Protagonist:

Lin Hao

Not long after, they heard the Village Party Secretary's loud voice ringing through the village: "All you villagers, come out for a meeting! Lin Hao brought back some important matters from the commune to tell everyone about, so don't dawdle, hurry up!"

Hearing this, the villagers thought there was nothing to do in the evening anyway, and coming to a meeting would let them chat with neighbors, so they all responded. Soon, villagers came out of their houses in twos and threes carrying stools, talking and laughing as they walked toward the meeting place.

The educated youth naturally heard the notice too and came out one after another. Zhou Rong, walking among the crowd, spotted Lin Hao at a glance. Seeing that although he had changed and washed, he still looked a bit disheveled from head to toe covered in mud, she stepped forward and asked with concern: "Lin Hao, what happened to you? How did you end up like this? I heard you fell into a mud pit? Are you hurt?"

Lin Hao smiled and replied: "It's nothing, Zhou Rong, I just accidentally fell down, I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."

Zhou Rong nodded and said: "That's good, be more careful from now on." After speaking, she followed the crowd toward the meeting place, while Lin Hao secretly looked forward to what was about to happen, thinking his plan must go smoothly.

When almost everyone had arrived, Lin Hao cleared his throat, stepped to the front, and began to speak.

"Uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, today I've gathered everyone here. On one hand, there's something I need to tell you all, and on the other hand, I also want to spread some hygiene knowledge I brought back from the commune. These are all matters concerning everyone's health, so you all must listen carefully." Lin Hao said with a serious expression.

The villagers quieted down, all eyes fixed on Lin Hao as they listened to him speak.

"First, let's talk about drinking water. Everyone must pay attention—don't keep drinking cold water. Raw water contains all sorts of germs, and drinking it can give you diarrhea, and getting sick is terrible. Normally, you must boil the water before drinking to ensure good health. Also, you must wash your hands before eating. If dirty things on your hands go into your stomach with the food, you can easily get sick..."

Just like that, Lin Hao carefully explained the hygiene knowledge to everyone, until he saw that everyone looked thoughtful, and only then did he feel it was about enough.

"Alright, that's all for the hygiene knowledge. I hope everyone remembers it and puts it into practice. Next, there's another matter that I need everyone's help with." As he spoke, Lin Hao took out that stack of letters from his bag.

"It's like this. Today I went to the commune to get things, and on the way back I accidentally fell into a mud pit, and these letters suffered too—they got soaked. Let me apologize to everyone first. I'm truly sorry."

Lin Hao looked at everyone with a guilty expression, then continued, "Now, I'll distribute these letters to the recipients. Everyone, take a careful look and see if any of them are yours."

Speaking, Lin Hao began looking at the recipient names one by one, then handed the letters to the corresponding villagers.

Soon, only Liu Lan's letter remained. Lin Hao held this letter, deliberately furrowed his brow, and showed a troubled expression as he said to everyone: "Oh dear, this letter is troublesome. The recipient and sender are both soaked and illegible, but it's definitely sent to our village. If you don't mind, let's open the letter and see whose it is. Maybe some relative or friend has an urgent matter."

Hearing this, the villagers all began discussing in a babble of voices.

"Oh, how are we supposed to tell then?"

"It seems no one in our village has mentioned having relatives or friends in Sichuan."

"Why not just open it and take a look? Maybe we can find the owner."

Most villagers didn't receive more than a few letters all year, and hearing it was sent from Sichuan, they looked at each other. No one stepped forward to say they had relatives or friends in Sichuan.

Feng Huacheng was also in the crowd. He never imagined it could be a letter sent by Liu Lan.

In his heart, he had probably already forgotten someone like Liu Lan long ago.

Since no one had any objections, Lin Hao made a move to open the letter.

But just then, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he covered his throat, coughed twice, and with a thirsty look said to Song Jie beside him: "Oh, Brother Jie, I've been talking for so long, I'm dying of thirst now. You look at the letter for me, I'll go drink some water and be right back."

Hearing this, Song Jie was not happy in his heart. His face full of displeasure, he muttered: "Hmph, this brat Lin Hao is ordering me around. Why doesn't he do his own thing himself?"

But although he said that with his mouth, he still reached out and took the letter.

Song Jie held the letter and casually looked at it.

But as soon as he looked, before even a minute had passed, his face showed a shocked expression. His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide enough to stuff an egg, and he couldn't help but mutter: "This... how could this..."

The villagers all saw Song Jie's appearance and immediately quieted down. They all craned their necks, curious to know what was written in the letter that could shock Song Jie so much.

Song Jie's gaze moved quickly across the letter paper. In just a short while, he had roughly finished reading the content of the letter.

He slowly raised his head. His gaze first swept around the crowd, then finally settled on Feng Huacheng.

Immediately after, Song Jie suddenly stood up, held the letter high, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, come listen! This letter is truly unexpected! It's written by a girl sent down to the countryside in Sichuan, and it's written to someone among us here. Do you know? Back then, when this person got this girl pregnant, he actually ruthlessly abandoned her! Because of that, not only did the girl lose her child, but she also fell ill with all sorts of sickness. Now she's still in the countryside in Sichuan, in terrible health, barely able to go on. Yet even so, the girl still keeps this person in her heart. Tell me, isn't someone who does this kind of thing too heartless? He's simply a scoundrel!"

Song Jie's words were like a huge stone thrown onto a calm lake, instantly causing a huge uproar among the villagers.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and all faces showed expressions of disbelief.

"What? Our village actually has such a person? That's too immoral!" An auntie frowned, her face full of indignation. As she spoke, she slapped the palm-leaf fan in her hand hard against her leg.

"Judging by the situation, it's obviously one of those few educated youth." An uncle stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

For a moment, everyone's eyes all focused on Feng Huacheng and Liu Qiang.

There were only four male educated youth in this village. Lin Hao was first ruled out by everyone.

He was the first to see the letter. If he had done this thing, there would be no need to bring the letter out for everyone to see.

And Song Jie was obviously not it either. If it were him, he wouldn't have said this thing publicly.

So, everyone knew clearly in their hearts that the remaining suspects were only Feng Huacheng and Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang stood there, being stared at by everyone. He was straightforward but not stupid. He immediately shouted loudly: "What are you looking at me for? It's not me. I haven't done such an immoral thing!"

As for Feng Huacheng, his face instantly turned deathly pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes showed a hint of terror. He opened his mouth, seeming to want to explain something, but his throat seemed to be choked by something, and for a long while he couldn't say a word.
