"During the day, Aunt Zhao told me about the marriage exchange. She was afraid that Xie Jianguo and Chang Meili would be criticized by others for marrying, so she asked me to marry Comrade Xie Yu, and I agreed to consider it."
Chang Suisui took a deep breath, then stared at Zhao Xiulan and asked, "Aunt Zhao, I've already promised you, why are you still so aggressive? You put on such a scene in the middle of the night and let the whole village know about it. Are you afraid that I will regret it?"
"Oh, Zhao Xiulan is so cruel. She even resorted to such means for her son's marriage."
"That's right. Look at Chang Zhiqing. He is usually so honest and well behaved. How could he stand such a torment from her?"
"Everyone in our village knows that she usually withholds food rations from her brother-in-law, and now she is marrying the educated youth who was exchanged for marriage. Isn't this a fraudulent marriage?"
"Tsk tsk, this Zhao Xiulan is usually very smart, I didn't expect that she would play such a big game this time."
"If you ask me, if this marriage really happens, Chang Zhiqing will be miserable."
…
Zhao Xiulan's face changed again and again, and her expression was obviously a little ferocious, "Stop talking nonsense! Our Jianguo doesn't like a rag like you! You don't know what's wrong with you that someone else has taken your man away from you!"
She would never let Chang Suisui drag her son into this!
Her son is the most promising person in the entire Hongqi Village, and he will become a high-ranking official in the future!
She would never let Chang Suisui tarnish his reputation!
After Zhao Xiulan said this, everyone's opinions began to change again.
"Oh, after hearing what Zhao Xiulan said, is there really something wrong with Chang Zhiqing?"
"Who knows? Look at her. She doesn't like to talk much. Maybe she really has some hidden secret."
"Tsk tsk, it seems that Chang Zhiqing's fiancé fell in love with her cousin at that time. If Chang Zhiqing had no problems, would he have fallen in love with her cousin?"
"That makes sense. She is incapable of keeping a man. What else could it be?"
"That's right. We'd better stay out of it to avoid getting into trouble."
…
Zhao Xiulan listened with satisfaction as the villagers around her spoke to her. She raised her chin proudly and looked at Chang Suisui, wishing she could step on her into the mud.
"Enough!" Xie Yu listened to the increasingly unpleasant words from the people around him, and his originally solemn face became tense.
The veins on his forehead were particularly prominent in his anger, and his sharp eyes swept across the crowd, almost silencing everyone present.
Everyone was intimidated by Xie Yu's aura and dared not make a sound.
Xie Yu's dark eyes swept through the crowd and he said sternly, "Qian Weimin!"
"arrive!"
Qian Weimin responded to Xie Yu's words almost subconsciously, and immediately stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of Xie Yu.
It seemed that their team leader was really anxious, otherwise he would not have called him out in public.
However, Qian Weimin had just begun to dislike these villagers who were adding fuel to the fire.
If their leader doesn't speak up, he will give them a good beating later!
"Go to the town and call the director of the Public Security Bureau, Li Dayong, and tell him that someone here is openly slandering and spreading rumors about veterans! Ask him to deal with it seriously!" Xie Yu's voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable arrogance.
Qian Weimin's smile brightened immediately. Without even thinking twice, he responded, "Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
Li Dayong was a soldier under their regiment commander before, and he could fight wherever his commander pointed!
If their leader hadn't strongly protected him, how could Li Dayong have become the director of the Public Security Bureau?
As Qian Weimin thought about this, his steps quickened.
Just as he was about to go out, Zhao Xiulan, who had reacted, immediately grabbed Qian Weimin's arm and said, "You can't go!"
Although she didn't know whether the Public Security Bureau Director Li Dayong had any relationship with Xie Yu.
But these days, anything involving the Public Security Bureau is bound to lead to bad luck!
What's more, they are the defendants!
Defamation and slander against veterans doesn't sound like an easy charge...
Zhao Xiulan's face turned pale, and her lips trembled. "You...what rights do you have to sue us? We just told the truth!"
Xie Yu ignored her excuses.
His gaze was like a cold sword, tearing through Zhao Xiulan's mask. "Tell the truth? Is your so-called truth based on slander and rumors? Since you think it's okay, let the police make the decision!"
The villagers nearby also became anxious. They just came here to watch the fun, but who knew that they would be sent to jail if they said a few words?
"We were just talking casually, how could we have known it would become such a big deal?" a villager said timidly, his eyes flickering.
"Yes, we really have no ill intentions, we just spoke too quickly." Another villager echoed, obviously feeling a little uneasy.
"Xie Yu, we are all from the same village, so please don't bother with us." Some older villagers also stood up and tried to impress Xie Yu with their hometown feelings.
"Yes, yes, we really know we were wrong, and we will never dare to do it again."
…
Chang Suisui stood next to Xie Yu and saw that he was willing to expose his relationship with Qian Weimin in order to help her get justice.
She suddenly felt that this rough man was not as rough as she had imagined.
Even a little cute...
In fact, she could easily solve the problem that Zhao Xiulan was looking for.
But Xie Yu's defense really touched her heart.
Since he was protecting her sincerely, she would naturally not let him suffer any loss.
If they really arrested all these villagers, I'm afraid that even if they got married, their life in the village would not be much easier.
Chang Suisui raised his hand and gently patted Xie Yu's arm, then he said, "Comrade Xie, I think the people in our village are kind-hearted, but they may have been misled..."
As soon as she said this excuse, others immediately put the blame on Zhao Xiulan.
And each one of their words was more unpleasant than the last.
"Chang Zhiqing is right! It's all because of that gossipy woman Zhao Xiulan who keeps gossiping in the village. We've all been led astray by her!"
"That's right, Zhao Xiulan is always gossiping in the village!"
"She's such a person, and she's the village chief's wife? I really don't know why our village chief would fall for such a person?"
"That's right. If it weren't for her, how could we have misunderstood Chang Zhiqing? Now we are all made into criminals."
"Yes, yes, yes. We must stay away from her from now on to avoid being harmed by her."
"People like Zhao Xiulan should be taught a lesson and sent to jail! Let her know that the mouth can bring disaster!"
…
Chang Suisui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and raised his eyebrows at Zhao Xiulan, who had a gloomy face, and then mouthed two words -
