Chapter 143 The Thief Cries Thief
Hearing his son's cry, Jiang Weiguo strode towards Ye Rou, hugged his son, frowned and asked, "Son, what did you say?"
Little Shitou couldn't stop crying and choked up and couldn't speak several times.
Wang Qiaohe's eyes rolled, and she immediately said angrily, "Xiao Rou, how could you hit a child?"
Ye Rou looked at Wang Qiaohe and said, "The thief cried thief, I finally saw it today."
"How come I'm the one crying 'stop thief'?" Wang Qiaohe looked at Jiang Weiguo and said aggrievedly, "This child was fine when I was taking care of him, but after you held him for a while, he suddenly started crying and accused me of hitting him."
As she spoke, she moved closer to Little Stone, held the child's soft hand, and shed tears of heartache.
Little Shitou turned pale with fright, but because he was afraid of being beaten by Wang Qiaohe, he gritted his teeth and cried silently, not daring to pull his hand back.
Wang Qiaohe pretended to cry and said, "Little Shitou has always been very lively. Ever since he was abducted by human traffickers and brought home, he hasn't been able to sleep well every night, often calling for his sister in the middle of the night. I always thought he was missing you, but now I think he must have had a nightmare about his sister bullying him, which is why he broke down and screamed."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. She looked weak and innocent, even more pitiful than a small stone.
As soon as Wang Qiaohe finished speaking, the faces of everyone in the yard immediately darkened.
Zheng Xiu stopped knitting and said coldly, "The child just now clearly shouted that he was being beaten by his aunt, but how come it became "sister" in your mouth?"
"Xiao Rou has no grudge against this kid, why are you hitting him?" Zheng Zhiyuan turned off the radio and spoke in a cold voice.
Old Mrs. Song and Zhou Yuqing, who were waiting for the meat, had gloomy faces.
Li Weijun helped Wang Guoping out and saw the confrontation in the yard and stood behind Ye Rou tacitly.
Everyone in the yard stared at Wang Qiaohe, but she was not panicked at all, because she knew the key lay with Jiang Weiguo.
"You know her, so you'll naturally speak in her favor."
Wang Qiaohe looked up at Jiang Weiguo and said aggrievedly, "Brother-in-law, Xiao Shitou is my sister's child. Why should I hit him?"
"Because your son's abduction was not an accident."
A sharp voice sounded.
Fan Xiangyang looked at the young man who walked in from the door.
He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a handsome and gloomy face. He was wearing a short black down jacket and black leather boots that covered his legs. He strode into the yard.
The man naturally took the young woman's fair wrist, and the two of them stood together, looking as well-matched as star models in a magazine.
"Are you hurt?" Jiang Chen glanced at the wooden door that was kicked away, pulled Ye Rou up and down to check her, his brows furrowed.
Ye Rou shook her head, pointed at Wang Qiaohe with her fox eyes and said, "She's playing with small stones."
Her face flushed with anger. Jiang Chen gently embraced her in his arms and coaxed her in a low voice, "Don't be angry, leave it to me."
He looked at Jiang Weiguo with cold eyes, "Didn't you look at Wang Meng's account book?"
Jiang Weiguo shook his head. He was the mayor of Changdu Town, not the director of the Public Security Bureau. He had no right to carefully examine such key physical evidence.
Wang Qiaohe stared at Jiang Chen, her heart pounding nervously.
Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Chen said, "Your son was sold to Wang Meng by the woman next to you."
The color drained from Wang Qiaohe's face instantly. She stumbled two steps, grabbed her brother-in-law's hand, and said incoherently, "It's not me. I didn't sell the little stone. Brother-in-law, please believe me."
Jiang Weiguo shook off her hand and gently patted his son's shoulder. He frowned slightly and asked with deep guilt and sadness, "Little Stone, tell Daddy, who hit you?"
Little Stone's dark eyes were watery and his little face was pale.
Jiang Weiguo asked hoarsely, "Son, did your aunt hit you?"
When he heard the word "Aunt", Little Stone shrank back in fear.
But he was completely disappointed in Jiang Weiguo, and the fear of being handed over to Wang Qiaohe by his father again and again made him keep silent.
He turned to look at Ye Rou, thinking of his sister's brave kick that sent someone flying, Little Stone cried, "I want my sister to hold me, I want my sister to hold me."
Xiao Shitou's trust in Ye Rou has already revealed the truth of the matter. It was definitely not Ye Rou who beat his son.
He hugged his son distressedly, staring at Wang Qiaohe with a sinister look, and said in a slower voice, "Sister likes brave children. Is Little Stone a brave child?"
Little Stone stared at his sister and cried, "My aunt beat me. She called me a burden and said that Daddy was getting married and you would have new children and would abandon me. Even if I was beaten to death, Daddy wouldn't care."
Jiang Weiguo hugged his son with heartache, and glared at Wang Qiaohe angrily.
"What a vicious woman! You said your family wanted to sell you and force you to marry a lame old man. I took you in because you were my wife's younger sister and you took good care of Little Stone. I didn't expect you would be inviting a wolf into the house!"
If Ye Rou had not given Xiao Shitou a sense of security and given him the courage to tell the truth, he would still be kept in the dark and allow this vicious woman to harm his son.
No wonder Xiao Shitou became more silent day by day after being rescued. He originally thought that the child had grown up and become sensible as Wang Qiaohe said, but he didn't expect that he was scared by her beatings and didn't dare to complain or cry!
Thinking of this, Jiang Weiguo was furious. He stood up holding his son and kicked Wang Qiaohe in the stomach.
He kicked Wang Qiaohe without any mercy, and she fell to the ground with a pale face.
Jiang Weiguo asked her harshly: "Xiao Shitou is just a child, why did you hurt him?"
She no longer maintained the mask of weakness and innocence and shouted, "I'm jealous that my sister can marry you! Why? I'm prettier, younger, and better looking than my sister. With him around, you'll never let my sister go and you'll never marry me!"
Jiang Weiguo could no longer conceal his disgust and said coldly, "Cheng Gang took her to the police station on the charge of selling a child."
Cheng Gang grabbed Wang Qiaohe and turned to Fan Xiangyang, who was carrying the unconscious Cao He, and said, "Come with me to the police station."
Fan Xiangyang looked bitter. What was going on?
Jiang Weiguo knew that his family had caused trouble for Ye Rou and the others during the New Year, so he apologized repeatedly. He wanted to have a good talk with his son, so he borrowed a room and took his son in.
Ye Rou held onto Jiang Chen's arm and looked to the side, asking worriedly, "Grandpa Wang, are you okay?"
Wang Guoping shook his head.
When Cao He came to him to become his disciple, he felt that Cao He was cunning and did not accept him as his disciple.
He sternly refused for the last time, and Cao He seemed to leave sadly.
But after a while, his wife suddenly asked him to accept a student, and that student was Cao He.
He then realized that Cao He had not left at all, but had come to his house to help his wife, and had been busy for more than a month without him noticing.
Wang Guoping had no choice but to accept Cao He, but he didn't expect that he would accept a beast.
Jiang Weiguo invited a wolf into the house, and so did he.
He sighed and shook his head, then went into the house alone, his back looking desolate.
Ye Rou's eyes showed worry, and Li Weijun said in a deep voice: "Let him take it easy."
These people have experienced too much, and even when they get old they are caught up in these things and cannot be free.
Ye Rou frowned, and Jiang Chen suddenly said, "I'll show you a surprise."
He pulled Ye Rou out.
