Jiang Ye and his mother had just gone to Zhou's house to find Widow Zhou. When Widow Zhou saw the people from the Jiang family, she didn't say anything but just cried, with an expression of a victim.
Jiang's mother was already full of anger and had no place to vent it. Seeing the hypocritical look of the woman who seduced her husband, she wished she could die with her on the spot.
It was Jiang Ye who calmly reprimanded Jiang's mother, and that's why a fight didn't break out at Zhou's house.
They originally came to seek peace with Widow Zhou, but Jiang's mother was more of a hindrance than a help, and she almost got into a fight with Widow Zhou.
Jiang Ye's prepared speech was invalidated on the spot, and he was also in a dilemma.
Widow Zhou put it simply. The two children of their Zhou family are now being ridiculed and bullied by their classmates at school, and she herself can't hold her head up in front of her neighbors.
If they wanted her to withdraw her charges against Jiang Wentao, the Jiang family would have to transfer her two sons to other schools, and she would also have to move.
The Jiang family also had to compensate her with a sum of money to support her future life.
Jiang Ye felt that what Widow Zhou said was reasonable and not too much. After all, it was Jiang Wentao's fault. Being able to solve it with money was better than going to jail and having a criminal record. If he had a criminal record, it would affect his, Jiang Mei's, and even Jiang Jie's future.
Jiang Ye didn't want things to go to this point, but Jiang's mother just didn't agree with Widow Zhou's request. She felt that Widow Zhou and Jiang Wentao were having an affair, not rape.
Jiang's mother vented her anger at Zhou's house with a barrage of nonsense and insults. Even a clay figure would be angry, not to mention that Widow Zhou was not a clay figure.
Jiang Ye gradually developed a feeling of powerlessness about this matter.
Yao Qiyue slowly walked to the seat next to Jiang Ye and sat down. She touched Jiang Ye's shoulder with her shoulder and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I saw you looked listless when I came back. Is Jiang Wentao's condition serious?"
Yao Qiyue was a little uncomfortable calling Jiang Wentao and Wu Meiyue "Mom and Dad." Fortunately, Jiang Ye couldn't hear it now, as he was immersed in his own emotions.
"No. Doctor Zhao said he's recovering well. As long as the wound doesn't get infected, he'll be able to recover slowly."
"I went to Zhou's house today."
"Originally, the Zhou family proposed that as long as we were willing to pay compensation, she would be willing to change her mind. My father would not have to go to jail."
"But......."
"But my mother disagreed and even called me a vixen."
Jiang Ye covered his forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's really at this point that I'm not surprised at all."
Yao Qiyue patted Jiang Ye's shoulder gently: "Even if the Zhou family says Jiang Wentao raped me, they have to have evidence. We can't just let them say it without any evidence."
"Also, Jiang Wentao usually spends time with Widow Zhou. Didn't anyone else see that? There's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable."
Thinking of this, Yao Qiyue decided to help Jiang Wentao. Not to help Jiang Wentao, but to help Jiang Ye. If Jiang Wentao went to jail, it would also have an impact on Xiaobao in the future.
If Xiaobao joins the military or becomes a civil servant, he will not pass the political review.
Thinking of going back here, Yao Qiyue rubbed his forehead with a headache. The most important thing was that Jiang Ye would graduate after the New Year.
If Jiang Wentao went to jail at this time, Jiang Ye's work would become a big problem.
Jiang Ye was not as optimistic as Yao Qiyue. Jiang Wentao usually worked in transportation and the time he spent at home throughout the year was limited, not to mention spending time with Widow Zhou.
For more than a year, even though Jiang Wentao went to see Widow Zhou every time he came back, the number of times was very few.
Even if someone happened to see the two of them together, to be frank, unless they saw what they were doing in bed, no one would suspect that they had anything going on.
"I asked around, and no one has ever seen Jiang Wentao and Zhou Cuiping together."
Jiang Ye had thought of a way. He had asked all his friends in South City and neighbors he could talk to today.
No one would think that Jiang Wentao would cheat. Jiang Wentao loves Wu Meiyue so much that Wu Meiyue makes all the decisions about big and small matters when they get home.
Wu Meiyue just wanted Jiang Ye to stop studying, and Jiang Wentao had no objection.
Wu Meiyue asked Jiang Mei to get married before she reached adulthood, and Jiang Wentao did not stop her.
Every time Jiang Wentao came back in his sports car, he would bring gifts for Wu Meiyue. Neighbors all said that Jiang Wentao loved his wife very much.
Unexpectedly, the image of a loving couple collapsed overnight. Jiang Wentao had originally stolen his friend's girlfriend, but now he raped her.
Neighbors with bad reputations don't want to mention Jiang Wentao's name. As for whether Jiang Wentao was wronged, they can't get rid of the fact that he cheated on his wife.
Jiang Ye really felt a little tired.
He felt that Jiang Wentao would be better off going to jail and reforming himself, so that after he came out, their family might be able to resume a peaceful life.
Yao Qiyue sighed and said, "If you just want money, I still have over a thousand yuan here."
Jiang Ye shook his head: "We didn't do this, why should we ask you to pay?"
"If my father and mother are unwilling to come out, then they will go to jail."
Seeing that Jiang Ye said it without any reluctance, Yao Qiyue couldn't help but feel a little attached to him.
It’s not bad that she didn’t have to use money to help Jiang Wentao clean up the mess.
Jiang Ye had never thought of asking Yao Qiyue to pay for this money. He would go in and ask Jiang Wentao later.
He has been driving for so many years and still has money to support other people. He must have a lot of money. It doesn't make sense for others to clean up the mess he made.
Jiang Ye thought it through and felt much more relaxed.
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
Yao Qiyue went to collect food at noon and did not eat. When the two of them were thinking quietly, her stomach suddenly rumbled.
Jiang Ye took a look and frowned and asked, "Didn't you have lunch?"
Yao Qiyue's face turned a little red with embarrassment, and she nodded.
Jiang Ye sighed and said, "No matter what you do, you must eat on time. Health is the most important thing."
"Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner at the state-owned restaurant."
Yao Qiyue complained a bit, "I've been eating at state-owned restaurants lately, and I'm tired of it."
"It's just the same dishes over and over again. They're not as light as the breakfast you made."
The state-owned restaurant cooked rich fish and meat with plenty of oil. Yao Qiyue ate there for seven or eight days in a row and really missed the porridge cooked by Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye's face finally showed a little smile at this time: "When I get back, I will make it for you every day."
Yao Qiyue watched Jiang Ye gradually relax, and the gloomy aura on his body was gone. She smiled and said, "You'll get tired of eating that every day."
Jiang Ye said seriously, "Then I will learn new dishes, southern dishes, northern dishes, and cook them for you in different ways every day so that you will never get tired of them."
Yao Qiyue was stunned for a moment. Then she said softly, "Okay."
