Chapter 35 I Believe in Xue Han
The third sister took a deep breath and calmed down her "excited" mood.
She is about to start her performance.
"Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing! Don't touch me!"
The third sister suddenly screamed so loudly that it seemed as if she could blow the roof of the entire village off.
She screamed and backed away, tripping on purpose and falling to the ground with a "ouch". The basket in her hand flew out and the eggs inside shattered to the ground with a "clatter".
This sudden scene startled the villagers who were chatting near the store at the entrance of the village.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. It seems like the third sister had a quarrel with someone?"
"Who is so bold as to bully the third sister?"
The villagers gathered around and talked about it.
When the third sister saw that almost everyone had arrived, she immediately began to "wail": "Oh my! Why is my life so miserable? I can't live like this! Xue Han, you bastard, you bully a widow like me, you must die a horrible death!"
She sat on the ground, beating her chest and stamping her feet, crying so heart-wrenchingly, with tears and snot all over her face. If you didn't know her, you would have thought she had suffered a great injustice.
Xue Han had just returned from the fields and was passing by the door of the convenience store when he was stunned by this sudden scene.
He looked at his third sister who was sitting on the ground and making a scene with a confused look on his face, having no idea what was going on.
"Third sister, what are you doing? When did I bully you?"
Xue Han frowned, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
He hated this kind of unreasonable woman the most.
"You still dare to say that you didn't bully me? You...you just now...you touched me, and you still want to..." The third sister cried and pointed at Xue Han. She deliberately stopped talking halfway, leaving the villagers with endless room for imagination.
Now, the villagers were furious.
"What? Xue Han was touching my third sister? That's impossible. He usually looks quite honest!"
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart! Who knows what kind of person he is behind the scenes?"
"Third sister is a widow with a child, she is pitiful enough, how could Xue Han do this?"
"That's right, this is too much! We must teach him a lesson!"
The villagers who did not know the truth began to point fingers at Xue Han, and some even rolled up their sleeves, ready to stand up for the third sister.
Xu Yao had just come out of the house when she saw this scene.
Her heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself that this was not good.
This move by the third sister is too cruel! They actually used this method to slander Xue Han!
She walked quickly to Xue Han, grabbed his hand tightly, and said loudly: "I believe Xue Han! He is not that kind of person! This must be the conspiracy of the third sister!"
Xu Yao's voice was clear and firm, like a clear mountain spring, instantly dispelling the villagers' doubts.
She looked at Xue Han.
Xue Han felt the warmth of Xu Yao's palm, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He was a little flustered at first, but at this moment, he suddenly calmed down.
He looked at Xu Yao.
"Third sister, why did you do this? Why did you slander Xue Han?"
Xu Yao turned her head and looked at her third sister who was sitting on the ground crying, and asked harshly.
The third sister was stumped by Xu Yao's sudden question.
She didn't expect that Xu Yao would trust Xue Han so much and leave her no wiggle room at all.
"I...I didn't slander him! Everything I said was true! He just bullied me!"
The third sister's eyes flickered and she continued to argue.
"You're lying! I just saw you fall down on purpose!"
A crisp voice suddenly rang out.
A little girl with pigtails stood out from the crowd, holding a half-eaten popsicle in her hand.
"Xiao Ya, what are you talking about!" When the third sister saw that it was Xiao Ya, she was immediately panicked.
Xiao Ya is a well-known "little loudspeaker" in the village, and nothing can be hidden from her.
"I'm not talking nonsense! I was standing right here just now and saw it clearly! This aunt fell down by herself and threw the basket out on purpose!"
Xiao Ya pointed at the third sister and ruthlessly exposed her lie.
"You...you..." The third sister was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Ya.
"Enough!" A majestic voice was heard, and the crowd automatically made way for each other. The village chief walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.
The village chief is the most prestigious person in the village. As soon as he appears, the originally noisy scene immediately becomes quiet.
"What on earth is going on?"
The village chief looked at the scene in front of him, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.
"Village Chief, you have to make the decision for me! Xue Han...he bullied me!"
When the third sister saw the village chief coming, she immediately rushed over, hugged the village chief's legs and started crying.
"Village chief, I didn't! It was my third sister who slandered me!" Xue Han also quickly explained.
"I believe in Xue Han!" Xu Yao stood beside Xue Han and said firmly.
The village chief looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and felt overwhelmed.
"Stop arguing!" The village chief raised his voice, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly! Before the truth comes out, no one is allowed to talk nonsense!"
Although the village chief's voice was not loud, it was full of majesty, which made everyone present quiet down.
The third sister felt a little nervous, but she still pretended to be calm and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this matter could be passed off.
"Xiao Ya, come here and tell the village chief everything you just saw." The village chief called Xiao Ya to his side and said kindly.
Xiaoya blinked her big eyes and looked at the village chief, then… Xiaoya puffed out her little chest and repeated everything she had just seen in a childish but very clear voice: "Grandpa Village Chief, I saw my third sister trip and fall, and then she threw the eggs in the basket out, and she said that Uncle Xue Han pushed her. She also cried, and cried very loudly, like a pig being slaughtered."
When the little girl said this, she imitated her third sister crying, which made the villagers around her laugh.
The third sister’s face turned red and white, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
This little girl is such a nuisance!
After listening to Xiao Ya's description, the village chief asked several villagers who were present at the time.
These villagers all confirmed Xiao Ya's statement, saying that the third sister did fall down by herself and Xue Han did not touch her.
Now, the truth is revealed.
The third sister's conspiracy was exposed again, and she ran away in shame like a defeated rooster.
The villagers apologized to Xue Han and Xu Yao and felt sorry for their misunderstanding.
"Xue Han, I'm so sorry, we wrongly blamed you."
"Xu Yao, thank you too. If you hadn't believed in Xue Han, we would have almost wronged a good person."
Xue Han and Xu Yao smiled at each other, their hands tightly clasped together, as if nothing could separate them.
"It's okay. We're all from the same village. It'll be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved." Xu Yao said with a smile.
"Yes, we are all from the same village, and we will help each other in the future." Xue Han also agreed.
After this incident, Xue Han and Xu Yao's relationship became even more indestructible.
They are like two big trees standing side by side. No matter the wind or rain, they always lean on each other, support each other and encourage each other.
"Yaoyao, thank you." Xue Han looked at Xu Yao.
"Silly boy, do we still need to say thank you to each other?" Xu Yao said with a smile, "I believe in you, just like I believe in myself."
Xue Han pulled Xu Yao into his arms, holding her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own bones and blood.
"Yaoyao, I love you." Xue Han whispered in Xu Yao's ear.
"I love you too." Xu Yao's voice was as soft as a mosquito, but full of sweetness and happiness.
They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat, as if they were the only two people left in the world.
However, at this sweet moment, a discordant note quietly sounded.
The door of the Sun family creaked open, and Sun Zhiqiang walked out with a gloomy face...
