No. 88 Suspicion
After dinner, everyone will go to work, and by then, it is even less likely that anyone will waste time chatting with them here.
Seeing her hypocritical behavior, Grandma Cheng rushed over and grabbed Liu Zhaodi's hair, scolding her, "You lowly little whore! You almost made me commit a crime. How dare you pretend to be innocent now?"
She used her hands and feet, kicking and stomping. This was a brutal method that these educated youth had never seen before. For a moment, they forgot to stop her and watched Liu Zhaodi being beaten.
"What are you doing?" Ye Xumei walked out of the house and asked.
Niu Chenggong then seemed to wake up from a dream and stepped forward to stop them, quickly separating the two men.
Liu Zhaodi's eyes were filled with tears that threatened to fall at any moment. She reluctantly reached out to wipe them away and pretended to be strong: "I have no idea what you are talking about!"
"It was you who gave me the key to Chen Zhu's house and a packet of medicine powder, saying that if I used it properly, mad dogs wouldn't bite me and I could take things at will. It was you who taught me to steal!" Grandma Cheng felt dizzy at the moment and emphasized what had happened again, her tone full of disbelief.
You know, only if she is acquitted can her family members not be implicated.
Even though Yaozu, the ungrateful boy, went with the second brother's family, in her heart, she still treasures her grandson!
"You say that, do you have any evidence?" Liu Zhaodi first glanced at Chen Zhuyi, then stiffened her neck and refuted loudly, "I didn't do anything, and I don't know why you come here to frame me. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Some harsh words made Grandma Cheng's eyelids twitch again.
Ye Xumei finally figured out the whole cause and effect. Although he suspected Liu Zhaodi, there was no obvious evidence at present.
Grandma Cheng’s one-sided statement is totally unreliable.
Niu Chenggong also put on a captain's attitude at this moment, and said with a smile: "Catch the thief and the stolen goods, catch the adulterer in pairs, we are all educated educated youth, we would never do such a thing, Comrade Shen, we are all acquainted with each other after all, don't bully us just because you have merits!"
At the end of his words, he directly pointed the finger at Chen Zhuyi!
Chen Zhu, who was warned, couldn't help but sneer. So many things were lost from her house, and now the witness has been found. As long as something can be found in Liu Zhaodi's bag, it will be conclusive evidence!
But Huo Jinzhi was watching the situation with his eyes narrowed. Although Liu Zhaodi was crying and making a fuss, she looked fearless and was obviously not afraid of being caught. If that was the case, it meant that there was nothing wrong with her!
In other words, Liu Zhaodi was confident that her methods would not be discovered.
Before Shen Zhu could speak, Huo Jinzhi grabbed her wrist, not very hard, just pulling it gently.
Relying on their tacit understanding, Chen Zhuyi shut up tactfully, but Grandma Cheng continued to charge: "What do you mean by that? Do you think we are making things difficult for you?"
She is such an old woman and was almost thrown into prison. How could she come out and wrongly accuse someone?
"It was a few days ago in the afternoon when we ran into each other on the street, and you kept telling me that she was not good..."
"We have always been working together. How can we have time to talk about you? Old lady, you are going too far. Just because we are young, you talk about us like this?" Liu Zhaodi couldn't help but retort loudly, with some grievance in her voice, and tears fell down.
There was a moment of silence, and Liu Zhaodi took the opportunity to enter the room, took out all her things, and placed them in front of them: "You suspect me, don't you just want to look through my things? Take a look!"
All sorts of messy things were thrown together, patched clothes, or some old things, all fell to the ground, and even the underwear had traces of mending.
When the men saw this, they quickly turned around and didn't dare to look any further.
Niu Chenggong coughed unnaturally and tried to persuade her gently, "Don't be so angry. We all believe you are innocent."
"We're here to catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. You didn't find anything. If that doesn't work, just search around. I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door!" Liu Zhaodi was still explaining herself.
Because she realized that her emotions were fluctuating too much, she didn't even eat and ran outside.
This kind of girl herself has no respect. At home, she is just a tool to raise children. Even if she becomes an educated youth, it is because the life in the countryside is hard and the children at home cannot bear it, so they push everything onto her.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Zhaodi had such a big reaction after being suspected. Everything should be considered normal.
Chen Zhuyi pursed her lips into a straight line, lowered her eyes to look at the things on the ground, reached out to help her pick them up, and Ye Xumei followed suit.
"I've said it before, she won't be that kind of person. Those who want to harm her should think carefully. Don't treat everyone as a bad person just because you were bullied before." Niu Chenggong was also preaching on the side, and his attitude was obviously directed at Chen Zhuyi.
Seeing the tense atmosphere and Grandma Cheng almost passing out from anger, Cheng Zhuoyue quickly tried to calm them down: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding. We were just asking a routine question. We didn't expect her to get so excited."
Huo Jinzhi stopped Grandma Cheng who was about to say something and took her out first. Cheng Zhuoyue, who was left behind, said a few nice words and then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and left.
Chen Zhu was talking to Ye Xumei.
"I don't think her current attitude is an act. If she hadn't really been wronged, she wouldn't be so excited." Ye Xumei rubbed her eyebrows a little irritably. She was knowledgeable and experienced, and the two people at home were no less capable of making trouble than Liu Zhaodi.
If even she can't tell the difference, it might be because Liu Zhaodi herself is more capable than the two in her family!
"You are the only one who can get my key." Chen Zhuyi spoke softly, pointing this out.
She did not doubt Ye Xumei now, but people are not high-precision machines after all. No matter how much they cherish something, there will come a time when they can no longer see it.
Ye Xumei would never steal, so only Liu Zhaodi, who lived in the same room with her, could seize the opportunity to do something shameful!
"But there is no stolen goods here." Ye Xumei was silent for a long time before emphasizing this point.
