Chapter 25: The Truth Revealed
And after Zhou Lan went through the panic just now, she forced herself to calm down, and suddenly thought of a way.
Two lines of tears instantly fell on her cheeks, and she struggled: "No, I was wronged." This is the potion that I asked others to cure everyone's bamboo insect poison, if you don't believe it, you can try it! ”
Zhou Lan burst into tears when she spoke, and even Uncle Chen's face was moved.
Ye Xiaoying only hated why she didn't seal her mouth just now, saving her the wicked person from suing first, but now it's still like this, she can only try her best to make everyone believe her words.
"But why did you sneak up here? Isn't it because of a weak heart? Ladies and gentlemen, the evidence is conclusive, what are you still struggling with? ”
And Zhou Lan saw that everyone was biased towards Ye Xiaoying again, and began to argue loudly again.
"I thought that the well water might be poisoned during the day today, so I deliberately asked for an antidote, but I didn't want to be poisoned myself!"
Everyone watched, although they all believed Ye Xiaoying in their hearts, but if there was no conclusive evidence, if they directly arrested Zhou Lan, they would have to bear the lawsuit!
In the end, there was really no way, Ye Xiaoying thought of another way, she looked at everyone and proposed: "Why don't we go to Zhou Lan's house to find out if there is anything suspicious, if there is, all this will come to light, if not, then I am willing to take all the responsibility." ”
Ye Xiaoying's words were loud and sound, and they smashed into Zhou Lan's heart word by word.
The original righteousness turned into disbelief in an instant, Zhou Lan hurriedly shook her head and said sharply: "I live alone, you search the house for me again, how can I live!" ”
Zhou Lan tried her best to quibble, but as long as she was a discerning person, she could see that what Ye Xiaoying said was the most appropriate way.
Ye Xiaoying ignored her, but still according to everyone's wishes, took the two of them into Zhou Lan's house together, and walked out with poison in her hand within half a pillar of incense.
Zhou Lan couldn't argue, the arsenic was indeed found in her home, and everyone in the village also saw it, and those who were sick hated her to the core.
The arsenic entered the water and was drunk into their stomachs, they thought it was a bamboo worm, vomiting and diarrhea, and it was like losing their lives, and they also wronged Ye Xiaoying, who was working for their welfare, and the villagers felt very guilty for a while.
After the truth was revealed, Ye Xiaoying regained the favor of the villagers, as for Zhou Lan, because she sincerely aroused everyone's sympathy because of her sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes, she was not sent to the yamen, but she was put back after a serious warning.
The villagers accepted bamboo insects again to satisfy their men and children's hunger, and the people in the village often gave the finished bamboo insects to Ye Xiaoying to taste, so that she could also taste her own craftsmanship.
Ye Xiaoying's popularity in the village is getting better and better, and those eldest ladies think about her when they have good things.
On the contrary, Zhou Lan's life in the village is about to be unbearable.
Originally, there were many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, not to mention that Zhou Lan actually put arsenic to harm them, such a person, any of them had to take a sip when they saw it.
Bah! It's really vicious.
So Zhou Lan has been cautious since the arsenic incident was discovered.
At first, it was okay, the people in the village only saw her as if they didn't see her, and rolled their eyes at her, Zhou Lan was thick-skinned, and these didn't matter to her at all, but later, the people in the village looked at her more and more unpleasantly, and one night someone secretly poured their own feces at the door of her house......
The next morning, as soon as Zhou Lan opened the door, she smelled a foul smell, and when she looked at it again, the door of her house was full of disgusting feces!
How could she have suffered such a grievance? The angry crossed his waist and stood at the door and scolded.
Unexpectedly, those children passing by actually threw mud at her, and the villagers even laughed when they saw it, without the slightest intention of stopping her.
Zhou Lan wanted to have a seizure, but what she did a few days ago made the people in the village eat her heart, she didn't dare to do it too annoyingly, so she had to suffer this stuffy loss, looked at the mud on her skirt, stomped her foot, and went to the door.
Zhou Lan can still tolerate these things, but she didn't care much about those people she had befriended before.
Sometimes the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in the village go to the stream to do laundry together, and no one cares about Zhou Lan anymore, and they stay away from her one by one......
This morning, Zhou Lan went to wash clothes, she came to the stream with a basin full of clothes, but not only did no one take a handle, but there was even a lady who deliberately hit her hard when she passed by, and saw her fall to the ground in embarrassment, and her clothes were scattered on the ground, laughing.
"Look at her stupid look, it's really laughing!" Aunt Li, who had a good relationship with her in the past, sneered.
"It's not, if you want me to say, you deserve it!" Another woman answered.
Zhou Lan didn't dare to refute, she could only suffer this dumb loss, she stood up with the pain, silently packed all the clothes, and went to the place where she often went to do laundry, and the woman next to her immediately took the clothes and went to another place quickly.
As he walked, he scolded and said, "It's really unlucky! ”
Zhou Lan didn't dare to say that she didn't want to kill the people in the village at the beginning, she just wanted to teach Ye Xiaoying a lesson, but she didn't expect to be recognized by her and end up like this, it was all Ye Xiaoying's fault!
Zhou Lan did not repent, only blamed Ye Xiaoying angrily, scolding her in her heart while washing the clothes in her hands. But the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and she accidentally fell into the water with a piece of clothing, which was about to be washed away by the current.
When Zhou Lan saw it, she hurriedly rushed to fish, but her short hands were useless, so she could only watch the clothes drift farther and farther.
One person who hated her especially spat her fiercely when he saw this, "Shameless things, God can't see it, you deserve it!" ”
Zhou Lan was very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only lie there and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
I don't know how long it took for her to struggle to her feet, and she made a decision in her heart.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Lan carried a basket with a basket of vegetables in it, went to Ye Xiaoying's house, and happened to meet Li Tiezhu and Ye Xiaoying coming back together, so Xiao Hei followed them into the door, put down the things in his hand, and began to cry, a handful of snot and tears, looking very aggrieved!
"It was all my fault for the first few days, girl, you blame me, but now I know that I am wrong, I just ask you to forgive me, I will definitely be a man in the future, and I will never dare to have bad intentions! ……”
At the beginning, Zhou Lan had the intention of acting like this, but the more she said it, the more sad she became, and with the grievances of these days, she cried more sincerely.
