The investigation team left, and Lin Guilan returned.
Lin Guilan, whose reputation was already ruined, was met with constant rejection from the villagers upon her return. No one spoke to her or paid her any attention.
The villagers are just that simple and honest!
If you hate someone, if you despise someone, then you simply ignore them.
Lin Guilan wasn't very popular before, but the villagers would still talk to her normally and wouldn't target her specifically.
But for now, that's how it is.
Everyone who saw her would keep their distance and avoid her.
Within two days, Lin Guilan couldn't take it anymore.
Especially when even her son, Li Yaoguo, had nothing but kind words for her, Lin Guilan almost broke down.
She ran to the courtyard where Jiang Yi and Song Laidi lived, knelt outside the door, and begged them for forgiveness.
It has to be said that when this woman knelt down there as the former mother-in-law of the two, she immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
"Sister Dani, what should we do?"
When Song Laidi heard Lin Guilan calling from outside, she saw through the crack in the door that the other woman was kneeling outside the courtyard gate. She immediately panicked and rushed into the house to find Jiang Yi.
"It's okay, watch me!"
It's just kneeling, isn't it?
Regardless of whether Lin Guilan has truly repented or is just putting on an act, Jiang Yi has no intention of letting her off easily because of the fact that she caused the deaths of two people.
Two lives!
One belongs to He Maizi.
One of them naturally belonged to Jiang Dani.
Although Jiang Dani will come back to life when she leaves, Jiang Yi does not believe that the person who comes back to life will still be the same person.
Because without her arrival, Jiang Dani would have certainly died.
Therefore, Lin Guilan bears the debt of two lives.
The same goes for Li Dazhu, who knows the truth but pretends not to know anything.
Neither of them is a good person.
Not to mention how difficult this era is.
Just like the lyrics of two songs from later generations, society is simple; it is people who are complicated.
When Jiang Yi pushed open the courtyard gate, there were already many people watching outside, and many of them felt sympathy for Lin Guilan kneeling on the ground.
In their view, Lin Guilan is so old, and she used to be Jiang Dani and Song Laidi's mother-in-law. Even if she made some mistakes, it shouldn't be treated like this!
It's not that these people are saints or saints; it's just human nature.
Have compassion for the weak!
Jiang Yi pushed open the door and stepped out, but before she could speak, someone spoke first.
"Da Ni, look at how your mother-in-law is now. Let bygones be bygones!"
"Yes, yes, we should be forgiving when we can!"
...
Everyone spoke up, all in support of Lin Guilan.
Lin Guilan remained kneeling on the ground, head bowed, muttering to herself that she knew she was wrong.
Jiang Yi raised her hand, signaling the surrounding villagers to be quiet.
The crowd indeed quieted down.
Jiang Yi cleared her throat and said, "Dear uncles and aunts, I have a question for you all. If someone almost killed you, and then knelt in front of you, would you forgive them?"
Do not advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering yourself.
Jiang Yi's simple question left the villagers speechless.
"Uncles and aunts, she, Lin Guilan, drove my eldest daughter-in-law to her death. I was lucky enough to survive. Now that she's kneeling here, do I forgive her?"
"If I forgive her, can my former sister-in-law come back to life?"
"If I could, I would forgive her!"
"Otherwise, even if she hangs herself on my gate, I will never forgive her!"
