Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

"Hmm, are you saying my wife dug up your wild vegetables on your turf?"

"That's right!"

Lu Qinsi said, tilting her head.

"Hmm, if we really dug up your wild vegetables, then we should compensate."

Chen Jie said, and upon hearing this, everyone around had a look that said, see, I told you he's a pushover.

Meanwhile, Su Yunjin lifelessly raised her head to glance at Chen Jie, the light in her eyes completely disappeared. She had thought Chen Jie had changed, but it seemed he was still the same as before, she had no more hope left in her.

*Why was she so foolish to believe that Chen Jiusi could change?* she thought mockingly as she lowered her head powerlessly.

Lu Qinsi, ecstatic with Chen Jie's response, said, "Good, good, Brother Jiu Si is indeed reasonable, come on, give me the rabbit, this rabbit is really fat!"

Lu Qinsi was grinning from ear to ear, thinking it was worth coming today. She managed to get a fat rabbit to eat after going a whole month without any meat; she had really hit the jackpot today.

Thinking about it, Lu Qinsi couldn't help but swallow hard.

Indeed, this Chen Jiusi was just a pushover, so easy to bully!

She reached out to take the rabbit from Chen Jie, but he didn't hand it over and instead continued, "Hold on, I'm not finished yet."

Lu Qinsi said, "Then hurry up and say it."

Chen Jie said, "I said, if we dug up your wild vegetables, we should compensate, but how do you prove that my wife dug up your wild vegetables?"

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Jie in astonishment.

Even the hopeless Su Yunjin couldn't help but raise her head to look at Chen Jie again.

Lu Qinsi's expression turned cold as she said, "What do you mean?"

Chen Jie said, "Literally."

"Are you trying to deny it?"

Lu Qinsi's face turned even worse as she pointed at Su Yunjin and said, "This wretch admitted it herself, she dug it up at East River, and you still won't admit it?"

"So what if it was dug up at East River?"

"East River is my turf, everything that grows there is my wild vegetables."

Lu Qinsi spoke menacingly, and hearing this, Chen Jie sneered, "East River is your turf, huh? Then show me the land deed."

"You!"

Lu Qinsi was left speechless by Chen Jie's words. The land deed, where could she possibly find the deed for East River?

Seeing Lu Qinsi's ugly expression, Chen Jie said coldly, "You don't have a land deed, so what are you pretending for? How is that your turf? What's wrong with us digging there, what's it to you, what are you barking at us for, get lost!"

"I..."

Lu Qinsi was infuriated, ready to curse Chen Jie, but Chen Jie was quicker, swinging his arm and slapping Lu Qinsi.

Slap!

A loud smack resounded throughout the courtyard, and everyone was shocked, staring at Chen Jie, not expecting him to actually make a move.

Even the despondent Su Yunjin raised her head, eyes wide in disbelief at what was happening.

The people around were also wide-eyed in disbelief.

*No way, how could Chen Jiusi dare to!*

For a moment, silence enveloped the area, little Ruirui inside the house also widened his eyes, clenching the bamboo basket tightly with his small hands.

Lu Qinsi was stunned by the slap, it took her a while to react, and then she went berserk.

"Ah, you dare to hit me, I'm going to kill you!"

Saying this, Lu Qinsi went mad and lunged at Chen Jie, using her infamous shrewish assault, her dark fingernails clawing at Chen Jie, ready to leave blood marks.

Seeing this, Chen Jie lifted a foot and kicked Lu Qinsi down.

As an adult man, Chen Jie naturally had a physical advantage over Lu Qinsi, and besides, he'd learned some martial arts for business in the past life at a fighting club.

Although he couldn't compare with experts, he had taken on three to five people at once before, dealing with this mad shrew was no effort for him.

He kicked Lu Qinsi to the ground and went over, grabbed her by the collar, and slapped her twice back and forth.

He cursed as he slapped, "You hit my wife last time, and I didn't bother you. How dare you bully her again today, you ungrateful thing, I'll tell you, if you ever bully my wife again, I'll beat you to death!"

"Damn, spit!"

After the two slaps, he got up and kicked Lu Qinsi hard, spitting on her face.

By now, Lu Qinsi's face was swollen, rolling on the ground, shouting, "Murder, murder!"

But Chen Jie didn't care at all; he had lived in the countryside as a child, knew what rural bullying was like, they would truly oppress you.

And to avoid being bullied, you had to let others know you couldn't be pushed around, and how did you prove you weren't easily bullied, you had to retaliate harshly.

*It's better to take one hard punch than to endure a hundred weak ones.*

*In the eyes of 'simple' folks, patience is just an invitation to oppression!*

"Shut up!"

Chen Jie barked angrily, looking at the crying and howling Lu Qinsi. But she continued to cry and wail, so Chen Jie rudely kicked her twice more. This time, Lu Qinsi dared not wail again, struggling to get up from the ground, staring at Chen Jie with vengeful eyes.

But a glance from Chen Jie immediately calmed her down.

Pointing at Lu Qinsi, Chen Jie said, "If I see you bullying my wife again, I swear I'll kill you, now scram!"

Everyone was incredulous at Chen Jie's words. The incident had happened too suddenly, from when Chen Jie slapped Lu Qinsi to the flurry of punches and kicks, leaving everyone shocked and bewildered. When had the pushover Chen Jiusi become so fierce!

Su Yunjin also looked at Chen Jie in disbelief because she actually heard him stand up for her just now.

"If I see you bullying my wife again, I swear I'll kill you!"

Though crude, it sounded like heavenly music from the clouds in Su Yunjin's ears, more moving than the world's most beautiful poems.

He stood up for her!

*How was this even possible!!*

Su Yunjin watched his back in shock, for some reason feeling that today he seemed rather handsome.

Lu Qinsi pushed through the crowd, running away in disgrace, and once outside the door, she turned back, glaring viciously at Chen Jie, cursing, "Chen Jiusi, you beast, bullying me, a woman, is that all you're good for? Just wait, when Lu San returns tonight, he'll break your legs, you son of a—"

Hearing this, Chen Jie handed the rabbit to Su Yunjin, grabbed a wooden stick from the door, and chased after, "Say it again if you dare."

Seeing Chen Jie come after her, Lu Qinsi took off, not daring to leave any more threatening words, sprinting away until she disappeared.

Chen Jie stood at the doorway with the wooden stick, looking at the onlookers, saying, "Okay, everyone, there's no more show to watch, you can leave."

The gathered neighbors immediately began to disperse in twos and threes, leaving with their heads down, whispering among themselves, but it was clear their gaze on Chen Jie had changed significantly.
