At this moment, Widow Qi suddenly stood up and shouted, "Hmph! Stop thinking nonsense! Yesterday, Wu Sangui fainted in the street, and I beat him up! Who told him to dare to act like a hooligan in front of me in the street? I'm being lenient by not beating him half to death!"
Now that things have come to this, Widow Qi clearly no longer intends to cover up the matter for Wu Sangui.
She knew very well that she had completely lost face today, and who knew what those gossipy women in the village would say about her in the future!
Moreover, she was a widow, and life in this village was already difficult enough. This time, she was determined to make Wu Sangui take full responsibility for this matter!
When Huang Qiujie heard Widow Qi's frank and unreserved words, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Clearly, she had no idea that Widow Qi would so recklessly reveal the whole truth.
Huang Qiujie was taken aback at first, then slowly came to his senses and looked at Wu Sangui again, asking with a slightly puzzled tone, "Accountant Wu, did you accidentally offend someone? Or did you eat something strange before?"
At this moment, Huang Qiujie was racking his brains to find a reasonable explanation for Wu Sangui, after all, in his previous life, Wu Sangui had successfully become a city dweller in just one year.
Although he couldn't recall anything similar happening in his previous life, he was in a dazed and confused state at the time, so it was normal that he didn't know it even if it had happened.
Moreover, since he successfully became a city dweller in his previous life, he should be able to overcome this difficulty smoothly this time as well.
At this moment, I am the only one willing to stand up and speak up for Accountant Wu. If everything goes smoothly, he will definitely be grateful to me afterwards!
After hearing Huang Qiujie's words, Wu Sangui's heart stirred slightly, and the scene of waking up from his coma yesterday flashed into his mind—he had indeed felt extremely dizzy at that time, as if some important memories had been forcibly pulled out.
So he quickly explained, "That's right, just as Huang Zhiqing said, after I woke up yesterday, my head was always foggy. It felt like a blank area suddenly appeared in my brain, causing some key memory fragments to be inexplicably lost."
Upon hearing this, the captain's previously calm gaze suddenly turned extremely serious. He stared intently at Wu Sangui and slowly said, "This matter is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface. Our village has always been peaceful and tranquil, and we absolutely cannot tolerate such a bizarre situation. We must investigate this thoroughly and get to the bottom of the truth!"
Upon hearing the brigade leader's statement, the surrounding villagers exchanged bewildered glances. They couldn't understand what these people were talking about so mysteriously and in secret; the more they listened, the more confused they became.
Upon hearing this, Widow Qi flew into a rage, her eyes widening as she roared, "What kind of medicine can make someone just run around and hug people? Isn't this blatant indecent assault? Wang Qiujie, you're just a young girl who doesn't know anything, so don't spout nonsense here. Could it be that you and Wu Sangui have some shady dealings going on?!"
Huang Qiujie stared at Widow Qi in astonishment. Her delicate face flushed crimson, as if she had been deeply insulted. Her lips trembled slightly as she angrily said, "Aunt Qi, how could you say such awful things? I was just speaking the truth! I'm an innocent and upright young woman, and now you've slandered me like this. How can I ever face anyone again!"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Just then, the captain, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, finally stepped forward and said with a grave expression, "Why don't we get a doctor to take a look? Perhaps this man has really been given some kind of strange drug, which is why he's so out of control. After all, I don't really believe that Wu Sangui would do something so absurd for no reason. He's not stupid; how could he not know what it means to commit such a disgraceful act in public!"
However, Widow Qi wouldn't listen to the brigade leader's words at all. With her hands on her hips, she shouted resolutely, "No matter what, it's an undeniable fact that he hugged me. I have to get an explanation for this today! Otherwise, I will never let this go!"
She couldn't care less why Wu Sangui would do something so absurd! For her, the most urgent task was to find ways to gain more benefits and advantages for herself, and she absolutely couldn't let her future life become more difficult and miserable.
"That's right! I've lived most of my life and seen all sorts of strange things, but to think that just because someone says they want to eat something, they can get someone to hug a widow in the street is unheard of!" someone shouted.
"Hahaha, who says otherwise! This is the first time I've ever heard such strange and outlandish theories. I've really broadened my horizons today!" Another person chimed in, laughing so hard he almost fell over.
"Oh dear, Widow Qi, what exactly do you want to know? You don't actually want to marry Accountant Wu from our village, do you?" Someone took the opportunity to tease the widow who was being hugged in public.
