"Comrade Su Yueyue, shall we go to the main square together? I believe the village chief will give Dad an explanation."
Su Qingzhi's voice was light and cheerful.
She turned slightly to the side and made a "please" gesture.
Seeing Su Qingzhi's smiling face, Su Yueyue gritted her teeth and followed her.
In any case, she can't let herself collapse first.
Su Qingzhi looked at her like this and silently shook her head.
Some people become frighteningly blind when they become confident.
She lowered her eyes, concealing the sharpness in them.
The real contest has only just begun, and she's in no hurry.
She has plenty of time to wait for the other party to reveal their own weakness.
I just hope Su Yueyue can keep her mouth shut until the very last moment.
Su Mingdong leaned against the headboard, and even the slightest movement of his right leg sent shivers of pain through him.
He wanted to go with them, but the children stopped him as soon as he got up.
Zhouzhou tilted her little face up, her eyes sparkling.
"Grandpa, don't go! We want to stay and talk to you!"
Zhenzhen also hugged his arm, pouting and acting coquettishly.
He smiled helplessly and had no choice but to give up.
Shen Cunpu frowned, his expression grave.
She put on her coat and said in a low voice.
"I have to go and see her; I can't let Yueyue face this alone."
"Brother Chuan, you're still injured, don't get involved. I'll go with your wife and the others. I'll keep an eye on things if anything happens."
Shen Cunpu stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zhiyu's shoulder.
He could see clearly that Shen Zhiyu's face was pale and he was walking with a slight limp.
At times like these, it's really not a good time to go out.
Shen Zhiyu glanced at Su Qingzhi's departing figure.
Thinking about my own physique, I realize that in the past I not only couldn't help, but I might have even been a hindrance.
He gave a wry smile, finally dismissing the idea, and slowly took half a step back.
"Shen Cunpu".
Just as Shen Cunpu turned to leave, Shen Zhiyu called out to him.
"Brother Chuan?"
Shen Cunpu immediately stopped and turned around.
Shen Zhiyu's gaze fell on Su Yueyue's shoes.
They were cloth shoes, and the uppers were already somewhat worn.
A few dried mud spots were still stuck to the edges.
His eyes narrowed.
The ridges between the fields are slippery and muddy; if someone passes by, their shoes will inevitably leave marks.
Su Yueyue's shoes clearly showed signs of mud.
It was just hastily cleaned up.
Shen Cunpu looked in that direction and suddenly slapped his thigh.
"I understand!"
Last night he found several faint footprints by the ditch beside the paddy field.
The color and texture of the mud were exactly the same as those on Su Yueyue's shoes!
This is by no means a coincidence.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally saw the clues to the matter.
"Go ahead and keep an eye on your sister-in-law. Don't let her get into any trouble."
Shen Zhiyu whispered his instructions.
"rest assured!"
Shen Cunpu agreed readily and turned to chase after him.
Shen Zhiyu stood there, watching his wife's figure disappear into the alleyway.
He leaned against the door frame and caught his breath.
He dragged his injured leg and slowly made his way back into the house.
Mingyi also heard the news and rushed over in a flurry.
Seeing her son sitting there, she glared at him on the spot.
"Are you just going to let your wife go alone? The threshing ground is packed with people, what if she gets hurt?"
In her eyes, it was utterly outrageous for her son to stay at home while his daughter-in-law went out to run errands!
"Mom, I've asked Shen Cunpu to come along. My leg isn't fully healed yet, and if I really go, Qingzhi will have to take care of me too."
Shen Zhiyu sighed helplessly.
"Have you forgotten that I still have injuries?"
He raised his hand to rub his temples and explained in a low voice.
Mingyi was taken aback and said awkwardly.
"Alright, you rest, I'll go take a look."
Yes, her son's leg injury hasn't healed yet; how could she have forgotten?
She scratched the back of her head, gritted her teeth, and turned to walk out.
He muttered to himself as he ran.
"We can't let Qingzhi suffer. At this critical juncture, I have to step in and support her!"
When Su Qingzhi arrived at the threshing ground, villagers had already gathered in twos and threes.
Shen Wanshan was already standing in the center of the threshing ground early in the morning.
His face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he stood ramrod straight.
Before long, some impatient villagers couldn't resist crowding around.
While picking at the rice in his bowl, he asked in a low voice.
"Village chief, what's wrong? Why did you call everyone here in such a hurry? We haven't even swallowed our food yet! Has something happened?"
"Yeah, what happened?"
Another person chimed in.
"They didn't even give us a definite answer; we thought our house was on fire!"
Everyone was filled with anxiety and speculation.
Calling so many people out of nowhere is something that has never happened before in this small village.
Maybe something really serious has happened.
Everyone formed a circle, their faces filled with doubt and unease.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Shen Wanshan gave a wink to Shen Laowu, who was standing to the side.
Shen Laowu understood and quietly went around to the sidelines to count the number of people.
He returned a moment later and casually made a "everyone's here" gesture.
Shen Wanshan then slowly nodded.
He took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly.
"Stop talking! Be quiet! Listen to me!"
Upon hearing this, the room fell completely silent.
All eyes turned to Shen Wanshan.
Suddenly, people noticed that the person standing next to Shen Wanshan was Shen Cunpu.
But doesn't he work at the police station in the county town?
Why would they appear in the village at this time?
Moreover, he was still tightly clutching a handful of soil in his hand.
Now, everyone was even more confused.
