"If you could handle this, would I need to be here? You need to be fair and impartial when dealing with things. How did you handle it? You came here and said it was Xiaocao's fault?"
Did you see it with your own eyes? Did you check it? Did you ask other people?
Do you realize that what you're doing is wrong? You're wrongly accusing your own granddaughter!
The children in the village are all very mischievous, so this kind of thing is normal. The important thing is that the child is alright, that's all that matters.
I never expected that old lady Yang would insist on causing trouble. Now look what happened, Mo Yan is fed up with it.
Everyone in the village knows she favors that good-for-nothing Yang Moran; they just haven't said it, but that doesn't mean they're blind.
"Village chief, look at what you're saying," the old woman said, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation. She glanced at the village chief and laughed. "Don't I know what's going on in my family? It must be that little grass who was disobedient and pushed my precious baby. My precious baby is obedient and sensible, and is the village's little lucky charm."
If it wasn't Xiaocao who did it, then who was?
Even with the village chief present, the old lady remained calm and simply said this.
In the old lady's heart, her precious child was the best, who would never do anything wrong, and even if he did, it was someone else's fault.
There is no right or wrong.
To be honest, if this were a novel, seeing the group being so favored and pampered would bring a smile to my face.
People are naturally biased, and it's fine to like one child over another, but you can't do that by making others suffer.
You can be biased, you can show favoritism, but the problem is when you disregard a child's life.
The original owner wasn't wrong either. She worked hard year after year, but her own child couldn't get anything to eat and could only watch her mother-in-law show favoritism. She got angry and wanted to separate from the family and argued with her husband, but her husband disagreed. Then the incident with Xiaocao happened, and she turned evil from then on.
Her child became mentally disabled because of that darling of the group, how could she tolerate it!
So, was the beloved member at fault? If she didn't know, if she didn't know who pushed her, then she wasn't at fault. But her actions were quite hypocritical. When she woke up, she said that Sister Xiaocao didn't do it on purpose, and later she even told Yang Erbao to talk to the original owner properly, thinking that her family had done nothing wrong, and that it was Xiaocao who had harmed her.
In the end, they even made Yang Erbao divorce his wife and beat her up. So, did Yang Erbao have a good ending? In the end, he stayed in his hometown, farming the land for his family his whole life. At the end, they mentioned, "In my hometown, there was an uncle who met a shrewish aunt and several disobedient and unruly children. It was truly pitiful."
"If you didn't see it, it's not true, and you can't just make things up. I found a few people who saw it. Listen to them for yourself."
Those women were the village aunties; they were washing clothes by the river at that time.
“Aunt Yang, we were by the river at that time. We saw the two sisters there. Xiao Cao was gathering pig feed. Your baby didn’t know what was going on, but she tried to push Xiao Cao and accidentally fell in.”
“I saw it too. Your little one fell in by himself. I don’t know if he was trying to play with the grass or what, but he just fell in. You should talk to your child about this. It’s dangerous by the river.”
They practically said that your precious child was going to push the grass down.
Several children also came. "We know, we know. Back then, when Guaibao was playing a game with us, she said that even if she hit the grass, she wouldn't get scolded. We didn't believe her, so she went and pushed it."
"That's right, that's exactly it. She really pushed, and she fell down by herself. We were so scared that we immediately called for help."
"She fell down, and Xiaocao tried to help pull her up, but Guaibao pulled her down instead."
That's why the children didn't dare tell the adults what happened, afraid they would be beaten if they did.
Grandma Yang didn't believe it. Her face darkened as she glared fiercely at the children. "You little brats, don't talk nonsense! You're slandering me! Are you bullying my precious baby because he's not awake yet?!"
The village chief shook his head, somewhat speechless. "If one person says it, you can say it's a lie. But if everyone says it, then it's the truth. Besides, we know very well what kind of personalities the two children usually have."
Your little darling is a real troublemaker. He's always causing a ruckus in the village with the other kids. He's so mischievous and naughty, he does all sorts of things.
"Little Grass, she has to work every day, either gathering firewood or cutting pig feed. They're the same age, so why doesn't your precious child have to do anything, while Little Grass has to do everything?"
Grandma Yang's face darkened again, and she was very indignant. "Village chief, if you want to talk about something, just talk about it. Why did you bring this up? My precious daughter doesn't want to do it, so I don't have to. I just feel sorry for her. I just want her to play for a couple more years. Is that not allowed?"
They were especially loud.
"Sure, why not? But this matter isn't up to you to decide. Since there's a victim, I'll naturally step in and make the decision. I heard you're here to ask for money? What did you just say? That you wanted Xiaocao to kowtow and apologize?"
The village chief heard these words when he came over, and he was furious. The person was still lying in bed and hadn't woken up yet, and you were already thinking of making him kowtow and apologize.
If you didn't know what was going on, you might think this child isn't your biological child.
Otherwise, why would they treat people differently? This is clearly not normal!
Grandma Yang: "..."
"What victim?" Old Mrs. Yang heard the key point. "This is a family matter. I can handle it myself. No matter what, Xiaocao has to do whatever I tell her to do."
The village chief was furious, his face darkening. "I'm talking to you nicely, and you're taking advantage of my kindness, aren't you? What's wrong with you? Who do you think you are? You think you can just say whatever you want? Why don't you just fly to the moon?"
"Let me tell you, if you don't listen to me, I really won't care anymore. Your daughter-in-law will go to the county to beat the drum and appeal for justice. Let's see if you can get away with that then!"
Regardless of right or wrong, regardless of whether it's a trivial matter, once they beat the drum to appeal for justice, even if it's just a quarrel between father and son, the county magistrate will personally hear the case, and then their village will become famous...
"If you don't listen, your whole family can get out of our village! As long as your family is out of our village, I won't care about you!"
When the village chief got angry, Old Lady Yang didn't dare to speak and could only lower her head.
"Mo Yan, this matter has been investigated and found to have nothing to do with Xiao Cao. Old Madam Yang, you must give Xiao Cao the money for medical treatment, as well as eggs and an old hen to help her recover. Give it to her now, right in front of me!"
Grandma Yang: "!!!"
Grandma Yang's eyes widened, wondering what right that brat had to eat such good food. Did she even deserve it?
Just as he was about to speak, seeing the village chief's dark face, he ultimately didn't say anything.
"We haven't separated. I'll give her food!"
I'll give it to my little darling then. Anyway, the door's closed, so no one will be able to see whether that brat actually got any.
