Chapter 29 -29: Take it step by step
They reenacted the events of that evening.
The request was simple enough to understand, but doing it was far from easy.
For starters, Ding Dani refused point-blank.
“Chiang Xiao, do you really want to rip another one of my dresses? You have such a black heart!”
“No, no, no, this time it’ll be you tearing my dress, how about that?” Chiang Xiao looked at her, her expression faint, only her large, bright eyes gleaming as if still holding starlight.
Yao Cong, watching Chiang Xiao like this, felt a ticklish sensation in his heart.
Everyone said she was the prettiest girl in the village, and indeed she was.
It was a pity she was still too young; a girl ought to be at least eighteen before she could marry and have children. He was already twenty, and if he waited for her, it would be another five years. By then, he’d be twenty-five, and his parents would certainly not agree. Besides, he wouldn’t be able to endure so many years without a wife.
What a pity, truly a pity.
Chiang Xiao had no idea that in this brief moment, Yao Cong had entertained such a thought.
“You and your mother insist that Ji Desheng and I had a secret rendezvous there. I’m still young and don’t understand what a rendezvous entails, but if you want my family to compensate, you must at least let my grandparents understand the matter clearly. Otherwise, just because you show up at my door with a hoe, you could extort seventy or eighty yuan, and if the villagers followed suit, who knows what the village’s morals would turn into? Although Siyang Village is poor, under the leadership of Secretary Uncle, it is still a place of compassion, propriety, courtesy, and love of family and friends.”
Chiang Xiao looked towards Secretary Yao and asked, “Secretary Uncle, am I right?”
Secretary Yao nodded eagerly, “Exactly, those are the values! Just do as Chiang Family’s Young Lady says! I won’t just listen to one side; we must clarify the matters. If the Chiang Family is truly at fault, you won’t need to tell me; I, Yao Jubin, will make them compensate.”
So, were they really going to reenact the case!
Ding Dani stared at Chiang Xiao with wide eyes, as if she didn’t recognize her.
Since when could Chiang Xiao speak such a lengthy speech? Even on the day when she had pushed and questioned her, Chiang Xiao couldn’t even muster a complete sentence!
Song Xiyun also watched Chiang Xiao and whispered to her mother-in-law, Ho Laidi, “Mom, see, I told you, didn’t I? Little Xiao has changed!”
“She has changed, our house is right next door. If this girl turns into a calamity, our family won’t escape its effects. Let’s wait and see if anything is wrong; if there is, I’ll call in the Fairy.” A gloomy flash crossed Ho Laidi’s eyes; she was very superstitious.
A group of people made their way to the Nameless Creek behind the village.
The place wasn’t far per se, separated by a stretch of dry land, and after crossing a patch of wild woods, the continuous mountains came into view. The nearest was Bai Gu Mountain, tall and covered with dense forests, very steep, with a small creek winding below. The creek’s banks rose over one meter high, the stream itself at least two meters wide, but the water was deep, making it resemble more of a river.
Because of the legends surrounding Bai Gu Mountain and Nameless Creek, the people subconsciously felt a chill about the place.
Ho Laidi and Song Xiyun came along too but didn’t dare to get too close.
Their group also attracted many villagers, those courageous enough also came to witness the excitement, uncertain of what was intended.
Upon arrival, Chiang Xiao looked around. Being here made her memory even clearer, and she could remember every detail of what had transpired that day.
She approached Yao Cong.

“Yao Cong Brother, would you mind playing the role of Ji Desheng?”
Though Yao Cong regretted her being too young to be his wife, he couldn’t help but feel affection when he looked at her fair, pretty face and sparkling eyes.
“Sure.”
“Then please stand over there.” Chiang Xiao pointed to a spot and said, “Look, there should still be a stone there.”
