Chapter 141: Old hag, keep babbling, the young master will kick you to death

Qiao Sheng opened his mouth and replied, "I don't know; you just got back to the room and I already took a shower and went to sleep. Fine, enough of that. Go wash up, and after you're done, put the book box on your back; I'll take you to eat noodles."

"Oh."

Xiao Shitou and Shi Jin finished packing in no time.

Qiao Sheng led them to Youji Noodle House for noodles; the place serves both meat and vegetarian noodles, and although the ingredients are simple, the taste is still pretty good.

Just as they left the noodle house after eating, they ran into Shi Shi.

When Shi Shi saw Qiao Sheng, her expression turned sour: "Qiao Sheng, you didn't see that coming, did you? You won't marry my son, yet someone is still willing to marry him. That person is none other than Cheng Xianglan."

Xiao Shitou and Shi Jin both turned to look at Qiao Sheng.

"Ignore her."

Qiao Sheng took them by the hand and left.

Shi Shi realized that Qiao Sheng was holding more than one child.

She shouted loudly, "You woman, how dishonest! You said you only had one child, but there are two. And the other one—wasn't that also a child you got from some affair?"

Xiao Shitou's hand clenched instantly.

Shi Jin, far more hot‑tempered than him, delivered a whirlwind kick; Shi Shi, caught off guard, was struck and fell, landing hard on the ground.

"Old hag, keep spouting nonsense and I'll kick you to death!"

Shi Shi slapped her thigh and cried out, "There's no justice! These days the little mongrels are unstoppable…"

"You can try insulting me again!"

Qiao Sheng stepped closer and said.

Shi Shi was stunned and didn't dare insult again, but after Qiao Sheng and the others had gone only a short distance, she started shouting again: "Qiao Sheng, you whore, shameless harlot…"

"If I don't hit you, I'd be betraying myself."

Qiao Sheng ran over, grabbed Shi Shi and slapped her twice in quick succession; before she could react, a few more slaps followed.

The blows made Shi Shi see stars.

Shi Jin shouted excitedly, "Aunt Qiao, well done…"

Xiao Shitou looked around, saw the crowd of onlookers growing, and hurried forward, saying, "Mother, stop hitting, we're going to be late for school."

"If you hadn't said that, I would have forgotten."

Qiao Sheng released Shi Shi and warned, "Don't bother me again. If your mouth dares to be that filthy again, I wouldn't mind making you feel it once more!"

Shi Shi's face swelled like a bun; how could she dare insult again?

They didn't get far after stepping out.

Shi Jin said with a bright smile, "Aunt Qiao, you're amazing. She may look as sturdy as a child, yet you beat her so badly she has no strength to fight back."

Hearing that,

Qiao Sheng patted Shi Jin's head and said, "You're pretty good too, but don't be so impulsive in the future. No matter the reason, the one who strikes first always ends up at a disadvantage."

"If I have to wait for someone to hit me before I hit them, wouldn't I be the one taking the loss first?"

Shi Jin kept talking, then looked up and asked Qiao Sheng.

He not only dislikes vegetables, but also hates taking a loss.

Xiao Shitou lifted his gaze and said, "Mother, in a situation like this, should we report it to the authorities?"

After pondering for a moment,

Qiao Sheng said, "We can do this first: make others think she hit you, when in fact she didn't. Speaking of impulsiveness, I was a bit impulsive today too, but it's fine; you don't need to worry. Even if the Yamen comes after me, the worst is I just have to pay a little money."

Hearing that there might be a fine,

Shi Jin said, "No compensation! If she dares go to the Yamen to report, Aunt Qiao, you come find me. I'll have someone look for my Uncle San Shu."

Qiao Sheng didn't want to trouble Shi Lin.

"It should be fine. Let's go find an ox‑cart."
