The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 160 - 159: Elites Gather Together

"Sis, don’t be upset. Tomorrow I’ll go with you to the hospital. Hongbing will be fine, don’t wear yourself down and make yourself sick." Hong Zhi, who usually talks casually, took the initiative to comfort her sister at this moment.

Everything about her sister is great, except her heart is too small, once something happens, she can’t move on and tends to overthink.

Hongling nodded, lay down on the bed, but couldn’t sleep for a long time.

Hong Zhi heard her sister turning over, sighed quietly, but didn’t know how to console her further. Alas, she’s really no good at comforting people.

Hongbing indeed wasn’t seriously injured. The teenage boy recovers quickly, and by the next day, he was much more mentally refreshed, able to sit up against the headboard. Ling Chengyan specially brought over a radio for him, and the boy was overjoyed, leaning against the bed and tuning in to his favorite program, completely absorbed.

Wang Liansheng and Ling Chengyan both had to go to work, so they left Hongling and Hong Zhi to look after their brother.

Ling Chengyan specifically went to the dispatch room and temporarily stopped taking long-distance tasks. She’s at the deputy company level, so she doesn’t actually need to drive every day. The dispatch room knows there’s been some trouble at her home with the kids, so they didn’t schedule any driving tasks for her.

In the morning, Ling Chengyan went to the police station again to inquire and learned that the three people who beat up the kids hadn’t been caught yet.

Ling Chengyan left the police station without a word and went directly to the north of the city to find Liu San.

Liu San and Dog had been in Huicheng for a year; half a year ago, Da Xiong quit his temp job and also came to Huicheng. The three rented a yard in the north of the city, wholesaling various items, from scarves and silk to electronic watches, and now their designed products cover several major categories, dozens of types. More than half of the novel items in the Huicheng market are sold by these brothers.

They come into contact with many people, having a network of relationships on the streets, and Ling Chengyan came to them to find out who was responsible for attacking the kids.

Dog saw Ling Chengyan from a distance and jumped up, ran towards her with a full grin: "Sis Yan, what brings you here?"

"Why are you alone? Where are Da Xiong and San?" Ling Chengyan got off the bicycle and asked.

Dog quickly came over to take the bicycle from Ling Chengyan’s hand while answering, "They’re all here, all in the yard. Before New Year’s, Xiao Xi also moved in."

At the last sentence, Dog raised his hand to touch his face as if to wipe off some of the overly bright smile.

Ling Chengyan glanced at him and said lightly, "Xiao Xi is our younger sister, you better watch out for her, don’t let anyone bully her."

Dog’s face stiffened, trying to smile but couldn’t quite manage it, reluctantly agreed: "Alright."

Although Liu San and Dog had never visited the Ling Family’s place, Ling Chengyan knew about their daily lives.

As their status changed and their pockets filled, Dog inevitably showed a bit of arrogance, though he hadn’t done anything too outrageous yet, he still needed to be reminded.

Once inside, Liu San, Da Xiong, and Xiao Xi heard the commotion and came out to greet her.

Ling Chengyan entered the house with them and looked around, especially at Xiao Xi’s living space.

The yard had three main rooms; Liu San and Dog stayed in the east room, Da Xiong in the west, and Xiao Xi in the east annex, with the west annex rooms used as storage.

Xiao Xi’s room had a bright and a dark side, a stove with a small heated bed, and complete furniture and supplies.

Ling Chengyan looked around and nodded silently; at least Liu San and Dog didn’t mistreat Xiao Xi.

She came out, sat in the main room, drank a couple of sips of tea, and said, "You guys should prepare after the New Year, watch the trends... Also, check if there are any houses for sale. Renting all the time is unsettling; having your own house would allow the household registration to be transferred here, and it’ll be easier for children to attend school after marriage."

Liu San turned to look at Dog, smiled, and agreed. Since following Ling Chengyan, their lives had changed drastically; they were no longer the street hooligans anyone could bully. Previously, nobody dared to imagine they would establish themselves in Huicheng, and everyone would call them "bro."

Ling Chengyan gave some instructions, and Liu San, who was managing the accounts, handed over the post-New Year account book to Ling Chengyan.

Ling Chengyan flipped through the pages filled with numerous neat notes, sighed silently. These guys hadn’t read much, despite her pushing them to practice writing, their writing barely legible, but the accounts were still not clear and detailed... Well, that matter needs to be postponed too; once the policy is clearer, they should seek a retired accountant to help manage the accounts.

After instructing on official matters, Ling Chengyan mentioned the incident with the kids, and the most stable one, Liu San, was the first to explode: "Daring to lay hands on the kids, who has such guts?"

Ling Chengyan waved her hand to stop the three who were getting a bit agitated, saying, "Before the New Year, someone tried to steal a bicycle and was caught by me... I reckon it’s related, you guys find out, just identify the people involved, I’ll handle the rest."

Liu San, Dog, and Da Xiong, initially ready to step up, suddenly shrank back.

When Sis Yan quietly said ’I’ll handle it,’ they could feel a strong sense of danger, akin to the calm before a storm. At this moment, the more subdued her tone, the more worried they were for those ignorant individuals.

Heh, they really wanted to see Sis Yan dealing with those guys.

Hongbing recovered quickly, stayed two nights in the hospital, showing no obvious symptoms, and the doctor allowed discharge, advising rest at home for a few more days, avoiding strenuous activities.

Hong Ming and Hong Liang were taken back by their second cousin, while Hongling stayed at the warehouse with Hongbing, Hong Zhi and Xiaoyu lived in the small inner room, and Xiao Xing moved to the master bedroom to sleep with mom and brother. Wang Liansheng once again found himself on the small bed in the outer room.

Hongbing’s issue was temporarily resolved, and the family began focusing on Hongling and Hong Zhi, the sisters. During the day, Ling Chengyan and her husband worked, while Zheng Xiaotian came to watch the crowd of kids and secretly discussed Hongling’s situation with Ling Chengyan.

Li Xiaoxia, the wife of the third son from the second branch, had been beaten, but she finally secured the brigade’s women’s director post and caught the eye of the commune director responsible for the position, Zhao Hongqi, who seemed particularly fond of her work, showing great enthusiasm, sending all the women except for Zheng Xiaotian early to the commune health center.

Zhao Hongqi’s three-year-old only son died in spring due to ingesting poisonous grass, his wife couldn’t bear the blow and went crazy, shortly after she drowned in the reservoir, leaving behind two daughters, one nine and the other six years old.

Widowed in middle age, Zhao Hongqi, having set his sights on Hongling, dared to have Li Xiaoxia propose marriage. Li Xiaoxia was chased away with sticks by the eldest aunt and cousin’s wife.

Since the incident, Hongling hasn’t dared to leave home, hiding inside all the time.

But no one wants to offend the commune’s director, so the families originally interested in Hongling’s hand dare not visit anymore.
