The village chief’s wife’s words made Ning Jia’s expression change drastically. Ning Jia asked, “You, what do you mean? Did her family abuse my child?”
The village chief’s wife clapped her hands, her face filled with heartache and regret.
“Oh, are you her mother? You still don’t know, right? Let me tell you, this child has been beaten up since she was young! Her alcoholic adoptive father was fine if he didn’t drink. Once he drank too much, he would hit her! We saw him kick her from the courtyard to the courtyard door with our own eyes! She’s really lucky to have lived until now!”
Ning Jia could not help but measure the distance of the courtyard with her eyes, and her face turned even paler.
The village chief’s wife pursed her lips and added, “And Zhang Xin is famous for being lazy. Look at this clean courtyard. Look at the clothes hanging over there. They were all done by the girl. She’s been doing this housework since she was four years old. If she can’t finish it, they won’t give her food! We neighbors really couldn’t stand it and secretly gave the child some food. But if Zhang Xin found out, she would stand at our door and curse us!”
The villagers around nodded in agreement.
Ning Jia and Meng Tang looked at each other and saw the fire in each other’s eyes.
The village chief’s wife pointed at Zhao Dong and said, “And this little b*stard. He’s famous for being bad. Not only does he need Jiao to take care of him, but he also needs Jiao to do his homework. This black-hearted couple didn’t even let Jiao go to school. Poor child, she had to be beaten by this little b*stard for answering the questions wrongly! She’s too pitiful. Very pitiful child!”
The village chief’s wife shook her head, and tears were about to fall.
Meng Jiao felt delighted. She did not expect that by leaving a little later, her parents would know about her encounter. This was much more effective than what she was going to say when she went back with her parents.
Zhang Xin, who was at the side, panicked and quickly went up to pull the village chief’s wife aside and said, “Nonsense! You’re talking nonsense!”
The village chief’s wife pushed Zhang Xin away and said, “Ask everyone if I’m lying. Any of the villagers and neighbors can testify.”
“Don’t you think so?” the village chief’s wife turned to everyone.
Immediately, someone stood out and said, “I heard Zhao Dong beating up his sister in the yard yesterday. He said that his sister didn’t finish his homework for him, so he was punished by the teacher to stand!”
Another villager said, “Yeah, Jiao probably hasn’t had a bite of rice since yesterday, right? Yesterday, Zhang Xin scolded her in the courtyard and said that she would starve her for two days!”
Ning Jia held Meng Jiao’s hand, and asked with her trembling voice, “My child, have you eaten?”
Meng Jiao’s eyes were filled with tears. She shook her head gently and lowered her head again. Her aggrieved and timid look broke Ning Jia’s heart.
Meng Wei could not bear to watch anymore and said loudly, “Father, let’s call the police! Black-hearted people like them should go to prison!”
The gratitude that Meng Tang originally felt in his heart had also disappeared.
Meng Yao could not help but feel anxious. She pulled Meng Wei’s hand and said, “Wei, no matter what, they raised our sister to this age. We should still thank them!”
“Oh, this young lady is too kind. But you have to understand that kindness is for good people. If you’re so kind to evil people, you’ll be helping the wicked!” Immediately, a villager kindly reminded him, shaking his head as he spoke.
“That’s right. If you have more money, why don’t you do some good deeds? Even if it’s to help repair roads and schools, it’s also good. Why do you want to give it to such a person? If this isn’t aiding evil, then what is?”
Zhang Xin began to feel anxious. She grabbed the broom beside her and chased everyone away. She shouted, “What nonsense are you talking about? Get lost! Get out!”
The village chief’s wife was almost hit by Zhang Xin’s broom. The village chief’s wife lost her temper and snatched Zhang Xin’s broom away.
“I’m here to settle scores with you! How dare you spread rumors that my Bei is in a relationship with your damn son? Why don’t you take a good look at yourself! Do you think you’re worthy? I’ll rip your mouth apart today!” said the villager chief’s wife.
The two women were fighting. Some villagers came forward to help, while others came forward to pull them back. Zhao Dong saw that his mother was being beaten, so he struggled to help. The bodyguard looked at Meng Tang.
Meng Tang’s face darkened and he did not speak.
At that moment, a villager saw them standing at the side and could not help but shout, “Jiao was abducted by them back then! Don’t tell me you still treat them as your saviors?”
“That’s right! Back then, they had kidnapped this child so that they could sell her in exchange to be a wife for Zhao Dong! Do you still think they are good people?”
