big, and the others had enough fun with Jiang Chusheng, so they happily hid.
The eerie shadows were gone. Drenched in sweat, pale-faced Jiang Chusheng had sweat on his back too, his mind blank for a moment, not even knowing why he came here.
Only after these people started talking noisily did he fully react.
He looked around in panic, then asked the people around: “You… did you see anything?”
The surrounding people all shook their heads.
A granny said sarcastically: “Oh my, what thing? Probably something shady. Abandoning wife and child, no humanity, isn’t that exactly that kind of thing?”
