Village Chief Li glared at the old lady and Mrs. Liu.
But, because the two of them saw Bai Zhi actually didn’t die. They were naturally not scared. They both climbed up from the ground.
Old Lady Bai replied: “This is our family’s problem. There’s nothing important issue into it, so I would rather like it if you won’t bother us.”
Village Chief Li angrily said: “Nothing important? You almost killed a person. Do you know what will happen if you killed her? Fortunately, the little girl didn’t die. Otherwise, you two will go straight to prison.”
Old Lady Bai got a bit scared, but she still smiled and said: “You can still tell a joke despite your old age ah. Who hasn’t encountered a one or two of these issues? But, does anyone who killed a child went to prison?”
On the side, Bai Zhi stood up and coldly said: “That is because no one has reported the crime. That’s why the officials didn’t pay attention. If I died and my mother went to the government office and reported it. Do you think both of you can run?”
Village Chief Li lifted an eyebrow and stared at Bai Zhi. He thought this child doesn’t know much.
“What Bai Zhi had said is right. That is the real case.” Village Chief Li said and nodded.
Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu look at each other. Their eyes were full of horror. Inside their heart, they were very thankful that this dead girl had survived. Otherwise, they will live miserably.
Bai Zhi saw Zhao Lan, who was lying on the ground seemed to move, but haven’t woke up yet.
Her eyes suddenly lit up and had an idea. She busily showed a pitiful expression and head towards the old lady: “Grandmother, my niang was injured. I beg you, please find a doctor to cure her.”
Old Lady Bai frowned her eyebrows. Her face become cold: “Find a doctor? If we have money to spare, do you think you will die? This dead girl, your mind must be clouded. With just a few stick hits, you want me to spend money to a doctor? You must be dreaming!”
The old lady’s answer was already beyond the villager’s expectation. When Old Bai, her husband, and her third son fell on the roof and had big injuries. The old lady was also very reluctant to spend money to ask the doctor for treatment. And so they lost their lives.
How can a person who was so cruel to her husband and son, be good to her daughter-in-law?
Bai Zhi turned her head and cried out loud: “Village Chief, my niang is dying. Please, I beg you to save my niang.”
In the old village chief’s eyes, it can be seen that he cares about this child. Earlier, when he just came back from the mountain, he saw the old lady. He disagreed with her plan. He tried to convince her, to just let the mother and child lived happily together.
But, who would have thought that this old lady will be more and more unreasonable? If he won’t use this opportunity to teach the old lady a lesson, she will surely come up with a more hideous plan.
Village Chief Li made up his mind and said to Old Lady Bai: “Hurry, call for a doctor. If something bad happened to her, this can only be blamed to the two of you.”
Old Lady Bai didn’t make any movement, so Village Chief Li’s face darkens: “There were many people have witnessed that you have beaten her to death. If this will be reported, let’s see if you two can get away from it. When the officials come, we will serve as the witnesses.”
Old Lady Bai was full of hate and anger. This Village Chief and villagers were too noisy. She hated this mother and child but has no intention to kill any of them. 12 was the prime of age, where the body was strong and can work all year round, so she planned to sell her with a good price to get some benefits.
