Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Desperation, Seeking Help

So now, the only way left to save his daughter was to seek Luo Qiao’s help. As an orphan girl who wanted to establish herself in the village, she had to weigh her options carefully.

Little did he know, he had been too naive. If the cadres from the commune didn’t dare to intervene during the day, could she, a lone girl, really handle it?

Seeing that Luo Qiao’s house had already turned off the lights, Zhang Dongze hesitated, suggesting, "Dad, how about we come back early tomorrow morning? It’s dark and gloomy now. Let’s not give the villagers something else to gossip about."

Zhang Dezheng insisted, "No, it would be too late if we wait until tomorrow. Luo Qiao must go to the commune before her work at the police station begins in the morning. As long as she doesn’t pursue accountability, this matter will be easy to handle. Go and knock on the door."

The number of people following them was growing. Someone whispered, "Secretary, this is really bullying. They come to Luo Qiao’s house in the dead of night, father and son. Are they trying to ruin the girl’s reputation?

This is too much, even for the sake of their own daughter."

Lu Yichen had been listening to the commotion outside from his courtyard. When he heard that the crowd had moved away from his place, he opened the gate and headed towards the Village Chief’s house.

In Wangjia Gully, Wang Chunnian sat on the kang sighing and moaning. Old Madam Wang said, "I’m really worried. Let’s go back tomorrow morning to have a look. Avoiding the issue is not a solution.

"You raised your daughter to be selfish and narrow-minded. Tomorrow morning, have your Big Brother take you back. You can’t show no consideration at all after what that girl has suffered. What kind of people would we be then?"

Wang Chunnian nodded, "I understand, Mom. I’ll go back first thing in the morning, bring some nourishments to offer, and try to speak well of her, asking for her forgiveness."

Old Madam Wang continued sewing the shoe sole, "That’s right. Dezheng is the Secretary, but he must not abuse his power. After all, Qiaoyan did something utterly wrong."

Wang Chunnian’s eyes involuntarily began to tear up again as she said with a sobbing tone, "Mom, I’m just afraid that when I open my eyes tomorrow, I’ll hear news that Qiaoyan couldn’t be saved. That would be the death of me."

Old Madam Wang sighed deeply, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and patted her daughter’s shoulder, "I’m also afraid, but what good does fear do? She had a good life and chose to do those terrible things. We are just common folk; what can we do?

"My daughter, you must think positively. Dezheng said he would handle it well. I think that girl must be reasonable too. If not, I, this old woman, will accompany you tomorrow.

"We’ll sincerely apologize to that young lady and try to get her to let Qiaoyan off the hook. I think, with this lesson, she would change that disagreeable nature of hers."

In Qingshan Village, despite how much Zhang Dongze knocked, no one came to open the door.

Eventually, even the Secretary became impatient, personally slapping the door loudly and calling out, "Luo Qiao, I know you can hear me. Open the door, please, your uncle is begging you."

Luo Qiao finished mending the bedding in her space and then stepped out.

She came out of the house to the courtyard and said, "Secretary, if there’s something you want to say, just say it. It’s really inappropriate for me, a young woman, to open the door for you in the middle of the night."

Zhang Dezheng clenched his fists in anger, realizing that he had lost his composure. The onlooking commune members in the distance must have seen everything clearly, possibly ruining the image he had worked so hard to build over the years.

But now, with him under Luo Qiao’s roof, he had no choice but to bow his head. He could only keep his temper in check and say, "I wanted to talk to you about Qiaoyan."

But in his heart, he was thinking, "Just wait, after this is over, I’ll see how I deal with you. Dream on if you think you can live peacefully in this village."
