Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1821: Chapter 1820: Bad News Travels a Thousand Miles

”No problem.” An Hao smiled, intensifying her grip.

While studying Western medicine at the military academy, she also self-taught Chinese medicine for a while, but eventually gave up because the meridians and such were too difficult.

She thought the knowledge she had learned would be hard to apply, but unexpectedly, it came in handy today when she was fighting.

An Hao specifically targeted the acupuncture points while hitting. It didn’t look forceful, nor did it show any external injuries, but it made An Hui howl like a ghost.

”Don’t be so dramatic! Even if you’re acting, act a bit more realistically!” An Ping couldn’t stand it and said to the crowd watching the commotion, ”You see? He’s here to extort! And he’s extorting from the military!”

”Hey, young man, I think you should give it up! Do you have any dignity left? Everyone can see you’re pretending!” Finally, people had seen enough.

They seemed tired of such exaggerated acting and started speaking up one after another.

”Stop, stop, stop! A hundred, just a hundred!” An Hui felt like he was about to die from pain. He finally couldn’t bear it and spat out, ”A hundred! Just a hundred!”

An Hao stopped and said to An Ping, ”Give him the money! Let him go!”

Tian Hui got the money and scurried away from the crowd. The crowd dispersed, each going back to their own home.

”Sis... I...” An Ping wanted to apologize for his actions.

”No need to say it. I understand, you’d better go! Don’t let the sentinel get a disciplinary action!” Fighting at the door, the sentinel’s lack of intervention was already a dereliction of duty.

”Okay. Sis, goodbye...”

The sentinel did face disciplinary action, but luckily it wasn’t too severe.

Even if they faced disciplinary action, they were willing to, as that bastard made their teeth itch with anger; who wouldn’t want to kick him a couple of times.

This incident spread rapidly.

In just half a day, An Hao became a ”celebrity” in the military district compound.

Even Qin Jian, who just returned from outside, knew all about it.

”Wow, my wife! Just as I entered the compound, so many people gave me a thumbs up! I thought it was for some heroic deed I did unknowingly. Turns out, it was you!” Qin Jian said while taking off his military uniform, talking to An Hao.

”It surely is good news that doesn’t leave the house, bad news travels a thousand miles!” An Hao lay on the bed flipping through a Chinese medicine book, with her legs swinging in the air.

”Tell me what happened, will you?” Qin Jian leaned over, sat beside An Hao, and, seeing the two sleeping babies next to An Hao, bowed down to kiss them gently.

”Do you remember An Hui?” An Hao asked without lifting her head much.

”I do! What’s up?”

”He came! He demanded money from me, insisting that you hit him with your car, so he was pestering me for money!”

Qin Jian slightly closed his eyes, pondered over Tian Hui’s appearance, and nodded, ”You’re right. I’m sure that guy is capable of doing such a thing! A reckless gambler on the run with nothing he wouldn’t do.”

”So, you beat him up?”

”Hmm.” An Hao briefly recounted the incident to him.

After listening, Qin Jian laughed heartily: ”Wife! It’s the first time I realized you’re so fierce! No wonder people were giving me thumbs up! That’s what it meant.”

An Hao didn’t mind being called fierce by Qin Jian: ”You’re right. I am fierce! If I weren’t, could I have come this far? Who knows, I might’ve died eight hundred times by now.”

”Good job.” Qin Jian laughed, ”But I have a question to ask you...”
