Chapter 76: She's got quite the nerve.
After slapping Lin Wanwan twice, Shen Yuzhu pulled Wang Liping away, followed by Qiao Wangshu and Liang Manxiu. Although they were confused, they figured there must be a reason why she did this.
So no matter how pitifully Lin Wanwan cried behind them, they didn't turn around.
"Waaaaah... Why? I'm a victim too! What happened to Yuzhu? Why did she hit me? I'm going to report this to the police! I'm going to report this to the police!"
As she spoke, she staggered forward, and Zhu Xinmei was terrified and grabbed her arm.
"I can't go."
Her voice was so loud that everyone turned to look at her in an instant.
"I mean, this matter can't be made public, Lin Zhiqing. This concerns the reputation of you educated youth. Although we don't know who drugged you, if this really causes a stir, where will we educated youth put our faces in the future?"
"That's true, people probably think our educated youth settlement is very chaotic!"
"I probably won't go. I've never even had a boyfriend. If word gets out, I'll be too ashamed to go out."
........
Wang Jinxing pushed up his glasses and turned to look at Feng Zhengyang and Yu Xiaolin. Although they were men, they were also victims in this matter.
“You all said you drank the water that Lin Zhiqing poured, so there must be something wrong with the water. I think we should report it to the police and let them investigate. Otherwise, if someone else falls for it later, it will be too late to regret it.”
Yes, water.
"Lin Wanwan, you say you're also a victim, but what about the water? We drank the water you poured out."
Lin Wanwan seemed frightened, her tearful eyes looking anxiously at everyone, shaking her head slightly, unwilling to say more.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? I kindly helped Wang Liping over here, and she even sprained her ankle while delivering pork stew to you. Can't you just tell me the truth?"
"Wanwan, tell me, we're all victims. We need to let everyone know who's really behind this!"
"No, no, don't force me, please don't force me..."
She staggered backward, and before she could even speak, Zhu Xinmei was already drenched in cold sweat and could barely stand.
At Shen Yuzhu's home, Wang Liping held a glass of water with trembling hands and drank several mouthfuls before she felt a little better.
Liang Manxiu and Qiao Wangshu exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Shen Yuzhu, whose face was dark and gloomy.
"Yuzhu, why did you hit Wanwan just now? Could it be her?"
"No way, she's a victim too. Besides, she's always been the most timid person; how could she possibly drug someone?"
Shen Yuzhu chuckled twice and looked at the three people, saying, "She's quite bold, she's just good at hiding it."
Wang Liping's breath hitched, and she looked at her abruptly.
"What...does this mean?"
“Manxiu said that you and Feng Zhengyang both drank the water she gave you, and she also happened to deliver water to Yu Xiaolin. It’s obvious that there’s something wrong with the water. Besides, before you went back, I went to see her and drank the water she gave me.”
"What?"
If it really was Lin Wanwan's doing, then wouldn't Yuzhu also... after drinking this water?
That damned bitch.
They treated her so well. Knowing that her family was poor, they always took her with them when they went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables. Even when Wang Shu went to prepare a banquet for someone, they refused other people and insisted that she go instead.
They had only been in the countryside for a short time, and their work skills were not as good as those of the older educated youth, let alone the members of the production team.
Even if you work your butt off, the maximum amount of grain you get at the end of the year is only a little over 700 jin (350 kg), and even less if it's ground into flour.
If we don't think of other ways, we simply can't get by.
The villagers had seen all sorts of lazy men who ate only one meal a day and were skin and bones from hunger. So, in order to make sure they had enough to eat, they would take any good food they could find on the mountain, even if she didn't go herself.
Looking at her, Wang Liping always thought of her younger sister at home, so sometimes when she got something delicious, she would give her some.
If it was really that bastard who did it, then she deserves to be torn to pieces.
"I threw up as soon as I stepped out of the door. It was very bitter and had a strong taste. I slept for a while and was fine, but when I woke up, I heard that Liping had an accident. It was only on the way that I realized the key to this. From now on, you should not have any contact with her. Let her do whatever she wants!"
"Are we just going to abandon her? Liping has suffered so much injustice. She's helped us the most during our long time in the countryside!"
Although they always use excuses like not wanting to meddle or fairness to justify their biased actions!
"We have no evidence. The important thing now is Liping, Comrade Wang Liping, you..."
"Qiao Wangshu, come out here! Come out here right now! Why did you hurt me? Why did you hurt me? I have no grudge against you!"
"Come out, you slut! We don't have a shameless thing like you in our educated youth settlement."
"He wanted to do something shameful, but ended up harming others instead."
......
Whenever Shen Yuzhu heard about people being summoned to gatherings, she couldn't help but think of a term she saw when she was a ghost in her later life: NPC.
She felt that the people shouting at the gate were NPCs.
Like a zombie in a movie, its brain has been eaten!
As the group exited the courtyard, they saw Lin Wanwan being pushed to the front, looking helpless, while the others either watched with amusement or harbored resentment and hatred.
When Qiao Wangshu left, Shen Yuzhu gave her several instructions, and now she felt extremely frustrated.
"Which bastard with sores on his feet is out in the world with such a foul mouth? Did you eat shit? What do you want from me?"
"You, Lin Zhiqing just said that the water they drank was poured from your thermos. Did you poison them?"
Yuan Mingcui encouraged everyone to come in order to solidify her position as administrator and also to teach Qiao Wangshu a lesson in front of Shen Yuzhu, thus putting an end to their arrogance.
"She's so young and her brain is already wasted on dogs. She said that the water she poured into my thermos was the drug I put in it. Why would I put drugs in myself? God, what would I do? Put drugs in my own thermos to poison the four of them? What, am I a shaman who knew that Lin Wanwan would drink my water?"
Everyone: "......."
You can't just spout nonsense! Feudal superstition is unacceptable!!!
"Fine, you suspect me? Then I'll go to the police station and say someone saw me putting drugs in my thermos to poison someone else, okay?"
"Wang Shu, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. Maybe, maybe I misunderstood."
"Smack!"
Lin Wanwan held her already swollen cheek, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes, which Qiao Wangshu saw and made her even angrier.
"You can even get this wrong? What are you living for? Go die! You drank my hot water without my permission, you thief, you dirty-handed thing. Stay away from me, just looking at you makes me want to vomit."
Lin Wanwan: "......."
No, this is completely different from what I expected!!!
