Chapter 22: Self-defeating

"I'll tear your mouth apart, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Guizhi was so angry that she lost her mind, and picked up the shovel to shoot Lin Rufang.

Liu Wu protected the child behind him, stretched out his hand to hold the shovel, and said sharply: "Comrade Xia, in front of me, you dare to be so presumptuous, it can be seen that you beat the child at home on weekdays!" ”

"What's wrong with me hitting the kid?" Xia Guizhi was unconvinced and took back the shovel and said loudly: "I raised them from a young age, and I can fight them as much as I want." ”

"Nonsense!" Liu Wujian raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Now is a society ruled by law, do you understand that abusing children is a crime?" ”

"I am illiterate, and I don't know anything about lawlessness." Xia Guizhi took out her nonsense head, threw the shovel, pulled Lin Rufang's arm and said, "Go, follow me home." ”

"I'm not going back!" Lin Rufang broke free from her in horror and hid behind Liu Wu.

At this time, a sudden southwest wind blew, Xia Guizhi's swollen head sobered up a little, and she suddenly came back to her senses, she was wronged, what to run.

"Big cap, you say I'm abusing children? Is there any evidence? Come up with evidence, otherwise, I'll go to your leaders and bully me for being an old woman in the countryside Don't you know where the gate of the county government is opening? ”

The more Xia Guizhi spoke, the more angry she became, the more she said, the more aggrieved she became, and finally slapped her thighs, "Folks, you give a comment, this dead girl was about to starve to death on the road more than ten years ago, I kindly picked her up, she is now grown up and her wings are hard and she wants to fly, she bites me and abuses her, God, where can I reason!" ”

"You didn't abuse the child? So what is it? Liu Erhei angrily rolled up Lin Duoduo's sleeves.

In front of everyone's eyes, Lin Duoduo stretched out two slender arms.

Cyan-red scars, crawling like earthworms on her arms.

Shen Mingci only glanced at it, then closed his eyes worriedly, as if he had been hit hard by something, and he was stuffy for dozens of seconds before he took a breath.

At this moment, he completely believed that Lin Duoduo was innocent, and he did not conspire with Xia Guizhi and the others to frame him, let alone sneak away as Liu Qingyuan said.

"This, this ......" Xia Guizhi looked at the injuries on Lin Duoduo's arms and legs, completely blindfolded.

The onlookers exploded.

"Gui Zhi, you are really damn vicious, why did you beat Ermaozi like this!"

"Didn't you hear it? This out-of-town woman has a vicious heart. ”

"No wonder Ermao is always busy working outside the house, her eldest sister has never worked in the field, it turns out that her mother is partial to her daughter."

"Even if you pick it up, you can't do that, huh? It's so ruthless, it's so big and still fighting like this, I can't tell how many beatings I took when I was a child! ”

"All quiet, don't talk!" Liu Wu waved his arms and shouted to maintain order, and after the scene was silent, he asked Xia Guizhi, "What else do you have to say?" Even your own third daughter personally said that you abused Lin Duoduo. ”

"I didn't, I didn't, I didn't hit her!" Xia Guizhi's head shook like a rattle, she jumped up and hugged Liu Wu's feet and neck, and mourned, "Lord Qingtian, you have to make the decision for me, I, Ernier, was stupid and confused for a while after being ruined by that educated youth, and became a psychopath, she didn't know who beat me, I really didn't beat her, wrongedβ€”β€”"

"Sister Xia," Liu Erhei stepped forward and said angrily: "You said she was crazy, then let me ask you, classmate Lin, she is mentally abnormal, how can she get the first place in the city?" ”

"Before you were imprisoned, Lin had been helping to make clothes in a clothing store, and she had designed so many clothing draft drawings, if she was stupid and crazy, would she be able to do this?"

"Finally, let me ask you again, two years ago, was it your eldest daughter Lin Ruyue or your adopted daughter Lin Duoduo who saved Shen Zhiqing?"

"I, she ......" never dreamed that Lin Duoduo would poke this secret out, Xia Guizhi was terrified, and her face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

"I can testify for Comrade Lin," Shen Mingci said in a somewhat strange voice: "The person who saved me is not Lin Ruyue, but Lin Duoduo." ”

"You are?" Liu Wu saw that this young man had an extraordinary bearing, a clean and spirited face, and his first impression was very good.

Shen Mingci stretched out his right hand and said politely, "Hello, I am Shen Mingci, an educated youth." ”

First with Lin Duoduo's testimony in front and a good impression in the back, Liu Wu didn't look like a pervert no matter how he looked at him, so he said enthusiastically: "Hello Shen Zhiqing, my name is Liu Wu, I am in charge of public security in Lu County, I will definitely find out about your affairs." ”

"Comrade Liu, don't worry," Shen Mingci said righteously, "I grew up under the red flag when I was a child, and I will never do anything to isolate myself from the people." ”

"Good, good." This look is a good boy, Liu Wu knew it, put his hand behind his back, turned his face and asked Xia Guizhi, "You said that he spoiled your daughter, why did the person Lin Duoduo claim that she didn't know?" ”

Xia Guizhi thought that Yu Shijie would lock Lin Duoduo up for many days, so she howled without scruples for three days, and she thought that she would be confronted face to face, she was already in a mess, and she didn't dare to speak with a weak heart.

But Bao'er's son is still in the hands of Yu Laosan, and he claims that if he dares to betray him, he will kill Lin Tianci.

How dare Xia Guizhi confess to him, so he had to play tricks, and insisted that he didn't know, "That suicide note, that dress, it, it appeared at my door inexplicably, Ermao, my mother was really scared stupid at the time, I was old and confused and deceived for a while, I was afraid that you really found a short sight, isn't it good that it's okay now?" You're going to go home with your mom, huh? Don't delay the time of other leaders, it's weird and hot, stand here and suffer. ”

"Are you alright?" She said it lightly, but Lin Duoduo's lungs were about to explode, "You are calling slander and insulting the reputation of others, and you are going to prison, do you understand!" ”

"Whew, don't scare me!" Xia Guizhi was already holding back her stomach, thinking that she would be done if she bowed her head to Lin Duoduo and admitted her mistake, but she didn't expect her to hold on and send herself to prison.

How can this damn girl be as ruthless as her father!

Thinking of the past many years ago, Xia Guizhi was so angry that her chest was tight and short, and her temper also came up, she held her head high and shouted at Liu Wu, "Leader, why don't you listen to her girl's words indiscriminately?" Who saw me lock her in a bomb shelter? I'm an old woman, how can I open the door of the bomb shelter. ”

This is a question, Liu Wu looked at Lin Duoduo, "Xiaolin, do you have any witnesses?" ”

"I'm ......" Lin Duoduo hesitated, and asked Yu Shijie in the crowd for help uncertainly.

What was he doing in a bomb shelter? Will he take her word for it and expose his whereabouts to testify for her?

As soon as the two doubts passed through Lin Duoduo's mind, he heard Yu Shijie's clean and loud voice, from far to near.

"I can testify."

Yu Shijie paced out of the crowd, walked in front of Liu Wu, scratched his flat head that was as short as his scalp, smiled innocently, and said: "This leader, I can testify for Lin Duoduo, when I found her in the air-raid shelter, she was so hungry that she fainted. ”

"Oh," Liu Wu was relieved at this time, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, "Isn't this air-raid shelter in Dahuangzhuang locked?" How did you end up there? ”

"Hey, this air-raid shelter has long been dug up by tomb robbers and treasure hunters," Yu Shijie smiled matter-of-factly, "I was idle and took my rhubarb to the back mountain to hunt rabbits, and as a resultβ€”β€”"

He pouted and whistled, and a big yellow dog came from nearby.

Yu Shijie stroked Rhubarb's head, and then said: "My Rhubarb smelled the popularity and ran into the air-raid shelter, I followed and went in, and then I found that Lin Duoduo was tied up with hemp rope and passed out on the ground. ”

"You, you scoundrel......" I didn't expect Yu Shijie to hit a rake, and Xia Guizhi was so angry that she almost turned her back on it.

"Auntie," Yu Shijie scratched his nose, stretched his head in front of Xia Guizhi, and said in a threatening tone, "If you misunderstand other people's young comrades, just apologize, don't make a fuss, it's not like talking." ”

"It's just, it's too unusual!" It is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, and in line with the principle of turning big things into small things, Liu Wu persuaded Xia Guizhi, "Comrade Xia, let's do it, in front of the big guys, apologize to Shen Zhiqing and your daughter Lin Duoduo, and promise not to abuse her again in the future." ”

Xia Guizhi knew that she was being used by Yu Shijie, but her son was in his hands, she couldn't speak clearly, her head sank with anger, and she sat on the ground with a "bang".

"Brother San'er, thank you." Lin Duoduo was very grateful to Yu Shijie for helping her lie, she walked out from behind Liu Wu and said, "Captain Liu, I have a few words I want to say. ”

Although Xia Guizhi admitted that he lied, Shen Mingci's matter could not be finished in such an unclear manner, it had to be completely clarified and his innocence returned.

"It's all quiet!" Liu Wu beckoned, signaling the crowd to calm down.

Lin Duoduo looked around at everyone and said in a hoarse voice: "Uncles and aunts, you have watched me grow up, you know what kind of person I am, and it is really helpless to sue my mother in the county this time." ”

"It's okay if my mother doesn't give me a book, she still forces me to marry, and I don't agree, so she beats me and locks me in a cave, you say, is she doing the right thing? Even if I picked it up, she couldn't do this to me. ”

"There is one more thing I want to say, the educated youth Shen Mingci has never played hooligan on me, I don't know why my mother framed him like this. Maybe he wants to ruin my reputation, so that I can't marry in Siwaizhuang, and I can't study, so I can sell it to the people in the mountains. ”

"Shen Zhiqing is a very good comrade, people came from Kyoto thousands of miles to join us in order to help transform our commune and build a new socialist countryside. Uncles and aunts, you listened to my mother's nonsense and scolded Comrade Shen here for three days, are you worthy of his efforts in our village for four years? ”

After Lin Duoduo's clear and eloquent words were finished, the people present were suddenly silent, and some simple fellows lowered their heads in shame.
