The village chief's persuasion was ineffective; Xiao Li simply wouldn't compromise. In the end, Dong Hongjun took her to town on his bicycle.
The three of them followed in their car, trying to persuade Xiaoli, but she wouldn't budge.
The three men really wanted to just run over the wretched old woman in front of them and kill her, but their remaining rationality made them obediently follow her into the police station.
You know, it was these same three people in her past life who, upon entering the village, acted like bandits. Without saying a word, they handcuffed Old Lady Dong and took her away. She was terrified and trembling with fear.
Later, they casually said that everything had been investigated and everything was fine, and released the person. But these past few days have been tough. As soon as he was released, he fell ill and nearly died.
This time, none of the three will have an easy time.
Xiao Li went straight into the director's office.
"Chief, you're like Bao Zheng to us ordinary people! You have to stand up for us!"
Director Li was startled. What was going on? Looking at the three subordinates following behind him, he was completely bewildered.
"What happened? Auntie, don't worry, have some water and tell me slowly."
Xiao Li drank the tea the policewoman brought her and rested for a while before speaking.
"Chief, I want to report these three fake police officers. Look, they are very likely to be spies or enemies. You must interrogate them thoroughly."
As soon as they entered the village, they said they had received a tip and were going to arrest and interrogate us. I asked them to produce evidence, but they wouldn't. Look, these are the three of them. We're innocent!
Anyone can label someone, right? Xiao Li wants them to experience the bitterness of being wronged.
"Chief, we really aren't..."
"Chief, you have to believe in us..."
Director Li glared at the three men, telling them to shut up.
"Auntie, I'll have someone investigate right away. You rest for a bit, and I'll definitely give you justice."
Xiao Li nodded, and Director Li had someone entertain them before leading the group to the interrogation room next door.
"Tell me, what happened?"
★
Two hours later, Director Li put Xiaoli in his car and stuffed her with bags full of nutritional supplements, saying they were to calm her nerves and help her recover at home.
"Auntie, this is a misunderstanding. Please forgive them. I have already punished them and transferred them to the grassroots level to work in logistics."
The three of them have apologized to you. This is compensation they're offering to calm your nerves; please accept it. I'll have someone send you back and clear your names."
Xiao Li took the thirty yuan handed to her by Director Li, stuffed it into her pocket without ceremony, and was helped into the car by Dong Hongjun. Then she waved to Director Li.
"Director Li, you are truly an incorruptible official for us ordinary people, you are practically Hai Qing reincarnated."
My wife thanks you so much. If it weren't for you, we would never have been able to clear our names.
Goodbye, I'll come see you again in a few days.
Director Li flashed a bright smile, "Welcome back, ma'am..."
Please don't come, my face is about to freeze.
Xiao Li rode in her car, enjoying the scenery along the roadside, and happily returned to the village.
The car attracted everyone's attention as soon as it entered the village. When they saw that Dong Hongjun was helping his elderly mother out of the car, and Hu Kai was following behind carrying a bag, everyone was stunned.
Hu Kai delivered the gifts to the Dong family, then stood in front of the crowd and began to vindicate the Dong family.
"Fellow villagers, this matter is a misunderstanding. We have investigated and found out that the Dong family are eight generations of poor farmers with impeccable family lineage. The report is completely fabricated. Today, I am here on behalf of our police station to clear the name of the Dong family."
Everyone should learn from Aunt Dong's courage in the face of danger and her unyielding spirit. The Dong family is commendable, and Xiaobazi Village is commendable too..."
After Hu Kai finished speaking, his face turned pale. He had not only lost his formal job, but had also been transferred to a grassroots position, meaning he would never be able to turn his life around.
It's so frustrating to have to praise Old Lady Dong against my conscience now.
Xiao Li smiled as she accepted the letter of comfort and the banner from the police station, and distributed the candy she brought back to everyone, thanking them for protecting the Dong family.
Everyone was eating candy, but their hearts were filled with sourness. The Dong family was really lucky; they were witnessing a disaster turn into a good one. They were so jealous!
After the crowd dispersed, Xiao Li planned to go to Beijing. The Ruan family was disgusting. Even if they were exonerated, they would still cause trouble. She was going to pull off a big heist.
However, there was one more thing she wanted to do before going to Beijing.
Ruan Nanzhu is only so fearless because her family has been exonerated.
So Xiaoli wanted to ensure that even if he was exonerated, he could never return to his original workplace.
After asking 123, it was confirmed that the Ruan siblings were still waiting for their train at the train station.
Xiao Li put on makeup and a wig, so no one could recognize her.
Then, on another side road, I took out my mountain bike and sped all the way to the train station.
The Ruan siblings were waiting for their train in the waiting room. Their tickets were for 10 p.m., and there were still a few tens of minutes before their train departed.
Xiao Li slowly approached the Ruan siblings, and casually stretched out a vine to pierce his calf.
Ruan Nanzhu felt a numbness in his calf. He turned his head to look, but found nothing.
He touched it with his hand and didn't feel anything unusual.
Xiao Li turned around and went home satisfied. The drive was really exciting, but it was a bit loud. It would have been better if it had been quieter.
☆
A month later, the work in the fields was finished, and Xiaoli finally had some free time.
"Master, do you sell puppets?"
123 cheered, finally his master remembered him.
"Yes, yes, yes, what kind does Master want?"
"I want the cheapest one, one that can change my appearance."
123 searched and found, "This puppet from the Illusion Star is only good for changing its appearance, and it only costs 50 points."
Xiao Li nodded in satisfaction, "This is it. We might need it in the future."
Xiao Li transformed the puppet into her current appearance and set it to light a fire at home at a set time every day, making people feel that someone was home.
I told my two sons and daughters-in-law that everything was fine, so they would think I was resting at home.
That night, Xiaoli secretly left Xiaobazi Village.
She put on makeup to make herself look younger and successfully arrived in Beijing using a forged letter of introduction.
The Ruan family lived in the returned villa, and Ruan Lingling spent a lot of effort to restore her skin.
"Lingling, you and Shaoyang are going to see a movie tomorrow, so dress up nicely and have a good time."
You two used to be best friends, so keep up the good work and try to marry into the Shao family as soon as possible.
Ruan's mother reminded her daughter that if she hadn't been sent to the farm, this marriage would have happened long ago.
However, after her daughter returned from this ordeal, her appearance was no longer what it used to be, and she needed further recuperation.
"Mom, I know. The Shao family is the best choice. I could not care before, but now there is no one more suitable for me than Shao Yang."
Ruan's mother hugged her daughter tightly, feeling sorry for her. Shao Yang's leg was injured, and he had a child to support. If it weren't for the family needing the Shao family's help, they would never have let their daughter marry into that family.
Thinking of her son's injuries, a sense of helplessness flashed through Ruan's mother's heart.
