Chapter 11 The Scapegoat Chapter 11 The Scapegoat

Was she caught doing something bad?

But...what does Yang Cuihua mean by looking for Yang Xueqin?
She is not Yang Xueqin's daughter.

Qian Ruyu was complaining in her heart when Yang Cuihua came in aggressively, followed by her son Pangdun. Pangdun's round body was as dirty as a pig, with snot running down his nose, and he looked disgusting.

Zhao Bin followed behind with an expressionless face, his body also covered in dust, and he was holding a bundle of firewood in his hands. He pulled the sorghum stalks to the kitchen door as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Fatty's mom, what's wrong?" Yang Xueqin was naturally gentle and could not be tough with anyone.

Even in this situation, her tone remained gentle.

Yang Cuihua was very emotional. Her shoulders were shaking because she was too angry. "What's wrong? How did you discipline your son? How can he be so mean at such a young age?"

You can scold her, but she won’t listen if you scold her son.

Yang Xueqin looked unhappy, "Fatty Mom, how can you say that? Why is my son so mean?"

"What's wrong? I'll tell you today." Yang Cuihua angrily explained the whole story. "My family wanted to grind flour. The donkey was tied to a tree and the grain stood at the foot of the wall. You, a black-hearted son, secretly untied the donkey's reins. The donkey dug up the grain and ate most of it. The remaining corn and wheat were mixed together. How can we grind flour? That was our family's food supply for half a year. These bags of grain were to be eaten until the autumn harvest. Now it's all gone. Do you want to leave our family to starve?"

Yang Cuihua didn't give Yang Xueqin a chance to speak, and she kept talking like firecrackers. "Pang Dun went to argue with your son, and he pushed Pang Dun to the ground and beat him. Pang Dun's back was scratched. How did you educate him? He is really a bastard who is left unattended. You have to compensate us for the food in our family, otherwise there will be no end."

Hearing this, Qian Ruyu touched her nose embarrassedly. She didn't expect that Zhao Bin would become the scapegoat because of her mischief.

Yang Xueqin frowned, "Is there some misunderstanding? My Xiaobin would never do such a wicked thing."

Qian Ruyu, who was standing by, blushed, "..."

She is the one who is wicked!

"What misunderstanding? Fatty saw it. He was the only one passing by my house. Who else could it be but him?" Yang Cuihua was determined to put the blame on Zhao Bin.

Someone must compensate for the food!
"Zhao Bin, what's going on?" Yang Xueqin asked.

Zhao Bin had a gloomy face and remained silent, his eyes glaring at Qian Ruyu viciously.

Qian Ruyu felt like a thorn in her side and when she turned around, her eyes met his.

She was frightened by Zhao Bin's murderous look!
Would he find out that she was the one who did it?
Then...why didn't he sell her out to clear himself of suspicion?

Zhao Bin kept his head down in silence, his eyes could kill people. He didn't defend himself, but Yang Cuihua kept blaming Zhao Bin, making his words sound convincing.

Yang Xueqin's heart was tilted. When she heard that she had to pay for the food, she was so anxious that she wanted to beat Zhao Bin, "You kid, why are you so ignorant? How did I teach you? Don't cause trouble when you go out, why don't you know how to be obedient?"
