After hearing this, Li Wang finally calmed down a bit and reached out to push the bicycle from Chen Heping's hand: "I borrowed this bicycle from a fellow villager, and I need to return it to him as soon as possible!"
He stumbled after taking only two steps.
He explained awkwardly, "My leg went numb..."
Shen Heping quickly helped him up: "I'll go with you!"
While they were talking, no one noticed that Su Jin had already slipped away.
After locking the courtyard gate, the group returned to the middle room where Su Tong and the other two lived and carefully reviewed the files.
Ding Daguo actually confessed at 4 a.m. on the very night he was taken to the police station.
He embezzled the money, but he insisted that the 5,000 yuan had been given to Ding Xiwang.
In other words, he and Ding Xiwang did this case together.
Su Ruyi frowned—what kind of move is this? Knowing they're finished, they're trying to drag someone down with them?
Su Tong smiled and said, "With this approach, there's no need for a trial; we can just pass judgment directly."
Ji Xuchang nodded: "The facts of the case are very clear! Xiao Tong, your innocence has been completely cleared!"
Upon hearing this, Su Tong rushed out of the house, searched the yard, and then asked, "Where's Su Jin? Where did he go?!"
By this time, Su Jin had already wandered to the Big Butt River behind the village.
His wrists already bore bloody marks from the handcuffs, and seeing the water, he wanted to wash his hands.
If the river water is clean, he'd like to take a bath.
However, when he got down to the riverbank, he found a woman floating in the river!
Soaked to the bone, floating on its back, only its two long braids were visible.
Su Jin's eyes lit up—he wondered if there was any money on the female corpse...
Because of him, I don't have a single penny left!
When he went to the countryside, all he brought with him were his two legs and a mouth; he didn't even have a change of clothes!
With that in mind, he found a bamboo pole, tied a long braid to it, and pushed the female corpse towards the shore.
Unexpectedly, the female corpse suddenly came to life and grabbed his bamboo pole.
A dark-skinned but pretty face looked up: "Comrade, please save me!"
It's alive!
Su Jin hesitated for a moment, but still pulled the bamboo pole and pulled her up.
The woman whom Su Jin mistook for a corpse was Guo Tianya.
It turned out that after Su Ruyi dragged her away from the lunch table, she was so angry that she ran to the Dading River.
She asked a passing child in the village to give Jiang Aiguo a note that read: "Come find me by the river behind the village, or I'll kill myself!"
When the child saw that she hadn't even given him a piece of candy, he agreed on the surface, but then turned around and threw the note away, even stomping on it twice.
Guo Tianya was starving and dizzy from waiting by the river. She wanted to wash her face to cool off, and knowing that some men in the village liked to urinate by the river, she kept walking upstream.
We didn't find a place to go down to the river until we were almost out of Dingjiatun.
As a result, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, I slipped and fell into the river.
She's from Monterey Park and has never been in the water before.
The Dading River is deep, with the deepest point reaching over three meters.
However, she was quite lucky. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she unconsciously began to float, and her clothes got caught on the tree roots by the river, providing some buoyancy.
Although water was gushing into its ears, its nose and mouth were above water, so it could breathe.
She waited for hours without daring to move, but no one came.
So she made a tough decision, tore the clothes that were hanging on the tree roots, and then floated downstream.
As she prepared to float across the small wooden bridge, she grabbed onto the bridge pier.
However, she hadn't drifted far when her head hit a rock on the riverbank and she passed out.
She only woke up when Su Jin used a bamboo pole to poke at her long braid.
When she saw Su Jin, she felt like she had found a lifeline.
Su Jin's face had already been seen by her, so she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
Moreover, this woman is dressed quite well, so it seems her family is well-off!
Maybe... he could end up like his fifth brother, marrying a young village woman...
This is a stunning beauty, not a locomotive!
Guo Tianya was pulled ashore by Su Jin, shivering from the cold.
Su Jin immediately took off his own stinky clothes and draped them over her.
Guo Tianya looked up at the man in front of her—tall and strong, with deep-set eyes, and looking at her with concern.
Guo Tianya's face flushed red instantly.
The man in front of me is much more handsome than the likes of Jiang Aiguo and Shen Heping!
She strained her already hoarse voice: "Comrade, thank you! Are you from Dingjiatun? I've never seen you before?"
Sujin smiled.
He has always been very confident in his physical appearance.
Seeing the woman's hesitant and timid manner, he was extremely smug: "I'm a newly arrived educated youth!"
"Really?" Guo Tianya's eyes widened, trying her best to look cute and surprised. "I'm also an educated youth! My name is Guo Tianya, and I'm from Mengshi! Comrade, what's your name?"
“Su Jin, from Haicheng,” Su Jin replied briefly.
"What? You're also from Haicheng? And your surname is Su?" Guo Tianya's smile vanished. "Do you know someone named Su Ruyi?"
"Tch!" Su Jin scoffed. "That's my sixth sister, a jinx to our family! Why even mention her? It's bad luck!"
"A jinx?!" Guo Tianya's eyes widened again, this time the surprise in her eyes was genuine. "Brother Su Jin, doesn't your family like her?"
"Yeah! Annoy her to death!"
Su Jin unconsciously covered his nose, the pain from Su Ruyi kicking him resurfacing, and his expression involuntarily turned sinister. "She's been a jinx since she was little! A jinx to the whole family! When my mother gave birth to her, she couldn't deliver for three days and almost died!"
"So that's how it is! But I saw that her fourth brother dotes on her a lot?" Guo Tianya probed, observing Su Jin's expression. It seemed that his relationship with this sixth sister was not good at all!
"Tch! That idiot Su Tong got close to her and ended up getting a heart attack!" Su Jin said dismissively. "You should stay away from her! Getting involved with her will only bring you trouble!"
Guo Tianya thought about it and realized that was indeed the case!
Ever since Su Ruyi arrived, her life has been anything but peaceful!
As the saying goes, the quickest way to bring two people closer is to give them a common enemy!
Right now, that's the situation for Su Jin and Guo Tianya.
By criticizing Su Ruyi, the two of them were chatting and laughing when they returned to the educated youth settlement, and even seemed to be able to talk about anything.
It was time to finish work, and everyone in the educated youth compound had just returned from work.
When the female educated youth in the front yard saw Guo Tianya walk in with a young man who was shirtless, and her clothes were soaked and she was still wrapped in the man's clothes, everyone fell silent.
It was Wang Chuntao who spoke first: "Guo Zhiqing, what's wrong with you now?"
