So the fence-sitters started pointing fingers at Wenxi again, thinking that since someone had seen it, it must be true.
"Jiaojiao, could you please call the police for me?" Wen Xi whispered Yan Zheng's phone number into Shen Jiaojiao's ear, then said to everyone, "Could someone please call Comrade Qian Qiusheng over? We need to confront him face to face and see who this bastard who ate Comrade Qian Qiusheng's egg really is."
Then a little boy responded and ran outside.
"No need to call the police, I'm already here." At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the canteen. Wen Xi hurriedly looked up and saw a tall man wearing a peaked cap and a police uniform walking towards the canteen. Beside him were Captain Qian, the captain of the Fengshou Brigade, and his deputy captain.
Seeing Yan Zheng's ashen face, Captain Qian was also very nervous, and even his forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
Captain Qian waved to Wen Xi, "Wen Xi, Director Yan is looking for you."
Wen Xi pinched her thigh hard, then her eyes reddened and hot tears fell. "Director Yan, I was just about to report this to the police. You've come at the right time. I want to report that Comrade Liu Youhong maliciously slandered and defamed my reputation, saying that I ate their eggs, but I didn't even see the eggshells. I don't know who ate the eggs and is framing me. I beg Director Yan to investigate this matter thoroughly and clear my name. I came to the countryside to support national construction, not to be framed or wronged."
Those who were initially enjoying the spectacle immediately changed their expressions when they saw Director Yan arrive, realizing there was no more entertainment to be had.
Especially Liang Zhaodi and Chu Wan'er, they originally wanted Wen Xi to suffer, but they ended up suffering themselves, and now they are having a hard time. They still want to see Wen Xi suffer!
"Comrade Wen, don't worry. Since you've already reported the case, we will naturally handle every case strictly." Yan Zheng felt particularly regretful. If he had come sooner, would Wen Xi have had to suffer so much?
Even an egg can make her feel wronged; I wonder how many grievances her team members have to make her suffer every day.
Yan Zheng turned to look at Captain Qian, whose heart skipped a beat. He immediately said to Liu Youhong, "Liu Youhong, why did you want Wenxi to eat your family's eggs?"
"I'm not innocent. Captain Qian, you can ask everyone if you don't believe me." Liu Youhong proudly raised her head. She had witnesses, so she wasn't afraid at all.
Under Captain Qian's stern gaze, someone said uncertainly, "One day I saw Qian Qiusheng carrying a basket. I asked him where he was going, and he said he was delivering vegetables and eggs to Wenxi."
"One night I even saw Qian Qiusheng delivering firewood to Wenxi! Don't you think those two are..."
Yan Zheng interrupted the man's subsequent speculations, asking directly, "Where is Qian Qiusheng? What is this person involved doing? Is he hiding somewhere like a coward?"
Qian Qiusheng walked out from behind Chen Dahua with his head down. "Police officer, Wen Xi didn't eat our eggs. I brought everything back and gave it to my mother. My second sister-in-law misunderstood."
"Wenxi returned the things to you, why didn't you say so? You caused us to misunderstand." The person who had just testified for Liu Youhong looked somewhat embarrassed; he had actually given false testimony for Liu Youhong.
"Since this is the truth, why don't you tell me? Why do you let your second sister-in-law frame Comrade Wen? Don't you know that this is a crime, that you'll go to jail for it? What ulterior motive do you have for putting Comrade Wen on the hot seat?" Yan Zheng glared angrily, his eyes looking as if he could tear Qian Qiusheng apart.
Before Qian Qiusheng could answer, Yan Zheng turned to Captain Qian and said, "Captain Qian, this family has wronged and framed our hero Comrade Wen. What are you going to do about it? If the outcome doesn't satisfy Comrade Wen and me, then we will handle this matter according to the law."
Captain Qian gave Liu Youhong and Qian Qiusheng a disgusted look, and then said, "Director Yan, when the team punished them, they deducted 200 centimeters from each of them and gave it to Comrade Wen as compensation. In addition, Comrade Liu Youhong will sweep pig manure for a year, and Comrade Qian Qiusheng will reclaim wasteland for a year."
Yan Zheng nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Wen Xi, "Comrade Wen, are you satisfied with this punishment?"
While wiping away her tears, Wen Xi nodded through sobs, "Thank you, Director Yan, for standing up for me. If it weren't for Director Yan coming today, they probably would have skinned me alive."
When Chen Dahua's family heard about the punishment, their faces lit up with joy. Chen Dahua hadn't expected that Qian Qiusheng's efforts to win over Wen Xi would end like this.
Liu Youhong felt a surge of hatred towards Chen Dahua, so she hurriedly said, "Director Yan, I am not the mastermind behind this. It is my mother-in-law. She deliberately misled me, saying that Wenxi ate our eggs but did not give a clear answer. She asked me to come and ask Wenxi for an explanation."
"Chen Dahua, you'll also have 200 centimeters deducted, and you'll have to sweep pig manure for a year!" Captain Qian was furious.
Everyone thought Chen Dahua was a good person, but they never expected her to be a big boss who was plotting behind the scenes.
"A clear answer?" Wen Xi clearly caught some strange words. "What answer? What kind of answer do they want?"
"My mother-in-law is encouraging my brother-in-law to pursue you. My brother-in-law has been pursuing you all along. Do you really not know that, or are you pretending not to know?" Liu Youhong sneered.
If I had agreed to marry Qian Qiusheng earlier, none of this would have happened today.
"Actually, I came to see Comrade Wen today because I have something to say. Some time ago, Comrade Wen saved me, but I haven't been able to visit her because I was recovering from my injuries. I came here today specifically to thank Comrade Wen and also to say that I will treat Comrade Wen like my own sister from now on, taking care of her and protecting her."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment. Wen Xi had actually saved Director Yan?
"If anyone wrongs, frames, schemes against, or bullies Comrade Wen again, then they are wronging, framing, or scheming against me. I hope everyone can behave properly and put your minds to good use. Instead of thinking about these things, you should think about how to earn more work points and how to educate your own children well," Yan Zheng said solemnly, looking around at everyone.
"Thank you, Brother Yan. If anyone bullies me again in the future, I will definitely go to Brother Yan and ask him to stand up for me." With Yan Zheng backing her up, these messy and annoying little things should not happen to her again.
The way everyone looked at Wen Xi had indeed changed; they all became cautious and careful, and some even had a fawning look in their eyes.
