Chapter 51 If she can't find her again, she'll be sad.
【Pah! How dare that guy have the nerve to say it has nothing to do with him? If it weren't for him, would Xia Yaoyao have been harmed by that beast?】
[It would be too easy for him to die like that; he should be tormented for a few more days!]
[If it wasn't Xia Yaoyao, it would have been another girl. Zhou Ming, who aided and abetted evil, truly deserves to die.]
Yang Zhaodi: "Later, the Liu family came to apologize. They first took out a large sum of money and said a lot of sweet words. Then they secretly threatened that if things got out of hand, it didn't matter if it was their son, but our daughter would be pointed at and lose face."
In fact, she did hear some negative comments, so she decided to settle the matter privately with money.
Xia Juntao refused and insisted on calling the police.
He said their daughter hadn't done anything wrong, and taking the money would only make people think they had a guilty conscience, and they would say even worse things.
He said that the one who should be ashamed is Liu Jiabao, that beast. They cannot let their daughter be harmed in vain, and they must seek justice for her.
She was convinced.
But she fell into an even deeper nightmare...
[Ugh, I can't bear to watch what happened next! Calling the police was completely useless, so maybe we shouldn't have called the police?]
[Actually, I think Xia Juntao is right. Sisters, you should also remember, when you encounter something like this, don't be afraid of losing face. Stand up bravely. The one who loses face is the scum who hurt you!]
That's what they say, but not everyone has that kind of courage or the people who support her.
[She called the police but nothing happened to her. I can only imagine what Xia Yaoyao will face next...]
As a law student, I feel I must explain this: Liu Jiabao's malicious injury resulting in severe disability constitutes a serious offense. If the charge is intentional injury rather than rape, even though he is under fourteen, he could still face criminal charges.
"Liu Jiabao was released not long after. Old Mrs. Liu arrogantly led him around the village several times, telling everyone that her precious grandson had done nothing wrong, and that if anyone was wrong, both of them should be arrested. She also said..."
Yang Zhaodi's eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was squeezed out with difficulty from between her teeth: "You say it takes two to tango, but if Yao Yao hadn't wanted to as well, how could her grandson have gotten away with it!"
Lotus Village was already deeply poisoned by the bad habit of valuing sons over daughters. When boys and girls stood together, the scales in their hearts would naturally tip towards the boys.
In particular, the Liu family is wealthy and powerful in the village, and those who want to curry favor with them will loudly echo their sentiments.
The word spread like wildfire, and gradually, almost everyone in the village believed what the Liu family had spread.
They believed it was because her daughter was being irresponsible, selling her body for a piece of candy.
She believed that Liu Jiabao was deliberately instigated by her daughter to seduce him because she saw that the Liu family was rich.
Even those who were once close to her, who comforted Yao Yao immediately after her accident and joined her in cursing the Liu family, began to distance themselves from her.
She tried to explain, but public opinion was overwhelming. Whenever she said her daughter was the victim, she would be asked, "Then why wasn't Liu Jiabao arrested?"
She also wanted to ask, why?
Why is God so unfair?
Why is it so difficult for them to simply live well and wait for their youngest daughter to return?
She had her grievances against the police who released Liu Jiabao, and even those who were killed by the Liu family were not entirely innocent.
She even resented Xia Juntao... no, she still resents him now.
But she also knew that the police were just doing their job according to the law, and those people were nothing more than a bunch of fools without their own will.
The family she should resent the most is the Liu family.
The people she should hate the most are her vicious in-laws.
After Yao Yao's accident, Xia Juntao stopped going out and devoted himself to taking care of his daughter with her.
For a long time, the daughter resisted being touched by others, and men were especially forbidden from being in her sight, otherwise she would lose control of her emotions and scream, even Xia Juntao was no exception.
He could only stand guard outside the door day and night, sneaking in to take a peek when his daughter was asleep.
It wasn't until three months later that her condition improved, and Yao Yao recovered most of her health and was able to be discharged from the hospital and go home.
The day before she was discharged from the hospital, Xia Juntao grabbed a knife and stormed into the Liu family home. He went into the homes of those who echoed the Liu family members and swung the knife wildly, threatening them not to say another word about Yao Yao.
She knew that he had actually considered killing Liu Jiabao.
But he can't go to jail. If he goes in, who will his mother and daughter rely on?
Yes, that's how weak and incompetent she is; she couldn't even protect her own daughter.
Xia Juntao's threats were effective; the unpleasant rumors in the village stopped, and his parents-in-law became exceptionally friendly, helping him in everything.
Beneath this harmonious facade, Yao Yao, who always kept her head down and dared not make eye contact with anyone, and spent most of her day in silence and daze, slowly returned to her former talkative and cheerful self. She even told her father not to stay at home and to go find her younger sister.
She smiled sweetly and said, "I still have my mother, but my sister has nothing. If we don't find her soon, she will be sad."
It was at this time that Xia Juntao received a call informing him that another human trafficker had been arrested and had indeed abducted a baby girl from their area.
She secretly didn't want Xia Juntao to leave, but thinking of her youngest daughter and Yao Yao's words, she gritted her teeth and let him go.
Once that happened, everything was irreversible.
Two days after Xia Juntao left, rumors started circulating again, and they became increasingly rampant.
Some older bachelors even rushed up to them and asked how much they cost per night.
Yao Yao, who had just bravely taken a step forward, pulled her foot back again, too afraid to go out or go to school.
She had no interest in working and spent all her time at home with her daughter.
They thought home was the safest haven, that as long as they hid there, they wouldn't have to face those vile words anymore.
But she forgot that in this so-called home, there were even more vicious insults and beatings.
With Xia Juntao gone, his parents-in-law dropped their pretense and revealed their true nature.
Besides the curses telling Yao Yao to hurry up and die, her mother-in-law, who was furious that they were freeloading, locked up their rice and flour supplies because she no longer went out and lost a source of income.
The money Xia Juntao left them was quickly exhausted, and the money the Liu family had lost in compensation was all spent on the hospital, leaving them with very little – even if they were unwilling to accept the money stained with their daughter's blood and tears, they had no choice but to bow to reality.
She could only take her daughter with her to work; she couldn't do anything else, so she worked as a sanitation worker under the scorching sun.
Perhaps seeing that she had to work and take care of her at the same time, a few days later, Yao Yao took the initiative to suggest going to school.
She was naturally happy that her daughter was willing to go to school.
But when she dropped her daughter off and went to pick her up, the teacher said she hadn't gone at all.
She realized that Yao Yao was still too scared to go to school, so she rushed back home, only to hear her daughter's terrified screams.
“Liu Jiabao is here.” Yang Zhaodi stared blankly at Xia Juntao. “Your parents took his money and said they wanted to sell Yaoyao to the Liu family as a child bride.”
