Chapter 7 Shang Ruo Lian (with changes)
It just so happened that the place was not far from the supply and marketing cooperative. After she finished solving Zhang Heping's problem, she went to buy things.
The group arrived at the commune, and Zhao Faxian went to find Secretary Cui.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing glasses followed Zhao Fa out.
He looked at Zhang Heping, his eyes full of anger.
"Are you the one who just acted rudely towards this lesbian?"
When Zhang Heping saw Secretary Cui's serious expression, his heart tightened.
However, he still tried hard to argue for himself.
The words he said were still the same as what he had just said to Zhao Fa.
Zhao Fa emphasized from the side: "Secretary Cui, don't listen to his nonsense. I just saw it with my own eyes."
Secretary Cui's face became increasingly darker.
"Do you know who you just acted like a hooligan?"
He pointed at Shang Ruoting and said, "This is the hero's family member. The higher-ups just informed me to go all out to provide adequate care for Comrade Tan Chen."
"You're being rude to someone's new wife right now!"
"Your problem is very serious. Not only have you committed hooliganism, but you've also committed blasphemy against heroes!"
Once Zhang Heping is accused of blasphemy against a hero, he will probably be skinned alive if he doesn't die.
Shang Ruoting secretly said in her heart: You deserve it, who made you so mean as to sell me out...
On second thought, the original owner had no connection with Zhang Heping, so why would he suddenly appear on the road and stop her?
Moreover, the money in Zhang Heping's pocket was a considerable sum for a country family. Even if his family was rich, it was impossible for him to walk around with the money in his pocket.
This matter doesn't seem as simple as it seems!
Shang Ruoting was racking her brains to guess various possibilities. Secretary Cui had already called several young men wearing red armbands to tie up Zhang Heda.
Zhang Heping struggled desperately.
"Secretary Cui, Captain, I am wronged."
Secretary Cui ignored Zhang Heping's shouts and directed the young men.
"Lock him up in the office first."
Then he looked at Zhao Fa again.
"Early tomorrow morning, Sihe Village will hold a villagers' meeting to publicly punish Zhang Heping."
Zhao Fa nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and arrange it."
Watching Zhao Fa leave, Shang Ruoting raised her doubts to Secretary Cui.
"Secretary Cui, I was just thinking, although Zhang Heping and I are from the same village, we have never had any contact before. I can't understand why she would act so rudely towards me."
Secretary Cui was also a little confused when he heard Shang Ruoting say this.
"Do you have any guesses?"
Shang Ruoting was just guessing about the money and couldn't say anything.
She shook her head at Secretary Cui: "I just feel that things are not as simple as they seem."
Secretary Cui took Tan Chen's situation into consideration and decided to question Zhang Heping again.
He called out to Shang Ruoting: "Come with me."
Shang Ruoting followed the secretary into the office.
Zhang Heping, who was hiding in the corner, stood up immediately when he saw them come in.
"Secretary Cui, I'm really wronged..."
Secretary Cui interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Zhang Heping, tell me the truth. Who told you to intercept Shang Ruoting on the way?"
When Zhang Heping was asked this question by Secretary Cui, he suddenly seemed a little guilty and stammered when he spoke.
"No... no one asked me to intercept her, I... just..."
Secretary Cui has reached his current position. What kind of people and things has he not seen?
One look at Zhang Heping's performance revealed that Shang Ruoting's guess was correct.
"Zhang Heping, you need to understand the seriousness of this situation. Before it gets out of hand, tell me everything you know."
"Don't end up taking the blame for someone else."
Zhang Heping looked at Secretary Cui's serious expression.
The defense line completely collapsed.
"It's...it's Shang Ruolian. She gave me money and asked me to cheat Shang Ruoting..."
Shang Ruoting clenched her fists tightly. She said, why did Zhang Heping want to cause trouble for her for no reason?
It turned out to be Shang Ruolian, the heroine of this book.
However, the book was all about the heroine's ambition and hard work. If she hadn't traveled here, Shang Ruolan would definitely have been covered in a gorgeous appearance, and her future life would have been smooth sailing. She would have lived a wonderful life with Tan Chen...
Now that she was here, she would tear off Shang Ruolan's gorgeous outer layer with her own hands...
"Secretary Cui, you heard it too. My guess was correct. Someone instructed Zhang Heping to bully me."
Secretary Cui felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, and looked at Zhang Heping with a bitter face.
"Why did Shang Ruolian let you kidnap Shang Ruoting?"
Now that the truth has been revealed, Zhang Heping has no reason to continue hiding it.
"Shang Ruolian likes Tan Chen and is jealous of Shang Ruoting marrying him, so she found me."
"Let me use Qiao Yuan as an excuse to trick her into the city and sell her off. Shang Ruoting is pretty, so she'll definitely fetch a good price. All the money from selling her will be mine."
"I just took out the money from Shang Ruolian when I saw Shang Ruoting leaving..."
The matter is now completely clear.
Secretary Cui took this matter very seriously. It was not just that Zhang Heping was being a hooligan, but it had also risen to the level of human trafficking.
He walked out of the house, probably to discuss the specific disposal methods with someone.
Shang Ruoting knew that the most important evidence to convict Zhang Heping and Shang Ruolian at the same time was money.
It seems that she can't take advantage of the money.
So, when Secretary Cui walked out, Shang Ruoting pretended to hate Zhang Heping and reached out to fight with him.
"Zhang Heping, you bastard, you actually want to sell me out..."
At the same time, she quietly stuffed the money into Zhang Heping's pocket as quickly as possible.
Secretary Cui, who had just walked out, heard the shouting in the house and knew that Shang Ruoting was very angry and hit Zhang Heping a few times to vent her anger. He did not come in to stop them.
Not long after, he walked in with four young men wearing red armbands.
"You two take Zhang Heping to the police station first."
"You two come with me to Sihe Village and ask Shang Ruolian about the situation."
Zhang Hepingyuan thought that his punishment would be to take him back to the village for criticism the next day, but he didn't expect that the matter had become so serious that he had to be sent to the police station.
"Secretary Cui, I know I was wrong. The money has been taken by Shang Ruoting, and I have compensated her. Please forgive me this time..."
Secretary Cui looked at Shang Ruoting: "Did you really take the money?"
Shang Ruoting pretended to be shocked and took out the big unity banknote and a stack of bills that Tan Chen had just given her from her pocket.
"Secretary Cui, look, these are all I have in my pocket. They were just given to me by Tan Chen. I didn't see any money at all."
Secretary Cui glared at Zhang Heping: "It's already this late, and you still don't tell the truth?"
Zhang Heping is wronged...
"Secretary Cui, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, have someone search Shang Ruoting."
