As the saying goes, it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. The report was just resolved two days ago, and now such a huge accusation has been made against them. No matter how good the Han family's reputation is, they can't withstand this kind of turmoil.

"Xiaoxiao, how are you?" The people living here are all neighbors and know Lin Xiaoxiao. When they saw her face turn pale instantly and lose all color, and her brows and features were furrowed in pain, they were all frightened.

"You...you can't do this to people. Several of you are bullying a pregnant woman. If you have a grievance, you should report it to the police. What's going on here bullying a pregnant woman?"

"What do you mean by bullying a pregnant woman? If anything happens to Lin Xiaoxiao, she's carrying two children. If something happens to the mother, that's three lives at stake! Treating her like this is murder!!"

"They keep saying that officials are bullying people. If it weren't for people like us managing things, would the country have developed? This bunch of troublemakers, they've lived to this age and they're still like they haven't been enlightened. They should be arrested and given a good education."

Hearing the voices around her, all echoing her own stomach ache, Lin Xiaoxiao blinked. "Trying to smear someone with public opinion, huh? Well, you'll have to experience that firsthand."

Hearing the accusations from those around them, Li's father and the two men who had come with him immediately stopped their singing and dancing, and their eyes began to dart around at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao's pain seemed genuine, he immediately panicked.

Mr. Li stammered, "No, I didn't push her. She fell down on her own. It has nothing to do with me."

The aunt who was supporting Lin Xiaoxiao saw that Lin Xiaoxiao was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to respond, and she instantly became angry: "No? Everyone saw it just now. Xiaoxiao kindly explained to you and helped you up. If you hadn't pushed her, how could she have fallen?"

"That's right, I just saw it too, I saw your hand touching someone's stomach."

"My God, he said he was an honest person, but I never expected him to do something like this. What honest person would push a pregnant woman? He's harming her."

Seeing everyone pointing and whispering about him, Li's father shouted, "I'm innocent! I didn't! I really didn't push her. She came up to me on her own. I never intended to hurt her."

"Waaaaah... You're bullying me! You've already taken my family to the police station! I'm just a powerless commoner who came here just to seek justice. Who knew that I'd be framed so soon after arriving? I have no way out..."

Damn it, I was clearly in the lead just now, how did the tide suddenly turn? Aren't these powerful and wealthy people supposed to be the most cultured and polite? How can they bully people like this?

The men he brought with him also chickened out at this moment, and the two of them hid behind Li's father like quails.

If it's fake, that's fine; at most, they'll just lose. But if something really happens to this girl, it's not something they can afford to deal with. Originally, Li's father said he'd come over and make a scene; as long as he could suppress the others, he'd get paid.

Now, not only will we not see any money, but we might even have to put more money into it. If things go wrong, we might even end up in jail. Our whole family can't afford to go through this.

Seeing the two hiding behind him, Li's father became even more frightened.

“I didn’t do anything. It was her, she was trying to extort money from me. Look at my skinny arms and legs, how could I have the strength to push someone down? It was her who tried to extort money from me. They’ve set up traps before to get my wife and daughters arrested. I wouldn’t dare mess with someone like that.”

“I came here to seek justice, but I didn’t expect them to try the same trick again and drag me into it. I’m just an honest, law-abiding citizen who only knows how to work hard every day. I don’t know anything about these complicated things. I really don’t dare to mess with them, let alone push a pregnant woman.”

Those around listened to Li's father's words and looked at his thin figure, appearing timid and frightened, not like someone who would dare to harm others.

Was it really Lin Xiaoxiao's doing this on purpose? Was she setting a trap to frame them?

For a moment, the onlookers looked at this and that, clearly unsure which side to believe.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao had her eyes closed, she had been paying attention to the changes around her. Seeing that the current situation was not favorable for her, she knew in her heart that something was wrong, so she immediately pretended to be in pain and forced herself to endure it.

"Since you think I'm harming you, then let's call the police and go to the hospital for a checkup!"

"You despicable people! You were the ones trying to take advantage of our family, and now you're turning around and accusing me of putting on an act and setting a trap. What mother would let her own child act out a play?"

“I’d rather have a serious argument with you while I’m heavily pregnant than have anything happen to my children. I’m carrying twins!! What a blessing and luck this is. Who would be crazy to gamble with such a blessing and luck?”

Those around them realized that this made sense; what mother would risk her child's life? Lin Xiaoxiao was carrying twins, making her the luckiest person in the entire courtyard.

If this is lost, it's uncertain whether you can have twins again in the future. Who will suffer the loss? Isn't it obvious?

When Li's father saw that the people around him hesitated, he thought he had gotten his revenge. But when he heard Lin Xiaoxiao say that she would call the police, he immediately became scared and started to panic. This...this woman, could she really be in trouble?

It's really not his fault; he just brushed Lin Xiaoxiao's hand away and didn't push her at all.

He had a well-thought-out plan when he came: as long as a few people had a pretext, he could stand on the moral high ground to condemn them, forcing Li Qiutang and the Han family to bow their heads and cooperate in getting the person out.

But this was only the beginning, and then this happened. Instead of putting people in a difficult position, they're about to get themselves into trouble. What are they going to do?

Now he realizes that such families are really not to be trifled with.

His family was waiting for him to save them; if he got hurt, it would be the end of him. So he absolutely refused to admit that he had pushed or harmed anyone.

Thinking of this, Li's father seemed to have made a decision. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he glared fiercely at Lin Xiaoxiao, shouting, "I already said I didn't push you! Even if the police come and put a gun to my neck, I'll still say I didn't!!"

"Compared to you, I might seem like someone who likes to take advantage of others, but is that what I want? Can my living conditions compare to yours? My tendency to take advantage of others is something that life has forced me into!!"

“I admit I’m selfish and like to cheat and be cunning, but I’m also a citizen with backbone. If I say something didn’t happen, then it didn’t happen!! You’re all bullying and framing me with empty words. You’re pushing me to my death.”

"Even an honest man can get angry and jump up. I'm willing to risk my life to fight for justice. No matter how lowly I am, I'm still a human being. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

Hearing Li's father's heart-wrenching cries, many people around were moved and felt a sense of sympathy and pity.
