Granny Yu watched as her son, naked and holding a rough porcelain bowl, was surrounded by a crowd, huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Get out of here, all of you! This is my home."
"What right do you have to come in?"
He cursed loudly at everyone, and his hands were equally ruthless.
She grabbed some clothes from the closet and put them on her son.
Seeing the bruises on her son's back from being dragged, she trembled with heartache.
"Oh dear, everyone look, this is what they call 'if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.'"
"When has such a scandalous thing ever happened in our brigade? This old woman Yu still thinks she's right!"
"With Granny Yu's confidence, it's no wonder that Yu Zhengbao dares to run around naked."
"Hey everyone, there's still one hiding in that bed. Quickly drag him out, hang his tattered shoes on him, and parade him through the streets."
"Otherwise, if all the young people follow suit and the streets are full of naked people, what will become of us?"
"Exactly, exactly, they're still not behaving themselves even at this point."
"We will never let a bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong an innocent person."
"This is utterly lawless! We must punish them severely."
"Yes, we must criticize the soybeans severely and resolutely fight against this decadent ideology."
"We've all seen what happened today, haven't we?"
"Yes, yes, I saw it."
"I saw it too."
"Drag those two scoundrels out."
"Yes, drag her out and see which shameless little hussy it is."
"Let them dare to act like hooligans and have affairs."
Tang Liping could no longer hold back; the taut string in her mind snapped in an instant.
He suddenly lifted his head from under the covers.
He shouted, "I didn't! I didn't!"
"Waaah, we're innocent!"
"We were framed!"
Those standing nearby took a closer look and then realized who the person with tears streaming down their face and disheveled hair was.
"Oh, it's Tang Zhiqing."
"It was Tang Zhiqing who had an affair."
"Arrest him, arrest him, and take him to the Revolutionary Committee."
"You still won't admit it? You were caught naked in bed and you still won't admit it."
Several people who had a good impression of Tang Liping began to speak.
"Tang Zhiqing usually seems like a very upright person, but he's as timid as a mouse."
"He doesn't seem like the type to have an affair with Yu Zhengbao."
"Tang Zhiqing, tell me quickly, did Yu Zhengbao bully you?"
Did he force you?
Tang Liping shrank back in a panic, looking at the chattering crowd in terror.
“Look, everyone, Tang Zhiqing was forced.”
“Yu Zhengbao is acting against the wishes of women.”
Granny Yu was also shocked to see that the person on the bed was Tang Liping.
So all this fuss is about, and it's not even about the main character.
At this time, everyone was saying that Yu Zhengbao was forcing educated youth.
He jumped up immediately.
"Bullshit!"
“My son is still a child, and he is usually very well-behaved.”
"I think it's some vixen from the city who seduced my husband."
Yu Zhengbao looked at his mother, who was protecting him against a hundred men.
His gaze unconsciously met that of Tang Liping on the bed.
Both of them knew in their hearts that they were now in a situation where they couldn't clear their names no matter what.
Even if they were framed, they have no evidence.
Especially given the current situation.
That's like mud falling into your pants; even if it's not poop, it's still poop.
"The brigade leader and the village secretary are coming, everyone please make way."
Liu Dazhu and Luo Pingwei were pushed and shoved in.
Both of them had long, drawn-out expressions.
This kind of thing happened right when we were rushing to harvest the crops; it's bad enough that it disrupted our work.
It could also affect the reputation of the entire brigade or even the commune.
"Stop arguing, what are you arguing about?"
"Put your clothes on first, and see what you look like."
After the two had finished getting ready, Luo Pingwei spoke with a grim expression.
"What exactly happened? Explain everything clearly to me, or you'll be sent to the Revolutionary Committee and put in a dark room."
Yu Zhengbao finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
He quickly grabbed Granny Yu, trembling as he spoke.
“Brigade leader, secretary, Tang and I fell in love freely.”
"We're aiming to get married."
"We definitely can't do anything like that, like a hooligan."
"Great leaders have taught us that dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around."
"I always keep those words in mind."
"But we're young after all, and we couldn't control our emotions for a moment, so, so..."
Granny Yu then realized that what happened today was a done deal.
To say that he and Tang Zhiqing had no problems would be blatant lying.
Put other issues aside for now; let's save our son first.
"Yes, my Zhengbao and Tang Zhiqing are both unmarried and in a normal romantic relationship."
"The child was young and didn't know any better. He couldn't resist and ate the forbidden fruit. Is it really necessary for you to be so overbearing?"
"Everyone has been young once, and we're not irresponsible."
"How did it become indecent assault and having an affair?"
"We'll hold a banquet tomorrow to marry Tang Zhiqing."
Liu Dazhu and Luo Pingwei's expressions did not soften much.
Not long ago, a murderer named Liu Pinggang was arrested in the brigade.
If another rapist were to emerge, then all the unmarried young men and women in the entire village would be left without the option to marry.
