Facing Zhuang Haosi's bloodshot eyes due to anger, Song Ruanruan was a little scared, but when she thought about what would be waiting for her once she admitted it, she hardened her heart.
She rolled up her sleeves and pointed at the bruises on her wrists and complained to everyone.
"These are all left over from when he forced himself on me last night."
The marks on Song Ruanruan's wrists were indeed related to Zhuang Haosi, but they were only left when they were having fun.
Now, when he heard that she had put all the blame on him in order to completely clear him, Zhuang Haosi's eyes turned red as if blood could drip out.
He stood up suddenly and grabbed Song Ruanruan's arm viciously.
"Bitch! It was you who seduced me, and you still say I forced you! Don't forget how you seduced me these past few days!"
"Don't talk nonsense! When did I seduce you? You forced me!"
Song Ruanruan objected loudly.
The two of them started arguing.
Everyone in the room was watching them fight each other.
Only the two of them know what exactly happened between them, and now the village cadres are not sure who is right.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
At this time, Rong Zhengqing suddenly stood up.
"I can testify for Zhuang Haosi that he is not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding about this matter."
Rong Zhengqing has been working in the countryside for many years and has often appeared in front of village cadres. Everyone knows her and has a good impression of her.
Now that they heard him testify for Zhuang Haosi, the village cadres were more inclined to believe that Zhuang Haosi was telling the truth, and they looked at Song Ruanruan with even more disdain.
Nie Jinmei grabbed Rong Zhengqing's arm and looked at her in surprise: "Zhengqing, why are you still talking to a scum like him, you..."
She just felt it wasn't worth it for Rong Zhengqing.
Zhuang Haosi didn't expect that at this time, Rong Zhengqing would still be willing to speak for him. He looked at her with emotion.
When Rong Zhengqing received his affectionate gaze, he felt sick and turned his head away.
Seeing that the village cadres were about to believe Zhuang Haosi's words, Song Ruanruan became so anxious that her eyes turned red.
Just when the office was in chaos, Yan Ping also arrived.
"Director Yan, why are you here too?"
The village cadres saw him and greeted him.
They were having a headache at the moment and had no extra energy to receive him as the headmaster.
"I want to report Zhuang Haosi for bribery."
Yan Ping said this with a stern face, and then he took out the envelope that Zhuang Haosi gave him yesterday and threw it on the table.
The envelope hit the table and the lady's watch inside fell out.
Song Zhi saw the appearance of the watch clearly and looked at Song Ruanruan in surprise.
"Song Ruanruan, isn't this watch your father bought you as a birthday gift? How did it get into the envelope?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ruanruan's eyes immediately became evasive. She hesitated for a long time but did not give a decent explanation.
Instead, Nie Jinmei sneered and said, "She must have bribed Director Yan together with Zhuang Haosi."
The moment Yan Ping appeared, Zhuang Haosi's face turned pale.
Especially after seeing the envelope incident being exposed, he knew that there was no turning back.
As the principal of Dongyang Primary School, Yan Ping already has a certain say in the village.
"What else do you two have to say now?" The village cadre looked at Song Ruanruan and Zhuang Haosi and asked coldly.
Zhuang Haosi hung his head with a deathly pale face, having given up resistance. Song Ruanruan was intimidated by the fierce eyes of the village cadres and was speechless for a while.
"Not only did you two have an affair in the dormitory, you also attempted to bribe Director Yan. Now, for all your crimes, you must go to the Western Farm for labor reform!"
The village cadres made the final decision and announced the punishment for the two people.
As soon as the words "Western Farm" were uttered, the onlookers sighed.
That area was a place of exile for people who had committed serious offenses. Even grown men would be skinned alive if they went there, let alone delicate women.
You will be reformed there, and whether you can survive depends on fate.
"I don't want to go! I didn't do anything. None of this has anything to do with me! Village officials, please investigate thoroughly. I was really just forced. I know nothing!"
Song Ruanruan panicked and begged with a sad face.
Although she didn't know what the Western Farm was, she understood what the words "labor reform" meant.
She can't bear that hardship!
But the result had already been decided. The village cadres did not listen to her excuses at all and directly let the militia from the inspection team take over the two of them.
After the snow melts, the two of them will be taken to a western farm to undergo transformation.
When she was about to be dragged out of the office, Song Ruanruan suddenly grabbed Song Zhi's clothes and begged desperately.
"Sister, please send a telegram to Dad. I don't want to be reformed. Please help me!"
Hearing her calling her "sister" all the time, Song Zhi felt extremely disgusted, but she still responded well.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram to Dad right away to ask for his help."
Hearing this, Song Ruanruan felt slightly relieved.
Although she didn't understand why Song Zhi's attitude was so different today and he was willing to help her?
But at this moment, Song Ruanruan didn't want to think too much about it, because Song Zhi was her only lifeline now.
Rong Zhengqing on the side looked at Song Zhi.
She also remembered that a few days ago, Song Zhi suddenly asked her how to find the people from the inspection team. At that time, Rong Zhengqing was still a little puzzled. Although she vaguely guessed everything, she did not expect that Song Zhi would actually do such a cruel thing.
Even the words that asked Zhuang Haosi to bribe Yan Ping were taught by Song Zhi.
However, Song Ruanruan and Zhuang Haosi suffered the consequences of their own actions.
If they were smarter and understood Yan Ping's character clearly and knew that he was the most upright person, they would not have believed her words and bribed him.
After thinking through the causes and consequences, Rong Zhengqing looked at Song Zhi with admiration.
Noticing her gaze, Song Zhi turned around and smiled at her.
Song Ruanruan and Zhuang Haosi have been taken away by the militia of the inspection team, but Song Zhi still wants to finish the last scene.
With red eyes, she walked up to the captain Long Deshou and begged for mercy for Song Ruanruan.
"Captain, Song Ruanruan is the most easily deceived at her age. This incident might really have nothing to do with her. Captain, can't she be exempted from punishment?"
Long Deshou shook his head at her: "There's nothing I can do about this matter."
This matter has become a big deal, and they have been caught red-handed. It has been revealed that Song Ruanruan and Zhuang Haosi have had an affair, not to mention the bribery.
Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's face suddenly turned ugly and he sat dejectedly on a chair beside him.
Seeing this, Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing hurried forward to comfort her.
