022
At twelve o'clock noon, the door of the Jiang family was slammed so loudly that all the neighbors came out to see what was going on.
Jiang Yanyi put on her clothes and let her hair down. Because she had slept for too long, her face looked very pale and her lips were cracked. Not having any water for more than ten hours made her look extremely weak.
She squeezed out a few tears, covered her head and walked towards the door.
"Oh my, Lai Di, you are at home. Why did you open the door just now? Let me tell you, something big happened. Your parents and your brother were in a car accident. Come on, come with me." The person who came was the fat aunt from the neighborhood committee. She was known for her kindness and generosity. All the neighbors gave her a thumbs up when they talked about her.
When she learned about the incident at the Jiang family, she first went to the school to look for Jiang Lai Di. She learned from her homeroom teacher and classmates that Jiang Lai Di was not at school, so she immediately hurried back to the Jiang family to look for her. She was just giving it a try, but she didn't expect Jiang Lai Di to actually be at home.
Seeing Jiang Lai Di, Auntie Pang couldn't wait to grab her hand and drag her out. "Look at you, why don't you go to school? This is a critical moment for you, you can't afford to delay like this."
Jiang Yanyi didn't struggle, and followed her force and rushed forward. She stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Auntie Pang reacted in time and caught her. "Hey, hey, hey, what happened?"
Jiang Yanyi's tears fell, and she said softly, "Aunt, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I just feel a little dizzy."
The people watching the excitement around immediately became excited and started talking one after another.
"Oh, Lai Di, why do you suddenly feel dizzy? Could it be that you slept too long and that's why you feel dizzy?"
"Laidi, your mother said you like to sleep in, and it seems to be true."
"You're already a grown-up girl, you can't be so lazy anymore."
"Speaking of which, Lai Di really turned out to be a blessing in disguise. If she hadn't slept in, wouldn't the four of them be lying in the hospital today?"
In just a few words, everyone characterized Jiang Lai Di as a complete lazy girl.
Facing their accusations, Jiang Yanyi did not refute them. She just covered her head, then accidentally revealed the bruises on her body from being kicked, and explained in a voice comparable to a mosquito: "I... I was just knocked unconscious, not asleep."
Auntie Fatty was closest to her. She moved closer and asked in a loud voice, "Girl, what did you say? Were you knocked unconscious? What happened? Oh my God, what happened to you?" She waved her hand and immediately lifted Jiang Yanyi's clothes a little. "What a sin! Who beat you like that?"
Jiang Lai Di had both old and new wounds on her body, and the bruises of varying sizes were shocking.
Thanks to Jiang's mother's eloquence, she always portrayed herself as a devoted wife and mother, respecting her husband and doting on her children, with endless work to do and endless worries to worry about, and giving so much to the family. She portrayed Jiang Lai Di as a wealthy young lady who had everything provided for her, describing her as a spoiled child who never touched a finger at home.
Jiang Lai Di had been raised by them to be a coward, rarely interacting with outsiders. Naturally, everyone just took Jiang's mother's words at face value, never questioning their veracity. So when they saw Jiang Lai Di still at home in the middle of the day instead of going to school, they naturally assumed she was suffering from what Jiang's mother called "lazy disease."
At this moment, when Jiang Yan revealed the injuries on his body, everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and they were shocked.
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
"Could it be that the couple fought?"
"What a sin! How could you have the heart to do this?"
"Tsk tsk, I never could have guessed. She usually acts like a good wife and mother, but it turns out she's actually torturing her daughter like this behind her back."
"No wonder she finally had a boy after so many pregnancies. It must be because they favor boys over girls."
Auntie Pang looked up in disbelief after hearing what everyone said. "Girl, is what they said true? Was it really your parents who beat you?" Although she asked this question, she already had the answer in her heart. Given Jiang's mother's noisy personality, if she really doted on her children as she said, she would have already made a fuss about all the injuries on Jiang Lai Di's body. It would be impossible for everyone to discover them only today. "What a foolish couple."
She finally discovered that Jiang Yanyi had been covering his head. She reached out and touched the place where Jiang Yanyi was covering his head, and sure enough, she felt a big hard lump.
"Did they type this out too?"
Jiang Yanyi nervously grabbed his clothes, trying to cover the wounds on his body, "No... no, I just bumped into them accidentally. They didn't... didn't hit me. I didn't take good care of my brother. I wasn't beaten."
She seemed nervous and her words were unclear.
But we are all old hands in gossip. As soon as we heard it, we knew that she was afraid of being scolded later and did not dare to tell the truth.
“太恶毒了，这丫头自己还是个孩子呢，竟然因为照顾不好弟弟就挨揍，这心啊，简直是偏到半边坡去了，还天天吹嘘自己儿子女儿都爱，依我看，根本就是重男轻女。”
"That's right. Look at the girl's hands. You can tell she works a lot."
“How pitiful…”
Everyone sighed and forgot that they had just blamed Jiang Lai Di for being a lazy girl.
Seeing that the effect was almost achieved, Jiang Yan timidly tugged at Aunt Fat's sleeve, "Aunt... Aunt, why did you come to me? Did you just... say that my parents had an accident?" Tears fell from her eyes as she spoke, and there was no resentment towards her parents in her expression. Instead, she was full of nervousness and worry.
Aunt Fat, who was already furious, became even angrier when she heard this. The Jiang couple were such unkind people, but the girl didn't hold a grudge against them at all.
"I think that couple deserves it. Maybe this is karma."
"Who says it's not true? Otherwise, why is it that only the girl escaped the disaster at home?"
"Speaking of which, why would the three of them go out and leave the girl at home? Could it be that they're going to eat alone?"
"Hey, didn't you hear that? This girl was knocked unconscious, so naturally she can't go out. Don't you think this is a blessing in disguise, karma?"
"Yes, yes, that's the truth."
"Alright, alright, everyone, shut up." Auntie Pang also resented Jiang's father and mother in her heart, but the most important thing right now was obviously the three people still lying in the hospital. "Laidi, don't panic. Listen to what I say. Your parents and your brother were in a car accident. They are all in the hospital now. Your parents are still in the intensive care unit, and your brother is fine, he's just scared. Come with me to the hospital right now, sign whatever is needed, and pay whatever bills are due. Your family is relying on you now."
Jiang Yanyi's face became visibly paler, and her body was shaking, as if she was devastated by the bad news.
"How could this happen?" she murmured.
"Hey..." Aunt Fatty sighed and patted her on the back. "Don't worry, we will all help you."
Jiang Yan followed Aunt Fatty to the hospital in a daze. When she saw Jiang Pengpeng, she immediately ran over and squatted in front of him, pulling him to check carefully. "Pengpeng, are you okay? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Sister is here. It's okay, it's okay."
Jiang Pengpeng was crying non-stop because he was frightened. In order to comfort him, a kind nurse lent him her mobile phone to play games.
As expected, Jiang Pengpeng stopped crying after getting the phone. He immersed himself in the game and was so happy that he completely forgot about the car accident and his parents.
Suddenly interrupted by Jiang Yanyi, his anger instantly ignited. He slapped Jiang Yanyi's hand and screamed, "What are you doing? Are you annoying? Who asked you to watch? You're so cheap."
Jiang Yanyi retracted his hand and looked at him aggrievedly: "Pengpeng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I was just too worried about you."
No way, she did it on purpose. Jiang Pengpeng has always been a little bully at home. When he was a child, he often took Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's mobile phone and pressed it. Occasionally, when he pressed something, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother would boast with surprise, "Wow, my son is so great. He can play with a mobile phone at such a young age."
With constant praise, Jiang Pengpeng became increasingly fond of playing with his phone. He was already heavily addicted to it when he was just learning to walk. Every day, he would think about nothing but playing with his phone. Jiang's parents were not patient people. Whenever Jiang Pengpeng cried, they would give him the phone without saying a word and let him play with it to his heart's content. As soon as Jiang Pengpeng got the phone, he would even forget his last name, let alone someone disturbing him. Once disturbed, he would immediately go berserk.
It was because Jiang Yanyi thought of this that he pretended to be anxious and hugged him to check on him.
Sure enough, the fat aunt following behind Jiang Yanyi heard their conversation clearly. She asked Jiang Pengpeng with a stern face: "Pengpeng, is this how you usually treat your sister? Your sister is just concerned about you, but you beat and scold her. Is this how your parents taught you?"
Jiang Pengpeng wasn't afraid of Auntie Pang. He rolled his eyes at her and immediately went back to his game. He snapped his fingers and snorted, "My parents don't care about me, so what's it got to do with you? It was this woman's fault. Who told her to interrupt my game?"
His carefree attitude made Aunt Fat so angry that she fell backwards, "You, you, you..." Well, so that's how the couple taught their children, let her teach them a lesson later.
Wherever there is gossip, there is always a crowd of onlookers. Jiang Pengpeng is young but has a bad temper. He looks domineering and arrogant at such a young age. On the other hand, Jiang Yanyi, a grown-up girl, is so timid and is beaten and scolded by a child. This scene immediately attracted other patients in the hospital.
Everyone quickly turned their heads and paid attention to every move of Jiang Yanyi and the other two.
"This kid is so uneducated! That's his sister, right? Not only does he not call her sister, but he keeps calling her that woman. If he were my son, I would definitely slap him twice."
"It's obvious that he was spoiled at home. It must be his parents' preference for sons over daughters."
"He's so addicted to his phone at such a young age. How will he study in the future? Look how close his eyes are to the screen. He'll have to wear glasses with hundreds of degrees of prescription when he studies."
"Ah, parents nowadays don't care about their children at all. They just use their phones to coax them when they have nothing to do. If this continues, it will be the end of them."
"This kid is so infuriating. He's rude and has a bad temper. I heard his parents are in the intensive care unit, but he's happily playing on his phone and isn't worried about them at all. He's truly heartless."
Jiang Pengpeng was originally playing with his mobile phone, but the voices of everyone's discussions were getting louder and louder. Although he was small, he could understand what was being said. As he listened, he realized something was wrong, as if everyone was talking about him.
When I listened carefully, I saw that they were really talking about him, and they were saying bad things about him.
He had never been scolded at home. Father Jiang and Mother Jiang never even said a harsh word to him. But when he heard everyone saying bad things about him, his face immediately flushed and he wanted to retort and curse back. But he looked around and saw all sorts of strangers. The anger in his heart suddenly died down, and he didn't dare to curse back.
There was no other way, he could only turn the gun around and vent his anger on Jiang Yanyi.
"It's all your fault, you're such a bad guy." He said as he kicked Jiang Yanyi. "I'm going to tell Mom and Dad that you bullied me, and you joined them in bullying me. I'm going to have Mom and Dad beat you to death."
His sudden attack without warning made Jiang Yan stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. She blocked Jiang Pengpeng's attack, her voice trembling but loud enough for others to hear: "Pengpeng, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please don't tell my parents, okay? It's all my fault. I apologize to you, okay?"
