Chapter 314 Era: XCMG's Simple-minded Wife 18
Ji Xiaosong came out of the supply and marketing cooperative carrying a vegetable basket, the warm sunshine shining on her.
She touched her still flat stomach, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Triplets...
Xu Weidong said it was a "guess," but she knew very well that it was true.
Just then, a sharp voice came from behind me.
"Hey, isn't this Ji Xiaosong?"
Ji Xiaosong paused, then slowly turned around.
Ji Hongmei stood a few steps away, wearing a brand-new blue work uniform, her hair neatly combed, and her lips painted bright red.
She looked Ji Xiaosong up and down, her gaze finally settling on her stomach, her eyes as cold as a venomous snake.
"I heard you're pregnant?" Ji Hongmei forced a smile. "Congratulations!"
Ji Xiaosong narrowed her eyes, but a simple and honest smile appeared on her face: "Yes, my Weidong is very happy."
She deliberately emphasized the words "my Weidong," and sure enough, she saw a twisted jealousy flash in Ji Hongmei's eyes.
Ji Hongmei gripped the cloth bag tightly in her hand, her nails almost digging into the fabric, but she still forced a smile: "You have to be careful when you're pregnant, don't be like last time, accidentally... falling into the river."
Ji Xiaosong's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes turned cold.
Last time?
The original owner of this body was "accidentally" pushed into the river by Ji Hongmei and almost drowned.
"Don't worry." Ji Xiaosong patted her belly slowly. "I'm tough, I'll keep bad luck away from villains."
Ji Hongmei's face stiffened. Just as she was about to speak, two shady-looking men suddenly appeared beside her, blocking Ji Xiaosong's path from the left and right.
"Oh my, this young wife is so beautiful!"
One of the men, whose face was covered in pockmarks, grinned and reached out to touch Ji Xiaosong's face.
Ji Xiaosong's eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to make a move when he saw Ji Hongmei "panicked" and take two steps back, shouting loudly, "What are you doing! In broad daylight, is there no law anymore?!"
What a clever trick of the thief crying "stop thief!"
Ji Xiaosong sneered inwardly, but pretended to be scared on the surface. She took two steps back and secretly reached for the rolling pin she had just bought in the basket.
“Little lady, don’t be afraid!” Another tall, thin man approached with a grin. “We brothers just want to ‘chat’ with you…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Xiaosong suddenly slipped and fell backward!
"Ah!" she cried out in surprise, and the vegetable basket in her hand "accidentally" flew out and hit the tall, thin man right in the face!
"Ouch!" The tall, thin man cried out, clutching his face as potatoes and carrots rolled out of the basket and pelted him.
Seeing this, the pockmarked man rushed forward, cursing, "You bitch! You want to die?!"
He reached out to grab Ji Xiaosong's collar, but his hand was only halfway there when suddenly everything went blurry...
"Crack!"
With a crisp crack, Ji Xiaosong twisted the pockmarked man's wrist, dislocating it!
"Ah...!" A pig-like scream echoed throughout the street.
Seeing this, the tall, thin man pulled a small knife from his waist and lunged at him menacingly, shouting, "I'll kill you!"
Ji Xiaosong's eyes turned cold. He dodged the blade by turning to the side and delivered a vicious kick!
"boom!"
The tall, thin man was kicked away and crashed heavily into the ditch by the roadside. The knife clattered to the ground.
The whole process took only a few seconds. Before Ji Hongmei could even react, the two thugs were already lying on the ground groaning in pain.
"You...you..." Ji Hongmei's face turned deathly pale as she pointed at Ji Xiaosong, her voice trembling, "How dare you hit someone?!"
Ji Xiaosong dusted off her hands, looking completely innocent: "Oh dear, I didn't mean to, I was just scared, and my hands shake when I'm scared..."
As she spoke, she "accidentally" stepped on the pockmarked man's finger, causing him to scream in pain once again.
The surrounding crowd had already gathered around, pointing and whispering.
"Isn't that Ji Hongmei? What's she doing hanging out with thugs?"
"I saw it just now, those two thugs were after Comrade Xiao Song!"
"Could it be that Ji Hongmei instigated this? Hasn't she always been jealous of Xiao Song for marrying so well?"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Ji Hongmei's face turned pale and then red, and she turned to run away.
Want to run?
Ji Xiaosong reacted quickly and grabbed her braid: "Sister Hongmei, don't go! The police are coming soon, you have to be my witness!"
"Let me go!" Ji Hongmei struggled desperately and screamed, "What does this have to do with me?!"
"How is it none of your business?" Ji Xiaosong said with a smile. "Weren't you the one shouting the loudest just now? Maybe... these two are the ones you brought?"
Ji Hongmei froze, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
Just then, a sharp whistle sounded in the distance...
"Get out of the way! The police are here!"
……
In the public security bureau.
The two thugs, their faces bruised and swollen, squatted in the corner and confessed in detail that Ji Hongmei had instructed them to "teach Ji Xiaosong a lesson," preferably to make her "fall down and lose the baby."
Ji Hongmei's face was ashen, but she still struggled desperately: "They're lying! I don't know them at all!"
The police officer sneered and pulled a wad of cash from her bag: "How do you explain this money? It has your fingerprints on it!"
Ji Hongmei collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
Just then, the door of the police station was suddenly pushed open.
"Xiao Song!"
Xu Weidong rushed in, his face pale, his military uniform soaked with sweat.
He grabbed Ji Xiaosong's shoulder and looked him up and down: "Where are you hurt?!"
Ji Xiaosong shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Weidong had already pulled her into his arms, his arm tightening around her so much it hurt.
His heart was pounding frighteningly fast, and his breathing was heavy, as if he had just run ten miles.
Ji Xiaosong was stunned for a moment, then her heart softened, and she gently patted his back: "It's really okay, those two thugs didn't even touch the hem of my clothes."
Xu Weidong didn't say anything, he just hugged her tighter.
Heaven knows how scared he was when he heard that Ji Xiaosong was blocked on the road!
His little Song, and their child...
He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing Ji Hongmei like a knife.
Ji Hongmei trembled under his gaze, like a rabbit being stared at by a wild beast, unable to even beg for mercy.
“Mr. Xu…” she stammered, “I… I was just confused for a moment…”
Xu Weidong didn't say a word, but turned around and saluted the police officer: "Please handle this according to the law."
Six words sealed Ji Hongmei's fate.
……
On the way home, Xu Weidong held Ji Xiaosong's hand tightly, so tightly that it almost hurt her.
"Be gentle." Ji Xiaosong shook his hand. "You're about to break my hand."
Xu Weidong then loosened his grip slightly, as if waking from a dream, but still didn't let go.
“From now on…” his voice was hoarse, “you are not allowed to go out alone.”
Ji Xiaosong pouted: "But I can't just stay at home all the time, can I?"
"I'll accompany you."
"You're not going to work anymore?"
"I'll spend time with you after get off work."
Ji Xiaosong chuckled: "Mr. Xu, are you trying to tie me to your belt?"
Xu Weidong didn't smile; his eyes were frighteningly serious. "Yes."
Ji Xiaosong felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and suddenly stood on tiptoe to kiss his tense chin: "Silly boy!"
Xu Weidong's ears turned red instantly, but he never let go of her hand.
The setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them, stretching all the way towards their home.
There is light, there is the future, and there are the three little lives that are about to be born.
