Chapter 89

Xiao Yichen thought, “I won’t hold a grudge against you in public, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything in private. You bullied Xuanxuan so much before, it’s impossible for me not to seek revenge. Besides, am I the kind of person who has a good temper?”

Xia Yunxuan knew what Yichen was thinking. He was a scheming person, cunning and sly, but she liked that. She had the same thought. “We can pretend not to do anything in public, but in private, well, for example, someone might suddenly trip and break an arm or a leg. It’s not impossible.”

Xiao Yichen looked at everyone and continued, “I don’t want to wait until Xuanxuan’s life is good, and then some people come crawling back and say she’s heartless for not taking care of the elderly.”

“Where were you when Xuanxuan was suffering in the Xia family?

“When she couldn’t eat, no one helped her. In the middle of winter, she wore thin clothes and had to wash clothes for that family, her hands were frozen and cracked. Why didn’t you see that? Don’t stand on the moral high ground and condemn others.”

“If I hear any rumors like this in the village in the future, I won’t let that person have a good life. I’m not just saying this to scare anyone. You can try me if you don’t believe me.”

“I hope you won’t rely on your old age and pretend to be a respected elder when you’re about to die. I won’t fall for that.”

Xiao Yichen looked at everyone again, especially Old Man Xia, “Next, I’ll show you the evidence. I hope you listen carefully. Don’t say I forged it later.”

Xiao Yichen turned on the recording pen, and Old Lady Hezi’s voice came out, “Old man, do you think that dead girl is possessed? Or did she find out she’s not our child?”

“Before, she never resisted. Why did she suddenly change today?”

Old Man Xia said, “Maybe she’s resisting because we’re trying to marry her off this time. Don’t worry, a teenage girl can’t do anything. If she wants to break off the engagement, let her. When she’s alone and has nothing to eat, she’ll come back.”

“You’re still the smartest, old man. I wonder who this dead girl’s real parents are. The jade pendant she wore as a child was a good thing.”

Old Man Xia said, “When I picked her up, I saw that the little girl was dressed well, so I thought she was from a wealthy family. When her family came looking for her, I asked for a lot of money. But then, so many years have passed, and I haven’t seen a shadow of them…”

The villagers were shocked. They all widened their eyes in disbelief. It turned out Brother Yun wasn’t the Xia family’s daughter. No wonder they treated her so badly since she was young.

They thought it was because the family was partial and favored Xia Yunrou’s. But it turned out she was adopted. Even if she was adopted, they shouldn’t treat her that way.

Old Man Xia and Old Lady Hezi were terrified when they heard the voice. This was a private conversation they had in the room. What kind of thing was this in Xiao Zhiqing’s hand? Why did it record their conversation?

Xiao Yichen said, “How’s this evidence? No one can say I forged it, right? Now you finally know why that family treated Xuanxuan that way.”

“They’re not her own family, so they can cruelly abuse her? Isn’t Xuanxuan someone else’s treasure? If her real parents knew, what would they do when they saw you treating their daughter like this?”

Xia Yunxuan lowered her head and pretended to be sad. But her heart was filled with joy. Now no one could morally bind her anymore. Since that’s the case, it was her turn to take action.

Heh, she was so happy just thinking about it. She had to break Xia Dabao’s leg. She remembered how he used his smelly feet to kick the original owner.

He kicked the original owner until she was covered in bruises, and he didn’t treat her injuries. He forced her to work and didn’t give her enough food. He even cut her only piece of clothing and said she didn’t deserve to wear clothes.

At night, she would definitely get revenge. With her current skills, she wouldn’t leave any evidence. Even if the police came to investigate, they wouldn’t find anything. They would only think that this family had done too many bad things.

The captain also felt uncomfortable. He didn’t expect this little girl to suffer so much under his nose. He was a terrible captain.

Xiao Yichen said, “Captain, Xuanxuan’s matter has been settled. Now, should we deal with these people? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to have so many people watching here?”

“What if a leader comes to inspect suddenly? Seeing these people naked wouldn’t be good for the village’s image, would it? They’re so ugly, it’s painful to the eyes.”

The captain agreed. He looked at the group and asked, “What do you want to do? Do you want to report to the police or what?”

The adults didn’t say anything. Xia Yunyan and Xia Yunge said, “Captain, we want to report to the police. Someone must have drugged us. We’re not stupid. We wouldn’t do something like this with these two in the drying yard.”

“They look like this, even ghosts wouldn’t want them. Thinking about it now makes me sick. Captain, you have to do justice for us.”

Er Laizi: “Xia Yunge, what are you pretending for? You were screaming pretty loudly last night. It’s not like that. Why are you denying it now that it’s over?”

“Yes, I’m a toad, everyone dislikes me. But so what? Do you think you’re any better? We’re a turtle and a toad, we’re the same. Don’t look down on each other.”

“Besides, with your current appearance, do you think anyone else will marry you? If you want to stay at home and be an old maid for the rest of your life, then I have nothing to say. I’m not at a loss anyway.”

“Since you’re so unwilling, there’s no dowry. I was going to ask my mother to give you some dowry money, but it seems like I don’t need to now.”

“There’s no wedding banquet and no wedding. I thought we were all from the same brigade, so I would treat everyone to a meal. Since you don’t want to, forget it.”

“You don’t want to marry me, and I don’t want to marry you. You have such a vicious heart. I’m afraid that if I sleep with you, you’ll try to poison me. You even tricked your own sister who grew up with you.”

“Anyway, I’m putting this out there. If you want to marry, bring your clothes here. If you don’t want to, then forget it. If you want to report to the police, go ahead. I have something to tell the police too.”

Er Laizi was playing the role of a scoundrel to the end.

Mrs. Li heard this and said, “Tie Dan, why are you so unlucky? Your father left early, leaving us mother and children. You were sleeping soundly last night, and you were defiled by the people in the village. How are you going to live now?”

“I might as well die too. I can go to the underworld to find your father. It’s just that I can’t bear to leave you. I haven’t seen you get married yet, and I haven’t held my grandson.”
