Chapter 94: Refuse to Admit
Song Anping has already left, and this time she wasn’t so awkward.
Cheng Li walked outside, and when she saw Jiang Xue and Cheng Ying standing in the yard, she paused for a moment, then asked, "Sister Ying, why are you here? Do you need something from me?"
"Xiao Li, I do have something to ask you for." Cheng Ying glanced at Cheng Li and said calmly. With Cheng Li dressed like that, let alone a man, even she as a woman couldn’t stand it.
It’s really unclear how Cheng Li got her good reputation before. Whatever gentleness and kindness, whatever filial piety. Not only seeing people dressed like that, but also yelling at her mother, is that called filial piety?
Of course, she wasn’t here today to see if Cheng Li is filial; she came to retrieve Jiang Xue’s letter.
"Sister Ying, go ahead, what’s the matter?" Although she hated Jiang Xue, Cheng Li was somewhat cautious with Cheng Ying. After all, Cheng Ying worked for the government and had a good reputation in their village, and her words carried weight.
She wouldn’t offend Cheng Ying just because of Jiang Xue. So, even though she wanted to tear Jiang Xue apart, she could only hold back.
"Xiao Li, do you remember taking a letter from me last time?" Cheng Ying wanted to give Cheng Li some face, so she didn’t directly mention that she took Jiang Xue’s letter, but rather said she took a letter.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Li instantly understood why Jiang Xue came with Cheng Ying. It was for that letter.
However, now that she and Jiang Xue had fallen out, she felt she absolutely couldn’t admit to it, otherwise, Jiang Xue would definitely make a fuss about it.
