Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1202: Chapter 1203: Good Things Don’t Work, Bad Things Do

”That is, Chiang Baohe abused Yu Chunyu, and it was Zou Xiaoling who helped him. Zou Xiaoling lured Yu Chunyu away and even smashed Uncle Ping’s lock and borrowed their house. After the incident, Uncle Ping and his family happened to come home and heard their conversation in the house, so they went to report it.”

Xu Linjiang was afraid Chiang Xiao would ask him what ’abused’ meant.

Ordinarily, adults wouldn’t talk about these kinds of things with children in the family.

But Chiang Xiao was different from other children. It was necessary to let her know about these things, so Xu Linjiang explained it to her very simply. After speaking, he began to ponder in his mind how he would explain if Chiang Xiao really asked that question.

But Chiang Xiao simply didn’t ask.

She was so shocked that she almost slipped off the back of the bicycle.

”Cough, cough, cough!”

”Sit tight!”

The bicycle swerved sharply, and Xu Linjiang quickly regained control, getting back on track.

”Uncle, I’m sorry, I just got scared all of a sudden,” Chiang Xiao sat up properly.

”This has really caused a sensation in our town. Now, if you go to the town, almost everyone is talking about it. And Yu Chunyu’s brother-in-law has filed a report too.”

He told her all about it, and Chiang Xiao listened, astounded and feeling as if thunder was rolling through the sky.

At the same time, she didn’t know what attitude or thoughts she should have toward these two women, Zou Xiaoling and Yu Chunyu.

Sympathy?

Pity?

It wasn’t clear at the moment.

But she really couldn’t understand Zou Xiaoling and Yu Chunyu’s way of thinking.

Zou Xiaoling knew well what kind of person Chiang Baohe was. She herself was ruined, and as a woman, she still helped Chiang Baohe ruin another woman?

Was it out of hatred?

And Yu Chunyu, didn’t she have any idea?

Zou Xiaoling invited her over, and she really went?

There are so many small diners and hostels in town now. If there was something to discuss, couldn’t they have gone to those places?

As for Chiang Baohe, there’s nothing to say about him; he was always a legal ignoramus.

Maybe because there was already the example of Zou Xiaoling, he thought nothing would happen if he forced himself on Yu Chunyu as well.

”What’s the outcome now?”

Xu Linjiang said, ”I inquired about it. The case against Chiang Baohe and Zou Xiaoling is conclusive. It looks like they can’t escape.”

”How will they be sentenced?”

”I heard that because our town’s public security station is too small and we don’t have a detention center, Chiang Baohe and Zou Xiaoling will be sent to the detention center in the county city. Then they will wait for the higher-ups to make a verdict.”

Xu Linjiang sighed.

Nowadays, sentences for these crimes are severe. For someone like Chiang Baohe, he probably will face a harsh penalty.

However, before the verdict was handed down, he didn’t want to make it too clear to Chiang Xiao, lest it be too upsetting for her.

When the time comes, let’s wait for the real verdict to be announced.

Chiang Xiao also fell silent.

She had not expected so much to happen during the time she was up in the mountains.

And she had no idea what kind of chaos the Old Chiang Family must be in now.

Of course, she wouldn’t sympathize with the Old Chiang Family nor Chiang Baohe, and she never considered offering help. What she thought was that her grandparents had returned to Siyang Village just at this time; she hoped they wouldn’t cause any new troubles with the Old Chiang Family.

But sometimes, bad luck seems to be more reliable than good.

When they arrived home, they heard Ho Laidi’s crying in the yard.

Moreover, a crowd had gathered at the entrance to their home, all pointing and discussing the situation.

Chiang Xiao’s face darkened immediately.

”Don’t panic. Let’s go in and see what’s going on first,” Xu Linjiang parked the bike and comforted her in a low voice.
