Chapter 111 You Don’t Have to Pretend Anymore
"Third sister, is this bag of brown sugar yours..." Xue Han's voice was low and powerful, like a huge rock pressing on the third sister's heart, making her almost unable to breathe.
The air around her seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on her, like countless searchlights, making her nowhere to hide.
The third sister’s face was pale and her lips were trembling, but she couldn’t utter a word.
She didn't expect Xue Han to question her so directly, and she didn't expect him to suspect her.
"Xue Han, you...what do you mean? Don't slander me!" The third sister tried to remain calm, her eyes flickering, not daring to look Xue Han in the face.
"This bag of brown sugar was clearly bought from Xu Yao's store, so how can it be said that I made it? Are you trying to divert attention and protect Xu Yao?"
Xu Yao sneered, took a step forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xue Han.
"Third sister, what you said is really interesting. Let's not talk about whether this brown sugar is from my store or not. Let's just talk about the mold. Isn't it too deliberate? The whole bag of brown sugar has only a layer of mold on the surface, but the inside is intact. Does this look like it is caused by normal storage? It's obvious that someone deliberately tampered with it!"
Xu Yao said this, picked up the bag of brown sugar and showed it to everyone.
"Everyone, look, these mold spots are evenly distributed and have the same color. Do they look like they were formed naturally? It's obvious that someone deliberately sprayed the mold solution! Third sister, do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with you?"
The third sister was speechless after hearing Xu Yao's words. She didn't expect Xu Yao to be so attentive and actually discovered the flaw in the brown sugar.
She frantically defended herself, "I...I don't know...I bought this brown sugar at Xu Yao's store, and I don't know anything else!"
Xue Han stared at the third sister with cold eyes, as if he could see through all her disguises.
"Third sister, you don't have to pretend anymore. I know you have always hated Xu Yao and me, and have been trying every way to retaliate against us. But this bag of brown sugar is your last struggle."
Xue Han did not directly expose his third sister's conspiracy, but deliberately kept it in suspense. He wanted to see what tricks his third sister could play.
Xu Yao and Xue Han were not frightened by the "evidence" of their third sister. On the contrary, they calmly analyzed the "evidence" and tried to find the flaws in it.
"The handwriting on this IOU... seems to have some problems." Xu Yao pointed at her third sister's signature on the IOU, frowning.
Xue Han moved closer to observe carefully and also discovered some clues.
"Although the handwriting is very similar, the strength of the pen strokes and the writing habits are slightly different from Third Sister's usual handwriting. It seems that this IOU was deliberately forged."
"Forged?" Xu Yao suddenly realized, "No wonder I felt that the contents of this IOU were a little strange, it turned out to be fake!"
Xue Han pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of someone.
"Perhaps, we can ask Director Liu for help."
Director Liu is the director of the credit union and has certain investigative capabilities. He may be able to help them verify the authenticity of this "evidence."
They found Director Liu and explained the situation.
Director Liu was a little hesitant at first. After all, this kind of matter involves interpersonal relationships, and he didn't want to offend anyone easily.
But under Xue Han's insistence, Director Liu finally agreed to help verify it.
"Xue Han, don't worry, I will do my best to investigate it thoroughly." Director Liu solemnly promised.
After Director Liu's investigation, the truth finally came to light.
It turned out that in order to take revenge on Xu Yao and Xue Han, the third sister actually paid someone to forge a promissory note and "moldy" brown sugar in order to frame Xu Yao.
After the truth came out, Xue Han brought evidence and Director Liu to the village and exposed the third sister's conspiracy in front of everyone.
"Third sister, do you have anything else to say?" Xue Han's tone was cold, his eyes were sharp, and he looked directly at the third sister.
The third sister’s face was pale and she was trembling all over. She didn’t expect that her conspiracy would be exposed so thoroughly.
She still wanted to quibble, but in the face of irrefutable evidence, she had nothing to say.
“I…I…” The third sister stammered, her eyes flickering, not daring to look at Xue Han.
"Third sister, you are really...amazing!" Xu Yao said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "In order to retaliate against us, you actually did not hesitate to...forge evidence and frame others! Do you...do you still have a conscience?"
There was an uproar in the crowd, and everyone accused the third sister of her despicable behavior.
"I didn't expect Third Sister to be this kind of person! You can only judge a person by his appearance!"
"We were so blind to have believed her before!"
"Third sister, you must apologize to Xu Yao and Xue Han!"
Facing the accusations from everyone, the third sister's face became increasingly ugly. She...
Amid the villagers' condemnation, Third Sister's face was so colorful, more brilliant than a palette.
She was shaking like a sieve, her face was covered with tears and snot, and she no longer had the arrogance she once had.
"I... I'm sorry... Xu Yao, Xue Han... I was wrong, I shouldn't... I shouldn't have been so obsessed..." The third sister's voice was as soft as a mosquito. If the surroundings hadn't been quiet, no one would have been able to hear what she was mumbling.
Xu Yao felt no pleasure when she saw her in such a miserable state.
After all, getting angry with such a person is a waste of expression.
She crossed her arms over her chest, with a mocking smile on her lips, "Third sister, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? As a person, you should be down-to-earth and stop thinking about taking crooked paths."
Xue Han also glanced at her coldly, his eyes full of contempt.
"Forget about the apology, just don't show up in front of us again. Otherwise, I'll call the police every time I see you!"
When the third sister heard this, she shuddered with fear and nodded repeatedly, fearing that Xue Han would really send her to the police station.
She squeezed out of the crowd dejectedly, and her back looked as depressing as could be.
The villagers applauded as they watched the third sister flee.
They were deceived by the third sister before and almost wronged Xu Yao and Xue Han, so they felt a little guilty.
"Xu Yao, we are so sorry for wronging you. We wrongly blamed you before."
"Yes, yes, Xue Han is really capable. He saw through the conspiracy of the third sister in one go."
"We all trust you from now on. If you need any help, just let me know!"
Xu Yao felt warm at heart as she listened to the villagers' sincere apologies.
She knew that after this incident, her and Xue Han's reputation in the village was completely secured.
She smiled and said to everyone: "Thank you for your trust. I will work harder in the future to provide you with better services."
Xue Han also stood aside and nodded silently.
He was not very good at expressing himself, but his heart was full of gratitude.
He knew that with the support of the villagers, his and Xu Yao's lives would get better and better.
The sunlight shines on Xu Yao's face, making her smile even brighter and more charming.
She looked at Xue Han beside her, her heart filled with happiness.
After going through so many ups and downs, they can finally live a peaceful life with peace of mind.
However, just as Xu Yao was immersed in this joy, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from the school.
"Hello, is this Ms. Xu Yao? I'm a teacher at the school. Your daughter Xu Weiwei got into some trouble at school. Do you think you could come to the school?"
Xu Yao's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
My daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible, so why would she suddenly get into trouble?
She quickly asked, "Teacher, Weiwei...what happened to her?"
The teacher on the other end of the phone sounded hesitant, as if he didn't know what to say.
"Well... you should come to school first to discuss the details. It's hard to explain over the phone."
Xu Yao hung up the phone and her face turned pale.
She turned to look at Xue Han, her voice trembling slightly.
"Xue Han, the school called and said Weiwei got into trouble and asked me to go to school."
Xue Han saw that Xu Yao looked upset, so he quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, maybe it's nothing serious. I'll go with you to have a look."
Xu Yao nodded, but she still couldn't let it go.
She always felt that this time things would not be that simple.
The two hurried to school and the teacher was already waiting for them at the door.
"Teacher Xu, you are finally here." The teacher came to greet Xu Yao when she saw her. "Weiwei...well, you will know when you go in and take a look."
The teacher brought Xu Yao and Xue Han to the door of an office, pointed inside, and sighed.
"She's in there."
Xu Yao took a deep breath and opened the office door.
Her daughter Xu Weiwei was standing in the middle of the room with a stubborn look on her face, and opposite her stood several young girls in fashionable clothes, looking at her with contempt.
One of the girls, wearing a bright yellow dress and delicate makeup on her face, looked Xu Weiwei up and down, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
"Hey, your mom is here? Why, is she here to support you?"
