Chapter 205: Xiao Xinxin’s Accident
Translator: Lonelytree
“Zhengyang, Qiuying, please help!” Someone kept knocking on Xiao Zhengyang’s courtyard door.
Mother Xiao immediately got up and opened the door. When she saw the anxious Xiao Chengbang and his wife, she asked, “Chengbang, Zhou Yan, what’s going on?” At that moment, Xiao Zhengyang walked out too. “What’s wrong?”
Zhou Yan cried anxiously, “Zhengyang, Qiuying, can you ask Lingyu to send me to the county town?!”
“What happened?” Mother Xiao asked anxiously, “Tell us clearly. If something happens, we will think of a way together.” Then, she ordered Xiao Zhengyang, “Dear, go and wake Yu ‘Er up.”
Xiao Zhengyang returned to the house to get Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu was still very sleep-hungry. Even if there was a storm at night, she would rarely wake up. Mother Xiao didn’t want to wake Xiao Lingyu so late at night, but this appeared to be a serious case.
Zhou Yan cried, “Qiuying, my Xinxin was chased out by her evil boss. She was stranded outside in the middle of the night. She had just called us, and she kept crying. Her father and I are so nervous, so we need Lingyu to send us to the county town.”
“What?” Mother Xiao was very surprised. She immediately asked, “It’s so dangerous for Xinxin, a girl, to be left alone outside. How can her boss be so ruthless?”
“Uncle Chengbang, Auntie Zhou, what’s wrong?” Xiao Lingyu rubbed her sleepy eyes as she walked out.
Mother Xiao said anxiously, “Yu ‘Er, Xinxin was chased out by her black-hearted boss. She is now alone. It’s very dangerous for a lady to be alone at a time like this. We need to get to the county town to help her.”
Xiao Lingyu was shocked, and her drowsiness disappeared. She comforted them, “Uncle Chengbang, Auntie Zhou, don’t worry. I’ll give my brother a call right now and ask him to find Xinxin immediately. Then we’ll go to the county town!”
There was a certain distance between Taoyuan Village and the county town. Who knew what would happen before they arrived.
Xiao Lingye was in the county town, and he had a tricycle at home. He would find Xinxin before they did.
“Yes. Call Ye ‘Er now.” Mother Xiao said as she went to search for her old cell phone.
“Auntie Zhou, I need you to call Xinxin and get her to tell you her exact location.” Xiao Lingyu said decisively. “That way, my brother can get to her as soon as possible!”
“Okay. I’ll go call her now.” They only had a landline and no cell phone. Xiao Lingyu asked her father to grab her cell phone from her room.
Xiao Chengbang and his wife remembered their daughter’s number. They recited the number as Xiao Lingyu keyed it in.
On the other side, Mother Xiao had just reached Xiao Lingye. She instructed, “Ye ‘Er, your Sister Xinxin in the county town has just been chased out by her horrible boss. I need you to go find her. It’s too dangerous for her to be out there on her own. Okay. Wait a minute.” She turned to Xiao Lingyu, “Where’s Xinxin now?”
Xiao Lingyu had just reached Xiao Xinxin. “Xinxin, this is Xiao Lingyu. Where are you now? I’ll have my brother go find you. Okay. You’re at the entrance of Xin Hua Bookstore on Xin Hua Street. Alright, just stand there and don’t move. Don’t go anywhere. My brother will be there soon. Don’t be afraid!”
“She’s at Xin Hua Bookstore on Xin Hua Street. Yes, go there now. After you find her, bring her to your sister’s rental. Uncle Chengbang and Auntie Zhou Yan will be there soon. Okay.” After saying that, Mother Xiao hung up the phone.
Xiao Chengbang and Auntie Zhou were very nervous. They stared at Xiao Lingyu’s phone anxiously.
Xiao Lingyu looked at Auntie Zhou and said, “Xinxin, I’ll let your mother talk to you.”
Then, she handed the cell phone to Auntie Zhou.
Auntie Zhou held the cell phone tightly. She was worried and anxious, “Xinxin, it’s Mommy. Don’t be afraid. Mommy will be there soon. Stay where you are, and don’t wander around. Lingye will be there soon. Don’t be afraid, okay?” As she spoke, Aunt Zhou cried again.
Parents would never stop worrying about their children.
Mother Xiao said, “Yu ‘Er, you should stay at home. I’ll get your fourth uncle to drive them to the county town.”
Xiao Chengbang nodded. “Yes, Lingyu, it’s not that convenient for you. Plus, it’s too dangerous to drive at night. We’ll get Mingyang to drive us.”
The weather was hot, and Xiao Lingyu’s stomach couldn’t be covered anymore. Xiao Lingyu’s family directly admitted that she was pregnant, and they planned to keep the child.
Xiao Zhengyang and his wife’s decision made the people in the village exclaim endlessly. They were harming Xiao Lingyu’s future. Xiao Lingyu was pregnant with a bastard child. If she gave birth to this child, how would she be able to get married in the future? No one knew what they were thinking.
Of course, some villagers kindly advised Xiao Zhengyang and his wife to let Xiao Lingyu abort the child. However, the couple only said that it was fate for the child to come. It would be a sin to abort the kill.
In the future, if a man truly loved Yu ‘Er, they would accept her and her child. Those who couldn’t did not love her anyway.
Seeing how stubborn Xiao Zhengyang and his wife were, everyone stopped trying to persuade them.
While some villagers felt sorry for Xiao Lingyu, there were others who looked down on her. She carried a bastard child, and that was embarrassing. However, none of them dared to say that in broad daylight.
Other than the few families in the village who did not get along with Xiao Zhengyang’s family, not many could afford to offend Xiao Zhengyang’s family.
Moreover, Xiao Lingyu was a capable person. She was helping everyone make money.
After the villagers knew Xiao Lingyu wanted to keep the child, they started to help her. For example, wherever Xiao Lingyu went, someone would bring a stool over and sit her down.
In short, while there was some gossip around the village, most of the villagers felt sorry for Xiao Lingyu. After all, she might not be able to get married because of this child.
This was a completely different situation from her previous life.
Xiao Lingyu couldn’t help but exclaim, “When you’re weak, everyone wants to step on you. When you’re strong, who dares to say anything? This is the difference between weak and strong.”
Therefore, for the sake of Xiao Tong, she had to become stronger and stronger.

…
Anyway, Xiao Zhengyang didn’t agree for Xiao Lingyu to drive at night either. He said, “Yu ‘Er, listen to your mother. You should stay at home. Your fourth uncle and I will go.”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “How about this? I won’t drive. Fourth Uncle can drive, but I want to come along. I want to know how Xinxin was chased out by her boss. I want to seek justice for her.”
“Okay then.” Xiao Zhengyang did not object. After all, they had a place to stay in the county town.
After Xiao Zhengyang woke Xiao Mingyang up, Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Chengbang went over together. Xiao Lingyu’s father stayed at home.
After Xiao Lingye received a call from his mother, he immediately jumped up from the bed. He quickly put on his clothes, picked up his cell phone and keys, locked the door, and rode his tricycle to look for Xiao Xinxin. He knew this was not a matter that could be delayed.
A girl was stranded outside in the middle of the night. Who knew what could have happened to her.
Xiao Lingye called Xiao Xinxin and said, “Sister Xinxin, are you still at the entrance of Xin Hua Bookstore? Okay, I’ll be right there soon. Don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Lingye hung up the phone, stepped on the gas, and drove towards Xin Hua Road. It was late at night, and there was not a single person on the road.
Xiao Xinxin put down the cell phone in her hand. Other than the dim yellow lights on the roadside, the entire street was quiet. The empty night made her extremely afraid. She leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. She sat in the corner of the bookstore with her head tucked into her arms. She was afraid and uneasy.
Occasionally, whooshing sounds came from the street nearby. It reminded her of the biker gangs she saw on television.
For rural people, biker gangs were bad people. She was afraid that she would be discovered by these bad guys, so she hid in a corner.
She was unlucky because after a few motorcycles sped past, they suddenly turned back.
“I thought I was seeing things. It turns out there really is a woman hiding in this corner.”
A man took off his helmet. He was around twenty-six. His short crew-cut hair was dyed yellow.
Xiao Xinxin, who was hiding in a corner, saw four or five men approaching her. She immediately asked in fear and horror, “What are you doing? Don’t come any closer!”
“Oh, she is quite a beauty!” After they saw Xiao Xinxin clearly, one of them whistled. He teased Xiao Xinxin with a smile, “Pretty lady, why are you here alone in the middle of the night?” Then, he glanced at the luggage beside Xiao Xinxin and said, “Oh, did you run away from home? Come with us then, pretty lady. Big brother will take care of you.”
“What… what do you want?” Xiao Xinxin shrank and asked in fear.
“Nothing much. I just want you to be my woman. Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer,” said the yellow hair.
“I… I don’t want!” Xiao Xinxin refused.
“Why do you refuse us so soon?” said Huang Guanghui. “Come with Big Brothers. You won’t be disappointed.”
Then, he went to pull Xiao Xinxin.
Xiao Xinxin shouted in horror, “No! Help!” She staggered and tripped.
Those people ignored Xiao Xinxin. Instead, they had a sick pleasure from this.
“Haha…”
“That’s enough. You’re going to scare her. Lady, don’t worry. We’re not bad people.” The man with the yellow hair, Zeng Yaozu, moved to offer Xiao Xinxin his hand.
“No!” Xiao Xinxin slapped the man’s hand away in horror and shouted, “Help, Help!”
“…” Zeng Yaozu. He was really doing this out of kindness.
Just as he was about to explain, a loud roar was heard. “What are you doing?”
Xiao Lingye saw the few figures from afar. He sped up and rode over.
Xiao Xinxin heard the familiar voice and suddenly rushed out of the corner. She ran to Xiao Lingye’s side and shouted as she ran, “Xiao Lingye, save me!”
Zeng Yaozu frowned when he heard the name Xiao Lingye. He felt that the name sounded very familiar.
Then, he remembered where he had heard this name before.
It was from his sister.
His sister said that Xiao Lingye was a famous person in their school. He was good at his studies, was handsome, had a good temper, and was very gentle to everyone.
“Sister Xinxin, don’t be afraid!” Xiao Lingye shielded Xiao Xinxin behind him. When he saw the five young men in front of him, he asked loudly, “Who are you? I’m telling you, I’ve called the police. The police will be here soon!”
Zeng Yaozu narrowed his eyes and asked sharply, “Are you Xiao Lingye, the top student from No. 1 High School?”
The other four were speechless. ‘What is going on? Yaozu knew this boy?’
Xiao Lingye, ‘…’ Why does he know me? It doesn’t matter. I am not afraid of them.
He answered loudly, “Yes, that’s me. I’m Xiao Lingye. Come at me. What kind of man are you that you’d bully a girl?”
Zeng Yaozu, “…”
He felt so wronged.. He just wanted to be nice.
