Chapter 855: Do you dare to swear to Goddess Mazu?
Ye Yaodong felt a bit depressed for a moment, but the feeling of fullness could make one's mood pleasant. After eating and drinking his fill, his mood also eased.
While they were eating noodles, both Ye Da's and Ye Er's families had already gone back. Anyway, since the person was already back, there was nothing wrong.
After Ye Fu and Ye Mu finished their noodles, they also went out together, planning to go to Ah Guang's house and then go straight home to sleep.
However, it was definitely impossible to sleep immediately. When Ye Yaodong returned, many villagers saw him. It was estimated that half the village had been told by now.
After Ye Mu went back, she had things to say to the neighbors on both sides. It was estimated that she would have to scold for half the night before she could fall asleep.
Ye Yaodong had been running back and forth all afternoon, and he also felt a bit tired, especially with his spirit being tense.
Although he was very calm on the surface and even started chatting with people in the Border Defense Station, and in fact, he hadn't received unfair treatment or persecution, he still felt a bit mentally exhausted.
After all, it was a sudden situation, and the initial display also shocked him. Moreover, he was surrounded by the whole village, so his psychology was still affected.
The result of being affected was that he simply took a shower, went back to his room, lay down, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, and he slept until dawn.
The fireworks and firecrackers outside the pier at dawn didn't wake him up.
After he got up and walked out of the room, he only saw a large piece of rice cake placed on the table, and the old lady also heard the movement of the door opening and came in from outside the house.
"The porridge is in the pot. I didn't know what time you would get up, so I later took the porridge and kept it warm in the pot, to avoid it becoming ice-cold. It's early in the morning, you can't eat cold food, it's not good for your stomach."
"Where's Aqing?"
"She went to watch the fun. Early in the morning, I heard that the old Wang family had been splashed with feces again last night." The old lady was happy, looking quite pleased.
"Ah? Splashed with feces again?"
Ye Yaodong was truly surprised this time. This time it had nothing to do with him; he didn't order anyone to do it.
"Everything was fine, why would someone go over and splash feces again?"
Could it be... his mother???
It was no wonder he thought so. After all, his mother was still scolding quite fiercely and was quite angry yesterday.
"I don't know. Everyone is spreading it, saying it might be the group of people who beat people up in the middle of the night a few days ago who came to toss their family again."
That can't be right? He didn't tell them to do it...
Ye Yaodong was full of confusion.
"They haven't tossed enough? Come again?"
The old lady originally didn't intend to expose him, but seeing his puzzled look, it didn't seem like he was pretending.
"It really wasn't you who did it?"
"What does it have to do with me? I ate noodles last night, took a shower, and went back to my room to sleep like a dead pig. I didn't even wake up when fireworks were set off in the middle of the night. Where would I have time to go out and commit a crime?"
"Wasn't it you who told people to do it?"
"I didn't even go out. I went to the Border Defense Station yesterday afternoon and hurried home when I came back, fearing you would worry. Where would I have time to wander around? After I got home, I didn't go out again."
"Ah, then who did it? I thought it was you who did it, and I also thought the people were beaten by you. Early in the morning, people in the village were all saying there, saying you came back yesterday, and must have thought their family reported you, so you ordered people to splash feces again, wanting to toss the old Wang family hard."
Ye Yaodong stared. "Fart, what does it have to do with me? I didn't do anything. Lying at home perfectly fine, a pot could fall from the sky. I'm more wronged than Dou E, and more pitiful than the little cabbage in the field."
Of course, he couldn't admit to things he hadn't done, although he wouldn't admit to things he had done either.
The old lady didn't know what to say now. The village had tacitly assumed it was Dongzi who did it.
Even if it wasn't you who did it, if everyone thinks it was you who did it, then it was you who did it.
Although everyone didn't say what he did, they only said that the other party was not authentic, actually engaging in such things as reporting, no wonder they were beaten and splashed with feces.
Anonymous report letters harmed many people in those years. Although they weren't widely affected in the countryside and there weren't so many dirty things, they had seen those who were sent down, and most had heard some stories about how they were harmed.
The villagers all hated those who wrote report letters. If someone found out, they would definitely be beaten by everyone.
Now this move of splashing feces made the villagers think it was the old Wang family who reported, so Dongzi took revenge again as soon as he came back.
No one said Dongzi did wrong. Instead, the old Wang family became a trend of being beaten by everyone...
"Everyone is spreading that it was you who did it, and I also thought it was you who did it. Plus, the old Wang family was splashed with feces again last night, so everyone thought you came back to take revenge."
"I'll go take a look after I finish eating."
Actually, it didn't matter. Originally, he ordered the beating, and adding a splash of feces was nothing. This old Wang family was also one of the suspects who wrote the report letter, and being splashed with feces again, he also clapped his hands and cheered.
It's just that he didn't know how it was being spread outside. He had to go listen and see, and by the way, see how it was splashed.
"Good, then you go take a look, and by the way, explain to the villagers that it wasn't you who did it. If it wasn't us who did it, we can't admit it."
"If it was me who did it, I couldn't admit it either."
"Ah?" The old lady was confused again. Was it him who did it or not?
Ye Yaodong saw the old lady's uncertain look again, wishing he could slap his own mouth, and emphasized it again.
"It really wasn't me who did it! I just said it like that."
"Oh." She was suspicious. Originally, she believed it wasn't him who did it, but after saying that just now, she was suspicious again.
Ye Yaodong shook his head and ate his porridge by himself. Forget it, he wouldn't explain.
"Where's Xiao Jiu?"
"Taken out to play by a few little ones."
"Oh, everyone has finished their exams and is on vacation. Now they have fun."
He wiped his mouth casually and walked out. The tide was rising at the seaside, but he didn't see the children playing at the door, and he didn't know where they had all run off to.
After walking into the village, the villagers on the road all greeted him actively, and the first sentence they said was, "You're back?"
Or, "Adong, you're back?"
Yesterday, a huge group of people watched him being taken away, but last night they heard he was back again. Everyone was quite surprised to see him early in the morning.
Ye Yaodong also kept responding, "Back... came back last night..."
Responding all the way, he walked near the old Wang family and smelled a stench of feces. He couldn't help but pinch his nose.
"Grass, how much feces and urine did this damn thing pour?"
In this countryside place, doing some disgusting things really can't avoid feces and urine.
Not far away, some people were gathered at the door of the old Wang family, and the noise was quite loud.
He wrinkled his nose, walked forward a bit closer, and heard his second sister-in-law's loud voice.
"Catching rape requires two, catching a thief requires stolen goods. You wrote an anonymous report letter yourselves, and it's deserved to be sprayed with feces. What does it have to do with us?"
Lin Xiuqing's voice also sounded. "He came back when it was dark yesterday, and then didn't go anywhere. He was too full, ran to your house, didn't do human things himself, and thought others didn't do human things either."
"It was Ye Yaodong who did it. How could there be such a coincidence? It's very normal for a hooligan like him to do this kind of thing. My husband must have been beaten by people he ordered."
"Right, who else but him."
"Right, he is taking revenge on us..."
"Then you admit it, the report letter was written by you, right?" Ye Yaodong pushed through the crowd and said loudly.
"Nonsense, we are all illiterate, where would we know how to write a report letter."
"That's hard to say. Adults are illiterate, but children always know a few words, right? Ordering children to write anonymous letters is not a problem."
"Don't you try to shift the blame. It must have been you who came to splash feces in the middle of the night yesterday..."
"I said it wasn't me. I swear to Goddess Mazu that I didn't do the splashing of feces last night, and I didn't order anyone to do it. If I'm lying, let Goddess Mazu punish me. I dare to swear, do you dare to swear?" Ye Yaodong swore directly, calm and collected.
The surrounding villagers were all surprised.
"It really wasn't him who did it?"
"No way, it really wasn't him?"
"He already swore, it shouldn't be him, right? Then who did it?"
"Ah, he already swore to Goddess Mazu, then it definitely wasn't him who did it..."
Ye Da's wife and Ye Er's wife also looked at Ye Yaodong in surprise. Although they helped argue on their side, they actually thought it was him who did it in their hearts.
Even Lin Xiuqing, after hearing about it this morning, was suspicious if he had gone to order people before he came back yesterday.
Ye Yaodong looked at the people around him with full faces of surprise, and he was very satisfied in his heart. "I said it wasn't me who did it, then it wasn't me who did it. I dare to swear, do you dare to swear? If you don't dare to swear, then it was you who wrote the report letter!"
It just happened to take the opportunity to pull it out and see who reported him.
This was also the purpose of his decisive swearing. He couldn't think of other methods, and they might not be effective. This swearing was considered the fastest to take effect.
The old Wang family didn't expect that he could so decisively swear to Goddess Mazu that it wasn't him who did it, and if he lied, let Goddess Mazu punish him.
A bunch of people were caught off guard by him, and they were all looking at each other, unable to speak.
"Speak up, you don't dare to swear, then it was you who reported it!" Ye Yaodong said with a resounding voice.
The surrounding villagers were all on his side now, pointing at the old Wang family on the opposite side, all saying they were not authentic, engaging in reporting.
Ye Er's wife also immediately put her hands on her hips, triumphantly and loudly said: "You don't dare to swear, that's having a guilty conscience, so the report letter was written by your family."
"Nonsense, swear if you want to swear. We swear to Goddess Mazu that the report letter wasn't done by us. If it was done by us, let Goddess Mazu punish us." Old Wang's wife took the lead in swearing to show her innocence.
Other women of the Wang family also followed suit one after another.
Now the villagers were all confused. The report letter wasn't written by the old Wang family, and the splashing of feces wasn't done by Ye Yaodong. Then who did it?
Lin Xiuqing's three sisters-in-law also couldn't make up their minds. Did they just argue here for nothing?
After the Wang family women finished swearing, they also felt triumphant. "I said it, the report letter wasn't done by us."
"Then it wasn't done by the other party, so the matter between your two families has nothing to do with each other. No need to argue, it's meaningless, everyone disperse..." A village cadre who was watching the development of the situation in the crowd said a sentence, wanting to act as a peacemaker.
Lin Xiuqing also pulled Ye Yaodong's hand. "Let's go, it wasn't done by them."
"Wait, there's one person who hasn't sworn yet."
Ye Yaodong had been staring at the people speaking on the opposite side, not missing one, and his finger turned in mid-air, then pointed at Haozi's wife standing on the side.
"Her, she didn't swear!"
Haozi's wife panicked for a moment, then calmed down and shouted, "I'm married out, what does it have to do with me? It wasn't done by me. My mother and my sister-in-law and the others all swore."
"They are them, you are you. Even if you are married out, you are still surnamed Wang, and you are still a member of the Wang family. Otherwise, why are you standing here? And, isn't the whole thing from beginning to end because of you?"
"You, a big man, bullying a woman, what is that? My whole family swore, what else do you want?"
"But you didn't swear. Do you have a guilty conscience, so everyone else swore, but you don't dare to swear?"
Ye Yaodong didn't think there was anything wrong with him asking a woman to swear. Women in the countryside were not ordinary women, most were like his mother.
What's more, it was just swearing. If it wasn't done by her, what's the matter with swearing? Isn't it just a matter of moving your lips?
Others could swear, why couldn't she?
Not swearing must be having a guilty conscience, afraid that swearing randomly would bring retribution.
"You are spraying feces randomly. My maiden family swore, why do I have to swear separately." Saying that, she walked out, intending to leave.
Ye Er's wife was relentless, went over to pull her, not letting her leave. "Your maiden family swearing is your maiden family. You don't dare to swear, that means it was done by you."
"Everyone, speak up. It's just swearing, moving your lips. If it wasn't done by yourself, then nothing will happen. But she doesn't dare, and she wants to sneak away now. This shows that the matter of writing an anonymous letter to report Adong was done by her, no mistake!"
"You nonsense, let go of me..."
Ye Da's wife and Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly went up to help grab the person, not letting her break free and run away.
"What are you doing... let go... I want to go home..."
Lin Xiuqing hurriedly grabbed her hard and didn't let go. "What's the rush? Just swear, what's the big deal? Your family members all swore, is your mouth more precious that you can't swear? Or is it just having a guilty conscience."
"It wasn't done by me, why should I swear."
"Not daring to swear to Goddess Mazu means you were the one who threw the anonymous letter to report and wrong my husband. You really aren't a thing, really poisonous."
"It just wasn't done by me, no evidence, don't frame me..."
Now there was no one who didn't understand.
The villagers present all understood instantly. The report letter was written by Haozi's wife, deliberately wanting to mess with Ye Yaodong, so all the Wang family members swore, while she didn't dare to swear and wanted to escape with a guilty conscience.
Lin Xiuqing angrily slapped her several times and even pinched her. "So it was you who did it, you harmful person, let you be stubborn, let you be stubborn..."
Those women of the Wang family couldn't just watch their own people being bullied, so they all gathered around to help.
"What are you doing, what are you doing... without evidence, why say it was done by her..."
"Catching a thief requires stolen goods, you have no evidence, why frame..."
"Does this still need evidence? It's clearly having a guilty conscience, otherwise why wouldn't she dare to swear?"
"If you didn't do it, why swear?"
"You didn't do it, but you also swore..." ===== CHAPTER 856 =====
