Chapter 87 Frame
Yun Qiao carried Yun Lian home on his back.
It was the afternoon, and Yun Lang and a group of children of the same age had gone out to play. Yun Gang also wanted to see if there was anything he could do to support his family, so he was not at home. Only Liu Fang was sitting on the brick bed, knitting a straw cattail leaf fan for summer. She thought to herself that she would help Yun Gang reduce his burden as much as she could!
While she was in a daze, she heard Yun Qiao’s voice, accompanied by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
‘What’s going on?! Is Yun Lin’s family going to tear the roof off?’
Liu Fang reluctantly went to the door and opened it. She saw Yun Lian, who was on the back of Yun Qiao, looking very disheveled. Her hair was messy, and she was lying on the back of Yun Qiao lifelessly. “Oh my god! What happened?”
Liu Fang saw Yun Lian being unconscious, but she did not think the worst of it.
“Auntie, she was bullied by the drunkard, Zhao Qiang.”
Yun Qiao answered Liu Fang, but the more he described it, the worse it became.
“What?! Bullied?!”
Liu Fang was also unwilling to believe it. Although she did not love her adopted daughter very much, Yun Lian was, after all, her daughter whom she had raised from a young age. She still could not bear for her to suffer such hardship.
Moreover, a girl’s reputation was especially important. Liu Fang still hoped that Yun Lian could marry into a good family when she grew up and receive a generous betrothal gift. She could then help arrange a good marriage for Yun Lang.
If Yun Lian was tarnished by Zhao Qiang, would all her future plans not be ruined? Moreover, Liu Fang might even be criticized by others when she walked on the street in the future. They would say that she had raised a slut.
“No, Auntie, it’s not what you think. The drunkard didn’t succeed. Old Master Qiao saved her, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Looking at how shocked Liu Fang was, Yun Qiao continued to explain.
“Is that so?! That’s good, that’s good…”
After hearing Yun Qiao’s explanation, Liu Fang calmed down a little. Even so, she began to plan to shift the blame for this matter to someone else.
Liu Fang thought that Yun Lian had gone out with Yun Xi in the morning. This matter had originally started because of Yun Xi. If it were not for the fact that Zhao Qiang did not hold a grudge against Yun Xi, how could he have made a move on Yun Lian?
At this moment, the knockout drug on Yun Lian’s body had passed its effect. She could stand on the ground without Yun Qiao’s help. Despite that, she was still thinking about the disgusting treatment she had just suffered. She lowered her head and could not come back to her senses for a long time.
When Liu Fang saw that Yun Lian was able to stand, she pulled her to Yun Shan’s house. No matter what, she wanted an explanation. It would be best if Yun Shan felt guilty and took out a sum of money to compensate Yun Lian. In that way, Liu Fang would also be able to receive a lot of money. For some time, they would no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
“Yun Shan, Chen Li, come out.”
Liu Fang’s foul-mouthed voice could be heard from afar.
Inside the house, Yun Xi heard her aunt’s cries and thought, ‘She’s really not afraid of publicizing family scandals for the sake of benefits!’
“What’s going on?” Yun Shan hurriedly ran out of the house. There were fewer things to do at noon today, so he returned home early. He did not expect such a bad thing to happen at home.
“Ha, Yun Shan, you should go ask your good daughter what happened. Why did Yun Lian go out to chat with her? Yun Xi came back safe and sound, yet Yun Lian was almost raped by a drunkard!”
“What?!”
When he heard those words, Yun Shan was also quite shocked. He did not expect such a tragedy to happen. Nevertheless, he still trusted his daughter. He believed that no matter how much Yun Xi hated Yun Lian, she would not let a hooligan trample on her sister.
This was a matter that concerned a girl’s innocence. How could anyone make such a rash comment?
“You’re spouting nonsense. What has Yun Lian’s near-danger got to do with Xixi?” Chen Li, who had always been patient, ran out of the house and shouted at Liu Fang.
Such things could not be said carelessly. Otherwise, Yun Xi’s reputation would be ruined in the future. Who would be willing to befriend such a vicious woman?
