Chapter 51 Who Can Testify?
"I……"
Xie Manman also realized that she had made an extremely basic mistake.
They actually managed to show the size of the Ganoderma lucidum.
"Xie Manman, if you don't hand over the Ganoderma lucidum, we will have no choice but to deal with you for stealing village collective property."
Tong Liqun truly loathed Xie Manman and couldn't be bothered to waste words with her.
"I really didn't, I didn't pick those Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms." Xie Manman was on the verge of tears.
If she really picked them, she would accept being punished, but she really didn't pick them!
"If you didn't pick it, who else could it be? Nobody in our village knows about that Ganoderma lucidum!"
The villagers weren't as idle as these educated youth; they didn't just wander around the mountains whenever they had nothing to do.
They clearly didn't have any good intentions.
Xie Manman had a sudden inspiration and quickly said, "Secretary, I'm not the only one who knows about Ganoderma lucidum."
"Who else?" Tong Liqun snorted coldly. Sure enough, he knew there were accomplices.
"And Xu Yirou, Xu Yirou has also seen that giant Ganoderma lucidum."
Xie Manman pointed directly at Xu Yirou.
And that was indeed what she thought in her heart, which made her hate Xu Yirou even more.
In her opinion, Xu Yirou must have secretly picked the Ganoderma lucidum, and it is very likely that she saw her fall off the cliff and faint, but did not save her.
Xu Yirou froze on the spot when she was pointed at like that, hardly believing her ears: "Manman, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Even if she wanted to bite someone, this is not the way to do it!
"Xu Yirou, stop pretending. Only you know about this Ganoderma lucidum. Not only did you steal it and frame me, but you also left me hanging on the cliff for so long, almost killing me. Now you're pretending to be innocent. Is that really necessary?"
Xie Manman looked at Xu Yirou with disdain, her eyes red and looking like she wanted to cry but couldn't.
You shameless bastard, all you know how to do is pretend to be innocent and kind.
In her past life, Xu Yirou, that shameless slut, must have used her looks to seduce Brother Gu and become the army commander's wife!
"I don't!"
Xu Yirou cried out in despair, "I was working in the fields all day yesterday, as everyone could see. How could I possibly be out in the back mountains picking Ganoderma lucidum?"
Yang Junqing also stood up and said, "Yi Rou is right. We worked in the fields all day yesterday, and the villagers who worked nearby can also testify to that. Xie Manman, even if you want to smear us, you need to have a basis and evidence. You can't just talk nonsense."
At this moment, the villagers who happened to be working next to Xu Yirou nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xu Yirou was working in the fields yesterday, she didn't have time to steal any Ganoderma lucidum. This Xie Manman is really... at least have some basis for her nonsense!"
"What? Not you?"
Xie Manman was stunned. Apart from Xu Yirou, no one else knew about the Ganoderma lucidum.
Then who else could have stolen it?
Could it be...?
Seemingly remembering something, she quickly located the Gu family members in the crowd, then pointed at Gu Yanxiao and asked, "Gu Zhiqing, where is... Su Xiangwan?"
When Gu Yanxiao saw that she had finally mentioned Su Xiangwan, he gave her a cold look and said, "Where my wife is is none of your business. She doesn't need to work, so she's naturally resting at home!"
"No...that's not right!"
Xie Manman finally realized what was wrong.
The Gu family's attitude is problematic.
Logically speaking, the Gu family shouldn't be so calm after Su Xiangwan's accident.
After all, Su Xiangwan had already been ruined by that scoundrel Hou San.
Moreover, given Hou San's personality, after harming Su Xiangwan, he would never let her go.
So unless there are special circumstances, Su Xiangwan should already be dead.
When the Gu family discovered that Su Xiangwan was missing, how could they not be anxious to look for her?
Xie Manman originally thought that since so many people from the village had come out yesterday, and Gu Yanxiao was leading the way, it must be more than just looking for her.
Moreover, given yesterday's situation and the fear of arousing suspicion, she didn't have the mind to ask any more questions.
But now it seems that nothing has happened to the Gu family.
Could it be that Hou San didn't go to the back mountain to find Su Xiangwan as they had agreed?
Or did something unexpected happen after you approached them, causing things to not go as you hoped?
She met Gu Yanxiao's cold gaze and began to panic.
"Xie Zhiqing, even at this point, not only do you refuse to admit your mistakes, but you also want to throw the blame on Gu Zhiqing's wife. You're a dog that can't change its nature!"
Tong Aiguo looked at Xie Manman with disgust and spoke.
"I didn't. Su Xiangwan went to the back mountain yesterday too, and she's the one who picked those Ganoderma lucidum!"
Out of anger, Xie Manman spoke up without regard for the consequences.
"Xie Manman, you said my sister-in-law went to the back mountain yesterday. Who can testify to that?" Gu Yanfei stood up directly and asked, pointing her finger at her nose.
“She went with me!” Xie Manman glared at her with a sinister look.
That bitch, how dare she protect Su Xiangwan! Once I become her sister-in-law, I'll definitely marry her off to the most disgusting old man in the village.
"Ridiculous! You came to my house early the day before yesterday, trying to seduce my brother, but we kicked you out. My sister-in-law hates you, so how could she possibly go up the mountain with you? Even if you want to lie, at least make it believable, okay?"
Gu Yanfei looked at Xie Manman with disdain.
Her little mouth was like it was smeared with poison, blah blah blah.
The words he said completely humiliated Xie Manman.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!" Xie Manman refused to admit it.
"Whether Gu Xiaomei is lying or not, everyone knows. Last night, in front of so many people, you had the nerve to ask Gu Zhiqing to carry you down the mountain. What else are you incapable of doing?"
"How shameless! Gu Zhiqing is already married, and you still went up to seduce her. How can a woman be so shameless!"
Yesterday, thanks to the villagers who participated in the search and rescue, it can be said that everyone in the entire Bakushu Village knows about Xie Manman's incident.
Now, when people see her, it's like they're seeing something dirty.
Seeing the disgusted looks on everyone's faces, Xie Manman hurriedly explained, "I'm not lying. Su Xiangwan picked that big Ganoderma lucidum. Yesterday, I went up the back mountain with her, and she deliberately pushed me off the cliff when I wasn't paying attention, just to keep the Ganoderma lucidum for herself. Yes, that's it..."
Even under these circumstances, Xie Manman still wanted to portray herself as a victim and pin all the blame on Su Xiangwan.
"You really are..." Tong Aiguo was so angry that he wanted to step forward and argue with her.
But Tong Liqun stopped him, and asked with a stern face, "Xie Zhiqing, what evidence do you have for what you're saying?"
