Chapter 349: Swindling
The young boy was shivering in fear as he lowered his head and said: “I, I fell from the tree.”
Jia Dazhuang said with a bad tone: “Who doesn’t know that you fell from the tree? What I am asking is who made you fall?”
Jia Dazhuang said to the young boy, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Zhi.
The young boy stayed silent first but under the threat of his father and mother. He said with a trembling voice: “I fell on my own.”
When Jia Dazhuang heard of this, he fired up in anger. This was not what he wanted to hear.
In anger, he slapped Dongzi’s pale face. Five red fingerprints immediately showed on the young boy’s face as his cheek got swollen: “Tell me the truth, who made you fall?”
Dongzi’s cried in pain. He choking said: “I really fell on my own.”
Bai Zhi understood what the couple was trying to do. They were obviously trying to frame her. Dongzi told the truth, but they refused to accept it. They wanted him to change his statement.
Bai Zhi walked towards Jia Dazhuang and his wife then said: “I saw two boys run outside the woods. They seemed to be very scared. They ran away in a hurry. One of them is the youngest son of Wang Daniu. He brought his son when he came to our house one time, so I recognized him.”
Jia Dazhuang frowned and said: “What are you trying to say?”
Bai Zhi smiled and replied: “What I want to tell you is that before I entered the woods, your son has already fallen from the tree. The two boys who rushed away must have seen your son fall from the tree. In fright, they ran away immediately and looked for adults to save your son. Isn’t that’s why you all rush in here?”
Jia Dazhuang frowned. What Bai Zhi said was true. Indeed, Wang Daniu’s youngest son told them Dongzi fall on the tree. But they didn’t expect to meet Bai Zhi here. Since she was here and moved his son, he naturally will not let her go.
Jia Dazhuang coldly said: “No one told me that Dongzi was injured here. We came here to ask him to go home to eat. I didn’t expect to bump with you and hurt my son.”
Bai Zhi looked at the ugly face of Jia Dazhuang. The anger in her heart suddenly dissipated. It was boring to talk to him. No matter what people say or explain. He will not listen because he wanted to extort money from her.
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “Suit yourself. The wise man knows he knows nothing. The fool thinks he knows everything. I think you know very clearly what happened inside your heart. I don’t want to spend more time with you.”
Bai Zhi then picked up the bamboo pole on the ground and said to Jia Dazhuang: “I would like to advise you that if you don’t want your child to be disabled, it’s best to send him back to the village to look for a doctor to cure him.”
After that, she carried the bamboo pole to the red fruit trees in the distance.
Jia Dazhuang wanted to catch up and ask for money. But a few men and women hurriedly pulled him: “Dazhuang, it’s important to let your son get treatment first. You can’t delay any further, otherwise, he might end up disabled.”
They were not stupid. It was pretty obvious that Jia Dazhuang wanted to blackmail Bai Zhi. They came here out of kindness. They were worried about Dongzi and wanted to help.
They have no intention to help Jia Dazhuang extort money. What’s more, Bai Zhi was not easy to bully. She now has money and backing.
