Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Poke the Cockles of the Heart_1

Attempted rape is still rape!

Nowadays, it’s encouraged that working women can hold up half the sky, and rape is a serious crime!

Even if it’s just attempted, it’s not a light matter!

"I guess that’s likely." Snake King said, "After all, so many people in the village saw it, and neither Secretary Qi nor the villagers dare to protect Qi Jianguo because of Qi Xiaoyan’s situation, so it’s best for you to follow Third Grandma Qi’s advice."

He Tiantian nodded in agreement and said, "Exactly, not listening to the elder, one suffers right in front of their eyes. If I hadn’t stopped Grandma Qi this time, I would have suffered a dumb loss."

I would have been pressed down by Qi Jianguo for nothing, and I wouldn’t have been able to get revenge.

"You must remember in the future not to be alone, to avoid Qi Jianguo’s family seeking private revenge." Snake King warned, "These next few days I have a feeling of breakthrough, so I probably won’t have the energy to look after things outside. You need to be careful on your own. If there’s an emergency, you can summon me. If you can handle it on your own, then don’t disturb me."

"I understand, Snake King. You concentrate on your cultivation, I wish you achieve Divine Power Mastery soon," He Tiantian said with a smile, respectfully seeing Snake King into the barrier.

When Snake King cultivates, he must focus and shut out external disturbances, unless He Tiantian calls him with a spell.

After Snake King left, He Tiantian was tired too and drifted into dreamland.

She didn’t know how long she had slept when a clamor came from outside.

Waking up, He Tiantian heard the voice of Third Grandma Qi: "You are being too forceful. Go back, don’t stay here."

An old lady’s wailing was heard outside: "Oh my dear sister-in-law, please be kind! Jian Guo is also your junior, your grandson. You can’t just favor an outsider over your own villagers!"

Third Grandma Qi just laughed and wasn’t angry but continued in a steady voice, "Heh, what you’re saying isn’t right. If your son has done something wrong, he should be punished. Although the young lady is from the city, she’s still a decent person, and she was almost spoiled by Qi Jianguo. Instead of crying here, you’d better go find some connections to get a lighter sentence."

He Tiantian realized that this was Old Lady Qi.

Just yesterday, this old lady was arrogantly pointing at her nose and cursing her, calling her a fox spirit and accusing her of seducing Qi Jianguo.

Pah!

My former life, I admit, was unlucky and useless, truly a disaster of bad blood.

This life, I’ve always been avoiding Qi Jianguo.

But Qi Jianguo, good Lord, despite my clear refusal, still had the audacity to think he could force himself on me.

A woman, facing a grown man, is naturally at a disadvantage.

If I didn’t have the Snake King, even starting over, I would probably be ruined by Qi Jianguo.

He Tiantian was full of hatred!

Hatred that made her teeth itch!

He Tiantian wanted to go out and point at Old Lady Qi’s nose and curse her, but then she thought about it, that old lady with a mouth full of filth, and who when cursing, spat out all that was dirty and foul.

He Tiantian, a young girl, admitted she couldn’t out-curse Old Lady Qi.

Anyway, Third Grandma Qi was outside, she could speak up for her.

Although He Tiantian didn’t go out, she kept her ears pricked up and listened from inside the house.

"Sister-in-law, please help Jian Guo. Have you forgotten how filial Jian Guo is? When you twisted your ankle, Jian Guo even brought you eggs to visit. You watched Jian Guo grow up; you have to talk to that He Tiantian, tell her not to report it." Old Lady Qi brought up the eggs Qi Jianguo previously brought, reminding Third Grandma Qi the favor she owed their family!

"Oh, I’ve always remembered," Third Grandma Qi said. "Jian Guo isn’t feeling well this time, so I’ll pack up ten eggs later, and you can take them back for Jian Guo to nourish himself."

Seeing that Third Grandma Qi was impervious to persuasion, Old Lady Qi grew anxious and said, "Third Sister-in-law, over the years, our family has never bullied you. You can’t just stand by and watch us suffer!"

Hearing this, Third Grandma Qi couldn’t help but laugh with anger.

"Not bullying me, an old widow, is that supposed to be kind?"

Besides, although she was an old widow, she was not without support.

At this moment, Third Grandma Qi thought of Old Man Qi, who was always smiling cheerfully.

Although Old Man Qi hadn’t said it explicitly, the astute Third Grandma Qi understood perfectly well!

That man had always been helping her!

It was certain that as long as Old Man Qi was around, no one in Qijia Village would dare bully her.

"Heh, you haven’t bullied me, and I should thank you for that?" Third Grandma Qi said indifferently, "Girl Tian is my adopted granddaughter; it’s her filial piety towards me. I can’t say those words and chill Girl Tian’s heart. Without rules, there is no square or circle. If you do something wrong, you must be punished; otherwise, who would remember the rules of propriety in the future!"

Seeing that Third Grandma Qi was immovable, and realizing that no amount of pleading would yield the answer she wanted, Old Lady Qi stopped begging and said coldly, "You curse of a widow, who killed her husband and child, you deserve to be without a son or husband for life."

Though she had become very strong-hearted, Third Grandma Qi’s breath caught at Old Lady Qi’s accusation, and her face showed sorrow.

Husband, son, they were the eternally aching part of her heart!

Seeing how distressed the old widow Third Grandma Qi looked, a twisted pleasure surged through Old Lady Qi’s heart!

Humph!

What good is beauty if fate is cruel!

Deserved!

No man, no son!

Even in death, no one will bother, no one will care!

"Heh, I admit your words hurt me, but you aren’t any better off than I am," Third Grandma Qi said with a cold laugh. "To bear a child and not nurture it is also harmful to others and oneself, a disgrace not even equal to a brute. This is my home, get out!"

Old Lady Qi’s face turned ashen with anger from Third Grandma Qi’s scolding, and relying on her large feet, she charged forward, intending to hit Third Grandma Qi.

He Tiantian, seeing this, rushed out from the house and stood in front of Third Grandma Qi, pushing Old Lady Qi away and pointing at Old Lady Qi’s nose, she scolded, "You unreasonable old pious woman, you tear open others’ wounds just because they won’t help you, your family deserves to have a rapist. With an elder like you, how could the younger generation be any good."

Old Lady Qi stepped back two steps, seeing it was He Tiantian, then staggered and fell to the ground, rolling around, cursing, "The young people from the city are hitting me, my old arms and legs, I’m going to be beaten to death..."

Old Lady Qi screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice carrying far.

Third Grandma Qi gave a bitter smile and furrowed her brows, "You shouldn’t have come out; this old lady is probably going to cling to you now."

He Tiantian pouted and said, "If I hadn’t come out, she would have hit you. You have small feet, and she has large feet; you can’t beat this old pious woman. She just knows how to make a scene, I’m not afraid!"

"Ah..." Third Grandma Qi was both pained and relieved.

It wasn’t the busy farming season, and every household had people at home. Hearing the shouting here, they all came over.

After a while, Third Grandma Qi’s courtyard was full of onlookers, watching Old Lady Qi rolling on the ground.
