Chapter 94 Let's bury him before it gets too hot.
When Yan Sui and her group left, Peng Xiufang and Song Yuxia arrived late.
They knew Guo Qiang's ducks had gotten into trouble, but they didn't expect him to call the police.
Now everyone in the village is saying that Yan Sui poisoned Guo Qiang's ducks in order to get revenge on him.
"Yan Sui, what happened?"
Yan Sui smiled and said, "It's alright, it's been resolved."
Song Yuxia glanced at the indignant Guo Qiang, "How do we resolve this?"
Yan Sui explained, "The police have preliminarily determined that it was done by wild animals, and it has nothing to do with me."
Peng Xiufang quickly realized, "Is it a leopard cat?"
After all, something similar had happened to the chickens in the orchard before.
"Yes, leopard cat."
Guo Qiang retorted angrily, "It's just a preliminary assessment, it's not certain yet! Yan Sui, you'd better watch out, don't let me find any fault with you."
Yan Sui raised the corners of her lips and ignored him.
She's got so many things to do, she doesn't have time to deal with him.
On the way back, Yan Sui listened to the people around her chatting casually.
It was mostly Granny Zhang talking, putting all her effort into trying to pin this blame on Yan Sui.
She couldn't hear a word the police said.
The more Grandma Yan listened, the more somber her expression became.
The old lady was originally a kind person and rarely got into conflicts with others.
Especially after becoming ill, he rarely got angry, and even his speech was gentle.
But at this moment, she didn't care about appearances and turned around to slap Granny Zhang across the face.
"The police officers already said it was eaten by a leopard cat. Do you think you're more capable than the police? You can convict someone just by talking? Then I could also say that your Zhao Hui is impotent. Is that true?"
The old lady's slap stunned everyone.
She was known for her good temper in Changqing Village; otherwise, she wouldn't have been bullied by Zhao Chunrong for so many years.
“My granddaughter is sensible; she respects the elderly and cares for the young. That’s no reason for you to push your luck! If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
Granny Zhang covered her face, staring wide-eyed in disbelief.
Being slapped in the face at her age, especially in front of so many people, filled her with humiliation and brought tears to her eyes.
"You! You've gone too far! Just because your son is the Party Secretary, you're bullying a lonely old woman like me! Police, you saw her hit me, arrest her! Arrest her!"
Yu Gongan looked up at the sky, feeling utterly exhausted.
"Of course I can arrest her, but you just slandered someone's granddaughter and cursed her all the way. Shouldn't you be arrested too?"
Granny Zhang was stunned. "What? What right do you have to arrest me?"
"Old lady, what era are we living in? Don't you know that defamation is a criminal offense? The young girl isn't arguing with you, but you can't treat yourself like a human being."
Police officer Yu reprimanded her with a stern face: "The parties involved haven't raised any objections, yet you have so much to say. You suspect Yan Sui because you think we're covering for her? With all your talk, why don't you come to the police station to have a word with us?"
Granny Zhang only dared to act arrogantly in the village; once the police spoke up, she fell silent.
The police officer pointed at her and said, "If we don't keep an eye on your mouth, you'll get into trouble sooner or later."
After saying that, he led his colleagues away first.
Before leaving, he told Yan Sui, "Contact me anytime if anything happens."
He's not someone who doesn't use the internet, so naturally he knows what Yan Sui is doing in Changqing Village.
He deeply understands how difficult it is for young people to return to their villages and do something meaningful.
His daughter graduated from university last year and wants to return to the village to contract a piece of land to grow strawberries.
As a result, the strawberries were ruined by a group of elderly men and women not long after they were planted.
They uprooted about half of the strawberry seedlings, and when the police came to their door afterward, they not only insisted they had done nothing wrong, but also gave a vehement account:
“We thought it was wild, something that grew in the village, so why can’t we touch it?”
Because too many people were involved, and they were all elderly, the matter was eventually dropped.
After a long wait for the strawberries to bear fruit, before the fruit was even ripe, those elderly folks came again, drawn by the smell.
They swept away all the still-green strawberries in the field, wishing they could leave not even the seedlings.
He still remembers that feeling of despair.
Yan Sui watched the police officer leave, and only after they had gone far away did she turn to look at Granny Zhang.
“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll grab a loudspeaker and broadcast your grandson Zhao Hui’s story at the village entrance every day.”
Granny Zhang was shocked. "What could possibly be wrong with my grandson!"
"Whether something happens or not depends entirely on my word, doesn't it? If I say he's impotent and likes to use backdoors, I'll broadcast it on the loudspeaker at the village entrance for two days, and your grandson will have a hard time finding a wife in the future."
Song Yuxia scoffed, "It's difficult now too; his reputation is already ruined."
He was a scoundrel, yet he wanted to marry an only girl from the city and bring her home to cook and clean for him.
He keeps shouting that he will boycott bride price, but he hopes that his wealthy father-in-law will give him a car and a house.
She never dared to dream of something this good.
Granny Zhang trembled with rage, "How dare you!"
Yan Sui raised her chin. "How many times have you tried to smear others? If you dare to do that, why shouldn't I?"
Only after intimidating Granny Zhang did she take her grandmother's hand and go home.
"Don't pay any attention to her anymore, just treat her like a dog barking. She hit you so hard, your hand must hurt." She rubbed the old lady's palm.
The gold bracelet on her hand was thus revealed and noticed by Peng Xiufang.
“Auntie, I’ve never seen you wear this bracelet before.”
The old lady couldn't stop smiling when the bracelet was mentioned.
"It's Mother's Day today, Yan Sui gave it to me, and my two daughters-in-law each received one. Tell me, what's so special about an old woman like me wearing one?"
Peng Xiufang said enviously, "Yan Sui is a filial child. You are so lucky."
Song Yuxia, however, was thinking that she also wanted to earn money to buy one for her grandmother.
"Gold is so expensive right now, this bracelet must cost 30,000, right?"
Yan Sui saw through her thoughts and smiled, "The one I bought is heavy, but there are also cheaper styles available."
Song Yuxia nodded, "When I save up some money, I can buy one for my grandma too."
After hearing her words, Granny Zhang looked at her thoughtfully for a while.
He suddenly stepped forward and reached out to take her hand.
Song Yuxia was startled and quickly moved away.
What are you doing!
Granny Zhang smiled and asked, "Yuxia, how much do you earn a month?"
Song Yuxia's expression turned cold. "Our salaries aren't a secret in the village, are they? They're all the same."
The only difference is probably the overtime pay.
The more they work, the more they earn. Yan Sui can see what work they've done and won't treat them unfairly.
Granny Zhang asked mysteriously, "Five thousand? That's quite a lot. You should save up for your dowry. Your grandmother is so old, practically half-buried, why would she wear a gold bracelet?"
Judging from the salary alone, she felt that Song Yuxia's conditions were barely good enough for her grandson.
Marry her and train her slowly, no problem.
Song Yuxia scoffed and glared at her irritably.
"My money, if I don't spend it on my grandma, why should I spend it on you? Before it gets too hot, let's get her buried. Stop coveting things that aren't yours."
Granny Zhang was furious. "What kind of attitude is this! I originally wanted my grandson to marry you, but now... Humph! No wonder no one wants you!"
