Chapter 86: Don’t Air Your Shame in Public
Seeing that Su Nanzhi, the person involved, didn't say anything, the two police officers didn't say anything more.
"Nanzhi, what help have you given to the police?"
An old lady in the crowd couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
In addition to sending Su Nanzhi home, the two police officers also publicized Su Nanzhi's bravery.
The two of them immediately started talking one after another about how Su Nanzhi rescued the person from the human traffickers.
Su Nanzhi didn't expect that the two policemen were so eloquent. The villagers made nervous noises from time to time, and looked at Su Nanzhi as if they were some great hero.
Su Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable. Just when she was about to say modestly that she was just raising her hand, she heard Huang Xiumei speak.
"Nanzhi has been following my son Alie since he was little. I guess he learned his warm-heartedness from Alie."
Su Nanzhi didn't want to flatter herself, but she didn't want to give Qin Lie any face either.
"Brother Lie never taught me that." Su Nanzhi put on a confused look on her face. "Every time I go out, he tells me not to meddle in other people's business, saying that people who meddle in other people's business are fools."
"Su Nanzhi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Huang Xiumei interrupted with a shout. Realizing that she had overreacted, she immediately said softly to Su Nanzhi, "Nanzhi, did you have a fight with your brother Lie? You are such a hot-tempered kid, too."
"If you're angry, tell Aunt Xiumei why you're still talking bad about people like a child."
Su Nanzhi raised her eyebrows, but didn't argue with her. She said to an aunt in the crowd who looked like she was enjoying the show, "Aunt Chunhua, didn't you hear what Brother Lie said to me that day?"
The aunt named Chunhua was stunned at first, then immediately nodded.
"That's right. Qin Lie has been smart since he was young. When he was young, he would not do anything without profit. I don't know how he joined the army when he grew up, and he even became a high-ranking official."
When she said the second half of the sentence, Aunt Chunhua's tone was full of sourness.
Su Nanzhi looked at Huang Xiumei, whose eyes were wide open with anger, with a calm expression on her face.
Aunt Chunhua and Huang Xiumei grew up together. When they grew up, they married and moved to Qinjia Village. The man they married happened to live next door.
The two people have disliked each other since they were young. When they were young, they compared looks and husbands, and when they were old, they compared children.
Aunt Chunhua lost because she didn't have a promising son like Qin Lie.
Hearing Su Nanzhi's words at this moment, he naturally would not miss this opportunity to step on Huang Xiumei.
And she was not wrong.
Qin Lie has been a cunning kid since he was young. He doesn't do anything bad himself, but he actually orders her stupid son to do it. For this, she has taught her younger son a lesson many times.
Huang Xiumei didn't doubt that her son had never said this, but she still remembered what her husband said about not blaming her son, so she naturally couldn't admit it and immediately started arguing with Aunt Chunhua.
The two men had new hatreds and old grudges, and they wished they could tell each other what happened eight hundred years ago.
"Huang Chunhua, what nonsense are you talking about? Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart."
"Huang Xiumei, come on if you can. I'm not a vegetarian just because I gave birth to three sons. And am I wrong? This is what your future daughter-in-law said, and I heard it too."
Huang Xiumei and Huang Chunhua were cursing at each other, but they felt even more uneasy.
Su Nanzhi seemed like a different person after returning from the army. If Su Nanzhi didn't look the same as before, she would have suspected that someone was impersonating Su Nanzhi.
The more panicked he was, the more unforgiving his words became. Just as the two men were about to fight, they were stopped by the village chief who arrived late.
The village chief first glared at the two of them. The face of Qinjia Village was completely disgraced by these two women.
Seeing that it was the village chief, the two naturally did not dare to speak anymore. Under the persuasion of the villagers, they stood aside and stopped talking.
After the two of them behaved themselves, the village chief apologized repeatedly to the two police officers.
The police didn't expect that they would see this scene just when they came to send Su Nanzhi home. Seeing that someone finally showed up, they immediately repeated Su Nanzhi's heroic deeds to the village chief.
The village chief smiled so hard that his eyes disappeared, as if he was being praised.
But after he finished laughing, he quickly noticed Ding Xiaoli, who was not wearing a uniform and standing next to the two police officers.
"Who is this?"
Ding Xiaoli's heart tightened when she heard Su Nanzhi speak.
"This is Ding Xiaoli, an educated youth who came to our Qinjia Village to work in the countryside. It was only with Comrade Ding's help on the train that I was able to catch the human trafficker."
The two police officers looked at each other and did not correct that Ding Li was another victim rescued by Su Nanzhi.
Especially when they saw the surrounding villagers looking at them with admiration after hearing what Su Nanzhi said, they couldn't help but feel fortunate that they hadn't blurted out the introduction of Ding Li.
They had not been to the countryside for a long time and had forgotten many of the feudal ideas in the countryside.
Although Ding Li was rescued from the human traffickers at the first possible moment, they were afraid to think about the rumors as long as they were accused of having been abducted by human traffickers, especially since Ding Li was an educated youth sent to the countryside and had no relatives there.
Ding Xiaoli also felt relieved. Although she was rescued by Su Nanzhi, she didn't sleep the whole night. When she closed her eyes, she felt like she was back to the time when she was kidnapped by human traffickers.
She just wanted to forget it and didn't want anyone to mention it again.
Su Nanzhi grew up in Qinjia Village. Although most villagers in Qinjia Village are kind, they will not underestimate the evil of human nature.
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately broke into a huge smile.
He was the one who arranged all the educated youth in the village. He originally thought that the educated youth who did not report in time due to illness would cause trouble.
After all, the authorities had sent a lot of educated youth from the city to their village in recent years. However, these educated youth were ignorant, could not do any work, and had bad tempers.
Although Ding Xiaoli looks spoiled, she at least has the courage to stand up for what is right.
With this kind of ideological awareness, nothing serious will happen.
After the two policemen chatted with the village chief for a few words, they looked at the sky and saw that it was completely dark. Then, regardless of the village chief's attempts to keep them, they got in the car and left.
As the car drove away, the smile on the village chief's face faded slightly. He then looked at Su Nanzhi, who had been watching the excitement, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Su girl, you did a good thing and deserve praise and learning. In the future, before you talk to outsiders, think first. Don't let family disgrace be made public."
Although he only heard a few words of the quarrel between Huang Xiumei and the other person, the village chief quickly grasped the key points.
The village chief's surname is also Qin, and his name is Qin Dacang. He is fair in his dealings, but a little pedantic.
Su Nanzhi thought that she would need Qin Dacang in the future, so although she was a little unhappy with what he said at the moment, she still nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Qin Dacang's expression improved a little, but when he turned around and saw Huang Xiumei and the other person who looked unconvinced, he glared at them and started to teach them a lesson.
Huang Xiumei and the other woman were both over fifty years old. Although Qin Dacang was the village chief, he was of the same age as them, so they were a little unhappy. However, they also knew that a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake, so although they looked unwilling, they did not talk back.
Fortunately, Qin Dacang didn't keep talking.
After Qin Dacang finished muttering, he looked at Ding Xiaoli who was standing next to Su Nanzhi.
"It's late now, and there's no time to clean up the educated youth site. Why don't you stay at my house for the night?"
Ding Xiaoli looked at the villagers looking at her with curious eyes and shrank behind Su Nanzhi.
"Nanzhi, can I sleep at your house for one night?"
She only knew Su Nanzhi, and because of the human trafficker incident, she now wished she could stick to Su Nanzhi 24 hours a day.
Su Nanzhi was not averse to Ding Xiaoli and was about to agree.
"no."
Huang Xiumei looked Ding Xiaoli up and down critically.
Under normal circumstances, she would welcome these newly arrived educated youth to stay at her house. After all, they had just arrived and were financially comfortable.
But she was currently resentful towards Su Nanzhi, so naturally she would not give this face to Ding Xiaoli, who seemed to be very close to Su Nanzhi.
Huang Chunhua sneered, "Who just said that their son has always been helpful since he was young and learned it from his family? Is that all?"
"Huang Chunhua, what does it have to do with you?"
"I just don't like it, okay?"
…
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Qin Youcang immediately interrupted them.
"Huang Xiumei, what are you doing? Be careful not to embarrass your A-lie. Ding Zhiqing will stay at your house for one night. If not, wait until your Qin Youliang comes back, and I'll have a good talk with him."
Huang Xiumei didn't dare to say anything when she heard Qin Youliang's name.
Qin Youcang then turned to look at Huang Chunhua and the villagers on the side.
"Huang Chunhua, you are everywhere."
"And you guys, if you have nothing to do, go home and sleep early. You have to go to the fields to work early tomorrow morning."
After saying this, he didn't wait for anyone to react and went back home with his hands behind his back.
Without the excitement, the villagers dispersed and went home.
