Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1211: Chapter 1212: Unable to Show Compassion

”I always thought Chiang Baohe and Zou Xiaoling got what they deserved, and I even hoped they would have bad luck, but today, seeing Ho Laidi and Chiang Songtao crying like they were about to faint, I felt they were quite pitiable,” Ge Xiaotong told Chiang Xiao after she came back, ”It’s the old sending off the young, quite a heavy blow indeed.”

”Death is what ’the old sending off the young’ really means,” Chiang Xiao said.

Ge Xiaotong lowered her voice, ”Then do you think Chiang Baohe will survive this time? Everyone is saying he’s surely getting the bullet.”

How could he possibly survive with such a huge scandal?

Now the sentencing for these crimes is very severe.

Chiang Xiao did not speak again.

Kind-hearted people might be like this, no matter how despicable someone is, at the brink of their death, compassion emerges.

Sometimes, they might even say, death holds supremacy.

But, if Chiang Baohe were given another chance, would he change? Would he atone for the evil he had done?

Would Ho Laidi and Chiang Songtao properly discipline him?

No.

Thus, people like Chiang Baohe don’t deserve the phrase ’death holds supremacy.’

”Almost the whole town went to see the prison transport,” Liu Pei also said.

”Ho Laidi kept cursing Zou Xiaoling, saying she caused Chiang Baohe’s downfall and even wanted to throw stones at her.”

Chiang Xiao smirked.

So, you see, where is Ho Laidi pitiable?

Until now, she still doesn’t think Chiang Baohe did anything wrong, and continues to push all the blame onto Zou Xiaoling.

In fact, if Zou Xiaoling had accused Chiang Baohe initially, Ho Laidi would have been an accomplice, an accessory.

Unfortunately, Zou Xiaoling had chosen to submit.

In this era, a woman who is humiliated might truly be unable to live on. She didn’t want to judge Zou Xiaoling much, but later on, when Zou Xiaoling harmed Yu Chunyu, it was clear her mind was twisted.

”I guess your granduncle will come knocking again,” Chiang Songhai sighed and told Chiang Xiao.

Before Chiang Baohe gets sentenced, Chiang Songtao definitely won’t give up, definitely he’ll come asking for their help.

Back when he helped Chiang Yuequn go to the capital for school, they knew he actually had such connections. How could he not seek their help now?

Chiang Xiao frowned.

”Let’s all move out these next few days,” she suggested.

It’s not that they were afraid; she just felt that wasting time on these kinds of people and situations wasn’t worth it.

Furthermore, if they made a bigger fuss, people would unconsciously associate their family with Chiang Baohe, making it even less worthwhile.

At times like this, what they needed to do was to stay as far away from the Old Chiang Family as possible.

”Move? Where would we go?” Ge Liutao was suddenly perplexed.

Liu Pei was stunned, ”Are we moving too?”

Why should we be scared of them?

Xu Linjiang, however, agreed with Chiang Xiao’s suggestion.

”It’s perfect, I was going to check out the chestnuts outside the province with dad. We might as well take mom, Xiao Tong, and Little Bean Bun for a trip.”

”I think it’s a good idea,” Ge Dejun nodded.

Chiang Xiao also nodded, ”That’s totally feasible. As for us...”

She thought of an idea, to stay as Great Officer Meng’s family members in their camp!

With the peak of summer and hot weather, not even needing a blanket, just a bed would do. She believed Great Officer Meng could definitely arrange it.

She was always a woman of action, ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Ge Dejun and his family promptly packed their belongings and went straight to the station to buy tickets.
