Chapter 48
Before Zhai Hongyi opened his mouth, Wang Heizi, his staunch supporter, jumped up.
"If you are confused for a moment, you can accuse someone of cheating, and if you are confused for a moment, you can steal things. If you kill someone in the future, is it still a moment of confusion?!"
Tang Xingqiang also came out and shouted, "If you have the guts to do something bad, you have the guts to admit it! You are so bad and cruel, and even more disgusting!"
Wang Heizi: "You guys care about him so much, okay, next time there's a quota, you just forgot about them!"
Tang Xingqiang: "The scorekeeper has recorded fewer points for you. If you have the guts, don't pursue the matter!"
Wang Heizi: "You feel so sorry for him, are you thinking of doing the same thing in the future to pave the way for yourself?"
Tang Xingqiang: "The sound of the abacus was so loud that people from the next-door brigade could hear it!"
The two children sang in unison, scolding those who sympathized with Li Zhiyi so much that they retreated back with red faces.
Zhai Hongyi reached out, grabbed the two children by the back of their collars, and gently led them backwards.
The two children seemed to be still not satisfied with the scolding, but they did not say anything else.
This group of educated youth were usually very opinionated. I thought that the country folk were crude and thoughtless, and I had long wanted to give them a good scolding. This time I finally got the chance.
Zhai Hongyi glanced at the educated youth and said, "Who else thinks I should not pursue this?"
At this time, no one stood up, and everyone quietly moved away from the person who had just spoken.
Tang Xingqiang and Wang Heizi sneered at the same time, their faces full of mockery.
Some educated youth felt humiliated and was so embarrassed that they could not say a word after being confronted by two country kids. So they stood up again.
"We should let him off the hook. We are not saying we won't punish him. We can criticize and educate him. There is no need to take him to the police station."
Zhai Hongyi had a blank expression on his face. "Who else thinks so?"
Maybe because someone stood up, some people were no longer afraid.
Several people who usually had a good relationship with Li Zhiyi or disliked Zhai Hongyi stood up.
"Anything else?"
After there was no more movement, Zhai Hongyi spoke again:
"Since you are so magnanimous, you should say that you are willing to share the responsibility with Li Zhiyi. Okay, I will not pursue his slander against me. As long as you can be united as you are now, and give up your places in the city and the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
As soon as these words fell, those educated youth all jumped up.
"On what basis!"
"Zhai Hongyi, you are too mean!"
"If you don't want to, then don't want to. Why are you pretending to be so generous?"
Zhai Hongyi smiled and said, "Why? Do you feel the pain now? If I were wronged, the punishment I would receive would be much heavier than this!"
Some people still couldn't help but mutter: "Aren't you okay?"
"I'm fine now, and so is he. Can you guess if there's another opportunity like this in the future, will anyone follow suit and take the risk? There's no punishment anyway, just say sorry and you're done, and you can still eat a chicken. Don't even mention compensation, will anyone be willing to sell it? How is this any different from forced buying?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the educated youth all looked unhappy, especially those who felt that they had performed well and should be given the opportunity to return to the city.
"You think you can't go back to the city, so you deliberately stir up trouble to make life difficult for others and make our educated youth group chaotic. The organization will never give you quotas in the future. Don't expect others to be well off if you are not well off yourself!"
The educated youth were suddenly in an uproar. Some of them did not pay much attention to the first words, but the second words touched everyone's heart.
If this really happens, there will be no hope for their lives. They finally started to get nervous.
Zhai Hongyi had a sarcastic and sinister look on his face.
The captain shook his head when he saw this and asked the militia to take Li Zhiyi away and escort him to the police station.
Before leaving, the captain said sternly to the educated youth:
"People who do wrong must be punished. This is not only to explain to the victims, but also to warn everyone that some things should not be done. Even if Zhai Zhiqing agrees not to pursue the matter today, we can't just let it go. You are all educated people, think about the reasoning behind it carefully."
After the team leader and his group left, Zhai Hongyi walked into the educated youth site, packed up his things in a hurry, rolled up his quilt and bedding, and walked out carrying a large bag.
Wen Xuelan saw this and immediately became anxious: "Comrade Zhai Hongyi, what are you doing?"
Others also spoke up: "Those were just the opinions of a few people. We all support your ideas."
"Yes, and the truth becomes clearer as we discuss it. Aren't we here to learn from each other? If there are things we can't figure out, we can just talk it out. There's no need to leave the group because of this, right?"
As the team leader, Tian Hongsheng also said, "Comrade Zhai Hongyi, we sincerely apologize to you."
Wang Heizi went forward to help Zhai Hongyi get some odds and ends, muttering:
"Forget it. Living here is so dangerous. I am wrongly accused and asked to do this and that. What's the point?"
Tang Xingqiang refused to give in: "That's right! Who wants to stay in a shit hole when they haven't taken a shit yet are covered in shit?"
The educated youths' faces turned green. Why did this kid deserve a beating so much?
Tang Qingqing didn't want to make things awkward, so she said, "Zhai Zhiqing wants to get to know the poor farmers better and help them, so he plans to live and eat with them. This way, he can better understand what we think and need, and he won't steal the farmers' chickens just for a quota, and he won't think it's a big deal."
These words made everyone look uneasy. Tang Qingqing and her group didn't care what the educated youth thought and followed Zhai Hongyi away.
Zhai Hongyi had wanted to move in and live with Old Liu before, and he even repaired the cave next door so that it could be lived in after a while.
Although living in the mountains is not very convenient, it is relatively quiet and you can have your own room.
At the educated youth camp, there were seven or eight big men lying on one kang. Not only was it crowded, but some of them snored and grinded their teeth. There were also some who had no hygiene and did not wash their feet before going to bed. Once they took off their shoes, the stink would make you pass out.
Zhai Hongyi had always been very disgusted with it, but he still held on for the sake of that little bit of collectivist spirit.
Tang Qingqing knew that he was not as cold as he appeared, nor was it that he did not want to get along with these educated youth, but that they just had no common ground and could not talk to each other.
Now that this has happened, Zhai Hongyi finally made up his mind to leave.
Tang Qingqing was very happy because as Master got older, his legs and feet became more and more inconvenient.
He lived far away, and if anything happened, no one would hear him even if he called out.
Tang Qingqing would feel more at ease if there was someone to take care of her.
Old Liu was not surprised to see Zhai Hongyi carrying so many bags. Instead, he took out a dozen eggs and a piece of bacon and asked Tang Qingqing to fry them all.
Although it was not explained clearly, I guessed that the old man was congratulating Zhai Hongyi on his relocation.
Ever since Zhai Hongyi started cooking at Old Liu's place, he has had a full supply of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. He often goes to the black market and brings back a lot of good things.
Tang Qingqing fried garlic pork, tomato eggs, smashed cucumber and shredded cabbage, while Zhai Hongyi steamed the steamed buns.
Zhai Hongyi's hands were strong, so he kneaded the dough even harder.
The white flour was also brought back by Zhai Hongyi from outside, and the quantity was quite large, so they could eat it every day.
However, both Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi have huge appetites now. Even Tang Qingqing is a big eater now, so every meal has to be accompanied by mixed flour steamed buns or steamed sweet potatoes.
They were not yet able to afford to eat white flour steamed buns as much as they wanted, but they were already better off than many other families in the brigade.
It was Tang Xingqiang's first time to visit Old Liu's house, and this time he followed along, and Tang Qingqing did not stop him.
After arriving at Old Liu's house, he became particularly sensible and helped to light the fire, clear the table, etc. He was busy all the time, fearing that he would be driven away if he was idle.
When Tang Xingqiang smelled the fragrance of the food and saw the food on the table, he suddenly felt that his busyness was worth it.
When Tang Qingqing invited him to eat, Tang Xingqiang pretended to be nice for a while and said that he didn't want to eat anymore and wanted to go home.
Tang Qingqing could see his little thoughts, "Come and eat quickly, your saliva is almost forming a puddle, why are you pretending?"
Wang Heizi, who had been at odds with him before but now considered himself an adult and no longer bothered with a little brat, also said:
"You performed well today. Come over here and join us."
As the host, Old Liu also expressed his welcome, and Zhai Hongyi directly stuffed a white flour steamed bun into his hand. Only then did Tang Xingqiang happily go to the table.
Taking a bite of the steamed bun, Tang Xingqiang squinted his eyes happily.
He stretched out his chopsticks and was about to pick up the bacon, but then he remembered something and quickly turned around and only picked up the garlic sprouts.
If it were at the Tang family, Tang Xingqiang would have picked up the meat at the fastest speed, otherwise there would be nothing to eat.
Not only are the three brothers in their family better at snatching things than the other, but Tang Jianjun is not the kind of person who would give everything to his children. Instead, he takes advantage of the fact that he is an adult and snatches things even more fiercely.
Old Mrs. Wu felt sorry for her grandchildren, but her favorite was her eldest grandson, Tang Xingwang, so she also helped him pick up food.
At most, Zhao Dahua would not compete with the children - if they pinched the same piece of meat, she would let go, but her own speed was not slow either.
Every time the food was served, it was like a starving ghost being reincarnated. A group of people would quickly eat the best food on the table first, and then move on to the salted vegetables and other worthless things.
But here, no one was rushing to eat. Although everyone was eating pretty fast, there was no scrambling. They just ate faster.
Tang Xingqiang is not very old, but this can still be seen.
He could only suppress his desire to eat meat and dared not go too far, otherwise his sister would not take him with her anymore.
He just saw Tang Qingqing helping Old Liu scoop a large spoonful of tomatoes and eggs into his bowl, with more eggs than tomatoes.
Old Liu was still not happy: "I have my own hands, I don't need your help."
王黑子：“你可拉倒吧，你有手可你的手抖，只會夾西紅柿。臘肉你又啃不動，就得多吃雞蛋。”
翟弘毅沒說話，只是又舀了一勺雞蛋給老劉頭，西紅柿都快找不到了。
看到這一幕，唐興強自然明白這裏是跟家裏不一樣的，彼此都比較謙讓。
正想着，一塊臘肉落到了他的碗裏，唐興強還以為是唐青青，沒想到是翟弘毅。
唐興強瞪圓眼，沒想到一向冷漠的翟弘毅竟然會給他夾肉。
“想吃什麽就夾。”
聲音平靜沒有起伏，可唐興強都快感動哭了。
王黑子則給他舀了西紅柿雞蛋，雞蛋多西紅柿少：
“你今天說了公道話，是好樣的。要是還跟以前那麽熊，別說一塊吃飯，院子都不讓你進。”
作為已經改正的曾經熊孩子，王黑子面對唐興強特別地有底氣。
王黑子自認自己雖然不怎麽聽話，卻不像唐興強那麽讨人嫌。
小小年紀成天就想着怎麽占人便宜，騙別的小孩嘴裏的糖吃，跟他這種只是調皮了點的人完全不同。
不過今天看他這麽賣力，王黑子決定暫時不計前嫌，不過要是下次還看到他騙人，他的拳頭照樣不客氣落下去。
唐興強重重點頭，斬釘截鐵道：“我一定向組織靠攏！”
“趕緊吃吧。”唐青青道。
唐興強這才開始一邊啃饅頭一邊吃碗裏的肉和雞蛋，幸福得腿都要抖起來。
這才是人過的日子啊！
“姐，你的手藝也太好了，咋在家裏沒見你做飯啊？”
唐興強吃得肚兒圓，躺在炕上拍着圓肚皮，感到異常的滿足。
他們家的飯菜和這裏的飯菜相比，簡直連豬食都不如。
不僅是沒有葷菜的關系，就是手藝不行。
唐青青道：“你沒看我做一次飯菜放多少油，想要好吃就得油大，你覺得我在家能這麽做嗎？”
唐興強一想，握拳發誓道：“我以後要是發財了，就買一屋子的油和肉，我看誰還敢說怕不夠吃。”
偷雞的事雖然查清楚了，可姜佩娥的案子還不知道是什麽情況。
大隊長從派出所回來後 ，唐青青去找大隊長詢問情況。
“李志毅承認自己偷了雞，并且是故意要嫁禍給翟弘毅的，但是拒不承認侵犯了姜佩娥。”
李志毅是有預謀的，他知道唐青青可以根據足跡查人。有人家要是被偷了東西，肯定會讓唐青青去幫忙找回來。
所以他才想出了這麽個計策，只是沒想到唐青青不單純只看鞋印，也就把自己給暴露了。
可審訊時，詢問他是否還幹了別的事，他就死不承認了。
只說自己就是為了陷害翟弘毅，想讓他失去工農兵大學的名額，哪裏會去幹別的事。
“他就是個嘴硬的，之前抓到他他也不承認。侵犯婦女的罪更嚴重，肯定更不會認罪了。”
偷雞只要賠錢，事就不大。
至于誣陷翟弘毅，由于沒有造成實際上傷害，所以也不會處罰太嚴厲，只不過以後檔案不好看，以後就算回城了難以找到工作。
在大隊中，各種先進分子的屏蔽，肯定也是再無希望。
可基本上也僅限如此了，帶過去關不了多久，更多是批評教育為主。
可侵犯婦女案就不一樣了，這是惡性犯罪，受到懲罰的力度完全不是一個量級的。
大隊長卻是不認同：“那你就小瞧張所長了，他是個老公安了，在他的審訊下很少有人能守得住的。就算有人死鴨子嘴硬，張所長也能看出來。”
唐青青皺眉：“您的意思是，侵犯姜知青的人，不是李志毅？”
“張所長說這種可能性非常大，不過還得進一步調查。他也派了人過來查探現場情況，看能不能有什麽其他發現。”
“我一會繼續去勘察情況的，看能不能發現什麽線索。”
大隊長卻道：“這個案子你就別管了，張所長他們會查清楚的。”
唐青青感覺到不對勁，“咋了？為啥不讓我參與？”
“不是不讓，只是這個案子不适合你一個小姑娘摻和。”
唐青青不服氣：“憑啥這麽說。”
大隊長深深看了她一眼，唐青青立馬反應過來了。
“這有啥，查清楚咋回事才是最重要的。”
大隊長也希望查明究竟，他看唐青青态度堅定，也就揍她去了。
可是唐青青反反複複勘察了好多回，都沒有找到什麽可疑線索，這讓唐青青很沮喪。
被派下來調查的公安笑着搖了搖手裏的紙袋子：“你放心，不會讓壞人跑掉的。”
紙袋子裏裝的是兇手用來砸姜佩娥腦袋的石頭。
“這塊石頭能查出什麽呢？”
“這塊石頭是那個兇手抓過的，很可能會留下指紋。指紋具有唯一性，也就是說每個人的指紋是不一樣的，找到了指紋想找到兇手就不難了。”
唐青青也知道指紋的特殊性，所以大家在簽契約之類的時候，不會寫自己名字的，都會按下自己的大拇指。
“可是石頭上啥都沒有啊。”
她之前也是看過那塊石頭的，除了姜佩娥的血跡，其他什麽都沒有看到。
“只要手觸碰過，就會留下痕跡，只是咱們肉眼看不見，需要用特殊的辦法讓它們呈現出來。”
唐青青覺得神奇極了，很想搞清楚是怎麽一回事。
“哥，我要是摸了個東西，是不是上面就有了我的指紋？就算我看不見，其實也是有的？”
翟弘毅點點頭：“嗯，人的手上有汗液、油脂等，只要觸碰了其他東西，都會留下痕跡。”
“那用什麽樣的辦法，能讓這些指紋呈現出來呢？”
“指紋留在不同物體上，所需要的辦法也就不一樣，我知道的有一種辦法叫做熏染法，是利用碘蒸氣将紙張上的指紋呈現出來。”
唐青青沒想到翟弘毅還真的知道，一臉崇拜地望向他：“哥，你懂得好多啊！”
“這是化學知識，等你上了高中，如果學校有條件就能做相關實驗，不是什麽大不了的事。”
“化學？那是什麽啊？”
“化學就在分子、原子層次上研究物質的組成、性質、結構與變化規律；創造新物質的科學，是一種自然科學。①”
唐青青覺得每個字她都知道，怎麽拼在一起跟天書一樣。
“哥，我聽不明白。”
“這是一門很有趣的學科，那些化學實驗非常地神奇，上了初中就會開始學習。等你開始學了之後，就會知道其中的奇妙。”
翟弘毅想了想又道，“你們這裏以前有沒有聽說過斬小鬼和熱油取物啊？”
唐青青還沒說話，一旁的唐興強先出聲了：“我知道我知道，我奶之前還偷偷去找神婆斬小鬼呢！”
說完又趕忙捂住嘴，這要是傳了出去，他奶奶就要被抓起來鬥了。
這是搞封建迷信啊！
吳老太雖然對他沒有對大哥那麽好，卻也還是很不錯的，唐興強也不希望自己奶奶出事。
王黑子：“啥，剛才風太大，我沒聽清楚，你剛才說了啥？”
唐興強連忙改口：“我剛剛說我好像以前也聽老人說過有這樣的事，可把我給吓壞了！”
唐青青忍住才沒笑出聲來，這兩個孩子一個比一個機靈。
翟弘毅忍俊不禁，又繼續說道：
“這些都是利用化學原理進行坑蒙拐騙的，什麽斬小鬼，熱油中取物都是胡扯，誰都能做。”
王黑子和唐興強的眼睛都亮了起來，王黑子跟翟弘毅更熟悉，連忙拉着翟弘毅道：
“毅哥，你啥時候也露一手呗。”
唐興強：“毅哥，你要是會這兩招，能賺老多錢了！”
幾個人的目光刷刷射向唐興強，唐興強抖了抖，整個人像個鹌鹑一樣。
唐青青嚴厲批評道：“唐興強，坑蒙拐騙是錯誤的行為，君子愛財取之有道，咱們絕對不能幹這樣的事。”
王黑子：“世界上有這麽多賺錢的辦法，你怎麽就盯上騙人這種會被人抛祖墳的事幹呢。”
翟弘毅雖然沒說話，可眼神裏的壓迫感，讓唐興強心裏很是害怕。
害怕其實還是其次的，他很擔心自己會被這個小群體給排擠走。
唐興強現在是仗着自己是唐青青弟弟的身份，死賴着跟着他們一塊。
他人小又做不了太多貢獻，每天都很擔心被抛下，他是真的很想跟三人組混在一起。
如今要說十裏八鄉最風光的人是誰，那必須是三人組。
“我，我，我沒有騙人的意思。”唐興強耷拉着腦袋，吓得直哆嗦。
唐青青：“你最好別再有，否則以後就甭想跟着我了。”
唐興強的腦袋點得跟小雞啄米似的，“姐，你放心，我絕對不會幹那些事的！”
翟弘毅道：“如果有機會，我會給大家表演的，到時候讓大家都過來瞧瞧，以免以後會上當。”
“其實原理很簡單，就是利用化學反應，蒙騙不知情的人。那些不是巫術，而是科學。”
王黑子好奇極了：“那是咋做出來的啊？”
“斬小鬼，其實是江湖術士提前把黃紙預先處理，用幹淨的毛筆蘸着堿水，在黃紙上畫出這些小鬼的圖案。晾幹以後就跟普通黃紙一樣。然後噴上姜黃水就會發生反應，呈現出血紅色的圖案。至于熱油中取物，那些油裏放入硼砂，又或者放入醋，看着好像油已經沸騰了，實際上油溫并不是熱的。
還有火燒妖怪、口嚼鬼骨，其實都是利用化學知識搞出的把戲，忽悠不知情的人民群衆罷了。所以為啥要反封建迷信，就是因為很多都是騙人的。”
翟弘毅說得清楚，可大家沒有親眼見到，都感到好奇極了，都想試一試能不能成。
唐青青、王黑子和唐興強看着翟弘毅都是一臉崇拜。
翟弘毅也不禁有些得意，很享受這種被人崇拜的感覺，也就忍不住抖了起來。
“黑子，之前你不是覺得我劈磚很厲害嗎？其實你也可以做得到。”
王黑子瞪圓眼，“啥？我？”
“劈磚用到了物理知識，回頭我找到磚，教你試一試，就知道其實很多事沒有那麽神奇。”
王黑子和唐興強異口同聲地吼道：“這很神奇啊！”
唐興強眼睛亮晶晶的，明年他就要上學了，原本以為就是去學識字和算數，沒想到還有這麽多有趣的！
“上學可真好啊。”
唐興強：“我都不知道上學還能學這些，也太有趣了吧。要是當時教這些，我也不會不學了。”
“還沒學會走路就想跑呢？等你們把小學的基礎知識學會了，再學這些才能更好地理解。”
幾天過後，唐青青沒有再聽到關于案子的消息。
她知道在破案過程中，很多消息都是保密的，雖然她也算是其中一員，卻也沒有多問，想着等事情結果出來，她自然就會知道了。
唐青青剛放學，唐興強就沖了過來。
“姐，有大事！”
“啥事啊？”
唐興強一臉神神秘秘地将唐青青拉到沒人的地方：“姜佩娥姜知青被公安帶走了。”
“啊？”
唐青青第一反應就是罪犯找到了，讓姜佩娥去指認。
可想想又不對，姜佩娥沒看清對方是誰，也就沒法指認。
姜佩娥這段時間一直沒有回知青點，大隊長雖然找了借口解釋，可很多人都感到了異樣。
有的人甚至以為大隊長的兒子要娶姜佩娥，一時間流言四起。
“姐，你之前查的案子是跟姜知青有關吧？”
別人不知道，唐興強卻知道，唐青青之前查的案子可不是什麽偷雞案，是其他案子，只不過正好撞到一塊了。
唐青青沒說話，唐興強也不用她回答，這種事一猜就知道咋回事了。
遮遮掩掩的，肯定就是不好對外說的。
“公安為啥把姜知青帶走了？”
唐興強也不清楚，他只是得到消息就趕緊過來通知唐青青。
唐青青去找大隊長，大隊長嘆道：
“這事啊，可能跟咱們想的不一樣，不過到底怎麽着，還是等派出所那邊的消息吧。我現在說，萬一不是那回事，不大合适。”
唐青青鬧不明白這是什麽情況，怎麽搞得神神秘秘的。
現在大隊裏已經有人開始議論，為啥姜佩娥被公安帶走了，不知道她犯了什麽事。
派出所就那幾個公安，他們雖然沒有穿警服，可大家都是認識的。
姜佩娥被帶走的時候是很排斥的，可後來還是被強硬帶走了，婦女主任也跟着一塊去了。
大家都覺得這事很蹊跷，現在猜什麽樣的都有。
唐青青正打算去師父家的時候，被突然冒出來的桂花嬸拉到了一邊。
“桂花嬸，怎麽了？”
桂花嬸左顧右盼，看沒有人這才低聲道：
“青丫頭啊，派出所讓我保密，我不敢跟外人說，可我這一肚子的話不說我憋得慌。”
“桂花嬸，你是不是知道什麽啊？”
桂花嬸拍大腿：“青丫頭啊，我覺得我可能被人耍了！我現在心裏那火氣蹭蹭的，可又不敢跟人說，也怕萬一搞錯了，這傳出去也不好。
你也知道你桂花嬸話是多了點，可絕對不是那種喜歡胡亂說人閑話的。”
“桂花嬸，你有啥話可以跟我說，我保證不會傳出去的。”
“我也是這麽想的，而且我就只有你能說道說道了。”
桂花嬸拉着唐青青到一個沒人的小山頭，她跟地下黨接頭似的，特別地小心。
她很會挑地方，坐的地方能看清楚四周情況，誰想躲着偷聽都不成。
唐興強原本就這麽打算的，結果他那麽小的個頭也被發現了，被桂花嬸毫不留情地趕走了。
确保四周沒人，桂花嬸這才開口：
“青丫頭，我覺得我們都被姜佩娥姜知青給耍了！”
唐青青睜大眼：“啊？”
“我之前就覺得不對勁，可姜知青那樣子，我還以為是我心壞。可今天派出所的人下來，我這才肯定不是心壞懷，是她會裝！”
“啥個情況啊？我怎麽聽不明白了。”
“你是個大姑娘你不知道，也看不出來究竟。我當初把姜佩娥那女人救上來，還帶着她換衣服，就覺得她身上這麽幹淨有些不對勁。可我也沒怎麽多想，估摸那人就不行就不想折騰。”
唐青青聽得稀裏糊塗的，桂花嬸也沒往深裏解釋：“哎呀，以後你嫁人了就知道了，現在跟你說你以後也有個底。”
桂花嬸說完，可能也覺得這樣好像不太好，又道：
“你不嫌桂花嬸這張嘴是個沒把門的吧？”
“哪能啊，桂花嬸我可不是普通的小姑娘，這些事沒必要避諱。”
桂花嬸舒了一口氣，“我就知道你不一樣，所以才敢跟你說。”
“嬸兒，你剛才的意思是，你覺得姜知青沒有被那什麽？還是個大姑娘？”
“嗯，你桂花嬸可是個有眼力見兒的，一瞧就知道咋回事。不過我想着，一個大姑娘家，不能拿自己的清白開玩笑吧，這以後可怎麽做人？雖然她不是咱們這的人，以後回去了就什麽事沒有了，可也不能這麽着啊。”
“嘿！沒想到，就能這麽着了！”
唐青青還是有些不可置信，“桂花嬸，你會不會看錯了啊？”
“我倒希望是我看錯了，要不然我不得氣死。雖然那條河的河水不深，可也是能淹死人的。我當時救她的時候，也是被拽得喝了好幾口水，難受了我好幾天呢！”
桂花嬸很是氣憤，她能把人救上來，那點事她也不覺得有什麽。
畢竟是一條命，喝幾口水又怎麽了。
可要是整件事是個套，那她就覺得自己虧死了。
“我一開始看這姑娘可真是可憐啊，我也是有女兒的，跑這麽大老遠被這麽欺負，咱們不得多關心。”
唐青青點點頭，這段時間桂花嬸确實一直都在照顧姜佩娥。
桂花嬸也不容易，上有老下有小的，每天也很忙碌。
可姜佩娥這邊只認她，她就得抽空過來。
偏偏又不能跟別人說為什麽，家裏的活耽擱了被罵都沒法為自己辯解。
“桂花嬸，這段時間您辛苦了。”
桂花嬸擺擺手：“我一開始看她那樣是真可憐，可越相處越覺得不對。”
“哪裏不對了？”
“我也說不上來，就有的時候覺得她好像也沒那麽擔驚受怕。而且遭這麽大的罪，一開始還說自己吃不下，可沒兩天吃得那個香，還跟說要雞蛋吃。”
“啊？她竟然還提這種要求？”
“那也不是，只是跟我說昨天的雞蛋可真好吃，她好久沒吃過這麽好吃的雞蛋了，不知道什麽時候才能嘗到那樣的味道。我一開始也沒多想，又給她做了雞蛋。後來還是我妯娌罵了我，我才覺得不對勁。”
現在雞蛋多精貴啊，桂花嬸的妯娌看她往家裏拿了兩次蛋，雖然已經分家也忍不住說道幾句。
聽桂花嬸附屬姜佩娥的話，妯娌直接翻了個白眼。
“誰不知道雞蛋好吃啊，還用得着她來說？我還覺得肉好吃呢，要是我去你家吃飯，我也一直這麽嘀咕，你覺得我是啥意思？”
桂花嬸一聽，醍醐灌頂。
這一鬧，桂花嬸就覺得不對勁了。
不是說受到傷害就不能吃好吃的了，可這樣子還有心情耍心眼，瞧着也沒多難過啊。
種種小細節讓桂花嬸總覺得哪裏不對勁，一直到派出所派人帶她離開，桂花嬸一下就想清楚了很多事。
尤其看到姜佩娥一副要死不活的樣子，好像又羞愧得要自殺，桂花嬸怎麽瞧都覺得不對勁。
因為這時候的姜佩娥不僅沒有因為受到傷害變得憔悴，反倒因為這幾天好吃好喝還不用幹活，還能睡一個大屋子裏，把自己給養得氣色紅潤了。
這種情況下再裝，瞧着都覺得別扭。
“可她這樣做圖啥啊？”唐青青還是難以理解。
“還能圖啥，圖名額呗。”
“為了工農兵大學的名額，名聲也不要啦？而且這不是冤枉人嗎？再說了，工農兵大學名額，也不能看誰遭罪了，就給誰的吧。”
It is difficult to get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Jiang Pei'e is indeed very active, but she cannot be said to be outstanding because she likes to be cunning and her intelligence lies in how to be lazy.
The people in the team were not stupid. At first they thought she was a good person, but after a long time, they knew clearly who was doing the work and who was not.
If we give her the quota without explaining the reason clearly, the educated youth will definitely not agree.
Will they then say that they gave her the spot because she was violated?
If this were to get out, people would sympathize with her and perhaps not pursue the matter, but she would have no face to do so.
"If I can't get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, I can still get a place in the city."
"Return to the city? Does our team still have return to the city quota this year?"
"After what happened, we just need to tell the organization and they will definitely approve her return to the city."
Aunt Guihua looked at me as if I was too young. "Qing girl, our brigade doesn't have those messy things, so you don't understand. In my mother's family, there were educated youth who went to sleep with the brigade leader who was older than their father in order to go back to the city. Some even took pills and ruined their bodies just to go back to the city."
Aunt Guihua sighed deeply: "We all know that it's not easy for anyone to leave their hometown. Especially some educated youth were forced to work in the countryside. They have electricity in the city and walk on asphalt roads, which is nothing like us in the countryside. They must be disgusted. We country people all want to run to the city, but they are not willing to go to our countryside. But some people, it's over."
They didn't want to accept such educated youth, who couldn't do their jobs well and often caused trouble.
If I were to do the kind of work they do, I would starve to death.
And why do these people want to go to the countryside? Aren’t they laid off because they couldn’t find jobs in the city? What will they eat and drink if they stay in the city?
No matter how bad the life in the countryside is, there is still food to eat.
On the one hand, she sympathized with these people, but on the other hand, Aunt Guihua felt that they were too ungrateful.
Tang Qingqing still found it unbelievable and difficult to understand and accept such a thing.
But when I think about how Li Zhiyi framed someone in order to prevent Zhai Hongyi from getting the quota, I feel that everything is possible.
After Aunt Guihua had vented her feelings, she felt relaxed and said a little embarrassedly:
"Qing girl, just listen to me and think it's just a fart. We don't know what the situation is right now. If we get it wrong, it will be bad if these words get out."
"Don't worry, Aunt Guihua. I won't tell anyone about this. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Aunt Guihua waved her hands and said, "To be honest, on the one hand, I hope these things are true, otherwise I'd be so angry that I'd die. How can you play around like this? But on the other hand, I also think it's good if they're false, at least no one will encounter such a bad thing.
It is not easy for women to live. They are often rejected when they are born. After finally surviving, they encounter something like this. Their life is almost ruined.”
While Tang Qingqing was waiting for the result, a theft occurred in the town and Tang Qingqing was required to go there.
Tang Qingqing came to the town and after catching the murderer, she consulted Director Zhang about Jiang Pei'e's case.
Director Zhang looked unhappy and said, "Jiang Pei'e has already been sent to the health center. She is still a grown woman now."
"You mean she wasn't assaulted and she just made this up?"
"Well, during the interrogation, she initially said that she was knocked unconscious by a rock, and when she woke up she found that she had been raped, and in pain she jumped into the river. After we confirmed it again and again, we told her that there were her fingerprints on the rock, and she changed her story and said that she wanted to resist and grabbed the rock to throw at the assailant, but the assailant took it away and threw it at her instead."
During the interrogation, Jiang Pei'e kept changing her confession. When she was questioned too urgently, she started crying bitterly, acting like a victim and trying to avoid interrogation.
Chief Zhang is an old police officer who has handled so many cases that he knows very well how to deal with such people.
Without saying a word, he sent Jiang Pei'e to the health center.
After checking, it was found that she was still a grown-up girl and nothing was wrong with her.
Jiang Pei'e also claimed that she thought she was violated because her clothes were in disarray, but she did not realize that the man did nothing. She did not know the difference between being violated and not being violated.
