Chapter 99: It's all superficial
There is also a downside to lighting a kerosene lamp, which is that the room is not bright enough.
There is no comparison with turning on a light.
The sky outside was not yet completely dark, but the light inside the house had indeed dimmed.
If you want to do something in the house, it would be inconvenient without turning on the lights.
When Jiang Xian came in, because the environment was too dark, the educated youth could only hear noises coming from the door. They thought someone was coming in. It was not until Jiang Xian walked to her bunk that the educated youth suddenly realized that it was Jiang Xian who came back.
They were all originally chatting there, looking very comfortable. But when they saw Jiang Xian, they all hushed instantly, and the lively scene was completely gone.
The scene that happened at noon had just happened, and these educated youth were all a little afraid of Jiang Xian at this moment.
They were afraid that one of them would accidentally offend this ancestor and bring themselves into misfortune.
Liu Yingying is so arrogant in the village on a daily basis, and her father is so powerful in the village, but they are no match for Jiang Xian's fighting power alone. Naturally, they would not overestimate their own abilities and challenge Jiang Xian.
Usually, they follow Liu Yingying and bully Jiang Xian together.
If Jiang Xian holds a grudge, they will all suffer.
How could they not be afraid? After all, they had bullied Jiang Xian a lot before.
Seeing Jiang Xian coming back, they couldn't help but feel scared.
Especially the educated youth who slept next to Jiang Xian. After all, she and Jiang Xian were very close to each other.
If Jiang Xian held a grudge against these educated youth, she would probably be the first target.
Seeing Jiang Xian coming back and heading straight for her own bunk at this moment, the educated youth started shaking with fear. She wished she could run away from this educated youth camp immediately and find a place to hide herself to avoid being retaliated by Jiang Xian in the end.
She even dared to send Liu Yingying to prison. Is there anything else that Jiang Xian wouldn't dare to do?
If these educated youth really met Jiang Xian, they would have no choice but to accept the consequences.
Suddenly, there was a burst of booing in the educated youth point, and even the sound of hair falling to the ground could be heard.
The educated youth who were originally chatting shut up one by one.
They carefully observed Jiang Xian's expression, fearing that she might still be angry. If that was the case, if she lost her temper, they, the educated youth, would easily be implicated.
What happened to Liu Yingying today is still there. What if Jiang Xian hasn't gotten angry yet and thinks about how Liu Yingying and the others treated her on a daily basis?
If they bully her, and then if I want to punish them, they will not be able to escape since they live under the same roof.
As soon as Jiang Xian entered the room, she noticed the tense atmosphere in the educated youth center. Before she entered the room, these educated youth were still talking and laughing there, and they were so happy.
She could hear the conversation inside through the door even when she wasn't coming in.
Why did the sound of chatting in the room stop immediately as soon as she pushed the door open?
To put it bluntly, it's because they are afraid of her. But it doesn't matter this way. She is too lazy to say anything more. After all, these educated youth don't get along with the original owner and they often bully her on a daily basis.
The fear they had in their hearts at the moment, saved them a lot of trouble. At least in certain matters, they did not dare to provoke her.
Jiang Xianle was so quiet that he didn't even bother to say hello to anyone.
Living is tiring enough, how could she have so much time to deal with these people.
She had already had dinner, and since she didn't have to deal with these educated youth, she went straight to her bunk, made out the quilt, lay down, and took a nap to catch up on some sleep.
She hasn't had a good rest all day.
After running around outside all day and walking back to the village, Jiang Xian's legs were already sore. If he had the time, he would have liked to have a good rest.
After seeing Jiang Xian's actions, the educated youth realized that she really had no intention of paying attention to them, so they felt relieved.
They looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word. There was no need to continue this conversation.
The ancestor has already started to rest. If they were chatting and woke him up, the consequences would be disastrous. They didn't have the courage to do that.
It was very quiet inside the educated youth camp. Jiang Xian naturally noticed this, and this happened to please her. After all, no one likes to rest in a noisy environment. These educated youth being quieter would help her catch up on sleep.
After a good night's sleep, Jiang Xian felt relieved after sending Liu Yingying to prison.
This night at the Liu family's was destined to be restless.
After returning to the village on a ox cart, Liu's father went straight home, thinking of taking some money from home to give to Liu Yingying so that she could hire a good lawyer.
What happened today was enough to make him anxious, and he still didn't know what had happened to his old woman who took his two sons to the hospital for treatment.
I don’t know if Jiang Xian broke any bones when he fell. If he did, it would be terrible.
It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Their family directly lost two laborers, which is a huge loss.
Without anyone to earn money, the family's income was drastically reduced. In addition, he lost his original job and no longer had any extra income, so the family's original fixed monthly income was gone.
You can imagine how miserable these days are.
What's more, the old woman in his family is a spendthrift by nature. There is a village doctor in the village, but the old woman still takes her two children to the hospital in town for treatment. She simply doesn't know how to be frugal.
It’s not a big deal, just a little girl fell twice. It would be better to let the village doctor take a look to see if any bones are injured.
If there were no broken bones, why bother going to the hospital and wasting money? Taking an X-ray or something like that would cost a lot of money. Their family was not wealthy to begin with, and if they had to spend this extra expense, their family savings would basically be gone.
Father Liu didn't know much else, but he had a rough idea of how much money the family had.
Since the old woman doesn't know how to manage the household, it's up to this old man to do the math.
Liu Yingying is still waiting for money. If she needs to treat the bone injuries of her two sons, it means that she will really be left with no money. I'm afraid she will have to go out and borrow some money.
Father Liu thought so in his heart, with a sad face, looking as if he had aged ten years.
Through what happened today, he felt more and more regretful. If he had known things would be like this, he would not have gone to the educated youth site and brought Liu Yingying and their entire family to find trouble with Jiang Xian.
In the end, Jiang Xian failed to find any trouble, but instead got his own family members involved.
If we calculate now, if the two sons were injured, their family would have lost three people today. But that little bitch Jiang Xian was safe and sound. It's so infuriating.
Father Liu was furious. He returned home angrily, opened the door, and thought that he had lost all face today. However, there was nothing he could do because it was their own fault.
If anyone is to blame, it’s only Liu Yingying!
This rebellious girl didn't tell the truth when they questioned her yesterday, and she even concealed something.
She was so stupid that she got herself into trouble. She can't blame anyone else. Until now, he, as her father, has to clean up her mess. It's really terrible.
There were even worse things to come than what happened to Liu Yingying. He had thought that once he entered the house, it would be empty. However, he did not expect that the old woman in his family, along with her two sons, had already returned.
He was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, he could understand it. After all, they had been questioned in the police station for quite a long time.
After going through the whole process, several hours had passed. It wouldn't take much time to see a doctor. After all, not many people would choose to go to the county hospital for treatment these days. Generally, people in their villages would go to the village doctor and just have a casual look. There was no one who would spend money like his old woman.
Father Liu was angry, and when he thought about the family's financial situation, he felt like getting mad, but he quickly suppressed his anger.
The old woman in his family also loves her son dearly, and everyone can understand that, just like how he always cares about Liu Yingying, caring too much will cause confusion.
Liu's father didn't do anything and got angry at Liu's mother.
He had a frown on his face, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone was at home to have a good chat about Liu Yingying.
These people had just returned from the police station. It was estimated that Liu's mother didn't know yet that Liu Yingying had been locked up.
He needs to have a good talk with Liu's mother and discuss what to do next.
After all, Liu Yingying is a member of their family, and he, as her father, cannot make all the decisions. He has to discuss and explore a more appropriate solution to this matter.
It is a solution that will have less impact on Liu Yingying and their family.
In that case, at least it will not affect the future marriages of their two sons.
In the village, there is a very bad thing: good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
By now, the whole village must have known that they were taken to the police station today.
If the news spreads too widely, and everyone in the neighboring village knows about it, who will be able to find a wife for their son?
It makes me feel bad just thinking about it!
And obviously, the old woman in his family also realized this.
As soon as he saw Liu's father come in, anger began to bubble up in his heart.
Although Liu's mother doesn't have much say in the family when it comes to big things, she is good at throwing a tantrum.
She had just returned from the hospital and was so angry that even ten horses couldn't stop her. She went straight to Liu's father.
"Why did you come back alone? Where's that unlucky person? I still have to settle accounts with Liu Yingying. Don't think that I can't do anything to her just because she hides away!"
"Look at what happened today. Not only did the eldest and second child get hurt, but our family has also become notorious. From now on, our family's reputation is completely ruined. Moreover, the village chief was called here today. The village chief has always had a lot of opinions about our family. Now, after this incident, who knows how much prejudice he will have against our family."
Although Liu's mother initially took her two sons to the hospital for treatment.
When she came back, she heard from her neighbors that the incident had caused a big stir and even the village chief was alarmed. How could she not be terrified?
The old man in their family works as the village chief, a position given to him for the sake of face. Oftentimes, the old man has said that the village chief was very angry because he withheld the food expenses of the educated youths, and wanted to find ways to remove him from his post. However, due to the sake of face, he never mentioned it, which made the family always nervous.
After what happened today, what Liu's mother was most worried about was Liu's father's job. After all, their family still relied on this income to maintain basic life.
Father Liu had just swallowed the anger in his heart, but when he heard what Mother Liu said about his work, he became furious and immediately started quarreling with Mother Liu.
"How dare you tell me this? If you were more frugal when spending money, our family wouldn't have ended up like this today."
He felt a headache when he thought about where he would need money next, but unfortunately, their family was not as rich as it seemed.
