Bai Jiaojiao ignored Ding's mother's words and said, "Didn't I make it very clear to you last time? From the moment you sent me back to Shili Village, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Please don't bother me anymore!"

"Jiaojiao, your father and I are in a tough spot! If we weren't truly desperate, we wouldn't want to bother you. Do you think your father and I are shameless people? No matter what, we've lived together for over ten years as family. Can you really just abandon us?"

Unlike yesterday, when she came to Bai Jiaojiao's place with a clear conscience and asked her to support them, today Ding's mother seemed to be putting on a show of family affection.

However, the days of "living together" that Ding's mother spoke of were too far away for Bai Jiaojiao. In the countless days that Ding Shifang tormented her, Bai Jiaojiao gradually forgot about them.

"I said I'm not going to get involved, and that's final. If you disagree, you can sue me. If the court rules in my favor that I have to take responsibility for you, then I have no choice but to comply. Otherwise, there's absolutely no way I'm going to get involved!"

As the saying goes, a broken mirror is hard to mend. Once a rift appears in a relationship, it cannot be repaired. Even though Ding Shifang is gone, Bai Jiaojiao still doesn't want to reconcile with Ding's parents.

"Jiaojiao, you weren't this heartless before. It's those country bumpkins who corrupted you!"

Mr. Ding put on a heartbroken expression, and even though he needed Bai Jiaojiao's help, he still maintained his domineering demeanor.

"Say what you will, but please move aside. I'm going home. If you dare to come in with me, I will definitely call the police. Otherwise, just try me."

Bai Jiaojiao walked past the two people into the house, but Ding's parents didn't take her words seriously at all.

Bai Jiaojiao immediately dialed the police station's number to see if Yang Fenglin's call that had just been answered that morning was still working.

"You child!" When Ding's parents saw that Bai Jiaojiao was serious, they immediately reached out to snatch the phone from her.

"I've already dialed! Are you trying to rob me outright? Mr. Ding, you should know a little about the charges for burglary, right?"

Bai Jiaojiao held the phone in her hand. Bai Doudou came down from the roof of the flat-roofed house. Although she was not even as tall as Bai Jiaojiao's knees, she stood bravely in front of Bai Jiaojiao's feet and cried out in a very clear voice.

"What's going on? Why is there such a commotion?"

Meng Hongmei stays at home full-time to take care of the children, and is usually at home.

When she first heard Bai Doudou's voice, she peeked through the crack in the door and saw that it was the same two people from last night. She was relieved that Bai Jiaojiao wasn't home.

She had heard some of what happened last night and roughly knew what was going on. She also felt sorry for Bai Jiaojiao, whose husband was not at home and it was really unsafe for a young wife to live alone.

As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Meng Hongmei thought about how her two children often took snacks from Bai Jiaojiao's family, and decided to go out and help them out.

She arrived carrying a spatula that had just been used to cook and hadn't been washed yet. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Bai Jiaojiao say something about "burglary," which startled her.

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, your big sister is here!"

As Meng Hongmei spoke, she picked up the ladle and pointed it at the two men: "If you two have the guts, go to the police station and file a complaint. What kind of person are you to bully a little girl here? Let me tell you, don't think you can bully her just because her parents aren't here. We neighbors aren't just for show!"

Meng Hongmei had lived for quite some time and could tell that these two were still putting on airs despite their misfortune, and weren't the type to go crazy and fight her. That's why she dared to flip the wok over their heads.

Bai Jiaojiao immediately chimed in, "I'll call the police right now, and we'll talk it over when the police arrive!"

Neither Ding's parents expected that Bai Jiaojiao, who used to be bad at socializing and didn't even have a true friend, would now have someone helping her like this.
