Shen Xiaobei ran out to find Ma Deliang, took back the physical evidence he helped find, and spread it on the table.
When everyone saw these things, they all asked her questions.
"Xiaobei, where did you get these things? What's going on?"
“Yeah, little sister Shen, these look like you picked them up from the mud, right?”
"This sweet potato must have been picked up from the mud. You can tell by the amount of mud!"
"Sister Huifang, Brother Deng, Xiaoli, these things were not picked up from the muddy ground, but from the river where we washed clothes."
To the three people who asked the question, Shen Xiaobei said calmly, then glanced at Kong Wanwan with a meaningful smile.
Kong Wanwan looked guilty, lowered her head and remained silent.
"Kong Wanwan, did you go out in the middle of the night last night?"
"Shen Xiaobei, what do you mean? Are you implying that I'm the thief who stole the food?"
"Well, isn't that you? Not only did you steal the food, but you were so wicked as to throw it all into the river and ruin it!"
"Xiaobei, don't just make such assumptions! Wanwan lives and eats with us, why would she do this?"
“Yeah, Sister Shen, how could it be that Sister Kong stole it?”
"Xiaobei, you and Wanwan don't get along, but you can't just accuse her! How could she get up in the middle of the night to steal food and throw it into the river so far away? She's usually afraid of even mice, right, Wanwan?"
"Sister Xiaobei, you guessed wrong, I don't believe it was Sister Wanwan who did it."
Everyone was speaking well of Kong Wanwan.
This was both unexpected and a little touching for Kong Wanwan, and it also made her feel more justified.
“Shen Xiaobei, you clearly saw that I snatched Wen Li away, and you have been jealous in your heart, so you deliberately used this matter to frame me!”
"I framed you? Fine, Kong Wanwan, since you're so stubborn and refuse to admit it even with all the evidence right before your eyes, I'm not afraid of making this a big deal!"
"I'll go directly to the county public security bureau to report the case and hand over all the evidence to the police. I'll have them, the professional crime solvers, come and investigate. I don't believe they won't be able to convict you."
"However, since we know each other, I'm not afraid to tell you in advance so that you can prepare for your notoriety! Not only do I have these physical evidence, I also have witnesses!"
"What, do you have any witnesses?"
"I'll only tell the police who the witness is. How could I reveal it to you? Anyway, don't even think about getting away with it this time. That person saw you sneaking to the river to dump the food in the middle of the night last night!"
"How is that possible? Who would be outside in the middle of the night?"
Kong Wanwan's neck was red, and her words of defense in a hurry revealed a flaw.
Everyone looked at her in disbelief, and she realized belatedly that she had said the wrong thing in her haste!
Isn't this tantamount to confessing one's guilt?
"Wanwan, did you really do this?"
"Little Sister Kong, how could you hurt us all like this?"
"Wanwan, what exactly happened? Did you really do it?"
"Sister Wanwan, how could you do this? There's food for you among those grains!"
…
Everyone blamed Kong Wanwan with a look of grief and sorrow.
Kong Wanwan wanted to argue, but she was really guilty and had no confidence. Shen Xiaobei was so confident, she thought, she might really have a witness.
If the police come to investigate, will she go to jail?
When she thought of the consequences, Kong Wanwan couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished blaming Kong Wanwan, and that a lot of the negative emotions in her heart had probably been vented, Shen Xiaobei continued, "Kong Wanwan, if you don't want others to know, then you must be the one who blames yourself!"
"If you can go out and throw away food in the middle of the night, then naturally someone will go out and look for food in the middle of the night. I won't keep you in suspense and just let you be a wise person."
"There were not just one but two people who saw you doing something bad last night. They were catching eels in a nearby field. They both knew you and the others, so they definitely wouldn't have mistaken you!"
Shen Xiaobei guessed that Kong Wanwan would not cry until she saw the coffin.
So he had to use this trick to force Kong Wanwan to admit it.
When Kong Wanwan heard what she said in such an orderly manner, she seemed to fall apart and slumped down on the stool next to her with a dejected look on her face.
"Wanwan, you're really going too far!"
"Yeah, Sister Kong, aren't you hurting others and yourself by doing this?"
…
Everyone began to blame Kong Wanwan again with great sorrow.
"Kong Wanwan, you're completely speechless now! I'm not so cruel that I won't be happy until I send you to jail."
"You still have a few options. One is to refuse to admit it. In that case, I will have to report it to the county public security bureau and have them arrest you. The other is to confess and turn yourself in directly to the public security bureau."
"Third, make amends for your mistakes by taking out the food coupons and money your family sent you and exchanging them for food for everyone else. I know you still have some money."
"Shen Xiaobei, you went through so much trouble just to force me to dig out my family's wealth?"
When Kong Wanwan heard the several options mentioned by Shen Xiaobei, she immediately stood up excitedly and asked sharply.
Compared with the five of them, Kong Wanwan does have some family background.
But she saved this little bit of money to secretly provide a snack for herself and Du Wenli.
Whenever it rained, or she didn't have to go to work, or when she really didn't have enough to eat, she would go to the brigade's agency store with Du Wenli and buy two steamed buns or a bag of biscuits.
