Old Lady Yang was not well-liked in the village to begin with, and this time she bumped into someone herself, so no villagers or village cadres came forward to help and plead for her.
The old village chief was planning to plead for them, but then he thought that if they didn't learn a lesson this time, they might get into even greater trouble in the future, so he didn't say anything.
In the end, Old Lady Yang was also tied up and dragged over to be criticized along with her son.
Old Lady Yang was so frightened that she kept crying out for justice, but it was no use.
Xie Wentian also felt that the old woman was involved, at least she must have given Yang Laizi some advice.
Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, he wants to teach this old woman Yang a lesson so that she won't cause trouble for Xu Nanxing later.
Those who came here to watch the criticism and denunciation, except Xu Nanxing, all the other people who were sent down from the cowshed also had to come here.
Because Uncle Liu and Grandpa’s legs and feet were not very good, they did not come.
So the competition venue was already full of onlookers.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Xie Wentian officially began the process.
According to the process of criticism and denunciation, the people being criticized were first asked to confess their crimes one by one.
Let's start with Yang Laizi. He was quite self-conscious and spoke honestly, "I was wrong! I shouldn't have accepted Song Liandi's instigation, shouldn't have coveted Xu Zhiqing's money, and shouldn't have spread rumors and slandered Xu Zhiqing! It's all my fault!"
The mistake was admitted, but unfortunately it was all official rhetoric!
I didn't feel any sincerity at all.
Xu Nanxing had no reaction to Yang Laizi's words.
The next one was Song Liandi. "I admit my mistake! I shouldn't have told Yang Laizi what I knew about Xu Zhiqing. It gave him the wrong idea and he later went on to spread rumors and slander Xu Zhiqing."
After hearing this, Xu Nanxing rolled his eyes.
Not only is this insincere, but it also directly puts the blame on Yang Laizi.
Even at this point, he's still trying to clear himself!
Xie Wentian, however, wasn't about to let the other person off lightly. He said directly, "Song Liandi, you're greedy for other people's money, so you conspired with Yang Laizi to scheme against them! Are you still trying to completely shirk your responsibility?"
"I..." After her intentions were exposed by the police, Song Liandi was speechless for a moment.
Yang Laizi also took the opportunity to say, "That's right! It was indeed Song Liandi, that woman, who coveted Xu Zhiqing's money and instigated me to harm him! It's all her fault!"
Old Lady Yang also said, "It was this woman who wanted to harm others. My son was being used by her!"
Song Liandi angrily said, "What do you mean I'm using him? He clearly wants to harm people too! Yang Laizi is not a good person to begin with!"
"You little bitch! What are you talking about? Do you believe I will tear your mouth apart..."
Seeing that they were arguing again, Xie Wentian immediately shouted, "Enough!"
"Shut up!"
Only then did Yang Laizi and the others shut up and nodded.
Their mouths were closed, but they were still glaring at each other fiercely.
Xie Wentian immediately asked another police officer to read out the crimes of these people in public.
"Yang Laizi, from Shanghe Village, recently conspired with Song Liandi to steal the money of Xu Nanxing, an educated youth from the same village. They spread rumors throughout the village that she and Xu Nanxing had an improper relationship, and they hoped to use public opinion to force Xu Nanxing to marry Yang Laizi, so that Yang Laizi could achieve his goal of stealing Xu Nanxing's money."
"Song Liandi, a native of Lianshi, was an educated youth sent to Shanghe Village to work in the countryside. Knowing that Xu Nanxing was carrying a large amount of money, she became greedy and reached an agreement with Yang Laizi, a villager. They planned to have Yang Laizi forcibly marry Xu Nanxing to obtain his money, and then give a portion of it to Song Liandi."
"Wang Daya (Old Lady Yang), a native of Shanghe Village, learned of the plot by her son Yang Laizi and Song Liandi and helped to orchestrate it. She is an accomplice in this incident."
"These three people, out of greed for money, conspired to fabricate rumors and slander others, and were caught red-handed by our police. They are now being publicly criticized and denounced as a warning to everyone."
After the crime is announced, the key point comes next.
The police asked the villagers to come forward and criticize their crimes, especially their past wrong behaviors!
Wrong behavior!
There is so much to say about Yang Laizi's family!
Many families who had conflicts with the Yang family in the past are now speaking openly.
"This Yang Laizi is not a good guy. He once stole eggs from my house!"
"This kid stole a lot of the fruit from my peach tree!"
"I even saw Yang Laizi stop the daughter of the old Li family on the road! He scared her so much that she never dared to go that way again."
"Oh, yes! I've seen him teasing little girls while they were washing clothes by the river."
"And then there's Old Lady Yang. Her chickens came to eat my food. I asked her for an explanation, but she said I deserved it!"
Old Lady Yang was dissatisfied when she heard this and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that my chickens ate your food? I even said it was your chickens that stole my food! If you continue to talk nonsense and slander me, I will sue you!"
"Hey, you damned old woman! Your chickens are stealing food and other people's vegetables from their plots. Everyone in this village knows that! And you're accusing me of slandering you! Your son is the one who's slandering you!"
"That's right! Last time, Old Lady Yang's chickens ran into my private plot and ruined the vegetables. I went to her house to confront her, but she denied it and even accused me of blackmailing her!"
"Old Lady Yang, you're being denounced by the masses right now. Don't you look unconvinced? Don't you accept the masses' denunciation of you?"
These words were very serious, and Old Lady Yang was so frightened that she dared not say a word.
Now the others spoke even more enthusiastically.
Everyone present was talking about Yang Laizi and his mother, Yang Lao Pozi, mainly because their past behavior in the village was very disgusting.
A scoundrel who causes trouble everywhere and a person who likes to make a scene and take advantage of others are both annoying people.
Normally, the villagers would choose to keep quiet about these trivial matters, but now that they finally have the chance, they all want to talk about it.
In addition, because Song Liandi was an educated youth, she did not have much contact with the villagers. The educated youth did not say anything, and the villagers knew very little about Song Liandi's affairs, so there was nothing to say.
Even Xu Nanxing didn't run over to talk about Song Liandi.
After all, she came to watch the criticism just to enjoy the fun, and she didn't want others to watch her fun.
If Song Liandi doesn't learn her lesson this time and comes to trouble her again, she doesn't mind breaking her legs with her own hands.
So Xu Nanxing just watched the fun from below and did not participate.
Therefore, the whole place was filled with voices condemning Yang Laizi and his mother.
"Pah!"
I don't know who threw a piece of mud at Old Lady Yang's head, and her face was covered with mud.
Now some villagers also started throwing things at the three people!
