Fang Yuan's words instantly cleared Liu Chunfang's previously muddled mind, and she became excited:
"Yes, he called me out last night and said he'd make me braised pork. I got sleepy not long after I finished eating, and then I woke up in the cornfield..."
After speaking, Liu Chunfang looked at the village officials and pointed at Chen Hu:
"Village Party Secretary, Brigade Leader, he drugged me and knocked me unconscious. I didn't have an affair; he raped me. I'm going to call the police and sue him."
Liu Chunfang looked at the team leader and the others with unusual excitement.
She said she couldn't remember anything about last night, and that the man had really drugged her, what a bastard.
"Nonsense, when did I drug you? You asked me to bring you the meat, and you took the initiative to be nice to me."
Hearing Liu Chunfang's words, Chen Hu's eyes darkened, and he then offered an explanation, clearly unconvinced.
"Then let's go to his house to see if there are any leftover medicines, and then go to the town's health center to ask."
"There are definitely fewer people who buy sleep aids, so if someone does buy them, the doctor will definitely remember," Zhou He said.
"No, we can't let this get to the town level. If it blows up, our Red Flag Brigade will be criticized by the leaders," the brigade leader hurriedly said.
We finally managed to calm things down, but these people brought it up again in just a few words. Sure enough, troublemakers are hard to deal with.
"Criticism? Just because you're afraid of being criticized, you let the bullied person suffer in silence and get married? And this person is a sent-down youth? We have quite a few unmarried sent-down youth here!"
Village Party Secretary and Brigade Leader, what if others follow suit by downplaying this serious matter?
You don't want the Red Flag Brigade to turn into a den of bandits, do you?
Fang Yuan looked at the group of people in front of him without backing down, especially Chen Hu.
Liu Chunfang was foolish, but Chen Hu was the real culprit.
If the brigade cadres really try to downplay this matter, then they will be in real danger.
Wang Qingqing, that kind of person who tempts others to commit crimes, deserves to die. These scoundrels who dare to make a move will also suffer a terrible fate.
“That’s right, Captain. We educated youth went to the countryside to support the border areas and agriculture, not to be falsely accused. It just so happens that my classmate works in our town. I can have him come and investigate.”
Zhou He also looked at the captain and said seriously.
He hadn't planned to get involved before, but Fang Yuan's words made him realize that this matter couldn't be left unresolved.
He has a mentally challenged cousin, and if others follow suit, his cousin will be in danger.
“That’s right, how about I write a letter back and ask my classmates in Shanghai to spread the word about how our Red Flag Brigade turned a big problem into a small one?” Luo Jin also stepped forward and said.
Although he didn't like Liu Chunfang either, as a fellow educated youth, he was afraid that he might also be framed and wronged.
He even hoped that he could return home smoothly in two years!
"Everyone, is it really necessary to have the town investigate? Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If Liu, the educated youth, didn't covet other people's things and stayed at the educated youth settlement, what else could he do?" the village secretary said.
People who have gone to high school are not easily fooled, and I never expected that they would have connections in the town.
He had received a lot of benefits from them before and didn't want things to get too ugly.
“Village Secretary, I’m talking about the rape she was raped. If Liu Chunfang had consented, we wouldn’t say anything, but that’s clearly not the case, so the problem is very serious. This is date rape, it’s a crime.” Fang Yuan said slowly, enunciating each word clearly.
"Yes, I did accept some of his things, which I can return to him, but he raped me, so he has to be arrested."
Liu Chunfang exclaimed loudly, as if she had found her people.
God knows how desperate she was when she was forced to marry the man who raped her.
"No, she's already slept with me. No one will marry her if she doesn't sleep with me. How can you be so heartless?" Chen Hu said anxiously.
Seeing that the duck in his hand was about to fly away, and that he might even be arrested, Chen Hu hated Zhou He and the others to the core.
"I would rather never marry than marry a rapist like you, you filthy scoundrel," Liu Chunfang said without hesitation.
"This is the new China now. The country advocates gender equality. People can get divorced. What is this compared to that? Don't try to find excuses to get away with the crimes you committed," Fang Yuan said coldly.
“Leaders, as you can see, this isn’t just two people having an affair; it’s a crime, and we must call the police,” Zhou He said, looking at the people in the room.
"No, she didn't resist at the time, so why are you saying she was raped?"
The witnesses I saw this morning disagreed.
The two were screaming while hugging each other. Wasn't this woman hiding under Chen Hu?
How did it become a crime?
"He stripped me naked, how could I resist? You're just bullying me, bullying me because I'm all alone here, boohoo~~" Liu Chunfang cried again as she spoke.
"Can't we downplay this? If this gets out, we could really be sent to a farm for labor reform." The village secretary asked the group in a deep voice.
He hadn't expected that these four people wouldn't back down at all and insisted on taking him inside.
"Turning a big problem into a small one depends on the situation. This involves not only Liu Chunfang, but also all unmarried educated youth. We need to tell all those with impure intentions that mistakes must be punished."
Fang Yuan said firmly.
“Yes, this is not a small matter; it is a major issue concerning all the educated youth who went to the countryside,” Li Weiguo nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, we can’t let this rapist get away!” Zhou Jiahui said, glaring fiercely at Chen Hu.
“That’s right. What if someone gets the wrong idea about us if we let this person go leniently?” He Hongying said anxiously.
She hadn't really thought about this before, but now she felt a little scared.
“That’s right, we don’t want to live in constant fear. Li Hu must be severely punished!” Xie Hongmei chimed in.
"No, don't try to frame me," Li Hu said, his face pale.
He knew he was probably doomed this time; he wouldn't get a wife and would be punished.
This shouldn't be happening, right?
Before he met Liu Chunfang, he had specifically inquired about her and learned that Liu Chunfang was not well-liked.
Thinking about how annoying she is, if she really got married, other people might actually be happy.
Unexpectedly, these people who originally disliked her all stood up to speak for her.
Why is that?
Thinking this way, he finally asked the question.
"Why? Of course it's because of your shameless behavior. We were sent-down youth, but that doesn't mean we can use underhanded methods to take advantage of someone we like."
Fang Yuan replied with a cold laugh.
This kind of low-cost, bottomless approach must never be allowed to start.
She didn't care how the previous educated youth left the settlement to get married, but once she arrived, she couldn't let that happen again.
Fortunately, Liu Chunfang, who encountered this incident first, was ambitious and had only been there a short time. She had not yet been hardened by rural life, so she dared to resist.
If it were Wang Zhaodi, that money-losing type with a severe case of mental illness, she might actually grit her teeth and acquiesce to this.
