15.Proof
It's okay to lie to children with their rhetoric, but it's definitely untenable to lie to adults like them.
Although it doesn't look good for two adults to force a child to speak out, when it comes to Jin'er and his wife, they don't care whether they have children or not.
"Ugh... Grandma Village Chief, I really don't know. I... am just a child. I didn't expect so much... Grandma Village Chief, I was wrong. I shouldn't only know how to work and ignore the situation outside, but I really am not
I really can’t remember what happened that day on purpose, ugh... Grandma, the village chief, you can punish me like this, but I really didn’t have any bad intentions. Jin’er was so kind to me. How could I do that? I... I
I thought wrong just now. No matter how anxious I am, I can't say that Jin'er deliberately wronged me. I shouldn't have said that. Grandma, the village chief, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. You know that I don't even dare to say a word loudly. I
There is really no... let alone harming Jin'er... wuwu..."
Hua Xiaocao was sobbing and talking about Qiqi Ai Ai. After being pulled up, she knelt down again and hugged Old Hua's legs, her tears flowing freely.
Crying and crying, she crawled to Qi's side again, "Aunt... I know you are good to me and I will keep it in my heart. Do you believe me? I really don't. How could I have Jin'er with bad intentions... ugh
Woohoo...Auntie..."
The cry was miserable. Although Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Qi were already suspicious of Hua Xiaocao, they had no real evidence. If Hua Xiaocao didn't admit it, they couldn't really do anything to Hua Xiaocao.
In particular, the child cried so pitifully that the villagers who were watching looked at the mother and daughter in different ways.
It looks like they are bullying other children as adults.
"Okay... whoever cries is justified." Hua Jin looked at Hua Xiaocao impatiently, "Didn't you say you didn't? Prove it to us."
Just for a moment, another memory came to Hua Jin's mind.
Then, without looking at Hua Xiaocao's disgusting face, he looked at the aunts and ladies who were watching, "Aunts and ladies, do you still remember what the weather was like when I had an accident that day?"
Everyone looked at each other, and soon a woman spoke. She was from the Hua family, and she usually had a good relationship with the Qi family.
"I remember it just rained at night," Ms. Liu said.
Many people here thought of her words.
"Indeed, it rained quite heavily at night."
"Auntie is right. It did rain in the early morning of the day when my accident happened. That's why I went up the mountain. I thought there would be more wild mushrooms on the mountain after the rain."
Everyone nodded, it is true. Wild mushrooms and wild vegetables do grow faster after the rain. Not only children but also adults will take time to pick some on the mountainside. Even if they are not sold and kept for themselves, it can be regarded as an improvement in food.
.
"Because it will be my grandfather's birthday in two days, and I wanted to surprise him, so I thought I would go up the mountain to pick some wild mushrooms and sell them at the market, but I didn't tell my family. Who knew I accidentally fell down the hillside."
Hua Jin's words made Mrs. Hua feel distressed!
Why did this kid go up the mountain by himself? It turns out that’s why!
"You kid, what's your father's birthday when he's so old? You can't do this next time!"
This kind of thing happened once and it almost scared them to death.
Hua Jin also knew that the injury frightened her family, so she quickly nodded obediently.
"What does it have to do with Xiaocao?" A woman couldn't help but ask.
"The rain really has nothing to do with Xiaocao? But who let what she did be exposed? She obviously saw me but told others that she didn't see me, and even concealed the fact that she went up the mountain. Don't you think it's too abnormal?
Do the aunts really believe that Xiaocao was too hungry and fainted to remember? Anyway, I don’t believe it. For this reason, it doesn’t matter whether my accident has anything to do with her. If it’s so abnormal, I don’t doubt who she suspected?”
"I remember that the place where I fell down the mountain was a bit remote. I discovered it by accident. No one usually goes there. I don't understand how Xiaocao happened to be there. Moreover, the place was farther up the mountain. Hua Xiaocao
How can you have time to climb so high when you have so much work every day? This is very abnormal."
"The most important thing is that I already said that I don't remember, but she didn't feel relieved and asked me again if I really don't remember. Is this not because of a guilty conscience? As for whether I have wronged her... I can't go up the mountain.
You know, if I really wronged her, it’s not like I, Hua Jin, don’t know how to admit my mistake. If I really wronged her, I would apologize to her. I just don’t know if Hua Xiaocao dares to go up the mountain with me again."
Hua Jin looked at Hua Xiaocao intently, with a confident look in her eyes, which made Hua Xiaocao very uneasy. She carefully searched her mind for what happened that day to make sure that there was really no one around and that she had not made any omissions.
As for whether she dared to do it, she definitely didn't dare. After all, she did it on a whim. Although she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, she still wanted to be just in case.
"I...I don't have time. I've been delayed for a long time. My parents will beat me to death if I delay my work at Shangshan..."
"Don't worry about that, I will go home with you and your parents won't beat you to death." Old Madam Hua immediately blocked Hua Xiaocao's excuse.
No matter what, she is still a bit thin-faced as the village chief's wife. Even Hua Xiaocao's parents and grandparents would not dare not give her this face even if they were nothing.
"Grandma the village chief..."
"Okay, let's go. If you delay any longer, you will waste more time. If you go back later, your parents will beat you even more."
As she said this, Old Lady Hua grabbed Hua Xiaocao's hand and walked up the mountain.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Hua Xiaocao's other hand, "Mom, I'll hold her. You and Jin'er Xiaosi go together."
She was worried about her mother-in-law pulling Hua Xiaocao. She had made a mistake before. This girl was quite thoughtful. After all, her mother-in-law was older and her reaction ability was not as good as hers.
A teenage boy who works all year round still has a lot of strength.
"I……"
Being held tightly, even if Hua Xiaocao wanted to break free, there was no way he could break free from the hands of a young woman, and he was just dragged up the mountain.
The children of Hua Mao Mao didn't understand why picking wild mushrooms turned out like this, but they still hurriedly followed.
The women who were watching were not willing to let go of this good opportunity for gossip. They all hurriedly followed, regardless of picking wild mushrooms.
As a result, the group's route immediately changed and they followed Hua Jin and Mrs. Hua in another direction.
In fact, it’s not that high. Compared with people who usually only dare to pick some mountain products at the foot of the mountain, it is indeed a little higher, and the direction is indeed a little more biased.
Moreover, there is a dense locust forest here. It is really difficult to find it when people get in. The most important thing is that this locust tree is covered with thorns and is very annoying. Even if you find these locust trees, you will stay away from them.
Indeed, as Ruhuajin said, they have never been to this place.
On the day of the accident, if the whole village hadn't been mobilized and someone looked in this direction and found it on the hillside, Hua Jin might have been in serious trouble.
Just because everyone followed Hua Jin here, they wondered why Hua Xiaocao would come to this place. How could Hua Xiaocao be wasting time walking such a long distance with her busy schedule all day long? At this moment, everyone understood Hua Jin a little bit.
