"Don't deny it! If you don't believe me, ask Sister Lan!" Seeing Qi Xinwei's angry look, he was a little scared, but thinking that there were so many people around and the other party would not dare to hit him, he plucked up the courage to say.
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Qi Xinlan.
"I don't know where you came to this conclusion. First, we have never met before, and today is the first time we meet. Second, Xu Minghao and I are already dating. I like my partner very much, and we will be engaged soon." Qi Xinlan said in a cold voice with a cold face.
Qi Xinlan was right. Qi Xinlan had been studying in the town before and seldom went home. When she came home, she would do her homework or cook. She basically never went out to work. This was mainly because her parents and brother spoiled her, so all the girls in the village envied Qi Xinlan's blessing.
"Don't deny it, I have evidence!" Ermazi was furious when he saw Qi Xinlan turned her face and refused to admit it, and he retorted.
"Everyone, look, what is this? This is the little note Qi Xinlan wrote to me." Er Mazi didn't give Qi Xinlan time to speak. He turned around and faced everyone. He took out a note from his arms and showed it in front of everyone. Most of the people had attended literacy classes, so they still recognized these simple words.
After watching it, everyone had different expressions. Some looked at Qi Xinlan with shock, confusion, sympathy, disgust, and some with malicious intent.
Seeing this, Bai Xue in the crowd revealed a victorious smile on her slightly lowered face, "Qi Xinlan, let's see how you can clear your name!"
"Let me see." Qi Xinwei rushed forward to grab it. He didn't believe that his sister would write anything to Ermazi. It must be that Ermazi was a toad wanting to eat swan meat and wanted to slander Qi Xinlan's reputation.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I told you to show it, so what if you tear the paper off? Who can I complain to?" Er Mazi turned around and avoided Qi Xinwei, then put his hands on his hips and grinned.
"You don't dare to look at us in front of me. I think you want to slander my daughter's reputation and force her to marry you. You are such a vicious person!" Zhao Lan heard Ermazi's words and pointed at him angrily.
"Mother-in-law, what happened?" At this time, Aunt Xu walked out of the crowd. In addition to the village chief, she was accompanied by a group of villagers who came to watch the fun.
"Mother-in-law, someone is slandering our Lanlan and wants to ruin my daughter's reputation. I only have this one daughter. Isn't this trying to kill me?" When Zhao Lan heard Aunt Xu's voice, tears fell from her eyes.
"Mother-in-law, don't cry. I believe Lan Zi is innocent." Aunt Xu comforted Zhao Lan when she saw how sad she was.
She had been in contact with Qi Xinlan for a few days and had some understanding of her temperament. Every time she looked at her son, there was shyness in her eyes, which clearly showed that she liked her son. Besides, Qi Xinlan was talented and beautiful, so how could she fall for Ermazi, an ugly, poor and lazy man? So she hurried over when she heard some rumors.
"Ermazi, have you had enough of making trouble? If you have, go back quickly." The village chief stood aside and had learned what had happened from the villagers. He shouted angrily.
"Village chief, don't favor them just because Qi Guohui is your good friend. I'm making this clear today. I'm set on this marriage!" Er Mazi shouted loudly.
\"You said I wrote you a note. I remember it very clearly. I have never written you a note before. Please take out the note and let me see it." Qi Xinlan looked at Ermazi with cold eyes and said coldly.
"That won't work. What if you tear up the note?" Er Mazi saw that Qi Xinlan's eyes were as poisonous as if they were filled with poison, which made his spine cold and his scalp tingle. When did this little girl's eyes become so terrifying? But thinking of marrying her, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and gritted his teeth.
"Then give me the note and I'll keep it. They won't dare to tear it up." The village chief said with a serious face.
"Yes, Ermazi, give the note to the village chief. With so many people watching, they definitely won't dare to do anything wrong."
"Yes, if they dare to tear it apart, it would mean they are guilty of a crime."
"Could it be that you, Er Mazi, are slandering the girl from the Qi family? That's why you don't dare to show it to the real owner."
"That's right, that's right. He doesn't even look at his own character. Would a girl from the Qi family like him? I think it's probably 80% to 90% slander."
Among the crowd, some people believe it, and some don't.
Er Mazi couldn't stand the pressure and gave the note to the village chief. After all, he hadn't slandered anyone! He felt at ease!
"Miss Lan, take a look. Did you write this?" The village chief took the note and handed it to Qi Xinlan.
"Village chief, it wasn't written by me." Qi Xinlan took a look and found the handwriting somewhat familiar to her, but she was sure that she had never written it, so she shook her head and replied.
"You said it wasn't written by you, so it wasn't written by you. What evidence do you have?" Er Mazi said hurriedly when he saw Qi Xinlan denying it.
"Lan Zi, take out your previous homework books and compare them." The village chief ignored Er Mazi. He also believed what Qi Xinlan said, so he proposed a method, hoping to solve the problem as soon as possible.
"I'll get it." After hearing this, Zhao Lan immediately ran back to the room and took out Qi Xinlan's school notebook in a short while.
The village chief compared the notebook with the note, and everyone else looked over and found that the handwriting was exactly the same!
"This..." The village chief couldn't believe it, and his voice was trembling.
"Look, it was Miss Lan who wrote to me, asking me to propose marriage, otherwise I wouldn't have come." Er Mazi also saw it and said proudly.
"The handwriting is similar, but it's not mine. Handwriting can be imitated, and I seriously suspect that you imitated my handwriting and then framed me. Besides, what is there about you that makes me like you? Your looks? My girlfriend is miles better than you. Your education? You didn't even graduate from elementary school. Your family background? Just based on your shabby thatched house?" Qi Xinlan said with a cold smile.
"You..." Ermazi was unable to refute for a moment.
Seeing this, Bai Xue thought to herself that this was not a good thing, so she said, "Er Mazi, you are like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. With your poverty, are you worthy of our Lanzi? I'm afraid you can't even afford paper and pen?"
Qi Xinlan had a cold face and said nothing, glancing at Bai Xue.
Bai Xue's words seemed to be helping her, but in fact they were a reminder to Ermazi.
"Yes, yes, yes. My family is poor and I can't afford paper and pen. Besides, this paper is pink and tender, and it's obviously used by women. I'm a grown man and I don't use such womanly things. It was obviously you who wrote to me, and you still don't admit it?" Er Mazi's eyes lit up when he heard Bai Xue's words.
"What should I admit? If anyone has to admit anything, it should be Bai Xue, right? Right? Bai Xue!" Qi Xinlan looked at Bai Xue without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
"Basket...what do you mean?" Bai Xue said with a pale face.
"Let's talk about the handwriting issue first. Everyone has their own writing habits. Even if someone is imitating someone deliberately, you can still see the difference in details, such as the direction of the pen tip, pauses, and the unique way of writing certain fonts. Although the handwriting on the note looks like mine, there are pauses in many places, which shows that this person imitated me very carefully. Moreover, the font is not smooth, and the horizontal, vertical, left, and right strokes are not connected!" Qi Xinlan said as she rewrote her own words on paper.
Everyone looked over and found that although the fonts were the same, Qi Xinlan's handwriting was obviously more majestic and smoother. A careful comparison revealed that one was authentic and the other was a fake.
