Wu Yao glared at Wan Hexing and asked, "Tell me, what's your explanation for what Xu Jiao said?"
Wan Hexing didn't look at Wu Yao, but at Xu Jiajia with a firm gaze: "I didn't touch her. I came here because a child called me and said that Jiajia fell in the warehouse. I came here, and I also brought iodine and bandages. There was no light in the warehouse. I walked closer and found something wrong, so I didn't move forward. Who knew that she suddenly went crazy and rushed towards me. I dodged, and she tore her clothes off by herself, and said that I was a hooligan. Then the villagers arrived."
Wan Hexing showed the iodine and bandage he had been holding tightly in his hand, and 30% of the people believed him.
Xu Jiajia and Wan Hexing looked at each other. In their hearts, they believed in his character. But looking at Xu Jiao's eyes, it was obvious that this wave was directed at him, which had implicated Wan Hexing.
Gu Xi had read quite a few novels when she was in school, so this kind of plot was not surprising to her. She knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.
Gu Xi asked Wan Hexing directly: "You said a child is looking for you. Do you know this child?"
Wan Hexing shook his head: "I don't usually interact with people. I remember the adults you mentioned, but I don't know the children."
Xu Jiao immediately felt proud, thinking that her plan was perfect: "If you made it up, of course you won't remember it. I didn't ask you for compensation. I just want an apology from you. I want justice."
Gu Xi ignored her and continued to ask Wan Hexing: "Let me ask you to look again, can you recognize this child?"
Wan Hexing hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be possible. This child has a black mole at the corner of his mouth. His clothes are a little small, and part of his arm is exposed. There is a wound, and it is a little inflamed. I wanted to clean his wound, but he disappeared when I turned around. I thought he was in a hurry to go home, so I didn't think much about it."
Gu Xi was a little surprised at Wan Hexing's observation skills. Although the village had electricity, the lights in the yard were not very bright. He was able to observe so many details in just a few sentences. He was truly a meticulous person.
Wu Yao also received the information and asked the villagers who were listening: "Based on these characteristics, can you guess whose child this is?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they had never seen it.
Xu Jiao lowered her head but couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She specially found a child from outside the village and gave him ten yuan, but it was impossible to find it.
The incident was once again at a stalemate. Xu Jiao slowly spoke, "You are all prejudiced against me because of Zhang Yuejin, but I am a victim. What's wrong with me wanting justice? The imperfect victim that Gu Xi mentioned before is me. It's just that Wan Hexing, Wang Xu and Gu Xi are more familiar with each other and don't want to believe me. They keep talking about fairness and justice, which is simply biased."
When a big hat is put on someone, ordinary people would definitely be emotional, but Gu Xi did not refute it as she did in the past. She looked at the unknown point and thought silently.
Wan Hexing felt that he was innocent and was not afraid of being investigated, but he was upset when Xu Jiao accused Gu Xi of something wrong. "Don't talk nonsense, you lunatic. Gu Zhiqing has always been fair and just. She won't take sides. You know the truth best. You are really evil now. Uncle Xu really has an ungrateful person in his family."
Xu Jiajia couldn't help but speak up for Wan Hexing: "Hexing said there must be this child. It's impossible for a person to describe such details when lying. He has been with me for so long and has always followed the rules. He was even laughed at by Gu Xi as a wooden man, but he still respected me and said that we are still in a relationship. He can't let me suffer any loss, and he is also afraid of affecting my reputation. He won't do such a hooligan thing."
Xu Jiao covered her chest as if she had suffered a great injustice: "The facts are right in front of you and you still don't want to believe it. I helped you to avoid this disaster. You were the victim in the first place. Who is the ungrateful wolf?"
Her appearance did indeed make the villagers who were watching her feel pity for her: "Yes, no one would joke about their own reputation. Why did she frame Wan Hexing? And she doesn't want money or responsibility, she just wants an apology. She is so wronged, I don't think she is faking it."
These words really left Wan Hexing speechless. No one could believe that there was someone who could be so dark-minded as to make self-destructive accusations.
Gu Xi was in no mood to argue or defend herself, so she said to Xu Jiajia, "Go get all the teachers in the school and see if there are any children like this in other villages, and if anyone has relatives bringing their children here today, or if anyone brought their children to work with them."
After a few educated youth teachers arrived and asked some more questions, they still did not have such an impression of the children. If any children in the school were injured, it would be recorded and they would be concerned about the children's physical health every day.
At this moment, Uncle Zhao, who was pulling the ox cart, was also called over. He often interacted with people from other villages who came to work.
Uncle Zhao immediately remembered something: "Today, some people from the neighboring village came to collect pig manure. There was an old man who was about my age. His son had sprained his waist and was resting at home. He brought his grandson to collect pig manure. I didn't see the child, but when we were chatting, he mentioned that his grandson was bitten by a dog in the village. The wound was quite serious and had not healed. He was going to find a village doctor to see him."
Xu Jiao's smug expression suddenly changed and she became a little nervous. How could there be such a mistake?
Wu Yao's eyes lit up when he saw the deadlock was broken, and he continued to ask, "Do you know which village he is from?"
Uncle Zhao nodded and said, "Old Chen from Chenjia Village. Almost everyone in the village has the surname Chen. I don't know his specific name, but I've always called him Old Chen. I call his son Little Chen. The village just got out of poverty last year, so the conditions are a bit difficult. I even gave them ten eggs, and they are very grateful to me."
Xu Zhengrong added: "Chenjia Village is 6 miles away from here. It's too late now. Let's go look for it tomorrow morning."
Gu Xi saw Xu Jiao lowering her head and no longer showing her pride: "Let me ask you again, did Wan Hexing behave in a rude way towards you?"
Xu Jiao lowered her head and did not answer. After a while, she laughed, and then burst into tears: "Why are you all so happy, but I met such a bastard, I can't accept it. It's Wan Hexing's fault. Why does he pretend to be a good man in front of me for no reason?
All men are the same, there is no one who doesn't cheat, so I wanted to trick him into coming at night, and if it was really a done deal, I would make him take responsibility for me. But he would hide when he saw me, so I had no choice but to resort to this method. "
The villagers had never seen such a shameless person before, and today was an eye-opener: "Oh my God, how could there be such a person who could do such a shameless thing, and he is a high school graduate, how could he be even more despicable than us farmers."
The auntie next to him was not happy to hear this: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with us farmers? We work so hard every day in the fields. Working people are the most glorious. It's because we read so much that we have such evil thoughts and bad intentions."
The eldest sister nodded as she listened, "That's right. Two different people can sleep in the same bed. I used to think she was deceived by Zhang Yuejin, but I was a little stupid. Now I know that she is so bad. Wan Hexing is right. The village chief has raised an ungrateful person."
Wu Yao stood up and said, "Well, the truth has been revealed. Wan Hexing has been cleared of all charges. Let's all go. The remaining matters are the Xu family's affairs. Let them handle them themselves."
Then he patted Wan Hexing on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Wan has been wronged, but the matter has finally been made clear. You can go back first. I will give your uncle Xu some time on this matter. You can also raise any requests you have."
Wan Hexing shook his head and looked at Xu Jiajia: "As long as Jiajia is cleared of all charges, it's fine. I'm a grown man, it's fine. I'll go back first."
Wan Hexing saw Xu Jiajia looking at him, looking like she was about to cry, so he gave her a silly smile and said, "I'm going to go back first, come find me if you have anything else, you didn't fall, don't cry, there are so many people watching, it would be ugly to cry."
Xu Jiajia was so angry that she laughed again: "You are ugly, your whole family is ugly."
Wan Xi was watching the fun from the sidelines and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then the blame came from the sky: "If you want to blame someone, blame my brother. I didn't offend any of you, so why should I be implicated?"
Xu Jiajia felt a little embarrassed and a little amused by her own recklessness, and blushed: "Oh, it's all your brother's fault."
Wang Xu saw that this was not the time or place to joke around, so he coughed twice to remind them: "Go back first, it's so late. Let's all go home."
Gu Xi stepped forward and took his arm: "Let's go, leave some space for Uncle Xu. Also, we still have to find that child early tomorrow morning and remind him to go to the hospital for vaccination. Dog bites may cause rabies, so we must take it seriously. Once you get this disease, the mortality rate is 100%."
