Chapter 146 Village Girl
Zhang Zhenglin took another puff of his cigarette, walked back and forth a few steps, then looked up and said to Xing Dongyang:
"The girl present is called Su Tong, right? I know you have some feelings for that girl, and I also know that Yaping is targeting her. Even if Yaping is really wrong this time, it was caused by her impulse because she couldn't get the love she wanted. I also heard that the girl is not simple, and there is nothing serious. She is spending the New Year at home just fine!"
"And the first thing she did when she woke up was to go to the police station and beat Yaping! Yaping's face is still swollen! The police didn't even pursue the matter, which at least let her vent her anger! We don't have to mention the fact that she beat Yaping, as long as she can give another testimony for Yaping, we will compensate her well after the matter is settled!"
When Xing Dongyang raised his head again, the corners of his eyes were already slightly red. He stared at Zhang Zhenglin and said word by word:
"Zhang Zhenglin, do you know that Zhang Yaping almost killed three people because of her 'impulsiveness'? Moreover, this is not the first time she has acted impulsively. Last time, she almost killed Su Tong! Su Tong's injuries have not healed yet! You want her, a victim, to write a statement of innocence to Zhang Yaping. Can you bring yourself to do that?"
Zhang Zhenglin did not say anything. He tilted his head, looked at Xing Dongyang carefully, and said:
"Tsk! Dongyang! Are you serious? You really like that village girl who was rejected three times!"
Xing Dongyang gritted his teeth and didn't respond.
Zhang Zhenglin continued, "That's what I told you! With your ability, how could it be so difficult to rescue someone? It turns out you just can't bear to go find that girl! Tsk! Dongyang, you are so naive! A country girl..."
Zhang Zhenglin just shook his head, seeming to find it incredible.
"I've long told you that we should go directly to Yunshan Village, but you insisted that going to Dongyang would be more effective! Now we're wasting our time!" Yang Juan said anxiously.
Zhang Zhenglin lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette, ignoring his mother. He walked back and forth a few steps, as if thinking about his words. After a moment, he continued:
"Dongyang! I know you have a strong sense of justice since you were young. We don't have to confuse right and wrong, but Yaping is my sister, I can't just stand by and watch her die. Moreover, this matter is very serious. If she is really convicted, even if she is only locked up for three months, her life will be branded and ruined!
Fortunately, the girl is fine. Letting her suffer a little and change her words can change Yaping's life. This is the safest and simplest way at present! I said, we will do our best to compensate you later! You have watched Yaping grow up since she was a child. Can you watch her be ruined like this? "
After saying this, Zhang Zhenglin threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. He looked up at Xing Dongyang, hoping he could express his opinion.
Xing Dongyang lowered his head and remained silent.
Yang Juan was so anxious that she tried to speak several times, but Zhang Zhenglin stopped her with his eyes. Then he changed his tone and continued:
"Dongyang! I have said everything I need to say! Let's not talk about what happened between you and my silly sister. Just based on the decades of friendship between our two families, I will not argue with you! I will go to Yunshan Village, brother! I won't embarrass you."
"But I still want to remind you that it's up to you to think and play in the countryside, but you're going back to the city soon, so you have to break up all these romantic affairs before you go back! Don't have those unrealistic dreams..."
Xing Dongyang felt filled with resentment and helplessness, his mind was in a mess. He understood what Zhang Zhenglin said, and he could think of the same solution as Zhang Zhenglin, but things couldn't be done this way. This world shouldn't only have human feelings but no justice...
But he lay there for a whole day and night because he knew clearly that if Zhang Yaping was convicted, her life would be ruined!
There is no way out for people who have committed crimes these days, let alone a girl in her early twenties, whose saliva alone can drown her...
Wait...Xing Dongyang suddenly felt that he had missed something...
He looked at Zhang Zhenglin, "What did you just say? I'm going back to the city right now?"
Seeing Xing Dongyang's clueless look, Zhang Zhenglin patted his head.
"Oh! That's right! The news probably hasn't come through yet. It's Chinese New Year and many departments are on holiday. It may take two days for the notification to come through."
"Please explain clearly what you mean?" Xing Dongyang asked word by word.
"It's just to inform you that you can return to the city soon!"
Zhang Zhenglin said, "I've called your home. You're not going to college, you're going to work directly. They said that the receiving unit has been decided, and you'll have to report after the Chinese New Year. I also heard about it from Uncle Xing yesterday. Didn't Uncle Xing have time to tell you? We came here this time to see if we can get Yaping back. If you leave, she will be alone, which makes us even more worried."
As Zhang Zhenglin continued to speak, Xing Dongyang's mind was in a state of confusion.
He knew that he would have to return to the city next year, but there was still at least half a year left, and he wanted to use this half year to get to know Su Tong better...
In the past few days, he became more and more certain of his feelings. He cared about Su Tong very much and wanted to take his relationship with her to the next level. If he could finalize the relationship before he returned to the city, he would take Su Tong with him, go back to the city together, take her away from this backward place, and start a new life.
But now, he said that he suddenly wanted to go back to the city!
This news caught him off guard. He was not mentally prepared at all. If he went back, then Su Tong...then was there still a possibility between him and Su Tong?
His father didn't have time to tell him, but he didn't want to make him more panicked and irrational at this critical moment.
"Alright! You can be happy for a while. We are going to Yunshan Village first. We can't delay this matter."
Zhang Zhenglin signaled Yang Juan to leave, and the two turned and walked out.
Xing Dongyang finally came to his senses and chased after him a few steps, "Wait a minute!"
Zhang Zhenglin and Yang Juan both turned around to look at him, and Xing Dongyang said in a hoarse voice:
"I'll go!"
Yang Juan opened her mouth to speak, but Zhang Zhenglin pulled her arm and said loudly:
"Okay, you'd better go! Here are the car keys!"
Xing Dongyang hastily put on a coat and shook his head, "I'll go by bike."
"Bicycles are so slow! Isn't driving faster?" Yang Juan couldn't help but say.
Zhang Zhenglin said, "That's fine! Be careful on the road! We'll be waiting for your news at the county guesthouse!"
Xing Dongyang didn't respond and walked towards the bicycle shed.
Go by car?
Isn't that ironic enough or mean enough?
Do you still want to drive a broken car to show off?
Yang Juan tugged at Zhang Zhenglin's sleeve and complained, "Why don't we go by ourselves? The sooner we go, the sooner we can finish it. Yaping is still waiting! I always feel that Dongyang is a little bit unfocused."
"Don't worry! Dongyang will do it now that he has agreed!"
Zhang Zhenglin crossed his arms and glanced at his mother, "Do you think that a village girl is easy to deal with? Do you have any other tricks besides throwing money and threatening you?
What would you do if you ran into a village girl who didn't like money but was too bold? "
