Chapter 56: Is this really a woman? So fierce!
Upon hearing this, Song Chu could roughly guess what her third sister-in-law meant.
She smiled and said truthfully, “The four factories we traded with before were all connected through acquaintances introduced by Fourth Brother. We don’t know anyone at the clothing factory, so we’re planning to think of other ways to find someone.”
Third Sister-in-law at her, “Why look for someone else! I’m right here. My third sister works as a staff member at the clothing factory.”
Song Chu knew that her third sister-in-law’s sister was at the clothing factory. After all, her mother used to often bring her to Third Sister-in-law to get new clothes. She just didn’t feel comfortable bringing it up herself, or else it would seem like she was trying to take advantage again.
Her third sister-in-law was just that kind of person, without too many schemes. If you were good to her, she would definitely think of being good to you. If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn’t take this kind of thing upon themselves.
If it went well, it would be a favor. If it went badly, both sides might end up offended.
Coming from the complex and human nature of the apocalypse, Song Chu preferred to interact with people like her third sister-in-law, who were straightforward and expressed their likes and dislikes openly.
“Is this manageable?” she asked.
Third Sister-in-law Song smiled and said, “Of course, it’s manageable. We’re family.”
“I’ll take you to the clothing factory to find my third sister in a bit. Don’t worry.”
Song Chu smiled and said, “Third Sister-in-law is so nice.”
Being complimented like that by her, Third Sister-in-law Song felt a little embarrassed, “I’ll go heat up a couple of buns for you.”
With that, she got up and went into the kitchen.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Song Chu didn’t refuse.
She ate two buns, filled with Chinese cabbage, vermicelli, and a little minced meat. Because the ingredients were fresh, they tasted quite good.
Then her third sister-in-law took eight more buns, wrapped them up, and put them in the basket she brought, telling her to take them home for her family to try.
After sitting for a while, Song Chu and her third sister-in-law rode their bikes to the clothing factory together.
“Come, we can take a shortcut through that alley.” Third Sister-in-law Song led Song Chu on the shortcut.
This area was relatively secluded, and there weren’t many people around.
The two rode into an alley, with Third Sister-in-law Song leading the way in front and Song Chu following behind.
Suddenly, a person rushed out from the alley entrance ahead, pulling Third Sister-in-law Song off her bike and holding her by the neck.
“Ah!” Third Sister-in-law Song screamed, startled by the sudden attack.
“Shut up!” The scar-faced man who grabbed her snorted coldly, pressed a knife against her, and turned to shout at the two people chasing him into the alley, “Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill her.”
The two people chasing into the alley were young men. One was wearing a military uniform, with a stern face and a tough demeanor. The other was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a handsome appearance and an air of nobility.
The stern-faced man frowned and said, “Let her go, or your crimes will be even more severe.”
The scar-faced man snorted coldly, “If you catch me, I’m definitely dead anyway, so I might as well kill a few people for fun first.”
“You let me leave now, and I’ll let this woman go. Otherwise, I’ll kill her.” He was clearly a ruthless criminal.
The stern-faced man’s eyes were filled with anger. They had finally stumbled upon this fugitive today and almost caught him. Who knew he would manage to take a hostage?
The handsome man tried to reason, “Let’s talk this out. Don’t hurt anyone.”
“Who the hell wants to talk to you? I’ll count to three. If you don’t let me leave, I’ll stab her first.” With that, he raised the knife and made a gesture as if to stab her in the stomach.
Third Sister-in-law Song’s face turned pale with fear, but she didn’t dare to scream. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she wanted to cry.
“One, two!” The scar-faced man shouted without hesitation.
The stern-faced man took a deep breath, “Alright, you can go.”
◈◈◈
No matter what, they couldn’t let an innocent person get hurt. This person had escaped here, and they still had a chance to catch him.
The scar-faced man curled his lips, just about to drag his hostage along with him.
Suddenly, a figure pounced from behind. He felt the hand holding the knife get twisted and broken. Before he could even scream from the pain, he was kicked flying and slammed heavily against the wall.
Song Chu quickly pulled her third sister-in-law over, “Third Sister-in-law, are you okay?”
Third Sister-in-law Song, having been rescued by Song Chu, finally relaxed her tense and frightened nerves and couldn’t help but cry out, “Wuwu, I’m fine, just scared to death.”
Song Chu patted her back to comfort her, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Then she narrowed her eyes, stepped forward, and kicked the scar-faced man who had just gotten up and was trying to run, sending him sprawling to the ground again.
“I told you to grab my sister-in-law. I told you to scare my sister-in-law.” It wasn’t just Guo Chun; even Song Chu was startled just now. She didn’t expect to encounter such a situation.
If the person being held hostage was her, she could have easily handled it with an over-the-shoulder throw.
But it was her third sister-in-law being held hostage. She had to find an opening to act, fearing the man might hurt her.
Fortunately, the scar-faced man wasn’t paying attention to her, which allowed her to rescue her sister-in-law when he picked up the knife.
“Ahhh!” The scar-faced man screamed in agony as Song Chu stepped on his just-broken arm.
Damn it, where did this woman come from? She was even more ruthless than him, a violent criminal. He was so unlucky. It hurt, it hurt so much.
The two men standing at the alley entrance were also completely stunned, staring in disbelief at the slender and beautiful female comrade beating up a burly, vicious man.
Is this really a woman? So fierce!
Third Sister-in-law Song was initially crying from fear, but now, seeing her younger sister-in-law beating the man and hearing his screams, she wiped her tears and felt a sense of relief.
She was always a carefree person, and now she broke into a smile through her tears, “Chu Chu, that’s a good beating. This shameless hoodlum deserves it.”
However, seeing the man on the ground turning pale and becoming short of breath, she quickly went over and pulled Song Chu back, “Chu Chu, that’s enough. Don’t beat him to death.”
Beating someone to death would result in a prison sentence, and she didn’t want anything bad to happen to her younger sister-in-law.
She had heard before that her younger sister-in-law was the village bully, but she didn’t think much of it. How fierce could a girl with a bit of strength be? But now, her perception was completely overturned.
Her younger sister-in-law was able to rescue her from a thug and beat up such a burly man without any resistance. She was simply too amazing and awesome.
Song Chu was still in control of her strength, and she stopped when pulled back, “Okay.”
By this time, the two men at the alley entrance had also recovered their senses and quickly walked over.
The stern-faced man stepped on the scar-faced man to prevent him from escaping and then said to Song Chu with a hint of admiration, “Comrade, thank you so much just now.”
If this female comrade hadn’t intervened, this person might have escaped again.
Song Chu said indifferently, “No need to thank me. It was nothing.”
She could also tell that the thug was being chased into the alley by these two.
However, seeing that they didn’t disregard her third sister-in-law’s safety for the sake of catching the criminal and were willing to let the thug go to ensure her third sister-in-law’s safety, she didn’t hold it against them.
The handsome man looked at Song Chu. He really couldn’t understand how this delicate, beautiful, and gentle-looking female comrade could have such explosive power, “Your ‘nothing’ was a big help.”
