"you……!!!"
Ji Lanying was so angry at Peng Aiping's words that her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. She was not good at words and rarely quarreled with people in the village. How could she be more noisy than Peng Aiping?
Everyone in the village also knew that even if Ji Lanying died of starvation, she would never do anything sneaky, so they all stood up to defend Ji Lanying and said:
"Peng Aiping, don't go too far! Did you go to cut the leeks at Sister Lanying's house? You know it yourself, but if you rake them now, won't your conscience hurt?"
"Sister Lanying has been in trouble in the past few years. As a neighbor in the village, it's okay if you don't help. You obviously did something wrong, but you still mock her like this. Can you sleep at night?"
"Hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and expose someone without exposing someone's shortcomings. Everyone in the village knows that Sister Lanying's face is the sequelae of her Huaiyi child. It only shows that she is great. Now that you are talking about it, I'm really embarrassed for you. .”
"..."
Ji Lanying listened to everyone's words to defend herself. She was used to being strong. Thinking about all the misery she had suffered over the years, her defenses broke down in an instant and she couldn't help but sob softly.
Peng Aiping's cheeks turned red due to everyone's chatter, and her eyes were full of fierceness.
She never expected that Ji Lanying would be so popular in the village. There are people who usually criticize her, but why doesn't anyone come forward at this time?
Although she was extremely angry, she didn't dare to look at everyone like this, so she could only stare at Ji Lanying fiercely, as if she wanted to tear her alive.
"Everyone of you said good things to her, isn't it because you all took her food and didn't pay for it? You all like to take advantage of her, so why are you acting like a bodhisattva here?" Peng Aiping couldn't bear it and shouted at everyone. He stamped his feet and cursed.
"You...you are really..." Someone was so retorted by Peng Aiping that he ran out of words on the spot.
But some people immediately retorted with clear thinking: "We did take vegetables from Sister Lanying's garden, but when we had vegetables and fruits, we also brought them to Sister Lanying, unlike some people who clearly took the roots. Cut someone else's leeks and still refuse to admit it."
"I spoil you all the time because I'm too lazy to argue with you. Do you really think that you are the Supreme Emperor and everyone has to obey you?"
"That's right, a car that costs tens of thousands of yuan is still financed by a mortgage. But my son bought it with hundreds of thousands of dollars in full, and it came from the same village. Why are you pretending to be your mother here?"
Several voices rushed over at once, scolding Peng Aiping until she was out of breath and had smoke coming out from her orifices.
"Okay, okay! You all speak up for her, right? I didn't want to pursue it at first, but if she doesn't tell me clearly about the sickle today, I will report it to the official!" Peng Aiping stamped her feet, pointed at Ji Lanying and scolded her. road.
Rural people still have the same old thinking. They obviously want to call the police, but they are still used to calling the police.
"If you report to the official, please report to the official. I want to see if you can still say that black is white?" Ji Lanying said directly, not afraid of the shadow.
"No, you can't report to the official!" Someone soon reminded Ji Lanying in a low voice: "Sister Lanying, there are people in his family in the bureau. If you report to the official, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone remembered that Luo Qiguo's cousin, her cousin Peng Aiping, was working in the bureau. If it really gets into trouble, Ji Lanying will definitely suffer.
"Why, are you scared?" Peng Aiping snorted coldly, and then said arrogantly: "If you are scared, just admit that you are a thief. I, sir, have a lot of money, so let this matter be a thing of the past."
"Who knows who the thief is. I was just here to return the sickle to you, and by the way, I told you not to cut the leeks by the roots. I didn't expect you to curse me and curse me in all kinds of ways. It's really chilling."
Ji Lanying's eyes were filled with tears and she sobbed in a low voice. After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Peng Aiping with firm eyes: "You will report it to the official or not. If you don't report it, I will report it!"
Faced with Ji Lanying's sudden strength, Peng Aiping was stunned.
Although she had someone in the bureau, she also knew that with so many witnesses, it would be difficult for her cousin to favor her.
What's more, apart from the leeks she cut, some of which she asked her son to give to Murao's troops, she also kept some for herself.
When the time comes, all he needs to do is go to Ji Lanying's vegetable garden and have a pair, and that will be ironclad proof.
Even though she has some form of favoritism, it is estimated that she will get 50 points each by then, and she will not get any benefits at all.
So she didn't really want to report to the official, she just wanted to scare Ji Lanying and make her give up. However, she didn't expect that she, who had always been aloof from the world, would be so insistent on this matter.
Just when she was in a dilemma, a powerful voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd: "What happened? Why are you still clamoring to file a report?"
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked back, and then saw a middle-aged regular soldier with a quarter on his shoulder, frowning at them.
Everyone knows this man, he is the deputy commander of the troops stationed here, named Qiu Bing.
Although they have not been here for a long time, everyone in the village knows that this is a guy who loves petty gains.
Although he neither steals nor robs, he accepts all the things given by the villagers and others don't want them. Sometimes he even hints to the people that he needs something.
Everyone was quite enthusiastic about him at the beginning, but within a week, they slowly faded away. Only Peng Aiping's family is still close to him.
In this scene, Luo Qiguo is standing next to him, looking like his personal secretary.
As soon as Peng Aiping saw Qiu Bing, she immediately got into a dramatic mood and rushed towards her son, crying, even shouting: "Son, someone wrongly accused your mother of being a thief. I can't survive this day. I'm going to drown myself in the river." Forget it!”
"Who?! Who dares to say that my mother is a thief?" Luo Qiguo supported Peng Aiping and looked at everyone with wide eyes and angrily.
"Who else could it be besides your Aunt Ji? It was obvious that she stole our sickle, but she came back and said I was a thief. What happened to this world? Why did black become white and white become black?"
Peng Aiping cried heartbreakingly, as if she had really been wronged.
Luo Qiguo didn't know the whole story and only believed his mother's words. He immediately said to Ji Lanying: "Aunt Ji, how could you do this? If you are short of a sickle, just say it and I will give you one. Isn't that the end of it? As for you, you still bite back. One mouthful to frame my mother?"
"I didn't, it's obviously her..." Ji Lanying was so anxious that she didn't know how to organize her words. Finally, Luo Meiyu, who was standing aside, said:
"Eldest nephew, you can't say that! It was clearly your mother who stole the leeks from Sister Lanying's house and left the sickle in her field.
Sister Lanying ignored the previous grudges and came over to deliver the knife, reminding your mother not to cut the leeks all at the root. It would have been better for your mother to rake the leeks directly, unjustly accusing Sister Lanying of being a thief.
You didn't even ask clearly, so you just blamed your Aunt Ji. It's true that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. The sons born from mice can dig holes. "
In three simple sentences, the whole story was explained clearly, but Luo Qiguo didn't believe it at all, and directly scolded: "Fart, I grow leeks myself, do I need to go to her house to cut them?"
After saying that, Luo Qiguo said to Qiu Bing beside him: "Captain Qiu, please put an end to this matter. You can't let the bad guys chill my mother's heart."
After saying that, he whispered in Qiu Bing's ear: "She is the scumbag I told you about. She is probably a destitute."
After hearing this, Qiu Bing felt confident.
Since he is a homeless person, he can't just control it at will, so he can do whatever he wants.
He was originally a well-connected person, and he was promoted to 21 cents by relying on his connections. He originally wanted to live in a big city, but his grandfather arranged for him to live in a place where there is no shit.
Whenever he asked his grandfather why he did this, his grandfather always said that he had arranged a great deal for him. He also said that as long as the task was completed, even special promotion would not be a problem.
But grandpa didn't say what the mission was, he just said that it was enough to maintain the stability of Panlong Village, and don't worry about other things, and don't ask too many questions.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bing immediately didn't believe that this was a great good thing. He probably just came to train with the company, so he didn't take it seriously.
It's just that the food here is so bad that he had to cook a small meal for himself. After going back and forth, he hooked up with Luo Qiguo.
No, Luo Qiguo had just sent him leeks and eggs. He could add some fried eggs and leeks as a snack in the evening, along with some wine. It was perfect.
There was no wine in the army, so he followed Luo Qiguo to his house to get wine, and this happened.
He was always soft-spoken, and since the other party was a poor man, he had no worries at all and could just support Luo Qiguo with all his strength.
"Why did you steal his sickle?" Qiu Bing came from a big city after all. With just one sentence, Ji Lanying's nature was determined.
