Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Agile and Good at Fighting

Chiang Songhai was about to reach out to block it.

But if he could tell that the broom would cause serious damage upon impact, couldn’t Chiang Xiao see it too?

Not wanting to be hit herself, she certainly wouldn’t let her grandfather suffer in her stead.

Somehow, even though her body used to react slowly and was weak, this time, when she saw Ho Laidi’s movement, Chiang Xiao instantly spotted her weakest spot. Her body was exceptionally agile, and as soon as the thought occurred to her, she had already sidestepped slightly and fiercely charged at Ho Laidi.

At the same time, she grabbed Ho Laidi’s sleeve and, with a tug at the wrist, pulled her downward strike off course.

The broom head smashed into the ground, and Ho Laidi, because of Chiang Xiao’s charge, stumbled violently, nearly falling over.

”Look at you, always cursing and hitting people for no good reason, having no manners yourself, and you still think about teaching me how to behave on behalf of my grandparents? What a joke!”

Chiang Xiao spoke fiercely while pulling her grandparents back a few steps.

In her heart, she was feeling delighted, knowing that the Lingzhi she had planted earlier must have taken effect, otherwise, how could she have moved Ho Laidi so easily?

Ho Laidi, with her height of 168 cm, had a tall and sturdy physique rare among women at the time and possessed great strength, having just charged at her fiercely.

Before, Chiang Xiao’s small frame would have had no chance but to be bullied, yet she had barely exerted any strength just now and nearly knocked Ho Laidi down.

However, at this moment, there was no time to check the growth of the Lingzhi in the ”Space”.

”Little Little!” Ge Liutao was no longer concerned about the insults Ho Laidi had hurled at her moments ago; she quickly pulled Chiang Xiao behind her, nearly scared out of her wits.

Ever since Chiang Xiao was rescued from drowning, her temper had changed. Talking back was one thing, but now she was actually laying hands on an elder!

In Ge Liutao’s view, regardless of the reason, this was unacceptable.

But right now, she was more afraid that Ho Laidi would lash out at Chiang Xiao again in a fit of rage, which would certainly not be gentle. Ge Liutao’s current thought was to protect Chiang Xiao first and then instruct her to apologize to Ho Laidi afterward.

Chiang Songhai also stepped in front of the two of them.

He felt that both his wife and granddaughter needed protection; as the man and elder of the house, he couldn’t just stand by and watch the women of his family get hit.

With her grandmother standing in front of her and her grandfather in front of that, Chiang Xiao was shielded at the very back.

Although her grandparents were indeed too meek, they genuinely doted and cared for her.

”How dare you!” Ho Laidi was already furious from the near fall, and upon hearing Chiang Xiao insult her lack of manners, her rage was about to reach the tip of her hair. ”Chiang Xiao, you wretched thing, you’ve really grown bold! So young and yet so disrespectful and arrogant! I will peel your skin off today and tear apart that foul mouth of yours, to keep you from being so insolent!”

Ho Laidi picked up the broom again and charged toward Chiang Xiao.

How could Chiang Xiao truly let her grandparents take the brunt?

Now that she felt lighter and more nimble, she quickly dodged a few steps away, leading Ho Laidi farther from her grandparents and provocatively lifting her chin at Ho Laidi.

”Let’s see who is being arrogant now! For me to respect my elders, you also need to be worthy of respect!”

”You still dare to talk back! Who do you say lacks virtue? I curse you all I want! The old have no dignity, and the young deserve to be drowned!” Ho Laidi swung the broom at her again.

Fire flashed in Chiang Xiao’s eyes. She had just discovered how much more agile her body had become, perfect to test in a fight!

There was no reason to always let the Old Chiang Family bully them with force!
