Chapter 300 I won't stoop to your level.
Tian Ying panicked for a moment: "In this weather, pork cracklings won't spoil so easily on the road, will they?"
"Of course, let's talk about the wall separately. Everyone has their own reasons. I think you got injured because you climbed up the wall, while you think I didn't clean it carefully enough and caused you to get injured by the wall. We'll see when we climb up the wall."
"Check if there are any bloodstains on the wall. It would be best to send the bloodstain sample to the health center for a thorough examination to see if it matches your blood. If it proves everyone's suspicions, please explain to me why you didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came to climb over my wall."
Tian Ying's face turned pale instantly. "You, is this really necessary? I'm an elder, can't you at least offer me some pork cracklings or lard as compensation? Why do you have to make such a big fuss?"
Cen Yan stepped forward.
"It's not that I'm going to make a big fuss now, it's that a black pot has been thrown onto my head, an innocent person! There are some things I didn't intend to say, but now that Aunt Tian has brought it up, I have no choice but to explain clearly."
"If I settle this now and give you some lard to fry, it would be tantamount to admitting that anyone injured in the corner of my house can come and claim compensation from me. At that point, whether intentional or unintentional, they'll all come to my yard. Wouldn't Qi Jingchuan and I be bankrupt from all the compensation?"
"Furthermore, I acknowledge that my family is responsible for the injury to your arm, Aunt Tian. But if you go back and say that you've injured your bones and can't work or do housework, does that mean I have to support you for the rest of my life?"
"Of course I have to take full responsibility. I injured my hand at your house," Tian Ying replied instinctively.
Cen Yan seized the opportunity and immediately said, "Isn't that settled?"
"Since you were injured in my house, and I'm expected to take full responsibility for your injuries, we need to investigate whether you were injured climbing over the wall to steal something, or whether it was caused by shards of glass falling from my hand when I was installing it. Let's clear things up so we can avoid future disputes, right?"
"If it's the former, I certainly won't tolerate a thief! Anyone who dares to steal in the family compound must be sent to the law enforcement team for strict prosecution!"
"Do you all think what I said makes sense?"
Cen Yan sought approval from the onlookers around her.
Aunt Tang was the first to stand up and take the lead in expressing her opinion: "Yes! Who would dare to live under the same roof as a pickpocket? Cen Yan is right, this matter must be thoroughly investigated."
"If she was thinking of stealing, then we should deal with her according to the law. If she wasn't stealing, then we should at least give Comrade Tian Ying an explanation and clear her name. Otherwise, people will just gossip, and other people's words can be deadly! They could ruin Comrade Tian Ying."
"I support a thorough investigation."
"I support it too! We can't have thieves in our residential compound!"
Tian Ying panicked completely.
She discovered that Cen Yan, though seemingly quiet and poised, was actually quite the troublemaker, never backing down when she was in the right.
With Qi Jingchuan standing behind Cen Yan with a dark expression, she was isolated and helpless, destined to gain no advantage.
If Cen Yan were to actually climb the wall to look, she would definitely find bloodstains, and she wouldn't get away with it at all!
"I'm too old for you young people to bother with me. Since you won't take responsibility for my wound, then forget it. This old lady doesn't want to argue with you anymore. I'm leaving!"
Tian Ying clutched her wound, pushed through the crowd, and ran away without looking back.
