Chapter 391 Child Bride
Uncle Taiye stared at her with his cane, which immediately made Du Hehua feel guilty.
Why...why are you looking at me like that?
Du Hehua snorted and turned to close the courtyard gate.
"You're just pretending to be kind. Our family's affairs are none of your business."
Ah Da glared angrily, pointing his finger at her.
"What about me? What about me? Did I say something wrong? Hypocritical! If you were really a good person, you should have let Xu Yiyi save Xiao Jun first this morning! You just stood by and watched her die, you're a hypocrite."
Du Hehua rolled her eyes at them, and Uncle Taiye remained silent for a moment.
Given what happened today, he truly couldn't bring himself to tell Xu Yiyi to save Xiao Jun first.
Ah Da immediately saw the guilt in Uncle's heart.
Du Hehua felt she was in the right, and the more she spoke, the more agitated she became, tears mixed with resentment streaming down her face.
The few who hadn't left were so angry they laughed.
"Now you know to come here and play the good guy? Let me tell you, it's too late! Xiao Jun is gone... Do you know that my family and the Li family had already made arrangements! If we can't hand over her in a few days, how are we supposed to explain this to the Li family?! You have to compensate me for my daughter! You have to compensate me for my cash cow!"
This blatant scream, using her daughter as a bargaining chip, turned the faces of everyone present ashen.
"So that's why Xiao Jun wanted to commit suicide?"
Uncle's low, hoarse voice reached the ears of everyone present.
“Pinghai told me that he pulled the person out of the water as soon as he went in, but Xiaojun didn’t want to come up and struggled to break free.”
The great-uncle looked directly at her, thus not missing the guilty look that flashed in her eyes.
"For that little bit of money, you sold an eleven or twelve-year-old girl to another family to be a child bride. She's your own daughter. Don't you have any conscience?"
Du Hehua was dumbfounded when she heard this.
The next moment, she realized, "That's pure bullshit. Xiao Jun went to the Li family to enjoy a life of luxury. The Li family is a prominent and wealthy family in town! My Xiao Jun is just unlucky; this is her destiny to suffer such a calamity."
Du Hehua snorted coldly, "Don't even mention you, even Xu Yiyi is a fake good person. Xiao Jun usually calls her 'sister' this and 'sister' that, acting all affectionate. It's a pity that this good sister couldn't save her when it came to the crucial moment!"
Ah Da stepped forward and glanced at Du Hehua.
"Regardless of the closeness of the relationship, in that critical situation, the man soaking in the water was the pillar of our clan! He was our future clan leader! He was the uncle who watched Xu Yiyi grow up! It's true that your Xiaojun is pitiful, but even if the sky falls, there's no reason to abandon one's own flesh and blood to save someone from another clan first! It's only right and proper for Yiyi to save her uncle first!"
……
"Exactly! Are we just going to stand by and watch our uncle drown?"
……
"You can't even keep an eye on your own child, yet you blame the rescuer? Your shamelessness is thicker than a city wall."
Other members of the tribe also spoke up, their tone filled with disdain.
Ah Da, who personally participated in the rescue, was genuinely angry.
"I was going to save Xiaojun using Yi Yi's method, but you stopped me, weren't you?"
Ah Da crossed his arms over his chest, just as the argument was reaching its climax.
Zhao Ming then reluctantly came out.
"Everyone, what happens to Xiaojun is our own business. We appreciate your kindness, but we really don't need any help."
Zhao Ming, his face ashen, had offended everyone.
If this argument continues, this idiot will really spill everything he's about to do.
That would be when we truly lose all face.
