Chapter 72: I'll give you all the chances
He can shut up one or two people, but that doesn't mean he has the ability to shut up half the people in the village.
Liu's father hated Liu Yingying so much that he thought he had done a sin for eight hundred lifetimes to have a daughter like Liu Yingying. Not only did she cause trouble, but now he had to help her clean up the mess.
Father Liu knew clearly in his heart that it must have been Liu Yingying who did it.
The reactions of Jiang Xian and Liu Yingying showed that Jiang Xian was definitely not lying in this matter.
It really happened.
Liu Yingying was jealous of Jiang Xian, so she pushed her into the river and tried to drown her.
Father Liu couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart. If Jiang Xian was really drowned, then Liu Yingying would have taken a life.
How did she do it, being so nonchalant, as if nothing had happened?
Is this really the daughter he has spoiled for nearly twenty years, the one he feels is too kind to even step on an ant to death, and whom he feels is so kind that he cannot even lift her?
Father Liu couldn't be blamed for thinking this way. After all, all children are good, even if they are as terrible as Liu Yingying.
Father Liu was unwilling to admit it in his heart. He just felt that his daughter was blinded by jealousy and did such a wrong thing.
As long as there are no casualties, there is still hope for this matter to turn around.
Father Liu felt that although the villagers in this village had a bad opinion of his daughter.
He just thought it was just a fight between children, although his girl usually liked to act unreasonably and bully the weak and fear the strong.
As a little girl, it’s harmless to be a little spoiled. As long as her intentions are good, there is no problem.
Before this incident happened, Liu's father always thought that Liu Yingying was a kind and good child.
But now that it has happened, even if he is unwilling to admit that his daughter has been raised astray, he can only accept his fate and clean up the mess for Liu Yingying.
If Jiang Xian gives her some benefits, maybe he can shut her up.
The biggest problem lies with the villagers.
To be honest, Father Liu never took Jiang Xian seriously from the beginning to the end. Even though she had married Lu Bin, he felt that the Lu family was easy to control. If things really didn't work out, he would just give more to the Lu family when distributing food in the village.
The Lu family is so poor that even having enough food is a problem. Faced with such generous benefits, they will naturally know how to make choices.
Anyway, this thing has already happened, and Jiang Xian was not injured. Which is more important? On the one hand, it is something that can be easily covered up, and on the other hand, it is food that can be eaten for half a year. He doesn't believe that the Lu family will not be tempted by this food.
After all, it is so difficult to make money nowadays.
Father Liu was also aware of the Lu family's situation. Lu Bin's parents needed to take medicine and see a doctor all year round, which cost a lot of money.
Their family had already split up a long time ago, and it was obviously impossible to bear such a huge expense relying solely on the labor of Lu Bin.
If I could cover their food expenses for half a year, it would reduce a lot of their burden.
He just didn't believe that Lu Bin wouldn't be tempted.
He just didn't believe that in front of his wife and parents, Lu Bin would insist on choosing Jiang Xian, the wife who had just received the marriage certificate.
In Liu's father's heart, he believes that no matter how good the relationship between a husband and wife is, it is not more important than parents. After all, filial piety should be put first, and everything else is secondary.
If he were the person involved in this matter, he would definitely choose half a year's worth of food without hesitation.
As for Liu Yingying, she is still young and it is understandable that she acts impulsively. When the time comes and she returns home, he will give her a good education and will surely be able to straighten out her crooked character.
In just a short while, before the villagers who were watching the fun could react, Liu's father had already arranged everything in his mind. However, it was not known whether everything could develop according to his ideas.
The villagers who were watching the fun were all very shocked after hearing Jiang Xian's words.
They didn't expect that it was Liu Yingying who caused Jiang Xian to fall into the river yesterday. This really surprised them. They never thought that Liu Yingying, with her domineering character, could do such a cruel thing.
At the beginning, they all felt the same as Liu's father, thinking that Liu Yingying had been spoiled by her family since she was a child, so she developed that kind of tricky character. However, everyone admitted that she had no bad intentions.
If what happened yesterday was really done by Liu Yingying, it would simply shock them greatly.
That cannot be described as jealousy between children.
It's totally vicious!
If the truth was really like that, they all supported Jiang Xian in calling the police. After all, no one could accept it when it happened to someone with a life-threatening situation.
If it were them, if they put themselves in her shoes and thought about it from another perspective, if they were pushed into the river by Liu Yingying, they would probably have gone to the police station yesterday.
The villagers turned their heads to look at Liu Yingying, wanting to see her reaction. As a result, they found Liu Yingying standing there, motionless, obviously stunned by Jiang Xian's words.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this. Obviously, she was at a loss because Jiang Xianyi told her the truth.
If she really didn't do this, I don't believe she would stand there without saying a word to defend herself. Obviously, there is an 80% chance that she did it.
The villagers had the same idea as Liu's father.
After hearing Jiang Xian's words, some of the villagers who were watching the fun began to question:
"That thing was done by Liu Yingying. Why didn't Jiang Xian say it yesterday, but had to wait until today to say it? I still have doubts about this matter."
"If I remember correctly, after the accident yesterday, when Jiang Xian was rescued by Lu Bin, everyone asked her how she fell into the river. She clearly said that she fell into the river accidentally. How could it be possible that Liu Yingying pushed her?"
"This is obviously not reasonable."
As expected, before Jiang Xian said this, she knew very well in her heart that there would definitely be people who would question what she said.
If it was true and he wanted to expose Liu Yingying, yesterday would have been the best time to tell the truth.
By today, even if there is no evidence for what she said, no one would believe her.
The villagers can analyze such a simple truth, so I don’t believe that Jiang Xian didn’t think of this.
Besides, what she said was that she chose to give Liu Yingying a chance in order to make her realize her mistakes. This is not realistic at all.
People are trying to murder you, and you almost lost your life. Who could have endured it until now?
If it were them, they would have wanted to expose Liu Yingying's ugly face immediately.
If this happens once, it will happen again. Liu Yingying is jealous of Jiang Xian. She failed the first time she attacked her, but what if there is a second time? Jiang Xian was lucky this time and was rescued by Lu Bin, but what about the next time?
What if next time, I die in the river directly? Wouldn’t that mean I have no place to seek justice?
The doubts raised by the villagers gave Liu Yingying and her father a new idea. Liu Yingying reacted quickly. She immediately responded to Jiang Xian:
"Yes, I think you just want to frame me. You made up a crime for no reason and want to put it on my head."
"If I really pushed you, why didn't you tell the truth yesterday, but lied to the villagers and said that you accidentally fell into the river? I think there is something fishy about this matter, so Jiang Xian didn't dare to tell the truth."
"I was accused of such a crime for no reason. How could I possibly admit it? You know, if this crime is really put on me, it would be the same as putting a pot on someone's head. I haven't even married yet. If this matter gets out, my second half of life will be ruined."
"In my opinion, we should really follow my father's advice and drive Jiang Xian out of our village. Otherwise, we don't know who she will harm in the future."
Liu Yingying seized this opportunity and insisted that she did not do it and that she was framed by Jiang Xian.
Some of the villagers who were watching the fun already had doubts, so, at this moment, as long as she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, no one would be able to do anything to her.
She actually forgot one thing. Even though it was true that she pushed Jiang Xian yesterday, there was not even a witness around. Even if Jiang Xian wanted to accuse her and put her in jail, she had no evidence.
Thinking of this, Liu Yingying felt a lot more at ease.
Her father is still there. As long as her father can support her, this matter will not be as difficult as she imagined.
As long as she refuses to admit it, Jiang Xian will have no way to deal with her.
Father Liu was also obviously aware of this. After seeing Liu Yingying's eyes and what she said, Father Liu immediately started to speak:
"My daughter is right. Since you said she pushed you into the river, do you have any evidence?"
"When you frame someone, you have to produce convincing evidence. Otherwise, if everyone is like you, talking nonsense, and if people believe what they say, is there still justice in this world?"
"My daughter has done nothing wrong to you, yet you are putting such a big accusation on her head. If it affects her future marriage, I wonder if any of you can afford it!"
"I only have one daughter. There are so many people here today. I don't care whether you are here to help out of kindness or to watch the fun. I just want to say one thing. If what happened today gets out, don't blame me for being rude. After all, this is related to my daughter's reputation. I will definitely not show mercy. If, if I find out who spreads this matter, I will not forgive you!"
Seeing that Jiang Xian had no evidence, Liu's father simply started threatening the villagers who were watching the fun, telling them not to tell anyone what happened today, otherwise he would make them pay.
In this case, even if his daughter pushed Jiang Xian into the water and he almost drowned, Jiang Xian had no evidence and could only suffer this loss in silence.
In the final analysis, this father and daughter were undoubtedly relying on the fact that Jiang Xian had no evidence, so they were so presumptuous and did not take Jiang Xian seriously.
After hearing what Liu's father said, the villagers fell silent one by one. After all, they had all lived in this village for so many years. After all, Liu Yingying had grown up in their eyes.
After all, it has not been confirmed yet whether Liu Yingying did it or not. Therefore, before finding out the truth of the matter, they will definitely not rashly spread the news.
They all knew how important reputation was to girls these days. If, if this matter were to get out, even if it was false, it would also affect Liu Yingying.
That would ruin Liu Yingying's entire second half of life.
They certainly wouldn't be so reckless as to do so.
The father and daughter of the Liu family are indeed not very popular, but after all, they are from the same village and see each other every day. There is no need for them to ruin a little girl because of a small grudge.
After hearing the shameless words of the father and daughter, Jiang Xian's face turned slightly cold.
To be honest, she certainly knew that what she had revealed about Liu Yingying today was untenable.
There is no evidence, and besides, she decided to keep the matter secret yesterday after weighing the pros and cons.
That's because she has no evidence.
If she rashly accused Liu Yingying, no one would believe her.
Jiang Xian couldn't help it, his face turned cold. Seeing Liu Yingying's stubborn expression, and her expression of not crying until she saw the coffin, Jiang Xian spoke angrily:
"How do you know I don't have evidence?"
"Yesterday, I didn't tell the truth in front of everyone. I just wanted to give you a chance to reform. Now that I've given you this chance, if you don't seize it, don't blame me for being rude."
