San Gouzi was so angry at Grandma Tiezhu's words that his face turned red. He retorted loudly, his voice almost breaking the sky above the threshing ground.
"Why do you say that to me? I didn't say anything wrong. How do you know that what Su Mianmian said is true?" His voice was filled with anger.
At this time, Shen Yuandao stood up and glanced at him.
"I have evidence. I saw with my own eyes that Jiang Zhiqing was about to push Xiao Zhiqing Su."
However, San Gouzi looked unconcerned and snorted.
"You and Su Mianmian have such a good relationship, you must be on Su Mianmian's side."
His words were full of contempt and disdain, and he obviously did not believe what Shen Yuandao said.
Su Qingqing couldn't stand it any longer. She pointed at San Gouzi angrily and said:
"San Gouzi, are you sick? Jiang Jiao'er has been taken away by the police. What are you doing here barking like a dog?"
San Gouzi was completely enraged by Su Qingqing's words. He widened his eyes and roared:
"You bitch!"
After saying that, he was about to reach out and hit Su Qingqing.
However, his action was quickly stopped by Qin Huaichuan, who had been staying next to Su Qingqing.
Qin Huaichuan kicked San Gouzi and knocked him to the ground.
Qin Huaichuan glanced at San Gouzi and looked at him coldly.
"It's not a big deal for a grown man like you to hit a woman."
His voice was full of disdain and contempt, as if he was looking at an insignificant clown.
San Gouzi was stimulated by this scene. He struggled to stand up and prepared to fight with Qin Huaichuan.
Just as he was about to take action, the captain's angry voice was heard.
"San Gouzi, that's enough. How long are you going to make trouble? If you continue like this, get out of the Sanyang Brigade."
The captain's words immediately calmed down San Gouzi.
He knew that if he continued to make trouble, he might really be kicked out of the Sanyang Brigade.
He glared at Su Mianmian and the others fiercely, and prepared to leave the threshing ground in disgrace.
Su Mianmian looked at San Gouzi with a calm tone.
"San Gouzi, the public security comrades have already investigated everything. Are you questioning them here?"
There was a hint of sarcasm and warning in her words, which made San Gouzi feel a chill.
After hearing this, San Gouzi finally calmed down. He knew that there was no point in continuing to make a fuss.
"Sister Hongmei," Ruan Yin lowered her voice and whispered to Hongmei beside her, "Although San Gouzi is not a good person, he is really good to Jiang Jiaoer."
Bai Ning also echoed, "Yes, San Gouzi often helps Jiang Jiao'er with work and brings her food. This time when Jiang Jiao'er was taken away by the police, he was the first to stand up and speak for her."
The female educated youth nodded after hearing this. Some of them even began to discuss in a low voice, speculating about the relationship between San Gouzi and Jiang Jiaoer.
All this was seen by Wei Guoming who was not far away.
He was originally chatting with a few male educated youth, but after hearing the discussions of the female educated youth, an expression of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face.
He frowned and cursed inwardly, "These women are so idle that they only know how to gossip behind people's backs."
However, he did not get angry directly. He just walked aside quietly and pretended nothing had happened. However, the more he listened, the darker his face became.
The more San Gouzi defends Jiang Jiaoer, the more incompetent and cowardly he appears.
Seeing that San Gouzi had finally calmed down from his anger, the captain picked up the loudspeaker and shouted in a loud voice:
"Okay, stop gathering here and get to work! Time waits for no one, and this year's harvest depends on you."
When the villagers heard the team leader's words, they dispersed, returned to their own fields, and started to get busy.
Su Mianmian didn't take what happened just now to heart. She picked up the sickle and began to harvest the wheat with full concentration.
Su Qingqing stood aside, watching Su Mianmian busying around, and started cutting as well.
She always felt something was amiss when she thought about what happened yesterday.
"Mianmian, why do you think Jiang Jiao'er wants to harm you?"
Su Mianmian stopped what she was doing, looked around, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping nearby, she replied in a low voice:
"I found a black stone on Jiang Jiao'er. It gave me a very strange feeling. The piece of letter in my space might know something. But I was too tired when I came back yesterday and didn't have time to ask."
"You mean... Jiang Jiao'er harming you might be related to that black stone?" Su Qingqing asked with a puzzled look.
Su Mianmian shook her head. "I don't know either, but I always feel that the stone is unusual."
Su nodded lightly and said nothing more.
But she suddenly remembered what happened just now, and said with a gloating look on her face:
"Didn't you say Wei Guoming isn't Jiang Jiao'er's bootlicker? How come this time he's even worse than that second-rate bastard San Gouzi?"
Su Mianmian sneered.
"Wei Guoming is a man who only cares about personal gain. Before Jiang Jiao'er harmed anyone, she was pretty good-looking, delicate and frail, the type men like. Wei Guoming was naturally happy to flatter her and satisfy his vanity. But now that Jiang Jiao'er has committed a crime, a selfish person like Wei Guoming naturally wants to distance himself from her as soon as possible."
Su Qingqing listened to Su Mianmian's words and nodded.
………………*
During the lunch break, Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan went back home to cook, while Su Mianmian and the other two stayed under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air.
Su Mianmian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She greeted Yun Shu and Su Qingqing, then stood up and walked towards the back mountain of the village.
After arriving at the back mountain, she looked around and made sure that there was no one else. She was about to enter the space when she heard a faint voice.
