The story begins with the arrival of a new batch of educated youth in the countryside last year. Unlike previous years, this time there were only two female educated youth and one male educated youth. The number was small, and each one was more handsome than the other.
There was one girl in particular who was beautiful and generous. She just went to the river alone to wash clothes, but some people said she was rolling in the haystack with a little gangster, and the story spread throughout the village.
If you walk a little faster, people will say you are seducing men. If you talk to the opposite sex, people will say you can't live without men.
In short, wherever she goes, slanderous words follow.
There was no hope of returning to the city, and life in the countryside was so difficult that the female educated youth finally couldn't bear it anymore. She collapsed physically and mentally and chose to leave this world from the big river outside the village.
Before she left, she left a letter written in blood, every word of which was filled with accusations and hatred towards certain people in Xiaojia Village.
For a period of time, everyone was indeed immersed in heavy self-blame and guilt, but life had to go on, and the incident was soon forgotten.
Some false slander, rumors, and gossip still exist, but the target has changed.
"Remember, she was killed by you. Your entire village teamed up to kill a living life.
Now, you still want me to endure it? Pah, if I hadn't called the police to prove my innocence, would you continue to make up stories about me?
The rumors started from the day I injured my leg.
Sometimes they said I deliberately got injured to avoid labor, sometimes they said I did whatever it took to live in such a luxurious house like the team leader's, and sometimes they said I broke my leg just to seduce Xiao Fangchi.
You even called me a vixen and a shameless slut, saying such awful things. Do you even want to ask for forgiveness? You are the most shameless people in the world. Who can compare to you? You are the ones who say all the bad things.
Having said that, Su Nan slammed the table with a loud "bang" sound, and then she stood up angrily. She looked so powerful that she made everyone unable to raise their heads.
The next second, Su Nan suddenly remembered that he was a disabled person and sat back down.
"Actually, I could have called the police and had you all arrested. Defamation isn't limited to the number of people involved, but I only listed a few of the most egregious cases and gave them to the police. Do you know why?
It's because I consider that we are all part of Xiaojia Village and don't want to make things too ugly. But what are you doing to me now? Forcing me to let go of these vicious women who want to kill me, I, Su Nan, tell you for sure now, it's impossible.
Su Nan's gloomy face was still ugly. He straightened his back and let out a low and terrifying laugh from his throat, which made people shudder.
For a long while, no one dared to speak again until the two young police officers finished interrogating the man and returned to the gate.
"The statements are consistent. Xiao Jing and Xiao Yueting will go with us as messengers." Chen Mu said concisely, took out handcuffs and walked towards Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing's eyes widened, and she hid behind Village Chief Xiao in fear, still shouting in fear, "Grandpa, save me."
Village chief Xiao's thin body was no place to hide Xiao Jing. Most of her body was exposed. She squatted on the ground, holding her head and shivering.
"䀲志, can you be flexible?" Village Chief Xiao stretched out his hand in a protective gesture.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu's face immediately darkened, but he still tried to persuade the old man: "I understand your feelings, please don't hinder us from enforcing the law."
Village chief Xiao hesitated, but he did not take a step back. He wanted to say something before blocking Xiao Jing and Shen Mu. However, before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by a strong male voice coming from not far away.
"There are so many people's cadres here, don't you know how to help?" The man was wearing a neat gray Zhongshan suit. He had a square face that was intimidating without even being angry. His thick eyebrows were tightly knitted, and he looked to be in a very bad mood.
"President." The commune secretary and others greeted him hurriedly and looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know who he was referring to helping.
Should we help Village Chief Xiao or the Public Security Bureau?
"What is our purpose?" Commune President Shang Haoquan had a powerful and captivating aura that made anyone who saw him feel terrified.
Now that the highest official in the entire commune has arrived, anyone who dares to make trouble will naturally have to answer obediently.
“Serve the people.”
Shang Haoquan nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand. The two young men who followed him stepped forward and grabbed Village Chief Xiao, and then Chen Mu handcuffed Xiao Jing smoothly.
"Village Chief Xiao, you can't bully others with the power given by the people." Shang Haoqun bent down and patted Village Chief Xiao's shoulder meaningfully, and then began his personal speech conference.
His words were fluent, his voice was loud, his emotions were abundant, and his body movements were appropriate, which completely aroused the emotions of everyone in the audience and the atmosphere became exciting.
Even Shang Haoquan led everyone to apologize to the victim Su Nanzhi, and vowed to learn from the lesson, reflect fully, and never make the same mistake again.
However, Su Nan didn't hear a word and stared blankly at the black figure not far away.
This was the first time she had seen him in person in almost half a month.
Zhou Rang also looked at her, his hands hidden behind his back. His palms were sweating from nervousness, and he couldn't help but clench them into fists.
"Come find me later." As if she was worried that he wouldn't understand, she mouthed the words three times in a row.
The man's dark pupils suddenly narrowed, and two blushes appeared on his face, which was slightly tanned due to work. He looked a little helpless. Her words were like a stone thrown into the originally calm lake, causing countless ripples.
And the lake was like his heart.
"Then I'll trouble Shen Qizhi and Chen Qizhi. Many people don't know the existence of the crime of defamation. This incident should be regarded as a reminder to the villagers that they should not eat or speak carelessly." After Shang Haoquan finished his speech, he went to shake hands with the two police officers.
Chen Mu nodded and said that soon their team would go to various villages to promote legal knowledge.
After exchanging a few more polite words, Shang Haoqun asked the commune cadres to help send the handcuffed criminals to the county public security bureau.
Those who were jumping around the most happily were now so frightened by Shang Haoquan's aura that they dared not even breathe. How could they dare to shout anymore? They all lowered their heads and followed him obediently.
For example, Su Tiantian is still pretending to be dizzy.
"Captain Xiao, whether the harvest of the commune this year can break the record of previous years, ensure that the villagers have enough food and clothing, and win praise from the county leaders, all depends on your Xiaojia Village." Shang Haoqun waited until all the "outsiders" had left before he dragged Xiao Heguo out alone.
The latter naturally responded repeatedly, his honest face full of excitement, because President Shang's words were a disguised recognition of his ability. He was the first among so many captains nearby, and he would be very proud when he went out in the future.
Shang Haoquan turned his gaze to Xiao Fangchi, who was standing next to Xiao Heguo. He pinched his arm and said affectionately, "Fangchi, I haven't seen you for a few months."
Then, his voice turned cold and he said, "You must be more cautious in your actions in the future. Don't scare people again. This time, you caused a female educated youth to break her leg, and she suffered harm from rumors for nothing. What about next time?"
Upon hearing this, the Xiao family father and son were both stunned. Before they could say anything, Shang Haoquan relaxed his frown and laughed, saying, "I believe you know your limits. The higher-ups think highly of you. So, you can come to work at the commune next month."
Xiao Fangchi's mood fluctuated greatly for a while, and his face changed several times. In the end, he had no choice but to nod.
"Thank you for the advice, President. I will be more cautious in the future."
