35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
The Zhang Guodong brothers never expected that they would be beaten up before they could even say a word.
They have no way to express their suffering and cannot resist.
When the villagers were tired of fighting, the two men explained with sad faces.
"We've wronged Jiang Li before, and this time we came to apologize."
"After all, Jiang Li and I are relatives, so we can't make things so awkward. It's true that you're nice to Jiang Li, but you can't stop us from going with her."
"We're not here to do anything bad. We're sincerely apologizing this time. You can't refuse on Jiang Li's behalf. No matter what, you should give us a chance to meet."
The two brothers kept talking to each other, and their honest appearance made the villagers hesitate again.
Jiang Li has become very famous in the village recently. People admire her more and more and respect her more and more.
Therefore, Jiang Li’s affairs became the concern of the whole village.
No one dared to be careless, for fear of letting bad guys into the village and bringing trouble to Jiang Li's family.
"How about we take the person over there, and if anything happens, we can solve it in time."
Someone came up with an idea that everyone thought made sense.
"Okay, then take him over and see what Jiang Li has to say."
"That's right. If Jiang Li agrees to let him in, we won't care. If Jiang Li doesn't agree, we'll kick them out together. What do you think?"
In the end, everyone agreed to this suggestion. The Zhang Guodong brothers never imagined that Jiang Li had already gained the respect of the villagers in the village.
These villagers were willing to help her from the bottom of their hearts. If they dared to harm Jiang Li and her children again, the consequences would be very serious.
The two brothers were pushed to Jiang Li's door trembling with fear.
Before they could say anything, someone knocked on the door.
"Jiang Li, are you home? We've brought two people to see you. If you don't want to see them, we'll take them away right away!"
When Zhang Guodong looked up, he saw that the man who was speaking in a pinched voice and was extremely gentle was the one who had just beaten him the hardest.
Zhang Guodong clenched his fists and cursed silently in his heart: "Damn double-standard dog!"
Jiang Li heard the shouting, put the child down and came out of the house.
When she saw the villagers coming, she greeted them one by one with a smile, but when she saw her two uncles, she suddenly became cold as ice.
These two uncles are really good at enduring. She originally thought that after she reported the case, they would come to their house and beg for mercy soon, but she didn't expect them to hold on for a week.
But it doesn’t matter. Jiang Li’s main goal this time is to play the long game and catch a big fish.
Although the whole village can testify for her, what's the point of punishing the two uncles who are the first to speak out if Zhang Yuhua, the culprit, cannot be found?
Jiang Li had previously specifically instructed Zhou Xinming to just conduct the interrogation and deliberately not produce any concrete evidence.
If you do this a few times, their psychological defenses will collapse, and they will naturally come to you to make peace.
It can be said that their visit this time was completely within Jiang Li's expectations. She had been waiting patiently for several days.
The villagers quickly told her what had just happened at the village entrance. Jiang Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing it.
The villagers’ enthusiasm almost ruined our plan. I don’t know how long it will take for them to muster up the courage to come to our house next time.
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much for caring so much about the safety of my son and me. However, I do have something to say to them privately this time. Thank you so much for sending them here."
Jiang Li smiled and thanked everyone one by one. Jiang Li was very good at speaking, and with that nice smile, everyone felt comfortable listening to him.
"It's okay, it's okay. We're all from the same village. Isn't it normal to help each other?"
"We still have work to do in the fields. We'll leave now and won't disturb you any longer."
When the villagers saw that the matter had been settled, they all left on their own initiative.
After all the villagers left, Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guoliang immediately endured the pain and put on a smiling face.
They looked at Jiang Li with smiles on their faces like pugs.
"Niece, I came here this time because I have something important to tell you. Can you please let us in?"
"We really know we're wrong, and we don't have any ill intentions towards you. Can you just let us in and talk it out?"
Zhang Guodong's eyes were swollen from being beaten. At this moment, one of his eyes was bigger than the other. He hunched his shoulders and looked at Jiang Li pitifully.
Zhang Guodong has never been so humble to anyone in his life. This time he was really forced into a corner. As long as he was not sent to jail, he would give up his face and dignity, and would even kneel on the ground and kowtow three times.
Jiang Li looked at them coldly for a long time without saying anything, and Zhang Guoliang suddenly became anxious again.
"Jiang Li, uncle really knows he's wrong. Please let us in. We are all family. Can't we talk behind closed doors?"
Zhang Guoliang's nose was swollen and bleeding, and his ears were pulled red, making him look extremely miserable.
Jiang Li deliberately gave them the cold shoulder, just to see when they would get angry.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, there was still no impatience on their faces, and they kept saying nice things to please her.
Jiang Li opened the courtyard door and let them in, "Come in, everyone."
"Jiang Li, thank you, thank you, you finally let us in."
Zhang Guodong was so happy that he kept wiping away tears, and Zhang Guoliang was also excited with tears in his eyes.
Jiang Li invited them to sit in the main hall. He symbolically poured each of them a glass of boiled water and said impatiently, "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. I have to go take care of the kids soon and don't have time to waste."
Jiang Li's attitude made their hearts sink again, but the two of them still put on a smile and didn't dare to show any displeasure to her.
After several confrontations, they got to know Jiang Li's temper. He was a person who would only respond to soft words and not to tough ones. If they dared to be rude to him, they would not only be kicked out of the house, but would also probably be beaten up by the villagers.
In just over two months, Jiang Li has grown from a poor little guy who was bullied by everyone to a portrait artist respected by everyone.
Zhang Guodong and his brothers sighed. If they had known that Jiang Li had this skill and could live a prosperous life without relying on his parents, they should not have taken advantage of him for a little benefit.
"Niece, it's like this. I heard that you went to the Public Security Bureau to report us. Now the police have come to us brothers several times, causing great trouble to our lives."
"You know, we just wanted to check on you and the child. We didn't mean any harm. For the sake of our relationship, could you please go to the police station and have the case dismissed so your uncles can rest in peace?"
