Chapter 127: This Is Repaying Kindness With Ingratitude

She continued her train of thought as she spoke, her gaze fixed on Wang Xing’er.

“Many villagers know that the Qian siblings and the three children I found are living in my house. You should know about this too.

“If there is an outbreak here, everyone could blame me for having outsiders. They could claim they have the epidemic disease and spread it to the villagers via this rock spring.”

As expected, Wang Xing’er’s eyes darted around guiltily. She even took a step back and gulped as her expression became even more nervous.

“Nonsense! I… I didn’t!” Wang Xing’er denied it.

I’ll never admit that I wanted to sabotage An Jiuyue, that detestable woman.

“You didn’t?” An Jiuyue looked at her and asked.

“Didn’t you hate me? Didn’t you think I shouldn’t have suggested to the Chief to guard the village? That I’m the one who stopped you from bringing your parents in?

“Or did you think I’m the one who forced you out of the village to suffer with your parents and brothers? So now you might even die from the epidemic?”

“No… No, I… I didn’t.” Wang Xing’er shook her head in denial.

However, her guilty and fearful eyes had already betrayed her. Anyone could tell what she was thinking.

A man in the crowd glared at Wang Xing’er and asked, “We all know! You were warning Jiuyue to watch out just now! Did you think we didn’t hear you?”

They had heard everything she said when they chased her and her family away.

However, they never expected Wang Xing’er to be so vicious as to target the spring.

Everyone started taking turns scolding Wang Xing’er.

“I didn’t expect Wang Xing’er to be so vicious and ungrateful.”

“If I remember correctly, Jiuyue was the one who pulled her out of the floodwaters. She was almost swept away by the flood. Jiuyue was almost swept away too when she tried to rescue her.”

“This is repaying kindness with ingratitude. Jiuyue shouldn’t have saved her back then. She should have allowed her to be swept away by the flood. This wouldn’t have happened then!”

“That damned vicious woman not only wants to kill us but also her benefactor. Isn’t she afraid she’ll be struck by lightning?”

Wang Xing’er took a step back and shook her head vigorously. “It’s not like that. It’s not like that.”

I didn’t even plan to come here at first. These people were too selfish and didn’t let me bring my parents into the village.

It’s okay if they don’t let my parents in, but they even chased me away. Why?

“I just want to enter the village. It’s okay if they don’t let my parents in, but I’m from this village! Why should they chase me out?

“It’s all because of you that they chased me out of the village so mercilessly. It’s all An Jiuyue’s fault!”

She raised her finger and pointed at An Jiuyue, looking as if she was ready to bite off a piece of An Jiuyue’s flesh. Her hatred was indescribable.

“An Jiuyue, who asked you to save me? I didn’t ask you to do that! Now I have to live in the straw shed with my parents. It’s filled with people infected with the disease. If I had known this would happen, I would have just died in the floodwaters!”
