"Comrade Ye, you are all good people, we believe in you."
"Yes, it's wrong to spread rumors about people who are capitalists. These people are terrible and must be caught and severely punished."
"The captain's family, such good people, were almost implicated. Comrade Ye clearly did a good deed, how could he be so unjustly accused by such a heartless person?"
After clarifying the facts, the public's enthusiasm was ignited, and they were determined to find the person who spread the rumors.
Now the Wang family was even more panicked.
As the educated youth at the settlement pointed the finger at each other, the final suspect was Lin Xiaojiao.
Lin Xiaojiao was already drenched in sweat. In desperation, she could only point at a random educated youth and shout, "That's what he told me!"
The male educated youth who was called out looked left and right, and when he realized that Lin Xiaojiao was pointing at him, his face turned pale and he quickly denied it.
"You're talking nonsense! I don't know you at all! I don't even know about this rumor!"
"Who said you don't recognize me? You're the one who told me! Why don't you dare admit it? Are you trying to pin the blame on me and make me die before you're satisfied?"
Lin Xiaojiao strode forward, grabbed the male educated youth tightly, and said fiercely.
If it weren't for so many people watching, I probably would have already gotten started.
The male educated youth who was grabbed by Lin Xiaojiao suddenly went blank. He never expected that she would randomly grab a scapegoat!
The crucial point is that I don't even know Lin Xiaojiao! We have no grudge against each other, so why would she do this to me?
Ye Nian'an took the initiative to ask, "This educated youth, are you sure you don't know Lin Xiaojiao?"
The male educated youth nodded vigorously: "Of course I don't know her! I've never had any contact with her!"
"You're lying! I've done nothing to you, why are you trying to hurt me! Why!"
Lin Xiaojiao was like a parasite; no matter how much the male educated youth struggled, he couldn't break free. Her ferocious face terrified the male educated youth to the point of madness.
Ye Nian'an rolled her eyes, having come up with a plan: "Lin Xiaojiao, since you say you know this male educated youth, what's his name? Which room does he live in? You must know that, right?"
"This...I..."
Lin Xiaojiao was instantly stumped by the question.
She realized she was about to be exposed, so she didn't think much of it and just randomly picked the nearest scapegoat.
But when Ye Nian'an asked that question, Lin Xiaojiao was instantly at a loss for words.
She had met this male educated youth before, but she hadn't noticed his name or where he lived.
"Yes, everyone look! She can't say my name at all! She's lying!"
The male educated youth, like drowning people grasping at a straw, immediately cried out.
Shi Minghui stepped forward with a grim expression: "Lin Xiaojiao, I'm giving you one last chance!"
“Tell me the name of this educated youth and where he/she lives, and I'll assume you know each other!”
"I...I...he...his name is..."
Lin Xiaojiao stammered for a long time but couldn't give an answer.
"I can testify!"
At this moment, another educated youth stepped forward: "Xia and I were tired from working all day, so we went to bed very early after dinner yesterday! We didn't go out at all!"
Shi Minghui roared, "Lin Xiaojiao, what do you have to say now! You've wronged the Shi family and the Chu family!"
"How dare you be so audacious! After being caught, you tried to slander the innocence of other educated youth and find a scapegoat. You are utterly unforgivable!"
"I...I..."
Lin Xiaojiao's whole body went limp, and she almost knelt on the ground.
Xia, the educated youth, quickly broke free and ran far away.
Being entangled with such a crazy woman is really bad luck!
Ye Nian'an showed no mercy and rushed forward, slapping Lin Xiaojiao across the face with both hands.
"Slap! Slap!"
With two sharp cracks, bright red five-claw marks instantly appeared on Lin Xiaojiao's left and right cheeks, which were extremely swollen.
"This slap is for your spreading rumors and causing trouble."
"This second slap is for your unrepentant attitude even when you're about to die!"
After saying that, Ye Nian'an slapped Lin Xiaojiao twice more.
"This third slap was for the captain's family."
"This fourth slap is for our Chu family!"
Ye Nian'an used all his strength in those four slaps, making Lin Xiaojiao's brain buzz and leaving her completely unable to react.
However, Lin Xiaojiao was no longer the arrogant person she had been when she fought Ye Nian'an. Now that her rumors had been exposed, she was so scared that she almost knelt down.
Ye Nian'an looked at Shi Minghui with a serious expression: "Captain, this woman has repeatedly caused trouble for our Chu family."
"She's only been in Liangtian Township for a few days, and she's already caused so much trouble! She absolutely cannot be let off lightly!"
Chu Xin'er also chimed in, "Yes, Captain, you're not just giving us an explanation, but everyone else too!"
"Otherwise, if we let such a troublemaker stay in the brigade, something bad will happen sooner or later!"
"Our Chu family has always acted with integrity and upright conduct, but we must never allow ourselves to be falsely accused by others!"
As Ye Nian'an and Chu Xin'er spoke up, not only Chu Yan and the others echoed their sentiments, but other members of the educated youth group also began to express their support.
Indeed, Lin Xiaojiao had a quarrel with the Chu family on her very first day at the educated youth settlement. Moreover, since they lived nearby and worked with the family, everyone knew that she loved to take advantage of others and disliked her.
Just now, Xia Zhiqing was almost caught by Lin Xiaojiao and made a scapegoat. If Ye Nian'an hadn't spoken up in time to help him get away with it, who knows how things would have turned out.
Thinking that if Lin Xiaojiao continued to stay there, they might also suffer harm, they all decided they didn't want her to stay any longer.
Wang Xingbang rushed over, pulled Lin Xiaojiao down to kneel with him, and cried his eyes out.
"I'm so sorry everyone, it's my fault for not teaching my wife properly. She spread rumors and slandered the Ye family and the brigade leader's family..."
As he spoke, Wang Xingbang immediately kowtowed to everyone several times. Lin Xiaojiao was also terrified and followed suit.
"Captain, Comrade Ye, I know I was wrong, I promise! I will never do it again! You all have such a magnanimous heart, just treat me like a fart and let it go!"
Ye Nian'an sneered: "Lin Xiaojiao, you said the same thing last time, and everyone believed you that time."
"You're still saying this after being caught red-handed? Do you think we're stupid?"
Then, Ye Nian'an looked at Shi Minghui and said, "Captain, I think this matter warrants a charge of defamation against her. Why don't we send her to the town's police station and let the police handle it?"
Shi Minghui hesitated for a moment before remaining silent.
If Lin Xiaojiao were really taken to the police station, the Wang family would be completely ruined.
Moreover, it's not a good thing for their Red Star team's annual rating.
This is not just about personal interests; it involves collective interests, so we must always give it more thought.
Seeing that Ye Nian'an was about to call the police, Wang Xingbang immediately grabbed Lin Xiaojiao and slapped her hard: "It's all because of your foul mouth! Instead of saying anything good, you had to spread rumors!"
"I think you're no longer worth having that mouth of yours! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"
