"Yaojie's mother, why did you call me back in such a hurry?" Zhao Erleng's wife asked timidly, looking at the room full of people.
"Auntie! Save me!" Before Jiang Ling could speak, Er Ya scrambled over to Zhao Er Leng's wife, hugging her leg and crying.
Zhao Erleng's wife was completely bewildered by this sudden situation. She looked at Jiang Ling and asked with some confusion, "Yaojie's mother, what... what's going on?"
Seeing Er Ya's actions just now, Jiang Hu was about to rush over and grab Er Ya back, but Jiang Ling shook her head at Jiang Hu, signaling him not to act for the time being.
Jiang Ling slowly got up and walked to Zhao Erleng's wife's side. She said to Zhao Erleng's wife, "Sister-in-law Erleng, my name is Jiang Shi, Jiang Ling from Jiang Family Village. After I married into Lu Family Village, I was first brutally abused by Lu Youren and his wife. Later, I got a divorce and lived alone with my children. You helped me a lot in the beginning, and I am very grateful to you!"
Zhao Erleng's wife was even more taken aback by these words. She frowned and looked at Jiang Ling, muttering softly, "Why did you say all this!"
At this moment, Jiang Ling was truly furious. She slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and strode over to Zhao Erleng's wife. Pointing at Er Ya, who was trembling at her feet, she said, "Do you know what this child has done?"
"I never imagined that a girl who's only three or four years old could be so vicious! Our Congxin has no grudge against her, yet she's so cruel as to lure Congxin outside and then push her from behind! If it weren't for our Wenxi coming back, who knows what would have happened to our Congxin right now!"
These words struck Zhao Erleng's wife like a thunderbolt. She trembled, shaking her head and backing away in disbelief. "No! Impossible! This...this must be some kind of misunderstanding?"
When Er Ya heard her aunt say this, she gripped her aunt's leg even tighter, crying and protesting, "Auntie, save me! I didn't! I didn't! They're framing me! They're framing me!"
Seeing Er Ya crying uncontrollably, Zhao Erleng's wife gradually felt pity for her. She looked at Jiang Ling and hesitated before speaking again, "Yaojie's mother, is there really some misunderstanding in this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling gave a cold laugh. She looked at Zhao Erleng's wife and said, "Then I have a plan here. Do you want Er Ya to try it? Don't worry, it definitely won't cause Er Ya any physical pain. We're all from the same village, and I won't force a confession, right?"
Zhao Erleng's wife hesitated for a moment. She turned to look at Er Ya, who, upon hearing that she wouldn't suffer physical pain, wanted to argue one more time. She wiped away her tears and said to Jiang Ling, "Fine! I will prove my innocence!"
Seeing Er Ya's confident demeanor, Jiang Ling even had a moment of disbelief, wondering if she had misunderstood Er Ya.
"Okay, wait a minute! A few days ago, our White-Haired Goddess appeared to me in a dream and gave me a lie detector pouch. This pouch is very magical. As long as you put your hand at the bottom of the pouch, it can determine whether a person is lying or not. If they are lying, their fingers will turn black. If they are not lying, their fingers will remain unharmed!"
After explaining, Jiang Ling turned and went to the bedroom alone. She bought a waterproof burlap sack and a bottle of ink from the mall, poured some ink into the sack, and took it out.
"Since Er Ya says we've wronged you, do you dare to try?" Jiang Ling said, gently shaking the sack in her hand.
"This...what's there to be afraid of! But they want to test!" Er Ya pointed arrogantly at the four old women and Jiang Wenxi!
Jiang Wenxi was so angry that her nose almost crooked. She walked up to Jiang Ling, and before Jiang Ling could speak, she reached her hand inside. Then, with her back to Er Ya, she raised her hand.
Jiang Ling nodded in satisfaction. After Jiang Ling had looked through the sacks, she placed them in front of Er Ya.
"Dare to give it a try?" Jiang Ling asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? Anyway, I didn't lie!" Er Ya said, reaching her hand inside.
Before long, Er Ya raised her fair fingers and looked at Jiang Ling with a slightly provocative expression.
Jiang Ling gave a cold laugh, her gaze like a sharp blade piercing towards Er Ya. She grabbed Er Ya's fair hand and scolded, "You're still being stubborn, aren't you!"
Er Ya, unaware of Jiang Ling's true intentions, immediately broke free and cried out, "Let me go! Let me go! What are you doing! My hands are unharmed, why are you accusing me!"
Jiang Ling looked at everyone and said, "Show her your hands!"
When everyone's hands reached out to Er Ya, she felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her throat, causing her to fall to the ground with a thud, her eyes filled with despair.
"Er Ya, your cleverness has backfired. I believe you understand this principle. Do you think you can get away with it by not reaching all the way in? Look at everyone else's hands, they're all black, only yours are clean! And you still dare to argue?" Jiang Ling's voice rose several octaves at the end!
Zhao Erleng's wife was also stunned. She looked at Er Ya in front of her in shock. She didn't know when this girl with a little bit of intelligence had become so vicious.
Thinking of this, Zhao Erleng's wife raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
Jiang Ling remained indifferent as she watched everything unfold. After the beating, she said, "Sister-in-law Er Leng, the reason I still called you was because I always remembered the kindness you had shown me. If you're going to hit a child, take him home and do it there. What's with this whole thing?"
Zhao Erleng's wife blushed deeply after being spoken to. She lowered her head and looked at her feet, not knowing what to say for a moment. To be honest, anyone would be extremely angry in this situation.
"Bring her parents here! This has nothing to do with you!" Jiang Ling's tone was so cold that even Zhao Erleng's wife shivered.
"this……"
"No! Aunt! Aunt! Please, please, don't bring my parents here. My dad will beat me to death if he finds out!" Er Ya seemed to have realized what was happening. She grabbed Zhao Er Leng's wife's leg and cried as she pleaded.
"Er Ya! That's enough! How dare you do such a thing!" Zhao Er Leng's wife also scolded angrily.
In despair, Er Ya fixed her gaze on Jiang Yaojie and crawled toward him on all fours. What she said next struck Jiang Ling like a thunderbolt from the blue.
"Young Master Jiang! Young Master Jiang! Don't you like me? Please, please plead for me!"
"You're talking nonsense!" The usually amiable Jiang Yaojie kicked Er Ya and cursed at the same time.
"You vicious bitch! You pushed my wife and spread rumors that I like you? Even if I liked that pig in our backyard, I would never like you!" Jiang Yaojie felt nauseous looking at Er Ya, whose nose and tears were mixed together.
Er Ya scrambled to her feet and, like a persistent leech, continued, "No! No! Impossible! Young Master Jiang, you don't like me! Why won't you let me wash the vegetables? You must be worried about me, right? Right!"
