Song Liandi's words made it difficult for the onlookers to tell whether they were true or false.
Many people came later after hearing the news. They only heard that the police came to arrest Yang Laizi, and did not know the specific events that happened at the village entrance.
With others adding fuel to the fire, everyone started talking about it.
"This Song Zhiqing doesn't look like a bad person at all! Was she wrongly accused?"
"Can you tell if he's a bad guy or not? I think these educated youth from the city have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. The kids from our village are the most honest ones!"
"That's right, who is cheating whom here? We still don't know."
"Did Yang Laizi really spread rumors about the female educated youth?"
"Oh, who knows? Why doesn't Yang Laizi spread rumors about others? These female educated youth from the city might not be decent themselves!"
"Oh? Aunt Hua, if that's the case, then next time your daughter Hua sees Yang Laizi on the road, don't hide! We grew up together in the same village, there's nothing to be ashamed of! If you like Yang Laizi so much, why don't you invite him over for a drink and a chat?"
"You...my Hua'er is just timid. There's nothing to say. Stop talking nonsense!"
Song Liandi felt proud. As long as she didn't admit it, there was nothing she could do.
It was Yang Laizi who did it all alone, it has nothing to do with her!
With Yang Laizi's reputation, he was still spreading rumors about Xu Nanxing this morning?
Isn't it normal to come and frame her now?
Anyway, Yang Laizi’s words are no longer credible!
This crime cannot be blamed on her.
Song Liandi, who figured all this out, was even more proud.
Looking at Xu Nanxing who was safe and sound in front of her, she felt very jealous.
How come Xu Nanxing was still able to escape danger even though she planned it so well!
Humph! Just wait and see. After this period of time, I don’t believe I won’t be able to deal with you.
Song Liandi looked at Xu Nanxing with an unfriendly look. Chen Jiaxin couldn't stand it and immediately stepped forward and said:
"I can testify that Yang Laizi came to our educated youth camp a while ago and said some nonsense about the educated youth. We were all confused at the time and didn't believe what he said. But I saw Song Zhiqing secretly laughing. Didn't he know about this beforehand and was gloating?"
Song Liandi's heart tightened upon hearing this, and she immediately said, "I really thought Xu Zhiqing was dating someone, and I was happy for her! Is that not okay? How could I know he was lying?"
Chen Jiaxin said angrily, "You...everyone knows that Yang Laizi is a well-known idler in the village. What's there to be happy about? Do you think everyone else is stupid? Who would believe you?"
When Old Lady Yang heard people talking about her son, she immediately cursed, "Bah! My son is not a slacker, he's very filial. Don't talk nonsense!"
Everyone else rolled their eyes when they heard this. Who in this village doesn't know what kind of person your son is?
Flirting with cats and dogs.
Who wouldn’t take a detour when seeing him?
Thinking of Yang Laizi's reputation, everyone felt that Song Liandi's statement about being happy for the other party was really unbelievable.
Who would want to date someone like Yang Laizi?
He doesn't work all day, just hangs around, and has to rely on his parents to support him.
Even the girls in the village would stay away from him when they saw him, let alone the educated youth from the city.
So when Song Liandi said this, no one believed her, and everyone looked at her with suspicion.
I wondered if Song Liandi was really colluding with Yang Laizi to frame others?
Upon seeing this, Song Liandi realized that her previous statement was full of loopholes.
He suddenly knelt down and burst into tears, saying, "I admit that I am a little envious of Xu Zhiqing's family conditions. Her family treats her well. She has money and tickets, and she has no worries about food and clothing. Every day she only needs to go up the mountain to collect grass for pigs, and she doesn't need to worry about making a living at all.
I work hard in the fields every day, but the few work points I earn aren't even enough to feed myself. After hearing what Yang Laizi said today, I actually thought Xu Zhiqing and him were dating. I had no idea those stories were all fake! I work honestly every day, so how could I know if those stories were true or not? How did they get involved with Yang Laizi?
No one expected that Song Liandi would kneel down and cry.
And what she said does seem to make sense!
I've never heard of Song Liandi having any dealings with Yang Laizi!
How come Song Zhiqing can control Yang Laizi?
Is Yang Laizi such an obedient person?
I'm afraid the only thing he can listen to is what his mother, Old Lady Yang, says!
Thinking of this, everyone saw that Song Liandi was crying so hard that she looked so pitiful, and they began to believe what she said.
The villagers chose to believe Song Liandi, not because she had good acting skills and deceived the villagers.
This is mainly because most people will feel pity for the weak and will tend to side with them.
As for how they distinguish the strong from the weak?
Song Liandi's family is poor and her life is difficult. She works herself to death every day and still doesn't have enough to eat. She is definitely weak.
Yang Laizi is a tall and strong man who idles around every day and plays with cats and dogs. He is the dominant one.
Old Lady Yang is fierce, aggressive and unruly. She is a famous shrew in the village and of course she is also strong.
Xu Nanxing, like a child, went up the mountain to pick grass for pigs every day. He had a few hundred yuan in his hands and had enough to eat every day, which was much better off than ordinary people.
So, the three of them, the strong ones, came to bully the weak Song Liandi?
Xu Nanxing was speechless, and others were also talking about it.
"I just got here. What on earth did Yang Laizi do wrong? I heard the police are here to arrest him."
"I heard that Yang Laizi spread rumors and slandered people."
"Ah! Who is he slandering? Doesn't he hang around everywhere every day?"
"I heard that the person he slandered was a female educated youth from the city."
"Yes, he said he was dating a female educated youth, but who knew it was just nonsense."
"Yang Laizi? Did he do such a thing?"
"Yes! Earlier at the village entrance, Yang Laizi personally admitted to spreading rumors, but he said he was instructed by this educated young man Song!"
"Ah? Then why? They are all educated youth, why would they want to harm others?"
"There's a contradiction! And I heard that this Xu Zhiqing, who was slandered, had thousands of dollars in his hands!"
"It's not thousands of dollars, it's hundreds of dollars."
"What? She's just a little girl, how could she have so much money? A few hundred yuan is a lot!"
"Hey, you might not know this, but there was another educated youth named Huang who came from the same place as Xu. Huang told me that Xu's maternal grandfather was a famous capitalist, so isn't it normal for her to be rich?"
"What? The descendants of capitalists!"
"Ah! Then her family must be very rich!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Xu Nanxing.
