Who would want this outcome? What’s the point of sentencing the perpetrator and paying 1,300 yuan in compensation?
They would rather not have all this, as long as they can be nice to Lili and be as quirky as usual.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world. Xiang Lili eventually changed from an outstanding employee of the methane plant to a sad young woman recuperating at home.
On the 29th day of the lunar year, she sat at the doorstep basking in the sun, waiting for her family to come back from buying supplies. She felt chilled to the bone under the warm winter sun.
The neighbors tried their best to pretend nothing happened, but they couldn't help but look at Lili with sympathy.
There are also some sons who came to propose marriage but were rejected. They would pass by the Xiang family's door specifically, shouting loudly that it's just like that for a broken woman, so just find an honest man to marry!
They thought that even if Xiang Lili told him that she had struggled hard and kicked the gangster in the body, wasn't there an accomplice next to her?
She must have been abused, and there might even be a little bastard in her belly!
They firmly believed that a phoenix that had fallen to the ground was no better than a chicken. Their son was already high and mighty and looked down on women like Xiang Lili. It all depended on who would be the sucker to take over.
Coming to the Xiang family to belittle Xiang Lili is because she has an inexplicable sense of superiority. Look, I told you not to agree to my son's marriage proposal, and now look what happened, no one wants you!
Xiang Lili listened with a blank expression and dull eyes.
She still couldn't hear in her right ear, but her left ear functioned normally, so of course she could hear the slander and defamation from these people.
If it were a month ago, given Xiang Lili's violent temper, she would have jumped up and started arguing with them, and even in a one-on-many situation, she would not be at a disadvantage and would have scolded these people until they shut up.
I simply don't have the energy or mood to do that now.
The heavy blow she suffered made her dizzy with excitement. Besides, what was the point of winning the argument? Did she want to marry into these people's family?
I can’t think about it, it makes me sick.
Xiang Lili closed her eyes uncomfortably, trying not to look at the ugly faces of these people. The rare bright sunshine in winter could not penetrate the coldness on her body.
Seeing that she did not resist, the man became more and more excited.
Xiang Mianmian didn't expect that when she went in to get a hand warmer for her fifth sister, these people would bully her right to her doorstep. They quickly came out and shot at her one by one:
"Get lost! Your son from the Li family is nicknamed Shorty. He's not even as tall as my sister. You're a toad dreaming of eating swan meat. Why are you dreaming of marrying my sister?!"
And your Yao family, have you figured out what's going on at home? Six sons fought over the family inheritance and sold your bicycle, but they didn't sell you, did they? And you still have the nerve to meddle in my family's affairs!
You from the Xian family are even more outrageous, demanding your daughter-in-law give birth to at least five sons and two daughters. Do you really think your family has the heir to the throne and all the women are obsessed with you? Stop flattering yourself and get out of here!
How much deterrent power can a little girl like Xiang Mianmian have? Of course, she can't scold these busybodies away.
She chose to win people over with virtue. She picked up the stones at the door and threw them away one by one. It must be said that her accuracy was quite good and almost none of them missed.
Ignoring the busybodies cursing as they left, Xiang Mianmian squatted down with a distressed look on her face and hugged Xiang Lili, who was resting with her eyes closed.
She comforted him: "It's okay, sister. These people's salaries are not as high as yours. What they said is just incompetent barking. You have a job and you are not afraid of getting married. At worst, you can stay at home with me to support your parents!"
Xiang Lili didn't care at all about what these people said.
She has skills and confidence, and at most she can stay single and support herself for the rest of her life.
She was worried that her lawsuit would become too big and affect the reputation of the girls in her family, and Xiang Mianmian and her next generation of nieces would be gossiped about because of it.
Xiang Lili wanted to respond to her younger sister, but she was speechless.
Seeing Fifth Sister open her eyes, full of emotions but unable to express them, Xiang Mianmian took the hand warmer next to her and wiped it, then took Fifth Sister's hand and placed it in her palm.
She leaned gently against Xiang Lili and said, "Everything will be fine. This matter will fade away in a month or two at most. Don't worry, sister. Take care of yourself and go back to work, and no one will say anything."
It's not about urging my sister to work and earn money, but work can reflect Xiang Lili's life value.
As a perennial advanced model in the factory, it is common for me to win first place in skill competitions. Even if my love life is not going well, as long as I am doing well in my career, that's enough!
These people are complaining, isn't it just that their son is not competitive and always loses to Xiang Lili, so they want to belittle her to save face?
When you are in the mud, you want to pull others down with you so that you can be worthy of it. How disgusting!
Xiang Lili was eager to express her concerns, but she couldn't break through the barrier in her heart and shut up unhappily.
She wondered, could deafness also lead to muteness?
Xiang Mianmian felt a pang in her heart when she saw that her sister was trying hard but couldn't speak. This was not right. It didn't seem like Xiang Lili didn't want to speak, she just couldn't speak!
Post-traumatic stress disorder, abbreviated as PTSD in English.
This string of information appeared in Xiang Mianmian's mind, but her sister was fine a few days ago when she was recording her confession, collecting evidence and going to court. How come she appeared after everything was settled?
She was a little panicked. What should she do? Were there any psychiatrists in the 1960s?
Suddenly I remembered the disposable medical equipment in the system storage compartment. It was the reward I got for helping my sister-in-law get the accounting task in the coal plant.
Xiang Mianmian felt relieved and calmed down.
She didn't want her sister, a gifted girl, to be crushed into dust after experiencing setbacks. It was unfair.
The instigator maliciously hurt someone just because his sister did not agree to the marriage proposal. Even though he was imprisoned, what's the use?
The physical and mental damage to Xiang Lili has already been caused, and even affected her subsequent life. Why!
