Just as Wu Cuie was about to go over, she was stopped by someone.
In the end, Wu Cuie had no choice but to keep gesturing to Wang Lili with her eyes.
Upon receiving the message, Wang Lili immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense. You only switched jobs with me this morning because you saw this handkerchief."
“I have always treasured this handkerchief of mine. I can tell if anyone comes over and takes a second look at it.”
"So you just wanted my handkerchief!! You saw that I had hidden my handkerchief well, got angry, and deliberately kicked the dustpan at me."
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes: "Are you sure?"
Wang Lili felt incredibly uneasy, but she still stubbornly insisted, "Of course I'm sure!"
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled and nodded.
Wu Cuie realized something was wrong and was about to say something when Lin Xiaoxiao interrupted her, "Everyone, come and judge for yourselves. This morning, she was working just fine and didn't even glance at Wang Lili. Where did this jealousy come from?"
"I barely spoke more than a few words to Wang Lili, let alone stared at her handkerchief."
"And also, tell me, which supply and marketing cooperative did you buy such a precious handkerchief from?"
When was it purchased? How much did it cost?
"Where's the receipt for the handkerchiefs you bought back then? Show it to everyone and see if it's really true."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the three of them and shouted, "Why don't you say something?!"
Wang Lili's family: "..."
This handkerchief was just something they casually mentioned; they just made it up on the spot.
Seeing that the three of them were speechless, Lin Xiaoxiao sneered:
"You can't even say where you bought your own stuff. Isn't that just trying to scam people?"
"They dare to call something worth a few cents something worth several dollars!!"
"You're extorting money!! It's a crime!!"
Many people who knew what happened this morning also came out and said that they had never noticed that Wang Lili had such a nice handkerchief.
If Wang Lili got something good, she would definitely show it off immediately. So far, they haven't seen what kind of pattern is on the handkerchief.
Besides, Wang Lili's family is relatively well-off; at least they can all have enough to eat, but they are not wealthy.
They even went to the provincial capital to buy things? They only go to the county town at most; very few people in the village have ever been to the provincial capital.
Isn't this obviously extortion?
Lin Xiaoxiao continued, "When I kicked the dustpan this morning, you attacked me first. And you won't even let me fight back?"
"According to you, from now on the villagers will just stand there and let you beat them? And if they fight back, you'll start extorting money from them."
"So many people are watching us, and you still try to extort money from us like this. Wang Lili, you're not only wicked, but also shameless. You really need to get some serious education, or anyone who gets close to you will suffer. Extorting a few dollars from this person, a few dollars from that person, are you planning to get rich through this?"
"The villagers only earn a few dollars a year. How can they afford to be extorted like this?"
After listening to Lin Xiaoxiao's words, everyone felt that what she said made a lot of sense. They unconsciously distanced themselves from her family. They didn't want to be extorted. They could tolerate verbal ridicule as long as they could, but when it came to money, it was a different story.
Whose money isn't earned through hard work and points?
Captain Wang was relieved to see that Lin Xiaoxiao could handle their entire family on her own, and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, a member of the educated youth group stood up and spoke.
"When I finished work today, I walked near Comrade Wang's place. On my way back, she kept staring at Lin Zhiqing, muttering some curses, and saying she would teach him a lesson..."
The educated youth didn't say much more, but everyone understood what he meant.
The educated youth hadn't stood up before because everyone was afraid of their family, but now that Lin Xiaoxiao dared to stand up alone, if they didn't, they would be too spineless.
From now on, anyone can step on those educated youth.
Everyone now knows that this family's eating habits are so unseemly that the village must take charge and give them an explanation.
“I’ve seen Wang Lili’s handkerchief. It’s just a pattern made from scraps of leftover fabric from making clothes. It couldn’t have been bought in the provincial capital,” a young woman nearby couldn’t help but say.
"Would Wang Lili be out of her mind to spend a few dollars on a handkerchief like this?"
"But Wang Lili is always wicked, she's not stupid at all!"
When the young woman first married into the family, she was ridiculed by Wang Lili for a long time because she was fair-skinned. From then on, she disliked Wang Lili very much.
A girl who is so domineering and unreasonable should be taught a good lesson.
Someone here started talking about their family.
The remaining villagers hesitated for a moment, then a few more stepped forward to recount how the Wang family had bullied them. They said not only were they being bullied, but some families had even been beaten by Wang Er, and not only that, they had been threatened.
They said that if they went to talk to the captain, they would be beaten even worse in the future, and they became more and more agitated as they talked.
More and more people gathered around, and before long it turned into a rant session about Wang Sheng's family, or rather, a full-blown complaint session.
Wu Cuie realized something was wrong, her eyes darted around, and she started wailing, "You...you're trying to force my child to her death! I'm so unlucky! Not only was my daughter beaten, but I, her old mother, was also beaten!"
"Look at this! My blood hasn't even dried yet! And this is a brand new dress that I've barely worn! It's obvious that Lin Zhiqing is trying to bully this old woman!"
"I won't hold the handkerchief incident against you. My daughter can suffer a little loss, but you caused me to fall, so you have to pay for it!!"
“That’s right, you need to compensate me!” Lin Xiaoxiao also shouted.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Lin Xiaoxiao's words, even Wu Cuie, who had just spoken, was stunned.
What does this mean? This is the first time I've encountered someone voluntarily offering to pay out.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't keep them in suspense. Instead, she pointed to her water bottle and said, "I was just drinking water when their family suddenly came over out of nowhere. This old lady even tried to hit me, which scared me so much that I dropped my water bottle."
"You guys don't know, do you? I didn't put boiled water in my kettle, I used malted milk powder. I just wasted more than half a bottle like this. You all know how precious malted milk powder is. Think of how much money I'll lose by spilling it!"
"Another thing is that I was a girl surrounded by three people. I was scared half to death, and you even tried to extort money from me. I suffered serious trauma, both physically and mentally. Your family has to pay compensation!"
"Give me back the money for the malted milk powder, and also compensation for emotional distress."
“If you fall ill because of what happened today, you will be guilty of intentional assault.”
