A boy with a similar age to Dongzi came in. Bai Zhi’s eyes lit, wasn’t he the other boy she had seen in the peanut fields?

The boy saw so many people in the house. When he saw Wang Daniu’s son, he immediately smiled and said: “You also came in here? Where is Dongzi? Is he alright now?”

Village Chief Li said to the boy: “Tiedan, how did you know Dongzi is hurt?”

Jia Dazhuang and Wang Daniu felt things were not good. They both rushed forward, but Village Chief Li stopped them: “What are you two doing? Can’t you see I am asking the boy? We are not done yet, right?”

Village Chief Li’s face was black, so the two didn’t dare to answer back. They could only retreat.

Village Chief Li turned his head and asked Tiedan again: “Hurry, tell me what’s going on?”

Tiedan looked at his father. When he saw him nodded his head, he then dared to open his mouth: “I really didn’t mean to leave Dongzi. I was so scared, so I ran away. I didn’t deliberately leave him alone.”

Bai Zhi asked: “Tiedan, how did Dongzi fall?”

Tiedan replied: “Dongzi is good in climbing trees. We agreed to meet with him. He will climb up the red fruit tree while we will pick the red fruits below. The red fruits that were left are only at the top of the tree. Dongzi climbed up, but because he was one head shorter, he couldn’t reach it. And then he fell off the tree. We got really scared, we thought he fell to death and so we ran away. When I heard to my uncle that he only broke his legs, I told father what happened, and then he brought me here.”

Jia Dazhuang’s face turned black, and then roar at Tiedan in anger: “Tell me, is it you who push him down?”

Tiedan shook his head again and again: “No, no, I didn’t. I was standing under the tree all the time.”

Jia Dazhuang said: “You must have shaken the tree and made Dongzi fall.”

Tiedan’s eyes redden as he shook his head in desperation: “No, I didn’t!”

Bai Zhi coldly glared at Jia Dazhuang: “Jia Dazhuang, are you a mad dog? Who pushes who? Can’t you see that you’re scaring the child? You simply want to extort money, don’t you? In a blink of an eye, you transferred your goal to Tiedan, don’t you have any shame?”

Lu Changqing was also very depressed. He kindly took his son to visit Dongzi. How did his son suddenly become the culprit?

Jia Dazhuang wanted to open his mouth again, but Village Chief Li screamed back at him: “You shut up, all you do is blame people, what do you think you are doing? You can’t even let go of a child, do you want the money that much?”

Jia Dazhuang busily said: “Village Chief, my son is very obedient at ordinary times. He never does any dangerous things. This thing, it was definitely the fault of these two kids. You have to seek justice for Dongzi.”

Two kids?

Wang Daniu’s eyes widen as he stared at Jia Dazhuang unbelievably. This guy was also framing his son? He wants to swindle money even with him?

Wang Daniu became so angry and told his son: “Huzi, you tell these people what really happened at that time. Say it clearly, don’t let yourself be wronged.”

Village Chief Li was too old, so how can he continue talking nonsense with them? The bickering made him felt his head getting big and so he shouted at them: “Hmph! What else is there to say? Everything is clear now. You all go and hurry back to your home.”
