Chen Shuning watched the spectacle outside with a leisurely air, his anxiety gradually dissipating.
Although this place is sparsely populated, it is not a deep mountain forest. It is just that to reach this hillside, one must cross a rugged and difficult ravine, so few people come here.
However, there are still many villagers gathering firewood in the mountains around here.
Cai Xiaoyu's scream was like a stone thrown into water, creating ripples that drew people to her, who rushed towards the sound.
Chen Shuning, on the other hand, was much more relaxed at this moment. In her courtyard, there was a stone table next to the spiritual spring.
The surface of the stone table is like a transparent window, allowing a clear view of the outside world. Sound is even more convenient; no matter where she is in the space, she can hear the sounds from the outside.
At this moment, Chen Shuning simply took out a plate of fruit from the refrigerator, sat leisurely on the stone chair in the yard, and watched the excitement with great interest.
Her eyes were filled with schadenfreude and excitement, and she was full of anticipation for the show that was about to unfold.
Of course, this isn't because Chen Shuning has a problem with her character, or that she's happy to see others suffer; it's because that person is Yang Wanqiu.
You should know that in the original book, the original owner was seriously harmed by this woman. Although she didn't take the initiative to frame Yang Wanqiu or avenge the original owner in this life, Chen Shuning was still very happy to see her suffer.
Because she was in a good mood, Chen Shuning felt that the fruit in her hand tasted even sweeter and more delicious.
Inside the space, Chen Shuning was relaxed and content, enjoying the sweet fruit while watching the lively scene outside.
But the two parties involved outside are not having such an easy time.
Cai Xiaoyu's screams quickly attracted a lot of onlookers. What made Accountant Wang and Yang Wanqiu most desperate was that there was only one way down the mountain, and at this moment, people were coming to them in droves.
Before long, a crowd of onlookers quickly gathered around Accountant Wang and Yang Wanqiu.
Faced with the pointing fingers and whispers of the crowd, Yang Wanqiu was overwhelmed with shame. She buried her head in Accountant Wang's arms like an ostrich, unable to face anyone.
But Accountant Wang wasn't so lucky. This grown man was so embarrassed that his face turned bright red, and he broke out in a cold sweat despite the freezing weather.
However, his eyes were darting around, his forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, and his face was flushed red, like a ripe apple. His tone was tinged with fear as he forced himself to explain to everyone, "Well... it's nothing, it's just that Yang, the educated youth, accidentally twisted his ankle, and I helped him up. Cai, the educated youth, probably misunderstood. Look at the mess this has made, attracting everyone here."
If it weren't for the sweat pouring down his face and his unusual expression, people might actually believe this man who usually seemed so honest and unassuming.
However, the crowd's eyes were as sharp as hawks', staring intently at Accountant Wang, not missing a single detail: Why was he covered in sweat after simply helping the female educated youth? How could his flushed face be explained? Most importantly, why were their clothes so disheveled?
In this situation, if you still say that there was no affair between the two, I'm afraid no one would believe you!
This reason is unconvincing, not to mention the adults present, even a three-year-old child would not believe it!
At this moment, amidst the lively scene, a woman who loved to join in the fun heard Hu Chunzhi in the crowd say with a disdainful look and a tone full of contempt, "I think this matter is not so simple!"
I said, "Accountant Wang, it's been quite a while since your wife left. You're a grown man in your thirties, and you have those kinds of needs, so it's understandable that you want to find a woman."
You could have just looked for women openly and honestly, but how could you do something so sneaky? Stealing women in the mountains, aren't you just bringing shame to our brigade?
"If word gets out, won't our advanced brigade's good reputation be affected?"
Although Hu Chunzhi's behavior was somewhat unreliable, her words resonated with everyone, and the onlookers seemed to have been enlightened, starting to discuss among themselves.
In particular, several villagers whose families had long coveted Accountant Wang's position saw an opportunity and took the lead in making a fuss.
Their voices were filled with anger and dissatisfaction, as if they wanted to expose Wang the accountant's actions completely.
These people's actions made the scene even more chaotic, and the emotions of the crowd were completely ignited.
They all clamored to send the two of them to the Revolutionary Committee, which terrified them. Yang Wanqiu, who had been hiding in Accountant Wang's arms pretending to be a quail, could no longer remain silent.
She abruptly lifted her head from Accountant Wang's embrace, looked at everyone with a panicked expression, and explained in a trembling voice, "Everyone has really misunderstood. I accidentally hurt my foot just now and lost my balance, so I rolled down the hillside."
Accountant Wang originally wanted to help me up, but he couldn't. Instead, he was dragged down the hillside by me.
That's why things have turned out this way; everyone has really misunderstood us!
As she spoke, Yang Wanqiu's eyes were filled with pleading. She stared intently at Cai Xiaoyu and said anxiously, "Xiaoyu, please explain to everyone! Did you see me and Accountant Wang rolling down the hillside just now, which is why you screamed in fright?" Her voice was tinged with tears, as if she had grasped at the last straw.
At this moment, Yang Wanqiu and Accountant Wang were extremely anxious. They knew that if this behavior was identified as adultery, they would face being imprisoned in a cowshed and endless public humiliation.
