Now that Zhao Damei has actually injured someone, if Baili Wanwan chooses to file a complaint with the government, her whole family will be arrested and taken to the authorities.
"How could you lay a hand on a child? How could a woman be so vicious?" Wan Suijin said through gritted teeth, his face filled with hatred.
If he hadn't married this woman, he would have had a very promising future.
"Can that even be considered a child? That little bitch is a jinx; nothing good has happened since she appeared."
Upon hearing this, Wan Suijin became angry.
"It seems you really don't want to live anymore. Wanwan is still lying in bed. If you really end up in the county magistrate's office, do you think you can still survive?"
Zhao Damei was taken aback. In her lucid moments, she knew that she couldn't just hurt people. At best, she would have to pay for their medical treatment; at worst, she could end up in jail.
"How is that little bitch doing now?"
Zhao Damei was genuinely scared now, but she didn't want to show it, so she just pretended to ask casually.
"It's said she hasn't woken up yet. If she doesn't wake up, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save you."
I was truly bewitched back then.
Zhao Damei also stopped crying. If that brat really didn't wake up, she would probably have to pay with her life.
In any case, that brat did manage to find those sunken ships from the previous dynasty, which is a meritorious act for the court. If a meritorious official is killed, she…
Zhao Damei hurriedly put on her clothes and shoes and rushed out, but was blocked by Wan Suijin.
"You wretched woman, what are you going to do?" Hearing this question, Zhao Damei turned her head, her face full of helplessness. "Go and see if that wretched girl is still alive. If she's dead, we have to think of another way quickly, otherwise, if she's arrested by the government, our whole family will probably be finished."
Zhao Damei was completely distraught; she was terrified of going to jail.
"What? You're scared now? Hurry up and beg them to let you go, otherwise, even the King of Heaven himself couldn't save you. If it weren't for your brother's determination in this matter, do you think you'd still be sitting here unharmed?"
Now, Zhao Damei was truly scared, but she was always one to argue relentlessly once she was in the right.
"Who's afraid of that little bitch? I'd rather die than have to apologize to her."
Zhao Damei's voice was hoarse, and her face was ashen.
But that wasn't enough to stop them from going to the Wan family's house.
Baili Wanwan was lying in bed pretending to be injured, feeling the tender and warm care of those around her.
If getting injured would allow her to eat so many delicious snacks, she would actually be willing to get injured.
Baili Wanwan pointed to the pastries on the side.
"Auntie, what flavor are those pastries? Why have I never seen them before? Can I try some?"
Zhang Xiu looked at the pastries with a hint of helplessness.
These pastries were sent by the county magistrate's family. Originally, Wan Suizhou didn't want them to be accepted, but she was arguing with Wan Suizhou at the time and forcibly accepted the pastries.
It is said that this pastry was specially made by the chef of the county magistrate's office, and it is the only one of its kind.
You can't buy it anywhere else.
However, Zhang Xiu never tasted what it actually tasted like.
He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding; he who takes another's money is obligated to do his bidding.
After accepting the pastries, Zhang Xiu began to regret it.
The magistrate's family lacked nothing, so they had nothing to give back.
"Don't eat this pastry yet. I didn't buy it for you, so you'll have to return it later."
Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan looked unhappy.
"But it looks so beautiful, Wanwan likes it very much."
The pastry was shaped like a flower and looked very soft and chewy; she couldn't resist it.
"Whose is this?"
The room was completely silent. No one answered Baili Wanwan's question, so she could only look at it a few more times to satisfy her curiosity.
In the end, Zhang Xiu couldn't stand Baili Wanwan's gluttonous appearance, so she gritted her teeth and brought the tray over.
"Eat up, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."
I don’t understand why eating a pastry is such a big deal, but Baili Wanwan was so hungry that she picked up a piece and took a bite.
"Oh dear, this little slut is awake now."
A mocking voice came from outside the door, and everyone looked towards the door.
Zhao Damei hadn't even had time to comb her hair; she was disheveled and looked completely unkempt.
However, her tone was light and airy at the moment, and she leaned against the door frame, letting out a cold laugh.
"How serious could my stab wound be? I was only unconscious for three days before waking up. It seems I'll have to go even harder next time."
A breeze blew by, causing Zhao Damei's dark hair at her temples to tremble slightly, almost catching her eye. She quickly pulled it away before letting out a cold snort: "This is clearly an attempt to extort money from our family. Since nothing has happened, there's no need to dwell on it."
Even the village head couldn't stand such a despicable face.
"It seems you really want to go and visit the government."
Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan realized that she had been unconscious for three days.
The hazy, confused state in my dreams was truly terrifying.
Looking at Zhao Damei again, the black aura around her was even stronger, almost threatening to engulf her entirely.
This person has done many bad things, and will be punished.
Even if they don't end up in the authorities, something will happen sooner or later.
"Don't worry about her. She's done all sorts of bad things anyway. What goes around comes around. Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished."
Baili Wanwan racked her brains before finding these suitable words.
She grabbed a pillow from the side and threw it directly at Zhao Damei.
"You're not welcome here, and Wanwan doesn't want to see you either. You'd better leave now!"
It seemed they weren't planning to report it to the authorities, and Zhao Damei breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, if you report it to the authorities, I'll drag you down with me even if it kills me!"
Only after Zhao Damei's figure had completely disappeared from sight did the group begin to discuss.
"Zhao Damei's face is disgusting. Why don't we find a way to punish her a little? We have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she'll never know how to behave in the village."
Uncle Wang had also suffered at the hands of Zhao Damei. His family was not well-off to begin with, and Zhao Damei had extorted one or two taels of silver from them.
Uncle Wang gritted his teeth, still angry at the thought of that incident.
“Indeed, we should.” The village head’s gaze was deep. She had always been reluctant to meddle in the village’s affairs, but as the village head, there were times when she had no choice.
"The rumors spread that Zhao was vicious and harmed the villagers, and deserved to be burned alive, though he was left with only half his life."
The villagers actually have no right to punish other villagers on their own. These matters should have been handed over to the government, but it seems that the Wan family is not planning to report it to the authorities.
That makes sense, after all, we're family.
