Chapter 73: Brainless Guy
"As the old saying goes, if you don't want others to know, don't do it. Everyone should know that I can't swim at all, so when I come across a river, I naturally stay away from it."
"Yesterday, Liu Yingying came to the educated youth site in the middle of the day and asked me to go out and talk to her. The educated youths who lived with me also knew about it."
"Who would have thought that she would be so black-hearted and want to take advantage of this opportunity to kill me."
"As long as she did it, she would definitely leave evidence. I don't believe it. Even though it was in the middle of the day, there was no one around."
"As long as we ask them one by one, we will definitely find witnesses."
"Besides, I can't swim at all. Normally, when I get to the river, I always want to stay away from it. How could I possibly go to the river by myself?"
"Everyone knows that people cherish their lives. How could I joke about my own life?"
"At worst, there are stones by the river. From the marks on the stones, I can tell whether I fell in by accident or was pushed in by someone with malicious intent."
After Jiang Xian said this, everyone who heard it felt that it made sense, so they all turned around and wanted to listen to Liu Yingying's explanation.
If it is true and Liu Yingying did not do it, then she should not have to worry about others investigating her.
What Jiang Xian said does make sense. The traces left by the river from accidentally falling in and being pushed into the river maliciously are different. As long as you observe carefully, you can find out.
If everyone really wants to find out the truth of the matter, it is actually very simple. Call the police and ask them to come and check the traces around. They will be able to determine whether it was Liu Yingying who pushed him or Jiang Xian who accidentally fell into the river.
In this situation, someone spoke up:
"I think what Jiang Xian said is right. If Liu Yingying really feels that she has been wronged, then we can just call the police."
"Yes, yes. What's the point of just arguing here? It would be better to find a professional to come and take a look at the situation. It would not be considered as wrongly accusing a good person."
After all, this is indeed a way to prove whether Liu Yingying is innocent or not.
If the police got involved in this matter and found out the truth, even everyone would know about it. If Liu Yingying could prove her innocence under the confirmation of the police, then no one would dare to gossip about her in the future.
In that case, Liu Yingying would be more confident.
Calling the police is the best approach.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Jiang Xian gave a grateful smile to the person who spoke for her. After all, if it weren't for these villagers, she would probably not be able to call the police so smoothly.
Given the character of Liu Yingying and her father, they would definitely take the opportunity to stop her from calling the police. After all, if she called the police, the matter would be exposed.
Jiang Xian seemed to do it on purpose. After listening to the villager's suggestion, he took the initiative to speak:
"How about this? I heard that the village chief has a landline at home. Why don't you ask someone in your village to go to the village chief's house and call the police for me?"
"Everyone also thinks that this is the best way to resolve this matter now. If Liu Yingying is really wronged, it can also clear her so that she will not be gossiped about by the villagers in the future."
After Jiang Xian finished speaking, the villagers nodded repeatedly, thinking that what she said made a lot of sense.
There were also some who were enthusiastic and wanted to watch the fun, so they turned around and left the educated youth site and walked towards the village chief's house.
The purpose is self-evident.
Most of them wanted to see the Liu family suffer, and now that the opportunity was right in front of them, how could they let it go?
It's just calling the police, it's not a false alarm, it's just a piece of cake.
The original owner is standing here. Whether Jiang Xian was pushed into the river by Liu Yingying remains to be verified.
Calling the police is the best approach.
As soon as Liu Yingying heard Jiang Xian say he was going to call the police, she panicked instantly. Liu's father was also so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew in his heart that everything Jiang Xian said was true and he was not lying. His daughter did nothing wrong in this matter, but if he really called the police, then their family and Liu Yingying would be ruined.
How could Liu's father possibly watch that villager run to the village chief's house to call the police?
If this matter were to be known by the village chief, it would be a serious matter.
He has some power in this village, but the one who truly holds the real power is the village chief himself.
The village chief has absolute say in this village. After all, he is older and has experienced a lot, so the villagers trust him unconditionally.
If the village chief knew that he brought his entire family to the educated youth center today to cause trouble and pick a fight with a little girl like Jiang Xian, he would definitely have a hard time explaining to the village chief.
Besides, even if we don't know much else, the village chief has always been very nice to Lu Bin. Those who are close to him and don't know him think that Lu Bin is the village chief's biological son.
The village chief must speak on Lu Bin's side. Now, Jiang Xian's identity is different. Since she has married Lu Bin, Jiang Xian is a member of the Lu family.
The village chief will definitely speak for Jiang Xian at that time. If the village chief blames them, their whole family will be in trouble.
Maybe even his small position in the village will be removed. If that happens, he will really make a big fuss and lose face everywhere.
In the village, this small position was nothing, but he was able to make some money from the educated youth camp. The income from their farming was not enough to cover the family's normal expenses.
Besides, his wife has always been a spendthrift, and his two sons are about to get married, which requires money in every aspect, so he naturally cherishes this opportunity.
If it was true that he lost this fairly respectable job because of Liu Yingying's incident, Liu's father thought he might explode.
The most important thing now is to quickly stop the villager and tell him not to go to the village chief to call the police. If the village chief knows about it, he will definitely come here. Moreover, if it really gets to the police, this matter will be difficult to end. The most important thing now is to calm Jiang Xian down and ask her not to pursue this matter anymore. But if, if that really happens, then Liu Yingying will no longer be able to cover up what she has done.
If his Liu Yingying was really innocent, then naturally, she would not be afraid to call the police. However, as long as they stopped the villagers from calling the police, the villagers would know, even if he didn't say it, that it was 100% done by Liu Yingying, so she was so cowardly.
But now he was forced into a corner and had no other choice. Father Liu could only call out to the villager:
"stop!"
"Why can't we talk it out? The village chief is so old, we shouldn't bother him because of such a small matter. It's unnecessary to disturb his rest."
"We can handle the matter ourselves. There is no need to call the police."
The villager had just taken a step out of the educated youth site when he suddenly paused.
He was somewhat at a loss standing there. Of course, he could understand the meaning of Liu's father's words. Obviously, he didn't want him to go to the village chief or call the police.
At this point, almost everyone understood that there was definitely something fishy going on.
Otherwise, why would Liu's father stop them from calling the police?
It is estimated that this was 100% done by Liu Yingying, otherwise both father and daughter would not feel so guilty.
Jiang Xian raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She looked at Father Liu with a sarcastic look on her face and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Why did you stop him from going to the village chief?"
"The village chief is not as old as you say. He is only sixty years old this year, which is the age when he is still strong. Besides, it is not too early or too late now. It is the afternoon and he is not resting. Let him come over. He won't get tired even if he walks slowly."
"For such a big matter, I think the village chief is the only one in our village who can handle it fairly and impartially."
"Besides, if you had nothing to hide, why would you stop that villager from calling the police?"
"Could it be that as a father, you are intentionally trying to hide the truth for Liu Yingying?"
"I, Jiang Xian, am not someone who is easily bullied. Today, everyone in the village is here. If you want to bully me, you have to see if these people agree."
After Jiang Xian said this, Liu Yingying was so scared that she was shaking. When she looked at her father, her face was full of panic, for fear that Jiang Xian would really ask someone to call the police, and she would be in trouble then.
Although she knew that there were no witnesses, who could know whether what Jiang Xian had just said was true or false?
If the riverside could really identify Jiang Xian based on the traces of her falling into the water, it would be unclear whether she fell in accidentally or was pushed in by someone maliciously.
She couldn't and couldn't afford this risk.
Liu Yingying cursed Jiang Xian in her heart, thinking that she was just a troublemaker. Since she came to this village, nothing good had happened.
Seeing that Jiang Xian was determined to hold on to her and refused to let go, she felt so angry that her teeth itched. She couldn't help but say:
"Don't spit bloody words at me!"
"Why should I admit something that I, Liu Yingying, didn't do? It's fine that you fell into the river accidentally, but you actually want to throw dirty water on me. Don't even think about it. You're dreaming!"
Liu Yingying is not a fool. While talking to Jiang Xian, she has been observing the reactions of the nearby villagers. She saw that after hearing what Jiang Xian said, they all became suspicious of her. How could Liu Yingying not feel nervous?
She didn't care, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind, saying that Jiang Xian framed her.
He completely forgot that the other person still had the leverage over him.
After she said this, she felt happy, but after she came to her senses, she felt a little scared. Originally, only the two of them knew that she pushed Jiang Xian, and now what she just said would anger Jiang Xian again.
If that's the case, I'm afraid Jiang Xian will never let her go.
But on second thought, since Jiang Xian chose to tell the truth in front of all the villagers, it proved that from the very beginning, she had no intention of letting her go.
No matter what she said, it was useless. Jiang Xian just wanted to see Liu Yingying make a fool of herself in front of a bunch of people.
Liu Yingying gritted her teeth and made a decision immediately. Things had come to this point and she could only grit her teeth and choose to deny it. She could not admit that she did it. Otherwise, if Jiang Xian called the police, her father would not let her go.
When Jiang Xian saw Liu Yingying's quibbling look, he was so angry that he laughed. Liu Yingying said that it was she, Jiang Xian, who framed her.
After Jiang Xian heard this, he began to doubt his life. He didn't expect that Liu Yingying was also a fool. She immediately asked back:
"Since you said that you didn't do it and you didn't push me into this, then why are you afraid that I will call the police?"
"If it wasn't you who did it, even if I called the police, it would have nothing to do with you. Why are you feeling guilty?"
"You're so stupid. You came out to stop me from calling the police. In the final analysis, you're just afraid that your crime will be exposed."
After Jiang Xian finished speaking, he turned to the villager who was still hesitating:
"Please help me call the police and ask the village chief to come over and tell him that something happened here."
"No matter what, I am also an educated youth who came from the provincial capital to work in the countryside. The village should pay more attention to my situation."
"I now have doubts about my falling into the water. You in the village should also give me an explanation."
Since she came to this village, the village should be responsible for her and for the educated youth who also went to the countryside.
