As soon as these words were spoken, not only the team leader, but even the surrounding villagers knew that this was inappropriate.
It was common for villagers to fight with each other, but it was the first time that someone asked to report to the police like Ruan Mingfu did.
The villagers felt that this educated youth was not a good person.
"Ruan Zhiqing, I will definitely give you justice," the captain also quickly expressed his position, as if he was afraid that she would not give in. "I believe you two. The villagers are ignorant and believe everything they hear. Don't worry, I will make them shut up."
So, can we not report it to the police?
It felt good to report to the police, but at the end of the year, my chance to be selected as an advanced brigade in the village was ruined.
"Call the police if you want!" Xu Pandi sat on the ground, looking at the bright and beautiful Ruan Mingfu, and then looked at herself, she became even angrier, "The few times Ruan Mingfu hit me can't be counted."
The captain was so annoyed with Xu Pandi that he wanted to slap her to death.
"Shut up. Did Ruan Zhiqing provoke you? You just want to cause trouble all day long."
The villagers were also pointing and talking.
"Captain, you can't report it to the police."
"Anyone who reports this to the police will be kicked out of the village!"
"These educated youth are all troublemakers. We should just return them to the G Committee..."
The educated youth standing in the yard turned pale.
The educated youth who were sent back by the village could only go to more difficult places. Now, the people at the educated youth site looked at Xu Pandi with strange eyes.
"No, we must report to the police!" Ruan Mingfu knew very well that if she didn't investigate the matter thoroughly today, it would not be easy to investigate it later.
The captain sighed, "Ruan Zhiqing, please be considerate of us. The police coming into the village will have a bad impact, and our village's year-end evaluation is also in jeopardy."
Although the rewards for being advanced are not much, the title sounds good, and it is easier for the young girls and boys in the village to propose marriage.
"That's right, you can't report it to the police!"
"It's just a few idle words. It won't hurt you. Tell me what's wrong?"
"If she hadn't been having an unclear relationship with someone, how could there be such rumors?"
“That’s right…”
After listening to what the villagers said, Ruan Mingfu felt more inclined to report to the police.
Rumors are like knives, and there are many examples of them driving a person to death. These people are ignorant and can say anything because they have so many people. If she doesn't investigate this matter, she will be accused of being dishonest.
The situation between her and the sucker is unclear, and she will have to stay here for another two years. She will be drowned by these words.
Ruan Mingfu insisted, "No, this concerns my personal reputation and the reputation of my fellow soldiers. This matter must be dealt with severely."
Seeing her tough attitude, the captain looked at Xie Yanzhao.
“Look…”
Ruan Mingfu looked towards Xie Yanzhao with threatening eyes.
Xie Yanzhao: "Captain, I agree with what Comrade Ruan said."
It’s over. There’s no chance of making the year-end evaluation.
The captain glared at Xu Pandi who was causing trouble, but due to Xie Yanzhao's deterrent power, he had no choice but to acquiesce.
The villagers who were watching became anxious.
"Captain, I cannot agree to this."
"That's right. They know about the affairs of the young ninjas. Why should we bear the consequences?"
"I think those old ladies in the village should be disciplined. They gossip about other people all day long..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this..."
Xie Yanzhao looked at Xu Zhu, who understood and immediately went to report the case.
"Xu Pandi, you have to carry manure for me tomorrow!" The team leader was unhappy and found this troublemaker even more annoying.
Xu Pandi was furious.
She has been beaten, why should she be forced to carry manure?
"Captain, that's not fair!"
The team leader scolded, "The educated youths fought, so I'll punish you by making you carry manure, okay?"
Xu Pandi was not convinced, "What about Ruan Mingfu? She also got into a fight. Why should I have to carry manure but she doesn't have to?"
"You all come with me tomorrow..."
"Captain, you can't say that," Ruan Mingfu's face was tense, and there was murderous intent in her eyes when she looked at Xu Pandi.
The woman surnamed Xu is asking for trouble, so don't blame her.
"If Xu Zhiqing hadn't started the fight, I wouldn't have fought with her, let alone reported it to the police. This is all Xu Zhiqing's fault. I was being kind by not asking her for compensation. You can't bully an honest person like me."
Captain: “…”
Xie Yanzhao: “…”
Are you sure, honestly?
Ruan Mingfu continued, "I believe that after this incident, Xu Zhiqing must have realized his mistake. We can't let Xu Zhiqing be punished forever. Captain, I'll ask for mercy for Xu Zhiqing. Just punish him for three months. We're all family, so it's normal for us to have some arguments."
Captain: “…”
He had only wanted to punish Xu Pandi for three days. You are more cruel.
Hu Lihong shuddered when she heard this.
Vicious, so vicious!
She probably hadn't offended her.
"You, you..." Xu Pandi was really angry this time. She pointed at Ruan Mingfu and was speechless. Her face was red with anger, but it was hard to see because of her dark skin.
The job of carrying manure in the village has always been taken in turns. Although the work points are high, it is dirty and tiring.
For the villagers, if they cannot earn full work points from any work, they are not willing to do it.
Xie Yanzhao shook his head with amusement.
What a vindictive little fox.
"Okay, let's do as Ruan Zhiqing said," the team leader didn't want to let Xu Pandi, the troublemaker, off, so he agreed, "You have to go to work tomorrow, too!"
Ruan Mingfu: "...I understand."
What a sin! Her happy days of slacking off are gone.
Xu Pandi wanted to make a scene, but she knew that she was unpopular now. She shut her mouth in dissatisfaction, and glared at Ruan Mingfu fiercely.
When Xu Zhu brought the police, the villagers did not leave.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties. When he saw Xie Yanzhao, he hurried over and said, "Old Xie, long time no see."
A slight smile also appeared on Xie Yanzhao's fierce face.
It can be seen that he has a good relationship with this person.
"... Lao Xu told me everything on the way. Don't worry, I will definitely find out who spread the rumors."
As this person spoke, he also glanced at Ruan Mingfu who was standing beside him.
Ruan Mingfu was full of questions and felt that the look was somewhat meaningful.
Xie Yanzhao said in a low voice, "I'll leave this matter to you."
"Brother, don't worry!"
Ruan Mingfu no longer paid attention.
Leave professional matters to professionals, she just wants to know the result.
*
Rumors were difficult to investigate, but the gangsters Xie Yanzhao had arrested earlier were a breakthrough. The police questioned them one by one, and those people had never seen such a scene before. They were so scared that their legs were shaking, and they told everything they had heard from someone else.
The police followed the clues and finally dug the man out.
It was a sunny day and Ruan Mingfu was drying clothes in the yard.
Xu Pandi ran over like a ghost was chasing her and knocked over her wash basin. Ruan Mingfu's face darkened, and she was about to speak when she saw her grabbing her like a life-saving straw.
"Ruan Mingfu, tell them quickly that I didn't spread the rumor. I didn't slander the soldiers!"
Two police officers came in at the gate of the educated youth camp and said, "Xu Pandi, we suspect you are involved in this matter. Come back to the bureau with us for investigation."
Xu Pandi hid behind Ruan Mingfu in fear; her sturdy physique made her look even smaller.
The people at the educated youth point also looked here.
Ruan Mingfu wanted to leave, but Xu Pandi held her tightly and prevented her from breaking free.
"We are just investigating. We are not saying that this person is you. As long as you didn't do it, the public security comrades will clear your name sooner or later."
"It's easy for you to say that. If I go to jail, how can I get married in the future?"
The two public security comrades' faces turned pale.
"You know, although we have some conflicts, I have never taken the initiative to harm you," Xu Pandi held Ruan Mingfu tightly, "If I had this intention, would I have been beaten by you twice?"
Other educated youth: “…”
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
What she said made so much sense that I was speechless.
The public security officer was also somewhat speechless, but he still explained: "Xu Zhiqing, you don't have to be afraid. We are just assisting in the investigation. After we clear you of suspicion, we will send you back safely."
"You said before that you suspected that I had something to do with this matter. Can I come back if I go with you?"
Public Security Comrade: “…”
I can't fix it for them.
Ruan Mingfu pulled the corner of the clothes in her hand and quickly moved to the side.
"Assisting in the investigation won't hurt you, and it can also help you gain some knowledge. What a great thing."
Ruan Mingfu knew that Xu Pandi was not a gossipmonger, but why should she testify for someone she had a conflict with? She was not such a cheap person. It was good for Xu Pandi to suffer a little, so that she would not have to trouble her all day long.
Xu Pandi: “…”
God's insight.
Bitch, she is indeed a bitch!
No matter how unwilling Xu Pandi was, she was taken away by two police officers.
Ruan Mingfu looked at her struggling back and smiled kindly. When she saw the basin lying at her feet, the washed clothes fell on the muddy ground and became dirty again... It was a mistake. She should have let Xu Pandi wash her clothes before leaving.
Because of the police's investigation, the villagers became more obedient, but their eyes towards Ruan Mingfu were not very friendly.
She didn't care, she wouldn't stay here forever anyway.
What Ruan Mingfu is worried about now is her future.
Zhou Peng was determined to get her, and he and the victim were in a stalemate. Now the situation is gradually improving, and she doesn't know when she can be vindicated. For a while, she was at a loss.
Headache!
*
The atmosphere in the Zhou family is not very good.
Zhou's mother looked unhappy, "I don't agree."
She had known about Ruan Mingfu for a long time. She looked weird and evil, and she was not a good person. And considering what she had done, she would be a troublemaker if she married her. She wanted to live a few more years.
Zhou Peng didn't look anxious, "Mom, we agreed on this before."
"Mom is right. A little thing can cause the whole village to be in turmoil. She is still flirting with that soldier. She is not living a normal life. If she marries into our family, how can we live a good life?"
The person who spoke was Zhou Peng's sister-in-law.
Mother Zhou softened her tone, "You have a bright future, and you can pick any girl in the city. Why do you have to hang yourself on her? If you change someone else, I will definitely agree. But this person, don't even think about entering the door of my Zhou family."
Mrs. Zhou also nodded in agreement, "Uncle, don't be so stubborn. My cousin from my mother's family is so nice, and she's not bad looking..."
Under Zhou Peng's pressing gaze, Mrs. Zhou swallowed the rest of her words.
She had been afraid of this brother-in-law since she got married, and he was very cunning. If it weren't for the benefits promised by her family, she would not have dared to offend him like this.
Zhou Peng's expression was gentle, but the displeasure in his eyes revealed his current mood.
"Mom, since you don't want to find a matchmaker, I'll go myself. After we get married, if you don't want to see us, I'll take Mingfu to live in the city."
Mother Zhou covered her chest with her hands, unable to breathe due to anger.
"No, you can't go. If you go, you won't have me as your mother anymore!"
"Uncle, Mom is not in good health to begin with, please stop irritating her," Mrs. Zhou quickly patted Mother Zhou's chest, "Uncle, don't blame me for talking too much, Ruan Zhiqing only has a pretty face, she doesn't look like a good-for-nothing. If you marry her, you might as well marry Yujiao."
Zhou Peng looked at her as if he was looking at a dead person.
"It's not your turn to talk about my affairs."
Mrs. Zhou also wanted to cry.
"What's going on?"
Lin Yujiao, wearing a white dress, walked in from outside the door, "Aunt, my mother asked me to bring you a pumpkin."
"It's Yujiao," Zhou's mother's anger disappeared and she glared at Zhou Peng, "You have no manners. You didn't see Jiaojiao holding such a big pumpkin and didn't even take it. You've grown up in vain."
Lin Yujiao said shyly, "It's okay, I'm strong."
Zhou Peng still stood there, and his mother glared at him again.
"Jiaojiao, let me do it."
"No need," Lin Yujiao dodged Zhou Dasao's hand while holding a pumpkin. "I've already moved it all the way, so this little bit won't make a difference. Aunt, tell me where to put it, and I'll move it for you."
“Just put it in the kitchen.”
Zhou's mother's chest, which was swollen and painful from anger, was finally soothed. When she saw Zhou Peng standing beside her, her eyes were full of regret.
Lin Yujiao was the daughter-in-law she was satisfied with. When she looked at Ruan Mingfu, there was nothing about her that caught her eye. She was not as capable as Lin Yujiao. When others got eight work points, she only got four, which was worse than a ten-year-old child.
"Mom, I have the final say on my own marriage," Zhou Peng stood up, turned around and left.
Mother Zhou's chest ached even more from anger.
Lin Yujiao walked out of the kitchen, but didn't see Zhou Peng, with disappointment in her eyes.
With Ruan Mingfu as a comparison, Zhou's mother is now extremely satisfied with Lin Yujiao and she can't wait to go to the Lin family to propose marriage.
…
Ruan Mingfu didn't know about this, otherwise she would be so happy that she would die.
If Zhou Peng, that bastard, hadn't pressed her so hard, she wouldn't have to rush to marry herself off. After the rumor, Ruan Mingfu never saw Xie Yanzhao again.
She couldn't help but touch her face.
After all, he was the first man she actively pursued, so it would be a pity to give up on him like this.
Ruan Mingfu's melancholy only lasted until a tractor drove over to the village.
It was not the busy farming season, and there was not much work to do in the fields. This year, everyone was on vacation, including the educated youth camp, so she decided to try her luck in the county town.
Ruan Mingfu is very generous.
Since you can't get a man, then focus on your career.
There were a lot of people today. I finally squeezed into a seat, and as soon as I sat down, I saw the person in front of me.
My goodness, when did the sucker become the village tractor driver?
Xie Yanzhao had handsome features, but he had a temperament that made him look unpleasant. The people on the bus were huddled together, leaving a large space next to him.
"Are you seated?"
Xie Yanzhao tilted his head and looked back, and immediately saw Ruan Mingfu, who stood out from the crowd. He pursed his lips and put his hand on the steering wheel of the tractor.
This was the first time the two of them met after so many days, and it was quite awkward.
Ruan Mingfu curled her lips and pretended not to see him.
"Wait a minute, there's still one person who hasn't gotten on the bus yet..."
After everyone got in the car, Xie Yanzhao started the car. He didn't drive fast, but the road was difficult to drive on, which made Ruan Mingfu feel uncomfortable. When they arrived at the county town, her face was pale and her legs were as soft as noodles.
She was the last one to get off the car and she almost couldn't stand steadily. Fortunately, a hand reached out to her and supported her, thus avoiding her falling.
"Are you okay?"
This familiar voice - Ruan Mingfu looked up and found that she was indeed the one who was taken advantage of.
He looked at her, his brows furrowed into a knot.
Ruan Mingfu waved her hands, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, just let me take it easy."
"If you can't bear it, don't try to be strong."
Ruan Mingfu's face was full of question marks.
When did she ever try to be stubborn? These two words do not exist in Miss Ruan's dictionary.
"It's okay," Ruan Mingfu looked at him curiously, "By the way, why are you driving a tractor?"
"The tractor driver in the village went to visit his relatives, so the team leader asked me to take over."
Ruan Mingfu nodded.
The victim is really a warm-hearted and good comrade who will move wherever he is needed.
After a while, Ruan Mingfu felt much better. She let go of Xie Yanzhao and said, "Then I'll leave first?"
Xie Yanzhao's eyes were dark and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that he didn't react, Ruan Mingfu snorted in her heart and ran away.
She was very busy today and had no time to bother with the sucker. Now she was Ruan. Career-oriented. Mingfu!
