Chapter 23 -23: Make her family peel off a layer

Having heard Chiang Xiao’s words, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were so angry that they shook all over.

“This Ding Dani, so young yet so wicked at heart,” Chiang Songhai said in both anger and distress, reaching out to touch Chiang Xiao’s head.

“Exactly, how can she have the face to claim that she saved our Little?” Ge Liutao’s eyes reddened, “If she hadn’t bumped into your Uncle Canyuan in such a panic, who knows if she would have even mentioned your falling into the water! If there had been any more delay, Little right now…”

The sentence wasn’t finished, but Chiang Xiao understood her meaning.

After she had fallen into the water, Ding Dani, out of fear, ran away immediately, and then at the entrance of the village, she ran into Xu Canyuan who had just returned from visiting relatives. Xu Canyuan, seeing her in utter panic and pale as death, grabbed her and asked a few more questions before Ding Dani revealed that she had fallen into the creek.

Without a second’s delay, Xu Canyuan sprinted to Nameless Creek and barely managed to save her.

What if Ding Dani hadn’t run into Xu Canyuan at that time? What if Xu Canyuan hadn’t grabbed her and asked those extra questions?

Would Ding Dani have run home out of fear and not told anyone?

Had that happened, she would surely have been dead by now.

Thus, Chiang Xiao would absolutely never forgive Ding Dani.

As for Xu Canyuan, he was indeed her lifesaver.

“Grandpa and Grandma, I will go to thank Uncle Canyuan tomorrow,” Chiang Xiao said, then felt a pang of guilt in her heart.

After these events in her previous life, their family had been mired in such troubles, one thing after another, and they had never properly thanked Xu Canyuan for saving her life.

Later, when she and Grandpa were slandered like that, Uncle Canyuan had spoken up for them, but it wasn’t long before his own family faced trouble, and no one had the spare energy to care for others.

This time around, she couldn’t live like that. She had to repay enmity with vengeance and gratitude with kindness.

“You’re still sick, Grandpa has already thanked your Uncle Canyuan on your behalf. Wait until you’re better, then go and thank him in person,” Ge Liutao said.

“I will get better tomorrow, I’m already feeling much better today. Grandma, don’t we have a basket of eggs saved up? Take out a dozen, tomorrow I want to bring them to Uncle Canyuan,” Chiang Xiao said.

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were both surprised to hear such a suggestion from Chiang Xiao, as she had never taken such initiative before.

“Our Little is really growing up, becoming sensible,” Songhai said after a pause, his voice full of relief.

“Grandpa and Grandma, I was immature before. From now on, I will be good,” Chiang Xiao’s eyes welled up.

Chiang Songhai stroked her head again. Then he asked, “Do you really intend to sue Ding Dani?”

The conversation among the three had come full circle, finally returning to this point.

“Didn’t I speak to Secretary Uncle tonight? If the Ding Family still comes to make trouble tomorrow, I’ll sue her! But if Ding Dani can recognize her mistake and sincerely apologise to me, I will be magnanimous! So, it all depends on their attitude.”

If possible, Chiang Xiao really did want to sue Ding Dani and make her pay a heavy price.

But she knew that she didn’t have the ability to do so at the moment.

Guiying’s older brother was quite influential in the town, and Guiying’s family didn’t have any major conflicts with the villagers in Siyang Village. If they made reckless accusations, her family didn’t care, but if she really tried to sue Ding Dani for murder, Guiying would surely turn to her older brother for help. By then, Chiang Xiao’s own situation would become very difficult.

She could meticulously plot it if necessary, but she simply couldn’t wait for such an elaborate revenge; she needed to act tomorrow. She couldn’t sue Ding Dani, but she could still make the Ding Family shed a layer of skin!
