Wang Hongxia raised her voice. “I want the two b*tches of your family to come out and explain to everyone! I didn’t order them to do such a despicable thing! I can swear that if I did so it, I will die a horrible death! Tell them to get out and see if they dare to swear to the heavens that they weren’t lying at that time and that they didn’t frame me!”
The villagers well all watching the drama. Zhao Caiyun’s father suppressed his anger. “What if they don’t come out?”
“Then don’t blame me for being heartless! Ding Yao is kind and won’t call the police, but I will!” Wang Hongxia said resolutely.
Hearing that Wang Hongxia was going to call the police, Zhao Caiyun’s mother rushed out of the house. She explained anxiously, “Ding Yao’s mother, you can’t say that. It’s not that we’re framing you. My daughter said that there was indeed a woman who claimed to be a relative of yours who said those things to her. If you want to say that she’s framing you, it’s that woman who’s framing you!”
Wang Hongxia spat at Zhao Caiyun’s mother. “Bah! Would anyone believe what you said? If someone told you to eat sh*t, you would eat it? It was clearly you who had taken a fancy to Song Xiuyan’s money and committed a despicable act. Yet, you still wanted to defend yourself and falsely accuse me of giving you a thousand yuan. If I had a thousand yuan, I wouldn’t be unable to afford a doctor even if Ding Yao’s father was sick! In short, I can’t take this lying down. Unless you give me some other reason, I will definitely call the police!”
Zhao Caiyun’s mother was panicking. If she were to call the police, it would be troublesome. Now, she could only try and see if she could use money to get rid of Wang Hongxia. She said with a bitter look, “Ding Yao’s mother, we’re also the victims. We believed that woman’s words. However, this matter is indeed our fault. My daughter, Zhao Caiyun, is already in such a state. If you call the police, she definitely won’t be able to live on. Ding Yao’s mother, you’re also someone’s mother. Please pity me. Don’t call the police. I can compensate you with 500 yuan.”
Wang Hongxia put on such a grand display for the sake of money. Seeing Zhao Caiyun’s mother take the initiative to offer compensation, she was very happy. However, she said, “500 yuan isn’t enough to compensate for the loss of my reputation.” She had heard clearly that that woman had given Zhao Caiyun 1,000 yuan. Since she had become infamous for no reason, the 1,000 yuan should belong to her.
Zhao Caiyun’s mother looked troubled. “I can’t take out any more. Ever since that day, my daughter has been sick. In just a few days, she has become very ill. Just the treatment fees alone cost several hundred yuan.” As she said that, she took out a money bag from her bosom. “This 500 yuan was originally for my daughter’s medicine...”
Zhao Caiyun’s brother, Zhao Dashan, shouted at this moment, “Forget it! If you want to call the police, then call the police. I also want to know who the woman who tricked my sister into doing something stupid is!”
When Wang Hongxia heard that, she hurriedly snatched the money bag. “500 then. I’m not such a vicious person. From now on, I won’t mention the matter of calling the police. Everyone has seen it clearly. If they are willing to compensate, it proves that this matter wasn’t instigated by me. Don’t scold me anymore in the future!”
The surrounding villagers had contemptuous looks on their faces. Even if Zhao Caiyun wasn’t instigated by Wang Hongxia, Wang Hongxia’s reputation was already bad enough. No one dared to praise her for her conduct. With 500 yuan in her hands, Wang Hongxia had achieved her goal. She waved to the men behind her and said, “Go to the town and wait for me. I’ll be there in a while.” She still had to make a trip to Song Xiuyan’s house.
Song Xue reluctantly let Wang Hongxia into the house. Ding Yao couldn’t be bothered to watch Wang Hongxia and Zhao Caiyun’s house fight, so when she heard that Wang Hongxia was going to Zhao Caiyun’s house, she continued writing in the study until Wang Hongxia came looking for her.
When she saw Wang Hongxia come in, Ding Yao looked displeased and asked directly, “What’s the matter?”
When she suddenly heard Ding Yao’s words, Wang Hongxia was shocked at first. Then, she showed an exaggerated expression of surprise. “Ding Yao, you can speak? That’s great. It’s really miraculous. Your father nagging every day that he’s willing to lose ten years of his life in exchange for you to speak again was not in vain...”
Ding Yao couldn’t bear listening anymore and interrupted Wang Hongxia directly. “Shut... up!” She pointed at the door. “Hurry up and... get out!”
No matter how thick-skinned Wang Hongxia was, she couldn’t say anything more. However, she still had to tell Ding Yao the purpose of her visit this time. “Ding Yao, I’m not here to make things difficult for you. I have something very important to tell you.”
