When Ye Beiping was arrested, Qiu Mingyue was about to lead the educated youth from the settlement to rush in.
Unexpectedly, Tao Qiuyan came out of the house and frowned as she looked at the educated youth.
What do you want to do?
“Su Xinyi is one of our educated youth, so of course we’ll take her away.”
"hehe."
Hearing Qiu Mingyue's words, Tao Qiuyan laughed twice and said, "Now that Su Xinyi is sick, if you are still classmates, you had better do something virtuous, or you will all be in trouble if someone dies."
Upon hearing this, the educated youth immediately dared not take another step.
Who would want to risk someone's life?
Everyone came because they listened to Qiu Mingyue's advice and felt it was correct.
Now that lives are at stake, there's no time to run away.
Qiu Mingyue glanced at the people behind her, knowing they were all frightened, and angrily shook her hand and left.
"Heaven is watching what people do." Tao Qiuyan pursed her lips and said an old saying. Looking at the educated youth who were about to leave, she continued, "If you want to visit Su Xinyi, you are welcome. But if you want to take her away now, you can do so anytime. I'm just afraid you can't bear the responsibility."
The educated youth slunk away in an instant.
In the evening, Ye Xiaoxin, Wu Di, and Hou Baolin returned and found that Ye Beiping was not there.
"Mom? Where's Beiping?" Ye Xiaoxin put the radio she had collected in the yard, looked around, and then asked Tao Qiuyan.
Tao Qiuyan sighed and glanced at Ye Beiping's room, saying, "He was taken away by the militia."
"What?" Ye Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "What's going on? Why did they take Beiping away for no reason? Could it be that our business has been discovered?"
At this moment, Wu Di and Hou Baolin also came over anxiously.
Tao Qiuyan pointed to Ye Beiping's room and said, "Su Xinyi came to our house. It seems she's pregnant and still sick. To prevent the militia from taking her away, Beiping admitted that the child in Su Xinyi's belly was his, so he was taken away."
At this point, Tao Qiuyan may not have realized the seriousness of the situation.
She thought this was just Ye Beiping talking in anger like a child, and no one would believe it.
But Hou Baolin and Wu Di knew the inside story. They exchanged a glance and both saw the other's panic.
"Could this really be a child from Beiping?" Wu Di asked hesitantly.
"What?"
Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin were suddenly startled and quickly looked at Wu Di, asking, "What did you just say?"
Ye Beiping only let this slip in front of Wu Di and Hou Baolin.
Therefore, the two words naturally led to the suspicion that the child in Su Xinyi's belly was Ye Beiping's.
Seeing that Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin seemed to have been frightened, Wu Di dared not speak.
Ye Xiaoxin kicked Hou Baolin one last time and said angrily, "Monkey, you tell me, what exactly happened?"
The three of them grew up together, and what Wu Di knew, Hou Baolin certainly knew as well.
They're so close they're practically wearing the same pair of underwear.
Hou Baolin hesitated for a long time, then exchanged a glance with Wu Di and finally told the truth.
On the night they were drinking, Ye Beiping disappeared; he was with Su Xinyi.
Furthermore, Ye Beiping confirmed that there were indeed two people involved...
"It's all over, it's all over," Tao Qiuyan kept muttering to herself.
Ye Xiaoxin said blankly, "No wonder, I found that Beiping had changed after I came back. So that's how it is... How could this be? How did things turn out like this?"
The mother and daughter were almost in tears from worry.
Seeing this, Hou Baolin immediately said, "I'll go ask my father right now what exactly happened and see..."
"No."
Just as Hou Baolin was speaking, Hou Yongping and Wu Guangfa had already reached the gate of the courtyard.
Looking at Tao Qiuyan's anxious expression, Hou Yongping pursed his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, this matter is not easy to handle. Beiping has been taken away by the police, and I heard that Beiping insists that the child is his. The police have started investigating now, and things are very troublesome."
Ultimately, Hou Yongping was just a brigade party secretary, and he had no decision-making power in this matter.
The final decision rests with Su Xinyi.
Tao Qiuyan looked like she was about to cry, and asked, "Then... what are we going to do about this? This brat did something so serious, why didn't he tell us? Now look what's happened, he's been arrested."
Waaaaah!
Ye Xiaoxin covered her face and started crying.
Seeing this, Hou Baolin, who was standing nearby, comforted her, saying, "Sister Xiaoxin, don't worry, we will definitely not let anything happen to Beiping."
"You think you can just say no and then not?" Hou Yongping glared at his good-for-nothing son, then thought for a moment and offered his solution: "To resolve this matter, Su Xinyi, the educated youth, must step forward and explain the whole story. Perhaps then we can still save Beiping."
Hou Yongping's idea was to get Su Xinyi to stop pursuing Ye Beiping, and then the police station would clear the file, proving that Ye Beiping did not rape Su Xinyi.
"Su Xinyi?" Tao Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, glanced in the direction of the room, and said, "She's in our house right now, but... but she's sick, how are we going to explain this to the police station?"
"Is she there? Why wasn't she taken to the hospital if she's sick?" Wu Guangfa hurriedly asked.
No matter what, Wu Guangfa, the production team leader, owes a debt of gratitude to Ye Beiping.
Even putting that aside, Wu Guangfa, as the village chief, wouldn't want his villagers to go to jail; a peaceful resolution would be best.
