Chapter 46, Episode 0046: Last night was quite lively!
"Widow Sun said that she knew Captain Zhou didn't dare to offend Sun Hua because Sun Hua had a cousin who was the director of the committee behind him. But if things continued like this, her family would be forced to their deaths by Sun Hua and his gang sooner or later. She didn't want to live anymore anyway, so she wanted to take someone down with her before she died."

In order to drag Sun Hua down with her, Widow Sun, an illiterate woman, made several trips to the county to find out which crimes would get the heaviest sentences.

After learning about it, she searched and searched and found that the most serious crime that gave her room to maneuver was hooliganism, which could result in being shot.

As for reputation, why would someone who doesn't even want to live care about reputation?
The words Gou Dan shouted were made by Widow Sun after she offered him two steamed buns. However, Widow Sun herself hadn't anticipated that Gou Dan would also see Fang Donglin trying to trick Sun Hua into giving him a dowry. The child, being clueless, blurted it out as well.

Last night was quite lively.

Two groups of people were going to put the sacks on Sun Hua's head.

One group consisted of Aunt Wu, who had been silenced by Sun Hua yesterday and was now sitting in front of Lin Yuexi—her four sons, the first, second, third, and fourth sons of her family.

The other group was Fang Donglin and his wife. Yes, the couple. It wasn't just Fang Donglin alone; Zhou Wensi was also there.

Lin Yuexi witnessed firsthand the shady dealings of the two groups.

Two groups of people arrived. One group consisted of villagers who had been hiding outside the educated youth settlement earlier. The other group came from the second brigade, which used to belong to the neighboring village and was some distance from the first brigade. They arrived later.

Around 11 p.m., the two groups bumped into each other by chance outside the educated youth settlement. Neither side was experienced, and neither side tried to conceal themselves. They were carrying either sacks or sticks, so although they hadn't committed any crime yet, the evidence was already conclusive.

Both sides were terrified. Lin Yuexi almost laughed herself to death when she saw their reactions. They covered each other's mouths in horror, communicating with their hands like a secret underground gang meeting. They couldn't understand each other's sign language and guessed for a while before finally giving up and squatting down to talk in hushed tones.

Upon speaking, wow, they were on the same page.

Let's cooperate then.

After discussing for a long time, the two sides finally decided that the first, second, third, and fourth strong men would go into the educated youth settlement to get Sun Hua out. The second strong man, who was the tallest and most agile, would be responsible for putting the sack on Sun Hua. The first and third strong men would be responsible for restraining Sun Hua after the second strong man put the sack on him. The fourth strong man, who was the strongest, would carry Sun Hua out. Fang Donglai would be responsible for knocking Sun Hua unconscious in case he made a mistake. Zhou Wensi, who was the weakest, would be responsible for beating Sun Hua in the end.

Just as the group finished discussing their plan, footsteps came from the educated youth settlement. The group members, their faces pale with fright, hurriedly hid.

Just as the group had hidden themselves, Sun Hua crouched down and quietly slipped out.

This is practically delivered to their doorstep, saving them the risk of venturing into the educated youth settlement to lure people away.

Sun Hua walked ahead, crouching low, while the others followed behind, also crouching low.

Lin Yuexi lamented that she wouldn't have a chance to continue 'watching,' but she didn't expect these people to be so kind. Knowing that she wanted to watch the show, they started making moves before she even left the area where she could 'watch.'

To the right of Lin Yuexi's house is an empty plot of land, which has now been designated as their private plot. However, everyone has been busy lately, and nothing has been planted there.

Between the private plot and Lin Yuexi's house, there are two large banyan trees standing side by side, requiring two people to encircle them. After passing the two banyan trees, there is a bend, and after the bend, there is a straight road leading directly to the back mountain.

As soon as they turned the corner, Erzhuang, quick-witted and agile, stepped forward and slipped Sun Hua into a sack.

The group worked together to take the man down, and then Fang Donglin and Zhou Wensi, along with their husband, joined in and gave him a good beating.

Did Sun Hua call him?
It screamed, and it screamed quite pitifully.

Lin Yuexi's family home wasn't too remote; there were several other households around besides the educated youth settlement, and further in was the main residential area for the villagers. Judging from Sun Hua's screams, it's no exaggeration to say that the village head and the old Party Secretary, who lived at the village entrance, could hear them most of the time.

Surprisingly, apart from the lights in the surrounding houses turning off after a while, only a few people peeked out from the intersection and then disappeared.

This is a particularly magical thing in the village and should be recorded in the village history.

It was only much later that Lin Yuexi learned that Dazhuang and his gang had reported the beating, which was why they dared to start the fight before even leaving the village.

As for the idea of ​​stripping people almost naked and hanging them on a big tree at the entrance of the village, probably no one expected that it was Zhou Wensi who came up with it.

Aunt Wu had no idea that Lin Yuexi already knew everything that happened last night, and continued speaking as if she were an outsider: "Widow Sun is stupid. She probably had no other choice. Even if she wanted to link her with Sun Hua, it wouldn't necessarily be a crime of hooliganism. Besides, Sun Hua has connections in the committee. What if she gets herself arrested instead of Sun Hua?"

It's terrifying to think about. If the brigade leader and the others hadn't realized something was wrong, driven away the onlookers, and arranged for Peach Blossom to persuade Widow Sun, she would have been the one to suffer the consequences.

"Lin Zhiqing, you don't know how stubborn Widow Sun was back then. It made me so angry."

The brigade knew that Sun Hua had bullied Widow Sun's family. If Widow Sun said she had a relationship with someone else, people would probably believe her, but if she said it was with Sun Hua, no one would believe her.

So everyone started advising her, saying, "Tell her what's wrong. Captain Zhou doesn't care. Tell the brigade leader and the old Party Secretary. The only real village cadres in our Hongxing Brigade are the brigade leader and the old Party Secretary. Captain Zhou is just a figurehead. He only gets the same number of work points as everyone else."

But Widow Sun was so stubborn. No matter who tried to persuade her, she insisted that she and Sun Hua had been together for a long time; if they tried to persuade her further, they would say that she and Sun Hua were having an affair and that she was willing to turn herself in.

Everyone was furious. "You're willing, my foot! You're willing!"

The brigade leader and the old Party secretary had already realized that Widow Sun was preparing to fight Sun Hua to the death.

Exactly, Widow Sun is still too foolish. The premise of fighting to the death is that the strength is equal. Why do they all hate Sun Hua but can't do anything about him? It's because Sun Hua has a cousin who is the director of the county committee. What does Widow Sun have?
If the committee's arguments were reasonable, how could the Li family have disappeared?!

Fortunately, Zhang Taohua persuaded Widow Sun to stop in the end. "Widow Sun had a pretty good idea. She wanted to go to the police station to turn herself in and then accuse Sun Huaqiang of rape."

Lin Yuexi was stunned by her thought process. Putting aside the possibility of officials protecting each other, just the fact that she wanted to accuse someone of rape in front of the police was not a matter of just talking; she needed evidence.

Unlike the committee, where people can be arrested just by saying something offhand.

Moreover, it wouldn't be difficult for the police to interrogate you. You've been born and raised in the countryside your whole life, so you don't know anything. The police have all sorts of interrogation methods, and they can find out in no time what you ate when you were two years old.

If you make a false accusation, you can be guilty of a crime yourself.

This is ridiculous.

However, Lin Yuexi quickly understood Widow Sun's thoughts.

She's actually already amazing.

For the same reason, she lacks experience; the fact that she thought of bypassing the committee to go to the police is already quite remarkable.
