Chapter 23 Don’t Seek Death or You Won’t Die



Xu Guoqing entered the yard, threw the herbal angelica seeds on his back to the ground, walked quickly to the water tank, scooped a large bucket of water, drank it, and ran out.

Xu Laoliu raised his gray eyebrows and said, "Where are you going, you little bastard?"

"I heard that the person who injured the oxen has been caught. I'll go and take a look." Xu Guoqing replied.

Xu Laoliu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who did it?"

"I heard it was a new female educated youth named Li or something." Xu Guoqing scratched his head and thought.

Xu Laoliu stood up and asked, "Li Zhiqing? Is that the Li Zhiqing who saved the cow?"

"That's her."

Xu Laoliu walked over and grabbed his grandson, then asked, "How could it be her?"

"How should I know? I heard everyone talking about it on the way back. Shouldn't I be in a hurry to see it? Grandpa, stop nagging me. I have to go quickly. If I go too late, I won't be able to see the excitement." Xu Guoqing pushed his grandfather's hand away, turned around and ran away.

Xu Laoliu also wanted to go and see, but he couldn't leave. He had to watch over the cows, and the medicine was still boiling on the stove. He walked back and said to Xu Xiangyang, "Go and see what's going on."

"I'm not going. It's already noon. I have to go back. My uncle is still at home." Xu Xiangyang stood up, patted the medicine dust off his body, and left.

Xu Laoliu was so angry that he kept cursing, "You heartless wolf cub, can't you go and check for me? After all, he saved Lao Niu with you, and we have revolutionary friendship. How can you be so heartless?"

Xu Xiangyang ignored him, strode out of the yard and disappeared from his sight.

Old man Xu was so angry that he sat down on the stool and slapped his knees. He finally got a talented person, but now he was going to lose him.

In the production team committee office, the five-star red flag hung high in the middle of the yard fluttered in the wind.

In the office, Xu Guoqiang, his face flushed from a few drinks, looked at Zhao Xiaoli and asked, "You said it was the glass that Li Zhiqing threw into the field that injured the cow?"

"Yes." Zhao Xiaoli answered firmly.

Xu Guoqiang scratched his head irritably, "Where's the evidence?"

"This is the can found in Li Xiyue's package, and this is the glass fragment brought back from the field. It is made of the same material as the can." Xu Dawei took the things out and put them on the table.

He didn't expect that the person who saved the cow and the person who harmed the cow were the same person. He was originally grateful to Li Xiyue, but now he hated her. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been scolded by the team leader, nor would he have been kicked into the field and frozen for so long.

After comparing, Xu Guoqiang confirmed that the broken glass came from this kind of can, so he asked someone to go home and call Li Xiyue over.

The villager who went to call Li Xiyue was stopped by Grandma Yu and asked the truth. She said to Li Xiyue worriedly, "Yueyue, this is troublesome."

"It's not a problem, Grandma Yu. I didn't do it. I believe the captain will clear my name." Li Xiyue's face was calm.

Huang Xinrui then remembered Zhao Xiaoli's unusual behavior and told her what happened. She said with certainty, "She did it. She turned around and framed Yueyue."

"It's obvious that Zhao Zhiqing is a person with bad intentions. Yueyue, don't be afraid. I will go and talk to Guoqiang. He won't dare to disobey me." Grandma Yu said and was about to leave.

Li Xiyue held her back and said, "Grandma Yu, you and I have a good relationship, and you are the captain's family. No one will believe what you say."

"What should we do? We can't let people wrongly accuse you for no reason, right?" Sun Xia said anxiously.

Li Xiyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, black can't be white, and white can't be black."

If you don't seek death, you won't die. Since Zhao Xiaoli doesn't want to live a peaceful life, then let her have her wish!

After thinking for a while, she said to Sun Xia, "Auntie, please do me a favor..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this for you." Sun Xia patted her chest and promised.

Huang Xinrui said: "Yueyue, I'll go with you."

Li Xiyue shook her head, "No, go back to the dormitory, and then..."

When they arrived at the team committee office, there were already quite a few villagers standing inside watching the fun. When they saw Li Xiyue coming, they all started pointing and talking at her.

"She actually did it. I saw her saving the cow earlier and thought she was different from the other female educated youth. Now it seems they are all the same kind."

"Yes, she probably saved the cow because she was afraid someone would find out it was her who threw the glass into the field."

"You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. I misjudged her."

Li Xiyue’s principle of not commenting without knowing the full story is that other people are not like her. Most of them are ignorant people who believe everything they hear.

Li Xiyue was too lazy to explain to them and went straight into the office.

Xu Guoqiang, Xu Dawei, and the team committee cadres were all there.

Zhao Xiaoli stood beside Xu Dawei with a smug look on her face and cast a victorious glance at Li Xiyue.

Li Xiyue thought to herself, are you getting complacent already? The outcome is still undecided.

Without waiting for Xu Guoqiang to speak, Xu Dawei said angrily, "Li Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing reported you for deliberately throwing glass into the fields, injuring the oxen. We have all the witnesses and evidence. What do you have to say?"

Li Xiyue looked at the evidence on the table and saw that it was indeed her can and the broken glass from it, so she asked, "Who is the witness?"

"Of course it's me." Zhao Xiaoli raised her chin.

Li Xiyue asked calmly, "Excuse me, when did you see me throwing glass into the field?"

"Last night." Zhao Xiaoli had already prepared a plan in her mind: "Last night in the middle of the night, I got up to go to the toilet and found you were not there. You must have thrown the glass into the field at that time."

Li Xiyue was indeed not at home last night, but she knew that Zhao Xiaoli did not get up to go to the bathroom at all.

And the glass was not thrown into the field last night, but this morning.

When she and Huang Xinrui followed Wang Jiaxing to find Xu Guoqiang, Zhao Xiaoli stole her canned food and threw it into the field.
