On a hot afternoon, everyone was working hard in the drying yard.

A woman came running over excitedly.

"Everyone come quick, look! Someone's cheating on his wife again!"

The loud sound was like a huge stone hitting the water.

The women on the stone slab instantly turned into wild beasts that had smelled blood.

Everyone stretched their necks with great enthusiasm.

"What? Someone's having an affair again?"

Where? Where?

"Lian Shun's mom, did you see clearly? Who is it?"

"This guy's got guts. This just happened, and he still dares to commit crimes against the wind?"

"I told you that what happened earlier would corrupt the younger generation. See, I was right."

"Let's go take a look, hurry, or we'll run away."

Where is it?

"It's in the warehouse. When I went to get the sacks, guess what I was looking at?"

"A man and a woman, embracing each other, their clothes disheveled."

"Oh my, it's so embarrassing, I'm too embarrassed to look at it any longer."

Lian Shun's mother thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

Her gaze drifted toward Zhang Guiying, who was standing beside the windmill loading grain.

She and Zhang Guiying came from the same village and didn't get along when they were young. Later, they both married into Gaotang Village.

A few years ago, her husband lost the competition with Luo Weiping for the position of village secretary, which made her dislike him even more.

"Guiying, why don't you go and take a look too?"

Zhang Guiying paused in her hand as she turned the windmill, a bad premonition rising from the bottom of her heart.

The group grumbled as they headed toward the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse.

The sound of Lian Shun's mother slamming the door just now did wake up the two main characters inside.

Ah~

"rogue!"

*Snap*

Chen Haiying slapped Luo Zhishan hard across the face and picked up her clothes from the ground to cover her body.

The alternating feelings of shame and indignation caused her whole body to tremble slightly.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Luo Zhishan was equally panicked.

Before the two of them could even get their clothes ready, Lian Shun's mother had already arrived with the main force.

When Aunt Guiying, who had been led over, saw this, she almost fainted.

"Hey, is the feng shui in our brigade going badly lately?"

"Why are they all like this...?"

"It's another educated youth from the city seducing our local young men."

"Hey, isn't the second son of this village secretary always chasing after that educated youth, Chen?"

"How long has it been, and they've already changed people?"

"Arrest him! Arrest him!"

"They must be severely punished, absolutely severely punished, otherwise this unhealthy trend cannot be stopped!"

Zhang Guiying, disregarding her dizziness, grabbed the doorframe and sprayed the person behind her.

"Shut up, all of you."

"Did you catch my son in bed with another woman with your own eyes or what?"

“I, Zhishan, and Chen, were naked, yet you keep talking about having affairs. I think you all have low moral standards.”

When Lian Shun's mother heard this, she realized that it was a veiled attack, implying that she was making things up and stirring up trouble.

“I can testify that I saw them having an affair with my own eyes.”

"Guiying, I know it's understandable that you can't accept it right away."

“But when we came in, your Zhishan was still pulling up his pants.”

"I think I'm not the only one who saw it, right, everyone?"

At this moment, Chen Haiying had completely lost her usual arrogance; she thought of Tang Liping's fate.

He took two steps back in fear, his teeth chattering.

Luo Zhishan also lowered his head, looking dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Soon, the two were taken to the village committee office.

Liu Dazhu, wanting to give Luo Weiping some face, stood at the door without going in.

Luo Weiping, his face dark, slapped his son hard across the face first.

"brute."

"Dad~"

"Don't call me Dad, I don't have a son like you."

"Look what you've done, you beast!"

"How could you do this to me after all these years of teaching? What good has all your education done?"

"Don't you know what you can and can't do?"

"You've really disappointed me!"

After the superficial work is done well.

Luo Weiping's expression softened, and he spoke softly to Chen Haiying.

“Chen Zhiqing, don’t be afraid, I will definitely give you justice today.”

"If Luo Zhishan really did something immoral, I will beat him to death today."

Chen Haiying wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and stood there without saying a word.

Don't think she doesn't understand. Even a dog knows to help its own offspring, let alone a human.

She's definitely going to suffer this loss.

Now she only hopes that she won't be handed over to the commune.

"You unfilial son, why don't you tell me honestly what happened?"

Luo Zhishan shuddered in fright, his bloodshot eyes looking at Luo Weiping with fear.

"dad."

"I don't know."

"I was working when a piece of paper wrapped with pebbles was dropped at my feet."

"Look, I haven't lost it yet."

As Luo Zhishan spoke, he took a piece of paper out of his pocket.

It was a faded red paper.

It's obvious at a glance that it was torn from a couplet on someone else's door.

"I followed the instructions on the note and got to the warehouse. Then everything went black and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, well, well..."

Luo Zhishan looked at Luo Weiping nervously, "Dad, I'm innocent, I didn't, I didn't."

Luo Weiping stared at the paper in his hand with a sullen face. On the white lining of the Spring Festival couplet, a few words were written in pencil.
