Chapter 143: Reaping What One Sows 2

"Put some clothes on him," the Captain shouted coldly.

But it was hot now, and who had spare clothes to give Er Gouzi to wear? Especially with that pig manure all over him, no one wanted to get near him.

In the end, it was the auntie who fed the pigs who pulled a tattered straw raincoat out of the small grass shed; never mind whether it was prickly or not, she just threw it on him first.

The Captain chased the villagers away and pushed Er Gouzi directly into the grass shed from before.

Er Gouzi was now distraught, his whole person as if he had lost his soul, "It was An Yinan, it was definitely her."

Only this one sentence was repeated over and over.

Auntie Lu stood straight up, "It was that An Educated Youth, that thousand-slashing wretch, she must be held responsible for my Er Gouzi."

The Captain gave a cold snort and looked at the Scorekeeper.

"An Educated Youth had heatstroke at noon and is resting in her room right now; I just had Xie the Educated Youth go over to check on her." The Scorekeeper had just checked everyone who was absent from work, and it was clear that Er Gouzi was delirious; it was impossible for this to have happened without someone framing him.

He quickly screened those who hadn't gone to work; An Yinan not only had Xie the Educated Youth checking on her, but even more, she had Yun Shu's personal protection.

"Who else is unaccounted for right now?" the Captain asked.

"Sun the Educated Youth and Zhao the Educated Youth don't know where they went," the Scorekeeper answered honestly.

"Eh? Zhao the Educated Youth seemed to go to the Back Mountain at noon, saying he wanted to pick up some firewood on the outskirts; we even greeted each other," a young man from the village said.

"Go find them," the Captain said.

Very quickly, Sun Xiaoqin and Zhao Jiang were found; the two were getting hot and heavy, and they were startled when they were found. Because the effects of the drug had mostly worn off, Sun Xiaoqin's mind was not confused, and seeing everyone's gazes, she hid fearfully behind Zhao Jiang.

Zhao Jiang looked at everyone, his face turning the color of a pig's liver.

After the two put on their clothes, they went to the small grass shed with the crowd and only then learned what had happened.

Through Er Gouzi's testimony, everyone understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that the two had wanted to frame An Yinan, but they hadn't expected that An Yinan wouldn't fall for it, while Er Gouzi had, and regardless of the various reasons, in the end, they reaped what they sowed.

An Yinan arrived at the grass shed at this time; after all, she was also a party involved, even though she had never shown her face.

"The Captain is looking for me?" An Yinan rubbed her sleepy eyes, as if she had been woken from a beautiful dream.

The Captain's face was dark, but his expression softened when he looked at An Yinan; in fact, he had probably guessed something in his heart.

The Captain recounted the sequence of events, "Do you know about this?"

An Yinan trembled in fear, her whole person like a quail, cowering in Yun Shu's arms, "How could this be? I have considered myself to have been striving for the welfare of the villagers since I came to Quanshui Village, and I have never corrupted the village in the slightest. Why would there be such a vicious person? To actually want to frame me and put me in such a dire situation; if it weren't for others who couldn't stand by and watch, even if I died today, I wouldn't be able to clear my name."

"This matter must be reported to the police; I will not agree to any other method, only reporting to the police," An Yinan said with a resonant voice, and in that fragile, little-white-flower-like appearance, there was a firm gaze.

This time, both Er Gouzi and Sun Xiaoqin were finished; although Zhao Jiang was involved, it wasn't too bad in the end.

The Captain looked at An Yinan, confirmed that she had handled it cleanly, and nodded, "Then report to the police."

Auntie Lu had originally wanted the Captain to make the decision to have An Yinan marry into the family, and this matter would have been settled once and for all, and with time, other voices would have slowly faded away.

But she hadn't expected this dead girl to insist on reporting to the police, and the Captain, not afraid of the scandal, had actually agreed.

"No, you can't report to the police; if you report to the police, how will my Er Gouzi live?" Auntie Lu refused point-blank.

An Yinan smiled, her fragile face carrying a bit of misery, "It is a pity that I came to the countryside to build up the rural areas, and yet there are such... such... people who exist. My heart is very uneasy; I want to go back. I am afraid that one day I will fall into a trap and never be able to go back. I want to contact the army where my father served before he died, and I want to contact my husband's army."

As An Yinan spoke, the Captain suddenly frowned and looked at An Yinan. "Your husband?"

The villagers were also shocked, looking at the eighteen-year-old An Yinan. Her husband? What was the situation?

An Yinan thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right, I got married a month ago; my partner is from the Northeast Military Region."

Upon hearing this, Auntie Lu's eyes rolled back, and she was about to faint again.

They had experience with people fainting; they pinched her hard again, this time with extra force. To give birth to such a scoundrel of a son and ruin the reputation of Quanshui Village, how could she have the nerve to faint!

When the Captain heard this, he knew there was no way to end this without reporting to the police.

"Go report to the police." Hearing the order, the Scorekeeper quickly found a bicycle and then rode toward the County.

A military dependent; this was an attempt to frame a military dependent.

And a martyr's orphan at that.

Er Gouzi was finished.

Just as the Scorekeeper was halfway there, he saw teams of jeeps driving from afar. He first cleared the road, and after the convoy passed, he went to the City to report to the police.

When the Public Security Bureau heard that a military dependent and a martyr's orphan had been harmed, they immediately dispatched officers.

In half a day's time, cars were coming and going in Quanshui Village. Before the police car even arrived, a team of jeeps had already driven to the Daduibu.

When the villagers brought the news, everyone in the grass shed was stunned and collectively looked at An Yinan; every time jeeps came, it was because of this one person.

An Yinan thought about it; she shouldn't have any missions recently, so why would people come looking for her? That shouldn't be possible.

Auntie Lu laughed out loud, "Everyone look, the evil-hearted thing finally has someone coming to take her away. Framing my Er Gouzi, her heart is black. A military dependent, a martyr's family member indeed; heaven has eyes, finally letting this money-losing goods get lost."

The Captain gave a snort, "Keep an eye on them."

Then he went to the Daduibu.

At this moment, the few people at the Daduibu were at daggers drawn; it was very clear they were not from the same group.

Seeing the Captain, several people anxiously stepped forward to ask, "Where is the An Educated Youth from Quanshui Village? The Educated Youth An Yinan."

"I heard them say you are the Captain, right? I need to see the Educated Youth An now."

"I came first; do you understand first come, first served? If anyone is to see her, I should see her first."

"Step aside, only those with ability should see her first; I will see her first."

Every one of them looked like a refined person, so why did their speech have the feeling of a market brawl?

The Captain couldn't quite tell if this group of people was here to find fault, or find fault, or find fault.

An Yinan leaned against Yun Shu, pretending to be a little white flower. Pretending, acting—Big Sister has watched every drama by Auntie Qiong Yao.

Competing with Big Sister in acting, you are still far behind.

Before that group of people could reach a conclusion, the Public Security Bureau's car arrived.

"Who is An Yinan?" After the people from the Public Security Bureau arrived on the scene, they first marveled at the number of jeeps; after all, in this small City, being able to see one or two was already an eye-opener. How could there be so many in this Quanshui Village?
