Chapter 59
Because once this kind of rumor is formed and spreads, it will be fatal harm to lesbians at this time. They will be pointed at and criticized for the rest of their lives. How many people can have such strong psychological qualities to survive the condemnation and contempt of everyone around them?
It would be fine if the husband's family was rational and sensible, but if the husband's family believed the rumors, then the lesbian who was slandered would have no way out but death.
After all, this time is not like the 1990s. If you can no longer stay in your hometown, you can find a job in a big coastal city. You can always start a new life in a place where no one knows you.
Nowadays, if people want to go to Beijing, they need a certificate and a letter of introduction from their work unit. Country people also need a letter of introduction from the production team to go to the city. Otherwise, you can't even buy a long-distance bus ticket and can't move at all.
So although what Du Cheng did did not cause any actual physical harm to anyone, he was actually forcing Xia Qingtang to die in disguise.
In his previous life, Xia Qingtang had also experienced some similar things, but the situations were not serious. In addition, the Kong family at that time were all barbarians without culture, and others did not dare to provoke them easily. Some rumors were only discussed privately in a small circle and were not brought to Xia Qingtang's presence, let alone spread throughout the compound.
Even at this moment, Xia Qingtang still couldn't understand what Du Cheng had done. How could someone be so unscrupulous as to spread rumors he had made up publicly one by one?
As long as the person concerned asks a few people, he can be traced back to him. Why is he so presumptuous? One reason is that there is no law against these things at the moment, and the other is that he relies on the Xie family. Everyone is gentle and polite, and will never take revenge on personal grudges.
Du Cheng's unscrupulous behavior also shows the image of Grandpa Xie in the eyes of outsiders. His upright image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone knows that he never seeks personal gain for his family and is honest and upright all his life. If he were not too upright, would Du Cheng dare to spread rumors about his granddaughter-in-law like this?
If it were someone else in his position, Du Cheng's entire family would be left with no way out. Would he still dare to do this?
Du Cheng's only miscalculation was Xia Qingtang's character. She was a person who had a chance to start over. In her previous life, she was cautious about this and that and had been timid for decades. Now she didn't want to be a person who would swallow her anger. Even if she had to drag the other party to fight to the death and die together, no one could bully her.
Now the results of the handling have come out, and the police have reported the relevant results to Du Cheng's unit. Normally, he would be suspended for a period of time to accept punishment, and in this way, this person will never have the opportunity to be promoted in this unit in his life.
But Xia Qingtang felt that this was far from enough. He wanted her to die, but if he didn't experience such a desperate situation himself, wouldn't it be too easy for him?
Xie Jinxuan came back on Wednesday afternoon. At that time, the boy who had pried open the door and Du Cheng were both locked inside. In order to prove that he was just a thief and not a rapist, the boy not only voluntarily handed over his tools, but also gave out the name of the master who taught him how to pick the lock.
This time, they followed the clues and not only caught his master, but also several of his disciples.
The child also confessed to all the places he had stolen in the past six months. He had stolen from the principal's office and several households in the compound. However, because the amounts were small, only some small change and food stamps were missing, those households had always thought that it was their own children who took them away and even beat the children for this. Now that the truth has come out, the parents have not apologized to the child.
In this case, the failed attempt to break into the house had nothing to do with rape, and the child was just a thief.
He really thought that Xie Jinxuan's family was rich, and he happened to be on a business trip, leaving only a female comrade at home alone, so the boy had the courage to break into the house. He originally thought that he could at least steal a few dollars, or at worst some bacon, cake, or something like that.
When Xie Jinxuan rode her bicycle back to the family compound from work, she was greeted by several acquaintances: "Why did you come back just now? Go home quickly, something big happened at home!"
Xie Jinxuan was so anxious that he almost turned his bicycle into a Hot Wheels. He rode to the gate of the small courtyard, but both the door of the house and the gate of the courtyard were locked. Obviously, no one was at home.
Sister Chen happened to be tidying up the vegetable patch in the yard. When she saw him, she quickly said, "Hey, Xiao Xie, you're finally back! Something big happened in your family!"
"I know. I heard many people tell me. Sister Chen, what happened in our family? Is Qingtang okay?" Xie Jinxuan was sweating anxiously.
Sister Chen opened the courtyard door and walked out, shouting, "I don't know if it's a problem or not. First, your house was robbed on Saturday night. Xiao Xia screamed and scared the thief away. Our Lao Yuan was the first to run out to help her catch the thief, but he didn't catch him at the time. Then we all sent Xiao Xia to live with your grandparents. We thought the matter was over. Nothing was stolen anyway, so what else could happen? As a result, the next day, something even bigger happened!"
Sister Chen described it vividly, but Xie Jinxuan became even more anxious. He asked, "What's the matter? What happened to Qingtang?"
"Listen to me. The next day, Du Cheng, the eldest son of the Du family, who was your classmate, told many people in the yard that your Xiao Xia was raped. He said it with full confidence. I heard it, but I remember that Xiao Xia said that the door was not opened and the thief did not get in. I don't know why Du Cheng said that. After that, Xiao Xia knew about it, so she went to find Du Cheng. Du Cheng insisted that she was raped... So she took Du Cheng to the police station and said that Du Cheng was attempted rape. Yes, it was the word attempted. Later, the police came to our family quarters to look for him. Hey, the one who pried open the door turned out to be the second son of the old Ren family. Do you recognize him? He is still in high school, a student. In the end, after checking, our old Yuan also confirmed that the student was the one who escaped that night, so now Du Cheng is not the one who pried open the door, but he was talking nonsense in the yard and was locked up and has not been released. You see, he was locked up for talking nonsense, it sounds scary."
Xie Jinxuan said coldly: "Thank you, I know what's going on. Qingtang is at grandma's house, I'll be there now."
After saying that, he rode his bike to the small Western-style building.
At this time, Xia Qingtang should still be on her way home from get off work. Xie Jinxuan walked into the house and immediately pulled her grandmother aside to ask for details.
Grandma told him the whole story from beginning to end. After Xie Jinxuan finished listening, he turned around and was about to leave. Grandma stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I have something to do outside." Xie Jinxuan had a blank expression on her face and her tone sounded very calm, but her deep black eyes were filled with ferocity.
Grandma whispered, "Qingtang will be home soon. I can guess what you want to do, but you can't go now. You should wait for Qingtang to come back at home and spend some time with her. Qingtang must be feeling bad after going through so many things in the past few days. She looks very calm and keeps saying that she is fine, but how can she really be fine?"
Xie Jinxuan checked the time and said, "Qingtang usually doesn't come back so early. I'll go out first and then pick her up at the bus stop in time."
"She now rides her bike to and from get off work, so she will be back earlier. Today is Wednesday and she doesn't have to go to the teacher's class. She should be back in a few minutes. Listen to grandma, put your things down, wash your hands and face, calm down, and when Qingtang comes back, the first thing you should do is to accompany her well." Grandma said earnestly, "I think Qingtang handled the previous matter very well, but she is actually holding back a lot of anger in her heart. Don't think you are the only one who wants to teach that bastard a lesson."
Xie Jinxuan took a deep breath, and the fierceness in his eyes gradually faded away. He closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then whispered, "I know. I'll go wash my face now."
Grandma let go of her hand, let Xie Jinxuan put down her luggage bag, and then go wash her face and change clothes.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Xia Qingtang came back on her bicycle. She was greeting the neighbors along the way. When she arrived at the door of her house and just jumped off the bicycle, she saw the tall and handsome Xie Jinxuan standing in the yard, smiling at her.
"You're back!" Xia Qingtang dropped his bicycle and ran over, jumping directly onto him.
This time she didn't care whether anyone could see her or not, she just clung to him and didn't want to get off.
Xie Jinxuan felt extremely distressed and could only whisper over and over again: "I'm sorry I came back so late."
Grandma and Aunt Six stood at the door and looked at the two of them. Xia Qingtang hugged his neck tightly and said after a long while: "You guys are on a business trip for a really long time this time. I miss you so much."
"I miss you too. I'm sorry for making you suffer." Xie Jinxuan kissed her hair gently.
"You know about Du Cheng?" Xia Qingtang took a deep breath, jumped off his body, and said, "He should be locked up for another ten days before being released. Although I know your family would not do anything shameful, I really want to know, do you know anyone in there? Can you find a way to make him suffer a little?"
Xia Qingtang has never been an extreme person. Even when facing a bad guy like Kong Liangchao, she has never thought of using despicable means to make him suffer, because being with the Kong family was her own choice in her previous life, and she also has her own responsibility.
But she had nothing to do with Du Cheng, and she didn't know this person. However, Du Cheng had been behaving abnormally since the first time they met, and this time he wanted to force her into a desperate situation. This unprovoked and ruthless attack made Xia Qingtang want to beat him to death.
You are unkind and I am unjust. He is just crazy, but you allow him to be crazy openly, but not others to be crazy secretly?
She didn't speak loudly, so Grandma and Sixth Aunt who were standing by the door didn't hear her, but Xie Jinxuan could hear it clearly.
After hearing her words, Xie Jinxuan immediately whispered, "Don't worry, I was just about to go out to look for someone, but grandma said you were about to get off work, so she asked me to wait for you at home and stay with you for a while."
"Then you don't have to accompany me. Go find someone now. I don't want to waste time." Xia Qingtang said in a deep voice: "There are some things I don't know how to say, but I know there must be a way to make him live a life worse than death, and there will be no problem found."
In the 1990s, many TV dramas were produced very well, and they dared to film anything in black and white. In addition, Hong Kong films were very popular, so Xia Qingtang was of course aware of this.
Xie Jinxuan was slightly surprised, but quickly said, "Don't you really need me to accompany you for a while?"
Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "You're already back, so an hour or two won't make a difference. What I want more now is for the bad guys to get the punishment they deserve."
"I understand. I'll go now." Xie Jinxuan lowered her head and kissed her on the forehead, then said, "How about you go with me?"
Xia Qingtang shook his head: "No, it will be inconvenient if you take me with you. Although I don't know who you are looking for, it is obviously more convenient and less noticeable for you to go alone. I won't say anything else. You must know more about this than me. I just believe that you will give me the best answer."
"Don't worry, I will. I'll go now, and you wait for me to come back for dinner." Xie Jinxuan kissed her again, turned around and went to push the bicycle.
Grandma was surprised and asked, "Jinxuan, where are you going? Aren't you going to accompany Qingtang?"
Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "Grandma, Jinxuan went out to buy something. She bought it for me."
Grandma looked at her eyes and Xie Jinxuan's eyes, and suddenly understood what was going on. She could only say, "Okay, Jinxuan, will you come back for dinner tonight?"
Xie Jinxuan said, "I'm coming back. I'll be back after I finish shopping. Grandma, please wait for me."
"Okay, then you be careful and stay safe." Grandma waved at him and watched him ride out with Xia Qingtang.
After Xie Jinxuan left, Xia Qingtang pushed the ladies' bicycle parked outside the yard gate in, put it in the yard, and locked it.
Grandma took her to the living room and whispered, "Don't let grandpa know that Jinxuan went out to buy things."
Xia Qingtang nodded: "I understand even if grandma doesn't tell me. I will definitely not let grandpa know."
"Your grandfather is a smart man. I'm afraid even if I don't say anything, he can guess it."
"No, this time, even if she is guessed, I believe Jinxuan will do it without leaving any clues. Even if someone wants to ask something, they won't be able to find a reason." Xia Qingtang said: "There is no evidence, do they want to wrongly accuse me? Don't worry, grandma, I believe Jinxuan will do it properly."
"Oh, that's right. Our Jinxuan has always been a smart child." Grandma said, "It's just that the old man is too old-fashioned. You said that such a big thing happened to the child at home, and he didn't help at all. If you tell others about it, who wouldn't blame him? You two don't blame him, which is already sensible. Anyway, even if Jinxuan did something, the old man wouldn't dare to say anything."
Xia Qingtang laughed along: "Grandpa actually spoils Jinxuan quite a bit. I think it's okay even if she's discovered."
Grandma said: "Isn't it because Jinxuan is actually the most like him? The old man likes to say that none of my sons look like me, only this eldest grandson looks like me the most."
Aunt Six said, "In terms of looks, Jinxuan still looks more like an old lady."
"Of course, Jinxuan inherited my beauty."
The few of them laughed for a while, and Xie Jinyun came back from her classmate's house with her schoolbag on her back. They ended their chat, and Aunt Six continued to cook dinner.
Xia Qingtang went upstairs to put away her backpack. When she saw the luggage bag on the floor, she opened it and tidied it up. She took out the clothes that were obviously worn and not washed, and then took them to the bathroom to wash.
However, Xie Jinxuan was a very clean person, so the only things in his bag were the dirty clothes that he had taken off yesterday and had not had time to wash. The other clothes had been washed and hung out to dry, and then placed neatly in the bag, separated from the dirty clothes with oil paper, which was very meticulous.
After washing and hanging the clothes, Xia Qingtang went downstairs. Sixth Aunt had already prepared dinner, but Xie's mother and Xie Jinxuan had not come back yet, so everyone was waiting for them.
At half past six, Xie's mother came back. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "It's time to eat. I've been busy all day and I'm really hungry."
Grandma said: "Jinxuan hasn't come back yet, let's wait for him."
"Has Jinxuan returned from his business trip?" Xie's mother asked, "He just came back and went out again?"
"Yes, he went out to buy some food and said he would be back for dinner, so let's wait for him." Grandma said, "If you are hungry, you can eat first."
"Forget it, I'll just eat a cookie and wait for Jinxuan to come back to eat together. He's been out for so long, I want to talk to him too."
It was not until six-fifty that Xie Jinxuan came back from outside.
He came in with a package of things wrapped in oil paper in his hand and handed it to grandma: "Grandma, this is a fried cake, it's still hot, how about eating it for dinner?"
Xie's mother asked, "You went out just to buy this oil cake?"
"Yes, this is not an ordinary fried cake. This fried cake does not require food coupons, and it is especially delicious." Xie Jinxuan blinked.
Xie's mother said, "Oh, it's the kind sold privately. I heard about it from someone. You are really brave. You actually dare to buy something like this to eat. Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will punish you if he finds out?"
"But this fried cake is delicious. It's filled with sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean paste. You'll know if you try it, Mom." Xie Jinxuan said as she opened the oil paper package. Sure enough, there were ten palm-sized fried cakes inside. Each one was fried in oil and looked and smelled very fragrant.
Mother Xie had never eaten this kind of privately sold food before. Upon hearing this, she really took one and took a bite. Her eyes widened immediately: "Wow, it's delicious!"
"Right? This is delicious. I bought it for Qingtang, and as soon as I came back, she said she wanted to eat this pancake. But I wasn't sure if they were selling it today, so I had to try my luck out there. Fortunately, I was lucky and bought ten of them. They made them especially for me because I'm a regular customer." Xie Jinxuan said, "Let's eat these tonight! Where's Xiaoyun? It's time for dinner!"
Xie Jinyun came running down the stairs with a pencil in his hand. He was so excited to see his brother that he ran over and gave him a bear hug, almost knocking the oil cake in Xie Jinxuan's hand to the ground.
Everyone laughed, and Xie's mother asked, "Do you miss your brother so much?"
Xie Jinyun said: "Yes, mom, don't you miss your brother?"
"I'm fine. It's not his first business trip. How can I miss him so much?" Mother Xie rubbed her son's head and said with a smile, "Okay, put down your pen and wash your hands. Your brother also bought some fried cakes. I'm eating them now. They're really delicious."
Xia Qingtang and Aunt Liu brought out dinner, so everyone washed their hands and sat down at the dining table.
Dinner was rice cooked with dried sweet potatoes, and the side dishes were stir-fried vegetables with dried tofu, stir-fried black fungus, and a plate of fried eggs with leeks because Xie Jinxuan had returned. The other two dishes were pickles, including dried radish and fermented tofu, all made by Aunt Liu herself.
Sixth Aunt passed the scrambled eggs to Xie Jinxuan, and he quickly took the bowl and stepped aside, saying, "We had a good meal this time, and we're not greedy at all. Let Qingtang and Xiaoyun eat more of these eggs."
Aunt Six smiled and said, "They're not greedy. We had fish stew on Sunday. It was a big pot with a big fish. It's a pity you weren't here."
Xie Jinxuan said: "Then make it for me this Sunday."
"I won't cook this Sunday. Qingtang said that as long as you come back, she will cook on Sunday and invite us to dinner. I'm just waiting to eat the ready-made food." Aunt Liu said with a smile.
Xie Jinxuan said, "Didn't we agree to go to the paper mill to visit my aunt this Sunday?"
After hearing this, Xia Qingtang was obviously stunned: "Really? How could I have forgotten it?"
"You were frightened by what happened, so you forgot the important things." Xie's mother said, "You are going to visit Qingtang's aunt on Sunday? That's a big event. Jinxuan, have you prepared a gift?"
"Not yet, but it will be in time in two days. Just prepare cigarettes and white wine, and bring two packs of snacks." Xie Jinxuan said as she picked up an egg for Xia Qingtang.
Aunt Six asked curiously, "Qingtang, you didn't visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, so why are you willing to visit your aunt's house now?"
"We met my aunt on the road last time. She chatted with me for a while. I felt that she was not a bad person. She also invited us to visit her, so I agreed." Xia Qingtang said: "Among my relatives, my aunt and I don't have any conflicts. We can visit each other occasionally in the future."
Everyone laughed, and grandma said, "I only knew that Qingtang's two uncles were not good people and often bullied Qingtang. Now that I heard you say that your aunt is not bad, I feel relieved. Finally, there is a relative who treats you well."
Xie Jinyun asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, do you have no relatives on your father's side? I only heard you talk about your grandmother, uncle, and aunt. Don't you have any uncles, aunts, or cousins?"
Xia Qingtang said, "Yes, but my grandparents died very early, and my father is a taciturn person, so he didn't interact much with his own brothers. I also have an aunt who married and moved to another place many years ago. I remember seeing her once when I was five or six years old, and I haven't seen her since. Now there is only an uncle and a younger uncle in the city, but the younger uncle and my father don't have a good relationship, and they haven't been in touch for many years. As for my uncle, my parents used to go there two or three times a year, and they would go there to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year. But my uncle is like my mother, he doesn't like girls. I was not allowed to sit at the table at their house, and I ate the leftovers of the adults and boys. So I didn't want to go to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle during the Chinese New Year, mainly because I didn't want to go there and suffer. It's not like I can't have food at home, so why should I go to his house to eat leftovers."
Xie Jinyun's eyes widened and said, "How can there be such a person? He doesn't allow girls to sit at the table, and he wants to eat leftovers. This is too much of a bully! Doesn't he have a daughter himself?"
Xia Qingtang said: "He has daughters, not just one. He gave birth to four daughters in a row, and only had a son when he was the fifth. He raised him with great care. None of his four daughters had a good life. They all worked hard for their younger brother like old oxen. Even after getting married, my cousin also had to support her family, just to let her younger brother live a good life."
In her previous life, the four daughters of her uncle’s family were similar to her. They were all sucked dry by their natal families all their lives.
For example, the second cousin married well and was able to get money, so she gave money to her younger brother. The eldest cousin was poor and her husband was also poor, so they couldn't afford to give money. So she cleaned and changed bedding for her cousin's house for free every week. In winter, she washed all the thick clothes in her cousin's house by hand.
Later, my eldest cousin retired and helped my cousin to pick up the children and cook dinner, doing a better job than a nanny.
Everyone couldn't help but frown. Xie Jinyun said, "They are too stupid. Their parents treat them like this, why do they still have to make sacrifices for their parents? I really don't understand what they are thinking. Aren't they stupid?"
Mother Xie patted her youngest son's head gently and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"But I'm stupid. If you treat me badly, abuse me, exploit me, and ask me to make money to raise your son, I won't do it! Where there is oppression, there should be resistance!" Xie Jinyun stuck out her tongue.
Xia Qingtang held the bowl of rice and fell into deep thought.
In fact, she was also such a girl in her previous life. She was favored by her parents over girls all her life. Even though she was abused for many years, she would still devote her heart and soul to her family in the end, as if she would be letting someone down if she didn't do so.
But why is this? A normal person should be like Xie Jinyun.
You've been so mean to me, and I should still be nice to you. Am I such a shame?
Xie Jinxuan suddenly said, "Xiao Yun, you think this way because you have never been abused by your parents. You know what normal parents are and what normal brothers and sisters are, so you think you can resist them because you know that is wrong. But Qingtang's cousins have been instilled by their parents since childhood: you are all redundant when you are born, and raising you to this age is a gift to you, so you must be grateful and repay your parents, sell yourself, and contribute everything you have to your brother. You live for your brother. If you were educated like this since childhood, are you sure you won't be brainwashed and think this way?"
The whole table was silent for a moment, and Xia Qingtang's heart leapt, as if she finally understood why she had been enslaved for so many years in her previous life.
Because she, like her uncle's four daughters, had been domesticated for too long and had long lost the correct understanding.
They have been educated like that since childhood. Unless they have the opportunity to get a better education or go out and broaden their horizons, they will never realize that all this is wrong and that they should fight back.
Even if they feel that this is not right, they cannot clearly explain what is wrong. In the end, they can only fall into self-denial, doubting that they have not done well enough. After that, they will redouble their efforts to please their parents and do more for their brothers at home.
"Yes, Jinxuan is right." Xia Qingtang tightly grasped Xie Jinxuan's hand, and then said in a deep voice: "I used to be like this. I was educated like that since I was a child. Even if I sometimes felt uncomfortable, because I had never seen what was right and what was normal, I would always follow their ideas and think that I was a daughter and had to give everything for the boys in the family. Moreover, because we didn't get the love of our parents since we were young, they only loved our brothers and younger brothers, but we are also human beings, and we also want the love of our parents, so we will double our efforts for our brothers and younger brothers, thinking that by doing so, our parents can give us a little love. It took me a long time to realize that this was wrong. My uncle's four daughters were not as lucky as me, and they didn't have the opportunity to awaken like me. If you want to get out of this quagmire, you can only do so by reading more and gaining knowledge. Just like Jinxuan said, we have to see what normal parents are, what normal brothers and sisters are, and after seeing more, we will know that it is wrong to be like that at home. After seeing too much, resentment, and no longer wanting to please parents. Without their love, it's no big deal, don't you still have yourself? Loving yourself is also love!"
After these words were spoken, several people fell into silence again.
After about five or six seconds, Xie Jinyun suddenly put down his chopsticks and clapped his hands. He looked at Xia Qingtang with a look as if he wanted to cry. He said, "Sister-in-law, you are amazing. I misunderstood you before. You don't interact with your parents, and you don't visit relatives during the New Year. I was wondering why someone would be like this, how could someone not even recognize their parents and relatives? I didn't think about the fact that you grew up in such an environment and suffered so much. If you want to get out of that environment, you have to completely stop interacting with them. Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was really wrong, woo woo woo woo..."
As she spoke, Xie Jinyun covered her mouth and started crying.
Grandma's eyes were also red. She grabbed Xia Qingtang's other hand across the table and said seriously, "Xiao Yun is right, Qingtang, you must have spent more courage than we can imagine to leave your family. Grandma doesn't even dare to think about how you have been through all these years."
Xia Qingtang said very easily: "I am just lucky, so I can understand this. But now as I talk to you, I seem to realize that when I have the ability and courage, I should also talk to my cousins and tell them not to let my uncle and cousin suck their blood anymore. They are all human beings, not livestock raised by vampires."
Xie Jinyun suddenly cried even louder. He said, “Wuwuwuwu…Sister-in-law, why are you so kind? Wuwuwuwuwu…”
His behavior made his grandmother, whose eyes were red, laugh. Mother Xie wiped her son's tears with a handkerchief, and then said to Xia Qingtang, "Since you have such an idea, you can go to work in the Women's Federation in the future. You can help our female compatriots there. I just don't know what procedures are required to transfer from the factory to the Women's Federation. Do I have to go to college?"
Xia Qingtang said: "I will consider it, but I can't help others now because I'm not strong enough or brave enough."
Xie Jinxuan suddenly said, "You are very brave. I heard from grandma how you dealt with Du Cheng. No one would dare to do that without full courage. Moreover, not only are you brave, you are also very smart and quick to react. If it were me, I might not be able to make such an accurate response at that moment."
Xia Qingtang laughed: "You guys are praising me to the sky, but I really didn't think that much at the time. I just felt that everyone in the courtyard knew about his nonsense, so even if it was a false accusation, I had to put him in jail to relieve my hatred!"
Everyone laughed at this. Xie's mother said, "That's not a false accusation. You are just protecting yourself."
Xie Jinyun wiped her tears and said, "Our classmates were still talking about this today. It has spread outside, but everyone is talking about a bad guy named Du Cheng who tried to pry open the door at night and has now been arrested. My sister-in-law's name has not been mentioned by anyone."
Grandma said, "Your grandfather held a meeting with everyone and issued a clear order prohibiting the spread of rumors and gossip. If anyone is found out, they will be criticized by name within the unit. After all these years, this is the first time that the old man has abused his power for personal gain."
"Then when grandpa comes back, I will thank him very much." Xia Qingtang said.
Grandma immediately said, "Then don't do that. The old man won't admit that he abused his power for personal gain, and this kind of behavior should be curbed. In the past, there was also a female comrade in their unit who was slandered like this, and it almost caused a big incident. The female comrade applied for a transfer to the county, and the matter was settled."
Xie Jinyun said: "But that bad guy, will he be released after being locked up for a few days? I feel like it's too easy for him."
"If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. He has been detained for ten days. His company might fire him. Even if they don't, he will be like this for the rest of his life. And if you want, you can scold him every time you see him." Xie's mother said, "Of course, you are a child. I don't recommend you to swear. You can scold him with other words."
"For example? How should I curse?" Xie Jinyun looked curious.
"Oh, I don't know. I'm not good at swearing." Xie's mother said, "Okay, now that you're not crying, can you eat well?"
So everyone continued to eat. Not only did they finish all the dishes, they also ate most of the fried cakes. In the end, they left two there, planning to give one to each of Grandpa Xie and Xie Chengye after they came back.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xie Jinxuan took a shower and returned to the bedroom, and then she started talking about asking someone to do something for her.
"I have found a very reliable person who will do something to Du Cheng inside, and it will definitely not be discovered." Xie Jinxuan said: "I will send some money over tomorrow. How much cash do you have at home now?"
"I left more than 300 yuan at home. Is that enough? If not, I will go to withdraw money tomorrow." Xia Qingtang said.
"Two hundred is enough. The person I'm looking for is a friend of mine. Money is not a part of our relationship. The money is for the person who did the action inside, and for the people who helped cover up for him."
Xia Qingtang nodded: "Then I will put two hundred yuan on the table tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Xie Jinxuan hugged her gently and whispered, "Don't worry, hasn't Du Cheng been saying that you were raped? This time, he will taste what it means to be raped. In the future, I don't think he dares to spew shit."
Xia Qingtang wasn't too surprised when he heard this, after all, he had seen similar plots in Hong Kong movies.
"Oh, the person who collected the money...made a great sacrifice..." Xia Qingtang said.
Xie Jinxuan turned her head and looked at her: "You know a lot."
"It's just so-so. You know a lot about it, don't you? Actually, I was thinking of using some other minor tortures. They are safe and reliable, and it's not easy to detect injuries."
Xie Jinxuan asked with some interest: "What kind of torture is it?"
"Use a fine needle."
Xie Jinxuan nodded: "This is a good method. I'll take note of it. I'll tell my friends tomorrow and ask them to do the same. It's okay if they need to pay extra."
Xia Qingtang said, "Then I'll leave it to them. You don't know, I was really pissed this time. If I could get in, I would have wanted to make him suffer. You said that I have some grudge against the Kong guy, but why did Du Cheng want to hurt me like this? I have no grudge against him, does he have some mental problems? If he is a lunatic, he won't continue to be crazy after he gets out, right?"
Xie Jinxuan said, "How could he be a lunatic? He is more sober than anyone else. He was rude to you at first probably because he had some conflicts with me in the past, and he wanted to insult me and embarrass me by using verbal tricks. But what he did this time might be caused by the slap you gave him last time."
"I understand. It's obviously because the slap wasn't painful enough. I'll make sure he's hurt enough this time. I don't think he'll dare to do anything immoral again!"
Seeing that she was so angry that her face turned red again, Xie Jinxuan quickly said, "Calm down. When the guys inside take action, you will feel relieved."
"Well, I've been waiting." Xia Qingtang snuggled into his arms, "I haven't seen you for so long, I really miss you, but I'm really not in the mood today."
"It's okay, you should rest well and have a good sleep, we'll talk about anything later." Xie Jinxuan bent down and kissed her, then hugged her and went to sleep quietly.
That night, Xia Qingtang did have a good sleep. She had been dreaming for the past two nights. Although they were not nightmares, she still felt uncomfortable all over when she woke up.
Now that Xie Jinxuan is by my side, I no longer have dreams. When I wake up, I feel refreshed and I don’t even feel angry anymore.
She happily washed up and ran downstairs. When she saw her grandmother, she asked, "Where's Jinxuan? Did you come back from your morning run?"
"You're back. You're talking to your grandfather in the study." Grandma said with a smile, "You look like you've regained your spirits."
"Yes, I am refreshed again. I shouldn't be distracted and criticized during class tonight." Xia Qingtang clapped his hands, "I haven't told Jinxuan that I have already started the class."
Just then, Xie Jinxuan opened the door of the study and walked out with her grandfather. Upon hearing this, she asked, "Have you started taking classes at Teacher Guan's house?"
"Yes, after work on the afternoon of 246, I will go to see Teacher Chenxiang for lessons." Xia Qingtang ran to Xie Jinxuan.
Xie Jinxuan held her hand and asked, "Why did you choose to have classes at night?"
