Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 145 - 144: Sister-in-law is a Spicy Pepper

"You call yourselves police? You’re just bandits!" Yang Erdan cursed loudly, "Picking on us because we’re young, huh? Just you wait, I’ll spread the word about this when I get back."

"Oh yeah! I think they didn’t beat you hard enough! Scum like you deserve a good lesson!" An Hao, disregarding her own foot pain, limped over to Yang Erdan, straddled him, and started to slap his face with the sole of her shoe, "I’ll teach you to bully others! To disfigure me! Speak up, who put you up to this! If you don’t spill the beans, I’ll turn you into a pig-headed freak today! They have discipline, but I sure don’t!" An Hao was furious, each hit with the shoe sole solidly landing on Yang Erdan’s face and body, causing him to howl in pain, "Stop hitting me, stop! It was Li Wangfu and your sister Bai Yanjiao who made me do it!"

He couldn’t hold out anymore and spilled everything in one breath.

Li Wangfu! Bai Yanjiao!!!

An Hao’s eyes reddened with anger, she was utterly heartbroken!

Her home had raised a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

"Get lost! Go!" An Hao threw down the shoe sole and slumped onto a rock, her legs giving out.

Tian Niu gave Qin Jian a look and, seeing him nod, went forward and untied the two young ruffians’ hands, "Beat it! If you don’t start behaving, I’ll make sure you spend a few days in detention! Consider your actions carefully!"

Daguang and Xiaobing still wanted to show their teeth, but a stern look from Tian Niu instantly drained them of their bravado.

They were only tough on the outside but hollow on the inside, all bluster. If they were really taken to the police station, they would all be afraid.

After letting them flee, Tian Niu turned back to check on An Hao.

The scene just now had truly shocked him, "Sister-in-law, I originally thought you were a gentle woman, but turns out you’re quite the fiery one, huh?"

"I wish I could be gentle," An Hao said, looking at the ground, her heart filled with distress, "but some people just force me to be harsh!"

Seeing An Hao’s distressed appearance, Qin Jian also felt heavy-hearted, "What’s this about Li Wangfu and Bai Yanjiao they mentioned?"

"Bai Yanjiao is my stepsister. Li Wangfu is the head of the production team." An Hao clenched her fists, then looked up at Qin Jian, "All these are messes within my family..."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Qin Jian looked down at her, a faint trace of compassion stirring in his eyes.

"No. You can’t help." Besides, he was an outsider; it was always inconvenient for him to interfere with her family matters.

They were nothing to each other, so how could she have the audacity to drag him into her affairs?

Qin Jian seemed to see through her thoughts, the corners of his lips pressing lightly together, "All right. Then I’ll take you home."

"I can walk on my own," An Hao struggled to stand on her own but was stopped by Qin Jian.

"Your foot injury isn’t suitable for walking long distances." He said, then bent down and picked her up in his arms.

"Oh..." Being carried by him again, the road seemed very long this time.

"Good job, Qin!" Tian Niu gave a thumbs-up. Qin was truly awesome, swift in his work, and didn’t dawdle in courting a woman, taking action when needed, carrying her straight home.

Qin Jian carried An Hao briskly ahead, while Tian Niu, carrying An Hao’s basket, slowly followed behind, maintaining a respectful distance.

He may have been a bit rough around the edges, but he understood the basics of subtlety.

As An Hao was carried by Qin Jian, her head gently rested against his chest, feeling the heat of his body through his thin military uniform, as well as his heart beating like thunder.
