Su Nan was sitting upright on a bamboo chair, wiping his tears with the back of his hand. Suddenly he heard Yang Juhua's plea, and paused, with a sneer on his lips.
"It's not that I don't want to save you, but the country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment. I can't do anything about it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xiaolan, who had been keeping her back straight and silent, raised her head and looked at her, a little excitedly saying, "Comrade Su, we just heard what Public Security Chen said. If you are willing to forgive us and withdraw the report, we won't be arrested."
No, she absolutely could not go to the police station. If her family found out, she would be finished.
"Yes, withdraw the case." Yang Juhua looked like she had lost her soul. Her eyes were dull and she just kept repeating the words "withdraw the case".
Su Tiantian pushed away the swaying Yang Juhua, took a step forward, forced a smile and whispered to Su Nan, "Yes, we are all from the same educated youth camp, why bother going to the Public Security Bureau?
We didn't understand the situation clearly and misunderstood you, so we said some bad things about you. Nan Nan, I am your cousin, can you really bear to see me go to jail?"
Su Tiantian's eyes turned red with fear at the thought that she might go to jail or be sent to a more remote farm for reform.
"Cousin? Su Tiantian, you still know that you are my cousin? If you didn't mention this, I would have thought that we were enemies for several lifetimes.
Now you think of playing the emotional card, but when you were trying your best to destroy my reputation, did you ever remember that I am your blood cousin?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but sigh and click their tongues, and at the same time took a few steps back, moving a little further away from Su Tiantian. How could you expect someone who could slander even her own relatives at will to be sincere to others?
"Fellow villagers, please give us your judgment. This incident was originally caused by a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. It was all a misunderstanding. Su Nan was so cruel. Oh, God, please arrest this heartless person. She wants to call the police to arrest her cousin."
Su Tiantian's eyes darkened, her mind raced, and she suddenly staggered forward a few steps, then quickly grabbed the edge of the clothes of a middle-aged woman next to her, and then fainted as if she couldn't bear the blow.
Wang Yinglan, a middle-aged woman, wanted to reach out and tear off her clothes, but she couldn't do it even after using all her strength. She caught a glimpse of Su Tiantian's pale face and couldn't help feeling distressed.
This educated youth, who was about the same age as her daughter, was actually sent to the public security bureau to live in jail. What's more, the person who sent her to jail was her own cousin. It was really pitiful.
Besides, who hasn't gossiped about others behind their backs? Let's not talk about anything else, just the incident involving Su Nan and Su the educated youth. I guess everyone in the village has been talking about it.
Logically speaking, shouldn't everyone be arrested? But the Public Security Bureau is so small, how could they arrest everyone?
"Su Zhiqing, Su Meizi, look at your cousin, she is so sad, why don't you just forget about it? We are a family, we are still connected, why kill them all.
Besides, going to jail is not an honorable thing. It will bring shame to the family. Your cousin is in trouble. How can you, as her cousin, get away with it? And if your family knew about this, they would definitely scold you. "
The middle-aged woman supported Su Tiantian to prevent her from falling to the ground. In a few words, she pushed all the blame onto Su Nan. Her earnest and earnest look made people applaud her.
Su Nan sneered, but before she could respond, someone interrupted her.
"What Xiao Wang said makes sense. Putting aside the fact that you two are cousins, the fact that you two went to the countryside together and came to our Xiaojia Village and became members of our village is a kind of fate.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be overcome. As long as everyone takes a step back, everyone will be happy.
In my opinion, Yang Juhua, Su Tiantian, and Qin Xiaolan should apologize to you, and you should stop caring about it. "Village Chief Xiao glanced at Xiao Jing, who had been submissive since the police arrived, sighed, and quickly took over to smooth things over.
If this matter cannot be properly resolved, Jing'er might also end up in jail. How can this be tolerated? Wouldn't the eldest brother and his wife come to make trouble for him?
After all, among so many children, the couple only had one daughter, Xiao Jing, whom they raised as their lifeblood. If she was taken away by the police right under his nose this time, wouldn't the family be in chaos?
So Village Chief Xiao thought for a moment and continued, "There are so many people, and no one in any village in the whole township has been arrested by the Public Security Bureau for this kind of thing.
If the news gets out, how will others view us? So if this matter can be resolved privately, don't make it public. It will not only embarrass you, but also the entire village."
After all, he is the head of the village, highly respected and virtuous. He speaks in an orderly manner, and it seems that every word he says is made with everyone in mind. So as soon as Village Chief Xiao finished speaking, many people followed suit.
She even started to accuse Su Nan of not considering the overall situation and being too selfish. Besides, being gossiped about was not a big deal. Who hadn't been gossiped about? Only she was so hypocritical that she wanted to call the police.
Seeing this, Su Tiantian buried her face in her arms, a smile appearing in the dark.
I learned this trick from you, Su Nan. Who doesn't know how to act weak? You are helpless now, right?
Seeing the villagers becoming more and more agitated, Su Nan was speechless. The emotional rumors did not hurt them, but when it came to the word forgiveness, they spoke so lightly.
As bystanders, or one of the perpetrators of verbal violence, they can still accuse her, the victim, with a high-sounding tone, saying that it is simply ridiculous and hateful.
"It's not me who is embarrassed, but people like you who stand on the moral high ground and tell others what to do. If the rumor was spread about your daughter or granddaughter, would you still say the same thing? Would you let your relatives forgive the perpetrator? I'm afraid you would want to chop them into pieces."
"If you can't do it, please don't come here to persuade me to forgive you, and don't tell me that the people in a village will rise and fall together. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you can't control your mouth, then shut up. No one has ever asked you to say bad things about others behind their backs."
“If you don’t know the whole story, don’t advise others to be kind. Whether I have a conscience or not is none of your business.
Do you know that gossip is like murder? I am sitting here safely because I have a good attitude. If I had a bad attitude, I would have jumped into the river by now.
You won't forget the female educated youth who was forced to death by you, right? "
As soon as Su Nan said this, everyone in the room changed their expressions and lowered their heads, not daring to look into her eyes.
This matter is a taboo that no one in Xiaojia Village wants to mention again. Although it was finally left unresolved, it still left a huge shadow in everyone's heart.
