Chapter 257: The Weak Sister of the Heroine in the Period Novel (3)
Niu Cunliang was panicked. It was difficult for his father to cover up for him in front of so many villagers. Was he really going to be arrested by the police?
"Dad, I don't dare anymore. Please talk to the educated youth and don't let them go to the police. Isn't it okay if I'm wrong?"
Secretary Niu went up and kicked him: "Shut up!"
The police didn't say anything yet he confessed his guilt. How could he give birth to such an idiot!
Before Niu Cunliang could say anything, a middle-aged woman squeezed in from behind the crowd. She had a strong build and dark skin from years of hard work.
The triangular eyes reveal a fierce look.
She rushed out howling like a ghost, hugged Niu Cunliang and cried, "His father! How could you be so cruel as to let our son be arrested by the police?"
"Didn't he steal the things? We are from the same village, why can't we talk it out? You bastards want to arrest my son and shoot him!"
When Niu Cunliang saw that it was his mother, he burst into tears, "Mom, you testify for me, I am not here to steal anything today, I am here to look for someone! Didn't you say that you would give Gu Zhen to me as my wife?"
Zhou Xueyan rolled her eyes, paused, and then cried even louder: "Son, didn't you say you had an appointment with Gu Zhiqing and that she wouldn't be at work today, so you were asked to go find her? Why are you accusing you of stealing now that she's not here?"
Everyone frowned when they heard this. Even if Gu Zhiqing was blind, he wouldn't look down on Niu Cunliang, right?
What does he look like and what is his educational level? Although he is physically weak, he is polite and kind. Who would be interested in a skinny, disgusting and stinky hooligan?
Several educated youth were very angry. When everyone first came to the countryside to work, Gu Zhen was only sixteen years old. She was very young and in poor health, but she never complained and never cried in front of others. She was a very popular little sister in the educated youth team.
How could you watch her being insulted?
Just as I was about to retort, I heard a familiar voice.
"What's going on? Uncle and Madam, please make way. Is there something wrong in our educated youth's yard?"
It was Gu Zhen.
She hid behind the house and listened for a long time. She thought it was time to come out, so she went behind the crowd and called out softly.
Everyone made way for her, and Gu Zhen, wearing a navy blue cotton jacket and two pigtails, stood there prettily.
She had become a little darker than when she first arrived, but she still looked like a city girl, with beautiful watery almond-shaped eyes.
The mother and son from the Niu family, who were hugging each other and crying on the ground, looked like they were cast in the same mold, with the appearance of sarcastic mice.
Everyone once again believed that as long as Gu Zhiqing was not a blind fool, he would not be chosen.
So what if he is the secretary's son? He has been keeping an eye on the educated youth these years. Many people have tried to match them up with him, but none of them have succeeded. Everyone is waiting to return to the city!
Gu Zhen walked over slowly, took a good look at everything in the room, and suddenly his expression changed.
"What happened? Was there a burglary in the house? Have you asked someone to call the police?"
Zhang Yue came over and stuffed her money and food coupons into his hands: "Here, Niu Cunliang stole your things and we caught him red-handed, and he's trying to make excuses now!"
"Yes, Gu Zhen, before going to work, you told us that you were going to dig some noodles and vegetables. Have you been outside the whole time?"
Gu Zhen squeezed Lu Linlin's hand and continued her words, "Yes, but we didn't find much. It didn't look good, so we didn't dig. We were delayed outside for the whole afternoon."
When everyone heard this, they realized that Comrade Gu Zhiqing was not there. Look at the small box. If he was there, wouldn’t the cattle have eaten the stored food?
But Niu Cunliang was furious when he heard this. He stood up and yelled, "Bullshit! I knocked you out today and even took off your pants. Suddenly you kicked me and knocked me out with a basin..."
Before she finished, Gu Zhen started crying and lay in Lu Linlin's arms: "What? I can't even dig the silt in the river, how can I knock you out? If you want to lie, you should make it more plausible, right?"
The villagers all thought that this was the case.
Niu Cunliang had no words to express his grievances and looked at his parents as if asking for help.
Secretary Niu was still thinking about how to minimize the impact of the incident when Zhou Xueyan stood up, put her hands on her waist, pointed at Gu Zhen and cursed.
"Why are you crying and pretending, little girl? If you hadn't seduced my son, how could he not come to work to find you? Your parents have already decided to marry you to our Niu family, so you have to serve and store food well. After you get married, I will punish you!"
What a tigress protecting her cub! In the original book, Zhou Xueyan did a lot of bullying to the original owner.
Because this hypocritical Secretary Niu really likes to do some adulterous things.
This is not the first time that Zhou Xueyan has taken out her anger on the original owner.
Gu Zhen's eyes turned cold, and she stood up straight and looked Zhou Xueyan in the face: "We should use evidence when speaking and doing things. We are now in a society ruled by law, and we no longer talk about arranged marriages. My parents can't make the decision either. Don't force me to go to the Women's Federation. I want to see who is still oppressing us women!"
It was unexpected that a weak person suddenly became tough.
But what they said is right. What era is it now? Every year there are people promoting women's liberation. How can they not catch a few typical examples?
Zhou Xueyan shrank her neck, but still refused to give in: "Your family has accepted the betrothal gifts, so you have to marry me even if you don't want to."
Gu Zhen sneered. Gu's parents were not that kind of people. They were still waiting for her reply. How could they accept a betrothal gift?
It must have been received by the heroine Gu Manman.
"Whoever takes you in can marry him. It has nothing to do with me anyway. It's useless to hold on to this. Today, Niu Cunliang was caught stealing things. I want to report it to the police. I ask all the villagers to be my witnesses!"
Everyone has long been fed up with the theft and molestation of the young wife's cattle and grain, but they dared not speak out for the sake of the secretary's face. Now they must seize the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Anyway, even if the secretary wants to take revenge, he can't take revenge on the entire village.
Several educated youth stood behind Gu Zhen to support her. Today's little sister was impressive. She was eloquent and clear-minded, and she was not dragged into a trap by anyone.
Secretary Niu wanted to stop them, but he was unable to do so because the two male educated youth had already run away to call the police.
Zhou Xueyan hugged her son, her eyes as sharp as knives.
Gu Zhen was not afraid either. As long as there was no evidence, she would be invincible.
It was getting dark. The villagers did not go home for dinner today. They were not afraid of the cold and sat in the yard in groups of three or four with their sleeves tucked in, waiting for the police to arrive.
Finally, the police car arrived.
Along with them came several staff members from the Youth League Office.
As soon as they got off the car, they looked around seriously: "Who is Comrade Niu Cunliang? Someone has reported you for stealing the property of the educated youth and spreading rumors in an attempt to discredit the innocence of a female comrade. Please come with us!"
Niu Cunliang sat down on the ground.
"And Comrade Gu Zhen, as the person involved, please join us. We will give you an explanation of right and wrong."
