The authorities didn't force them to do anything. Furthermore, after the incident, the two old men weren't afraid of any negative impact or consequences for the village. They directly sent the person to the police station.

He's been working in the countryside for several years and knows a lot of things.

If something like this happened in another village, they would try to cover it up completely and resolve it internally.

After all, with something like this happening, the village will certainly lose its status as an advanced village and its reputation will be greatly affected.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wei recalled her parents occasionally mentioning things about their hometown and realized that what he said made sense.

"Hmm, that's quite possible..."

The elders looked at each other in bewilderment. Were the village leaders here really this fierce?

Yeah, that's really how fierce he is!

After hearing what Bai Yajing said, the village chief and team leader felt their back teeth itch.

"Ha! We're so old, and we still got fooled by a little brat!"

The captain rolled his eyes at him. "You can't judge a book by its cover. That little girl rarely shows up in front of us. How could I possibly keep an eye on her?"

Bai Yajing chuckled, "Grandpa Village Chief, it's not your fault. You've done a great job of investigating and taking the person to the police station so quickly!"

Other villages don't have this kind of courage! We need to get rid of this troublemaker as soon as possible.

"Single young men in the village can't afford to be cuckolded!"

Sigh! If we could find evidence that she was the mastermind, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble!

The educated youth Ma didn't say it before, and probably won't say it now either, since there's a natural, implicit antagonism between the village and the educated youth.

He is very unlikely to testify regarding the collective honor of the educated youth. After all, if he did, he would be unable to stay in the educated youth settlement, and the others would ostracize him.

Both old men were aware of this, so they did not suggest having Ma Zhiqing testify so that people could be arrested.

The captain stroked his beard, looking calm and unhurried.

“There are only a few idiots in the village. I’ll go back and have your grandma talk to their mother and tell her to keep a close eye on them.”

The village chief tapped his pipe and said, "Well, we should also talk to the other single young men. One should always be wary of others."

As for those educated youth? We don't need to worry about that Ma educated youth. The other three are also cunning and won't act until they see a clear benefit, so we don't need to worry about them.

Well, that big guy Zhao is a bit simple-minded, Nannan, keep an eye on him.

"Once the girl's belly gets too big to hide, the problem will naturally be solved."

It's almost time, and they won't proactively report others to avoid getting their hands dirty.

But if she can't hide it herself, then it's none of their business.

"Hmm, it's about time! Wang Jun has been gone for more than two months."

Bai Yajing knew it was almost time once she calculated the days. Although it was cold now and she could hide her protruding belly by wearing more clothes, the female educated youths living with her were not stupid or blind. They might not necessarily cover it up for her. If they were really stupid enough to cover it up for her, then the risk would be too great!

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on things when I get back. I'll leave the village to you."

The two old men waved their hands to indicate that they understood.

Having resolved the matter, she went home feeling relieved.

And just as they guessed, Zhang Zhiqing did not give up.

Furthermore, she also set her sights on Zhao Liang, so it's not surprising that she would make this choice.

Zhao Liang is from Kyoto. He's tall and imposing, and although he's a bit dull and not her type, his family is well-off, and he's even moved out now. If she succeeds, she can move into the Bai family compound...

She had a good plan. This time, she wouldn't bother asking if the couple was willing. She planned to take advantage of the young couple's wedding night, when Zhao Liang would still be staying at the educated youth settlement, to stir up some trouble...
