Chapter 117 Magic Arrives
“Doesn’t Sister-in-law Song like to shout? Then let her talk her fill. Make her kneel down at the village entrance, apologize, admit she’s talking nonsense, and slap herself,” Ting Nan said fiercely.
"Good! She deserves it!" Aunt Song wished she could kick this woman. She had always treated her well. "She's afraid Runze will leave her now, so she's very scared and will definitely cooperate. She should be taught a lesson, otherwise Lingling will be verbally abused again when she gets home."
"Yes, we must make her admit that she heard things from the sidelines, talked nonsense without understanding the facts, wrongly accused Sister Lingling, and drove Sister Lingling to suicide. In fact, Sister Lingling escaped a long time ago and was not violated. Moreover, it was because of her courageous report that the police arrested those people."
"Tingnan, is this... really true?" Aunt Song looked at Tingnan, who was so serious, that she almost believed it.
Ting Nan grabbed her hand and said, "Auntie, we just want to use Wang Xiaolian's apology to shut others up and prevent rumors from hurting Sister Lingling any further."
"Tingnan, thank you, but... but no one will believe me?"
“It’s alright, ma’am. I’ll go find Officer Zhang later and ask him to come to our village tomorrow. With a police officer’s testimony, your relatives shouldn’t dare to say anything. Besides, they don’t know the truth. The one who did know has been arrested and will be executed soon. There’s no girl here who went with them.”
“Tingnan, Tingnan, you’re so thoughtful. Thank you, Auntie! I… I’ll go back and tell your brother Runze right away. Tell him to reprimand Wang Xiaolian. He has to say that, or else we’ll get a divorce.”
“Yes, Auntie, you, Uncle Song, and Runze must also believe this in your hearts before Wang Xiaolian can believe that it was all her fault and that her curses drove her innocent sister-in-law to suicide.”
"Okay! Okay, Tingnan, I thank you on behalf of my whole family. You are a great benefactor to my Lingling!"
"Auntie, no need to thank me. You took good care of me when I was little. You should go in and keep Sister Ling company. Don't say anything more to her. It's normal that she won't forgive Sister-in-law Song tomorrow." After hearing this, Auntie Song waved her hand and went to the police station to find Officer Zhang.
After waiting a while, Officer Zhang returned from outside. Upon hearing Nan Yi's explanation, he readily agreed without hesitation. He was very willing to help; it was about saving a girl's life.
He still feels heartache thinking about all the girls who were abandoned by their families last time, how helpless and bitter they must have felt. This Song Lingling is both unfortunate and fortunate; she has such good family and friends who are planning for her, and she will be happy in the future.
“Tingnan, if you want to make it more authentic, get a banner that says ‘Presented to Song Lingling for Her Heroic Act,’” Zhang Jianguo suggested.
Upon hearing this, Nan thought it was a good idea. If a police officer presented the award, who wouldn't believe it? She quickly agreed and, following Officer Zhang's instructions, paid out of her own pocket to find an experienced craftsman to make the banner.
Song Tingnan and Zhang Jianguo agreed that she would wait for each other at the entrance of Songjia Village at 10:00 AM the next day, bringing a banner with her. This matter couldn't affect Officer Zhang; although he didn't care about promotions, it was still a case of 'faking'.
The next day, Wang Xiaolian knelt at the village entrance waiting for Song Lingling to be discharged from the hospital and return home. As soon as she saw Lingling, she kowtowed and apologized: "Lingling, Lingling, I'm sorry, I believed the rumors and cursed you, which caused you to be hospitalized."
Lingling, I was wrong, it's all my fault. I didn't know you were so brave, running out immediately and even calling the police. Nothing... nothing like that, it was all me, I was talking nonsense.
The doctors at the hospital all testified that you weren't harmed by those bastards. It was me, I lied, I deserve to die, I almost drove you to your death." Wang Xiaolian slapped herself twice hard and continued kowtowing, "Lingling, please forgive me, please forgive your sister-in-law, even your brother doesn't want me anymore..."
