Chapter 14 I'm going to the Public Security Bureau to report a case and treat the villagers to steamed buns

After fighting for a while, the three men were already bruised and battered, but the villagers were still not satisfied. It was only when Chen Mianmian felt that it was enough that she stopped them.

"Thank you all uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law for helping me. If it weren't for you, I would have hanged myself tonight."

Chen Mianmian stayed up all night, her eyes were red, and she looked particularly pitiful at the moment.

"Hey, little Mianmian, what's there to thank you for? They clearly did something immoral, so they deserve to be beaten.

Now, what are your plans?"

After the beating, everyone just groaned, not knowing what to do. After all, there was still the village chief lying naked on the ground. What if he wanted to take revenge tomorrow...

"I don't have any plans. I just don't want to live this miserable life anymore," Chen Mianmian said with a determined glint in her eyes. "Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. I'm going to sue them."

The Fang family hired someone to rape Chen Mianmian but failed. The village chief abused his power for personal gain, and Ge Chunhua had an affair. Those two men are hooligans, so no one should have any hope of survival.

People in this era were very taboo about visiting government offices, thinking it was unlucky. They didn't expect that Chen Mianmian would actually go there to file a complaint.

In fact, Chen Mianmian didn't expect the villagers to be so helpful today, which saved her a lot of trouble.

"I'm really sorry to have troubled everyone all night. When I get back from filing my complaint, I'll go door to door to thank everyone."

Chen Mianmian bowed to the villagers who had helped her. Over the years, they had mainly relied on the food given by Ge Chunhua and had long since starved to death.

The villagers felt sorry for her and fed her vegetables or soup when she was growing up.

At this moment, Chen Mianmian was truly grateful to everyone, and she really wanted to buy some food as a parting gift for the villagers who had helped the original owner.

"Hey, kid, what are you thanking me for? Every family has a daughter. If we let these beasts go today, won't we be pushing you into the fire pit?"

The aunt beside her touched Chen Mianmian's hair and waved her hand, telling her not to think too much.

Seeing how sensible and obedient she was, others didn't need to thank her. This girl was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

"That's right, Mianmian girl, it's obviously these three beasts who are doing nothing wrong. Since you want to complain, let's take them to the police station and see how they can harm you."

"Yes, that's right. I'm going to harness the ox cart and take Ge Chunhua and her mistress with me. No one can escape today."

Watching the villagers actively helping each other, Chen Mianmian once again felt the simple affection between people in this era.

After a while, the people involved woke up all the sleeping people.

Except for the children who were sleeping soundly, all the villagers and the cats and dogs in the village knew what happened in the Fang family.

Everyone also knows that in order to climb up the social ladder, Fang Youwei asked his parents to harm Chen Mianmian.

For a while, the whole village was filled with curses. When Ge Chunhua and the "adulterer" Li San were put on the ox cart together, the villagers all came out with flashlights.

Looking at the people with bruised faces and noses, and then looking at Chen Mianmian who was walking with his head down beside them, they angrily picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the five people.

For Fang Youwei's happiness, so many people actually wanted to harm Chen Mianmian. They deserve to die.

Five people were tied to a bullock cart and didn't dare to cry out in pain even when being hit. After all, there were so many people around. If someone got angry and beat them to death, their lives would be ruined.

Although, what awaits them afterwards is not a good thing.

Perhaps due to everyone's anger, the journey to town, which usually takes an hour and a half, was shortened to just one hour.

It was still dark when we arrived in town.

They drove the ox cart all the way to the Public Security Bureau. The police officer on duty came over and looked at the people tied up and with bruised faces on the ox cart, wondering what was going on.

"What do you want?"

Sun Cheng looked at the villagers. When they saw the uniformed policemen, they shrank back and stammered, unable to say anything.

At this time, Chen Mianmian walked over with red eyes and said with a sad face that she wanted to call the police because the people on the ox cart wanted to harm her.

Afterwards, Chen Mianmian told her how Fang Youwei and his family had harmed her in order to marry the leader's daughter.

They also exposed the village chief's promiscuous relationships, bribery, and abuse of power for personal gain.

The more Sun Cheng listened, the more he frowned. Isn't that Fang Youwei Chen Shimei?

"Comrade Public Security, Zhao Erlu, who was arrested earlier, was hired by my stepmother to bully me in the mountains.

You can find out as soon as you ask. If I, Chen Mianmian, tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

The villagers quickly covered her mouth, saying that this was not allowed to be said and that it was not allowed to promote feudal superstition.

"Comrade Public Security, what Mianmian said is true. We can all testify to this. She was just too angry and that's why she said this."

These days, there are too many cases of people being taken away for saying the wrong thing. Sun Cheng is not the kind of person who would nitpick with words, so he waved his hand to signal them not to be nervous.

"Bring the man in, I want to interrogate him thoroughly."

While on duty in the middle of the night, a big job came up, so Sun Cheng directed the villagers to bring the person in.

At first, Ge Chunhua and the others cried out for injustice, but when Chen Mianmian took out the telegrams and letters that the cats had helped steal by sneaking into the house, they fell silent.

Fang Youwei clearly told them in the letter to deal with Chen Mianmian as soon as possible. He didn't want his marriage to be affected when his leader sent people back to the village to investigate.

The letter mentioned the village chief and Ge Chunhua, both of whom were bribed with money.

The letter paper had the name of Fang Youwei's unit, as well as a postmark and mailing address, all proving that what Chen Mianmian said was true.

While Sun Cheng was interrogating them, the villagers were waiting outside to record their statements.

There were only two police officers on duty at the Public Security Bureau, and it would definitely be slow to question everyone one by one. Chen Mianmian was the first to finish recording the confession. Looking at everyone's tired faces who were still trying to hold on, he felt a little sorry.

I asked the police if there was any place selling breakfast nearby. Coincidentally, there was a state-owned restaurant nearby, and the breakfast section there sold buns, steamed buns, etc.

After expressing his gratitude, Chen Mianmian said hello to the villagers and went to buy breakfast.

It just so happened that she was a money-grubber and always carried money and tickets with her, so she had more than enough to treat everyone to a meal.

The state-owned restaurant was easy to find. When Chen Mianmian went there, there was already a long line. Although the waiters had an arrogant attitude, there were still many people coming to buy breakfast.

When she got to Chen Mianmian's place, she asked for twenty steamed buns, ten steamed buns, and five small portions of pickles.

"Do you have food coupons to buy so much? We don't have coupons here, so even if we have money, it's useless."

The waiter frowned and looked at Chen Mianmian, worried that she didn't have enough food coupons and would have to trouble him.

Chen Mianmian took out a stack of food coupons weighing two kilograms and gave them to the waiter, only to be met with a roll of the eyes and a pile of steamed buns.

She didn't bring a lunch box, so when she left, she rented a rice bowl from a state-owned restaurant for two cents and returned it after she finished eating.

When she carried a pile of steamed buns back to the Public Security Bureau, everyone couldn't help swallowing. The buns smelled so good, they must be filled with meat, right?

After a whole night of hard work, it was now daybreak. Everyone's stomachs were rumbling at the smell of the delicious buns.

Chen Mianmian felt the villagers' eager eyes and stuffed the buns into their hands one by one with a smile.

"I've troubled everyone to work with me this evening. I don't have much to offer, so I can only buy some steamed buns to express my gratitude. Please don't mind."

After hearing what Chen Mianmian said, everyone quickly waved their hands. Who would dislike a big bun?

For a normal family in the village, eating fine noodles twice a year is considered the New Year. But Chen Mianmian gave each person two steamed buns and a steamed bun. Who would dare to complain?

Some people felt sorry for the money and wanted to return it to Chen Mianmian, but when they saw her eager expression, they couldn't refuse it in an instant.

"This money was given to me by my father before he left. He said I had suffered so much over the years and told me to spend it freely. I want to repay you all for helping me so much~"

In the end, everyone couldn't resist Chen Mianmian's enthusiastic invitation, and the buns were so delicious and they were so hungry that they couldn't help but eat them.

The soft bun skin is paired with the meaty filling. If you choke while eating, you can also have a few bites of the crispy pickled radish.

They might not be able to eat so well during the Chinese New Year, and they were almost in tears after eating so much.

Especially in this era, the ingredients are solid, and the buns are bigger than an adult male's fist. Chen Mianmian was full after eating two.

She gave the remaining buns to Sun Cheng and another policeman.

I was carrying the empty basin and preparing to return it when I was halfway there when I heard someone shouting, "Catch a thief!"
