What should I do?
Xin Yan was thinking as fast as she can but she can't find anything to change the course of today's events, besides everything is developing too fast and it is in the wrong direction. Well I am lucky screamed Xin Yan when no one was expecting her to speak and this line of words successfully quieted everyone down.
She turned round, looking at their faces expressionlessly and went on with her speech, well I have indeed been blind and lame but I just recovered so what is this expression in all of your faces?
Are you say that you wanted me to remain like this for the rest of my life?
At this time Mr Xie suddenly spoke up because he was getting restless, had started to feel like his deed would be spoken about next. I can't allow this train of thought to continue this path, so he thought.
Young Miss, we all know that your father is a good man, therefore on his account, both of you will have to leave this village because we can't allow scammers to dwell with us together. Who knows what you might do next?
Then a raised his voice high so that everyone around could hear him and asked, am I not speaking your minds , do you want your families to be robbed by this scammers?
It might even be that she's doing this by her father's instructions.
Xin Yan wanted to refute his claims but before she could say something Mr Xie continued , do you see what I was saying, she is even trying to deceive us more with her lies.
....
Why do I feel anxious for no reason?
Mr Xin who was sitting at home waiting for his daughter's return from the market, not knowing the reason but has become restless and anxious.
And not too long Aunty Li walked into the room and seeing his friend's anxiety asked what the problem is.
I honestly don't know answered Mr Xin and quickly followed up by asking her if she had been to the market this afternoon and to his surprise, her answer was no.
The anxiety of Mr Xin increased tremendously without knowing why.
Is anything the matter asked Aunty Li.
Yes I think something is happening to Yan'er, can you help me go and bring her back from the market?
Asked Mr Xin.
Alright answered Aunty Li and she left swiftly.
.....
Back at the market, because of Mr Xie fueling of the issue, he has raised it to a clamouring level, even to the extent of the villagers going out to carry matchet and woods threatening to use them on Xin Yan's body ( well I can't believe they are actually doing all this to a four year old girl and this brings us back to when Xin Yan told her father that the village people don't like them).
As if the heavens have taken pity on her, she sighted Aunty Li coming far-off, and she regain some hope, when while Mr Xie on other hand was furious when he saw Aunty Li ( being aware of the relationship between Aunty Li and the Xin Family.
With all the clamouring and shouting of the market people, Aunty Li came close and called out to Xin Yan.
Xin Yan who had been waiting for such an opportunity dashed out towards Aunty Li.
Mr Xie and the people reacted quickly by chasing after her and when she got to where Aunty Li was, she hugged her legs.
Now the petrified Aunty Li who saw Xin Yan run towards her was shocked beyond words, she tried saying something but no words came out. She looked at her up and down trying to figure out what she just saw and it was at this moment that she noticed the crowd of people who were streaming towards her, precisely they were chasing after Xin Yan.
When the crowd got close Mr Xie was the first to speak and he went forward to explain how he was scammed and was surprised that Aunty Li was not responding to his words, because she was aware of the kind of person the man standing before her really is.
She took all the shock and pressed them down her heart. Turning around she glanced at Xin Yan and asked what happened?
Mr Xie wanted to steal my money and I asked him what he wanted but he instead called me a scammer.
Mr Xie interjected I wanted to steal from you, what a joke.
Looking at everything Aunty Li know that she could not handle it but she can't leave Xin Yan here moreover the way they are going they might stone her to death, thinking things through she became resolute and turning around she said I will come back to give all of you satisfactory answer but I am leaving with her first or you will die with me, everyone present fell into contemplation, using this opportunity as a distraction, aunty Li took Xin Yan and walked away leaving behind the ugly face of Mr Xie and the others who were still indecisive on the next step of action.
.........
After walking for a while, Aunty Li and Xin Yan arrived at the Xin's family house and they were welcomed by Mr Xin, who was at this time sitting outside waiting patiently for their ret, seeing that his daughter is back. Mr Xin was rendered speachless not knowing what to say.
Yan'er what happened not too long this afternoon I've been feeling restless and anxious well I don't know what happened and luckily your Aunty came so I asked her to come and check on you, can you tell me what happened in the market.
Father it was Xie's father who came attend there to give me some coins and later drop his money bag into the container I was just looking at him and suddenly he packed all my coins into his money bag and when I asked him what he was doing he said that his money bag fell into my money container, before I could anything farther, he started to walk away and when I turned to look at my money container it was already empty, some how he had managed to pack all my money into his money bag. And I shased after him without thinking, father I am sorry, if I had known that it will result to this, I won't have said anything, and when I challenged him, he managed to turn everyone against me.
Don't worry Yan'er, they won't believe you, men only see what they want to see, go and get your things ready we will be leaving soon before they come for you and I hope you won't forget this experience in a hurry, you have to process things well before acting just learn from this.
