Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Crying Foolishly

Chiang Xiao was simply at a loss for words.

Is this what they call a life-saving debt?

"At that time, my whole body was scraped and bleeding, and the injuries were not minor. But my big brother said, if he hadn’t dragged me to run, I would have been eaten by that big cat long ago, so it was he who saved my life."

Chiang Songtao also didn’t let him tell their parents or others about the detailed situation at the time, just saying that they accidentally ran into a tiger, he ran fast, and dragged him along, and that’s how he saved his life.

As for the abrasions all over his body, it was because he was too clumsy and dumb, falling over and over as they ran. If it weren’t for his brother’s support and pulling, he would have fallen into the tiger’s mouth long ago.

Chiang Songhai had also never spoken the truth about that incident.

The more the life-saving grace was talked about, the more Chiang Songtao believed it to be true.

"Grandpa, you are just silly," Chiang Xiao concluded.

Chiang Songhai gave a wry smile.

Wasn’t he just being silly?

All these years, it had really been enough.

"What happened later?"

"It’s also because of that incident back then that the villagers became even more frightened of Bai Gu Mountain, knowing there were wild animals, big cats. Your great-uncle also never dared to go up the mountain since then. But as for me, I thought since I had been there once, the worst-case scenario was just not to run that far again. Moreover, that big cat didn’t chase after us then, so I figured as long as we didn’t venture into its territory, we would be fine, and thus I’ve been going up the mountain from time to time over all these years. Indeed, no accidents have happened."

So that’s how it was.

No wonder he always warned her not to go deep into the mountains.

"Grandpa, today we really fell out with great-uncle, what do you plan to do from now on?" Chiang Xiao asked.

Chiang Songhai took another sip of Ganoderma water, and at first his eyes looked a little lost, but after a while, he cleared his mind and said to Chiang Xiao, "Don’t worry, over these years, we haven’t relied on them for anything. From now on, let’s just live our own lives and not bother with them. If you want to go up the mountain with your great-uncle and your aunt’s father in the future, just go. Your grandma and I will stay at home, do something else. If you find any mountain goods, we’ll stay home and help pick and choose, dry them."

Ge Liutao said, "I’ve heard your grandaunt mention that she and Xiao Tong are making handkerchiefs. I want to try doing it too, to earn some money, whatever the amount."

Chiang Xiao started to smile, "Great! Let me talk about my plan too. Once this semester ends, I want to go to town for school. At that time, I intend to apply for skipping a grade, directly entering the ninth grade. Moreover, let’s move to the town and not live in Siyang Village anymore. If we still want to go up the mountain in the future, we can just go directly without entering the village."

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were stunned.

Firstly, because she actually wanted to skip a grade but also move to the town to live.

The two couldn’t help but ask at the same time.

"Can you really skip a grade?"

"Where will we live if we move to town?"

Chiang Xiao pulled over a stool, ready to discuss the future plans with them in detail.

Meanwhile, next door there was a complete commotion.

As soon as he got home, Chiang Songtao couldn’t help but yell at Ho Laidi in anger, "What the hell were you doing? You locked the door and beat that girl for so long, and you solved nothing?"

Ho Laidi was already feeling aggrieved and, being blamed like this, she suddenly burst into tears, crying and cursing while slapping her thigh.

"Dad, you’re piercing my heart! I was almost beaten to death by Chiang Xiao, that damned girl, inside, and none of you came in to lend a hand! And now you blame me?"

Chiang Songtao was shocked, "How is it Chiang Xiao beating you? She dares to hit you? Wasn’t it you who beat her until she cried out?"

"Why wouldn’t she dare to hit me? She tied me up and beat me quite severely! That damned girl was faking it! She hit me and was the one making all the noise herself!"
