Chapter 197: Witnesses and Evidence
"What's wrong? What happened?" Old Master Qin was running out of breath and couldn't even put on his shoes properly.
Li Mumu quickly bent down to help him put on his shoes. Qin Ling smiled and squatted down. "Grandpa can do it yourself. Little Mumu is so thoughtful. What's wrong?"
"Yeah, what are you shouting about?" Li Yunqiao's father, Li Sheng, said anxiously.
"No...nothing, these kids are just playing around." Li's wife glared at her daughter, not wanting to make a big deal out of it.
Some people were holding torches, which illuminated the stone inscriptions lying on the ground clearly.
"Oh, my son, stop, don't move. Who beat my son like this for fun? Don't even think about running away." Wang Yufen yelled.
Shi Zecheng was also displeased, "That's too much."
"What's wrong with beating him? Why don't you ask what he did?" Li Yunye said angrily.
"Yun Ye!" Gu Yuru stood in front.
"Stop arguing." Li Yunqiao thought of Li Mumu's words. She believed that her parents were really capable of marrying her to a gangster.
Instead of living like that, it’s better to take a gamble.
"This is no joke. I came out of... I came out of Gu's house and just walked here, and he... he rushed out to grab me and wanted to bully me, and then I..."
Li Mumu knew that this silly girl would probably tell the truth, which would really make people who didn't know the truth think that something had happened to her.
"Then my brothers and I came out." Li Mumu blinked at the crying Li Yunqiao. "My cousin was worried about Sister Yunqiao going home alone, so she asked the three of us to help. But then we saw him trying to drag Sister Yunqiao into the haystack, so we helped and beat him up."
Li Yunqiao suddenly glanced at Li Mumu. She was not really a stupid person. If others knew that she was really dragged into the haystack, even if nothing happened, no one would believe it.
However, after what Little Twilight said, everyone believed that nothing had happened.
Mr. Li and his wife slapped their thighs and sighed, not knowing whether they were angry at Shi Wen for doing something worse than pigs and dogs, or at their own daughter being too shameless to suffer this loss.
"Shut up! What are you howling for?" Old Man Qin Ling said, hushing the couple. "It's all thanks to the Mumu brothers and sisters that nothing happened."
Li Yunqiao nodded vigorously. "Yes, nothing at all. Thanks to Mumu and the others."
"Luckily, the eldest daughter of the Gu family was careful. If she hadn't sent someone to follow her, Yun Qiao would have been bullied."
Li Yunqiao nodded and wiped away her tears. She was really scared just now.
"You must really thank Miss Gu." said the old lady who was watching the fun.
Gu Yuru shook her head slightly. Seeing Shi Wen and thinking about how disgusting this man was, she said in a deep voice, "He's not being attentive, actually. He was hanging around my door a few days ago. Although he can read and write, I didn't expect him to do such a disgusting thing. But Sister Yunqiao is a girl after all, so I thought safety was the priority. But I didn't expect..."
"Bah, you little bastard, it turns out you've been planning to do something bad for a long time!"
Shi Wen glared at Gu Yuru hatefully. He wanted to say that it was not the case, but the people in the village who had daughters were not willing to give him a chance and kicked him a few times first.
Shi Zecheng and Wang Yufen tried to stop them, but two fists were no match for four hands, especially since they were a group of people who were used to doing physical work. These two weaklings were no match for them at all.
Old Master Qin only said symbolically: "Hey, talk nicely and don't use force."
But he didn't stop the person who took action at all.
However, the Li family's parents, who should have been the most angry, did not move, glaring at their daughter hatefully.
Li Mumu couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Such cowardly and incompetent parents are really a tragedy for their children.
However, now is not the time to discuss with them how to love and protect their daughter.
"Stop, stop, stop hitting her. How do you know it was our Wen'er who bullied her? Couldn't it be this girl who took the initiative?"
Wang Yufen said in a hoarse voice, "Our Wen'er is handsome and well-read. Many girls in the village are restless when they see him. I think... I think this girl is the same. She wants to seduce my son and marry him into our family."
In her previous life, Li's father and mother were made to believe that their daughter was restless by these words, and they confirmed that it was she who took the initiative to seduce.
So, after Wang Yufen finished speaking, Li Mumu subconsciously went to see the Li couple.
Sure enough, just as described in the book, they wanted to bury their heads in the ground, but at the same time they did not forget to blame their daughter for being immoral.
Li Yunqiao shed tears of grievance.
Gu Lan hugged her lovingly and patted her back gently.
"Sister Lan'er, I didn't, I really didn't." Li Yunqiao was not a person who was good at speaking. She had just been brave once, but she didn't want to be slandered like this in return for her bravery.
Li Mumu believed that if no one believed her now, she would never choose to be brave when she encountered injustice in the future.
"I believe you." Gu Lan said softly, "Madam Shi, I don't care what other girls do, but Yun Qiao has been with me for some time, and I know her character. Besides, do you think my brothers and sisters are blind? Now there is evidence, how can you distort the truth?"
"There are not only witnesses, but also physical evidence." After Li Mumu finished speaking, she walked to Shi Wen.
Shi Wen thought of the little girl's strength and moved back in fear, "Don't hit me."
Li Mumu curled her lips. What a coward! She took the opportunity to pull open his sleeves and asked, "Did you see that?"
Shi Wen's arms were covered in scratches and bleeding.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this meant.
Li Mumu patiently explained. She knew that the villagers were all honest people, but if she explained it a little, they would understand.
"You said Sister Yunqiao took the initiative, but what are these scratches? If she took the initiative, would she still resist and scratch you?"
Everyone suddenly understood.
Old Man Qin Ling also nodded. "That's right. If she had volunteered, how could this happen? In fact, there's no need for this. We absolutely believe in the character of the Yun Chao brothers and sisters. As for you... humph, we don't believe it."
"That's right, the kids from the Gu family are absolutely trustworthy. We believe everything they say."
Although it was a bit blind, it must be said that Li Mumu was still very happy to hear it.
What kind of trust is this? Aren’t you afraid that they will fabricate truth?
"Grandpa Qin, he really did want to bully Sister Yunqiao. He should be punished for doing bad things, right?"
Old Master Qin nodded and said, "That's right, you guys take him to the government office."
"No, no, we...our family is willing to marry her. With her status, letting her marry my son would be...a blessing she has earned in eight lifetimes!" Wang Yufen thought quickly.
