Chapter 45 The Village Chief's Ridiculous Reason



Shen Zhizhu nodded frantically and was about to cry.

"Yes, police uncle, we just want all the children who want to go to school to realize their dreams. Some families can't afford the tuition and can only study with the village chief's son, Du Manjun, the one who is curled up over there. We are all very grateful to the village chief's family for selflessly giving the children a chance to study."

Du Manjun, who was curled up into a ball on the side, moved his butt, ignored it, and was still keen on hiding himself.

"They also spontaneously reclaimed the abandoned land of the village chief's family, intending to make all the crops they planted belong to the village chief's family. But when everyone met the village chief, he said he would charge money before he would teach the children. In addition, when they learned that they didn't need to pay tuition, they got angry and forced the village chief to give an explanation. We were all honest and just surrounded them, but didn't do anything."

Aunt Li added on the side.

"That's right. When we asked him, he was still hesitant and said that it might be fake news from the school and he himself didn't know. We asked him to go to the school with us to confront him, but he refused to go. If we hadn't accidentally found the money in their house, we would still be kept in the dark. Police comrade, several of us who represent the village came to observe. The neighbors asked us to find out how much money Du Zai De has cheated everyone of over the years!"

The young man, Ali, also added his comments.

"Police comrade, I think these two probably know something, otherwise why would they protect Du Zaide so much? Usually, this man and woman are often together, inseparable. I guess Shen Aiqiu is also involved in this matter."

Ever since Shen Ai Qiu spoke, she has been lying in Li Chunlan's arms, trying her best to reduce her presence. But how could she not be conspicuous when she is so grown up and hiding in someone else's arms?

Li Chunlan was unhappy.

"You little guy, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What do you mean my daughter is involved? Ai Qiu was implicated for no reason. She just said a few words. As for arresting people with great fanfare, police comrade, why don't you just let me take my daughter back home?"

Ali stiffened his neck.

"She also went to school and should have paid the money. How come she knew that Du Zai De had embezzled the money and didn't react at all? Instead, she helped to speak well of him. It's not normal at all."

Seeing that the quarrel was about to break out again, Officer Pei coughed. His voice was strong and very shocking, and it quickly and effectively stopped the quarrel that was about to break out.

"Okay, stop arguing. You treat this place like your home, right? You can't say anything without evidence, especially if it affects someone's reputation."

Ali also knew that he was just talking nonsense because he was angry. He really had no evidence, so he lowered his head and responded.

"Yes, Officer Pei is right."

Li Chunlan was happy and said to Ali proudly.

"Look, Officer Pei has already said that if there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense."

Before she could even feel proud of herself, she was slapped hard in the face.

"And this comrade, this is the police station, not your yard. You are making a big fuss and cursing at people, which has interrupted our interrogation. How is your daughter and whether she was involved? We will investigate these and give the public an explanation. You can go back later."

Li Chunlan was anxious. Was she going to go back alone?

Leaving Shen Ai Qiu alone in the police station?

Shen Ai Qiu hugged Li Chunlan's waist, and they pressed closer to her.

"Mom, I'm scared."

"Police comrade, I have already said that my daughter is innocent. She didn't know anything about this. She only said a few good words for Du Zai De because he is the village chief and an elder. You can't wrongly accuse a good person because of this. Ai Qiu is timid, so let me take her back. Tomorrow, I will personally send her to you. You can judge it at your discretion. How about that?"

Shen Zhizhu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Chunlan glared at him.

"What are you laughing at? Your sister is suffering here, and you are gloating over there, right?"

Shen Zhizhu deliberately hid behind Xu Haonan and replied in a very artificial tone.

"How could that be? Aunt, I grew up under your family's education. How could I possibly do such a thing? I just thought of it. You just said to wait one night and send it back the next day. It's just like what Du Zai De said when everyone asked him for an explanation. It's really a coincidence."

Li Chunlan went forward and wanted to catch Shen Zhizhu, but fortunately Xu Haonan stopped her.

[Phew, luckily my husband is here, I feel safe.]

"You are an ungrateful bastard. I should not have been so soft-hearted. I should have strangled you to death earlier. Otherwise, you would have become a nuisance and helped outsiders to mess up the family when you grew up and got married."

Officer Pei scolded him loudly.

"Comrade, please be careful with your words and leave here quickly, otherwise we will detain you for obstructing official business!"

Ordinary people are afraid of the police. When Officer Pei acted aggressively, Li Chunlan was at a loss for words and frightened instantly. She didn't want to spend the night in the police station either.

Officer Pei began to turn his attention to Du Zaide.

"Comrade Du Zaide, tell me why you want to retaliate against Comrade Shen Zhizhu, how you want to retaliate, what is your detailed plan, and how far you have implemented it. Who are the participants and who knows about it?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Du Zaide finally behaved himself and spoke with difficulty.

"After Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan got married, their family's quality of life got better and better, even better than me as the village chief. When we talked about the resumption of the college entrance examination and going to school to register, she put my son on the moral high ground with just a few words, asking my son to sacrifice his study time to teach the people in the village. As a result, my son worked himself to death, while they could go to school easily. It was her, Shen Zhizhu's clever words, that allowed everyone to study, and my son didn't get any benefit at all, so I came up with this idea."

"I thought of tricking everyone into handing over their money, and then putting the blame on Shen Zhizhu, so that everyone would dislike her and not trust her. Then I would find a reason to return the money to everyone. Police comrades, check it out. I didn't touch a penny of the villagers' money."

"I know I was wrong, police officer. I won't do it again. Please forgive me this time."

Shen Zhizhu felt extremely disappointed when listening to the speech full of loopholes. After such a long time, he could only think of such a lame speech?

"You didn't mention the middle part at all, and you cut off the beginning and the end of the story. You really treat everyone as fools."

Du Zai De was afraid that Shen Zhizhu might say something else, so he questioned her anxiously.
