Cai Xiaoyu's words were full of expectation, but while she spoke words of utmost concern, her eyes showed no care or worry whatsoever, only calculation.
Faced with Cai Xiaoyu like this, Yang Wanqiu felt a surge of disgust. She looked at Cai Xiaoyu, forced a smile, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Xiaoyu, thank you. I was really angry when those people wronged me, which is why I acted impulsively without considering the consequences."
But I still want to thank you for being willing to testify for me in front of so many people. Thank you, Xiaoyu.
Cai Xiaoyu thought her scheme had succeeded and that Yang Wanqiu had agreed to let her move in and take care of her. So she quickly and gently held Yang Wanqiu's hand and comforted her, "Sister Wanqiu, don't say that. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you."
Yang Wanqiu looked at Cai Xiaoyu, who had a smug look on her face, and cursed her as an idiot in her heart.
Even if she had deliberately injured herself with her head, Yang Wanqiu knew better than anyone that she really needed to rest in bed and would never let Cai Xiaoyu help take care of her.
At this point, no one in the educated youth settlement knew that Cai Xiaoyu was not only greedy for small gains but also had a dirty hand. How could she possibly have hired someone like that to live with her?
Upon hearing this, Yang Wanqiu quickly pulled her hand away from Cai Xiaoyu's large hand and declined with a smile, saying, "No need for that. I feel much better now, and I should be fine after a good night's sleep. So thank you, Cai Qingqing. I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for you to move in and take care of me."
Yang Wanqiu's words froze Cai Xiaoyu's smile on her face. She leaned close to Yang Wanqiu's ear with an incredulous look and whispered, "Yang Wanqiu, I saw clearly what you and that Accountant Wang were doing on the mountain. You know it yourself."
If I hadn't testified for you, would you still be lying here perfectly fine? You would probably have been dragged away by the villagers and publicly criticized by them.
My current request isn't high; I just want to move into your house and live there for the winter.
If you agree to this, then no matter who asks me about what happened on the mountain today, it will be that you accidentally twisted your ankle and Accountant Wang helped you up.
But if you don't agree, then if anyone asks me about what happened today in the future, I'll have to tell them the truth.
Cai Xiaoyu thought that Yang Wanqiu would be scared after she said that, since it was a matter of a girl's reputation and what girl wouldn't be scared?
She had clearly underestimated Yang Wanqiu. This old woman, who had lived for sixty or seventy years in total across two lifetimes, possessed a mental fortitude that was far beyond that of ordinary people.
A contemptuous smile appeared on Yang Wanqiu's lips as she spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "You already testified for me on the mountain just now. Didn't you see me twist my ankle and Accountant Wang help me up?"
So many people have heard it. If we hear anything different from your version of events in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. Spreading rumors and slander is illegal, and the police will take care of it.
"But even if you change your tune now, I'm not afraid. I can easily say that you're trying to blackmail me and are resorting to slander as revenge. After all, no one forced you to say those things on the mountain."
Her voice carried a hint of threat, sending chills down one's spine. Her eyes were cold and ruthless, as if to tell the other person that she was not someone to be trifled with.
At this moment, Cai Xiaoyu finally understood why Yang Wanqiu had always been a loner and why the people in the educated youth settlement didn't like to talk to her. It turned out that Yang Wanqiu was such a terrifying woman.
