Chapter 30 Putting the blame on someone
“Big sister~”
He Jialin, who had a talent for acting, shouted loudly when she fainted, then nodded to He Jiadong, and carried her away with He Jiamin. He Jiadong stayed behind to thank the people who had helped and Jiang Cheng who had saved her. The people who had helped find her were all He family members, and seeing her faint, they forgot about what had just happened. They thanked Jiang Cheng along with He Jiadong, praising him highly, and finally a young man from the village helped him down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain.
Seeing her granddaughter come down but her grand-niece hadn’t, Grandma Shen was worried, if it weren’t for her old age and slow legs, she would have wanted to go up and find them herself. The same went for Grandma He and the others, just when they were staring at Shen Ping and asking questions, He Cao came down. The moment He Cao was helped down. He Cao’s mother, who had been hiding behind Grandma Shen and the others, rushed out like a gust of wind. She squeezed past the man who was helping her, grabbed He Cao’s arm, calling her daughter this and that, and loudly asked her how she encountered the wild boar.
Just when Shen Ping and the other three were burning with anger, Xu Xiaohua and her sister, like a gust of wind, ran to He Cao’s side, showering her with concern. It was as if they were He Cao’s parents, they were just short of taking a microscope to check if she was injured. The sisters’ actions made the gossipers take a closer look, and then someone boldly asked, “Xiaohua, when did you become so close to He Cao?”
“Xiaohua, luckily we all know that He Cao has no relation to your family, otherwise we would think that He Cao is your third brother’s soon-to-be wife.” “That’s right, the way you two were just now, we thought He Cao was related to someone in your family. Look at the way you touched her stomach and checked her up and down, you were more worried than He Cao’s own mother. Luckily your mother can’t move, otherwise the three of you would have kicked He Cao’s mother out of the village.”
The person who said this looked at Big Aunt He with a smug expression, if He Wanqing was there, she would have burst out laughing. The four people on the slope were stunned for a moment because of these words. It was Grandma He who reacted quickly, she scolded the two who said these words and then helped the four out of the predicament.
And Grandma He’s words also made Grandma Shen and Grandma He understand that He Cao’s family knew about what she had done. Thinking about this, the two of them exchanged glances, and instantly decided what they would do. When she was exposed and questioned, He Cao almost thought that someone had really seen her. It wasn’t until her grandmother spoke up, interrupting and helping her out, that she realized that this was just the villagers’ way of arguing. Realizing this, she straightened her back again, spoke to Xu Xiaohua and her sister naturally, and deliberately guided them to believe that everything was caused by He Wanqing.
This made Shen Ping and the other three feel disgusted. Then the three of them recounted everything that had happened from beginning to end. Finally, Shen Ping and the other three added in unison, “We were on top at the time, we didn’t know there was a wild boar at all. He Cao was the first one to see it at the bottom, and she didn’t say anything when she ran. If it wasn’t for the fact that we were looking for her everywhere and suddenly heard the wild boar snorting, we would have been eaten by the wild boar by now.” “That’s right, we didn’t lose any limbs, but now she’s not happy, isn’t that ridiculous?” Hu Yue glared at He Cao with hatred, if it weren’t for the villagers being around, she would have slapped her. She dared to use her as a scapegoat, she was really asking for it. When this matter was over, if she didn’t get even, she would change her name!
The three of them were clearly more effective than He Cao alone, now the people at the foot of the mountain were looking at He Cao differently. Although no one spoke out on the surface, their thoughts were the same, that is, to stay away from her, to avoid being used as a scapegoat. Seeing the villagers’ mocking and contemptuous gazes, He Cao was about to show weakness and explain, when she saw a few people rushing down from the mountain. “
Move aside, move aside quickly.” Although they knew that their cousin was pretending, He Jialin and the others were still worried, especially since she had been in poor health all along, they were afraid that she would get sick this time. Grandma He and the others at the foot of the mountain, hearing their grandson’s voice, almost couldn’t stand. When they saw the granddaughter, their grandson was carrying, Grandma He and Grandma Shen’s bodies went weak, they almost fell to the ground. If it hadn’t been for someone behind them supporting them, He Jialin and the others would have had to send someone over to hold them. “Move aside, everyone move aside quickly.
” Big Aunt He and the other three, supporting their mothers-in-law, asked the villagers to move aside, so that He Jialin and the others would have enough space to go home. He Cao, who was standing aside and hadn’t had a chance to explain, almost burst out laughing at the unexpected turn of events. Then she tightly held Xu Xiaohua’s hand, forcing herself not to laugh. Compared to the gloating looks of the few, Shen Ping and the other three were pale, frightened by He Wanqing’s current appearance. The three of them thought that because they had run separately, she had become like this, and the guilt in their hearts became even heavier.
When He Jialin carried He Wanqing and ran towards home, the three of them didn’t hesitate for a second, they followed behind. They completely forgot that they were still injured. Soon, everyone who had gone up the mountain to look for people came down, and behind them, they carried three wild boars, each weighing about 300 jin. The people who stayed behind were happy to see the wild boars, and instantly forgot He Cao’s words and He Wanqing’s injuries.
Everyone, without waiting for the captain to tell them, started to inform the people in the village who hadn’t come. Soon, everyone flocked to the brigade headquarters, completely ignoring whether they would kill the three wild boars today or not. The wild boars that had just been carried to the brigade headquarters: “……. ” Thank you very much, you are so kind, you even brought basins and chopsticks with you.
The captain and the others: “……. ” Looking at the people who were swarming in, the few who were still discussing killing the pigs tomorrow instantly decided to kill them now, to avoid any more trouble overnight. While they were happily slaughtering the wild boars at the brigade headquarters, He Wanqing’s house was in a state of chaos.
Shen Yu’niang, who had come back from the commune hospital to get things, was stunned when she saw her daughter being carried back by her nephew. After listening to everyone’s explanation, Shen Yu’niang was completely panicked. She followed the group into the house with hurried steps, and then she frantically went to fetch water to wash her daughter.
It wasn’t until she had cleaned up her daughter, who was covered in dirt, and changed her into clean clothes, that she sat down and wiped away her tears. It was all her fault, if she had come back last night, her daughter wouldn’t be like this today.
