However, Lin Xiaomei is not popular and no one believes her at all. She forced someone to commit suicide and she is still being aggressive here.

Regardless of whether she was right or wrong, everyone sided with the weak. The key point was that Jiang Yanqiu looked like she was about to die. But he held her hand tightly. This was not the case for stealing.

One of the aunts spat and cursed, "Bah! You're still holding onto Jiang Zhiqing's pants with your chicken claws! Are you trying to untie his belt to see if he's awake?"

"You just pushed someone to suicide yesterday, and now you're stealing things. Do you want to keep him alive?"

"Not only did you drive her to suicide and sickness, but you also stole her money while she was unconscious. How can you let this little girl live?"

……

In this day and age, everyone keeps their money in their crotch, and Lin Xiaomei's hands were pinned to her waistband by Jiang Yanqiu, so it was useless to quibble.

In addition, Lin Xiaomei has a bad reputation in the village and has offended many people. Even the famous local shrews cannot argue with her, so everyone wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to step on her.

Zhao Lanlan was the most shocked. It was only when they changed Jiang Yanqiu's clothes yesterday that they found out that Jiang Yanqiu had a large bag of money.

At that time, she was angry that Jiang Yanqiu had so much money but didn't use it, and cried poor every day.

But the two of them didn't say anything. They helped Jiang Yanqiu change her underwear and put the money directly into the new underwear without touching it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaomei stole her money when she wasn't paying attention.

I used to think that Lin Xiaomei loved to take advantage of others, but I didn’t expect that she would steal money now. Fortunately, she didn’t have any money for her to steal.

Only then did Lin Xiaomei realize that one of her hands was still pinching Jiang Yanqiu's trouser belt, and Jiang Yanqiu was pressing her hand against the waistband.

He immediately said, "You went to the toilet without fastening your belt. I saw you fastening your belt, but you don't know how to appreciate kindness."

But her reason was obviously untenable. How could she know that the person was not wearing a belt when he was covered with a quilt?

Lin Xiaomei also reacted quickly, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but then she showed an expression of grievance.

She cried to the village chief, "Village chief, you have to make a decision for me! Jiang Yanqiu pretended to be sick to frame me! She could swim, but she still jumped into the river to commit suicide. She wanted everyone to think that I harmed her, thinking that this way she could take over her capitalist style.

And now she is pretending to be unconscious, just to avoid working in the fields. Didn’t you hear her loud shouting just now? She was so strong that she pulled my hand and I couldn’t get away! Look at her like this, how can she be sick? She is clearly pretending!

As Lin Xiaomei spoke, she began to sob, her voice growing louder and louder, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Yanqiu, her face full of tears and said: "Jiang Yanqiu, how could you treat me like this? You knew that I could swim, but you still jumped into the river to commit suicide. Isn't this clearly a frame-up for me? Do you think everyone will be fooled by your little tricks? Let me tell you, I am not someone who can be bullied so easily!"

Lin Xiaomei became more and more excited as she spoke, and her emotions grew more and more intense, as if she had found an outlet to vent all her dissatisfaction and anger.

She pointed at Jiang Yanqiu and continued crying, "You want to get everyone's sympathy? You think that will make others pity you? You are wrong! Everyone here has experienced the suffering you have endured, and some have even endured ten or a hundred times more suffering than you.

When I first came to the countryside, I was not used to the life here just like you, but I did not choose to escape. Instead, I faced the reality bravely.

Even though my hands were covered in calluses and my skin was broken, I persisted in going to work without a single complaint. I knew that only through hard work could I change the status quo. And you, however, only use such despicable means to deceive everyone. How despicable!

My first year, I didn't know how to use a sickle, and I accidentally cut my leg. It bled a lot, but I still insisted on limping on to work. Because if I didn't work in the fields, I wouldn't get work points to exchange for food, and if I didn't cook, it would affect the interests of other educated youth.

Those female educated youth never showed any sympathy to me and even threatened to throw my luggage out if I didn't work.

Later, when there was not enough food, they refused to lend me any food. They bullied me every day in various ways, fearing that if they were nice to us, we would become dependent on them.

If I wasn't capable, I don't know how much I would have been insulted by them. If I had jumped into the river to commit suicide after being wronged, I probably wouldn't have been able to make it out.

I've been very kind to you, allowing you to eat the vegetables I grow. But when I first arrived, the old educated youth wouldn't even let me touch the vegetable plots.

You jumped into the water and committed suicide to frame me, and now you're framing me for stealing. Will you be satisfied only if I die? If that makes you feel better, then I'll die. Anyway, everyone dislikes me and wants to bully me.

After saying this, Lin Xiaomei wanted to take the opportunity to break free and escape from here.

At the same time, she wanted to use this method to scare Jiang Yanqiu. Who wouldn't want to gain sympathy by dying?

But she couldn't break free at all. Jiang Yanqiu still held her tightly, and she had no chance to escape.

Jiang Yanqiu combined the unfamiliar memories and realized that her current situation was very bad. If she didn't say anything, everyone would believe Lin Xiaomei.

She forced herself to say, "You want me to tie my belt? I'm pretending to be sick to avoid working. Don't tell me these nonsense. My hands and feet are cold now. My whole body is so cold that I wish I could cover myself with more quilts. I'm covered with quilts, so how could you see that I didn't tie my belt? Do I need your help to tie my belt when I'm covered with quilts? And what's in your pocket?"

Lin Xiaomei subconsciously pressed her pocket and said, "Then the money in my pocket is you. Do you think only people from big cities deserve to have money, and us country people don't deserve to have money? Not only do you look down on us country people, but now you think the money in my pocket is yours. Why didn't I realize you were so great before?"

Lin Xiaomei's words were inflammatory. Jiang Yanqiu usually looked down on people from the countryside. She ignored people when they talked to her and had a sad face all day long. She was not likable at all.

Thinking about these people who had just accused Lin Xiaomei, they began to waver, and although Lin Xiaomei was a bit aggressive, she should not steal anything.

Lin Xiaomei noticed the changes in everyone's expressions and felt very proud.

She continued, "And do you have money? If you had money, why didn't you get medicine when you were sick? If you had money, why didn't you buy food and eat our food? Do you think we are fools? And when Zhao Lanlan and I changed your clothes yesterday, I didn't see any money in your underwear."

Lin Xiaomei is now in a dilemma. If she takes out the money, she will really be a thief, and her reputation in the village will be completely ruined.

If things go wrong, you might be sent back to the Youth League Office, where you will only be assigned to a place with even worse conditions. You might even be sent to a farm for reform, where you only work and don't even have enough to eat.

Now I would never admit that the money belongs to Jiang Yanqiu.

Drag Zhao Lanlan into the water and give her half of the money. Given Zhao Lanlan's situation, she will definitely not refuse.

Jiang Yanqiu looked at Zhao Lanlan without saying a word, and everyone also looked at Zhao Lanlan to see what she would say.

Seeing this, Village Chief Zhao asked Zhao Lanlan, "Is Zhao Zhiqing like this?"
