Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

After she said this, the surroundings fell silent for several seconds, and the villagers nearby looked at her in disbelief.

"Is it true?" The villagers' curiosity was aroused and they asked eagerly.

She lowered her head and responded with a bit of grievance: "So I had to go, but later he asked me for money, and I really couldn't give it to him. At that time, Xu Yan came back... He grabbed him for money, and ended up using too much force and hurt his wrist."

She told the truth, but with a few twists and turns.

"Zhong Qingqing, please be careful when you lie. Do you think that whoever gives you candy will recognize you as his father? You are a big liar!" Yan Wenxuan's angry words were like a sharp blade, hitting her directly without mercy.

After being completely exposed, Yan Wenxuan was furious. If it weren't for several strong young men nearby holding him back, he would have pounced on Zhong Qingqing and punched her.

"Who is the one talking nonsense?" After being silent for a long time, Xu Yan finally spoke, with a playful smile on his lips, "Tell me, how much money have you stolen from others?"

"You are simply making a groundless slander. When have I ever touched other people's property?" Yan Wenxuan turned pale instantly, but he still turned his head away and denied it firmly.

"Then I have to ask the guys in your educated youth dormitory." Xu Yan continued to guide the topic.

"Indeed, the meal tickets in the dormitory have disappeared by themselves. The wallet used to be kept in the dormitory, but now it can only be kept close to the body. This 'stealing' skill is really unmatched." A boy from the next dormitory suddenly sighed.

Seeing that Secretary Wang and the village chief were looking at Yan Wenxuan with sharper eyes, Xu Yan stood up from the kang, pointed at the jeep outside the window and explained: "The car was temporarily lent to me by the county leaders when I went to the city to visit my father. It is convenient for me to drive into the city." After saying that, he put his clothes in order without any scruples, grabbed a hoe, walked through the yard, and headed towards the fields of the collective farm.

"Can we end today's business now?" Village chief Su Yang, who was resisting the urge to smoke, sat down and said, "Yan Wenxuan, please stay for a moment." Everyone had no choice but to leave the Xu family's gate one after another, even though they were reluctant.

Only Su Wanwan, the confused Zhong Qingqing, and a few young people with nothing to do were left in the room.

"Get out, do you hear me!" Secretary Wang said in a deep voice. He pushed his glasses back onto his nose, his eyes seeming to be in deep thought.

Su Yang waved his hand vigorously to disperse the remaining people. Only Secretary Wang, the village chief, the sisters of the original resident Xu family, and Yan Wenxuan were left in the room.

"Tell me the truth. Are the valuables in the dormitory really related to you?" After the door slammed, Secretary Wang rubbed his slightly aching eyes, his voice full of fatigue, "We all know your character. Did you think we would turn a blind eye to the fact that Xu Yan beat you?"

Su Wanwan walked outside the courtyard gate, unwilling to go back to the radio station, but thinking that her father was still in the house and that she was kicked out by her father, she felt that it was not appropriate to force her way back in. Besides, there were other people in the house, and witnessing such a scene would always lead to gossip.

When Su Wanwan was about to leave, she planned to go back to the original path after passing the corner of Xu's courtyard, sneak past the side of Xu's house, and maybe eavesdrop on the conversation inside the house through the back window. However, she didn't expect that others would tacitly agree with her.

When I came to the rear window, I found several figures lurking on the side.

"Quiet." A young man quickly gestured to her, asking her not to make any noise.

"Where did Zhong Qingqing go? Why can't I see her?" Su Wanwan asked in a low voice. She was close to the young men and could hear the movements in the house.

"Who knows? Maybe she went back to the educated youth dormitory." These young people didn't seem to care much about Zhong Qingqing, so Su Wanwan simply stopped asking.

"Even the village party secretary understands that you are resentful about Xu Yan not being caught and brought back to the city, and you all think it is unfair not to punish such opportunists. The world is indeed changing." His words were like cold iron chains, making the wound on Yan Wenxuan's wrist even more painful.

"But have you ever thought about it? Xu Yan is a member of our village. Now such a big thing can be handled safely, thanks to the help of his 'backer'. In the future, if there are development projects in the village that need help to smooth out relationships, I'm afraid it will take people like him to help." Secretary Wang's words made Yan Wenxuan's breathing in his chest temporarily stop, and he stared at the other party with wide eyes in disbelief.

Why did Secretary Wang tell him this? Xu Yan was undoubtedly a resident of the village, but he was just an educated youth who was sent to the countryside. What did the future development of the village have to do with him? He just wanted to ensure Xu Yan's death.

"Even if everyone in the village wants to send him to jail in the city again, is that feasible? Will they accept such a prisoner?" Secretary Wang's cold tone broke the stubbornness on Yan Wenxuan's young face and continued, "I heard a little about your bribery in the dormitory from your roommates. Although there is no solid evidence, where did your expenses come from?"

Hearing this, Yan Wenxuan subconsciously clenched his fists and argued, "Couldn't it be that I saved it before?"

"If you really have money, why would you steal other people's porridge? Besides, some young people bring their own lunch, which is often stolen for unknown reasons. And you happen to be nearby at these times." The people who were eavesdropping outside held their breath, including Su Wanwan, and clearly heard every word that Secretary Wang said.

Although she was surprised, Su Wanwan restrained herself, ignored the punishment Yan Wenxuan received, and went straight back to the radio station.

This was beyond her expectations of Secretary Wang's idea.

But if you think about it carefully, this is understandable. After all, as the head of a village, she must consider the welfare of the village.

Allowing Xu Yan to live safely in the village, the Xu family will naturally be grateful for Secretary Wang's kindness, and it will be natural for them to repay the favor in the future.

"Okay, go write a self-criticism of 2,000 words and show it to me later." Secretary Wang stood up tiredly. Before leaving, he did not forget to look back at Yan Wenxuan, "Next time if I find you stealing public funds in the village, the punishment will not stop here. I believe you can't handle it." Sure enough, when Yan Wenxuan heard the second half of the sentence, his body trembled noticeably.

"do you understand?"

Yan Wenxuan nodded subconsciously. He stared at Secretary Wang who left the door with Captain Su, and then sat down on the ground dejectedly. He obviously came here to report Xu Yan on purpose! Thinking of this, the paleness on Yan Wenxuan's face became even more serious, and he clenched his jaw hard. As long as Xu Yan is in the village, this contest will not end!

"Have you seen Xu En?"

Xu Mei ran across the yard into the kitchen and shook her head at Xu Lan who was scrubbing the pot by the stove.

"Before Secretary Wang came, he was clamoring to eat noodles in advance. I refused, and he ran out in anger."

"Let him be. Dad didn't stop him before. As long as he doesn't die of hunger or cold, we won't care too much."
