Qiao Changgui was clearly capable of wearing a sweater, but he insisted on stealing Yang Wanli's tattered cotton-padded jacket to cause trouble for his own daughter.
Now there was no need for Qiao Baozhu to defend herself, as anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on.
After Qiao Baozhu was transferred to the warehouse, although she only worked half a day every day, no one in the cafeteria had any objections.
In addition to her strong working ability, half a day is enough to complete the day's tasks. Qiao Baozhu is generous and courteous to her colleagues.
The news that Qiao Baozhu was making shoe soles for shoe stores in the city had already spread around the farm.
Every half a month, Qiao Baozhu would take leave to go to the city to deliver goods. Whenever she went to the city, she would help her colleagues in the cafeteria to bring things, and she would never make a profit from the difference in price.
Moreover, on the day she came back, she would share some things that people usually wouldn't buy with her colleagues in the cafeteria, such as second-grade apples and White Rabbit candies. Although two pieces of candies don't cost much, they are good things.
Some people secretly disliked Qiao Baozhu's use of small favors to win over colleagues, but they did not dare to report her.
After all, Qiao Baozhu is seeking benefits for everyone, and everyone's life has become much more convenient because of Qiao Baozhu.
Qiao Baozhu is very popular in the cafeteria. When they see her being bullied, everyone stands up to defend her.
Everyone in the cafeteria united as one, vowing to teach Qiao Changgui a lesson.
Qiao Changgui didn't expect that Erya, whom he looked down upon, actually had so many people helping her.
He felt both regretful and annoyed. He regretted listening to the old woman and provoking Erya, and he was also annoyed that Xifeng was not well-informed.
The most annoying one is the damn Arya. He was surrounded and humiliated by so many people, but no one said a word for him.
In short, Qiao Changgui never thinks that there is anything wrong with him, and that it is always someone else's fault.
Qiao Changgui is a typical person who is a giant in thought but a dwarf in action. He kept cursing and blaming Qiao Baozhu in his heart, but he didn't dare to really break up with her.
"I'm not lying, Arya, please tell them for me."
Qiao Changgui would never admit that he had stolen other people's clothes, and he dared not admit that he had deliberately come to Qiao Baozhu's house to embarrass her.
"What? That you deliberately dressed up as a beggar and went to the canteen to cause trouble?"
"I just can't figure it out. Your home is three miles away from the farm. How did you run to the staff dormitory to pick up a torn cotton jacket?"
Seeing that Qiao Baozhu had no intention of settling the matter peacefully, Fang Shan guessed that she just wanted to watch the show.
He simply rushed out and exposed Qiao Changgui's little thoughts step by step.
"Well, I've already told you that my family is very poor and I don't have a cotton-padded jacket to wear. Girl, why are you so unreasonable? When have I ever offended you? Why do you have to embarrass a farmer like me?"
Qiao Changgui's eyes flickered, he felt extremely nervous, but he was very stubborn. He had always used his poverty as an excuse, but he never thought that this excuse had become a joke in the eyes of everyone.
"Poor? Can poor people afford to wear sweaters? Can poor people afford to wear dog-skin cotton vests? What kind of poor are you? Or did you pick up all the clothes on your body?"
Fang Shan's words served as a reminder to everyone.
Qiao Changgui could "pick up" a cotton-padded jacket at the door of Yang Wanli's house, and he could also "pick up" a sweater from someone else's clothesline.
"It's hard to say. The sweater he's wearing belongs to someone else. This old guy has dirty hands and feet. He should be taken to the site and interrogated by the security team."
"That's right! Yang Wanli lives in the last row of staff dormitories. If you want to get there, you have to go around from Dormitory 3. Those who live in Dormitory 3, come and see whose sweater this old guy is wearing!"
When the lie was exposed, Qiao Changgui lost his credibility.
No matter how he explained, no matter how hard he tried to prove that the sweater he was wearing was his, no one believed him.
Seeing that everyone was about to send Qiao Changgui to the farm security brigade, Qiao Baozhu slowly stood up.
"Everyone! Please listen to me."
Qiao Baozhu's gentle and clear voice sounded, and the noisy noise suddenly quieted down.
"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. I am really sorry for taking up your lunch break because of my family affairs."
After saying this, Qiao Baozhu bowed respectfully to everyone.
When everyone saw Qiao Baozhu actually bowed to apologize, some people waved their hands and said there was no need to apologize, some said that this did not count as taking up lunch time, and some said that it was not Qiao Baozhu's fault.
No matter what everyone said, Qiao Changgui was stunned by Qiao Baozhu's behavior.
He couldn't understand what Qiao Baozhu was doing, but he was very panicked, feeling that this girl was going to cause trouble.
Qiao Baozhu raised her head and smiled sweetly at everyone.
The bright smile made the tears hanging in her eyes look even more crystal clear and beautiful.
Faced with the accusations from their biological father, the feeling of helplessness and inability to express one's suffering was something that many educated youth from unhappy families could relate to.
"You are all ambitious young people from all over the world, working together in the Great Northern Wilderness. It is my honor to be on the same farm with you outstanding young people. I am deeply moved by your bravery, enthusiasm and justice."
"Thank you, everyone, for speaking up for me."
Qiao Baozhu bowed to everyone again.
Now everyone could see that Qiao Baozhu was in such a state of pain that she could not express. No one spoke, and they wanted to see what she would do.
"As the saying goes, there are no parents who are not good. Even though he abandoned me many years ago and the severance certificate is still there, it still cannot erase the fact that he is my biological father."
"No matter how they frame me, as a daughter, I can't and dare not say anything."
When Qiao Baozhu said this, tears fell down her cheeks. She took a deep breath and smiled brightly, pretending to be indifferent.
"I beg you all, for the sake of our shared educated youth, not to send him to the security brigade. Consider this as my plea to you all."
Qiao Baozhu bowed to everyone again, this time it was for Qiao Changgui.
"Lao Yang, my dad was wrong to steal your clothes. I will make you a new cotton-padded jacket as compensation. Please forgive him! OK?"
