Zhou Hongbing looked very proud. Since Lin Qingqing had no evidence, no one could do anything to him.
Zhou Dafu turned to ask Lin Qingqing: "Is this true?"
Lin Qingqing stared at Zhou Hongbing coldly and answered calmly, "Uncle, that's not the case. He forced me in. Ever since I married Zhou Zhuo, I have considered myself a member of the Zhou family and have never thought of leaving the Zhou family.
Besides, Zhou Zhuo treats me very well, and my mother-in-law treats me like her own daughter. Why should I go to the provincial capital when I have such a good life?"
Xue Guixiang gave her an approving look.
Others also felt that Lin Qingqing didn't seem to be lying.
Zhou Dafu was in a dilemma. The two of them were each making their own arguments, and both seemed innocent. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked with a sullen face, "Lin girl, why are you coming to the broken mill instead of staying home? Do you have some ulterior motive?"
Lin Qingqing tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and spoke slowly, "I didn't come to the broken mill on purpose. I went to the county town today and passed by here on my way back."
"Is there anyone who can testify?" Chow Tai Fook continued to question.
"I left home this morning. My mother-in-law can testify that I went to the county town today to send my sister-in-law to a technical school. I completed the admission procedures for her and then let her stay in school. The principal of the technical school can also testify to this. Then I went to Xiaoma Village to deliver some gifts. My uncle in Xiaoma Village can also testify for me."
Lin Qingqing avoided the main point and did not mention the matter of collecting pears because she did not want the villagers to know, especially she did not want the Lin family to know that she was making money. She was not afraid of the Lin family, but she did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Zhou Dafu nodded slightly, his face darkening even more. He turned and asked in a threatening voice, "Zhou Hongbing, what are you doing in the broken mill? Did you calculate that Lin Qingqing would pass by here and deliberately wait for her?"
Zhou Hongbing's expression suddenly changed: "Village Chief, no, no!"
Zhou Dafu: "Unless you explain to me clearly why you came to Pomofang, I will send you to the police station."
Zhou Hongbing hurriedly explained: "Village, village chief, I went to weed in my own fields. When I came back from work, I saw Lin Qingqing here. She called me in."
Zhou Dafu sneered: "You went to the fields to weed with nothing? And your shoes are clean without any mud. Do you look like you are working?"
The villagers also thought Zhou Hongbing was lying because he and his sister were notoriously lazy in the village. He never weeded the grass in the fields even when it was taller than the crops. The harvest from his family's fields basically depended on the weather.
Besides, the corn is now more than a meter tall, and the villagers all carry hoes to weed the fields. No one goes there empty-handed like Zhou Hongbing.
To take a step back, even if he really went to the field to pull out weeds with his bare hands, there should be traces of work left on his hands, but his hands were clearly clean. Could he pull out the weeds with just a breath?
Zhou Hongbing was very nervous. Zhou Dafu had a high prestige in the village. If he believed Lin Qingqing's words, he would definitely be sent to jail.
Fortunately, he still had a trick up his sleeve that could help him turn the situation around at the critical moment: "Village Chief, I really didn't do anything bad. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Liu. She saw Lin Qingqing seducing me with her own eyes."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Zhou Hongbing’s lies were almost exposed, but then another witness appeared.
Zhou Dafu looked at Liu Cuiling and asked slowly, "Can you really testify for him?"
