Wang Chunhua gritted her teeth, wishing she could gouge out all those suspicious looks.
She cursed him in her heart.
Are these people crazy?
I never did that, so why are you staring at me?
Do I have a thief's face?
Or is my name "Troublemaker"?
"Wang Chunhua, you really didn't do this?"
A middle-aged man frowned and asked in a low voice.
This woman always likes to use her cleverness.
Moreover, her gloating expression just now wasn't feigned.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunhua's face immediately turned dark.
She spat out a mouthful of saliva with a "pui" sound.
“I, Wang Chunhua, am never afraid of people knowing what I do! If I really want to take action, I will definitely go to their door openly and make a scene face to face. Why would I need to dig up the field ridges in the middle of the night? Am I crazy?”
Su Yueyue stood at the back of the crowd, her head down.
Hearing my mother's words, I immediately felt my face burning with embarrassment.
What is she trying to achieve by doing all this?
Isn't it all so that the family can live a better life?
She didn't believe that Su Mingdong's family would really be willing to donate all their wealth!
They must have hidden money.
It's just that it's well hidden and deeply concealed.
Moreover, although the authorities are cracking down hard right now, no one dares to show their face.
But once the storm passes, all of these things will have to be returned.
When the time comes, whoever is close to them will be the one to benefit.
Shen Wanshan spoke again, his voice rising slightly.
"Fellow villagers, let's be honest. It's time to plant the late rice, and the seasons wait for no one. Every day we're delayed means a smaller harvest. If anyone tries to sabotage us and makes us miss the planting season, we'll go hungry this year! How can we even talk about making a living if we can't even get enough to eat?"
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his voice growing increasingly somber.
"If you see anything, you absolutely must speak up, don't keep it to yourself! We're all from the same village, we see each other all the time, nobody wants to see anyone else suffer, right?"
When it doesn't concern them, people pretend not to see it.
I'd rather keep it to myself than cause trouble.
But if this happens to you personally, it's a different story.
Once anger is ignited, it will turn into a raging fire.
Su Yueyue glared at Shen Wanshan, her eyes filled with hatred that seemed about to burst forth.
Why did he suddenly say that?
She knew very well that food was essential for survival.
Taking away someone's grain is tantamount to taking away their life.
Anyone who dares to play tricks on this will immediately become the target of public criticism.
Su Qingzhi was also taken aback.
She originally thought that she would have to go through a few detours and let the atmosphere ferment for a while longer.
The truth is then revealed by a clue that appears "by chance".
But Shen Wanshan doesn't play by the rules.
With just one sentence, the whole situation was pushed to the brink.
She had been observing quietly just now.
When the village chief asked questions, the villagers all lowered their heads and shrank their necks.
Although they grumbled among themselves, no one was willing to step forward.
Why?
They were afraid of offending people and being retaliated against.
If no one was watching, she really wanted to give Shen Wanshan a thumbs up.
This old man's mind works faster than anyone else's.
"Village chief, I got up in the middle of the night last night and I really saw a figure."
Wang Dazhuang finally stepped forward.
He recalled going to the toilet in the middle of the night and catching a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing by on the edge of a distant field.
He didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking it was a stray dog.
But the path that shadow took was too strange.
They followed the ridges of the fields furrows, sneaking towards Wang Chunhua's house.
"Did you see who it was?"
Shen Wanshan frowned and asked.
"I noticed that guy was acting suspiciously, and he was walking with a hunched back, so I took another look."
Wang Dazhuang swallowed hard and lowered his voice.
"I saw him run towards Wang Chunhua's house, his movements over the wall were quite nimble, and he disappeared into the yard. It was too dark, and there was no moon, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt that his back looked somewhat familiar..."
He paused, then quickly added.
"I'm not saying you're from her family, but this needs to be clarified, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Chunhua again.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Wang Chunhua's face turned pale, and she yelled at Wang Dazhuang.
"I went to sleep as soon as I lay down last night and didn't even step out of the house! You saw a shadow in the middle of the night and you're trying to pin this on me?"
"Are you just bored and can't sleep, so you make up stories to scare people? Or have you been disliking me for a while and are taking this opportunity to settle a personal score?"
"I didn't name you!"
Wang Dazhuang also became famous.
"I told you that the guy went into your yard, what's it to you? Why are you so upset? Jumping so high, are you feeling guilty?"
He felt extremely frustrated.
If I hadn't actually seen it, would I have made up such a story?
"Village chief, Dazhuang really did get up last night."
His wife, Li Hongmei, chimed in at this point, her tone hesitant.
"I heard him take a long time to come back, so I asked, 'Why are you taking so long to pee?'"
She was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping, so she assumed he was just slow because he had drunk too much water.
But Wang Dazhuang lowered his voice and said.
“I saw some noises coming from Wang Chunhua’s courtyard wall. They were out wandering around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. It was really creepy.”
She didn't take it seriously and just replied casually.
"You must be seeing things. Go to sleep and stop being so paranoid."
After saying that, he turned over and continued to doze off.
She would have forgotten about it if it hadn't been brought up now.
"That figure... why does it remind me a bit of Su Yueyue?"
Wang Dazhuang frowned slightly, as if he was thinking carefully.
