“I can testify that it was Xue, the educated youth, who beat up Xu and the other two.” Li Xiyue lied through her teeth. “When I came over after hearing the noise next door, Xue was pinning Xu and the other two to the ground and beating them.”
She pointed to a stool next to her and said, "It was this stool that Xue, the educated youth, hit Zhou, the educated youth, on the head. Xue seemed to have gone mad; she was incredibly strong. It took Zhou and me working together to pull her away."
"Yes, when I pulled her away, she scratched me. Captain, Party Secretary, look, there are still her fingernail marks on my face."
The two men, working together, proved that Xue Minmo's crimes were unfounded.
Xu Guoqiang leaned over to take a look and indeed saw several red, swollen marks. He immediately pointed at Xue Min and angrily said, "You stole things and beat people up, and you dare to accuse me first?"
"That's not how it is! It was clearly the three of them who attacked me!" Xue Min pointed at Li Xiyue and Zhou Yunze, gritting her teeth. "You're framing me!"
Xu Shanshan continued crying, "Ever since Xue and Tian came, they have been finding all sorts of ways to bully me. Originally, the three of us were supposed to be in a group to handle the work, but they did nothing and dumped it all on me. They also often stole my food and ordered me to wash their clothes. If I didn't comply, Xue would threaten me, saying that her cousin, who was the deputy team leader, would assign me the dirtiest and smelliest work."
"I was scared and didn't want to cause trouble, so I kept enduring it. I never expected Xue Zhiqing to go so far, and today she actually attacked me..."
After she finished speaking, she buried her head in her knees and sobbed, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Only Li Xiyue could tell that she was actually trying hard to suppress her laughter.
Zhou Yunze said, "What Xue Zhiqing said is all true, and we can all testify to it."
Huang Xinrui and Zhou Yunxia both nodded in agreement.
Xu Dawei tried to speak up for his cousin: "Captain, maybe there's some misunderstanding here?"
“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding that she doesn’t work? Or is it a misunderstanding that she ordered Xu Zhiqing to wash her clothes? Or is it a misunderstanding that she stole something?” Xu Guoqiang asked in a series of questions, his eyes sharp. “I didn’t know that you, as the deputy captain, had so much power that even your cousin could use your name to swagger around and bully others.”
This is a blatant accusation that he abused his power.
Xu Dawei's face turned pale instantly. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't utter a single word.
The old man, Xu Yongshun, looked at Xue Min with displeasure and said, "With so many people pointing the finger at you, it's impossible that everyone is framing you, right?"
Even if everyone gangs up on her to frame her, it's her problem. She must have done something to anger everyone, which is why they're all united against her.
"They framed me together!" Xue Min shouted, still unwilling to accept it. "The injuries on my body were inflicted by them, and that's the best proof!"
Huang Xinrui said, "You hit us, we can't just stand there and let you hit us. We are acting in self-defense."
“Yes, we tried to break up the fight, but you hit us. We fought back because we didn’t want to be hit. Was that wrong?” Zhou Yunxia rolled her eyes again after saying that. “Brother, I feel so dizzy. Am I going to die?”
Zhou Yunze scolded, "Xiaoxia, don't talk nonsense."
If you're just acting, why curse yourself like that?
Enraged, Xue Min shouted, "You're talking nonsense! You've all conspired to harm me! I'll beat you to death!"
"Enough!" Xu Guoqiang shouted angrily.
Xue Min flinched in fright, not daring to make a move.
“Xue, you’re so arrogant in front of us cadres. Who knows what you’re like in private! You’re all educated youth who came to the countryside together. What gives you the right to order others around? What gives you the right not to work? Who are you trying to impress with your landlord-like behavior?”
"Since you don't want to work at the educated youth settlement, then you don't have to do it anymore. Move to the pigsty!"
After Xu Guoqiang finished speaking, he turned to Xu Dawei and said, "She's only so arrogant because she's relying on your power. You don't need to be the deputy captain anymore!"
Oh wow!
