The 60s Island: The Daily Life of a Capitalist Young Lady with the Army - Chapter 84: Stop Pretending!

Chapter 84: Stop Pretending!

Looking at Bai Rumeng’s face, which had turned as purple as liver, the mockery in Xu Xiangsi’s eyes deepened.

She let out a light laugh, her tone dripping with disdain.

“Since you’re not.”

“Then why are you here with me, sticking green onions up a pig’s snout—pretending to be an elephant?”

As soon as these words were spoken, some of the female soldiers around them couldn’t hold back and snorted with laughter, quickly covering their mouths and turning red in the face from stifling their amusement.

“Sticking green onions up a pig’s snout”?

What on earth was that supposed to mean!

This Xu Xiangsi’s mouth was truly vicious!

But… it also seemed to make some sense?

Bai Rumeng’s rationality was completely shattered by this remark.

She felt as if the top of her head was about to be blown off by the fury of this humiliation!

Xu Xiangsi, however, had no intention of letting her off: “As for the matter between me and Long Peiye, even his own mother hasn’t said a word.”

“Yet here you are, this wild mother who appeared out of nowhere, jumping around more eagerly than anyone else.”

Wild mother!

These two words struck Bai Rumeng’s face like two sharp slaps!

This was no longer just vicious—it was a blatant, malicious insult!

“Ah—!”

Bai Rumeng let out a sharp scream, her eyes instantly turning red.

“Xu Xiangsi! You bitch! I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

She no longer cared about maintaining her composure as a cadre or her plan to sit back and reap the rewards. Only one thought remained in her mind.

Charge forward!

Tear her apart!

Tear apart that hateful, beautiful face that was mocking her!

Bai Rumeng, like a maddened female leopard, lunged at Xu Xiangsi with claws bared!

“Rumeng! Calm down!”

“Rumeng! Don’t be impulsive!”

The female soldiers who had come with her were horrified and rushed forward, grabbing her by the waist and arms.

But Bai Rumeng was already enraged, her strength astonishingly fierce. For a moment, the group struggled to restrain her.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Yet Xu Xiangsi, at the center of the storm, didn’t even bat an eyelid.

She even leisurely adjusted the angle of her lounge chair to bask more comfortably in the sun.

Her demeanor suggested that the commotion before her was nothing more than a monkey show to pass the time.

She simply didn’t regard these people as worthy of her attention.

Li Hong had finally recovered from the shock of the “Revolutionary Committee” scare.

Seeing Bai Rumeng personally stepping into the fray, she immediately regained her vigor, feeling she had to do something!

Pointing a finger at the composed Xu Xiangsi, she shouted with a stern voice and fierce expression: “Comrades! You’ve all seen it!”

“This remnant of Capitalism shows not an ounce of remorse! Stubborn and unyielding! Arrogant to the extreme!”

“When dealing with such an enemy, peaceful struggle is no longer an option!”

She paused, took a deep breath, and shouted the words she had long wanted to say: “We must resort to Physical fight!”

With that, Li Hong abruptly rolled up her sleeves.

Her eyes, like those of a wolf starved for three days, fixed fiercely and maliciously on Xu Xiangsi.

Her aggressive stance made it clear she was ready to take direct action!

As Li Hong’s cry for “Physical fight” echoed, the air in the courtyard grew even more tense.

Bai Rumeng, still held tightly by the female soldiers, flashed a venomous glare in her eyes.

Yes! Physical fight!

In the chaos, whose hand wouldn’t slip? It would be perfectly normal to leave a few bloody scratches on that seductive face!

Just wait and see how Long Peiye would still face a disfigured woman!

She immediately struggled to shriek in agreement: “Comrade Li Hong is right!”

“This unrepentant capitalist remnant deserves to be taught a lesson! She must learn how hard the iron fist of the proletariat is!”

Xu Xiangsi’s gaze lazily swept over these indignant women one by one.

One, two, three…

Including Bai Rumeng and Li Hong, there were exactly eight of them.

If this were her past life, even twice this number would have her making them cry for their mothers.

But in this lifetime, with this frail body…

She had just recovered from a fever two days ago and was still weak.

Moreover, the female soldiers in the Arts Troupe usually participated in physical training, each looking sturdier than ordinary girls.

In a direct confrontation, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Xu Xiangsi’s eyes began discreetly scanning her small courtyard.

Finally, her gaze settled on the row of red bricks in the corner of the yard that Long Peiye had used a few days ago to build the vegetable garden fence.

As the saying goes:

No matter how skilled in martial arts, one fears the kitchen knife.

No matter how good your skills are, a brick can take you down.

A kitchen knife would be too loud and could easily lead to fatalities – not quite appropriate.

But these bricks? Perfectly suited for self-defense.

Just then, a different voice finally emerged from the crowd.

Wang Ling, who had been quiet until now, tugged at Fang Jie’s sleeve beside her and spoke softly with some unease.

“Sister Li Hong, Sister Rumeng… is this really alright?”

“She… she is after all Battalion Commander Long’s wife…”

At these words, Li Hong’s anger flared up again instantly.

She turned around sharply and glared fiercely at Wang Ling.

“Bah!”

“What Battalion Commander Long’s wife!”

“With her class background, Battalion Commander Long should have drawn a clear line with her long ago! Immediately! Right now! Divorce her!”

Bai Rumeng added with a sinister tone: “As long as we thoroughly criticize and struggle against her today, exposing her true nature, Long Peiye will definitely divorce her for the sake of his own future!”

She paused, her voice full of malicious certainty.

“By then, she won’t be Battalion Commander Long’s wife anymore!”

Xu Xiangsi almost couldn’t help but applaud them upon hearing this.

Good grief.

This logic was practically a perfect, self-consistent closed loop.

Slowly, she rose from the deck chair.

Brushed off nonexistent dust from her clothes.

Then step by step, she walked toward Li Hong, who was shouting the loudest.

Her pace wasn’t fast, but carried an intangible pressure.

“I wasn’t aware,” Xu Xiangsi’s voice was clear and cold, like a mountain stream, “when our military’s Arts Troupe started taking on the work of the revolutionary committee as a side job?”

Li Hong felt a pang of unease under her gaze, but was soon overwhelmed by revolutionary fervor again.

She raised her chin high, like a fighting cock: “Combating capitalist ideology is every revolutionary soldier’s duty!”

“We must strangle all sprouts of Capitalism in the cradle!”

Seeing Xu Xiangsi getting closer and closer, that beautiful face she envied right before her eyes.

Li Hong’s eyes lit up, thinking this was a golden opportunity!

Strike first to gain the upper hand!

She let out a furious shout and immediately lunged at Xu Xiangsi with claws bared!

“I’ll tear that Fox spirit mouth of yours first!”

Just as Li Hong’s fingers were about to touch the collar of Xu Xiangsi’s clothes.

No one could have expected.

Xu Xiangsi moved faster than her!

In a flash, she abruptly dropped into a low crouch.

Her right hand shot downward with precision, fingers digging into the ground!

A rough-edged red brick was already firmly clenched in her grasp!

The next second.

She channeled force into her arm and swung upward with a ruthless, decisive motion!

“Thud—!”

A dull, heavy impact echoed.

The solid red brick landed squarely and mercilessly against Li Hong’s forehead!
