Chapter 24. Release bad energy
Seeing his father's expression soften a bit, Jin'er continued, "And let's face it, people aren't stupid. Even if Hua Xiaocao doesn't admit it, her future days won't be easy. That's kind of like indirect revenge. The most important thing is, Dad, do you think your daughter, when bullied, is the type to not fight back?"
"Good, worthy of being a daughter of the Hua family." The old man Hua looked at his granddaughter dotingly, seeing her as more and more excellent—smart, clever, and understanding the bigger picture.
"Chengtian, put down the stick. Jin'er is right. Without sufficient evidence, going over there would only cause people to criticize the village chief's son for abusing his power."
The old man Hua gave his son a look, and although Hua Chengtian understood, he couldn't help but frown. He tightened his grip on the stick, but eventually, he threw it down.
Although he immediately wanted to stand up for his daughter, both the child and his father had a point. As the village chief, he had to be mindful of some influences.
...But if you can't do it openly, there's still the option of doing it secretly, Hua Chengtian squinted his eyes.
In any case, they had to vent this anger.
"You men don't need to get involved in this matter. I and Yun Ao's mother will go have a word with them. Hua Xiaocao can't just pretend not to know that Jin'er was up the mountain; she and Zhao have no reason," the old lady Hua said through gritted teeth.
Women are inherently unreasonable, and even more so when children are involved.
She may be the village chief's wife, but she's also known in the village for being fiercely protective. It's not suitable for the village chief to show up, and as a woman, she doesn't know much about grand principles. She only knows that if her family is bullied, they must retaliate.
Hua Chengtian glanced at his father. Seeing no response, he nodded.
