He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...
200
After learning about Qi Shuli's actions, He Tiantian couldn't help but sigh once again, "Old ginger is spicier."
If she hadn't listened to Grandma Qi and hadn't let Qi Xiaoyan come and be with her, she would have been stuck with this unpleasant situation.
If she doesn't heed Secretary Qi's advice and insists on filing a complaint, even if Secretary Qi doesn't stop her, he and the people of Qijia Village will still hold a grudge against her, thinking that her willful behavior has brought shame to Qijia Village.
As the village party secretary of Qijia Village, Secretary Qi was disgraced.
He Tiantian felt guilty for scheming against Qi Xiaoyan this time, but she didn't regret it and would make it up to Qi Xiaoyan in the future.
However, if she doesn't go all out this time, after breaking ties with Qi Jianguo, a series of unsettling events will follow for He Tiantian.
Grandma Qi is right. Since we've already gone this far, there's no need to leave any room for maneuver.
The next morning, Grandma Qi got up as usual, her face serene.
She has done what she was supposed to do; the rest is up to He Tiantian herself.
He Tiantian made breakfast, and she ate with Qi Xiaoyan and several other educated youths. Then they went to find Secretary Qi and went to the commune to file a complaint.
He Tiantian has her own paper and pen, and she wrote a complaint last night.
Qi Xiaoyan also wrote a letter, vowing to stand with He Tiantian and make sure that scumbag Qi Jianguo goes to jail.
Secretary Qi instructed Qi Ergou to prepare an oxcart so they could go to the county commune together.
Liang Hongyu and Zhao Dajiao followed.
It was already noon when we arrived in the county town. We had lunch together and then went directly to the police station.
The Spring Festival had just passed, and the police station was quite quiet. Upon seeing the lawsuit filed by He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan, they immediately opened a case and began sending people to investigate, taking statements from He Tiantian, Qi Xiaoyan, the villagers who had already arrived, and the educated youth.
By the time all these things were finished, it was already dark.
With so many people, and none of them having obtained proper documentation today, they can't stay at the guesthouse. They have to ask Niu Dajun and Niu Lili for help to find a place to stay.
When Niu Lili heard about He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan's experiences, she was filled with righteous indignation and immediately promised to find connections for them.
Niu Lili's biggest backer is Niu Peng!
Niu Lili wanted to ask He Tiantian about Qi Rongjun several times, but considering that He Tiantian had almost been harmed, it wasn't the time to talk about such sentimental matters. Anyway, there was plenty of time; she could ask later.
Niu Dajun had already found a place for everyone to rest, and He Tiantian was the last to leave.
"Sister Lili, you have to help me!" He Tiantian choked up. She hadn't cried since last night, but in order to gain Niu Lili's sympathy and get Niu Peng's help, she was going all out.
He Tiantian wasn't faking her tears; she was genuinely heartbroken.
“Sweetie, since you call me sister, I can’t not help you,” Niu Lili said. “Last time, Qi Jianguo reported you, but it didn’t work out. He’s still not giving up. If we don’t beat him up this time, he’ll be even more troublesome in the future.”
“Yes, last time we didn’t have any evidence, so we couldn’t do anything to him. If he had turned over a new leaf, I wouldn’t have bothered with him. But he’s always hanging around in front of me, saying those disgusting things. I didn’t agree to his pursuit, and he resorted to such despicable means.” He Tiantian said, crying, “People like that are so hateful.”
“You’re right, people like that are the most disgusting,” Niu Lili said. “Don’t cry, evil people will definitely be punished.”
He Tiantian wiped away her tears, nodded, and said, "I believe there is still justice in the world."
"Qi Jianguo was caught red-handed, and so many people saw and testified. He can't escape the charge of attempted rape; he'll get at least three years in prison," Niu Lili comforted him. "Being pretty attracts unwanted attention, and if someone doesn't agree, they resort to force."
Niu Lili stayed with He Tiantian, while Qi Xiaoyan stayed in the hotel dormitory.
That night, the three of them, united in their hatred, denounced Qi Jianguo's crimes.
The next day, Secretary Qi and his entourage went home.
As for Qi Jianguo, the police couldn't take his statement at the hospital as he was still unconscious. However, they were thorough; they took Qi Jianguo's clothes from the previous day directly from the hospital and sealed them off.
Since they couldn't take a statement, the police officers from the local police station could only go to Qijia Village to investigate first.
However, to ensure fairness, they could not travel with Secretary Qi, but instead arrived at Qijia Village a little later than him.
The police officers at these local stations found useful information in just one day.
They also went to Grandma Qi's house to conduct on-site reconnaissance.
Even though many people came last night, they all entered through the main gate, not by climbing over the wall. So the police were able to find traces of climbing over the wall, including a piece of cloth. The police, wearing gloves, collected the cloth and other valid evidence.
This piece of fabric is from the clothes that Qi Jianguo took off.
The situation is clear: Qi Jianguo was guilty of attempted rape.
After they finished their investigation, they left.
He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan were frightened, and Secretary Qi told them to rest at home.
Several educated youths returned home one after another; they were quite tired.
After everyone left, Grandma Qi San brought in a bowl of brown sugar and eggs and said, "Sweetie, eat some quickly to nourish your body."
He Tiantian sat up in bed and said gratefully, "Grandma, you should eat too. You can't give me all the good stuff."
"There's still one left in the pot!" Grandma Qi smiled. "Eat it quickly, you need to be healthy to deal with what's coming next. Qi Jianguo will probably go to jail, but his family won't. They probably won't let you off the hook later. But don't worry, there's still law in this world. As long as you're careful and don't go alone, you should be fine."
He Tiantian brought it over and ate it. She knew that Grandma Qi loved her and herself. If she said there was something in the pot, then there must be something.
Seeing that He Tiantian had eaten, Grandma Qi also scooped some out of the pot and ate some herself.
After lying down, He Tiantian felt a little scared, but also inexplicably excited.
"Gurgle gurgle meow..." He Tiantian summoned the Snake King, "Snake King, thank you very much this time."
The Snake King has not been cultivating these past few days, as he has been keeping a close eye on the situation outside.
He Tiantian's resolute reaction was unexpected, and at the same time, it gave her a profound understanding of Grandma Qi, the person who instigated this incident.
Old but still strong!
That's exactly the kind of person I'm talking about!
"No need to thank me, I also find that scum unpleasant to look at," said the Snake King. He Tiantian must remain a virgin to keep the holy blood on her body clean.
If he were corrupted by a despicable person like Qi Jianguo, the Snake King would not punish him so simply.
There was only one outcome awaiting Qi Jianguo: death! Death! Death!
"I hope this time we can send Qi Jianguo to jail," He Tiantian said. She knew that Qi Shuli had been busy bribing officials and didn't want Qi Jianguo to be sent to prison.
However, as long as He Tiantian goes and Qi Xiaoyan doesn't budge, Qi Jianguo's charges will not be dropped. (To be continued.)
