Wang Ju is a rural woman who has never been to the army and has no idea about the military rules.
She thought He Shaochuan was trying to scare her, so Wang Ju stiffened her neck and retorted.
"I don't care what punishment you get. If you don't pay up the 30,000 yuan today, no one will be allowed to leave!"
Wang Ju fell to the ground just like she did when they first met.
This action seemed to be a provocation to Ning He, as if if Ning He dared to leave, he would have to step over her!
The villagers' discussions could be heard from time to time.
"What do you mean 30,000 yuan? As the village chief, how can Old Ning have the nerve to let his daughter ask a widow and an orphan for money?"
"That's right! How could this old Ning family be such a person?"
There was constant discussion, but all this discussion only fueled Wang Ju's arrogance.
She lay on the ground, unable to hold back her tears and howling, "Who said it wasn't? Come and take a look, take a look!"
"The village chief's daughter cheated on my son and now she's trying to cheat him out of his money. How are we, an orphan and a widow, going to survive?"
Ning Chen walked forward with a cold face, stared down at Wang Ju, and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that my sister cheated Ye Rong out of 30,000 yuan?"
When the evidence was mentioned, Ye Rong's expression changed a thousand times, but he was reluctant to say a word.
I'm not saying anything because there's no evidence at all.
Ning He said that he would change the name of the contract to his, but until now Ye Rong has not even seen the shadow of the contract.
There is no contract, so where does the evidence come from?
All the evidence is Ning He’s verbal statement.
A vicious look flashed across Ye Rong's face. He stared at Ning He and finally realized that Ning He did it on purpose!
She deliberately used sweet words to gain his trust and lure him into her trap.
In front of all the villagers, Ye Rong said directly to Ning Chen: "It was you who told Ning He that if she paid 30,000 yuan, she could become the principal of the school. I paid Ning He's 30,000 yuan. You should take out the contract now, and we will sign and modify the contract in front of everyone."
"Ye Rong, who told you that you can become the principal by paying 30,000 yuan?" Ning Chen's tone was calm, without any trace of emotion.
Ye Rong frowned: "What do you mean?"
Ning Chen did not answer Ye Rong's words immediately, but turned to look at the villagers around him.
"The village committee broadcasts news about important events in the village every day. Does anyone remember what was broadcast during this period?"
When talking about the village committee’s broadcast, many villagers still remember it.
Voices came from the crowd.
"I still remember the radio broadcast that our Shili Village was going to build a school. I heard that the village committee would fund the construction of the school, including the subsequent enrollment of students. There was no tuition fee and everyone could go to school for free."
"Yes, yes, I remember that too! It was after I heard the broadcast that I waited for the school to be built so that my grandson could come back from the county town to study there."
"That's right. My son and daughter-in-law rent a house in the county town, which costs a lot of money every month, not to mention the money for the children to go to school. All they earn is not enough to cover their expenses. If a school is built in the village, they can come back to study and save a lot of money on tuition fees."
"Who said it wasn't? This is a good thing! How come Ye Rong said he was the one who paid for building the school?"
"That's right. Although 30,000 yuan is a lot of money, is it enough to build a school? Can people live in this school?"
…
There was a lot of chatter all around, making Ye Rong's face look even uglier.
Ning He also stood out from behind He Shaochuan, and she looked at Ye Rong calmly.
He slowly said, "Ye Rong, you said I asked you for 30,000 yuan, but you couldn't produce any evidence in front of so many people. What is your intention in just saying that?"
"Let's not talk about your inability to produce evidence. For the support my parents have given your family over the past decade, even if I asked you for 30,000 yuan, it wouldn't be too much, right? For the care and support over the past decade, I'm afraid it's worth more than 30,000 yuan, right?"
Ning He's remarks made the surrounding villagers indignant.
"What Ning He said makes sense! The Ning family has had a hard time these years. Taking care of the orphans and widows costs more than 30,000 yuan. Even if Ning He really asked Ye Rong for 30,000 yuan, it makes sense for him not to pay it back."
These words naturally fell into Ye Rong's ears. He looked flustered and shook his head to explain: "No, Ning He really asked me for 30,000 yuan! This money must be returned to me!"
Ning He looked at Ye Rong who was a little bit embarrassed, her face did not change, and continued: "Ye Rong, our Ning family has treated you well. We have supported you over the years and have never asked you and your son for anything. Now you and your son are biting back at our Ning family in public. What are you thinking?"
Who can't act pitiful?
Needless to say, the Ning family has a good reputation in Shili Village, and everyone applauds and praises them.
The villagers had a preconceived notion and believed that the Ning family would never commit fraud.
On the contrary, as for Wang Ju and her son, although Ye Rong did not do anything wrong, Wang Ju was notoriously cunning and deceitful in the village, so it was not surprising that she would do something to wrongly accuse the Ning family.
"Wang Ju, you and your son are going too far. The Ning family has made so many contributions to the village. We villagers didn't have to pay a penny to build the school, but you two insist that the Ning family owes you something. Then you say the school is yours. How come you two are taking all the benefits? You are so shameless!"
Wang Ju and Ye Rong had no way to defend themselves. Wang Ju wanted to say something, but before she could even finish her words, the villagers spontaneously stepped forward and carried Wang Ju away.
"Ning He, hurry up and don't delay your return to the team."
Ning He smiled and nodded, holding Qianlin's hand with He Shaochuan following behind. After the family of three said goodbye to their family and villagers, they left Shili Village.
Sitting on the train back to the army, Ning He finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
Qianlin asked curiously, "Mom, what are you so happy about?"
Ning He touched Qian Lin's head and asked him, "Lin Bao, when the school at home is built, can we go back home to study?"
"Will mom come home then?"
Ning He nodded: "Of course, Mom will go home with Lin Bao."
Qianlin turned his head and looked at He Shaochuan behind him and asked, "What about Dad?"
Ning He glanced at He Shaochuan, meeting his deep eyes, and said, "Your father has to stay in the army. He is a soldier and has his own duties and missions. He has to defend the country and protect us."
"Mom, when will the school at home be built?"
Qianlin wondered how long he could stay in the army. Although he loved his mother, he couldn't bear to leave his father.
"I don't know about this either, but until the school at home is built, Linbao can go to school in the compound first."
Qianlin asked again in confusion: "Then mom won't work in the cafeteria?"
