Chapter 052 Gu Weidong's Revenge

"You also took someone else's jade pendant?"

Wu Yongbing really didn't know about this.

The main thing is that the jade pendant was given to Wu Yueying by Miao Cuilan alone after they got engaged.

Considering the preciousness of the jade pendant, she did not give it to the other members of the Wu family, for fear that the two daughters-in-law of the Wu family might get attached to it.

When they heard Gu Weidong mention it, everyone in the Wu family looked confused, and it was obvious that they didn't know about the jade pendant.

Wu Yueying originally wanted to make an excuse by saying that the jade pendant had been confiscated, but she had no idea that Gu Weidong had seen through her intention in advance and directly blocked her mouth, leaving her with no excuses.

"If you refuse to return it, I don't mind asking the police station to come and coordinate the matter. I think no matter where we go, we will be in the right. The captain's family should be reasonable people, so they won't make things difficult for us, right?"

Gu Weidong's tone was light, but the threat in his voice was not too obvious.

Before Wu Yueying even opened her mouth, Wu Yongbing got angry and turned around to glare at his daughter angrily:

"Just give up if I tell you to. Why are you still hesitating? If you don't want to marry someone, why are you accepting their things? It's embarrassing for you, but I am!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wu Yueying lowered her head with a grim expression. She hated Gu Weidong to the extreme. After a long while, she spoke in a mosquito-like voice:

"The jade pendant is not with me. I, I sold it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was suddenly shocked.

Especially Wu Yongbing, he simply couldn't believe what he heard.

"What did you say? Sold it? Who did you sell it to? Are you crazy? It was a relic left by someone's grandfather, and you sold it without saying anything. Do you have any brains?"

Wu Yongbing was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He always thought that he had lived an upright life. No matter he was a militiaman fighting in the battlefield or working in the fields, he had never done anything dishonest. Who would have known that the good reputation he had built up all his life would be completely ruined today by Wu Yueying, this unfilial daughter!

The Gu family was also furious.

The look in Miao Cuilan's eyes at this moment when she looked at Wu Yueying was simply like stabbing her with a knife. The other people in the Gu family also had angry expressions on their faces. They had never expected that Wu Yueying would be so shameless in doing things.

The elderly people from the villages who came with them all had indescribable expressions for a while, especially Grandma Zou. She and Grandpa Gu were old neighbors and old friends. When she returned to the Northeast from the war-torn Shanghai, it was Grandpa Gu who personally went south to bring her back to Kaoshantun. Grandma Zou will remember this friendship all her life.

"Girl of the Wu family, that jade pendant was the most precious thing to Gu Qingping during his lifetime. You just casually said you sold it and want to move on from it. Not only will the Gu family not agree to this, but even an old woman like me will not agree to it."

"Where did you sell it, who did you sell it to, and how much did you sell it for? You must explain every detail clearly!"

Wu Yueying knew that once the arrow is shot, it cannot be retrieved. She was a bit reckless at this moment and said with her neck stiff:

"The things they gave me are mine. They didn't say I couldn't sell them. I had no money, so I happened to meet a peddler when I was rushing to buy things, so I sold them to him."

"I don't know that peddler either. It's been so long that I don't remember what he looks like. I've spent all my money. If you want compensation, just tell me how much it is. At worst, I can write you an IOU and pay you back when I make money later!"

Gu Weidong was not surprised at the answer given by Wu Yueying. After so many years, this woman's selfish, stupid and vicious nature has never changed. Even if she had the chance to do it all over again, she would still refuse to repent. Did she really think that everyone in the world had to get used to her?

Gu Weidong laughed angrily. He was too lazy to waste time talking to Wu Yueying. He turned around and said to Gu Weibei behind him:

"Xiaobei, go to the police station in town and tell them that we have a case. Someone has sold our heirloom. I don't know if this counts as theft. Ask the police to come to the village."

At this point, Gu Weidong looked at Wu Yueying with a half-smile, and said meaningfully,

"It just so happened that I heard someone say yesterday that there is a young scholar named Jian from Jicheng in our village, and he also seems to have brought a family heirloom jade pendant."

"When the police station comrades come, I will ask them to ask, and I will also take a look to see if these heirloom jade pendants all look the same. I also wonder if the jade pendant in the home of the educated youth Jian has also been registered with the Revolutionary Committee."

"If it's not registered, it would be considered as the possession of prohibited items. The tail of feudal old culture and old ideas has not been completely cut off."

Wu Yueying's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at Gu Weidong in shock and fear.

She never thought that Gu Weidong would guess the whereabouts of the jade pendant at once and even let the police station check on Jian Ming. If Jian Ming was really arrested by the police, the matter of the jade pendant would be exposed, and Jian Ming would have no way to explain himself. If he had a criminal record, he would have no chance of attending the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

Wu Yueying didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and immediately shouted anxiously:

"Don't call the police! I, I said! I was just joking! I didn't sell the jade pendant. A friend of mine thought the design of the jade pendant was beautiful and borrowed it to learn how to draw the patterns. I, I will get it back and return it to you in a while!"

The matter between Wu Yueying and Jian Ming has been making a lot of noise these past two days. Who in the village doesn't know about it? Gu Weidong's words just now were so direct, he almost pointed at Wu Yueying and scolded her. Anyone with a little bit of brains could understand what he meant.

Therefore, it was totally useless for Wu Yueying to find this lame excuse to cover up her crime, because everyone present had realized that Wu Yueying had given the Gu family's jade pendant to Jian Ming!

This is really ridiculous. It would be fine if she was two-timing, but she even gave her ex-fiancé's token of love to her cheating lover. It's unbelievable when it's made public. I can't understand the train of thought of the person who did this!

Now, not to mention Wu Yongbing, even the other members of the Wu family felt extremely embarrassed and wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Because Grandpa Gu lost his life while saving Wu Yueying, Wu Yongbing's wife has always felt inferior to the Gu family over the years and can't speak with her head held high. Feeling guilty, she deliberately distanced herself from Miao Cuilan and didn't interact much with the Gu family, as if only in this way could she feel a little better and calmly pretend that everything was fine.

But she had not expected that the things her daughter had done one after another would make all the toughness she had pretended to have all these years collapse. The looks that the Gu family members gave her at this moment were like loud slaps in the face, which left her with a swollen nose and face and unable to raise her head.

Seeing his daughter acting so righteous and not ashamed, Wu Yongbing was so angry that he rushed forward and slapped Wu Yueying hard in the face before anyone could expect it.

There was a crisp "pop" sound and Wu Yueying covered her cheek in disbelief.

"Now, immediately, go and get the jade pendant back to me! Otherwise, don't call me dad anymore. I, Wu Yongbing, don't have such a shameless daughter!" Wu Yongbing roared.

Wu Yueying covered her swollen cheek, feeling angry and humiliated. She glared at Wu Yongbing with hatred, bit her lips and clenched her fists tightly. She scanned everyone in the room, then turned around and ran out.

Once Wu Yueying ran away, the Wu family was like being roasted on a rack.

The two brothers Wu Cong and Wu Min were really annoyed with their sister at this moment.

Not to mention the two daughters-in-law, they were so annoyed and disgusted with this so-called sister-in-law that they secretly looked at each other and just wanted this neurotic sister-in-law to get married as soon as possible, preferably as far away as possible.

If Wu Yueying really dared to ask for bribes, the two daughters-in-law would definitely make a fuss about dividing the family property, and the two sisters-in-law would each ask for a residential plot in the village and build a house as far away from the sister-in-law as possible!

It was originally thought that Wu Yueying would be back in half an hour at most, but what no one expected was that the Gu family waited at the Wu family for more than two hours, until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when most of the families in the village had turned off the lights and gone to bed. The old people invited by the Gu family to serve as witnesses were yawning and very sleepy, and the eldest daughter of the Wu family had just returned from having an affair outside.

As soon as she entered the room and saw that the Gu family was still there, Wu Yueying froze her expression, curled her lips and sneered at Gu Weidong:

"What's so great about it? It's just a jade pendant. I don't even want this broken thing of yours. I'll give it back to you!"

As she spoke, Wu Yueying pulled something out of her pocket and prepared to throw it at Gu Weidong.

"Wu Yueying!"

"If you have the guts, just throw it away. I won't take care of you if I don't put you in jail!"

Gu Weidong realized what this woman was up to almost at the same time Wu Yueying made her move, and he immediately shouted.

Wu Yueying's raised hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and she looked towards Gu Weidong with a look of hatred and unwillingness.

This action of hers almost frightened the people from the Wu family to death, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.

Wu Yongbing didn't even need to say anything, the two brothers Wu Cong and Wu Min rushed forward at the first moment and snatched the jade pendant from Wu Yueying's hand, fearing that Wu Yueying would commit another crime and get into trouble again!

This is someone's heirloom jade pendant. If it gets damaged, the whole family won't be able to afford the compensation even if they lose everything they own!

The two brothers held the jade pendant and examined it carefully. When they handed it to Miao Cuilan, they were still very nervous. Neither of them dared to breathe heavily until they got a reply from Gu's family and confirmed that there was no problem with the jade pendant.

Miao Cuilan checked the jade pendant and was relieved to find that it showed no signs of damage. She was about to put it in her pocket when Gu Weidong suddenly reached out his hand and said to his mother:

"Show me!"

It's no wonder that Gu Weidong is cautious. The jade pendant in his family is made of top-grade mutton-fat jade, which is something that everyone is avoiding at this time. However, twenty years later, it was sold at a sky-high price.

If he had not seen the interview report by the so-called Wall Street elite in a domestic magazine, he would not even know that his jade pendant had been given away by the idiot Wu Yueying many years ago!

So Gu Weidong was extremely careful at this moment, fearing that the jade pendant at home would be replaced by Jian Ming, that sinister thief!

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Weidong got the jade pendant, Wu Yueying's expression became a little strange. She looked very guilty and was paying close attention to his situation.

This made Gu Weidong even more certain that Wu Yueying and Jian Mingken returned the jade pendant so readily, there must be some conspiracy behind it.

This jade pendant was left by Gu Weidong's grandfather, Gu Qingping. The jade is as warm, dense, pure, crystal and translucent as the fat of a freshly cut sheep. Because its texture is delicate and white, it can be said to be extremely rare.

At that time, Gu Weidong once wanted to take the jade back from Wu Yueying and take it to Jicheng Auction House for appraisal, but every time Wu Yueying made trouble and the plan was never completed. It was not until Wu Yueying finally demanded a divorce and Jian Ming even published a photo of the jade in a magazine. Only then did Gu Weidong realize that his family heirloom had long become someone else's property!

Now Gu Weidong has carefully examined the jade pendant and indeed can't see anything different on the outside.

Although he was always careful in his work, he was really unfamiliar with jade pendants. After searching for several minutes without finding anything unusual, he could only take the item back first.

By the time Gu's family sent back the elderly people who came to help testify and returned to the end of the village, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. At this time, Ye Qing was making maltose in the kitchen.

When she went to the countryside, she used all her sugar coupons to buy candies and snacks. As for brown sugar or white sugar, she did not buy any because she felt she could solve the problem of sugar herself.

These few days she secretly planted a batch of wheat and glutinous rice in her private plot and harvested about 100 kilograms of each. Although it was not much, it was enough for making maltose.

The production method of maltose is relatively simple and easy to operate. After the malt is catalyzed by supernatural power, it is mixed with glutinous rice and fermented in a jar for a day. After the malt and glutinous rice are saccharified, they are taken out at night to filter out the juice and make sugar.

She had just boiled the sugar water until it was boiling enough, turned off the fire in the stove, and was about to pinch off two pieces of syrup to give to Grandma Zou and Wang Chunhua in the house to try, but just as she walked out of the kitchen, she heard noise outside the yard.

Ye Qing called out quickly, "Grandma, auntie, have you finished your work? Oh, you're back just in time. I've just made some maltose and it's ready to be served. Come and try it to see if it's sweet!"

Auntie Gu was very angry at the Wu family. She kept saying all kinds of words that referred to her mother on the way back. She was in a bad mood. When she heard that Ye Qing had candies, she immediately stopped being polite and walked straight to the kitchen with Grandma Zou. She took a deep breath as she walked in:

"Ye Zhiqing, you can also make maltose? This smells so good, you don't even need to taste it to know it must be delicious!"

Ye Qing also thought she was pretty good. She had only watched videos of making maltose before and had a rough idea of ​​how to make it. She didn't expect that she would succeed on her first try after coming to this world.

Ye Qing picked up two lumps of syrup, cooled them in cold water until they became sugar cubes, and then stuffed them into the mouths of Grandma Zou and Aunt Gu respectively.

As soon as the maltose entered her mouth, Grandma Zou smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, and Auntie Gu widened her eyes in surprise:

"This candy is really delicious, sweet and fragrant, and is no worse than the beet candy bought at the market!"

Ye Qing smiled. She wanted to use beets to make sugar. Beet sugar does not require fermentation. All you need to do is crush the tubers into juice. The process is simpler than making maltose, but she didn't have beet seeds on hand. Next time she goes to the town, she will definitely go to the agricultural technology station to ask.

"It's a pity that there are no hawthorns or wild fruits, otherwise this consistency would be just right for making candied haws."

At this time, the other two children of the Gu family also squeezed into the kitchen, shouting that they also wanted to try it, while taking over Ye Qing's words:

"Hawthorn and wild fruits are plentiful in the back hills at this time of year. If you want to eat some, Ye Zhiqing, my brother and I will help you pick them tomorrow!"

When Ye Qing heard this, he immediately became excited.

She had wanted to go into the mountains for a long time, but so many things had happened during this period that she had not been able to find the time.

After hearing what Gu Weinan and Gu Weibei said, she was really moved.

"If you want to go into the mountains, take me with you. But I may not be able to do it tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to go to the army farm to deliver a cow that is about to give birth. How about the day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow I will be free and can go into the mountains with you. I want to prepare a bag of medicinal herbs for your eldest brother to use for the medicinal bath, so I just need to go into the mountains to find some herbs that will be used."

The two siblings had no objection to this. They had taken a half-month autumn harvest holiday specifically to come back to help with the harvest in the village, so they had plenty of time. It was no problem for Ye Qing to postpone it for a day or two.

Ye Qing packed the cooled maltose and stuffed a large lump of sugar into the mouths of Gu Weinan and Gu Weibei respectively. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Gu Weidong came in.

He was about to ask if there was a share for him, but his mother interrupted him the next second:

"Don't give it to Dongzi. He doesn't like sweet things. Last time, he thought the malt extract his leader gave him was too sweet and greasy."

Gu Weidong: …

He glanced at the packaged maltose in Ye Qing's hand, then he retracted his hand awkwardly and said to Ye Qing:

"Do you understand jade?"

Ye Qing was a little confused by the sudden question without any context: "Huh?"

Gu Weidong took out the jade pendant from his arms and said concisely:

"This is my family's heirloom jade. I just brought it back from the Wu family. But I feel like something is wrong with it, and I can't tell what's wrong. If you know, could you help me take a look?"

How could Ye Qing know anything about jade? But seeing the jade pendant that Gu Weidong took out was glossy and shiny, and even glowed faintly under the dim kerosene lamp, it was pleasing at first sight, and she couldn't help but reach out and take it to observe.

However, as soon as Ye Qing received the jade, he felt something strange.

Her five senses were very sensitive and she seemed to smell a faint sour smell. She was a little unsure, so she simply put the jade pendant in front of her nose and smelled it carefully again.

This time Ye Qing was certain that the sour smell came from the jade pendant.

"Has this jade pendant been soaked in white vinegar? Or is it stained with sweat, so it has a sour smell?" Ye Qing couldn't help but ask.

When these words came out, several people in the room were stunned.

Gu Weidong had only been checking whether the jade pendant had any damages on its appearance, and indeed had not thought about the smell of the jade pendant. When Ye Qing reminded him of this, he immediately took the jade pendant and sniffed it.

With just one sniff, he knew that Ye Qing was right.

"Not sure what it was, but it definitely had a sour smell."

Ye Qing immediately said, "Then you have to pay attention. The main component of jade is calcium magnesium silicate. This type of mineral is most afraid of acid because it will produce a chemical reaction with acidic substances, causing the surface to be corroded, thus becoming rough and loose, and the glossiness will definitely be greatly reduced. Once the quality of the jade is damaged, it will be worthless."

Although Ye Qing's explanation involved many professional chemical terms, several people in the room still understood it.

Several people immediately stopped eating maltose and their faces fell.

Gu Weidong's face became terrifyingly gloomy, and he was so angry that he clenched his fists unconsciously!

He said that based on Wu Yueying's usual behavior, she would never return things so willingly. Sure enough, he guessed right, the jade pendant had been tampered with!

These two people are really cruel. If they can't get it, they will destroy it. No one in his family knows about jade. After getting it, they didn't find any problems and would definitely hide the jade well. They would definitely not realize that they need to clean the jade pendant.

This means that the acidic substances will remain attached to the jade pendant. When you take it out after a while, the jade pendant will probably be ruined beyond recognition!

Seeing the reactions of the Gu family, Ye Qing knew that they were even more ignorant than she was. She hurried into the house to find some soap, soaked it in clean water and made a small basin of warm soapy water. She put the jade pendant in and washed it carefully for a while. After making sure that the sour smell was gone, she took it out and rinsed it several times with clean water.

"Acidic substances need to be neutralized with alkali. The main component of soap is fatty acid sodium, which becomes weak alkaline when it comes into contact with water. If your jade pendant encounters this situation, it is most appropriate to use weak alkali to clean it. However, after cleaning it, you still need to rinse it with clean water several times to ensure that there is no weak alkali left on it."

"This kind of top-grade jade is most afraid of acids and alkalis. The damage to the surface is almost irreversible. If acidic substances adhere to the surface and are not cleaned, the jade will be ruined over time."

While washing, Ye Qing did not forget to give scientific knowledge to Gu's family.

After washing it, Ye Qing found a towel and wiped it clean carefully. He held it in front of the kerosene lamp and carefully checked it. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed the jade pendant to Gu Weidong:

"It shouldn't have been soaked for long. There's no damage on the jade. Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it had been delayed for a while, it would have been troublesome."

"This pair of bastards, not only are they immoral first, but they also dare to do such vicious tricks behind people's backs. Brother, we absolutely cannot let them get away with it!"

Gu Weinan's explosive temper was ignited like a firecracker. He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to rush out to find someone to fight.

But before she could rush out, Gu Weibei grabbed her collar.

"Why are you in such a hurry? There are so many men in the family, do you really need to take the lead? The matter between my elder brother and Wu Yueying has been put to rest today, there is no need to make a big fuss and make everyone in the village come to see our family and make a fool of themselves!"

This made Gu Weinan very upset: "We have been kind to them by not dragging them out and parading them through the streets. Can't they say anything after suffering such a huge loss? Why? This is too easy for them!"

Gu Weibei couldn't help but sigh: "What is your brain for? Big Brother always says that you are suitable for being a soldier. I think if you really become a soldier, you will only be a frontline soldier for the rest of your life. You have well-developed limbs but a simple brain, and you will only be used as a gun by others!"

"Even if we go to them to settle accounts with them, will they admit it? It's just a little bit sour, and we can't provide any evidence. If we really make a fuss about it, the people in the village might think that we are taking advantage of the situation. We might end up being the one who is wrong in the end, even though we were originally in the right."

Gu Weinan was immediately stuck. He looked at Gu Weibei and then at Gu Weidong:

"So what do you guys say we should do? We can't just let it go like this, right?"

Gu Weibei smiled his signature harmless smile:

"What can I do? You are a girl, so stop mixing it up. Eat the candy quickly, go back to brush your teeth and go to bed. Do you really think you are a tigress? I tell you, if you continue to act like this, you won't be able to find a partner in Qingshan Town or even in the entire Jiaotan County!"

Gu Weinan was so angry that he chased Gu Weibei and started beating him:

"Who are you calling a tigress? How can you talk like that? You are so disrespectful. Do you know that I am your sister?"

As an outsider, Ye Qing certainly would not be able to get involved in this matter, but when she noticed the faint light flashing in Gu Weidong's eyes, she guessed that this guy might be planning something bad.

Although I don't know how this guy plans to deal with Jian Ming and Wu Yueying, but with the ruthlessness in Gu Weidong's bones, if he takes revenge, he will definitely not just give them a painless prank and be done with it. He will definitely beat those two people so hard that they can't even get up.

Ye Qing couldn't help but mourn for the two in his heart. Why did they have to mess with the desperate Gu family? This guy is the kind of person who would even risk his life for a mission. No matter how you two scheme, can you be crazier than him?

After the maltose cooled for a while and was ready to be handled, Ye Qing took the syrup out of the pot and quickly pulled it in his hands until the golden syrup was pulled into long white strips. He then used scissors to cut it into sugar cubes of similar size and rolled them into round balls. The maltose balls were then ready.

Ye Qing put about one pound of food in a paper bag and stuffed it into Auntie Gu's pocket, asking her to take it home to eat. Auntie Gu was too embarrassed to accept it, but she would be blocked by Ye Qing's words the next second.

"I was planning to ask you to make me some cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but you won't even accept these little things. How can I ask you for help again?"

Ye Qing smiled and stuffed the big bag of maltose into Gu Weidong's arms, not giving Aunt Gu any chance to refuse.

Looking at the snow-white candy in the paper bag, Gu Weidong secretly swallowed his saliva, turned around and walked into the night. Before the three people at home caught up with him, he quickly pinched a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he quickly closed his mouth as if nothing had happened, as if the person who had just eaten it was not him.

After making the maltose, cleaning the kitchen and finishing acupuncture for Grandma Zou, it was already very late. After washing up, Ye Qing was about to pour the dirty water into his private plot when he suddenly caught a glimpse of three dark shadows flashing in the next yard.

Ye Qing paused, then pretended not to see it and went into the house.

As soon as she saw the three dark shadows, she guessed what was going on.

It was a dark and windy night, and the three men of the Gu family were getting ready to run out and do some work.

The next morning, before Ye Qing went to work, Meng Jia came home with a smug look on her face. As soon as she entered the door, she told her a super explosive news.

"Last night, Jian Ming and Liu Mei secretly hid in the haystack to do something, and they were caught early this morning!"

Ye Qing paused, raised his head and looked at Meng Jia in shock:

"ha?"

Thinking Ye Qing didn't believe it, Meng Jia quickly described it with dancing hands:

"Really! In the morning, everyone went to work in the fields. I don't know if the two of them slept too soundly or what, they hid in the haystack and didn't wake up. As a result, their snoring was heard by the villagers in the village. When they opened the haystack, guess what they saw? The two of them were huddled together in their clothes. It was so ugly that many of the female educated youth covered their eyes."

Ye Qing's mouth twitched involuntarily.

She said that the three of them went out to have some fun last night, but she didn't expect that they would do something so outrageous.

Listening to Meng Jia's description, she could imagine how exciting the scene was.

I just don't know, after making a fuss for most of the month, going on a hunger strike and destroying her own reputation, and taking great pains to cancel the original engagement, she was just waiting to get married, but the "potential stock" she had been looking for was snatched away by Liu Mei. Would Wu Yueying be furious?

"Is this considered hooliganism? Such an immoral and corrupt thing, can the village just turn a blind eye to it?" Ye Qing was a little curious.

Meng Jia immediately said:

"How could they do that? This was in front of everyone, such an obvious adultery, how could the brigade officials cover it up? They arrested the two on the spot, and now the villagers are shouting that they want to parade the two shameful people through the streets!"

Ye Qing was more curious about Jian Ming and Liu Mei's reactions:

"They pleaded guilty?"

When talking about this, Meng Jia finds it funny:

"Jian Ming denied it and kept shouting that he was innocent, saying that he was sleeping in a member's home at night and someone knocked him unconscious and stuffed him into a haystack. He was framed;"

"But it's useless for him to deny it. Liu Mei has already admitted that she and Jian Ming have known each other since childhood and that they were originally an engaged couple. They couldn't help themselves because there was no special educated youth center in the village. They didn't even have time to be alone together. They were forced to run to the haystack to be intimate."

"They also said that both of their parents had already tacitly agreed to the marriage, and the reason they hadn't gotten the marriage certificate was that they were waiting to hold the wedding banquet together when they returned to their hometown to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year."

"Jian Ming was almost going crazy. She cursed at Liu Mei out of anger, but Liu Mei insisted that they were dating someone. No matter how hysterically Jian Ming cursed her, she just took it in, like a bullied wife, which further confirmed the fact that they were having sex outside."

"Captain Wu and the old branch secretary are currently holding a meeting to discuss the consequences for Jian Ming and Liu Mei. The villagers have lost interest in their work and are gathering at the entrance of the village to discuss this matter."

The more Ye Qing listened, the funnier it became, and he almost burst out laughing on the spot.

Jian Ming and Liu Mei were definitely knocked unconscious and stuffed into the haystack by Gu Weidong's two siblings, probably with the intention of ruining Jian Ming's reputation.

According to normal logic, if Liu Mei wants to get out of this situation, the best way is to sue Jian Mingnu for raping her. Then Jian Mingnu will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame as the raped girl by Gong Suannu, and she will never be able to turn over in her life.

But Ye Qing guessed that even the three members of the Gu family would not have expected that the story would develop in such a bizarre direction. Jian Ming did cry out for injustice, but in order to rely on Jian Ming, Liu Mei even threw away her reputation and fabricated the relationship between the two of them as an engaged couple.

With so much shouting and killing in the village, Jian Ming would surely soon realize the seriousness of the problem. If he didn't want to be labeled a hooligan, the only way was to follow Liu Mei's words and accept their engagement as husband and wife.

Ye Qing guessed correctly. After doing their bad deeds last night, the three members of the Gu family went back to their room and slept soundly. Then, early this morning, Gu Weinan and Gu Weibei couldn't wait to get up and happily followed the main force to work in the fields. In fact, they just wanted to watch the show.

Then, the expressions of Gu Weinan and Gu Weibei changed from excitement to shock and astonishment, and in the end their expressions were indescribable. They were simply overwhelmed by that "strange woman" Liu Mei.

The siblings were in shock until they returned home after watching the excitement, and they didn't even know how to explain it to their eldest brother.

After Gu Weidong understood the whole story, he was also stunned and almost thought he had heard it wrongly.

However, he soon sat on the edge of the kang and trembled all over. He was so happy that he almost fell down on the bed. He was afraid of tearing the stitches on his body, so he had to suppress it. It was very difficult to endure.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?" Gu Weinan was very puzzled.

Gu Weidong was in a very happy mood and asked with a raised eyebrow:

"What was the purpose of our doing that last night?"

The two kids replied in unison: "Of course it's to teach Jian Ming a lesson. It would be best if he went straight to jail!"

Gu Weidong smiled and said, "Then I guess this result may be more painful for him than going to jail."

"Why?" Gu Weinan and Gu Weibei both looked confused.

"Isn't Jian Ming's purpose in hooking up with Wu Yueying to use her as a springboard to get the admission letter to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University that will lead him back to the city?"

"Now that Liu Mei has caused such a commotion, there is definitely no hope for him and Wu Yueying. His path to college is also blocked. In order to make Wu Yueying give up, Wu Yongbing might even try to make Liu Mei and Jian Ming's relationship a complete reality."

"By then, Jian Ming will have no choice but to marry Liu Mei in order to survive. Once the two of them get their marriage certificate, Wu Yueying will be left with nothing."

"The two of them spent a lot of time and effort, but in the end, they got nothing and got themselves into trouble. Don't you think this result is the most painful punishment for them?"

There are even two other funny points that Gu Weidong is not in a position to talk about for the time being.

That is Liu Mei, who is said to have paranoid personality disorder, stubbornness, jealousy, sensitivity, suspicion and paranoid delusions. Once you are liked by such a person, it is like being stuck with a piece of taffy, and you will never be able to get rid of this person in your life.

This is a complete disaster. Given Liu Mei's abnormal desire for control, Jian Ming is likely to suffer from this.

As for Wu Yueying, judging from the time, in order to completely tie Jian Ming down, this fool has most likely already given her body and soul to Jian Ming. The child from her previous life might have already been reincarnated into her belly by now.

If Jian Ming and Liu Mei get married, Wu Yueying will probably have to find a cheap father for the baby in her belly again. But this time there will be no Gu Weidong to take over. Gu Weidong will have to see what Wu Yueying plans to do.

I have to say that Gu Weidong's analysis is correct.

Wu Yongbing had no regard for Jian Ming, who had seduced his young lady to the point of losing her mind and even resorted to the tactic of hanging herself and fasting to threaten her parents to resist the engagement.

Wu Yongbing was hoping that this male educated youth would quickly start a family with another woman. As long as they got the marriage certificate, it would mean that Wu Yueying would stop thinking about him. So what was happening right now was exactly what Wu Yongbing wanted.

So, when the villagers were clamoring to drag Jian Ming and Liu Mei out to parade through the streets as an example to the public, Wu Yongbing, as the team leader, instead stood on the side of the two educated youth who had gone to the countryside.

Captain Wu said righteously that it was not easy for the educated youth to go to the countryside, and the villagers in the village should also show a certain degree of understanding and support, especially in the case of Liu Mei and Jian Ming, which was indeed excusable. As long as they quickly went to the town to get a marriage certificate and became a formal couple, the brigade would show leniency to them, exempt them from parading through the streets, and only impose certain labor punishments on them.

The news that Wu Yueying was clamoring to marry Jian Ming had spread throughout the entire village. Everyone in the village knew that Wu Yongbing's daughter was having an affair with Jian Ming, and that she had already hooked up with him even before the engagement with the Gu family was cancelled.

Now that Wu Yongbing said this, the people in the village were no fools and they immediately understood Wu Yongbing's intention.

But Wu Yongbing was the team leader of the village after all, and this incident involved two educated youth from the city, which had nothing to do with anyone in the village, so everyone was happy to give Wu Yongbing this face.

Therefore, Liu Mei and Jian Ming were given a profound ideological education by the brigade cadres. The final result was that Jian Ming admitted that he was dating Liu Mei, and at the urging of Wu Yongbing, Wu Cong personally drove a bullock cart and took the two of them to the town to get a marriage certificate.

By the time Wu Yueying, who had taken a long nap and woke up at noon, got the news, Liu Mei had already returned happily holding the marriage certificate. The girl was so happy that she almost floated with joy along the way, and even when she returned to the village, she held up the certificate and showed it off to everyone.

Looking at the marriage certificate in Liu Mei's hand, and then at Jian Ming who followed her back like a deceased parent, Wu Yueying instantly fell to the ground and almost went crazy on the spot.
