Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Climbing and Biting
Villagers still occasionally spoke crude words, and even Chiang Baohe would dare to visit Liu Caiyun’s house alone. By then, a mont of carelessness could get soone charged with hooliganism.
“Who could it be?” A woman not far from Chiang Xiao tugged at her husband’s sleeve and asked a question.
On hearing this, Guiying’s heart suddenly stirred, and she turned her head to look at Chiang Xiao.
The mont their eyes t, Chiang Xiao’s gaze darkened slightly.
Indeed.
In her past life, Chiang Xiao had been running a fever during this period, and she hadn’t participated in the incident when Qian ngzi led the villagers to the sweet potato field. But when the rumors spread, she could guess that it must have been Guiying who first slandered her.
After all, they had beco enemies.
“Chiang Xiao! It was you, wasn’t it? That small footprint must be yours! Qian ngzi spoke of the day you fell into the water! You were there that day!”
Guiying’s voice was loud, and when she suddenly cried out, all eyes were instantly drawn to her.
Although Ge Liutao had a gentle nature, this statent startled her, and she imdiately retorted, “Guiying, what nonsense are you talking about? How old is my Little?
She was so nervous that she squeezed Chiang Xiao’s hand tightly; in that mont, her palm began to sweat.
Grandma has a weak heart.
Chiang Xiao’s face turned remarkably grim as she looked at Guihua. Her large eyes, clear in their black and white distinction, were filled with endless cold luster.
“Aunt Guihua, because of Ding Dani’s attempt to harm , your family has already bitten
once. Secretary Uncle decided on compensation of five yuan and twelve eggs from your family to mine, and I know you’ve been holding a grudge. I followed Secretary Uncle’s advice and let it go, but it seems you still can’t stop clinging to !”
“Who’s clinging to you? Chiang Xiao, if only you were as good as my Da Ni, I wouldn’t bother with you. Why would I not bother others instead?”
Pfft.
Ding Dani is good?
Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh, “I wouldn’t dare be like your Da Ni, who gets upset and starts pushing people into the stream.”
Many here had witnessed the reenactnt of Chiang Xiao’s case just yesterday, so naturally, they knew what was going on.
Soone, trying to hold back laughter, then said, “Da Qiang’s wife, you should really teach your daughter well. It’s not good for soone so young to be so malicious.”
“Nonsense!” Guiying jumped up angrily, “My Da Ni was just careless! She has a good heart!”
Her eyes swiveled around, and she reached out to grab Chiang Xiao, “We’re talking about the scandal of that loose pair! It must be Chiang Xiao!”
Chiang Xiao quickly slapped Guiying’s hand fiercely.
“Slap!”
Instantly, five finger marks appeared on the back of Gui Ying’s hand.
She raged like a thunderstorm, but Chiang Xiao imdiately seized the initiative to speak.
“Niu Guiying!”
The girl’s trembling shout silenced everyone around.
Guiying disliked her surna, and the villagers were used to calling her by her first na, or as Da Qiang’s wife, or Da Qiang’s daughter-in-law. No one had ever called her so seriously by her full na, and even she was stunned.
“I, Chiang Xiao, have neither wronged nor resented you. Ding Dani pushed
into the water, but if it weren’t for your family playing the thief shouting ‘catch the thief’ and insisting on causing trouble at my house, demanding a huge sum of seventy or eighty yuan from my grandfather, I wouldn’t have taken this matter too seriously!”
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm golden hue on the slightly pale face of the young girl. She looked very thin, her small face no bigger than a palm, which made her eyes seem larger. The fiery anger dancing in the black pupils made her appear even more vivid.
Chiang Xiao was usually silent and spoke in a low, soft voice, giving off a timid air.
But now, she stood erect, chin slightly raised, like a delicate mountain flower that fears not the wind and rain, possessing her own unique ttle.
