70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 18 The abacus beads jumped on her face
Xiaopang was still very frightened at this moment, and he cried even harder in Grandma Ma's arms, sobbing and shouting, "Grandma..."

Old Ma coaxed and touched him, feeling extremely distressed, and asked, "You were fine, how did you fall into the river?"

After she finished speaking, Old Lady Ma looked up and saw Shen Nanqiao. Her face suddenly darkened. She stood up, put her hands on her waist, stared with her drooping eyes, her eyeballs almost popping out, and shouted at the top of her voice:

"Shen Nanqiao, it's you again!"

Old Mrs. Ma dragged her grandson to Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely regretful.

I should have read the original book earlier, but then I thought, what's the point of reading it? Shen Nanqiao offended quite a few people in the original book.

After she came through, she had to clean up the mess for her original self.

Shen Nanqiao retracted his gaze and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Old Mrs. Ma rolled her eyes and started thinking about extorting money.

Everyone knows that Shen Nanqiao uses the Jiang family's money to eat and drink lavishly outside. His family has three maids, and their food and clothing expenses are tight every month. This is a good opportunity to extort some money.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Ma sat down on the ground, wiping her tears and shouting:
"Everyone, come and judge for justice! This Shen Nanqiao stole my grandson's candy and made him cry.
Now, she pushed my grandson into the river. She wants to kill my grandson!"

When the people around heard this, they immediately started talking in low voices.

"This Shen Nanqiao really bullied my aunt's grandson and made him cry before. Is he here to steal something again this time?"

Old Ma cried even harder, and she pulled her grandson's clothes and asked, "Xiaoyu, tell me, how did you fall into the river? Tell grandma quickly."

Xiaoyu is usually spoiled by his family.

The time when Shen Nanqiao snatched his candy, he was the one who first called Shen Nanqiao a dirty slut, which made Shen Nanqiao angry and then snatched his candy.

The original person was a hot-tempered person. He would talk when he was right and throw a tantrum when he was wrong. He was not afraid of anything.

Xiaoyu had remembered it all along. When he heard his grandmother ask this, he immediately pointed his chubby finger at Shen Nanqiao and shouted:

"Grandma, she was the one who pushed me into the river! Grandma, she bullied me!"

After saying that, he burst into tears again with a "wow".

Shen Nanqiao's face suddenly turned dark.

She thought to herself, this family's plan has backfired on her.

She vaguely remembered that her original body had snatched the candy because the child loved to lie.

Shen Nanqiao clenched his hands secretly at his sides, feeling very annoyed. He really shouldn't have meddled in other people's business.

Shen Nanqiao curled his lips coldly and said:

"When I passed by, I heard you screaming for help in the river, so I rescued you out of kindness, but you turned around and bit me?"

But the fat kid didn't care at all. He cried until his face turned red, but he still insisted, "It was Shen Nanqiao who pushed me! It was her!"

When Old Lady Ma heard this, she stood up and pointed at Shen Nanqiao's nose and cursed:

"Look at you, you are such a grown-up, yet you still bully a little kid! You are already a mother, aren't you afraid that your two kids will find you embarrassing in the future?

If anything happens to my grandson, I will never forgive you! I tell you, if you don't compensate my family 100 yuan, this matter will never end!

Folks, you are all watching here, bear witness for me! You all saw my grandson fall into the water!

If she doesn't pay my grandson some money and apologize today, I'll go to her house and make trouble every day!"

At this moment, in the distance, Song Xia was walking home with Jiang's father who had just returned from get off work at the steel factory.

Shen Nanqiao has been offered the position of junior worker and will be able to start work tomorrow.

The two were pushing their bicycles and heard the noise coming from the other side. They looked over curiously and were startled by the sight.

Song Xia suddenly became nervous and said to Jiang's father, "Dad, look, isn't that our daughter-in-law? Why is she surrounded by people?"

When Jiang's father saw it, he frowned subconsciously.

I wondered what trouble this daughter-in-law had gotten herself into outside.
Song Xia didn't care about anything else and pulled Jiang's father over here.

After rushing into the crowd, Song Xia hurried to Shen Nanqiao and asked anxiously: "What...what's going on?"

When Old Lady Ma saw this, she raised her voice even higher and shouted:

"Sister Song, look at your daughter-in-law. Last time she stole my grandson's candy, and now she pushed him into the river. This is a matter of life and death. It's against the law!"

When Song Xia heard this, her heart suddenly tightened, as if it was about to stop beating.

She quickly explained to Old Lady Ma:
"Sister Ma, my daughter-in-law would never lay hands on a child. There must be a misunderstanding here."

"Humph, misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding could there be! She even dared to snatch my grandson's candy, what else is there to be afraid of?

Maybe she was the one who pushed my grandson into the river! I warned her last time. I think she just holds a grudge and wants to harm my grandson!"

Old lady Ma yelled at the top of her lungs,
"If you don't give me a hundred yuan today, this matter will not end! If you don't give me the money, I will go around the village and shout about how vicious your daughter-in-law is!
Don’t you have two children at home? They still need to go to school, right? "

Old Lady Ma's drooping eyes rolled around, her eyes full of calculations.

Jiang's father is the only seventh-level worker in the village who works in a steel factory, and his monthly salary is more than 100 yuan.

This is more than what they earn from farming in a year.

Old Mrs. Ma saw this as a good opportunity and was determined to extort the hundred dollars.

Song Xia turned and looked at Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao also saw Song Xia's red eyes.

Even so, Song Xia did not blame Shen Nanqiao, but asked with trembling lips:
"Nan Qiao, tell mom, is it like what Sister Ma said?"

In the past, Song Xia might have accepted it, after all, she knew what kind of person Shen Nanqiao was.

But in the past two days, she felt that Shen Nanqiao had changed and was completely different from before.

Although it was not clear whether it was because of the hit on the head, she liked Shen Nanqiao very much now, and she also hoped that the family could live a good life.

Shen Nanqiao wiped the water from his forehead, shook off the water on his clothes, and then took the initiative to look at Old Lady Ma:

"Your grandson fell into the water, and I jumped in to save him. If it weren't for me, your grandson would have been hopeless."

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Ma almost laughed to death. She immediately clapped her hands and asked everyone to listen carefully:

"Listen, Shen Nanqiao said she saved my grandson! Shen Nanqiao is a landlubber, who doesn't know that?

Shen Nanqiao, you lie without thinking! My grandson was so frightened because of you, I ask you for a hundred yuan, it's not too much, right? "

Shen Nanqiao slowly narrowed his eyes, took the initiative to walk forward and looked at Xiaopang.

When Xiaopang saw Shen Nanqiao walking towards him, he was a little scared and shrank back.

Unexpectedly, Shen Nanqiao took out candy from the cloth bag.

These candies were originally bought for Yaoyao and Xiaohan, but now in order to prove her innocence, she could only take them out and wave them in front of Xiaopang:
"Xiaoyu, did I save you just now? If you tell the truth, I will give you all these candies."

Xiaopang looked at the candy and became extremely greedy.
