Chapter 14

Everyone was scared: “Qianqian, you …”

“My reputation has been ruined, I don’t want to live…” The more Xia Qianqian spoke, the more miserable her cry became. Heh, want to get money from her? No chance.

With Liu Shi’s nimble mind, she understood what Xia Qianqian intended to do. She hurriedly gave Xia Qianqian a hand to get up and said: “Poor girl, don’t cry, you are such a clever and strong girl, you must not give up on life so easily.”

“I’ve been falsely accused, how can I prove my innocence?” While crying, Xia Qianqian freed one hand and pointed towards the Jiang family, “Unless they apologize, there is no other way to redeem my image!”

Mother Jiang jumped up in anger: “Stinky brat, do you even have an image to begin with? Who are you saying ruined it?”

“You tarnished my reputation in public and also injured my young and fragile heart. Only by claiming compensation can this problem be solved! “Xia Qianqian said in an upright manner.

Fan Ming added: “Old Jiang, this time your family is at fault. You must apologize to the little girl!”

Onlookers also echoed his words: ” Yes yes, you must apologize.”

The faces of Father and Mother Jiang kept changing from green to white then from white to red and green again, finally with an inaudible voice they said, “I’m sorry.”

“What? I Can’t hear… “Xia Qianqian covered her face with an extremely sad look.

Father and mother Jiang had no other choice but to loudly say, “Xia Qianqian, I’m sorry!”

Xia Qianqian was still not satisfied with the outcome and reached out her hand to show five fingers: “As a compensation give me at least five silver taels!”

“Xia Qianqian, don’t be so greedy! You were the one who hurt my son in the first place, now you want us to give you five silver taels? “Father Jiang roared angrily, with five silver taels they could buy ten shi of rice. This Xia Qianqian really had a mouth as big as a lion.

“Alright, I think both sides have lost a little, so no needs to pay for it.” Fan Ming said. “What do you say, Old Jiang?”

Father Jiang used to run rampant in the village. This was the first time he had met someone more shameless than him, his head hurt from just thinking about it, but he had no other choice, so he agreed: “Okay!”

“That’s good, now everyone should go home, Qianqian, it is almost dark, you should also hurry back.” Fan Ming was not comfortable with Xia Qianqian going back on her own, so he signaled his wife to go with her.

Liu Shi took Xia Qianqian’s hand: “Come, I will send you back.”

“Thank you, Aunt.”

…

With Liu Shi as her escort, Father and Mother Jiang dared not make any more troubles. But the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong. They came to ask for justice for their son. How come they didn’t get a single cent and even apologized to Xia Qianqian?

“Old man, believe me, that brat definitely has a shady deal with the Village chief.” Mother Jiang glared at Liu Shi and Xia Qianqian’s back. The more she thought about it, the more unconvinced she was.

Father Jiang was also dissatisfied: “Yes! It’s been a few days since the Xia family had an accident and I haven’t seen the Village chief speak to that girl. Today, he suddenly helped. That day he was busy dividing the family property for her and today he pressured us for an apology. There is definitely some dirty dealing behind it!”

“This idiot Liu Shi, she is not only stupid but is also helping escort back that little b*tch.”

“It can’t go on like this, you must do something to avenge our son!”

“Wait for tonight.”

…

Outside the thatched house, as the time passed, Qin Shi was getting anxious. It was almost dark and she couldn barely see anything, but her daughter had not returned yet. Did something happen?

“Mother!” Xia Qianqian shouted when she saw Qin Shi waiting for her.

“Qianqian!” Hearing her voice Qin Shi relaxed and stretched out her hand to search in the air.

Xia Qianqian thanked Liu Shi and limped in Qin Shi’s direction, holding her hand: “Mother, why are you standing outside?”

“I’m waiting for you.” Qin Shi said.

Xia Qianqian helped her mother to walk into the house: “With the condition of your eyes, once it’s dark you can’t see anything. If you wait for me, you won’t even know when I come back. That’s why in the future, if I were to go out, you must stay inside and wait for me to return. It’s really cold out there, so take good care of yourself.”

“Qianqian, why did you go to the village chief?”

“Mother, I wanted a piece of land to build a kiln and burn tiles. I want to take over dad’s business.” Xia Qianqian said.

Qin Shi was shocked: “Qianqian, building kilns and burning tiles is not a child’s play!”
