Ye Guo was once an educated youth himself. Compared to going to jail and ruining his future, and repaying the debt, he made a decision in the blink of an eye.
"Okay! I'll sign!"
Then, changing the subject, she said, "Captain! I want to report this!"
Wenrou, a former educated youth, was also involved. The mistake was my fault. Wenrou, Liu Xiatian, Jiang Wenming, and Jiang Wenli committed the crime together, and I am willing to accept punishment.
The more people involved, the less he has to pay. He and Wenrou are just business partners, so there's no need for him to hide anything from her. Ye Guo simply betrayed her.
"You're talking nonsense, I don't know anything," Wenrou, who was behind the crowd, denied it outright.
What an idiot! If you don't betray them, I can still help them find a solution!
What good would it do them to drag themselves into this mess?
The usually slow-witted Liu Xiatian finally reacted quickly, "Captain! I can testify!"
I overheard Wen and Ye's plot, and my curiosity got the better of me, which led me to make a foolish mistake. Wenrou was one of the masterminds.
"You bitch! I'll tear your mouth off!"
Wenrou, consumed by hatred, pounced on Liu Xiatian and they began to fight. No one stopped them, and the two quickly rolled together.
Ruan Xianxian's eyes were bright, reflecting the lively scene of dogs fighting each other.
Actually, she knew that the best course of action would be to send the group to the farm now, but she was really unwilling to do so!
Thinking back to my past life, I remember squatting in the yard washing their clothes in the dead of winter, my body catching a chill, and my menstrual period was so painful that it felt like I was walking through the gates of hell.
Their food was rationed, leaving them skin and bones. After finishing their own work on their fields, they were forced to work for them until they were squeezed dry.
The mental and physical stress of those three years in the countryside was the darkest three years of her life.
The overwhelming resentment in her heart prevented her from simply letting bygones be bygones, and she could not erase the past by escaping her sight and sending her enemy to the farm.
She could laugh as the Ruan family sank into the mire and struggled desperately, but could she let Ye Guo and the others escape her control? She couldn't.
She wanted those at the educated youth settlement who owed her to repay tenfold the suffering she had endured in her past life, to live only in her shadow, and to stomp into the mud with the soles of her shoes...
We watched and listened, creating a living hell for them, and only by retaliating could we quell the hatred in our hearts!
Pain to loved ones, joy to enemies? To hell with a swift and decisive solution, she can't do that!
At first, it was just a one-sided brawl between Wenrou and Liu Xiatian. Ye Guo, who hated Wenrou for not stopping him from joining, eventually turned into a chaotic brawl involving all the 'culprits'.
The villagers watched with a mixture of amazement and disdain, saying, "Is this all the educated youth from the city has?"
The captain puffed on his pipe as he and Ruan Xianxian went inside to write an IOU, pretending not to see anything until the IOU was finished. Only then did he order someone to stop them.
"Sign it!" he said succinctly, pointing to the IOU.
The five men who read the IOU word by word felt like dying. It was so comprehensive, covering everything from dowry and betrothal gifts to a single work point, and that the debt had to be repaid first.
The five people gritted their teeth and signed their names with trembling hands.
Liu Xiatian cried even more bitterly than if her own mother had died. "Is that enough? Is that enough? You're just like the landlords of the old society, and we've all become slaves at your beck and call. Are you satisfied now?"
Ruan Xianxian's expression changed, and she threw down the IOU and left, saying, "I can't bear this huge accusation. I'd better go report it to the police."
Snap!
Ye Guo slapped Liu Xiatian hard across the face, "Shut up!"
Then, with a forced smile, she said, "It's only right to pay back debts. Don't listen to her nonsense, Ruan Zhiqing."
Ruan Xianxian shook her head repeatedly and gave the villagers an apologetic smile. "As you all have seen, I was thinking of everyone and wanted to make this a small matter, but they compared me to a landlord who enslaves the people."
"If they report me to the Red Sleeves (a local online forum), I can't handle such a serious accusation. I'd better report it to the police!"
"No, no, no, Ruan Qingqing! They really dare to sue us! We'll all be your witnesses!"
"Yes! They were dishonest first, and then they refused to return the money. No matter where you sue them, do they think they're in the right?"
Seeing that words were not enough, Ruan Xianxian quickly wrote another statement and had the villagers sign it. If they couldn't write, they could put their fingerprints on it. She had even prepared it in Indonesia.
"Almost done! Just one more thing." The impatient village official asked hastily, "What is it?"
“A confession!” Ruan Xianxian said. “I just said they have to write me a confession.”
In case someone waits until things calm down and refuses to repay the money, or simply runs away, I can take the confession to the authorities and let them handle the matter.
We can also find the registered residence of these individuals and have their parents or relatives help repay the debt.
"We won't write it."
The three men gritted their teeth, while Wenrou and Liu Xiatian completely broke down. "Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, you still want to go back to your home?"
Once a confession is written, doesn't that mean he's completely under Ruan Xianxian's control?
She reports every little thing to the police; how are they supposed to survive? Dream on! I'd rather die than write that!
"Then I'll go report it to the police!" The bold statement she made just a second ago was easily shattered by Ruan Xianxian's words about reporting it to the police.
Jiang Wenli got up, his feigned sunny and cheerful eyes gone, replaced by a deep-seated resentment that seemed to want to tear him apart.
"I wrote!"
Jiang Wenli snatched the pen and began writing furiously on the paper.
Ruan Xianxian glanced at it and said it wouldn't work and needed to be rewritten.
What nonsense about being bewitched, what nonsense about being forced into a situation, what nonsense about being confused for a moment...
She casually tore up the tattered paper, then called out Ye Guo's name and began to teach him step by step.
“Write down exactly when you first had this idea, when you discussed it with whom, the conversation, who was involved, and the details of the crime.”
Ye Guo didn't want to write, but after receiving a signal from Jiang Wenli, he swallowed a mouthful of blood.
He wrote out the details of his plan to steal money to go to the city to buy a job and get married, from asking Wenrou for help to finally involving Jiang Wenli and others in the crime.
He threw down his pen and broke down, asking, "Is that enough?"
Then, gritting her teeth, she said, "Ruan Xianxian, you'd better know when to stop."
Ruan Xianxian ignored her, took the paper, confirmed it was correct, and said, "It's exactly the same. Make two more copies."
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Wenli asked warily, but Ruan Xianxian remained silent. The captain and his group waited quietly from the side.
Only after the three copies of the confession and IOU were written and signed by the brigade cadres, and one copy was given to the other party for safekeeping, did Jiang Wenli return with a smile.
"Backup! Better safe than sorry, don't you understand?"
Under the other party's furious gaze, he stuffed the two written agreements he was holding into the small military green waist bag that had caused them to fall and that they hated so much.
Youyou looked at everyone and smiled:
"Keep one copy for myself, give one copy to the brigade headquarters for safekeeping, and mail the last copy to my elders in Beijing."
"From now on, if I ever have any accidents, this evidence must be handed over to the police."
"I am unfortunately dead, and the evidence will go to the police."
"She unfortunately fell into the water, was rescued by some thugs, and was forced to marry someone else. The evidence will go to the police."
"The evidence of who trafficked them into the mountains will be handed over to the police."
"In other words... starting today, I'm a little unhappy that this evidence may be handed over to the police."
