Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Hejing County is Safer with You
"Sister Fang, I was wrong. I'll buy some fruit later and come to see you," Xia Liu said, his embarrassment unremitting. These days he had been venturing into the mountains to gather herbs, sometimes even spending the night there, which somehow caused such a strong reaction from Fang Fei.
"Knowing your mistake is good. Hurry up and clean up, then come over!" Fang Fei said sternly.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Liu shook his head incessantly. To clean up and then be in the same room with Fang Fei was like a titillating joke he couldn't handle!
Grabbing a few chickens and tossing them in the car, Xia Liu drove towards the county. Before leaving, he had made it clear that he might not return for a few days.
This left Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman sighing incessantly. All they could do was silently pray that Xia Liu would quickly solve the problem of clearing the road.
Because Xia Liu had promised that if he couldn't find a development team to move the mountain this trip, he wouldn't come back.
Before reaching the county, Xia Liu was stopped by a traffic cop, and it just so happened to be Li Qinqin who stopped him.
"It's you again, kid! Get out of the car now!" Seeing that it was Xia Liu, Li Qinqin couldn't hide her frustration. It had been almost a month since this guy glanced at her naked while administering acupuncture, and this was only the second time she'd seen him since—how could she let him go now!
"Sister, please spare me, okay? I didn't mean to see you naked; it was necessary for the acupuncture," pleaded Xia Liu, feeling unjustly troubled. If only he had known he'd be entangled with this girl, he would have just needled her through her clothes.
"You still dare to speak!"
"Alright, alright, I'll stop talking. I'll call the county head," Xia Liu relented.

"If you dare to call, I guarantee you'll regret it very much!" Li Qinqin panicked when she saw Xia Liu reaching for his phone, luckily reacting in time and starting to threaten him.
"Let me go, you know I haven't done anything wrong."
"You might not have done anything wrong, but your car is illegal. You can't hit the road without dealing with all these violations," Li Qinqin said, batting her eyelashes and once again outwitting Xia Liu.
"Damn!" Xia Liu couldn't help but curse silently in his heart; after all, it was his own fault for offending this girl. Whatever, whatever!
"I don't want the car anymore. Can I take the chickens with me?"
"Yes, you can. But first, register your ID with me."
...
Xia Liu had nothing to say. If he had an ID, would he have bought this illegal vehicle?
Taking the opportunity, Xia Liu called Fang Fei to say that his car had been impounded by the traffic police, asking her to come and pick him up.
Less than ten minutes later, Fang Fei arrived on the scene, only to find Xia Liu and Li Qinqin entangled inside the police car!
Li Qinqin's colleagues had all distanced themselves quite far away; they were all aware of her background. Hearing her previous conversation with Xia Liu, it was clear that the relationship between the two was not simple, so they left space for the two to talk.
Fang Fei helplessly walked to the car and knocked on the window, then looked straight at the disheveled Xia Liu and Li Qinqin.
After being interrupted by Fang Fei, Li Qinqin let go of Xia Liu's collar, but not before she hammered him with a fierce punch.
Xia Liu was about to go crazy. Li Qinqin, without saying much, had dragged him into the car and then started to punch and kick him. However, her punches felt like cotton, which Xia Liu was reluctant to point out, pretending to be in pain.
This round, Xia Liu didn't lose out. In the cramped car, he managed to cop more than a feel, taking advantage of the chaos to touch Li Qinqin all over.
"Sister Fang, this jerk bullied me—I was by him…" After getting out of the car, Li Qinqin quickly took hold of Fang Fei's arm, starting to lament with a cry in her voice, but then she stopped short. The fact that she had been groped all over was something she couldn't share with Fang Fei, and it was too embarrassing to say.
"There, there, Qinqin, let's remember Xia Liu is our benefactor. Besides, he did not intend to see you naked." Fang Fei was a sensible person; it was her hand that had pushed before when Xia Liu ended up seeing everything, and if she did not defend Xia Liu now, he might blurt it out and then she would be punished by her sister.
"Hmph, some people are just ingrates. I was in bed for a whole month after getting those acupuncture treatments; you have no idea of the pain I went through!"
...
"Can you exaggerate any more?" Li Qinqin's face instantly turned into a scowl; she might have been impulsive about the whole affair, but that was normal behavior. To say she'd been bedridden for a month—that was definitely lying.
"Qinqin, go and apologize to Xia Liu right now." Fang Fei's expression turned serious; Li Qinqin really did need to admit she was wrong in this matter.
Seeing the change in Fang Fei's expression, Li Qinqin realized she had made a mistake, but she could not bring herself to apologize and just stood there silently with her head down.
"No need to apologize. Who made her have such a pretty, reasonable sister? Sister Fang, let's hurry and try out the Osmanthus Chicken." Xia Liu laughed cheerfully. He had only meant to scare Li Qinqin, but little did he know Fang Fei would take it so seriously. Still, this would make Li Qinqin drop her hostility toward him, and that would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
"Osmanthus Chicken? Sister Fang, what's that?"
"Xia Liu's chicken; we'll all try it together in a bit."
Li Qinqin stood there dumbfounded, watching Fang Fei's smiling face. Xia Liu's chicken, try it together, try it! What the heck was that!
"Qinqin, where did your mind go? It's Xia Liu's chicken we are talking about!"
"Sister Fang, please don't be so loud." Li Qinqin was nearly pale with embarrassment, and when she saw a few glances coming their way, she quickly grabbed Fang Fei.
"Hey, hey, Li Qinqin, can you not be so dirty? What Sister Fang and I are talking about is the Osmanthus Chicken, see!" With that, Xia Liu took several Osmanthus Chickens off his car.
"Ah! I didn't say anything just now, nothing at all!" Seeing that it was indeed chicken, Li Qinqin's face turned bright red, and she shrank behind Fang Fei.
"Giggle, well then, let's go, to Longyun." Fang Fei laughed, taking Li Qinqin with her into the car, and to her surprise, Xia Liu also got in after a while.
"Aren't you going to need your car?"
"A black car; it's unsafe and not up to code." Xia Liu had been considering changing cars for a while now, most importantly, he did not want to be on Li Qinqin's radar anymore, who knew if she would come up with an excuse to stop him next time.
Impressed by Xia Liu's forthrightness, Li Qinqin couldn't help but praise, "Way to go! Hejing County is safer with you around!"
...
About fifteen minutes later, Xia Liu, Fang Fei, and Li Qinqin sat in a private room. Fang Fei kept asking Xia Liu; after all, he had said he was rearing a bunch of chickens, and in less than a month, they were already ready for sale, each weighing between five and six pounds—definitely odd.
Xia Liu wasn't afraid to answer any questions; he had thought this through a long time ago, and facing Fang Fei today, he was even more at ease.
"Sister Fang, I believe words are superfluous. The taste of the chicken is what matters. How about we talk after we've tasted it?"
"Fine, I trust you wouldn't dare bluff me. If you do, then I'll just—" Fang Fei paused, making a scissor gesture with her hand, her gaze fixed on Xia Liu, causing him to feel a chill.
Li Qinqin had not spoken all along. She came to taste the chicken, and if it was different from what she had before, she would certainly side with Fang Fei and then give Xia Liu a hard time!
