The old man didn't believe what she said at all. He had used this trick many times and it had never failed. The money he extorted every time was enough for him to eat sumptuous meals for several days.
Zheng Rourou was almost crying after hearing his shameless words. He did something bad and still wanted to be a good person, but they were going to be scolded badly.
Meng Zhiyu resisted the urge to step on him and asked him, "You just fell down and lay there like that, right?"
The old man didn't understand what was going on. He thought she was going to compromise like those people before her, and he was very happy. "That's right."
Zheng's mother, who had been informed by a colleague, hurried over. Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by a male doctor, "Aunt Zheng, don't be anxious. Wait a moment."
Mother Zheng was confused, "Xiao Fei?"
Qi Fei gestured for her to look over there. He felt that the girl should have a way to deal with it.
Mother Zheng held herself together, then heard Meng Zhiyu ask, "Did I push you from behind, or pull you from behind?"
The old man said without hesitation, "Of course you pushed me from behind."
At this time, a few people in the crowd had already reacted and knew what Meng Zhiyu was planning.
Very good. Meng Zhiyu pointed at the old man and said, "Everyone, you've seen this. Remember this. This old man has maintained this posture and direction from beginning to end."
Seeing the onlookers nodding, Meng Zhiyu pulled Zheng Rourou aside and said, "Sister Zheng, give me a push."
Zheng Rourou was puzzled. Seeing that she didn't move, Meng Zhiyu urged her, "Just push me gently, and I will stand firm."
After saying that, he turned around and faced the crowd of onlookers, asking them to stand and gesture for her to take action.
Zheng Rourou knew that this was to clear them of suspicion, so she pushed Meng Zhiyu on the back with controlled force.
Meng Zhiyu was under pressure and staggered forward a few quick steps before throwing herself at the stair railing. The onlookers, somewhat frightened, reached out their hands, trying to support her.
Meng Zhiyu quickly regained control of her body and stood firm, thanking the people who instinctively ran to help her. "Everyone saw it, right? If we pushed him from behind, he would be facing downwards, and he wouldn't be lying prone, but rolling down into the rotating area."
Everyone listened and went over it in their minds, and when they found out it was true, they were immediately excited.
"Really? Why didn't I think of that?"
"We are too kind-hearted and have been deceived by the pitiful appearance of that old man. It is really infuriating."
"That's right, isn't this bookmarking us? It caused us to wrongly accuse two little girls."
Mother Zheng felt relieved and stepped forward to hold their hands. "Fortunately, Zhiyu is smart, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain what happened today."
Even she wanted to shout to see if she could find a witness, but if that didn't work, she could only give some money and let the matter go.
Zheng Rourou hugged her mother's arm and looked at Meng Zhiyu happily, "Yes, Mom, Zhiyu is really smart."
She was one year older than her, and was just angry and couldn't think of any good solution. In the end, she encountered fewer problems. Next time something like this happened, she would have experience.
The old man obviously didn't expect things to develop like this. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out what went wrong. It had always been like this before!
Trying to make amends, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. I'm old now and I always remember things wrongly."
Mother Zheng angrily looked at the old man who was still unwilling to give up. "If you continue to make trouble here, I will have no choice but to send you to the police station. This is extortion. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out for more than ten years."
"That's right, use your useless brain to think about whether you should leave immediately or go to the small dark room." Qi Fei walked to Zheng's mother and lowered his eyes to look at the old man threateningly.
When the old man heard that he was going to go to jail, he ignored everything, got up quickly, jumped down the stairs, and ran away in embarrassment.
The onlookers realized that they had been fooled and were extremely angry. They pointed and condemned him as he fled.
They returned to Zheng's mother's office. She left her daughter aside and spoke affectionately to Meng Zhiyu, "You are really smart, child. I wouldn't have thought of this at first."
She already had a good impression of her because of her daughter, and after this incident, she liked her even more.
It is natural to be happy when being praised by others, and Meng Zhiyu is no exception. As for why she came up with this idea, it is thanks to the physics course.
She remembered that there was a question in the inertia section: if a car suddenly brakes while sitting in the back seat, which direction will the body fall to?
He said modestly, "I just thought of it on the spur of the moment. If you were to solve it, there would definitely be a better way. I'm a little naive."
Mother Zheng was so amused by what she said that she couldn't stop grinning. Qi Fei took advantage of the opportunity and asked, "Aunt Zheng, where did you meet this little sister?"
Although she looked a little malnourished, she was not dressed shabbily. He guessed that she was a country girl.
Mother Zheng then remembered that she hadn't introduced them yet. "This is Miss Meng Zhiyu, the one who saved Rourou at the restaurant."
Then he said to Meng Zhiyu, "This is Qi Fei, my nephew from my mother's side, and he's also from this hospital. He works in the orthopedics department, so you can just call him Brother Qi, just like Rourou did."
Meng Zhiyu followed suit and called out, "Brother Qi."
Qi Fei readily responded, "Well, then I'll call you Sister Meng!"
Meng Zhiyu didn't care about this. She nodded and said goodbye to Zheng's mother. Zheng's mother knew that she had something else to do, so she didn't ask her to stay. "Come to me when you are free. Aunt Zheng will treat you to dinner then."
After leaving the hospital, Meng Zhiyu went to the post office under the scorching sun.
It's been a while since I wrote to my grandfather's family. Calculating the time, if there is a reply, it should have arrived by now.
