Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

"The village knows about your family's situation, but let's be honest, your family's situation is not considered difficult in our village, and it's not to the point of being out of food and clothing. Your father taught you that since you were a child, so how could you do such a thing?"

Undoubtedly, Secretary Wang's words were a huge psychological blow to Fang Jili.

He cried even harder on the spot.

"I don't think it's just Jili's fault. We have been friends since we were young. I know his personality. It's definitely not Jili's intention from the beginning. I think there may be other people involved, but Jili doesn't want to say."

Someone in the crowd made a bold hypothesis, which was soon agreed upon by several other people, and even the village chief nodded.

"Among all the young men in our village, this kid is the most honest and sensible. I can trust the other monkey-like youths to be organized to go into the mountains to hunt game, but there is no need for Jili to do so."

Hearing that the village chief was speaking for him, Fang Jili burst into tears.

"Tell me quickly, who is the person who instigated you and even went up the mountain with you?" Secretary Wang calmed down and sat back in his chair in the office.

"Village chief!" Suddenly, Su Wanwan and Xu Yan walked in side by side at the door, followed by Zhong Qingqing who lowered her head and sobbed softly.

"Of course I went up the mountain with Zhong Qingqing! If Zhong Qingqing hadn't proposed it first, I believe Fang Jili would not have gone up the mountain by himself for no reason." Su Wanwan said as she took a small step aside to make it easier for Secretary Wang to see Zhong Qingqing who was hiding behind her with her head down.

"Why are you here again?" When he saw Zhong Qingqing's face, Secretary Wang frowned and subconsciously pressed his temple with his right hand.

"I put Jili in the clinic to learn nursing knowledge from you so that you could train him, not so that you two could do something like this! Do you know what this is? You went to places that are not allowed in the village! And... you even shot a rabbit like this!"

In a hurry, Secretary Wang almost stuttered.

"Tell me, your secret trip to the mountain will have a very bad influence on the young people in the village! And! Did you go into the mountain just to hunt these rabbits? What did you do after you hunted them? Did you secretly roast and eat them?"

Zhong Qingqing, who came in behind Su Wanwan and Xu Yan, kept staring at Fang Jili's expression in front of her. Seeing that he lowered his head even lower than hers, she was undecided for a moment.

I don't know if Fang Jili has given her away...

"After dinner...can't we go out for a walk?" Zhong Qingqing said in a low voice.

"Do you call that a walk?" Su Wanwan smiled, suddenly bent her upper body, and rolled up one of Zhong Qingqing's trouser legs a little bit——

"Do you really need to go for a walk so deep into the mountains? There are so many small grass grains stuck in your trouser legs?"

Zhong Qingqing, who was exposed by Su Wanwan on the spot, no longer argued, but just lowered her head dejectedly and stopped talking.

The two of them, together with Fang Jili who was standing next to them, were like two silent wooden stakes.

When the people who brought Fang Jili back saw the grass grains and mud marks on Zhong Qingqing's trouser legs, they immediately spoke more confidently -

"You see, Secretary Wang, this is exactly what we guessed. It's definitely not Jili who suggested going up the mountain to hunt these wild animals."

Although the speaker did not say the second half of the sentence, everyone present knew that his words were directed at Zhong Qingqing.

It's not his fault that he said such things. Ever since the villagers found out that Zhong Qingqing asked Yan Wenming to go to Su Wanwan's house to ask for money, Zhong Qingqing's reputation in the village has been completely ruined.

Even though she hadn't appeared in public for some time, the villagers' opinion of her had not changed at all.

"Is that so? Fang Jili, I'll give you one more chance. Tell me the whole story."

Secretary Wang tried his best to calm his tone and attitude, but whether it was because he was scared or for other reasons, Fang Jili lowered his head deeply, and no matter what others asked or said, he refused to utter a word.

Secretary Wang had no choice but to turn his head and look at Zhong Qingqing helplessly.

"Tell me, who was the first to suggest going up the mountain to hunt these things, you or him?" Secretary Wang half-stared at Zhong Qingqing.

The seriousness of this problem is self-evident.

"It's just... I saw some rabbits on the mountain. I haven't eaten meat for a long time anyway, so I wanted to try my luck."

Privately, she glanced viciously in the direction of Su Wanwan. Zhong Qingqing gritted her teeth and tried her best to say this in a wronged manner.

"You haven't eaten meat for a long time. Have you ever thought about the other people in our village? They are in the same situation as you. Why are you the only one who can't help but go into the mountains to hunt? Why don't others go?"

Secretary Wang coughed when he got to this point. "So you're saying that you two discussed it together, and no one proposed it first, right?"

Fang Jili still kept his head down in silence, but his eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of Zhong Qingqing with his head lowered deeply, and his meaning was obvious.

Of course, he hoped that Zhong Qingqing would put aside all his responsibilities and take all the blame himself.

After all, it was Zhong Qingqing who proposed going into the mountains to hunt and took such a big risk.

However, the fact is that Zhong Qingqing did not respond, neither confirming nor denying.

It is equivalent to directly agreeing with Secretary Wang’s words.

"Well, since the two of them decided to go up the mountain to hunt, I think it would be better for the two of them to deal with it together, Secretary Wang." Upon seeing the situation, Su Wanwan understood it clearly in her heart, but she did not expose it.

Zhong Qingqing and Fang Jili had repeatedly disrupted the progress of her factory, and this was the retribution they deserved.

What's more, before leaving the clinic last time, she had warned Zhong Qingqing that if she dared to go into the mountains with Fang Jili again, she would suffer the consequences.

But this time, before she even had the chance to notice it, she happened to run into this scene.

"Ji Li, please say something. We all trust you." Some of the young men around Secretary Wang became anxious and reached out to pat Fang Ji Li, who was like a wooden stake.

"That's right. With your personality... Everyone knows that our Party Secretary Wang is not an unreasonable person. Yes is yes, and no is no."

No matter how Ren Ping and the others tried to persuade him, Fang Jili remained silent.

"Okay then, neither of you two should go back to the clinic today."

Secretary Wang held the teacup in his hand and waited for a while. Seeing that Fang Jili still didn't respond or even move, he simply waved his hand and called a young man nearby, saying, "Go to Fang's house and call Fang Jili's father over."

As an educated youth sent to the countryside, Zhong Qingqing naturally had no family members present.

"Don't... Secretary Wang... I really don't dare to do it again. Can you please not let my father know..."
