Everyone was shocked: "Qianqian, what are you doing..."
"My reputation has been ruined, I won't live anymore..." Xia Qianqian cried even harder. Who doesn't know how to blackmail someone? It's easy to learn and sell it now.
Liu was very thoughtful and immediately understood Xia Qianqian's intention. She went over and hugged her and said, "Don't cry, dear child. You are a good girl with a clean conscience. You must be strong."
"I have been framed. Who can prove my innocence?" Xia Qianqian freed one hand and pointed at the Jiang family. "Unless they apologize and compensate me for the loss of my reputation!"
Mother Jiang was so angry that she jumped up: "You shameless little bitch, who are you trying to blackmail?"
"You tarnished my reputation in public and caused serious harm to my young and fragile heart. Only by paying compensation can my reputation be restored!" Xia Qianqian said righteously.
Fan Ming said: "Old Jiang's family, you are wrong in this matter, you must apologize to the little girl!"
The onlookers echoed: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's faces turned pale and blue, and they said in a buzzing voice, "I'm sorry."
"What? Can't hear..." Xia Qianqian covered her face, heartbroken.
Jiang's father and mother were helpless and could only shout, "Xia Qianqian, I'm sorry!"
Xia Qianqian still sat there and refused to get up. She stretched out a hand and slapped him: "You must pay at least five taels of silver!"
"Xia Qianqian, don't go too far! You beat my son first, and you still have the nerve to ask for five taels of silver?" Jiang's father roared angrily. Five taels of silver can buy ten stone of rice, and Xia Qianqian is asking for too much.
Fan Ming said, "How about this. If both sides have losses, they can offset each other's losses. No one has to pay the other. Lao Jiang, what do you think?"
Father Jiang was used to being a bully in the village. This was the first time he encountered someone more scoundrel than him. He was so angry that his head hurt, so he agreed: "Okay!"
"Then let's go. Qianqian, it's getting dark and you should go home quickly." Fan Ming was worried about Xia Qianqian going back alone, so he gave his wife a wink.
Liu helped Xia Qianqian up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you home."
"Thank you, auntie."
… …
With Liu's escort, Jiang's father and mother didn't dare to do anything else. But the more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong. They were clearly here to seek justice, so why didn't they get a penny and even apologized to Xia Qianqian
"Old Jiang, that little bitch is definitely having an affair with the village chief." Mother Jiang stared angrily at Liu and Xia Qianqian's backs. The more she thought about it, the more she felt dissatisfied.
Father Jiang was also unconvinced: "Of course! The Xia family has been in trouble for a few days, and the village chief has not said anything to that little hoof. Today he suddenly came to help, busy dividing the family property and forcing us to apologize. There must be something dirty going on in private!"
"That's right. Only that idiot Liu was so stupid that he even helped to escort them. Ugh!"
"We can't just let this go like this, we have to avenge our son!"
"Wait till night and go quietly."
… …
Outside the thatched cottage, Qin was looking out anxiously. It was getting dark and she could hardly see anything, but her daughter hadn't come back yet. Could something have happened to her
"Mom!" Xia Qianqian saw Qin waiting from afar and shouted.
"Qianqian!" Qin finally felt relieved and stretched out her hand to grab something in the air.
Xia Qianqian and Liu thanked her, limped over to Qin, and held her hand: "Mom, why are you standing at the door?"
"I'm waiting for you." Qin said.
Xia Qianqian helped him walk into the house: "You can't see at night, and you can't see me even if you stand at the door. If I want to go out next time, you should wait at home. Don't go out. It's too cold."
"Qianqian, why did you go to see the village chief?"
"Mom, I want a piece of land. I plan to build a kiln to make tiles and carry on Dad's business." Xia Qianqian said.
Qin was shocked: "Qianqian, building a kiln and firing tiles is a big deal!"
