Chapter 139: Bai Family ancestral home Part 2

The people who heard this immediately understand, isn't this the orphans from 2 years ago? They only heard the story before, but never directly ask to both side. Seems like the relationship is worse than they thought.

"If we don't ignore your unilateral insult, then should we have fight you back like some thugs?" Bai Yu Jing said with a smirk.

"Bai Yu Jing! Our relationship was fine before, but you wanted to cross with me because of these ungrateful bunch?" The 4th daughter said.

"I don't dare to have a good relationship with you..I may not know when I am get cheated on, or suddenly got insulted." Bai Yu Jing said.

"You..!" The 4th daughter clenched her fist, ready to fight.

"What is going on?" Grandpa Bai or his full name Bai Chang Yan come over with the rest of his family members. Rather than wanting to solve the problem, he wanted to intimidate the Bai siblings and Bai Yu Jing with numbers, they have more people so they won't stand a chance, this is his meaning.

Actually, every member of the first branch was a bit shocked when they saw the passed 3rd son's children who is standing with Bai Yu Jing, if not, how can they reacted this late? The 5 siblings has grown up, they look too different compared to 2 years ago. What more, they look even more imposing then the grandchildren in their family.

Everyone can see right away who will be better if the were to stand side to side. Don't say about look, even their composure beat the other children. Even with this much people from first branch, the siblings doesn't look timid and intimidated, is this the same children from 2 years ago?

"Dad, you see. After breaking off from our branch and being rude to you and mom, they still dare to come here." The 4th daughter said as she stand next to her father to ask for support.

"What is going on here, Bai Chang Yan, you explain properly." Because of the commotion, the Head of the family also step forward. Today is the big family reunion, of course he is not entirely clueless about this matter with this branch, it's just that it's difficult to pick a side. But since everyone is already alerted, he also cannot stay quiet at the side.

"Right, you explain it here and settle the matter. Your branch matter, aren't they settled 2 years ago? Why is your daughter bringing this out again?" Another elder step forward, he said this in an unfriendly tone. He is one of the people who heard the 4th daughter looking for trouble first, so he thinks that this branch is purposely causing trouble in a big family event like this, so unreasonable. Just because she married high, she became arrogant.

"Bai Chang Yan, the case two years ago, did your family really wronged the children? If yes then you all should apologise inside of keep harassing them ah." An elderly lady said this. She is someone that is on the children side. Children is honest, they won't lie, but adult will. What more when it comes to family that hide behind the so-called good reputation like Bai Chang Yan.

Bai Chang Yan saw this progression and give a warning look at his daughter next to him. Her 4th daughter problem is that she has a big temper and like to follow her emotion without thinking, she also cannot hid her arrogance.

"Family head, elders, it's all a misunderstanding, misunderstanding. My 4th daughter is just being sensitive when her nieces and nephews didn't greet her." Even his first sentence is already derogatory towards the children. Bai Yi Yang sigh inside at this, she really lose hope towards this sibling's grandfather. Bai Yi Chen smile softly at her and pat her shoulder as if understanding her inner thought.

"As for the things 2 years ago, these children were young at that time, they were naughty and my 2nd son just teach them in place of their parents, there is no such thing as what said in the rumours. You know how parents teach their children, just like that. It was all because of care towards the children ah." Now, he tried to justified the abusive actions of his 2nd son, meaning that parents also hit their children if they are naughty sometimes, so the case two years ago is just an exaggeration.

"Because of that matter, they leave the family and it is also true that we already break relation as they wish not long ago, they are in my late second brother's branch now." Bai Chang Yang said with a sigh, as if he also regret it that their family become like this.

"You know it's not good to remove children from the family without strong reason. What more they are orphans that need adult to take care of them. What is the reason?" The family head said. Nowadays, these things doesn't need his approval anymore, each family is independent, but since he heard about this matter today, he must say something, if not, people my think that he didn't fulfil his responsibility as the family head.

"Dad, you didn't explain clearly. Family head, its like this, this eldest girl frame her own cousin sister and almost got her expelled from school. It was also them who ask to break the relation after this matter. Really a bunch of ungrateful kids!" The 2nd Bai or the 2nd paternal uncle said with a humphed, glaring at the children who almost ruin his career 2 years ago.

The people is divided after hearing the story from Bai Chang Yan side. This branch has many capable and educated people, they won't stoop low to frame this children, right? Maybe, what happened 2 years ago is really the children exaggerating and this children is really the one with problem, that's why they are hit. Bai Chang Yan is not wrong, they also sometimes hit their children, of course not to the extent of causing injury.

"Waaa…waaa…hurt…jiejie…it's hurt..I am scared of second uncle…don't let him hurt me.." In the midst of murmur from the people, Bai Yi Fang suddenly cried and hug her sister, her body is trembling as if she is in a great fear towards the people in front of her.

The 2nd son face paled when he saw this. He look around and saw people pointing finger at him, he immediately feels like beating these bunch of orphans on the spot.

"Second uncle…please…please don't hit me…I beg you..I won't eat from now on, I will only drink tap water..I will clean the garage too..so please don't hit me and my sisters.." Bai Yi Mo who was fine a while ago suddenly has terrified face as she tremble in front of 2nd son. He has tears running down her terrified face as he mumbled this words

The people who saw this got shocked. These children is too terrified that until now they still have trauma when they heard the 2nd son shout. Isn't this clear as a day? The 2nd son must've really abused this children. They look at the pitiful children and then look disgustingly at the shameless middle aged man.

"Bastard!! You dare act in front of people. Shut up!" 2nd son was enraged, if not because he is stopped by his father and elder brother, he would have really come forward and slap the children until they realise their mistakes.

"Waaa…waa…" The two children cried even louder. Now even Bai Yu Jing pull them into her arms to coax them and glare at the 2nd son. Bai Yi Yang knows that the two children is acting, but Bai Yi Ling is truly angry now, so she hug Bai Yi Ling and softly caress her back to calm her frantic breathing.

"Bai Chang Yan, control your son!" The family head shout when seeing this scene.

"The temper is too bad. Seeing it now, he really must've abused his deceased brother children. The children is terrified even with the sight of him, what do you think? This is really a serious case, if I were Bai Chang Yan, I will not shield a son that do this to my grandchildren. Tsk, tsk." The people whisper to each other.

Because of this, some kind women bring the three children away from that place. They were glaring daggers at Bai Chang Yan family when they do this. No matter what, the children must be appeased first.

"We are not liar. For your information, that year, a doctor was called over and he confirmed that my three younger siblings are abused, they have bruises all over the body which is inflicted on different times. Some of the bruises haven't healed but some new one already appeared. My siblings was malnourished and not given proper food." Bai Yi Yang said her words clearly. At times like this, being calm is the most important.

The crowd gasp when they heard this, pulling their children closer towards them as they look at the 2nd son who is sitting now, being calmed down by his family. It must have been hell for the orphans at that time.

"Not only everyone from our family branch now the real truth, even the neighbours in that area knows the truth. Since we are family, we didn't seek the authority. This is because no matter what, we share the same blood and when our parents were alive, we have good relationship. We decided to forget about it and leave City Bei to start a new life. But..I didn't know that all of you are this shameless, pinning that incident as a way of accusing us siblings as being rude and ill mannered. What a bunch of manipulative adult ah, I really have seen the world now." Bai Yi Yang laugh sarcastically as she look at everyone in the eyes. The branch member feels like they have been seen through and didn't dare to meet Bai Yi Yang eyes directly.

"Where is your evidence? Don't accuse people of something that is not true casually. This will ruin our family name." The eldest son bravely step forward. He is a teacher, he cannot let his second brother past matter continue following them. Child abuse is not a small thing, what more they all covered up the case instead of reporting it. Not only his second brother, all adults in their branch may get affected too.

"Eldest son of the first branch. Did you forget? It was you who suggest that we destroy the medical report after we come to an agreement not to report to the police. We watch the medical report burn, remember? This matter, it should have settled long time ago, but your family from old to young keep bringing this up, me and my siblings feels very helpless. So I can only bring this up too." Bai Yi Yang sigh helplessly.

"The whole family is ruthless. They cheat the children to destroy the evidence, now they pretend that the thing never exist." People whisper again.

"You..you are saying baseless accusation without evidence again. This is clearly trying to ruin the family name." The eldest son said, still talking about evidence. This is also true, no matter what people say, as long as they don't admit it and there is no evidence, nothing can be done.

"Eldest son is right, my words doesn't mean anything." Bai Yi Yang nod, as if she also realise his words is reasonable.

"Why don't we do this, since we are all here, let's all go to the police station and reopen the case, let the investigation start again. The written evidence is gone, but the neighbour should still be there, there is also the school guard and teachers who know about the matter. Maybe the police can get statements from these people and give justice to my little siblings. These days, there are news of children abuse everywhere, so I am sure our report won't be ignored. Family head, let's do this bah." Bai Yi Yang said to the family head and the crowd.

The crowd look at each other and nod, since both side doesn't want to lose, this is a way to settle this. If the children is really abused, which the probability is really high, then they are really wronged by their own branch elder. What more, this branch is really a bit hateful, they are really manipulative and still pretend to be innocent.

"No!" Bai Chang Yan and his eldest son said immediately.

The first branch immediately paled. Up to this day, people in their area still remember that things, if it really gets reinvestigated, even if there is no strong evidence, the community will look down on them. What more, the things happened two years ago is really true. They all work for the government, what if people from their workplace heard this, they may lose their job ah.

It's not only the first branch who thinks like this, the family head also panic, this matter is a big matter, he is the family head and he didn't report a big case like this, he may get criticised. The reaction of Bai Chang Yan branch is evident, the 2nd son must have abused the children for real. To save their reputation, they start telling people stories that the children is naughty and rude, the hitting is just a way of teaching children, from an elder to a younger generation and not a child abuse case. People can guess the truth from this exchange, if it weren't a serious case, then why does Bai Chang Yan's branch need to panic that much when the authorities is brought up?

"This matter really shouldn't have been brought out again. That year, who is wrong and who is right is already determined, your family shouldn't go around saying things that ruin this siblings reputation anymore when it is your family who wronged them. This matter should ends here and cannot be brought out again." The family head conclude.

"Then, we will do as family head said. Thank you everyone for listening to the explanation and seeing the truth for us siblings." Bai Yi Yang bow to the family head and the crowd.

"These kids are too nice.."

"No matter what, they still think about their family…unlike this shameless adult.."

"Bai Chang Yan really lose these good children ah.."

About this matter, Bai Yi Yang also doesn't want to bring out. Her siblings had moved on from that, its just that the first branch is too annoying, that's why she wanted to tear of their face in front of the big family. She is not a fool, even if the investigation is reopened, them siblings will probably lose because there really is no strong evidence, but the process will hurt the first branch more, their name will be smeared and their façade will be unveiled. As for them, they are in City Nan now, it won't really affect them. Her aim was just to make the Bai family confirmed it to these people that they really did the siblings wrong that year.
