Chapter 201 Stunned by the beating
As soon as Lin Bao left, the smile on Xiao Yuan's face disappeared.
Her shoulders slumped, and Lin Cai placed the water in front of the little round-faced girl: "What's wrong? Why are you looking for me so late?"
"Sister Lin, is marriage the only path a girl can take?"
"Of course not, who told you that marriage is the only path a girl can take?"
Under Lin Cai's persistent questioning, the little girl with the round face told her everything that had happened after she went back.
It turned out that after the villagers found out what had happened to Little Round Face, they started pointing and gossiping about him whenever they saw him.
When the little girl's parents found out, they felt sorry for their daughter and even argued with her.
But those people went too far, pointing at the little round-faced parents: "Your Lingdang is shameless to begin with. She's already been kidnapped and taken up the mountain, why is she coming back?"
"That's right, they've already been taken up the mountain, why did they come back? Wouldn't that just make our village infamous in the surrounding area?"
"There are still so many girls in the village who are ready to get married, and none of them have found husbands yet. If outsiders hear that someone from our village went up the mountain and then came back down, what will they think?"
The things those people said were awful. They kept saying that Xiao Yuan's face was no longer clean after she went up the mountain, and that she shouldn't have come down the mountain or come back to the village.
But the round-faced girl's parents, who felt sorry for their daughter, were furious when they heard those words.
"Shut up, all of you shut up! You know nothing, what right do you have to talk here?"
"Our bell has never been taken up the mountain, but so what? Our bell is completely innocent..."
"Oh dear, still claiming innocence? I'm telling you, Bell's mother!"
"Are you trying to fool me? I don't need to explain what kind of people live on this mountain, do I?"
"Who would believe that your little Lingdang, such a young girl, was taken up the mountain by those grown men and is still innocent?"
"Even if what you're saying is true, so what? Your Lingdang still had to go up the mountain before she was brought back, didn't she?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around agreed with the person who said them. When the little round-faced parents heard this, they were so angry that they couldn't speak.
Her brother, younger brother, and younger sister were also furious when they heard this. The younger brother and sister even lunged at the person who was speaking.
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense, I'll teach you to talk nonsense. My sister is completely innocent. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll bite you to death."
But how could a child possibly beat an adult? He was pushed away as soon as he grabbed the other person's clothes.
The child fell to the ground, immediately got up, and was about to pounce again when the little round-faced boy came out of the house.
"That's enough, stop talking. I know what you mean. Don't worry, I will definitely not affect the girls in the village."
"But I am also a victim in this matter, and it has nothing to do with my parents. I just hope that you uncles and aunts will not make things difficult for my parents and my family."
After saying what she had to say, the little girl with the round face ran out. With nowhere else to go, she came to the Gu family based on her memory.
After listening to the whole story, Lin Cai tidied up a guest room for Xiao Yuanlian. Anyway, there was a place to stay at home, and the Gu family could afford to feed one more person.
The little round-faced girl stayed at the Gu family's house that night. The next morning, Lin Cai was woken up by the noise outside.
"Hey Gu, come out here! Where's my Caixia? Hand her over right now!"
The knocking on the door kept going on and on, sounding as if they were trying to tear the door down.
Big Grey stared intently at the entrance from inside the yard, even adopting a diving posture, as if it would rush over and fight anyone who barged in.
The talking continued, and the words became increasingly offensive...
"Where are the people inside? Are they all dead? Why aren't they coming out? Hand over my sister right now, or I'll report you to the authorities."
"Have the officials in the yamen arrest you all and throw you all in jail to eat prison food..."
Zhang Feilong was banging on the door from the outside, his mouth never stopping, and his mother was doing the same.
Gu Dachui got dressed and opened the door: "What's all this commotion? Your daughter and your sister aren't here. You'd better look for them somewhere else."
"Impossible! How could Caixia not be here? She came here yesterday; everyone saw her. You must have hidden this..."
"Oh my goodness! In broad daylight, a perfectly healthy young woman has been hidden away by them! This is outrageous!"
"I raised my daughter with great difficulty, changing her diapers and feeding her every drop of urine and feces. Now that she's finally grown up, you haven't even given me a single penny and have hidden her away. Oh, I can't live like this anymore..."
"You're bullying us! You're bullying us! You're really going too far..."
Zhang's mother didn't believe what Gu Dachui said and was convinced that Gu Dachui and his group had hidden the person.
When Gu Dachui saw Zhang's mother sitting on the ground crying and making a scene, he glanced back and then looked at Zhang Feilong.
"What I just said is true. I don't know where your sister is. She did come yesterday but left quickly. You should look for her elsewhere."
He thought Zhang Feilong might be more obedient, but who knew that Zhang Feilong was just like his mother.
After listening to what Gu Dachui had to say, Zhang Feilong not only didn't leave, but also said to his mother, "Mother, did you hear everything just now?"
“He admitted that Zhang Caixia came here yesterday. Since she came and can’t be found now, they must have hidden her…”
"No, Mother, we have to go in and see. We have to go and find out for ourselves, to see for ourselves whether you have hidden anyone inside."
Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother immediately perked up, echoing her son's words as she scrambled to her feet and rushed inside.
But Gu Dachui was no pushover and wouldn't let them in. He stopped Zhang Feilong, but not Zhang's mother.
Because if Gu Dachui were to grab Zhang's mother, the old hag would immediately shout "indecent assault".
Gu Dachui was so intimidated that he didn't dare to grab her. Hua Ni finished getting ready and came out. She saw her husband's indecisiveness, buttoned up her coat, and walked over.
He grabbed Zhang's mother and slapped her across the face just before she could cry out indecent assault.
With a loud slap, Zhang's mother was completely stunned, as were Gu Dachui and Zhang Feilong.
