Before Xia Qianqian could say anything, Old Man Xia said angrily, "Xia Qianqian, you are so heartless that you actually did such a cruel thing to your own uncle!"
"I didn't." Xia Qianqian's eyes were full of innocence. "I didn't even see Uncle Three today. Besides, it was only five in the morning when I went to the market. How could I have run into Uncle Two and Uncle Three at that time?"
"Let's go to the market too." Xia Dinghai's eyes flashed.
Xia Qianqian thought of the lantern she saw on the road this morning and asked in confusion, "Were you the ones holding the lantern this morning?"
Xia Dinghai didn't know what the lantern bearer was, and was afraid that Xia Qianqian was deliberately trying to trick him, so he didn't dare to answer. He just said, "Xia Qianqian, everyone in the village knows that you are very strong, and a few men are no match for you. We in the Xia family tried to stop you from burning tiles at first, but then we didn't do anything about it. Now that you've been burned to tiles, why are you still trying to harm us? Do you want to kill me and your third uncle so that you can take over everything in the Xia family?"
"Uncle, you are getting more and more ridiculous. I don't even care about the little property your Xia family has." Xia Qianqian was angry and amused. Apart from the mansion, what else in the Xia family was worthy of her covetousness
"Anyway, your third uncle is paralyzed now, you have to take responsibility." Old Man Xia cleared his throat, "Xia Qianqian, come home with us immediately, and you will take over your third uncle's job from now on!"
Fan Ming said, "No, this matter has not been clarified yet. Xia Qianqian said that she did not hit anyone."
"My third son is paralyzed!" Old Man Xia roared.
"Then you can't prove that it was Xia Qianqian who did it."
"I... saw it!" Xia Dinghai pointed at Xia Qianqian, "When I fell, I was still somewhat conscious and saw that it was her!"
Xia Qianqian understood that this was a frame-up. The Xia family just wanted her to go back and be a free laborer!
They wouldn't really make Third Uncle a paraplegic in order to blackmail her. As long as they could prove that Third Uncle was not paralyzed, she would have nothing to worry about.
"Where are my mother and my sister?" Xia Qianqian asked.
Fan Ming said: "Your second aunt asked them to go home and help pickle tofu. Don't worry, they have no right to detain anyone."
Xia Qianqian felt relieved and said, "Since Third Uncle is paralyzed, let's go check it out first."
"Your third uncle doesn't want to see you now!" Old Man Xia roared.
Xia Qianqian smiled when she heard this: "Grandpa, my third uncle is not paralyzed at all, right?"
"He's paralyzed. We've asked a doctor to check him out, and the village chief saw it with his own eyes. Your third aunt fainted twice from crying, and they said they never want to see you again in their lifetime," said Old Man Xia.
"I don't believe it!" Xia Qianqian turned to Fan Ming and said, "Village Chief, I don't believe my third uncle is really paralyzed. They are framing me, and their methods are low-level!"
Old Man Xia's face flushed with anger: "The man is paralyzed, what else do you want?"
"I want to verify it myself. If my third uncle is really paralyzed, I will go back to the Xia family and work like a slave for you all my life!" Xia Qianqian said loudly.
Fan Ming stroked his beard and said, "Xia Qianqian is right. Let's go see Xia Dingfeng again."
"She went there just to deliberately provoke my third child. If she makes him angry to death..."
"I'll pay!"
Xia Qianqian interrupted Old Man Xia before he could finish speaking.
"You want to compensate? How are you going to compensate?" Old man Xia waved his sleeves. The more he disagreed with Xia Qianqian going to see Xia Dingfeng, the more it proved that he had something to hide.
Even Fan Ming could see this thought.
Fan Ming said with a gloomy face: "I am the village chief. Since you have come to me, I have to take care of it. Now let's go see Xia Dingfeng to see if he is paralyzed!"
