Sister Duan, acting mysteriously, pulled her into the courtyard, looked around, and whispered, "Yueqin, you don't know yet, do you? It was Chen Gui who reported A'an."
Mei Yueqin said, "I just heard about it too, is it true?"
Sister Duan shook her head and said, "Who knows if it's true or not? Anyway, everyone's saying it. I think it's probably true."
"Think about it, flies don't land on eggs without cracks."
"Why is everyone talking about Chen Gui, and not others?"
Wu Ping also said, "Sister Duan is right. There's no smoke without fire."
"Dad, aren't you going to the village committee later? Why don't you ask Chen Gui?"
Wu Yingwei nodded: "Yes, I will."
Sister Duan said indignantly, "How could Chen Gui do this? He must be jealous. Yingwei, you can't let him off so easily."
"This time it's a whistleblower report, next time it might be a slander."
Wu Yingwei nodded.
Sister Duan also said, "I'll go to the convenience store later and have a good talk about this with someone."
Mei Yueqin smiled as she saw Sister Duan off, and they chatted for a while longer.
Back in the courtyard.
Wu Ping and Wu Yingwei had already put breakfast on the table. Mei Yueqin washed her hands and sat down, but couldn't help asking, "Dad, did A'an do this?"
Wu Yingwei nodded.
Although gossip often circulates in the village, it's impossible for it to spread this quickly.
Wu Ping laughed and said, "A'an did the right thing."
"Chen Gui must be feeling terrible right now."
“He might even be scared when his bad deeds are spread around.”
Wu Yingwei snorted coldly: "He..."
"It will definitely be uncomfortable, but I'm not afraid."
"Chen Gui will investigate who is spreading rumors. If he finds out, he probably won't let it go."
Wu Ping's eyes widened: "Huh?"
Putting yourself in his shoes, if he were to report Wu An, and then the whole village were talking about it, he would probably be terrified and would only try to prove his innocence.
He could never have imagined causing trouble for the person spreading the gossip.
Or you can't say it.
People are different.
A good horse is ridden, a kind person is bullied.
Chen Gui is not so easy to deal with.
Wu Yingwei finished his meal quickly, picked up his teacup, and headed towards the village committee.
To his surprise, Chen Gui was already at the village committee. When he saw him walk in, Chen Gui greeted him with a smile, "Yingwei, I heard your second son went out to sea again this morning."
Wu Yingwei nodded.
Chen Gui continued, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, "Everyone else sets off at dawn, but he only sets off early this morning. He's so slow, he can't even catch up with the hot shit."
"As his father, you have to remind him not to become complacent just because he's made a little money."
"If a person becomes lazy, they are prone to becoming rotten."
“I’m not exaggerating. Your second son used to be so good. He even got into university. But look what happened. He was suddenly expelled from university and became a scoundrel.”
"There are precedents for this."
"It's finally getting better, don't let it go back to the way it was, that would be..."
Wu Yingwei slammed the teacup heavily on the table with a loud bang, interrupting Chen Gui's words.
At this moment.
The old village chief walked in leaning on his cane. He saw Wu Yingwei glaring at Chen Gui, but he wasn't surprised. He had obviously heard what Chen Gui said outside. He said, "Chen Gui, you should say less."
Then he looked at Wu Yingwei and said earnestly, "Yingwei, although what Agui said is hard to hear, if you think about it, it actually makes some sense."
It seems the old village chief is giving equal blame to both sides, but in reality, his words still seem to favor Chen Gui.
Chen Gui chuckled awkwardly, "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."
"I'm just saying this because it's hard to hear."
"If Yingwei can't stand it, then I won't say anything."
Other village committee members followed them in, and one of them saw Chen Gui smiling and said, "Agui, how can you still smile?"
"Do you know that the whole village is talking about how you reported Wu An?"
Chen Gui suddenly stood up: "What?"
"How is this possible... I..."
Everyone looked at him.
Chen Gui paused for a moment, then said stiffly, "That's a rumor. How could I do such a thing?"
For some reason, everyone seemed a little disappointed.
Chen Gui's mind and mouth are both quick, and he didn't unconsciously say anything he "shouldn't have said".
Chen Gui asked, still uneasy, "Is it really true that everyone's spreading this?"
Everyone nodded.
Even the old village chief said, "The rumors are outrageous."
"As I've come this far, many people have asked me if it's true."
Chen Gui looked at Wu Yingwei: "Yingwei, this is a rumor."
"You should know me, I would never do such a thing."
You don't believe me, do you?
Wu Yingwei said, "I don't think that's possible either. You're so shrewd. If you did something like that, you would definitely make sure you clear yourself of all wrongdoing. It's impossible for the news to spread everywhere."
Chen Gui originally wanted to nod in agreement, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem like a nice thing to say.
Wu Yingwei continued, "I personally believe you, but that's what everyone in the village is saying."
"I think flies don't land on eggs without cracks. Think about it carefully, are you really sure you have no problems?"
"Also, that's what everyone in the village is saying. You still need to find a way to prove your innocence, otherwise the rumors will only get more and more outrageous."
Chen Gui shouted, "Of course I have no problem!"
He was indeed involved, but he was only responsible for keeping an eye on things.
He wasn't the one who reported it.
He knew Wu An would suspect him, but he figured Wu An could suspect him, since he had no evidence anyway. He could just talk about him behind his back; he didn't care at all.
He couldn't stand such rumors.
Chen Gui is a man who cares about his reputation.
The rumors are everywhere; even if it wasn't him, it's still him.
He shouldn't take the blame for this.
Wu Yingwei took a sip of tea and said, "Then why not talk about others, but specifically about you?"
"You said you didn't do it."
"Then you need to find out who did it."
"Otherwise, you'll be taking the blame for someone else, and the person spreading the rumors might just be trying to make you take the fall."
Chen Gui's expression changed.
yes.
Maybe Wu Yingwei is right, someone deliberately made him take the blame!
Chen Gui slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "I'll go find out who's spouting nonsense!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out the door.
Wu Yingwei put down his teacup; that was all he could do.
Chen Gui investigated thoroughly, but found nothing, which made him even more suspicious that Shen Nan was behind it.
Wu Yingjin asked, "Brother Gui, what are you planning to do about this?"
Chen Gui, smoking a cigarette, said in a muffled voice, "What else can I do? The shit's already in my pants, I can only take it."
"No matter what, without evidence, even if the rumors are widespread, they are still just rumors."
He took the blame, but not entirely.
It's really uncomfortable.
Even though he knew Shen Nan had tricked him, he couldn't ask her, because even if he did, Shen Nan would definitely not admit it, and it would only strain their relationship.
If the young man loses his temper and starts arguing with him, it will be even more difficult to resolve the situation.
He still needs to maintain a good relationship with Shen Nan; it's not time to turn against him yet.
This is something I'll just have to make a note of for now.
If Shen Nan wants to develop his business in the village in the future, he will have plenty of opportunities to make up for it.
