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...
So later, when Jiang Li suffered a mental breakdown, she sold her younger brother and sister for 20 yuan. The few people who knew the truth felt both sympathy and anger towards her.
In any case, Jiang Li had almost become a public enemy in the village at that time, and would be drowned in people's spit if he went outside.
After the villagers caused such great harm to Jiang Li, things in the quarry took a turn for the better.
This was something they never expected. If they could find Jiang Zhaoping's body and solve the problem of his death, perhaps Jiang Li could really clear his name.
Seeing Jiang Li's expectant eyes, someone kindly comforted her.
"Perhaps your father's death really had nothing to do with you, and he was simply thrown off the cliff by these heartless villains."
"Don't worry, justice is in the hearts of the people. The comrades at the Public Security Bureau will clear your name."
"Actually, your father was fine at home, but the accident happened at the quarry. It's possible that it wasn't your fault."
Jiang Li felt much better after receiving these well-intentioned encouragements, but there were also some who disagreed.
Jiang Li's prestige in the village has been increasing recently, and her family's life has been getting better and better. Some people who have received her favors naturally stand on her side.
But some people who have no friendship with her and already dislike her can't help but say a few more words at this time. It's good to disgust her.
"Even if I had a daughter who did something shameless like this, I would be pissed to death!"
"You're so flirty at such a young age. You're disgusting people by getting pregnant before marriage. Don't think that just because you drew a few portraits, the villagers will worship you."
"That's right. We can't live with the disgusting things you've done. They've brought shame to our Jiangjia Village. You might as well just die."
Jiang Li felt very uncomfortable after hearing such harsh words that pierced his heart.
But she is not the silent Jiang Li of the past. Even if others dislike her, she will not let them have an easy time.
Jiang Li was about to retort when the village's famous gossip suddenly put her hands on her hips and started scolding them like a laser gun.
"You think your daughter is a good girl? She's been hanging out with some street urchins at such a young age. I don't know how many men she's slept with. Your daughter is so shameless, but you didn't seem to be mad at her to death. Why did you get mad at Jiang Li to death? You're so hypocritical!"
"And you, didn't your wife get pregnant before marriage and follow you? She didn't even get a penny from the betrothal gift, and every time she goes back to her parents' home, she gets scolded. Even though she's so slutty, you still seem to like her. Could it be that you just like that stinky smell?"
"Jiang Li's painting skills have long been known throughout the surrounding area. I don't know how much honor he has brought to our Jiangjia Village. Now when I go back to my parents' home, people always pull me aside to ask how Jiang Li from your Jiangjia Village can be so good at painting."
"What's wrong with someone as capable as Jiang Li raising two children on his own? Are they eating your rice or wearing your clothes? Is it your turn to be disgusted?"
Jiang Li had long heard about the power of Aunt Six's mouth. When she dealt with her before, she only learned about her power from other people's mouths.
Now Aunt Six is going all out, and she has silenced those who said bad things about her, making them dare not even fart. Jiang Li feels so relieved.
Aren’t the words that Aunt Liu wants to say exactly what she wants to say?
However, she is not as gossipy as Aunt Six, nor has she collected so much useful information, so her scolding may not be so targeted.
Jiang Li watched their faces turn pale and blue, their mouths opened and closed, but they couldn't say a word to refute.
They glared at Aunt Liu angrily, as if they wanted to fight with her.
Aunt Liu put her hands on her hips and glared at him fiercely.
"What's the matter? Did I hit a sore spot for you? You want a fight? Come on, I'm right here, kill me if you can!"
Aunt Six is not only a gossip, but also has a very aggressive personality.
Don't look at her being a woman, she is the kind of person who will fight with others at the slightest disagreement.
If anyone provokes her, no matter whether they are men or women, old or young, she will fight.
Otherwise, how could she, a widow, be so rampant in the village until now?
She used to say bad things about Jiang Li behind his back, and she was the most harsh in saying them. Jiang Li was despised by her as a piece of shit.
Later, because of the incident of helping her son paint a portrait, Aunt Liu kowtowed to her and admitted her mistake, and also spent a lot of money.
She has now taken the portrait to the town and framed it, hanging it on the wall of the main hall. Every day, looking at the faint smile on her son's face, she feels as if he is still alive by her side.
It was this portrait that gave her the courage to continue living.
Otherwise, on the day her son died, she would have run into a wall and followed him to death.
Now she is willing to take the initiative to help Jiang Li.
Jiang Li works so hard and is so outstanding, why do they blame her like this?
Jiang Li has a good temper and can tolerate it, but Aunt Liu has a bad temper and won't tolerate them.
Aunt Liu went to that station and had them under control.
Their faces turned purple, and then they looked at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.
But Aunt Liu was so tough that she had long been famous in the village.
And she has a sharp tongue. If anyone offends her, she will dig up all the ridiculous things her ancestors have done for 18 generations and tell them all about them.
Don't underestimate her gossip. She talks about many things in a very logical and logical way, and it's really hard to refute her.
Jiang Li had just been gloomy because of the criticism from these scumbags, but now seeing their embarrassment, he suddenly felt relieved.
It wasn't over yet, Jiang Zhongwen also popped his little head out of the crowd and squeezed in.
"If Jiang Li hadn't taken me out of the mountain during this quarry incident, do you think those imprisoned people would have gotten out alive?"
"They chased me all over the mountains, wanting to kill me and silence me. I was the only one left alive, so they wanted to kill me all."
"If I hadn't met Jiang Li, I would have died long ago. How could I have waited for the subsequent rescue?"
"Jiang Li saved so many people in the village. Even if she did something wrong in the past, it's her personal matter and cannot offset her contribution to the village."
"You said such awful things in front of Jiang Li. Wouldn't she be upset? Can you all speak with your conscience? Which of you is clean? You are not much better, how dare you accuse Jiang Li?"
Jiang Zhongwen was young, but his words were powerful and eloquent. Aunt Liu was the first to lead the applause, and most of the villagers followed suit.
"Well said, Jiang Zhongwen, you are great. You have expressed our thoughts."
"Some people just can't stand seeing others do well. No matter what Jiang Li is like, she has never done anything bad or harmed the villagers. On the contrary, she has helped the village a lot."
"You guys are going to criticize people like this too. I just want to ask, did you grow up eating shit? That's why you keep spewing shit out of your mouth?"
