Chapter 32 -32 She, Fearless!_1

An Jingxin sneered inwardly.

She had only spoken fiercely, not actually done anything, yet she became someone who didn’t care at all about the lives of the people in Jiuping Village, inciting public rage. They were really good at this, clearly trying to push her to her death.

However, if Ruo Lin Daqiang and the others still came to her and Xiao Changyi to demand the servitude contract money, she truly wouldn’t mind reporting them to the authorities.

Who said that she, having been here for only one day, had any feelings for this place at all? Did they expect her to care about everyone and sacrifice herself? She wasn’t that noble.

If this were her country, not to mention the whole village, even if it were to save one villager, she would have sacrificed herself without any complaints, but unfortunately, this wasn’t her country.

One could say that having been here for only a day, she felt no sense of belonging to any of it.

Of course, Xiao Changyi was an exception.

“You’re being gossiped about like this, it must be your mother and sister-in-law stirring things up behind the scenes; their tongues have always been sharp. You and Xiao Changyi refuse to give them the silver for the servitude contract, so they want to drown you with spit.” Aunt Liu Hua indignantly added.

An Jing had already guessed that it was Lin’s mother and the others doing it; besides them, no one else in Jiuping Village would have wished for her death.

But compared to Aunt Liu Hua’s indignation, An Jing was much more composed, even wearing a faint smile on her face.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu Hua glared at An Jing, “You really are easy-going, still able to smile at a time like this, aren’t you afraid of being drowned by spittle stars?”

“I’ve been laughed at a lot before, now I’ve let it go,” An Jing said. “Auntie, don’t worry, even the biggest spittle stars can’t drown me now.”

She, An Jing, had always been fearless!

“Sigh.” Thinking of how An Jing had been mocked for being barren due to not menstruating, Aunt Liu Hua let out a heavy sigh. After a long pause, she said, “You’ve changed, you’re completely different from before.”

An Jing remained unfazed, “Anyone pushed to my limits would change.”

“Yes,” Aunt Liu Hua sighed again, “Your parents are really too much. Enslaving you and beating you was bad enough, but in the end, they even sold you. No wonder you’ve become like this.”

Without waiting for An Jing to say anything, Aunt Liu Hua suddenly spoke again, in a negotiating tone, “An Jing, although your parents are no good, they did give birth to you, after all… Why don’t you and Xiao Changyi scrape together, give them those ten taels of silver? To save yourself from their random slanders?”

An Jing actually didn’t want to discuss this issue with anyone anymore; as far as she was concerned, everything had been settled the moment Lin Ming led Lin Daqiang and the others out of the courtyard.

But considering that Aunt Liu Hua truly had her best interests at heart, she showed no impatience.

An Jing looked at Aunt Liu Hua, “Aunt, not to mention that Brother Xiao and I can’t scrape together ten taels of silver, even if we could, I wouldn’t give them the money. They’ve truly chilled my heart; I wish they had never given birth to me.”

“What’s more,” An Jing’s expression suddenly turned stern, “the moment I picked up the firewood knife to take back my servitude contract, I wasn’t afraid of anything anymore. I’ve bent my back enough in the past; now, nobody can bully me!”

Aunt Liu Hua was a little shaken by the aura emanating from An Jing at that moment, stunned for a long time before she muttered, “But your reputation…”

What’s the use of a reputation?

An Jing really wanted to say this, but not wanting to unsettle Aunt Liu Hua, an ancient-minded person, she replied more tactfully, “I don’t care about it.”
