Chen Yu and Xu Guoqiang brought the people from Wangjia Village back to Xujia Village and arranged for them to be placed in the homes of the villagers in batches. The extra people were placed in the reception room next to the team committee office.
Each production brigade has a reception room for visiting leaders who come to inspect and tour the area. The room is not big, just two or three rooms.
Li Xiyue went home, changed into clean clothes, and then released Xiaobai when no one was around.
When they returned to the team committee office, they found that the cadres and Uncle Liu were not there. Just as they were about to ask where they were, Xu Dawei rushed over and said, "Li Zhiqing, the brigade leader and the branch secretary want you to go to the accountant's house."
"Is something the matter?" Li Xiyue guessed that it must be about Liu Hongshao falling into the water.
Xu Dawei's expression wasn't good. "You'll find out when you get there."
We followed Xu Dawei to Xu Weimin's house, which was noisy inside. The brigade cadres, Uncle Xu Liu, and Xu Xiangyang were all there.
It turned out that Liu Hongshao, who had been rescued by Wang Lao Er, had woken up. Everyone saw Wang Lao Er carry her back, and many people pointed and whispered, saying that she had been touched and carried by Wang Lao Er and was no longer innocent.
There's only one way now: marry Wang Lao Er.
Liu Hongshao refused. In order to get rid of Wang Laoer, she accused him of being a hooligan and threatened to report him to the police for arrest.
Wang Lao Er was a shameless man, so he went all out and told everyone that he had touched Liu Hongshao all over when he rescued her, and that Xu Weimin should marry Liu Hongshao to him, otherwise no man would want Liu Hongshao in his life.
Liu Hongshao declared that she would rather die than marry Wang Lao Er.
During their argument, Liu Hongshao dragged Li Xiyue into the conversation, claiming that Li Xiyue had pulled her into the water, which led to Wang Lao Er taking advantage of her.
So the officials called Li Xiyue over for a confrontation.
Liu Hongshao, who was crying her heart out, saw Li Xiyue arrive and her resentment surged up instantly. She pointed at Li Xiyue, her eyes bloodshot, "Is this the bitch who dragged me into the flood?"
"I don't understand what you're saying." Li Xiyue looked innocent. "You deliberately pushed me from behind, causing me to fall into the water. Grandma Liu and Aunt Lanhua both saw it."
Among the onlookers were Grandma Liu and Su Lanhua, who both came forward to testify, "Yes, we saw that it was Hongshao who pushed Li Zhiqing."
Liu Hongshao retorted, "I didn't push her on purpose. I just lost my balance and accidentally pushed her. She actually retaliated by dragging me into the water to drown me. Li Xiyue, how cruel you are!"
If Li Xiyue hadn't dragged her into the water, she wouldn't have been swept away by the flood, nor would she have been entangled with Wang Lao Er, that ugly, old, disgusting man.
It's all Li Xiyue's fault!
“You pushed me into the water, and I was swept away by the flood. If I hadn’t grabbed a tree, I would have died in the water long ago. How could I have pulled you into the water?” Li Xiyue retorted.
Hearing this, Xu Xiangyang clenched his fists. How dare Liu Hongshao push Li Xiyue into the water in broad daylight?
Su Lanhua said, "Aunt Liu and I both saw that Sweet Potato Girl was swept away by the flood, it has nothing to do with Li Zhiqing."
"Yes, Li, the educated youth, came back from the lower reaches of the river. There's no way he could have dragged Sweet Potato Girl into the water," Grandma Liu added.
"You believe her but not me?" Liu Hongshao was furious, pointing at Li Xiyue and accusing her, "She's faking it all, she's a vicious woman, you've all been fooled by her!"
Li Xiyue's expression turned cold. "Liu Hongshao, you pushed me into this mess, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, but you're turning around and framing me. You want to report me to the police? Go ahead and do it. I'll just ask the police to uphold justice for me."
Xu Yongshun came over and advised, "Li Zhiqing, the brigade cadres are all here, they will definitely stand up for you."
“Yes, Li Zhiqing, our team committee members will never let you suffer any injustice,” Xu Guoqiang said.
Li Xiyue looked dejected. "I don't know what I did to offend Comrade Liu Hongshao. She actually wants to kill me. It seems I can't stay here anymore. Team leader, you should transfer me to another production team."
“How can that be?” Xu Guoqiang absolutely disagreed.
Li Xiyue has been commended by the county twice. She is a skilled doctor and a sensible person, and she has brought a lot of benefits to the team.
