Shu Guozhong quickly stopped her.
"Mom...you misunderstood. Ugly Sister didn't hold my dad hostage. It was Village Chief Xu..."
"What happened to Village Chief Xu? Doesn't Village Chief Xu hate those beasts who beat up their elders? Why didn't he help us drive away the ugly monster?"
Turning his head, Ke looked at Shu Guozhong with a questioning look.
"I think it must be you who failed to do your job well. You didn't tell me that the ugly guy wanted to murder me and your brother. No... I have to tell you about it myself!"
This time Shu Guozhong did not try to stop Ke again, but he said something coldly the moment Ke stepped over the threshold.
"The village chief seems to have seen through the real reason why the ugly girl fell into the stinky ditch."
"What?"
Mrs. Ke was startled. She stood stiffly at the door, unable to take another step.
Xiao Qifeng in the room seemed to sense something was amiss. She considered that if she asked her mother-in-law to give Shu Jiaying old clothes, her mother-in-law would definitely feel uncomfortable, so she said, "Mother, since it's Chief Xu's idea, I think I have a set of clothes in my room that are so old that they can't be repaired. Should I ask Guozhong to give them to Choumei?"
Seeing that Mrs. Ke remained silent, Xiao Qifeng winked at Shu Guozhong again.
Shu Guozhong immediately understood and nodded, then ran out of Ke's main house.
Xiao Qifeng also bowed to Ke, who was still standing still, and followed Shu Guozhong out.
Shu Wenqing really couldn't stand the stench on Shu Jiaying. He shook his hands and walked out of the shabby little house in disgust.
However, Village Chief Xu still stayed in the house. He looked at the tiles on the roof that shone all the light on the ground, and then looked at the broken door that was knocked to the ground by Shu Guozhong. Thinking of the kindness Shu Jiaying's mother had given him when she was alive, he suddenly felt guilty.
With a trace of pity, Village Chief Xu looked at Shu Jiaying.
"Jiaying, your roof has so much light. I think you must have suffered a lot when it rained, right?"
Although Shu Jiaying forced a smile, the excess subcutaneous fat blocked her face, making the expression look extremely stiff. After looking at it for a long time, this face made people feel panic.
Village Chief Xu subconsciously shifted his gaze elsewhere.
It was precisely this small expression that damaged Shu Jiaying's self-esteem. However, she was unwilling to bow her head in front of others. She held her chest high and said calmly, "I'm fine. These difficulties are only temporary. I believe that after suffering comes happiness. Uncle Xu, thank you for your concern. I will definitely live a better life in the future."
"oh……"
Village Chief Xu took Shu Jiaying's words as a form of self-consolation, because he knew very well in his heart that as long as Shu Jiaying continued to be oppressed by her stepmother, she would never be able to make a name for herself. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to help this poor ugly girl. He blurted out, "My mother sprained her ankle a few days ago and has been having trouble moving around lately. Jiaying girl...would you like to help me take care of your Grandma Xu? If you agree, I'll tell your father to let you stay at my house for a few days."
Although Village Chief Xu knew that his family was not well-off, it was better for Shu Jiaying to stay in his house than to stay here and be bullied. Although he could not help Shu Jiaying for the rest of her life, he thought that a few days would give this girl a chance to breathe.
