Her voice was choked with emotions, and it didn't sound like she was lying at all.
Furthermore, after hearing what she said, the Village Chief noticed that she had dark circles under her eyes and did not look well. She was truly not in a good sleep.
The Village Chief, as well as the surrounding people, all understood what Tang Huai was saying.
Su Lin Fang wanted to borrow Liu Xiaoyu's money to marry her eldest son, but Tang Huai and Tang Li were going to school, so they weren't able to borrow it.
Then the couple took a roundabout route to find out when Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoyu slept, and then stole the passbook.
Unexpectedly, instead of stealing the passbook, it was stung by the scorpion.
Some villagers were extremely disgusted by Peng Jiayao's actions and started to discuss:
"I don't know if he was really attacked by scorpions or not."
"I think they want to bluff. If they can't borrow the money, they want to steal it. If they can't, they want to be compensated."
"Isn't it? "I see, they're all jealous of Liu Xiaoyu for getting paid for selling the pig."
"Didn't Tang Youxin have 4 pigs in his house? If he sells it, won't he get the same amount of money? "
"So, a child without a father is poor, a woman without a man is sad. If I were Liu Xiaoyu, I would remarry. "
"Remarry? Who do you want to remarry to with a bunch of daughters? Which man didn't want to a son? Liu Xiaoyu can't give birth to a son, so I think it'll be hard for her to remarry. "
"What's so difficult about it? Wouldn't it be fine to marry a man who had a son and a dead wife? "It's better than being bullied by a few of her sister-in-law and husband's family, right?"
"..."
Hearing the villagers' words, Shu Yu also felt that Tang Youxin and his wife had gone too far.
Liu Xiaoyu was weak, but she could not be bullied like this.
"This is truly too excessive. How could there be such a person?" Shu Yu said angrily.
The Village Chief looked at Tang Huai and asked, "Have you seen the scorpion?"
Tang Huai shook her head, and her wronged expression was on the verge of breaking. "I didn't see it. I heard second uncle's voice and rushed back." When I rushed into the room, Second Uncle's finger was already bleeding. He was shouting 'Scorpion' when I heard it, and was scared, afraid that Second Uncle would be in trouble, so I told Second Aunt to send it to Aunt Zhong's clinic. After that, I went to look for the scorpion and found nothing.
"It's possible that it wasn't bitten by a poisonous scorpion." The Village Chief said.
He then raised his head and looked around the crowd before his gaze finally landed on Zhong Mu. "Zhong Mu, what's going on?"
Zhong Mu had been standing here for a few minutes now, and things had gotten clear.
Last night when she was helping Tang Youxin to treat his wounds, she was sure that it was the scorpions that had injured him. She had cleaned up the poison, but she wasn't sure if it was safe or not, and since she didn't have any water in her clinic, she let Tang Youxin rush to the town's hospital to have an injection overnight.
If she said that Tang Youxin was injured by scorpion, Peng Jiayao would hold on to Tang Huai and argue for her to pay.
Moreover, Tang Huai was right about this matter. Tang Youxin had the intention to steal the money.
Perhaps, the heavens were blaming Tang Youxin for stealing money, which was why he let the scorpion hurt him.
"The wound is very light, as if he was stabbed by a rusty needle. After I treated his wound, the clinic didn't have any medicine, so Tang Youxin is worried. Since he can't be at ease, I suggested that he go to the town and get some medicine from the hospital."
When Tang Huai, who lowered her head to look at her feet, heard Zhong Mu's words, her eyes lit up and a trace of surprise flashed within.
She didn't expect Zhong Mu to speak up for her.
How could Zhong Mu not know that Tang Touxin wound was caused by a scorpion?
It seemed that they all felt that Tang Youxin is a thief, so she helped her.
When Peng Jiayao heard this, she nearly fainted from anger. However, she didn't dare point at Zhong Mu and scold her. She still had to go to her clinic to clean up.
Every time she took a break, she would smile happily and tell Zhong Mu that she would be able to get the money another day. However, she didn't get it at all.
She didn't dare to offend Zhong Mu, but Tang Huai was different.
"Even if it wasn't caused by the scorpion, it was at your home. You have to pay for the medical fees!" Peng Jiayao glared at Tang Huai.
When the time came, she would make Tang Youxin have the money to say that the medical fees were 1000!
This damned girl had a thousand taels of silver and had lost a thousand. There were still two hundred taels left, she couldn't be starved to death!
When Tang Huai heard that she was going to lose money, she felt so wronged that she was about to cry.
She raised her head and looked at the village head with tears in her eyes, "Uncle Jing, I really don't have any medical fees to pay Second Uncle. I don't know how Second Uncle got hurt or if he was stealing the money, but. "Uncle Jing, if we lose money, Tang Li and I won't have the money to go to school and my sister won't have the money to eat … …"
"Ah Pa, although Tang Youxin wasn't able to steal the money, his actions are already against the law. We should send the thief to the detention center." Jing Peng said.
"That's right, we should send him to the Public Security Bureau." Shu Yu agreed.
"Who said that money is stolen? He didn't steal any money! " Peng Jiayao panicked when she heard that they were going to put him in detention.
She glared at Tang Huai. "Your second uncle never said he was going to steal your money! You damned girl, are you going to wrongly accuse your second uncle? "
Tang Huai: "I also didn't say that Second Uncle stole the money." He just wanted to steal her passbook.
The Village Chief's face was gloomy. "Whether the money was stole or not, we'll know when Tang Youxin got back."
"He won't admit it." Jing Peng said.
"Maybe my second uncle really didn't go to steal money. Village Head, when my second uncle comes back, I will ask him. " Tang Huai said.
"You damned girl, if you had lent money to your second uncle, you wouldn't have caused so much trouble!" Peng Jiayao pointed at Tang Huai and scolded.
"Aunt Tang, this isn't right. Tang Huai's money must be kept for studying. If she were to lend it to you, how would she have the money to pay the tuition fees?" The money belongs to Tang Huai. so she can decide if money can be borrowed, then lending it or not is not wrong. How can you blame her like this? " Shu Yu couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she started to talk about Peng Jiayao.
"This is my family's business, Shu Yu. Although your man is the village chief, you can't meddle with my family's business." Peng Jiayao was very dissatisfied with Shu Yu's way of speaking to her.
Before the reform and opening up period, Tang Peijun, Peng Jiayao husband, was the production team's captain. At that time, Peng Jiayao was very arrogant, and her arrogance had already seeped into her bones. Even now, when the reform and opening period was over, she was still very proud.
Peng Jiayao harrumphed coldly in her heart. If her son was promising, if he had not reform and opening up, Twin Dragon Village would be the biggest village in her world. How could it even reach the village chief?
If Tang Ying hadn't wanted to marry into the Jing Family, Peng Jiayao wouldn't have given face to the Village Head.
Furthermore, she was cursing her dead granddaughter for having nothing to do with anyone else.
Shu Yu pursed her lips. This was someone else's problem. She should not have said much, but as a grandma, Peng Jiayao was going too far.
Tang Huai said " This isn't your family matter, you repeatedly call me and Mama a slut, you call me a wild child, you call Mama a fox spirit, you repeatedly say that I'm not your granddaughter, you say Mama is not your daughter-in-law, this relationship, we've long broken off, my business is my business, yours is yours. Tang Huai looked calmly at Peng Jiayao, "When Second Uncle comes back, I want to ask him clearly. If he really wants to steal money, he must be punished by the law." Otherwise, if he fail to steal it this time, what about next time? "
