A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.
Chapter 9: There Will Be No Retribution
This action immediately caused Mao Chunqiao, Jian Zhongliang, and Li Meiqian, who was hiding behind the crowd, to have their heart rate soar to 180.
It wasn't a big deal for the elders to arrange a marriage for Jian Qingyi.
But Jian Qingyi jumped into the river.
This involves human lives, so this is a complicated matter.
However, it mainly depends on Jian Qingyi's attitude.
She might not pursue the matter.
If the people don't promote it, the officials won't investigate it.
After all, no one actually died.
Naturally, the goal is to minimize major issues and resolve minor ones altogether.
on the contrary……
Just as Zhou Hao said, none of the people involved will escape punishment.
Arranged marriages may not be a major crime, but once someone is imprisoned, the stain can never be washed away.
From now on, forget about getting promoted or making money; just keeping my job and my livelihood will be a blessing.
This is also the fundamental reason why Mao Chunqiao was willing to "cut off her own flesh".
“It’s fake.” Jian Qingyi put away the playfulness in her eyes and answered seriously.
This answer was exactly what Zhou Hao had expected.
after all……
Under the nest, the eggs are finished.
The political commissar didn't care about his young wife's family background, but what about Old Master Lu? What about the Lu family?
He came only to give the Jian family a warning, not to create a tainted father-in-law for his family's political commissar.
"Then why did you jump into the river?" A middle-aged man in his forties in the crowd asked in an unfriendly tone, seemingly dissatisfied with Jian Qingyi's answer.
Mao Chunqiao's glare swept over in a flash.
He cursed inwardly: "That damned bastard! He couldn't beat her son to the director's position, so he resorted to underhanded tactics. No wonder he can't have a son."
Jian Zhongliang also frowned slightly.
Although the group fought fiercely for the position of production director, they all relied on their own abilities. For him to stab them in the back like this is just too despicable!
Jian Qingyi received all of the original owner's memories, so she naturally knew that the person who spoke had always been at odds with Jian Zhongliang.
He and Jian Zhongliang don't get along, so why drag her into it?
A teenage girl is already shy, and after he said that, how will she, who is introverted and timid, ever be able to hold her head high again?
"Who told you I jumped into the river?" Jian Qingyi looked at him coldly.
“Jian Qingyi, don’t be stubborn. Whether you jumped into the river or not, just ask the doctors in the inpatient department at the hospital.” The man’s tone was certain.
They seemed determined to nail Jian Zhongliang and his family to the pillar of shame.
"Does drowning mean I have to jump into a river? What kind of logic is that? Others bind their feet, you bind your cerebellum. And you still want to be the production manager? In your next life!" Jian Qingyi raised her chin, her face full of disdain.
"Jian Qingyi, how come I never realized you were so quick-witted?" The man's face immediately turned ugly.
Missing out on the position of production director will forever remain a pain in his heart.
Jian Qingyi bringing this up in front of everyone was like stabbing him in the heart and slapping him in the face.
"No matter how much you try to deny it, you can't hide the fact that you jumped into the river to commit suicide. I'm just curious, why would your father rather raise that burden Jian Xiaojing than you?" The man's face was full of malice.
If it were the original owner of this body who was weak-willed, she probably would have collapsed long ago.
"You're really meddling in other people's business. You haven't even cleaned up your own mess, yet you're worrying about other people's problems," Jian Qingyi clicked her tongue.
“My dad is a director, at least. His salary is at least twenty yuan more than yours. Even if he had another child, he would still live a more comfortable life than you, a repairman.”
When it comes to hitting someone where it hurts, Jian Qingyi has never backed down.
The man was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Don't argue with a child." The middle-aged woman next to the man gently tugged at his sleeve.
"You know nothing." The man waved his hand and shoved the woman away.
Caught off guard, the woman was pushed and stumbled. If the stairwell hadn't been so crowded, she might have seriously injured herself.
"Jian Qingyi, you say you didn't jump into the river? Do you dare swear this in front of everyone?" The man glared angrily at Jian Qingyi.
Clearly, they have no intention of letting the matter rest.
"Are you a three-year-old? You believe in oaths? If oaths were truly effective, half the people in the world would be gone." Jian Qingyi couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Just tell me if you dare or not?" The man was convinced that Jian Qingyi wouldn't dare.
Jian Qingyi raised her right hand and held up three fingers. "I swear I only accidentally fell into the water that day, I didn't jump into the river. If I'm lying, may my father Jian Zhongliang, my grandmother Mao Chunqiao, my grandfather Jian Dashan, my stepmother Li Meiqian, and my sister Jian Xiaojing all be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
"Is that okay now?"
Everyone: You really are a very filial son!
He swore an oath and risked his entire family's lives.
Zhou Hao: His family's political commissar will definitely not be bored anymore.
The minds of those whose names were called were all buzzing.
The man was also speechless.
She vowed to take the fall for someone else.
He finally understood why Jian Zhongliang would rather raise a burden than raise her.
If his daughter were such an ingrate, he would have thrown her into the river to feed the fish long ago.
"Jian Qingyi, are you trying to get yourself killed? Why did you swear to drag us into this?" Jian Dashan, carrying a bucket of water in his left hand and a fishing rod and a small stool in his right, roared from behind the crowd.
After retiring, Jian Dashan became obsessed with fishing, and he would go to the riverbank to squat every day after lunch.
Today, when we were packing up, we caught a big fish weighing over three pounds. Jian Dashan was overjoyed and showed it off all the way.
Seeing that the hallway was crowded with people, he subconsciously thought that someone was fighting again.
With eight households on each floor, there are many people and a lot of gossip; even the smallest trivial matter can lead to a long argument.
Because there were too many people, he couldn't squeeze in and could only stand at the back and listen to the commotion.
He didn't realize that the excitement today came from his family until his name was called.
"Grandpa, don't be afraid. What I just said is the truth. There won't be any retribution." Jian Qingyi blinked and smiled innocently.
"There won't be any retribution? Why don't you swear on yourself?" Jian Dashan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
“Because you are all my most important family members, such a sacred thing as making an oath must be taken seriously. What if I just say something casually and God thinks I have slighted or neglected Him and blames me?” Jian Qingyi said with a matter-of-fact expression.
Jian Dashan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
She's afraid of divine retribution, but aren't they afraid?!
Zhou Hao pursed his lips tightly, clearly trying his best to suppress a laugh.
His sister-in-law is really something...
interesting!
"Uncle Jian, what kind of good fortune did your family burn in your past life?" the man chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.
“Regardless of whether it’s high-grade or low-grade incense, my grandfather still managed to raise two sons and a daughter, unlike some people…” Jian Qingyi dragged out her words in an extremely irritating way.
It took the sarcastic and unsettling tone to its extreme.
The man who had fathered five daughters in a row was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he immediately bristled.
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush over and teach Jian Qingyi a lesson.
The woman beside him, fearing he would cause trouble, reached out to grab him, but he pushed her so hard she fell flat on her back.
