“Why are you so nervous? You obviously saw me. You did it on purpose.”
Xie Xiuzhu stared at Ah Wu with eyes wide open and a fierce expression on her face. How could the other party lie with her eyes open?
Ah Wu seemed to be frightened by Xie Xiuzhu’s attitude. She hid behind a woman beside her, trembling.
She said with grievance and fear: “Little Aunt, I really didn’t know it was you. I wouldn’t dare, if I knew…”
Because she was too frightened, Ah Wu’s words seemed confused, and the word order was a little reversed. But such behavior just proved her innocence, because a timid and shy girl would never be able to remain calm when encountering such a thing.
Ah Wu was almost scared to tears.
Looking at the little girl with gauze wrapped around her head and trembling with fear, and Xie Xiuzhu, who had a vicious look in her eyes and wished she could eat her niece, Xie Wu, alive, it was clear who everyone’s hearts would lean towards.
“What’s going on? There’s no peace all day long.”
Miao Dashan came running over in a hurry, followed by Xu Chunxiu and Xie Changzheng.
“Isn’t this your younger sister? Could it be that the thief who broke into your house that the informant just said was her?”
Miao Dashan, like the villagers who saw Xie Xiuzhu crawl out of the sack with their own eyes, had a look of confusion on his face.
“Ah Wu, are you okay? Are you hurt?”
“Were you scared just now? It’s Dad’s fault. I shouldn’t have left you alone at home.”
Xu Chunxiu and Xie Changzheng’s hearts and eyes were filled with their own child. Seeing Ah Wu’s face turning blue with fright, they felt heartbroken.
“Dad, I really didn’t know it was my Little Aunt, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to hit her.”
Ah Wu felt a little guilty because, strictly speaking, she had deceived everyone.
But Ah Wu just felt happy this way.
Why could the people in the old house be so immoral and unkind as to bully her and her mother, but they couldn’t teach those bad guys a lesson?
She and her mother had endured the humiliation for more than ten years, only for those people to become even more aggressive in return.
Ah Wu felt that perhaps all the things that had happened before were caused by her and her mother, and they should not have endured it from the very beginning.
She thought that perhaps the fall before had not broken her head, but it made her smarter.
That was why she could lie with her eyes open and act, and even she herself almost took it seriously.
The little girl was so anxious that she was about to cry. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked pitiful.
When she said that she didn’t dare to hit her little aunt, she shrank her shoulders with a trembling hand, which made people subconsciously wonder how Xie Xiuzhu, a girl with a kind appearance, treated her niece on weekdays, which made Xie Wu show such a scared expression when she mentioned her.
People often believe in their own imagination more than what they see.
Xie Xiuzhu used to have a good reputation in the village, which was all due to the sudden stop of the heavy rain when she was born and Miao Fengmei’s daily management.
But this time, when Xie Changzheng separated the family, he directly tore off the fig leaf of the old house. Xie Changzheng had a lame leg, but those people, regardless of his years of hard work, directly separated their family. They also gave Xie Changzheng only a little property when he needed to recover from his injury, which was enough to show the meanness and selfishness of those people.
Xie Xiuzhu is Miao Fengmei’s most beloved daughter. With a mother like that, how could her daughter be any better?
Besides, everything that Xie Xiuzhu ate, wore, and used was earned by Xie Changzheng. But she didn’t show much respect to her sister-in-law, Xu Chunxiu, on weekdays.
Some time ago, they heard that Xie Wu had broken her head while picking wild fruits for her and almost lost her life.
It could be seen that Xie Xiuzhu had developed a selfish and domineering character at a young age.
She is only thirteen years old, but she is already so bad. When she grows up, won’t she be the second Miao Fengmei?
“My Little Aunt said I did it on purpose, but I really didn’t.” Ah Wu cried, tears streaming down her face.
“Don’t cry, Dad believes you.”
Xie Changzheng’s mood became increasingly depressed. He was still in the village, yet his thirteen-year-old younger sister, Xie Xiuzhu, dared to climb over the wall of his house and wrongly accuse his daughter in front of so many people.
So, when he was not around in his previous life, did these people bully his wife and daughter in the same way?
Perhaps what he found out was just the tip of the iceberg.
