A car accident, our family of three crossed

"Sister-in-law, are you all home?"

The person who was shouting outside was a woman of the same age as Hang's mother, who was holding the hand of a little boy, who looked to be about four or five years old. Behind her, there were several other women, all with their children, who were all Yangyang's good friends.

"Aunts, sisters-in-law, why are you all here? Come in and sit down." Song Ning walked out first and invited everyone in. After greeting each other, they sat down in the yard. "I was just planning to find a time to come over to thank everyone, and here you all come!"

After that, she thanked the children gently: "Yangyang fell into the water yesterday. Thanks to you for finding adults for help in time, we were able to escape. Thank you!" She waved to Yangyang, "Yangyang, come here, you should also thank your friends!"

Yangyang came over shyly and whispered, "Thank you!" His memory was a little confused, and he didn't have many impressions of these friends, so he felt a little uncomfortable.

Compared to Yangyang's shyness, these children seemed more lively and surrounded him, asking, "Yangyang, are you okay?"

"Yangyang, are you still feeling bad?"

"Yangyang, are you afraid?"

"..."

Song Ning patted everyone's head and took the opportunity to teach them a lesson: "We must learn a lesson from this incident. The riverside is dangerous. Let's not play by the river in the future, okay?"

"it is good!"

The children said in unison.

"That's great!" Song Ning praised them and sent them to play in the yard. "Play in the yard with Yangyang. Auntie will go get you some sugar water."

"Wow! Great!" The children cheered instantly.

Several women who had just arrived saw this, and one sister-in-law praised sincerely: "This Shuheng's wife is very good at educating children." The child in her family is usually as naughty as a monkey, but at this moment he is very obedient.

The leading woman nodded in agreement and called out to Song Ning, "Shuheng's wife, stop busying yourself and let's talk about things first!" The woman was Li Zheng's wife, a woman whose words had more influence in the village.

Song Ning smiled and said, "Aunt, it's okay! Pouring some sugar water won't delay anything. We can talk about things while drinking water!" Their sudden visit, with their children, must be about the incident of falling into the water yesterday. Song Ning also wanted to understand what happened.

Soon, Song Ning brought everyone a bowl of brown sugar water, which made Hang's mother feel distressed. She secretly glared at her and cursed in her heart: There must be a lot of brown sugar in so many bowls of water. What a spendthrift woman.

After drinking the water, several people smacked their lips, reluctant to drink it all at once. The water with sugar tasted really good, and the brown sugar was not cheap. They usually wouldn't eat it at home, but they didn't expect to have such a good time today.

Everyone present was a woman, and Hang Shuheng, a man, consciously avoided the crowd. Li Zheng's wife pulled Song Ning to sit down and said, "We brought the children here because of what happened yesterday." She patted Song Ning's hand, and then asked Hang's mother, "Sister-in-law, why don't you see your granddaughter from your mother's side?" After saying that, she glanced at Zhang Cuiju meaningfully.

Zhang Cuiju noticed her eyes. When she heard her mention her daughter, her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little uneasy.

Speaking of the child, Hang's mother became unhappy, "That damn girl, we asked her to go cut grass for the pigs, but it's already so late? I don't know where she has gone to be lazy." Just as she was thinking about giving her a good beating when she came back, the child came back.

A little girl of five or six years old, carrying a half-basket of pig grass, tiptoed into the yard, but she didn't expect that the yard was full of people. She was stunned for a moment.

Mother Hang had been holding her anger for the whole morning, and she was already in a bad mood. Her anger reached its peak when she saw that the child only brought back half a basket of pig grass. She walked over, twisted one of the child's ears, and took him to the yard, "What a lazy guy! You live and eat for free here, but when I ask you to do some work, you run away to be lazy."

She vented all her anger on the child, not holding back the strength in her hands. The child was obviously used to being treated like this, and although she was in pain when she was led away by the ears, she didn't say a word, which showed that she was also stubborn.

Song Ning frowned as she watched, and she became even more displeased with this cheap mother-in-law. She opened her mouth to stop him, but Zhang Cuiju had already stepped forward to protect the child, "Aunt, the child is still young and can't do much work. Don't argue with her. I'll go back a couple more times to get some pig grass."

The village head's wife really disliked her behavior and said, "Sister-in-law, you can teach the child a lesson later. Let's talk about Yangyang falling into the water yesterday first."

Hang's mother didn't want to offend the wife of the village head, so she twisted the child's ear hard again before letting go and walking back to sit down, saying, "Didn't he just fall into the river accidentally? What's there to say? If the mother hadn't failed to take good care of the child, would he have suffered this?" She glared at Song Ning with eyes as sharp as knives.

Song Ning's face was slightly gloomy. The fact that her grandson almost drowned did not seem to cause any ripples in the old woman's heart.

The wife of the village head was not willing to argue with her, so she turned around and called her grandson, "Erhu, come here, all of you come here." Several other women also called their own children.

The children were playing in the yard, and when they heard the elders calling them, they all gathered around. The village head's wife pulled her grandson aside and asked sternly, "Erhu, tell me again what you said to your grandparents at home. How did Yangyang fall into the water yesterday?"

Er Huzi subconsciously looked at the little girl who was covering her ears and cowering behind Zhang Cuiju. Zhang Cuiju panicked, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger. Sure enough, Er Huzi raised his hand angrily and pointed in their direction, "It was Sanya, she pushed Yangyang into the river."

Song Ning was shocked and asked, "Erhu, who are you talking about?" She thought she had heard it wrong, so she looked at the village head's wife and the others and asked, "Did I hear it wrong?"

The women who came with him showed no signs of surprise, and they were clearly aware of the situation. "At first I thought Erhuzi was just talking nonsense, but after breakfast today I took Erhuzi to ask the children who played by the river yesterday one by one, and they all gave the same answer. We thought we should let you know about this, so we brought the children here."

The headman's wife said with a cold face, and looked at Zhang Cuiju and her daughter with an even more unfriendly look. She really couldn't imagine how a five-year-old child could do such a evil thing.

Zhang Cuiju's face turned pale after hearing these few words. She opened her mouth and tried to excuse her daughter, "No, it's impossible. This must be a misunderstanding. How can you take a child's words seriously?"

Upon hearing this, the village head's wife angrily slammed the table and asked sternly, "Do you mean to say that we are all ganging up to wrongly accuse your San Ya?"

Seeing her unhappy tone, Zhang Cuiju hurriedly waved her hands to explain, "I, I didn't mean that... It's just that the children are still young after all, maybe, maybe we made a mistake..." She pulled San Ya, who was hiding behind her, out with one hand and twisted her arm, "You dead girl, say something! You didn't do it, right?" It seemed that as long as the child denied it, the facts could be reversed.

However, San Ya just covered her ears, buried her head and kept silent. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it, so how could they not understand?

The children were immediately unhappy. "No! We didn't wrongly accuse her. She was the one who pushed Yangyang into the river."

"She was the one who rushed out from behind the tree and pushed Yangyang into the river. She did it on purpose. We all saw it."

"She is so mean. She always likes to bully Yangyang, steal Yangyang's food, and push Yangyang into the water."

"We hate her, she's a bad kid."
