Chapter 97

Pang Sihai subconsciously looked around the office and found that even if there was something there, he might not be able to see it. He then turned his gaze to Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran who were hiding in the corner and were about to confront them.

Look at what you have accomplished.

On the other side, Weisheng honestly recounted his itinerary yesterday.

I get up early to pick mushrooms in the mountains, and go to the town to see a movie before dusk. "...After we returned to the village, I went home and found that the dough I kneaded the day before had risen. I was afraid it would go bad the next day, so I steamed several pots of steamed buns overnight."

The interrogator glanced at Ye Qianqian and saw her shocked expression. He couldn't help but ask Weisheng, "Who can prove that what you said is true?"

After hearing this, Weisheng directly asked back, "Then who can prove that I'm not telling the truth?"

The person asking the question didn't expect Weisheng to ask the question back, so he pretended to be angry and said, "I'm asking you a question."

Weisheng wasn't frightened by this petty attitude, which wasn't even a big deal. He immediately replied, "As long as no one can prove that I'm not telling the truth, then what I said is the truth."

Everyone who heard Weisheng's words said: Why does this sound so much like a tongue twister?

Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, the village chief was afraid that Weisheng would suffer a loss and hurriedly stepped forward to explain Weisheng's identity and that he could guarantee Weisheng.

"...This child is so thoughtful. He even got up early and brought us some steamed buns filled with jujube paste and red beans."

The village party secretary nodded upon hearing this and said, "I have some at home too."

Weisheng used the dough mixer in his space to make the dough. The jujube paste and red bean paste were purchased in his previous life and had a 12-month shelf life. Weisheng calculated the time and used them all.

Earlier, Weisheng bought a lot of small machines online, such as steamed bun machines, dumpling machines, and bun machines.

Yesterday I used these machines to make steamed bun dough in the space, and then took it to the shed to steam it. It was not difficult at all.

But considering the amount of money Weisheng gave away, everyone calculated it and found that she probably did nothing that night but steamed buns.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

The people with red sleeves asked Weisheng why he had to send so many pages. Weisheng answered them directly, but this answer embarrassed them again.

Xing'an Village is full of godmothers, sisters who married in the village, brothers who have started families, uncles and aunts who have taken care of her since she was a child, the old village chief, the old party secretary...

A few steamed buns are not worth much, but we can’t favor one over the other, right?

You gave this one but not that one, and you didn't tell anyone about it but just let others know. What's the point of this?

Okay, let’s put aside Weisheng who was steaming buns, and what did you do last night, Pang Sihai?

"I went home after watching the movie. When I got home, I found that I was cold. I didn't want to be late for work today, so I took two Analgin tablets and slept until this time."

…

As long as no one was caught red-handed, the Red Sleeves couldn't do anything to Weisheng. The Red Sleeves in town were all local residents and young people from various villages. Pang Sihai not only had good relationships, but also had strong connections in both the village and town. Therefore, neither Weisheng nor Pang Sihai would be easily convicted based on a few words from Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran.

Ye Qianqian, certain that Weisheng was the one who hurt her, squeezed out the words like toothpaste, "Zhang Zhang must have suspected that I pushed her, so she wants to take revenge on me."

If he wasn't suspicious of her, why hadn't he been hanging out with her these past few days? Yet, he even asked her to go mushroom picking in the mountains and go to the movies in town with him yesterday.

Yes, it is indeed suspicious that it suddenly becomes warm after being cold for so many days.

"I do suspect she pushed me off the bridge that day, but the real reason I should stay away from her is..." Everyone looked at Weisheng. Weisheng lowered his eyes at first, then said to everyone a little embarrassedly, "I suspect she is the eldest daughter of a capitalist."

"What?"

"You're talking nonsense! I'm not~"

Everyone else was shocked by Weisheng's words, except Ye Qianqian, who appeared timid but was actually nervous as she refuted Weisheng.

Weisheng glanced at her and said softly, "Because I only had suspicions, I didn't tell anyone."

Ye Qianqian: So what does it mean now?

You're out of luck!

The man in red sleeves didn't expect to hear such doubts, and immediately asked Weisheng why he was so suspicious.

Weisheng: "She lived in my house before, and she talked in her sleep several times, saying 'bring over the bottle of French perfume I just bought', and 'I want to wear the silk dress I just bought, please iron it and send it over'...

I thought it was just a dream before, but after falling into the water, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. When she came to see me yesterday, I thought I would play along for a while and then expose her when I found evidence.

Weisheng's words sounded so convincing that those who didn't know the truth actually believed her to some extent.

After hearing Weisheng's words, Shao Xiuran suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Qianqian, and asked her with his eyes: "Are you talking in your sleep?"

Ye Qianqian: "Don't you know whether I talk in my sleep or not?"

Shao Xiuran shook his head, "We've only done it, but never slept together, so how would I know?"

Ye Qianqian: “…”

After a few rounds of accusations, Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran not only had an additional charge groundlessly leveled against them, but also the possibility that they were of capitalist origin.

So the nature of the matter changed again, and Weisheng and Pang Sihai, who were called in for questioning, were released first.

However, the village chief and the party secretary continued to stay there and communicate with the people in red sleeves about the issues of Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran.

Regardless of whether these two were plotted against, their actions outside the Red Sleeves compound were a disrespect to the Red Sleeves. If they were not severely punished, where would their dignity be?

As for the person behind the scenes, if he dares to use their red sleeves as a gun, they will definitely not let him go.

Now Weisheng has provided a new idea. Unless the identities of the two are thoroughly investigated, this matter will never be over.

Anyway, after the village chief and the party secretary tried their best and confirmed that they really couldn't take Ye Shao and the other two away, they left the Hongtaoxiu compound.

"There's something strange about this."

On the way back to the village, when they passed the wooden bridge where they fell into the water before, the village chief and the branch secretary looked at each other, and after getting off the bridge, they asked Weisheng about what happened yesterday again.

You really went back to the village with Ye Qianqian yesterday.

Weisheng nodded: "Yes."

Village chief: "Then think about it again, is there anything wrong?"

"Something's wrong?" Weisheng tilted his head, pretending to think. Two minutes later, he said to the three of them with an uncertain look, "Ye Qianqian came back from peeing and hurried back. She walked in a hurry and didn't even talk to me. Does this count?"

Pang Sihai narrowed his eyes slightly, and before the village chief or the Party secretary could say anything, he asked Weisheng, "Are you sure it was Ye Qianqian who went back to the village with you?"

Holding back his laughter, Weisheng looked at Pang Sihai with a puzzled expression, "If not her, who else could it be?"

Village Chief/Party Secretary/Pang Sihai: …They want to know too.

*

The scandal spread quickly in the town, and within half a day, all the men, women, and children in the village had heard about it.

In many people's minds, men and women are just like that. The event itself is not important; what is important is the parties involved in the event.

It turned out to be her and him!

Of course, after learning about these things, some people turned their attention to an angle that shocked Weisheng deeply.

Take Zhao Shumei, for example. She wasn't interested in those people and things that were just bullshit. Instead, she asked Weisheng, "Are they really using a bright red brocade quilt?"

A bright red, brocade quilt cover?

Weisheng: “…Yeah.”

Seeing Weisheng nod, Zhao Shumei slapped her thighs, "What a waste of such a good thing, it was ruined by two losers like this."

Weisheng: “…”

A few days later, just when the excitement was dying down, comrades from the town police station came to Xing'an Village.

Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran were also quick-witted. Although what happened that day was beyond their ability to bear, they came up with a way to deal with it a few days later.

At first, they obediently followed the instructions of the red sleeves and paraded through the town wearing a brocade quilt. When the parade passed by the town police station, the two looked at each other and rushed in.

They want to report the case!

So regardless of whether the Red Sleeves were willing or not, they had to hand the person over to the town police station first.

The town police station ignored Ye Qianqian and the others' pleas and gave them each a set of old clothes and two pairs of old cloth shoes that no one knew who had worn them.

With clothes to wear, the two men relaxed for a few days. Then they told the comrades at the town police station the confessions they had made up in the red sleeves word for word.

When they were in the hands of the red cuffs, they were always locked up together. Then, day and night, someone would sit not far from them and ask them to perform a piece.

Even shameless people like Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran couldn't stand that kind of humiliation.

But what they don’t know is that this may be an alternative cycle of cause and effect.

In the previous life, after Shao Xiu Ran married Zhang Zhang, Shao Xiu Ran moved to Zhang Zhang's house.

Since they were a legally married couple, it was perfectly normal for them to do things that only couples do. But Shao Xiuran was a complete hypocrite, and he had seen the world of pleasure, so he did his best to humiliate and abuse Zhang Zhang in bed.

Sometimes, what Shao Xiuran did was even more like marital rape.

People of this era were still relatively conservative, and Zhang Zhang was soft-hearted and shy, so even though she suffered a lot of injustice from Shao Xiuran, she never told her godmother and the others.

Occasionally, when the godmother and the others asked a question or two, Zhang Zhang would blush with shame. As time went by, Zhang Zhang had a child, and no one cared about their marriage and their discord anymore.

Now, a group of red-sleeved women, eager to watch the fun, ripped off the quilt covering their modesty and insisted that Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuwen perform for them again. Unable to bear the humiliation and unable to resist, the two felt no better than Zhang Zhang had before.

After this incident, the two of them suffered a complete psychological trauma. Ye Qianqian never dared to take off her clothes and shoes before sleeping, and Shao Xiuwen never "raised his head" again, and it was difficult for him to do so for the rest of his life!

~

Back in the present, the two still didn't dare to agree that Weisheng and Pang Sihai had framed them. Furthermore, at this point, they had no better way to save themselves than to immediately register for marriage. With no way to escape Weisheng, they naturally didn't want to let these two people go.

If it weren't for them, how could I have ended up in such a situation?

After receiving the report, comrades from the police station came to Xing'an Village.

When they arrived, Weisheng was in the village primary school, and Pang Sihai and the production team leader had gone to repair the canal under their responsibility.

When Pang Sihai rushed over, he saw Weisheng was there too. He nodded twice and then gave various instructions to the comrades at the police station.

Having said that, since returning from the town that day, Pang Sihai has treated Weisheng with a little more awkwardness and distance.

Whenever Pang Sihai thought about that morning when he appeared naked in the tractor bed, he felt a pang of fear. If no one had helped them, maybe he and Zhang Zhang would have been the ones in the tractor bed that morning, surrounded by the villagers.

Ignoring Pang Sihai's awkwardness and fear, Weisheng first recounted what happened that day and also gave his colleagues at the police station a very valuable suggestion.

You can check the origin of that quilt.

Weisheng: "...This is the first time I've seen brocade in my life. I think it must be very rare. If we carefully question Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran to see if they know anyone who could produce that kind of brocade quilt, perhaps this case will be solved."

By the way, the quilt Weisheng took out was from Hong Kong...

In this era, a quilt made of that material alone can eliminate 90% of the suspects, and if the Red Sleeves knew the direction of the investigation, they would be even more suspicious of their origins.

It can be said that Weisheng's move is not only misleading, but also trapping Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran.

Weisheng smiled when he thought of Ye Qianqian and Shao Xiuran hiding in the police station.

Unless you can hide forever...
