Chapter 213 Reasonable Range
Chapter 213 Reasonable Range
Old Mrs. Liu walked straight towards the river.
At this time, most people have finished washing their clothes and are heading home. They also have to go home to prepare dinner.
Before they reached home, they ran into Old Lady Liu near Liu's house, who was looking for them to settle a score.
Hua Yingjun immediately pointed at those people and shouted: "It was them, they were the ones who beat me."
Old Lady Liu immediately stopped those people and yelled, "You conscienceless people, you are bullying my Liu family?"
"You dare to fight us Liu family members! I tell you, if you don't pay me this time, there will be no end to it!"
Hua Yingjun echoed loudly: "It's not over yet!"
Old Lady Liu cursed loudly enough and the distance was not too far, so Qiao Jinlan at home could hear it clearly.
When Qiao Jinlan heard what Hua Yingjun said, she almost couldn't help laughing.
What is Hua Yingjun agreeing with?
Did Old Lady Liu go there to stand up for Hua Yingjun?
It's all for the purpose of making the villagers pay money.
In Old Lady Liu's mind, Hua Yingjun's role is nothing more than exchanging money.
As for being beaten, that is where Hua Yingjun’s value lies.
It’s a pity... Old Mrs. Liu can’t get what she wants.
The women who were doing laundry in the village looked at Old Lady Liu in surprise: "No, Auntie, what are you talking about?"
"What's the beating?"
"We didn't hit anyone!"
"That's right, we were washing clothes by the river, and we didn't see your second daughter-in-law at all!"
"Aunt, you can't wrongly accuse someone for no reason."
The output of those people confused Old Lady Liu, and she looked at Hua Yingjun in confusion.
Hua Yingjun was so angry that he almost went crazy: "They were the ones who beat me!"
"They were at the riverside, and they beat me up to vent their anger on Qiao Jinlan!"
The women in the village disagreed: "You are going too far."
"We were doing laundry with Qiao Jinlan, and we didn't see you at all!"
"Nonsense, you guys were the ones who beat me up!" Hua Yingjun shouted unconvinced. She suddenly had an idea, "Call Qiao Jinlan out for a confrontation!"
Isn’t Qiao Jinlan timid?
Just right.
If Qiao Jinlan dares not to tell the truth, she will break the rules and will be eliminated!
Qiao Jinlan in the room raised her eyebrows. It wasn't easy. Hua Yingjun was actually smart, but...
Before Qiao Jinlan could put away her smile, someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard. Hua Yingjun shouted loudly outside: "Qiao Jinlan, come out, come out!"
There was no need for Qiao Jinlan to step forward. Old Mrs. Tian pulled open the gate of the courtyard. Her vicious look scared Hua Yingjun so much that she took two steps back and almost fell.
"Why are you smashing my gate?" Old Lady Tian questioned, "You Liu family members have nothing to do, so you always like to cause trouble, right?"
"Don't say that." Old Lady Liu came over and snorted disdainfully, "I just want your second daughter-in-law to come out and testify that my daughter-in-law was beaten by them."
"If you don't let your second daughter-in-law come out, you are guilty."
As soon as Old Lady Liu came up, she blocked Old Lady Tian's retreat.
Obviously, Old Lady Liu and Hua Yingjun had the same idea.
I just feel that Qiao Jinlan is someone who wouldn't dare to lie.
Old Mrs. Tian snorted, turned around and shouted loudly: "Second brother, come out!"
"Hey." Qiao Jinlan responded quickly and walked out quickly.
"Tell me, when you were washing clothes by the river, did you beat the daughter-in-law of Old Liu's family?" asked Old Mrs. Tian.
Qiao Jinlan shook her head in panic: "No, no..."
"Did you hear that? My daughter-in-law said no!" Old Mrs. Tian turned around and said to Old Mrs. Liu with her hands on her hips.
Old Lady Liu didn't believe it: "She said no, then no? Get out of the way, I'll ask!"
Old Lady Liu pushed Old Lady Tian aside and faced Qiao Jinlan: "Tell me, did they beat my daughter-in-law?"
Qiao Jinlan looked at Old Lady Liu in fear and didn't dare to speak.
"Just tell me!" Old Lady Liu pressed.
Qiao Jinlan quickly shook her head: "No... no one hit her."
"We didn't see her."
As soon as Qiao Jinlan said this, Hua Yingjun got angry: "You lied!"
"What lies are you telling?" Old Lady Tian had something to say, "Everyone in the village said they didn't see you, but how come you are the only one who said it was true? Are the whole village wrongly accusing you?"
"You guys are ganging up on me!" Hua Yingjun felt so wronged that she raised her hand and wanted to hit someone.
However, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body, which made her eyes go black, and she fell straight to the ground with a thud.
"Hmph, you have nothing to do with your job, so just pretend to be unconscious?" Old Mrs. Tian cursed with contempt, and then left.
Qiao Jinlan glanced at Hua Yingjun timidly, then quickly followed Old Lady Tian home.
The other people in the village also left laughing, and no one offered to lend a hand to help Hua Yingjun go back.
By the time Hua Yingjun woke up, it was already dark. There was no light in the house, and she could only see clearly in the moonlight.
"Awake?" Liu Shuiqing realized that Hua Yingjun had woken up and asked in a low voice, "Eat something first, are you hungry?"
Hua Yingjun nodded: "I didn't eat anything, and they didn't care about me!"
"Brother, they have gone too far!"
She had never suffered such an injustice.
"The situation is different now. We have to be patient. As long as we can defeat the Tian family, we will win." Liu Shuiqing was a little annoyed. "Junior sister, we are betting everything on this. If we lose, we are all finished."
Did she think it would be easy to negotiate terms with a secret realm?
"Brother..." Hua Yingjun was really aggrieved, "They all bullied me together!"
"They clearly beat me, but they still deny everything. How could they do this?"
Hua Yingjun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother, was Qiao Jinlan also punished?"
She always lost to Qiao Jinlan, which caused her to be suppressed by the secret realm.
It really hurts so much.
"Qiao Jinlan lied today, so she will be suppressed too, right?" Hua Yingjun asked Liu Shuiqing hopefully.
Liu Shuiqing said helplessly: "No."
"No? Why not?" Hua Yingjun shouted excitedly.
"It's late at night and you're not sleeping while others are still sleeping!" Old Mrs. Liu in the next room cursed.
Liu Shuiqing quickly comforted her, "Mom, let's go to sleep now."
There was no movement in Old Lady Liu's room. Hua Yingjun sniffed in grievance: "Brother, why?"
Liu Shuiqing sighed heavily. He knew what happened. He said helplessly, "Qiao Jinlan was afraid to lie, but her mother-in-law was there, as were other people in the village. They were all looking at her, so of course she was timid and followed their words."
Hua Yingjun was shocked: "Then she caused me to be beaten."
She quickly recounted what happened by the river: "Doesn't this break any rules?"
Liu Shuiqing shook her head: "No, because everything she did was within a reasonable range."
