Chapter 7 What the hell are you dreaming about!
When she found the Jiang family compound, she discovered that people were arguing in the yard and there were many people watching outside the yard.
Su Luo also squeezed into the crowd.
At this time, in the yard, the little boy who had been pushed into the pond was still crying. Standing next to him was a broad-shouldered woman who looked to be in her sixties. She had a kind face but her face was cold with anger because of the dispute.
Su Luo confirmed the relationship between the characters. She was the original owner's grandmother, Yao Guixiang.
What made her tearful was that not only did Yao Guixiang have the same name as her grandmother in the modern world, but they even looked so similar.
There was also an old man of about the same age standing next to him. He was the original owner's grandfather, Jiang Houde, who looked exactly like Su Luo's grandfather.
This book is simply divine!
It made up for her regret of losing her grandparents!
Su Luo, who was in the crowd, was in a state of great emotional ups and downs. She was filled with excitement and really wanted to rush over, but in this situation, she had to watch calmly.
Jiang Houde, wearing a gray cloth jacket and smoking a pipe, listened to the Li family's story, tapped his pipe, and said, "Our little six came back crying, saying that your daughter Erya pushed him into the pond."
Yao Guixiang protected her grandson Jiang Xiaoliu and argued with the other party, "That's right, it was clearly your daughter who pushed Xiaoliu, and you still have the nerve to ask me for compensation?"
The other party asked for fifty yuan and a basket of eggs as compensation. You have to know that in the 1980s, fifty yuan was already a lot of money.
The average monthly salary of an ordinary employee is at most twenty or thirty, and the Li family is asking for fifty. What the hell are they dreaming of?
The girl who pushed the person was Li Erya, the second daughter of Li Shunnian, a villager living in the east end.
At this moment, Li Erya's mother, Ma Chunhua, was so angry that her features were distorted. She cursed, "What kind of character is this? Is he immoral? He actually falsely accused our Erya of pushing him into the pond? My goodness, this is how you teach your children to lie! It was clearly our Erya who saw Xiaoliu fall into the water, and she kindly tried to save him, but Xiaoliu tore her clothes and even tore her arm. Our Erya's kindness has been taken for granted!"
Li Erya stood beside her mother. With her mother's support, she raised her chin and looked at Jiang Xiaoliu proudly.
Jiang Xiaoliu was so angry that her face turned red. She cried and shouted, "That's not the case! She scolded me, she beat me, she pushed me into the pond, she did it all..."
"I didn't! He lied! It was clearly me who saved him!" Li Erya retorted.
Ma Chunhua became even more furious. "My daughter would never lie. Your Xiaoliu is a liar to begin with. Can you believe what he says? Can you all judge for yourself? My Erya is such a well-behaved child. How could she possibly harm others? She helped someone, but the person didn't appreciate it and instead turned against her. Is there any family like that? Huh? I didn't want to say anything, but if that's the case, then Erya's clothes and the injury on her hand today will definitely have to be paid for!"
Based on the villagers' objective evaluation of the two children, everyone tends to believe Li Erya.
After all, Jiang Xiaoliu is usually naughty and everyone knows that he likes to play pranks, while Li Erya usually calls people when she sees them. She is polite and sensible, so it is impossible for her to harm others.
Everyone was talking at once, and almost all of them were on the Li family's side. Jiang Xiaoliu, who was wronged, was so angry that tears were streaming down her face.
Yao Guixiang and Jiang Houde both believed in their grandson and were unwilling to pay compensation.
The husband says he is right, and the wife says she is right. Both sides stick to their own opinions and the dispute continues.
Ma Chunhua started to act up. She was known in the village as someone who was not easy to mess with. "This is so unfair! These days, even good things get back at you! Do you still have a conscience? You're supposed to be a five-good family, and you even have a soldier. Father Jiang, you're a retired veteran yourself. How can you bully us ordinary people like this?"
Jiang Houde was a veteran of the Korean War and had his own principles and bottom line. "Erya's mother, it's no use for you to make a fuss. Was Erya saving someone or pushing someone? There are no witnesses. If you ask us to pay compensation, we won't accept it!"
In order to successfully file a claim, Ma Chunhua quickly asked her daughter, "Erya, was there anyone else there who saw you saving the man?"
"No, I saved him and went home."
Li Erya shook her head firmly.
But Jiang Xiaoliu said confidently, "Yes! Someone saw it!"
Ma Chunhua sneered, "You said there was someone, little brat? Who was it? Who saw it? Find that person!"
Jiang Xiaoliu's face fell. He didn't recognize the big sister who saved him at all. He was just crying at that time.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came, "I can testify!"
Su Luo squeezed out from behind the crowd, and everyone at the scene turned to look at her.
Everyone saw a completely unfamiliar face, a young girl with a pale complexion and a thin figure, standing quietly under the jujube tree.
When the wind blew the lapels of her light blue shirt and black trouser legs, it gave people a feeling of peace and tranquility.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing where this strange girl came from.
"Who is this girl? I've never seen her before!"
"You're not from our village, are you? You don't look that old."
"She said she saw it?"
When the old couple Yao Guixiang and Jiang Houde suddenly saw Su Luo, they were both stunned for a moment. If they didn't look carefully, they would have thought at first glance that it was their youngest daughter Jiang Yunlan who had returned.
But impossible!
The youngest child in their family should be 36 this year, but that girl looks only about 15 or 16 years old.
His face was pale, sallow and thin, and it was hard to tell what his face looked like.
In fact, Su Luo deliberately made her makeup look uglier for the sake of safety on the road. If she took off her makeup, you could see that she looked quite similar to her mother Jiang Yunlan.
Jiang Xiaoliu suddenly saw Su Luo, his eyes lit up, and he took his grandmother's hand and shouted, "Grandma, it's her! She's here..."
Everyone was looking at Su Luo. Ma Chunhua looked her up and down, but didn't think she was anything special. She asked casually, "Miss, you're from out of town, right? You said you can testify! Okay, come and testify for our Erya! Tell everyone everything you saw."
Ma Chunhua was convinced that her daughter was saving people, so she couldn't wait for someone to prove it.
Su Luo narrated the story in public, "I was passing by a pond and saw two children quarreling. The little girl first called the little boy a bastard and a wild child, and the little boy got angry and cursed back. The little girl was so angry that she punched and kicked the little boy, and finally pushed him into the pond. The child cried for help, but the girl said he deserved to drown, and just left him and ran away. I saw the child fall into the water, so I fished him out. This is what happened."
"Yes, that's it!"
Jiang Xiaoliu's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. Finally, someone could prove his innocence.
The villagers watching around also figured out the reason. It turned out that it was Li Erya who pushed Jiang Xiaoliu, but she turned around and said that she was saving people. How could this be possible?
Yao Guixiang figured out the reason and immediately looked at Ma Chunhua, "Er Ya's mother, what else do you have to say now?"
