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."
