Chapter 60: Crying like a man
"He's jealous of me."
"Jiaojiao, he likes me wearing white shirts. Jiangye doesn't have any and can't afford one, so he got jealous and wanted to destroy my clothes. When he failed, he wanted to kill me."
This explanation was so outrageous, so outrageous that no one present believed Su Yu except Jiang Ye, the person involved.
Such a tiny tear might have been caused by Su Zhiqing wearing the clothes for a long time. Look at the yellowed corner of the clothes. How can it be blamed on Jiang Ye?
And killing someone because of a piece of clothing is too much.
There was obvious disbelief on everyone's faces. Su Yu saw it and was immediately furious.
Humiliation, naked humiliation.
“The sage said: ‘If a man is without faith, I don’t know what he can do.’”
"What? What did Su Zhiqing say?"
"Su Zhiqing started chanting again."
Su Yu couldn't help but look dark at the words of advice from those around him.
A bunch of country bumpkins.
Su Yu reached out and lifted the frame of his glasses, ready to show off his knowledge, but when he put his hand on it, he found that the place where he used to wear glasses was empty, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
At this moment, seeing through the confusion on everyone's faces, Xie Jiaojiao explained, "Su Zhiqing said he doesn't lie."
Does she understand what this means?
Su Yu stared at Xie Jiaojiao blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Everyone who witnessed the whole process started laughing when they heard what Xie Jiaojiao said.
"Oh my god."
"These educated youth from the city are so shameless! They lie in broad daylight with their eyes crossed."
"We all saw it just now. Jiang Ye had already dodged it, but Su Zhiqing threw the hoe at him again."
......
Su Yu was stunned for a moment and retorted loudly.
"You're talking nonsense."
"I don't."
"Stop slandering me."
"Su Zhiqing, calm down first."
Jiang Tao interrupted Su Yu who was chattering and turned to look at Jiang Ye.
"how do you say?"
Jiang Ye calmly took out a watch.
"Su Zhiqing, is this watch yours?"
Su Yu didn't know what Jiang Ye was planning, but he had worn that watch for two years and was very familiar with it, so he recognized it at a glance.
"You stole my watch?" Su Yu thought so as a matter of course.
His watch should have been mortgaged to Jiang Lin, but now it suddenly appeared in Jiang Ye's hands. With Jiang Ye's patched clothes, he could not afford such an expensive thing at all.
Then, the only possibility left is that he is dishonest and stole the watch.
"nonsense."
Xie Jiaojiao was eager to protect her husband, so she immediately stood up and confronted Su Yu.
"This is the watch I paid for."
"Xie Jiaojiao!" Su Yu's face turned pale.
Xie Jiaojiao ignored Su Yu's roar and continued, "I gave it to Su Zhiqing two years ago. Su Zhiqing has such a good memory, I don't think he would forget it, right?"
Su Yu's teeth were grinding, "I haven't forgotten."
"But, but..." Su Yu closed his eyes and opened them again, as if he had made up his mind: "If you give it to me, it will be mine."
Su Yu said this with great difficulty, just like a young wife who was molested by a bully but unable to resist, with her face full of humiliation.
He couldn't let go of the watch.
Unfortunately, the Xie Jiaojiao who was inspired by Jiang Lan today is not the Xie Jiaojiao from that morning.
Xie Jiaojiao knew that Su Yu cared about her reputation.
Although she no longer likes Su Yu, the habit she has formed over the past two years has been engraved into her bones. How could she suddenly forget it?
When something happens, she will subconsciously protect Su Yu's face, so she always feels a little aggrieved when facing Su Yu.
But now...
No more.
"Doesn't Su Zhiqing call himself an intellectual? How come a cultured person wants something like me that's stained with money?" Xie Jiaojiao mocked him without any hesitation.
Su Yu was both embarrassed and annoyed, as if he had been slapped hard in the face. He stared at Xie Jiaojiao, his eyes full of blame.
He blamed Xie Jiaojiao for being ignorant, which made him feel like he was being roasted on the fire and unable to get out of the situation.
Su Yu bit her lower lip, leaving a tooth mark: "Xie Zhiqing, I didn't expect you to be such a person."
"It's just a watch. I'll just give it back to you. I don't care about it."
Su Yu said this stubbornly, but her eyes were glued to her watch and she couldn't bear to look away.
Seeing that Xie Jiaojiao had had enough fun, Jiang Ye continued to speak and brought the topic back to where it had gone off track.
"Just now, Su Zhiqing saw me wearing this watch and misunderstood that I stole it. He came to me angrily to argue with me. No matter how I explained to him, he just wouldn't listen. In the end, he even tried to snatch it away."
Jiang Ye paused and turned to look at everyone.
"Please tell me something fair."
"If this watch belonged to you, would you give it to Su Zhiqing?"
Jiang Ye still had that ferocious look on his face, and even his tone was cold, no different from usual.
But in the eyes of everyone, this action was because Jiang Ye was such an arrogant person and asked them for help to make the decision.
In an instant, everyone's sense of justice surged in their hearts.
"What are you giving me? My wife is mine."
"That's right, who would give him a watch worth over a hundred yuan that requires money and a ticket?"
"He looks ugly, but he has beautiful thoughts."
The people in the west end of the village are all men, and they are the ones who do the housework. Naturally, they look down on Su Yu, who looks like he will fall down with a gust of wind.
Su Yu's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
Following everyone's words, Jiang Ye continued: "I didn't give it to you either, but Su Yu came over to grab it."
"I just wanted to push him away, but he hit my hand with his face, then pulled my clothes and dragged me to the ground."
"Later, I tried to stand up with the hoe, but Su Zhiqing, for some reason, went crazy and snatched the hoe from my hand and threw it straight at me."
"If I hadn't been lucky, I would be dead now."
When Su Yu heard Jiang Ye's words that turned black into white, the expression on his face changed again and again like a palette of colors, which was very interesting.
He was not stupid and immediately refuted it.
"Nonsense, nonsense."
"That's clearly not the case. He's slandering me." Su Yu, eyes red with anger, grabbed Jiang Tao's arm and said, "Captain, you have to make the decision for me. I'm innocent."
Anyone who hurts their young master, stay away from me, otherwise he will not be able to help but give Su Yu a big slap.
Jiang Tao pulled his hand out and scolded, "Stand still."
"You're just crying, how can you be a man?!"
Su Yu's face was as distorted as a silkworm cocoon.
"So what do you think happened?"
"He tore my clothes and tried to kill me..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Tao interrupted Su Yu's ridiculous words.
"Su Zhiqing, even if you're lying, at least use your brain. Do you think we're three-year-olds who don't understand anything?"
Su Yu felt extremely aggrieved. He looked at the people who were attacking him and said, "I get it. You are all in the same group, bullying an outsider like me."
"Nonsense! Who bullied you?" Jiang Tao frowned. "If you feel it's unfair, there's witnesses and evidence. Let's go to the Public Security Bureau."
"Witness?"
Su Yu suddenly realized something and looked at everyone with surprise in his eyes. "You all saw it, didn't you?"
"It was Jiang Ye who tore my shirt and tried to kill me?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"No, it's you who covets the watch and wants to kill Jiang Ye."
