Song Xiuyan looked at Ding Yao calmly. “Whether you call the police or not, it’s up to you.” If she called the police, Ding Yao’s father and stepmother would be involved. Moreover, he felt that this matter wasn’t that simple. Ding Yao saw the terror in Zhao Caiyun’s eyes. What was a person who even had the determination to die afraid of? Afraid of the consequences if she called the police? It seemed that she had not told the truth.
Thinking of this, Ding Yao waved her small hand. “No… I called the police.” It wasn’t that she was soft-hearted, but she didn’t believe that her father and stepmother were behind this. If it was really them, why didn’t they tell Zhao Caiyun themselves and instead find a relative? Wasn’t it better for fewer people to know about such sinister things?
Zhao Caiyun’s mother apologized to Zhao Caiyun before lowering her head and returning home. The villagers were all very kind and understood Ding Yao’s decision. After all, it involved her stepmother. However, they still had to scold Zhao Caiyun and her daughter for the dirty things they had done. “I really admire these two people. B * tches!”
The village chief’s wife, Wu Mei, couldn’t help but scold, “They were too easy on them! Song Xiuyan’s future was almost ruined by them! If this matter were to spread, our village’s reputation would be ruined!” However, she thought of Ding Yao’s concerns, she didn’t continue and changed the topic, “Ding Yao, when were you able to speak?”
Song Xiuyan answered on Ding Yao’s behalf, “I discovered it two days ago. It healed naturally. However, I can’t speak fluently now. It will be much better after more practice.”
Wu Mei laughed out loud, “That’s great! Song Xiuyan, you really did a good job in accepting Ding Yao’s family! Your family’s luck has changed, and Ding Yao’s luck has also changed. Not only is her face becoming more and more beautiful, she can even talk now. The two of you are destined to be a couple. You make her happy, and she makes you happy. Hahaha, isn’t that right, everyone?”
The villagers chimed in. That was indeed the case. Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao were blushing from everyone’s laughter. After the fun was over, the villagers dispersed to do their own farm work. The filthy things that Zhao Caiyun and her daughter had done were enough for them to gossip for three days and three nights. Village chief Lin Shenghai also brought Wu Mei home.
After everyone had left, Ding Yao brought Song Xiuyan to the study. “Will you feel uncomfortable if I choose not to call the police?”
Song Xiuyan shook his head. “No, I know you definitely have a reason not to call the police.”
Ding Yao smiled and asked with her lips, “You can also tell that Zhao Caiyun and the others are not telling the truth?”
Song Xiuyan nodded. “Zhao Caiyun and her daughter aren’t stupid. They should have thought of the consequences of doing this, but they still did it. It’s very likely that they were forced to do this. Your father and stepmother don’t have the courage and ability to force them. If they do this and report it to the police, they will face a lawsuit. Therefore, there must be someone else who ordered them to do this. They deliberately said your stepmother so that you wouldn’t report it to the police.”
Ding Yao looked at Song Xiuyan while thinking that this kid was really smart. She slowly asked Song Xiuyan, “Then who do you think ordered them to do it?”
Song Xiuyan replied, “It must be my family’s enemy! Because you ruined their plan twice, they wanted to drive you away.”
Now that things had come to this, Ding Yao didn’t want to hide it from Song Xiuyan anymore. Her train of thought became clearer and clearer. Someone wanted her dead. This was 100% certain. The two men in black from before must have come to kill her. She lived in Song Xiuyan’s house, so it wasn’t easy for those people to kill her. First, they spread rumors that she was a jinx and wanted Song Xiuyan to send her away. Now, they were forcing Zhao Caiyun to do such a thing. Their goal was also to get her to leave Song Xiuyan. Song Xiuyan didn’t know about these things. The reason he felt that he had implicated Ding Yao was because he didn’t know about these things, and she shouldn’t continue to hide things from him.
Ding Yao told Song Xiuyan everything. Song Xiuyan fell into deep thought. In fact, after the incident with the black-clothed men, he had suspected that the black-clothed men were coming for Ding Yao, but he also felt that those people must have felt that Ding Yao was a hindrance. Therefore, he took care of Ding Yao first. He didn’t expect that these people had attacked Ding Yao before and even pushed her down the cliff.
Ding Yao continued to analyze, “Your second brother, Song Yang, was bitten by a poisonous snake. It might really be because he taught a lesson to the relatives of the West Qin Casino’s boss. Everything that happened after that should have been aimed at me. I’m the one who dragged you all down.”
Song Xiuyan shook his head. He didn’t agree with Ding Yao’s view. “You were pushed down the cliff. It’s not possible to rule out that it was your stepmother, Wang Hongxia, and the others who did it. The men in black may have wanted to kill you, but it’s also not possible to rule out that they thought you were too smart and hindered their plan to harm me.”
