"Xia Qianqian, you little bitch, you hit someone and then cursed him in a roundabout way. I'll tear your mouth apart!" Mother Jiang was furious and rushed forward to hit Xia Qianqian.
Fan Ming coughed hard: "What are you doing?"
"Village Chief." Jiang's mother was afraid after all. She pulled her hand back and howled, "Village Chief, please judge for yourself. My son has been beaten so badly that he can't move in bed!"
"So weak." Xia Qianqian sighed, "I just punched him in the face, and he just lay flat on his back and didn't move."
Father Jiang said, "Xia Qianqian, you have to pay for the medical expenses! At least two taels of silver!"
Xia Qianqian shrugged. "Go back and ask my grandma and uncle if they can give me a penny when the family property is divided. I don't even have enough money to pay for a doctor for my lame leg!"
The money was definitely not there, and the whole village knew it. Jiang's mother couldn't extort money, so she changed her mind and asked for seeds: "Then we will suffer a little loss, and you will pay for the seeds!"
"Impossible." Xia Qianqian flatly refused. In this era, grain seeds are very valuable, but Jiang Mu has made a good calculation.
"You little bitch, you want to beat someone up for nothing? You hurt my son, and if you don't pay us compensation, you have to let us fight back!" Father Jiang waved his fist. If Xia Qianqian hadn't been hiding under the eaves of the village chief's house, he would have beaten her up long ago.
The couple were both very aggressive and frightening, and the village head's wife didn't dare to say a word. Xia Qianqian was not afraid, and waited until most of the onlookers had come before she sneered, "Why don't you ask your son why I beat him?"
"Hey, you're justified in hitting someone?"
"Because your son wants to flirt with me!"
"You're talking nonsense! How could my son like you, a yellow-skinned, skinny, unlucky person like you?"
Xia Qianqian pretended to think: "Maybe, he is blind."
The villagers who came to watch laughed. The Jiang family was a tyrant in the village, and everyone had long been fed up with them. Someone said, "I remember Jiang Li went to the Xia family to propose marriage before, but was kicked out."
"Yes, yes, yes. I was scolded by Boss Xia."
"Doesn't that mean you've fallen in love with someone?"
The villagers laughed noisily, and Jiang's mother was so angry that she felt like vomiting blood: "Xia Qianqian, you little bitch, you scolded my son again!"
"I didn't, I didn't say any bad words. But you have been slandering me maliciously, saying that I am a jinx and a jinx. My uncle even said in front of the steward of the landlord in town today that I am not a jinx and that I didn't kill my father. Now you are saying it again, who are you trying to slap in the face?"
Xia Qianqian was very eloquent and every word she said made sense, making Jiang's mother feel breathless.
Fan Ming said, "Okay, stop arguing. Old Jiang, I don't mean to say that you should take good care of Jiang Li from your family and stop him from causing trouble in the village all day long."
"Village chief, you are biased! Why do you favor Xia Qianqian? What benefits has she promised you?" Jiang's father questioned, and with just one sentence he made the relationship between Fan Ming and Xia Qianqian unclear.
Fan Ming got angry and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it normal for villagers to go to the village head's house to complain? Your wife came to my house a few days ago. Don't your wife and I have an affair?"
How could Jiang's mother dare to admit such a crime? She quickly explained, "Of course not. Don't be angry, Village Chief. My old Jiang was mad at Xia Qianqian, so she said the wrong thing."
Liu said, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk! Qianqian came to talk to Lao Fan about serious matters, and I was there the whole time. You are just talking nonsense, don't tarnish the reputation of this young lady."
Xia Qianqian suddenly had an idea. She sat down on the ground, covered her face and cried, "I am an innocent little girl. How can I live like this after being said like this? I won't live anymore..."
