When Xu Wantang heard what Ma Jinhua said, his almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief, and he blinked twice seemingly at a loss.
"Hey! Sister-in-law, are you trying to cheat?"
Lu Yunzheng saw her vivid expression in his eyes, and it was so rare that he couldn't believe it.
How come some people are so cute when they talk sarcastically to others? I wish I could wrap them up in my arms and feel the pain.
But he knew he didn't deserve it.
Lu Yunzheng's eyes dimmed, with regret and self-mockery in his eyes.
Hearing what Xu Wantang said, Ma Jinhua blushed and subconsciously retorted, "Who is acting rogue?"
Xu Wantang clicked his tongue and said impatiently, "Sister-in-law doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying. What I just said was very clear!"
Xu Wantang spoke clearly and clearly, "You, Ma Jinhua, are acting like a rogue. Is it clear enough?"
Without giving Ma Jinhua a chance to speak, Xu Wantang said, "You first spread rumors about me and Lu Yunzheng in front of everyone. We agreed at the time that if we were innocent, you would use the loudspeaker of the village radio station to apologize to me. Now you If you regret it and bite us back, what else is it if you don't act like a rogue?"
Many people who were watching the excitement at the bulletin board were also present a few days ago, and they all spoke for Xu Wantang.
"I was present at the time. Comrade Xu said that we should all be witnesses. Ma Jinhua, we have all heard what you promised Comrade Xu!"
"Yeah, it's useless for you to act rogue, we have so many pairs of eyes staring at you."
"That's right, you did something wrong in the first place, so you should apologize to Commander Lu and Comrade Xu."
Luo Xiaojuan also joined in the booing, "No way? No one is so thick-skinned, right? He's as thick-skinned as a city wall. I've learned a lot today."
Luo Xiaojuan turned to Xu Wantang and said, "Sister, it's okay. If she doesn't apologize, just go to the police or report it to Political Commissar Shen. There are so many people here who can testify for you!"
When Ma Jinhua heard this, she almost didn't think about it and said immediately, "I apologize!"
Then, she lowered her head and whispered, "Can't I apologize?"
After saying that, Ma Jinhua pushed aside the crowd and ran away without looking back.
Xu Wantang looked at her back and reminded her loudly, "Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, the village committee will see me. Don't be late!"
Ma Jinhua was already walking in a hurry, her legs pumping very fast. After hearing Xu Wantang's words, she lowered her head and walked even faster.
Someone didn't pay attention and stepped on a stone under his feet. His feet slipped and he almost fell over. He finally managed to stabilize his body.
When the onlookers saw Ma Jinhua's appearance, many of them couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Xu Wantang thanked everyone, and the group came out of the family courtyard and went to Xie Waziang's house.
It was not difficult to find Xie Wajiang's home. After asking a few villagers, I successfully found Xie Wajiang's home.
Xie Waziang's house is very grand, with a large brick-red tile house, which is more elegant than the house in the family courtyard. It can be seen that Xie Waziang has made a lot of money.
Several people knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
Without knocking out Mr. Xie or Mr. Xie, the neighbors heard it and stretched their heads to tell them that Mr. Xie was at work and Mr. Xie should be at home.
The neighbor had obviously had a long-standing grudge against the Xie family and his son, and he said a lot of bad things about Xie Laoer, including teasing the widow at the east end of the village in the street a few days ago!
Xu Wantang was heartbroken. Xie Laoer not only acted like a coward, but also continued his previous hooligan behavior without repentance.
It's simply too much!
Regarding Xie Laoer's matter, Xu Wantang originally wanted to call the police.
But Xu Wantang knew the consequences for those who were now convicted of hooliganism. Xu Wantang still had some compassion, thinking that if Xie Laoer apologized and showed repentance, she would let Xie Laoer go.
But now it seems that people like Xie Laoer are not worthy of sympathy at all.
If she didn't call the police today, not only would she feel sorry for herself who was frightened when Xie Laoer acted like a gangster, but there might also be more women in the future who would not dare to speak out when they were harassed by people like Xie Laoer for fear of damaging their reputation.
Xu Wantang pursed her lips and made up her mind to go to the Public Security Bureau.
These days, gangsters are severely punished. The police comrades paid great attention to Xu Wantang's affairs and conducted a visit and investigation that day.
They say it’s hard to get started.
As soon as Xu Wantang started this matter, two women who had been silenced by the Xie family and dared not speak out came forward and accused Xie Laoer together.
Xu Wantang admired this very much.
Today, in the 1980s, ideas are not as open as those of later generations.
Many people live in prejudice. If a man and a woman have an affair, the man can get away with it happily after a while, but the woman will have to bear the burden of "unruly women".
These two women stood up to accuse Xie Laoer under huge pressure. They must have been unbearable and spent all their courage to bring down Xie Laoer despite the rumors.
How could Xu Wantang not be moved?
Fortunately, this matter went smoothly and the comrades from the Public Security Bureau handled the case quickly.
One person may have made a false accusation, but three people are almost sure of it. Especially the women who accused Xie Laoer were not familiar with each other and had no grudges. This further confirmed Xie Laoer's hooligan behavior.
That night, Xie Laoer was arrested and taken to the Public Security Bureau for investigation.
As soon as this incident came out, all the villagers with daughters nearby became happy.
Because of the existence of this demon king, everyone, whether they were young girls, newly married young wives, or widows, were so frightened that they did not dare to go out alone as soon as it got dark.
Now it's better, the Demon King has been caught, and people can feel relieved.
On the night when Xie Laoer was arrested and taken to the Public Security Bureau, Xu Wantang and several women who were bullied by Xie Laoer were present.
One of the young widows who was almost insulted by Xie Laoer saw that Xie Laoer was taken away by the police. The emotions she had suppressed for a long time were finally released and she cried.
The cry was extremely sad, and seemed to carry the hope of clearing the clouds and seeing the future.
Xu Wantang's eyes were red after hearing this, and he wanted to wipe her tears, but found that he didn't have a handkerchief in his pocket.
Suddenly, a familiar dark handkerchief was handed to Xu Wantang.
Xu Wantang looked up and saw Lu Yunzheng holding up a handkerchief. Seeing her looking over, he raised his heroic eyebrows.
The moment the two people's eyes met, Xu Wantang felt that Lu Yunzheng seemed to understand her completely, and he could even guess what she wanted to do.
Xu Wantang took the handkerchief, nodded to Lu Yunzheng, and then handed the handkerchief to the crying man.
"Thank you..." The man sobbed and thanked in a low voice.
"What's there to cry about? If she didn't show off, how could people come to her? Is she such a sweetheart? Why doesn't anyone come to bully me?"
A female voice sounded from the crowd.
