The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 16: No Fight, No Friendship
Chapter 16: Chapter 16: No Fight, No Friendship
Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed her third brother; in this lifetime, the two of them are not supposed to be friends.
They started fighting as soon as they met.
"Why are you hitting people? I really saw you in a dream! You died, and then...what happened?"
He Aiguo looked dazedly at Jiang Shitou.
Jiang Shitou was furious, and replied with disbelief, "Enough already."
He pushed his sister aside and charged forward.
"I told you to shut up! Say it! Say it! I dare you!"
Punches flew, landing with a crunch.
He Aiguo was obviously stunned by the beatdown! Then it was just instinctive resistance.
The two got into a scuffle.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stood frozen there.
She didn’t have time to think about anything else, just trying to process those bits of information instinctively.
He Aiguo said he saw the third brother in a dream and mentioned that the third brother died.
These are all events from a year later.
Could it be that He Aiguo was reincarnated as well?
He Aiguo also said similar things to her, like he somehow met her before.
Is it possible He Aiguo was reincarnated too?
But it doesn’t seem like it.
Whether or not he was reincarnated didn’t matter, the two were already locked in battle.
By the time Jiang Xiaoxiao came to her senses.
It was the scrap yard employees who pulled the two apart.
"What are you guys doing? Why are you fighting here? Take your fight outside! This is a scrap yard, not your front door, do you hear me? Or I’ll call Public Security, our Security Department is not far off, once they’re here, you’ll regret it."
Those words carried a lot of weight.
During this era, the Security Department had a lot of authority, equivalent to the Public Security.
If they were caught, they’d be charged with fighting and disturbing the peace, likely detained.
Jiang Shitou wasn’t afraid of being detained, but the fine was a concern, since there wasn’t any money at home.
Not earning money and wasting his parents’ savings—that was something he couldn’t bring himself to do.
He backed off, even though he had taken a few punches to the face.
His eyes ached terribly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao rushed over, "Sir! Sir! It’s a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! We’re acquaintances, just fooling around. Really, no problem, we’ll settle it privately, don’t be angry. We’ll leave, we’ll go."
She grabbed each one by an arm and walked away.
"For the sake of the young girl, I’ll let it slide this time, otherwise, see how I’ll deal with you! You young people nowadays, so hard to understand."
After watching the three of them leave, the worker muttered to himself as he returned to his station, continuing to sip his tea and read the newspaper.
Jiang Xiaoxiao dragged them down the street before they stopped at a corner, panting heavily.
"What’s with you two? Can’t you talk nicely? I’m Jiang Xiaoxiao! This is my third brother, Jiang Shitou. What’s your name?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that in this life, fate had coincided, and He Aiguo and Jiang Shitou met again.
She had a feeling they would become friends.
He Aiguo extended his hand, "I’m He Aiguo, your punch is fast, faster than my classmates’."
With a bruised nose and swollen eyes, the kid had been badly beaten by Jiang Shitou.
Jiang Shitou glanced at He Aiguo, secretly thinking, this guy seems a bit foolish.
"He Aiguo, did you get your head stuck in a door?"
"Why are you insulting people? It’s just that it seems like we were friends in a past life, best friends, otherwise I wouldn’t be bothered with you. But if we really fought, you might not be able to take me."
Well, Jiang Xiaoxiao knew He Aiguo successfully provoked her third brother’s competitiveness.
They were going to have another fight.
Sure enough, Jiang Shitou was not having it.
He had never met a rival in a fight, and this was the first to dare speak to him so brazenly.
Rebels!
Jiang Shitou rolled up his sleeves ready to charge.
He Aiguo quickly backed up.
"What? I’m not fighting you. If we’re caught, it’ll be trouble, you don’t want to go to the police, right?"
In a moment of panic, that line made Jiang Shitou stop in his tracks.
Jiang Shitou glared angrily at He Aiguo, "Where do you live? Tomorrow we’ll go to West Mountain, nobody will bother us there, we can go at it properly. Let me show you what I’m made of. Anyone who dares boast to me is still in their mother’s womb.
If you don’t show up, I’ll certainly track you down, sooner or later I’ll beat you to the point you’re toothless on the floor."
He Aiguo just chuckled without saying much.
"I live in the dorms by the water plant. I’m He Aiguo, Jiang Shitou, see you tomorrow!"
He left a parting shot that left Jiang Shitou fuming.
This He Aiguo is quite cunning.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh.
So that’s how these two loved and fought in their past life, huh.
She didn’t expect He Aiguo to turn out like this.
Coming from such a family, he still retained such innocence and passion; what’s supporting him with that unwavering resolve?
This insight came because Jiang Xiaoxiao knew He Aiguo’s mother had passed away early; by the time he was eight, he had lost his mother. A year after his mother’s death, his father He Shouzhang married the current stepmother Lv Meiyun, and they had a younger brother and sister, and brought in an elder sister.
In this household! Naturally, nothing good was in store for him.
One can only imagine how awkward He Aiguo’s situation is.
The family lives harmoniously, while he seems like an outsider.
Originally, the family hosting youth for rural tasks shouldn’t have been his responsibility, given there’s an elder sister above him, a younger brother and sister below.
No matter the circumstances, it shouldn’t have been his turn.
But there was no choice; if he didn’t go, the stepmother would be making snide remarks all the time, breaking pots and bowls in the house.
The household would be in turmoil, his father aged numerous years in an instant.
Plus, the home atmosphere wasn’t suited for him.
That’s why he strongly petitioned to go to the countryside.
At least after going, he’d have it better personally, and others would have it easier too.
However, He Aiguo probably didn’t expect that shortly after he went to the countryside, his father passed away, and the household was entirely taken over by the stepmother. Later, he didn’t even get a penny of the family property.
Many years later, He Aiguo found out the cause of his father’s death; it turns out it was due to stress from the stepmother, and the younger siblings were not actually his biological children.
The accidental discovery led He Shouzhang to die of a brain hemorrhage.
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought maybe she should gradually reveal this situation; He Aiguo doesn’t deserve this outcome.
If Mr. He were alive, he probably wouldn’t watch his own son be encroached upon by others.
It’s important to know Mr. He had three properties, not to mention hefty compensation.
If He Aiguo had these, he wouldn’t struggle so much later.
This time, she’ll repay He Aiguo.
Anyway, there’s plenty of time, still over a month before they head to the countryside.
This span should help He Aiguo.
The water plant?
Indeed, they’re actually not far from the water plant, just separated by a couple of streets from their courtyard.
They never knew each other.
Jiang Xiaoxiao shouldn’t delay, she dragged Jiang Shitou to buy meat.
Her mom was still waiting for the meat back home.
If she didn’t bring it back, her own mom would flip.
She picked up the newspaper, shoved the books to Jiang Shitou, and walked quickly.
"Third brother, let’s go! Mom asked me to buy meat. Second sister is back."
Jiang Shitou carried a large stack of books with both hands, hurriedly caught up, running out of breath.
"You! Buying meat near the scrap yard? I’ll tell mom, let her smack your behind till it bursts. If it weren’t for me today! You’d be bullied by that kid. What do I say about you? Have no sense of crisis? Do you know there are lots of punks out there?
You’re a girl, pretty as a flower, watch out for those wolves."
Jiang Shitou looked at his sister who was completely unconcerned, a headache from the anger.
She barely paid attention to those words.
He was just worried.
His foolish sister being bullied.
