Father Jiang immediately said, "Village head, she admitted that she hit someone!"
"Yes, I beat Jiang Ming. But I had reason to do so!" Xia Qianqian suddenly emphasized, "He ruined my reputation, so shouldn't I beat him? A woman's reputation is like her life, and Jiang Ming ruining my reputation is tantamount to murder."
"You are talking nonsense. When did I ever ruin her reputation?" Jiang Ming shouted. "I didn't say anything. You are slandering me!"
Gu Changde said solemnly, "Jiang Ming, how can you yell in court? Speak properly!"
Jiang Ming softened: "My Lord, I am innocent. I really never said anything bad about her. What does her innocence have to do with me?"
"Jiang Ming, yesterday you said in front of so many fellow villagers that I was not innocent and that I was doing business in an unscrupulous way. Do you want to deny it now?" Xia Qianqian said sternly.
Gu Changde glanced at her again. Seeing her so imposing at such a young age reminded him of a saying: Women are as good as men.
"I didn't say that. You beat me and you're accusing me." Jiang Ming started to play dirty. After all, once something is said, it can be spilled. Who can prove that it was he who said it? Just refuse to admit it.
Jiang's mother also cried and said aggrievedly, "Village head, my son is a good person, eager to help others, never makes things difficult for others, and never insults or conflicts with others. It is really this Xia Qianqian who is talking nonsense. We originally thought that she was a little girl and didn't want to bother with her. But she is too much! Last month, my husband and son passed by her door at night, and she falsely accused them of being thieves and beat them up. They couldn't get out of bed for several days. Yesterday, my son was almost beaten to death. We are really scared, so we came to report to the authorities. Please, village head, make the decision!"
"Oh, there is also a previous story?" Gu Changde sat behind the desk, "Jiang, you might as well tell me all the previous stories, and I will make the decision for you."
Mother Jiang was overjoyed and pulled up Father Jiang's trouser legs: "The scars are still there. This must be Xia Qianqian who beat him!" She turned around and asked Xia Qianqian again, "Xia Qianqian, do you dare to say that it wasn't you who beat him?"
"I was the one who beat them." Xia Qianqian admitted, "But that night they not only wanted to steal my things, they also used aphrodisiacs! It was so dirty, and it was obvious what they wanted to do."
Gu Changde's face changed drastically, and he slammed the gavel angrily: "How dare you!"
Father Jiang pointed at Xia Qianqian and echoed, "How bold!"
Xia Qianqian really wanted to roll her eyes at him.
"The village head said you are bold." Xia Dingfeng walked in, worried about Jiang's father's IQ.
Father Jiang was startled: "Xia Dingfeng, what are you doing here?"
"Demand justice for my niece!" Xia Dingfeng straightened his back with a righteous attitude, "Village head, the three Jiang family members are gossipy and immoral, spreading rumors everywhere, saying that my niece is not innocent. Not only did they harm my niece, but they also made it difficult for the women of my Xia family to find good marriages in the future. Village head, please make the decision for Xia Qianqian and severely punish Jiang Ming!"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Jiang’s faces turned pale.
Xia Qianqian, her mother and her daughter had long been driven away by the Xia family. Not only did the Xia family not support them, but they also made things difficult for them, so they dared to bully them. Unexpectedly, Xia Dingfeng came here on behalf of the Xia family to seek justice!
Jiang Ming was also afraid, and trembled: "Uncle Xia, don't get me wrong, I really didn't do such a bad thing."
"Do you realize that you are immoral now? Why did you talk nonsense earlier and ruin your niece's reputation?" Xia Dingfeng spoke confidently, glancing at Gu Changde from time to time.
