After the police arrived, the matter was quickly investigated since there were both evidence and witnesses.
When the old man visited the thatched cottage, he saw the beautiful Xiao Li. He went to tease her, touching her hands. The waitress reflexively pushed him and caused him to have a heart attack.
After that, instead of saving him, his two daughters-in-law detained Xiao Li and cursed at her. They didn’t even allow the attendants to move the old man into a warm room.
Fortunately, Taoyuan Village was well-prepared in terms of safety measures. The moment Xiao Lingyu rushed over, she fed the old man medicine. Otherwise, the old man would be dead already.
After some questioning, it was obvious that the waitress was not at fault.
Xiao Li was acting in self-defense. The old man had brought this upon himself.
In contrast, the two daughters-in-law of the old man knew that the old man had medication on him, but they didn’t help him. They were suspected of intentional murder and were taken away by the police.
Xiao Lingyu didn’t want to deal with the issue between the daughters-in-law and the old man anymore.
Xiao Li was traumatized. Xiao Lingyu gave her a break and told her to rest for two days. She would come back to work after she had adjusted.
At first, the waitress thought that Xiao Lingyu wanted to fire her. Xiao Lingyu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Xiao Li was eventually convinced that Xiao Lingyu wasn’t going to fire her.
“Tsk. What kind of people are these?” After the staff heard about this matter, they were puzzled, “The man is already so old, but he is still so lecherous. He dares to molest people even though he has heart conditions.”
“Based on his attitude, I reckon that his two daughters-in-law have suffered a lot at home too. But, they are not good people either.”
“If they are, they wouldn’t have done something like this.”
“Fortunately, boss Xiao is smart and knowledgeable. She handled this matter expertly.”
“How could a person be so loved by the heavens? She has all the good things going for her. She is beautiful, kind, smart, and capable. Now, she is extraordinarily rich. I hear that her company’s total assets have reached tens of billions.”
“That much?!” It was shocking for some.
“My daughter loves to surf the internet. She saw it on the news. She said that someone estimated the total assets of the Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Group to be at least tens of billions.”
“Really? This is simply too unbelievable.”
“Do you know how expensive these vegetables are? Do you know how many supermarket chains boss Xiao has? One supermarket’s daily turnover is around a million!” The woman remembered what her daughter had told her.
“Isn’t it too exaggerated?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask your children to look it up online.”
“This is quite crazy. Twenty or thirty years ago, Xiao Zhengyang’s family was the poorest. Now, in the blink of an eye, they have become a multi-millionaire.”
“Yeah. Actually, even three years ago, Taoyuan Village was the poorest village in the county. No villager was willing to marry their daughters over. Now, in the blink of an eye, the village is the richest village in the county. In the past, the daughters could have their pick of the men in Taoyuan Village, but now, it’s time for the men of Taoyuan Village to be picky. After all, any daughter-in-law who marries over will have a good life.”
“That’s right. If my daughter can marry into Taoyuan Village, I will wake up laughing in my sleep.”
“I wish my son could marry the girls from Taoyuan Village too. The girls are not only rich, but they are also very pretty.”
…
Xiao Lingyu was already very familiar with dealing with the various incidents in the peach blossom village.
There were so many tourists coming every day. Anything could happen. She preferred to handle things privately, but she would never compromise her principles. In that case, she would call the police.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu took safety very seriously and had prepared all sorts of measures.
If she did not prepare the heart disease pills today, the old man might die. Then, Taoyuan Village would have to bear a heavy responsibility. Compensation was a small matter, but the loss of reputation would be unbearable. Plus, it might draw other scammers to come to the village to do something like this.
“Yu ‘Er, you’re back?” Mother Xiao was chopping chicken in the yard. When she saw Xiao Lingyu return, she asked directly, “How did things go?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “It was alright.”
Mother Xiao nodded and said, “That’s good! I just heard that it was an old man who had a heart attack. His two daughters-in-law refused to let us save them. I was really shocked.”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “It’s probably because this old man has been too tyrannical, causing his two daughters-in-law to hate him. That’s why they didn’t want to save him.”
Mother Xiao sighed, “He’s already an old father-in-law, so he should act like one. He brought this on himself. I pity his daughters-in-law.”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Mom, they don’t deserve sympathy.”
They had a grudge against their father-in-law and wanted to take revenge on their father-in-law. However, they tried to blame everything on Xiao Li.
Mother Xiao chopped the chicken and put it into the sink to wash it. Then, she said, “Go and find Xiao Tong.”
Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, “Why would I do that? He’s probably out there playing.”
Mother Xiao chuckled, “He’s still a child, so of course, he’d be playing. Alright, go and find him. It’s time to eat.”
“Okay.” Xiao Lingyu nodded.
