"Mom, who is it?" Xiao Lingyu asked in confusion.

"It's Xiao Jun's mother. Xiao Jun just got discharged from the hospital today, and Chen Guihua wants you to drive them back to the village. Hmph, why should we? Who are they?"

Xiao Lingyu, "..." These people are too conceited.

She was not their chauffeur. She had already sent them to the hospital! Xiao Lingyu nodded. "I'm not going to pick them up. Let them come back on their own. If they want me to pick them up, the gas and labor fees will be at least 80 RMB. They have to pay!

"That's right!" Mother Xiao also agreed.

Their family did have a car. Xiao Lingyu already helped when she offered to drive them to the hospital. However, how could these people demand Xiao Lingyu drive them back after they were well?

Then, Mother Xiao made another call back to the woman.

...

After two days of hospitalization, the doctor confirmed that Xiao Jun was safe, and he could go home. As he went through the discharge procedure, his mother said she had to go look for someone and a ride home.

Soon, Chen Guihua ran back angrily. Her husband, Xiao Chengcai, asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why are you so angry?"

Chen Guihua said angrily, "It's Chen Qiuying. I asked her to have Xiao Lingyu come and pick us up, but she refused. She said that Xiao Lingyu is not feeling well.

"But then, she called back and said she could pick us up for 80 RMB! How can they be so stingy? How much petrol can a trip cost? She is clearly trying to scam us!" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "So what if her family has a car? What's so great about that? If not for Jun 'Er, we don't even need her. We are giving her face to ask Xiao Lingyu to pick us up. After all, she is now a ruined woman. Who would befriend her anymore?"

However, there was a hint of jealousy in her tone.

Xiao Chengcai and Xiao Jun, "..."

Xiao Chengcai's face darkened as he sternly shouted, "Shush! Do you think Xiao Lingyu owe you? How can you talk about her like this? Chen Guihua, I'm telling you now. You will never repeat this in Taoyuan Village. Do you think it'll help us if Xiao Lingyu's family heard about this?"

Xiao Jun also added, "Mom, Sister Lingyu is already kind enough to send us to the hospital. It's not her duty to drive us around. She didn't even charge us for gas and helped us with the hospitalization procedures. She has helped us a lot. We should be grateful and not hold a grudge. Otherwise, who is going to help us if something else happens to us in the future?"

"Shush, what is going to happen to us?" Chen?Guihua immediately said.

"Good things can happen to us too!" Xiao Chengcai said with a dark face. "When Jun 'Er gets married, don't you need Chen Qiuying to help cook too?" Xiao Chengcai had a headache dealing with his shallow-minded wife. However, for his son, he couldn't let her provoke Xiao Lingyu's family.

So what if Xiao Lingyu was raped? Times had changed. People could cohabitate before marriage. Virginity was not that important for marriage anymore. People had pre-marital sex often. The difference was Xiao Lingyu didn't know the man she slept with.

Even so, Xiao Lingyu was still a famous university graduate, she had worked in a big city, and she had powerful friends. Xiao Lingyu was important for the road to Taoyuan Village to get fixed. The person who fixed the road was Xiao Lingyu's friend. Taoyuan Village needed the Xiao Family more than the other way round!
