Ruan Mianmian looked around and saw that everyone was giving her encouraging looks, except her father, mother, and grandmother.
She took a few deep breaths, adjusted her sitting position, and as if she had made up her mind, she slowly said, "Captain, I really didn't mean it."
Along with her words, a big tear welled up from her eyes.
"I really didn't mean to not wash Jiabao's clothes. I really didn't see it. Usually, the clothes are put directly into the basin after being changed. But, but yesterday, Jiabao didn't put it in the basin for some reason, and I didn't think much about it and just washed it. Who knew that Jiabao came back and saw it, and hit me with a carrying pole without saying a word. Woo woo woo~~~~ I really didn't mean it."
After saying that, Ruan Mianmian did not forget to cry a few more times. Everyone will instinctively sympathize with the weak.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene exploded.
"Is there something wrong with Ruan Jiabao? He could be so harsh to his own sister just for washing clothes."
"That's right. I've never heard of such a thing."
"Hey, you guys think, could it be that Ruan Jiabao got mad outside and came back to pick a fight? Otherwise, who would kill someone just because of a piece of clothing?"
"That makes sense, otherwise it doesn't make sense."
''······''
The captain looked at Nguyen Kim Phuc and asked, "Where is Nguyen Jiabao? ! Call him over. We need to clarify this matter."
Ruan Jinfu hesitated and dared not speak. Although he was the one who had the final say in the Ruan family, he was very timid outside.
The captain was in charge of the village's affairs, and he unconsciously felt shorter than him.
"Captain, don't listen to what Mianmian is saying. Jiabao didn't fight because of the laundry. He...he fought because Mianmian tore up his book. Yes, he was so angry because Mianmian tore up his book that he fought." Liu Cuifen still wanted to forcefully explain herself.
"This Jiabao really treasures his books, and Mianmian tore them up. He tried to teach her a lesson, but he didn't kill her. Jiabao still knows his limits."
Although Mrs. Ruan didn't know what happened, she didn't stop her from speaking up for her grandson. "Yes. That's what the eldest daughter-in-law said. Jiabao is so well-behaved, how could he do something bad? That damned girl tore up his book, how could he not be angry?"
The Ruan family kept talking to themselves, and no one at the scene believed them.
Anyone who believes it is a fool.
Ruan Jiabao, his treasured book?!
When did Ruan Jiabao become a good kid who loves to read and study? He used to be a lazy student and his grades were always at the bottom.
Now it’s okay, I don’t have to go to school at all.
Young men aged 16 or 17 did not work in the fields to earn work points, but just hung out with a few scoundrels in the village.
If this was his own kid, his legs would have been broken long ago. But it was the Ruan family that still supported such a loser.
"Let's get Ruan Jiabao here first." "The captain doesn't want to hear lies like that," "Since you think Mianmian is wrong, then get Ruan Jiabao here. Let the siblings confront each other. So many people are watching here. I believe they can tell the truth from the false."
Liu Cuifen didn't know where her son had gone. She was in a hurry to find her husband because her son had run away and her daughter had fainted. She didn't know what to do.
Nguyen Kim Phuc was also confused.
Since this kid stopped going to school, he often ran away, and he didn't know where he went. Sometimes he didn't come back for a day or two. He wanted to take care of him, but his mother really doted on this grandson. He didn't dare to say a word.
"I saw Ruan Jiabao running towards the west end of the village." Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.
The captain looked over and asked, "Big Head, when did you see it?"
The man named Big Head lived up to his name, with a big head sticking out of his thin neck, which looked a bit funny at first glance. He walked through the crowd and came to the captain and said, "I don't know exactly when. I don't have a watch or anything. Anyway, it was not long before the fire at Ruan's house. I saw him running to the west end of the village in a panic. He ran over from the field next to the well."
"Oh! That's my land!" Someone heard Ruan Jiabao running on his own land. He was instantly heartbroken. He still had soybeans on his land that had not been harvested.
Some people also heard something unusual, "He ran away in a panic before the fire started. Could it be that he set the fire?"
"You're talking nonsense!" When Old Lady Ruan heard someone say that her grandson set the fire, she started to curse. She even spat in front of the person, "You saw it, and you're talking nonsense. What arson? What fire? You're a dirty, rotten-hearted thing, how dare you say that about my grandson? I'm not done with you today."
Old Mrs. Ruan wanted to pounce on the man, but was stopped by others.
They all advised not to be anxious and that it was more important to make things clear first.
The man knew that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he didn't say anything. He took a few steps back and stood behind the others.
"No matter what, find Ruan Jiabao first." The captain looked at the young men and young adults at the scene and said, "You guys follow Datou to the west of the village and call a few more people to go with you."
The few people who received the order ran out immediately, and some people who liked to join in the fun also followed them out.
At this time, Doctor Lin walked into the Ruan family's yard carrying a medicine box and asked, "Where is the patient?"
"Here, here." Aunt Guihua was the first to react. She quickly called Doctor Lin over and gave up the seat closest to Ruan Mianmian so that Doctor Lin could see the patient more easily.
After all this noise and commotion, no one really thought of calling Doctor Lin to check Ruan Mianmian's injuries.
It’s not that people lack sympathy and don’t know how to see a doctor.
But nowadays, when people are sick or injured, they basically try to handle the condition on their own if they can. They only think of seeing a doctor when they really cannot handle it themselves.
Moreover, a few years ago, not only did their village not have any doctors, but even the entire commune had few doctors. Doctor Lin was an educated youth who went to the countryside in recent years. Because he knew a little about medicine, he was assigned the job of a barefoot doctor.
Besides, Ruan Mianmian was already awake and could understand and speak, so everyone subconsciously ignored it.
