"Liu Zhiqing, your mother said that you falsely accused Qiao Zhiqing from your youth cadre group. What exactly happened?" The blackmail and assault case had been investigated clearly, but the false accusation was also involved. The two officials were feeling overwhelmed.
"I didn't. Qiao Zhiqing and I lived under the same roof and were from the same hometown in Donghai. We had some kind of family connection. How could I have falsely accused her? What good would it do me?" Liu Ruoling firmly denied it.
"It was you, this black-hearted person, who found my son and told him that Qiao Zhiqing had hunted some pheasants from the mountains and was going to make soup for lunch, and asked my son to take people to catch him in the act." The mother-in-law glared at Liu Ruoling fiercely. If it weren't for the woman in front of her, how could her family have ended up in such a situation?
"I don't have close contact with Qiao Zhiqing, and we don't eat together. Even if she hunted something, she would never tell me. I don't know anything. How could I go to your son and say such things? Do you think I'm easy to bully and blame everything on me?" As she spoke, Liu Ruoling started crying again.
"We answered the call and left our hometown to come here. Was it easy? Why are you picking on us?"
"If it weren't for you, how could my son bring people to search the educated youth site?" Seeing her frail and aggrieved look, her mother wanted to scratch her face.
"Okay, your family hunts wild rabbits in the mountains to eat. It's your husband's ideological awareness that is problematic, and your son has failed to educate and discipline his family well. The brigade is right to punish you, and you shouldn't vent your anger on others." Officer A stopped the mother.
In fact, they all know that in these remote mountain villages, people's living standards are relatively low, and it is normal to go to the mountains to get some wild game. As long as it is not too blatant, or used to exchange for money, the people generally do not report it and the officials do not investigate it. But if it is made public, there will definitely be punishment.
The punishment imposed on his family by the Dongshan Brigade was relatively light. If the brigade cadres were more ruthless, they would have sent them to the commune long ago. If that were the case, the old man would not have been sent to reform for just one month.
"Our family was wrong and we accept the punishment, but Liu Zhiqing was also wrong. We ask the leaders to give him corresponding punishment." Wang Miao knew that his punishment could not be canceled and Liu Ruoling could not compensate them, so he made his own request with the idea of taking someone with him to die with him.
"What evidence do you have to prove that it was Liu Ruoling who falsely accused Zhiqing Qiao?" Secretary A was a little impatient. This family was too hateful. Not only did they not repent after doing something wrong, but they also set their sights on Zhiqing.
"She came to talk to my husband herself that day. My husband can confront her." Wang Miao said confidently.
"Secretary Tang, please send someone to call Comrade Zhang Er here." The clerk had no choice but to call Goudan over for a confrontation.
Liu Ruoling had already prepared herself mentally. Besides, she had seen a lot of things, so being a commune official was no pressure for her. So, after Goudan arrived, one of them said yes and the other said no. There was no other witnesses or physical evidence, so in the end, it was impossible to prove who was telling the truth and who was lying.
"The people at the educated youth site must know who did it. I want to go to the educated youth site to investigate." Qiao Goudan had heard the rumor. After he went there that day, Qiao Mo beat Liu Ruoling severely, indicating that she knew it was Liu Ruoling who betrayed her.
"Yes, Qiao Mo himself knows about this and he also said if there is any recording, the two leaders can ask Qiao Mo and the educated youth at the educated youth site." Wang Miao remembered what Liu Ruoling said in the morning and quickly added.
"Okay." The two officers looked at each other and nodded, and everyone went to the educated youth point together.
