Xu Guoqiang also took the sweet potato to check, then pointed at Liu Hongshao, "Why did you do this?"
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me..." Liu Hongshao kept shaking her head in denial.
Xu Weimin noticed his three nephews' unusual expressions and asked, "Did you do it?"
The three Liu brothers hung their heads, not daring to look at anyone.
They hadn't expected that Wang Lao Er hadn't finished his sweet potato, leaving half of it. Now that they had all the evidence, they couldn't deny it.
The three brothers secretly regretted their actions, thinking that if they had known it would end like this, they shouldn't have had the intention to harm others.
Everyone understood immediately.
Liu Jianshe stepped forward and slapped his eldest son across the face. "You lot actually tried to harm your sister?"
"No, we don't want to harm my little sister..." Liu Honghe almost blurted out, but Liu Hongjiang stopped him in time.
Liu Hongjiang said, "It was a misunderstanding. We were preparing those sweet potatoes with medicine to go hunting in the mountains, but we didn't expect to take the wrong ones..."
Wang Lao Er didn't believe his nonsense. "You just drugged me on purpose!"
The three Liu brothers certainly didn't want to go to jail, and insisted that they had taken the wrong thing. If people found out that they had tried to harm Li Xiyue but ended up harming their own sister instead, things would only get worse.
Wang Lao Er wasn't having any of it and wouldn't let it go, saying, "I'm going to call the police!"
The brigade leaders, of course, would not agree to report it to the police.
Xu Yongshun once again used his favorite saying, "As long as you don't report it to the police, everything is negotiable."
Wang Lao Er said, "I don't have to report it to the police. I'll just let the Liu family marry Liu Hongshao to me and give me fifty yuan in compensation."
"You wish!" Liu Jianshe jumped up and down in anger.
This beast defiled his daughter and still wants to gain both her and his money—what a pipe dream!
Wang Lao Er acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, saying, "If you don't agree, I'll report you to the police. Then the whole of Nan Province will know that Liu Hongshao lost her virginity to me. She'll never be able to get married in her life and will be despised and cursed by the world. As for your three sons, they'll have to go to jail too!"
As if his vital point had been seized, Liu Jianshe was powerless to fight back.
In the end, for the sake of his children's reputation, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and compromise.
Wang Lao Er took the fifty yuan, humming a little tune, and walked away.
When Liu Hongshao heard that she was to marry Wang Lao Er, she was so angry that she fainted on the spot.
The three brothers, who had escaped legal punishment, were suffering from unbearable pain and itching all over their bodies. They took them to Uncle Xu's house, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. So they took them to the clinic, but they couldn't find the cause either.
The three brothers couldn't resist scratching themselves until their faces and bodies were raw and bloody, which was quite frightening.
Many people say they were punished for their actions; those who intended to harm others ultimately harmed themselves.
The village elders used this incident to educate the younger generation in their families, telling them not to do anything malicious or harmful, or they would suffer retribution sooner or later.
As a result, the Red Sun Production Team maintained a stable order for a long time, and even petty theft decreased significantly.
When the news reached Li Xiyue, she was already packing her things to return to the village. The rescue work was coming to an end, the rescue station was about to be dismantled, and it was time for her to return to Xujia Village.
Chu Xun also received the news and came to Li Xiyue to ask, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
His intuition told him that this matter was very likely related to Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue shook her head. "No."
No one saw her go to Liujia Village that day, and even if the Liu siblings were stupid, they wouldn't dare to say it, so her hands were clean.
Chu Xun saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't press her further.
"Then you must remember to tell me if anything happens, and don't try to be brave."
He couldn't rest easy until he uncovered the mastermind behind the enemy spy in her life.
Li Xiyue nodded with a smile.
"Li, this is the subsidy issued by the county." Before leaving, Guan Tao handed Li Xiyue an envelope.
