Liu Chunhua was utterly surprised and bewildered by what she saw. She had never experienced anything like this before and couldn't understand why someone would exploit their age to blackmail others. Watching the old woman skillfully execute her tactics, Liu Chunhua felt helpless and angry. She felt this behavior was immoral and should be condemned.
At this moment, Xie Xuan came over, supporting Xie's mother and Xie Baoguo. Xie Xuan looked at the old lady, a sharp glint in her eyes. "Grandma, you just said that Aunt Chunhua and Aunt Chunling bumped into you, didn't you?"
Although the girl in front of her was extraordinary, the old lady was not afraid at all. She replied calmly, "Of course, who else could it be if not them? I am old and frail, so why would I hurt myself just to accuse them?"
Xie Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. She gently raised her camera and said firmly, "Really? I was just taking pictures of the street scene here. If I remember correctly, they were at least one meter away from you. My two aunts are really amazing. They could have knocked you down from a distance of one meter! However, if you insist that it was my two aunts who hit you, then let's go to the police station. I believe the police will give them justice."
Seeing Xie Xuan's frank appearance, as if she hadn't done anything wrong, everyone couldn't help but feel suspicious of the old lady on the ground. They all cast their eyes towards the old lady, their eyes full of doubt and scrutiny.
The old lady was suddenly panicked. She didn't realize that they had to go to the police station just to get two dollars.
In fact, she saw that Liu Chunhua and Liu Chunling were well-dressed and looked wealthy, so she had a crooked idea and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to extort money. After all, she only needed a little money. She had tried this method many times and it almost always worked.
Normally, people would feel pity for her when they saw how old she was and how pitiful she looked. Furthermore, most people had an instinct to protect the weak, so they would naturally stand on her side.
In addition, the amount she asked for was not high. If you really need to go to the hospital for a medical examination, the cost may be more than this. Although those who are blackmailed know that they did not hit her, some things are difficult to explain clearly. In order to avoid trouble, they often choose to spend a small amount of money to solve the problem.
Xie Xuan looked at the old lady with a half-smile, her tone tinged with threat, "Well? Have you thought it through? If you insist on going to the police station, and once it's proven that my aunt and the others didn't hit you, then you'll be deliberately blackmailing me."
The onlookers looked at Liu Chunhua and Liu Chunling, then at the old lady on the ground.
Hearing this, the old lady panicked a little, but still pretended to be calm and said, "I...I...I might have seen it wrong because of my old eyesight!"
"Big sister, so you really didn't bump into her, and she just fell to the ground by herself?" An enthusiastic aunt asked Liu Chunhua and Liu Chunling.
Liu Chunhua nodded: "Of course, we are upright people, and we have nothing to fear from our own shadows."
The enthusiastic aunt believed what she said frankly, and after hearing what the old lady said, she realized that the old lady was trying to scam her.
"Why are you still blackmailing others at such an old age? Is it because your children don't support you? Then you can sue them!" The enthusiastic aunt said to the old lady indignantly.
A trace of guilt flashed across the old lady's face, and her eyes were evasive, not daring to look at anyone.
At this time, people around began to blame the old lady.
"That's right. At such an old age, he still does such immoral things. It really brings shame to future generations."
"Yes, the current social atmosphere has been corrupted by these people."
"Oh, why are the elderly nowadays like this? We young people respect the elderly and love the young, but they take advantage of our kindness to deceive us."
"Yes, I met an old man last time. He deliberately fell on the road and asked me to help him up. But he said I pushed him down and asked me to pay compensation."
"Really? This is too much! How could these old people treat us like this?"
"That's right, how has society become like this now? Even the elderly are not trustworthy anymore."
Faced with everyone's accusations, the old lady felt ashamed. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Liu Chunhua and Liu Chunling looked at this scene, their hearts filled with helplessness and anger.
"This old lady is so despicable. She actually dared to blackmail us on the street. Fortunately, this auntie spoke up for us, otherwise we would have suffered." Liu Chunhua said gratefully to the enthusiastic auntie.
"You're welcome. I can't stand this kind of bullying. Don't worry, if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, you can always ask me for help." The enthusiastic aunt said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Liu Chunhua and Liu Chunling said in unison.
Amidst the discussion, the old lady ran away, feeling guilty. Her speed was astonishing, like a gust of wind, and she disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye. Her steps were light and agile, as if she were completely uninjured.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel surprised and confused. They originally thought that the old lady was really injured, but now it seems that she was just pretending to be hurt and taking advantage of others' sympathy to defraud money. This discovery made everyone suspicious of the old lady and also made them realize that there are some bad people who grow old in society.
This incident serves as a reminder for everyone: We must remain vigilant and not easily trust strangers, especially elderly people who appear to be in need of help. While most elderly people are kind and honest, there are always a small number who exploit their age and appearance to deceive others. We must learn to distinguish between truth and falsehood and protect our own interests.
