Lin Mengling looked at Wu Chengyu expectantly, hoping that he would let her stay. If she was sent back to the Youth League Office, she would definitely be sent to the farm.
It’s not a good idea to report to the police. What should I do if she has a criminal record?
Wu Chengyu thought about it and decided to defend Lin Mengling. After all, she was an educated youth. If what she had done was really confirmed, it would be more difficult for them, the educated youth, to live in the brigade in the future.
"Captain, Lin Zhiqing has indeed called the Lei family. Although she is a little slow, it is not very convenient for a girl to walk in this bumpy terrain..."
"How can you say that? What do you mean by although it's a little slow? Oh, it doesn't hurt if it doesn't prick your flesh, right?"
"That's right. City people are just too delicate. They've been walking on bumpy mud for more than a year and they still can't walk steadily."
Wu Chengyu's face changed: "Captain, this incident definitely was not intentional on the part of Lin Zhiqing, and there is no way to prove that she deliberately told Si Zhiqing that her husband had died.
There was no witness who saw Lin Zhiqing not calling the Lei family members, she really did call them that.”
The captain looked at him with a sullen face.
"Okay, let's not talk about whether Lin Zhiqing deliberately said that Lei's father's daughter, then what evidence do you have to prove that Lin Zhiqing got off the ground and called for help?"
Lin Mengling looked at Wu Zhiqing who was defending her, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. After listening to the captain's words, she looked at Wu Zhiqing with expectant eyes.
Seeing that Wu Zhiqing didn't say anything, the captain continued.
"Whether there is evidence or not, what you say doesn't count. I think if we report it to the police, they will definitely be able to find out. After all, professional things should be left to professionals."
Seeing that the captain insisted on reporting to the police, Lin Mengling quickly stood up, ran over, picked up the firewood and put it around her neck.
"Ah...you bunch of country folks are trying to force me to death. Didn't you say that I harmed Si Yueyue? Then I will pay for her life..."
The captain saw that she was a little crazy, so he quickly sent someone to stop her: "Quick...quickly hold her down for me."
This action sped up Lin Mengling's movements. She was scratched on the neck and was pushed to the ground.
"Da Hu, let's ask Doctor Wang to come and see her." The young man called Da Hu ran away immediately after hearing this.
Others were shocked by Lin Mengling's sudden action. Some even thought that she was determined to die, and that perhaps the Lei family had really wronged her.
People are weak in emotions. As long as the emotions are not directed at themselves, they will consciously make excuses for others.
Lei Dashu saw that the eyes of the team leaders were gradually turning towards Lin Mengling, and he felt something was wrong, so he spoke quickly.
"Captain, our Lei family will not wrongly accuse good people, nor will we let bad people go. Since Lin Zhiqing said he was wronged, let's report it to the police and let them investigate."
"Yes, yes, let the police investigate. The police will not favor anyone."
The captain didn't say anything. He squinted at Lin Mengling and said, "Are you trying to threaten us with death?"
Lin Mengling covered her neck, lowered her head and said nothing.
"Heh... I went to the battlefield when I was a teenager and killed countless Japanese soldiers. I can still tell if someone really wants to die."
After hearing what the captain said, the team members' faces turned extremely ugly. They were still in love with her, and she was still calculating their infatuation at this time?
"Captain, such an unrepentant person is not worthy of staying in our team. We support reporting him to the police..."
When Lin Mengling heard everyone saying this, her face turned even paler. She wanted to explain, but her voice was drowned out by the noise.
At this time, Da Hu brought Doctor Wang over. Doctor Wang used to be a barefoot doctor in their village. After liberation, he took a barefoot medical certificate and could practice medicine in the brigade.
Doctor Wang examined Lin Mengling and drew a small path for her. He then said to the captain beside him: "It's okay. Apply some medicine and she will be well soon."
After knowing this, the captain nodded and had her tied up and taken to the town police station overnight.
Seeing that the team leader was so straightforward, the other educated youth did not dare to say anything and just stood quietly by.
Wu Chengyu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Lin Mengling looked at everyone with a pale face, she knew she was finished.
After the team leader and his men left, others began to leave the educated youth site one after another. When the Lei family returned home, they heard giggling coming from the old man's wife's room.
