Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 162 - Lost Face_1
Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Lost Face_1 Chapter 162 -162: Lost Face_1 Huo Jinlan was suddenly exposed to a secret within her heart, and she didn’t react for a long time. Her face was a mix of red and green, and her once disguised eyes glared at Nan Fei with an intent so vicious.
Like a cold venomous snake.
The status of Principal Huo’s biological and adopted daughters among classmates and neighbors was vastly different. The last thing she wanted to reveal was her own origins.
Jiang Dechun and Zhang Fengmei were both oblivious to this fact, and they showed a stunned expression when they heard about it.
Even the surrounding stall owners, who were watching the drama unfold, were shocked wide-eyed.
Everyone did business in the same town, and who didn’t know Principal Huo’s family?
Everyone was really unaware of this matter.
Nan Fei took advantage of Huo Jinlan’s momentary dazing to pick up Zhou Yongxian and head for the hospital. Jiang Dechun and Zhang Fengmei hurried to follow.
Huo Jinlan finally reacted. She bit her lip, not willing to let this opportunity slip away.
If her grandmother ended up paralyzed or, even better, died this time, she could perfectly pin all the blame on Nan Fei’s parents. No matter how much her brother liked Nan Fei, he would never marry her then.
“Stop!” Overwhelmed with this idea, Huo Jinlan lost her senses and chased after them. She grabbed Nan Fei’s hair, trying to stop her from getting to the hospital.
Jiang Nanfei was moving quickly and with Zhou Yongxian in her arms she was suddenly grabbed by the hair. The pain felt like her scalp was being ripped apart, immediately bringing tears to her eyes.
This was the second time.

This was the second time she had been yanked by her hair since her rebirth.
With Zhou Yongxian in her arms, Nan Fei couldn’t fight back. Added that Huo Jinlan was pulling hard, Nan Fei’s weakness was in her grasp, leading to a stalemate. Just then, she saw Lu Qingtian, looking troubled amidst the crowd.
“Qing Tian.”
Lu Qingtian, holding a pig’s killing knife, squeezed out of the crowd, “Jiang Nanfei, do you need help?” Her family’s pork stall was close by, and she had a clear view of what was happening.
She hadn’t known earlier that the couple who sold bean products were the parents of Jiang Nanfei. If she would have known earlier, she would have surely helped.
Nan Fei gritted her teeth, and her voice was bone-chilling, looking directly at the butcher knife in Lu Qingtian’s hand, “Chop off Huo Jinlan’s hand. I’ll take all the responsibility.”
The people around, obviously terrified by her, unconsciously stepped backward, automatically leaving a path in front.
Without any hesitation, Lu Qingtian compliantly responded, “Okay!” After saying that, she swung the pig-killing knife towards the back of Nan Fei, where Huo Jinlan was.
Huo Jinlan was bold, and always looked down on Lu Qingtian. She believed it to be a mere threat. But seeing the knife approaching, she did not loosen her grip, but rather strengthened it.
As a smirk of triumph appeared on her lips, the imminent knife’s edge caused her to lose the smirk on her face as it started to approach.
The butcher knife, with its fierce momentum, became bigger and bigger in front of Huo Jinlan’s eyes, and Lu Qingtian’s once-nice smile became a brutal, ghastly grin that mirrored in her pupils.
From the moment her hair was grabbed until Lu Qingtian swung the knife, less than a minute had passed.
No one had time to react.
No one thought the situation would escalate to this point, even Uncle Lu, who was always watching the excitement, was so scared that he almost fainted.
” Ahhh!!!” At the last possible moment, Huo Jinlan released her grip in a state of terror. The knife brushed past her fingertips and sliced off her sharp nails in the process.
Huo Jinlan collapsed onto the ground with her legs going limp, and a smell of urine rose from the wet patch underneath her.
The dry ground absorbed the fluid, leaving a damp patch.
