212 It’s Great That You’re Here
“It is…” When Li Zhaodi heard his words, she subconsciously wanted to refute him, but she was unable to say anything. The words were rolling within her her mouth and finally, she blurted out, “…It’s true!”
No, no, no. There was fear in Li Zhaodi’s eyes. This was not what she wanted to say, but she seemed to have lost control over her mouth.
Li Zhaodi panicked. Chou Louzi turned over to look at her in disbelief. “This woman has to be insane!”
“Alright, alright, alright…” The old village chief said the same word repeatedly. It was obvious that he had been driven to his limit. “Then did you really ask…”
!!
The old village chief tried to catch his breath and paused for a moment. However, the man at his feet thought that he had forgotten his words, so he reminded him kindly, “Li Zhaodi asked me to cooperate with her and drug a man so that she can marry him.”
As soon as he said that, there was an uproar from the crowd. Li Zhaodi must be really bold to come up with such a disgusting idea!
“Li Zhaodi, is that true?”
The old village chief looked at her angrily.
“Of course not!”
The old village chief heaved a sigh of relief, but then he asked her again.
This time, Li Zhaodi spitted out the truth because it was indeed not the same man. “I didn’t ask him for help. I asked Chou Louzi to help me!”
After saying that, she covered her mouth in horror and shook her head vigorously. “No, no!”
The old village chief was at a loss for words. He could only point at Chou Louzi with his wrinkly finger. “Are her words true?”
At this moment, Chou Louzi was dying to slap this b*tch for spouting nonsense. When he heard the old village chief’s words, he shook his head and was going to deny it. However, what he said turned out otherwise. “Of course it’s true. I helped her. I didn’t ask for money at first. I just wanted her to sleep with me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd spat at the two of them. The curses thrown from the crowd were almost enough to crush the couple.
Xiaoguo quietly pulled Mrs. Yang away from the crowd. Firstly, she was afraid that they would get trampled by those behind them. Secondly, it would make things easier for the people behind to scold the couple.
When the old village chief heard this, his face turned ashen, but he still heard the keynote of his words. “What do you mean by ‘at first’?!”
The villagers who were watching the commotion immediately fell silent.
Only then did Chou Louzi realize that he was behaving like a possessed person. When posed with any questions, he would spit the truth. At this moment, he was so anxious that he was breaking out in cold sweat. When he heard the old village chief’s question, his mouth moved faster than his brain and he blurted out, “That’s right. Because we changed our plan later on. I will help her to get Jiang Danhe and she will get Qin Xiaoguo for me. When the time comes, we will kill that brat, Zhuang Zhuang. That will be the perfect ending!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzz in the crowd again. Xiaoguo listened to Chou Louzi’s confession with a cold expression, an oppressive aura was exuding from every pore of her body.
When Mrs. Yang heard this, she looked angrily at the two people on the ground. She turned to look at Xiaoguo carefully and held on to her worriedly. Xiaoguo turned to look at her and smiled. She shook her head to show that she was fine.
The villagers were furious. They didn’t expect this adulterous couple to harbor such evil intentions on a child.
The old village chief was even more disappointed. “Wow, how dare you think of doing such evil deeds!”
Li Zhaodi and Chou Louzi were trembling all over. This should not be happening to them. No, no, it wasn’t right from the beginning. From the moment they opened their eyes, to doing the deed in front of everyone, that wasn’t right. The things that were said and asked were all wrong!
“It shouldn’t be like this!”
Li Zhaodi grabbed her hair tightly to prevent herself from saying anything else.
“What else is there?”
The old village chief continued to ask.
Li Zhaodi covered her mouth and bit her tongue hard. She must not say anything else!
Xiaoguo also understood the seriousness of the matter, so she followed Li Zhaodi and held on to her tongue. But eventually she couldn’t help but blurt out the details and motives behind her plans and Li Zhaodi’s plans.
Li Zhaodi’s blood vessels were bulging from holding it in. Chou Louzi was also spilling all the beans. In the end, she suddenly seemed deflated as she panted heavily and broke out in cold sweat.
A riot was breaking out in the crowd—especially when they heard about the couple’s plans to get rid of the kid. Everyone was raging.
The villagers of Peach Blossom Village cherished and cared for children very much. Therefore, when they heard the evil plans of these two vicious people, they started to throw bricks at them.
With one person taking the lead, a few others immediately followed suit.
As the two of them were unclothed, when the big rocks hit them, they quickly drew blood.
The two of them covered their heads and dodged, but the rocks seemed to have eyes as they landed accurately on the couple every time.
Mrs. Yang took the opportunity to bash them with a rock. Worried that Mrs Yang was getting too worked up, Xiaoguo grabbed her and comforted her.
At first, the old village chief deliberately closed one eye and did not stop them. These two completely deserved it. However, in the end, he still got everyone to stop. After all, it would be terrible if anyone died.
The crowd slowly stopped their attacks. Apart from their heads, the rest of the couple’s bodies were covered in blood.
Hearing the shout to stop, they heaved a sigh of relief.
The old village chief looked at the two of them for a long time. In the end, he said slowly, “The heavens have eyes and nothing can escape its eyes. What goes around comes around.”
The plan that they had just confessed was fully reenacted by themselves.
Li Zhaodi and Chou Louzi looked at each other. The fear and confusion in their eyes were obvious. Their bodies went limp. It was over, it was really over…
Xiaoguo no longer paid special attention to what happened after that. As she pulled Mrs. Yang away, she kept thinking about what the old village chief had said. It was just the right description to use on Li Zhaodi and Chou Louzi.
Along the way, Mrs. Yang was hesitant to speak, as she didn’t know what to say.
“Fortunately, the heavens have eyes.” After hesitating for a long time, she only said this, “Retribution was good!”
Xiaoguo smiled and nodded. Fortunately, she had found out about their plan. And fortunately, Jiang Danhe was around…
She said goodbye to Mrs. Yang and ran home eagerly. There was an inexplicable excitement in her heart. She wanted to see that man immediately.
“Why are you running so fast?”
A laughing voice entered Xiaoguo’s ears.
Xiaoguo paused and looked up blankly at the door. The figure at the door had been waiting there for a long time.
“Jiang Danhe…”
“Yes?”
Seeing that she was standing still, Jiang Danhe could tell that something was wrong. He walked towards her worriedly. But before he could get close, he was shaken by her suddenly rushing into his arms.
Xiaoguo hugged Jiang Danhe tightly and listened to his strong heartbeat. Her eyes slowly turned red. If she hadn’t discovered those schemes, if Jiang Danhe wasn’t by her side, if she was the one in trouble today, what would have become of her…?
At this moment, Xiaoguo felt lonely for once. In the past, she felt that she could do anything and nothing could defeat her. But at this moment, she really felt a little lonely. Fortunately, Jiang Danhe was by her side.
Jiang Danhe didn’t know what was wrong with her, but he felt that she might have been frightened. He hugged her tightly and tried to transfer some of his body warmth to her. He was feeling regretful once again. If he had known, he wouldn’t have let her go and watch the commotion.
“Guo?”
“Jiang Danhe, it’s so good to have you.”
Jiang Danhe was stunned. His pupils dilated and trembled as he looked into the distance in disbelief. “What did Xiaoguo say… Did I hear wrongly…?”
Their hearts started to beat at the same frequency.
“…” Jiang Danhe smiled and hugged Xiaoguo tightly. He rested his chin on the top of her head and said slowly, “Me too.”
“It’s so good that we’re with each other.”
