Renting a young, attractive woman to take home for the Chinese New Year infuriates the entire villag

"Damn it! He bullied us first, why should you pay for it?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Don't tell me there weren't any cameras back then. Even if there were, I was the one who hit him first, and he was seriously injured. Haven't you ever seen a fight before? Isn't it always the case that whoever injures someone pays the damages?"

"If we're really going to talk about reasoning, everyone can come up with a bunch of fallacies."

Sun Mengjia was so angry that she trembled all over.

"You were a minor back then, so even if you beat him to death, it wouldn't be illegal, okay? You weren't even going to be chosen, so what are you afraid of? If it were me, I would have just killed him."

"Still losing money?"

"I'll pay him back, damn it!"

Jiang Chen's lips twitched.

Wow, you're really ruthless.

But this is nothing more than impotent rage.

"The problem was that ordinary people back then didn't know anything about the Law on the Protection of Minors. They only knew that if they hit someone, they had to pay compensation, and they were afraid of being arrested and having a criminal record."

"To be honest, when I was in school, I believed the teachers when they said that if I broke the rules too many times, it would be written into my file."

Sun Mengjia sighed.

"What criminal record? If it were my dad, he would have thrown me out long ago, or even put me in jail. He could have saved on food expenses for a few years."

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

Seeing Sun Mengjia's low spirits, I didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

He could only pat her on the shoulder and comfort her, saying, "It's okay, it's all in the past. Your dad would never treat you like that."

"Besides, respect the dead. He's still your father, don't torture yourself with the thought of a dead person."

Now it was Sun Mengjia's turn to be stunned.

"No, who said my dad is dead?"

"You said it yourself, didn't you say you had no parents?"

Sun Mengjia rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen: "Damn it! I meant my mom got divorced and remarried and doesn't want me anymore. My dad doesn't care about me at all. All he does is play mahjong and gamble all day. I don't recognize him anymore. When did you say he was dead?"

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.

No.

Our whole family thought your parents were dead!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly said, "Wait a minute, doesn't that mean your dad doesn't care if you don't go home for Chinese New Year?"

Sun Mengjia scoffed, "Have you seen my dad call me even once?"

Jiang Chen fell silent.

He felt a strange, inexplicable emotion towards the girl in front of him.

Perhaps it was out of sympathy.

Sun Mengjia rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen: "Don't look at me like that, I'm doing just fine."

Jiang Chen thought to himself, "You're so good that you're acting like a crazy young woman and beating up an old man. You're still okay."

Of course, he wouldn't say that.

When you are poor, don't join the crowd; when your words carry little weight, don't try to advise others.

I advised her to stop being a "spiritual girl" and find a proper job and live a normal life.

Or should I advise her to stop being so dissolute and settle down?

It's meaningless.

Even if you give her money to sponsor her to go to school, she might not go, and she'll probably say Jiang Chen is a jerk.

This is reality.

You can't teach it by others, but you can teach it once and for all.

Just like when Jiang Chen was in high school, his deskmate was bullied.

Not only did they beat him, but they also forced him to kneel and subjected him to all sorts of insults, a double bullying of his body and mind.

At first, it was just one or two people who had come up with him from high school, but later half of the class got involved.

Jiang Chen couldn't say whether human nature was good or evil.

But everyone has a dark side.

If someone can bully another person at will and get away with it, there will always be people who can't control the evil in their hearts.

Later, Jiang Chen couldn't control himself and stood up for him. When he stopped people from bullying him, he beat up the person who was leading the bullying.

Although the injury wasn't serious, just some superficial wounds.

But he still got a severe scolding from the teacher.

At that time, the teacher solemnly told him that the other party's father was the bureau chief, and Jiang Chen had no right to lay a hand on him.

The key point is that Jiang Chen's deskmate also complained that he was meddling in other people's business.

From that moment on, Jiang Chen understood that if you don't have the ability, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business.

Firstly, we lack the capacity to manage it.

Can you manage something once or twice, or for a lifetime?

It might even backfire.

The key question is, will the other party definitely be grateful to you if you take care of them?

They might even resent you for meddling.

Because if you intervene this time, he might suffer even greater harm.

That classmate later transferred schools, and Jiang Chen didn't know what happened to him in the end.

I'm not interested in knowing anymore.

But he never stopped training and studying self-defense.

Because you can choose not to hit others, but you also can't let others hit you.

Sun Mengjia was so angry after hearing this that she gritted her teeth.

"Damn! How can there be such a person? You helped him and he's blaming you!"

"The key question is, how can there be a teacher like this? This kind of person is simply unfit to be a teacher!"

Jiang Chen laughed: "But he was not only a teacher at the best high school in our area, but also a homeroom teacher. Later, he even became the vice principal. Isn't that infuriating?"

Seeing Sun Mengjia's chest heaving with anger, Jiang Chen patted her shoulder: "Alright, don't get so worked up, you're like a toad."

He really wanted to say that by telling his story, he was telling Sun Mengjia to control her temper and not to fail to protect herself, lest she end up getting hurt.

Today, her uncle's stool almost hit her.

This is why Jiang Chen took action.

But he held back the words he was about to say.

You can't teach it by others, but you can teach it once and for all.

No matter how much I say now, it's just like when my parents told me to study hard when I was a child.

But children won't listen.

Only when you grow up and realize that getting better grades would have gotten you into a better company and earned you more money will you regret it.

Sun Mengjia let out a long sigh: "Then what about you hitting your aunt?"

"As for hitting my aunt, that happened when I was in junior high school."

At that time, Jiang Chen's uncle wanted to rebuild his house.

My eldest uncle's house is the same as my maternal grandparents' house. It has a large yard and many rooms, so it's like there's no wall separating the two yards.

But after they rebuilt the house, they wouldn't let my maternal grandparents live there. Instead, they made them move to my uncle's dilapidated house, which had been uninhabited for over ten years.

"You should know that most of the money for my uncle's house was paid by my maternal grandparents."

"My mom went to argue with my uncle, but my cousin and aunt chased her out with shovels."

"Then she dared to point a shovel at my mother, so I just attacked her."

Sun Mengjia was so angry that she was trembling all over.

"Damn! Who the hell are these people? I initially thought they were some kind of good guys!"

"The key point is, your uncle and aunt are so wicked, why don't your grandparents just cut ties with them?"

Jiang Chen laughed: "How many parents can truly sever ties with their children?"

Jiang Chen sighed helplessly: "Not only do we not sever ties, but we feel even more indebted to them, so we treat them even better. At first, they always advised my uncle to get a divorce, but later they stopped."

Sun Mengjia was speechless.

"What kind of relatives do you have?!"

Jiang Chen shrugged.

"Maybe it's just my relative who's weird, but it's also possible that most people's relatives are weird."

"It's just that some people don't have the chance to see their oddities."

"Like today, if you hadn't kept saying you didn't want a house, a car, or a dowry, and had let them know we bought a nice car, there probably wouldn't have been any problems except for my aunt being lazy."

"My uncle might even give you a red envelope."

Sun Mengjia was both amused and exasperated.

"So this is my fault?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "No, that's not it. Your performance today was absolutely fantastic. So cool!"

Sun Mengjia chuckled: "That's right, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Anyone who dares to mess with me, I'll kill them on the spot!"

"If you really piss me off, neither of us will survive if we don't fight to the death."

Jiang Chen laughed as well: "With your small frame, you'd better avoid getting into fights. Be careful that before your knife even touches someone else, they'll crack your skull open first."

Sun Mengjia puffed out her chest.

"Who says I'm small? Am I not big enough?"

"Just between you and me, I'm a D."

"Maybe if you massage it a little more, it might turn into an E cup. Want to give it a try?"

"Ahem!"

Jiang Chen almost choked to death.

"Um, I'm going now."

Seeing Jiang Chen's flustered steps, Sun Mengjia immediately pouted.

Am I that scary?

I should have known better than to climb into his bed in the first place; it seems I scared him half to death.

Moreover, thinking about her bizarre relatives, Sun Mengjia couldn't help but think of her own parents, and also of how her long-haired, black-haired sister was sold by her own uncle to a mentally challenged man as his wife.

"Damn it! Not a single one of them is a good person!"

Thinking of this, Sun Mengjia quickly dialed the number of the man with long, straight black hair.
