Two days later, the Public Security Bureau sent several police officers here.
"In response to Wang Jinhua's actions of promoting feudal superstition in the village, harming the villagers, and reversing history, we are now conducting a village-wide inspection and will not let any accomplice go!"
The villagers were in a panic, afraid that this incident would happen to them.
On weekdays, there are actually quite a few old men and women with conservative ideas. Taking advantage of the fact that the trend of old-fashioned things has not been so serious in the past two years, they stay at home and practice superstition.
We didn’t expect the police to come, and everyone was scared.
Some even couldn't help but sneak back home to clean up the mess.
The police also began to visit various places, trying to catch the fortune-tellers who pretended to be ghosts.
When several women in the village were making clothes together, Aunt Zhou next to them couldn't help but gossip with everyone: "Do you know, I heard that when they first arrested Old Lady Lu, the police saw that she was old and deliberately let her go.
As a result, she cried, made a scene, and cursed at the police station, cursing the Public Security Bureau leaders for eighteen generations. They had no other choice but to lock her up.
Everyone was amused and surprised when they heard this: "How dare she? She's so arrogant in the village, and she thinks she'll have someone to back her up even when she's in police station?"
Gu Qingning was not surprised at all.
"Although she wanted to harm me and the baby in my belly, she didn't really succeed after all. If she hadn't been so suicidal, she would have been released in just a few days and wouldn't be like this now."
Aunt Zhou slapped her thigh. "Isn't it? If you piss off the police, they'll have no choice but to handle the case impartially. They didn't know until they asked, and they were shocked to discover that Old Lady Lu had done many evil things, and had secretly consulted many fortune-tellers before, causing harm to many people."
Although Old Lady Lu is used to being domineering in the village, she is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.
It was no big deal to scare an old rural woman who had never been to school and was blind. She would tell the whole story in a flash, just like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
The public security officers took the trouble to come here specifically to investigate this matter.
"It was cleared out years ago. I thought it was completely eradicated. Why are there so many fraudulent fortune-tellers popping up again?"
Gu Qingning sighed and said, "As long as the village lags behind and no one develops, and everyone has little money, this kind of thing will never stop."
Only when everyone becomes prosperous, and more and more children go to school and receive education to change their destiny, can we completely reverse the backward reality and thinking here.
As she was speaking, the sharp-eyed Aunt Zhou pointed at the person at the door and shouted, "Stop peeking in here! Yang Songhua, what do you want to do?"
Yang Songhua was startled and wanted to run away, but she had to smile and say, "I just came to see what you guys are doing, and I also want to make some clothes to earn some money to supplement the family income."
Aunt Li sneered, "Hey, didn't you look down on us before, saying we were destined to lose money and ruin the family? How come you have the nerve to come here again now?"
Aunt Zhou also smiled and said, "You are usually close to Old Lady Lu. Now that she is in, why don't you go and see her?"
Yang Songhua immediately raised her voice unnaturally: "Who is close to her? I have nothing to do with her, let alone anything that would harm others!"
"Don't be so stubborn. The police are here. They'll know if you did it or not once they investigate!"
Yang Songhua was anxious and angry, and walked away cursing.
What bad luck.
She asked Old Lady Lu for money but failed to get it, and ended up getting into trouble!
Maybe that little bitch Gu Qingning also thinks that since I am so close to Old Lady Lu, I might suspect that I also played a role in harming her?
It seems that I have to avoid this woman from now on.
There was unrest in the village, and Chen Jing also heard the news.
Her face suddenly turned ugly.
"Lu Weiguo, what's wrong with your mother? It's fine that she can't help you get into the city, but now she's messing around with all this nonsense. It will affect your status when the time comes. I wonder how you'll ever get into the city!"
Chen Jing couldn't help but grit her teeth.
If you really want to harm Gu Qingning, why not just poison her directly? Why do you have to use these brainless methods?
Not only did he use it, but nothing happened to the other person. Instead, he got himself sent to jail!
Lu Weiguo felt a little angry and embarrassed after being scolded by her.
His mother was not nice, but it was not her turn, Chen Jing, to scold him!
However, when he heard that it affected his future and that he might not be able to enter the city, he became anxious again: "Xiao Jing, could you please find our parents?"
Chen Jing was extremely annoyed: "Your mother did such a stupid thing herself, and she even implicated my parents? Lu Weiguo, you didn't get your brain eaten by a dog, did you?"
Lu Weiguo's face turned green, and he smiled apologetically, "Then isn't it because I'm considering our future?"
"When we get married, we'll definitely have children. If the child's grandmother becomes a prisoner, wouldn't that affect our child's future?"
Chen Jing's expression eased slightly. "I'll tell my dad about this. Stay out of it! When your mom gets out, keep a close eye on her and don't let her come out and embarrass herself!"
The police investigated for several days before they found the witch in the next village and successfully arrested her.
“Ding ding.”
The arrival of a car was like pouring two drops of water into hot oil, and the village, which had just calmed down, became boiling again.
"Oh my god, why is there a car? Could it be that some leader has come to inspect this remote place?"
"What's there to investigate in this shabby place? The big boss is all over the place, why would he come here?"
A group of village women and children surrounded the car, chattering and making a lively scene.
A woman wearing high-heeled leather shoes, with her hair tied up and in a pure white suit got out of the car. Her outfit was very trendy, and she looked like a returned overseas Chinese.
"Excuse me, fellow villager, how can I get to the Lu family?"
The woman's voice was so sweet that it made people feel numb inside.
"Turn around, it's the first one in front."
Yang Songhua happened to appear at the entrance of the village at this time. When he saw this noble man, his eyes widened and he quickly and bravely pointed the way.
"Thank you very much."
The car sped away, leaving the people behind in awe.
"Look at her demeanor. She must be the wife of a leader! She speaks and acts differently from us country folk. She's so polite to us peasants."
"The leader's wife is so young, she looks only in her twenties."
"Could it be a big shot from Beijing?"
"Beijing? Then the Lu family will be prosperous."
The Lu family relied on their connections in Beijing to become the most prominent figures in the village.
Now that this big shot has come to see them, everyone is starting to panic again.
