Traveling through the Great Northern Wilderness and marrying the most beautiful educated youth.

That shout went straight into my ears.

Liu Dahu's hand holding the gun froze.

Outside the crowd, two old-fashioned motorcycles rushed into the gate of the educated youth settlement.

Su Xiaowen jumped out of the car, his face ashen, and shouted from a distance, "Liu Dahu! Put down the gun!"

Village chief Liu Baoguo was faster.

He rushed up and slapped Liu Dahu on the back of the head.

Snapped!

"The gun is for shooting wild boars! Who gave you permission to point it at people?"

Liu Dahu was so badly beaten that he staggered, his face and neck turning red.

"Dad, I'm investigating a case! Don't talk nonsense!"

"You're really stirring up trouble! You're really good at this kind of thing!"

Liu Baoguo snatched the gun and handed it to a militiaman next to him.

Su Qingyun's gaze softened slightly, and she pulled Lin Wanqiu behind her.

He said in a low voice, "The Su family should step back, and the Liu family shouldn't push either."

"Those of you standing on the sidelines watching the show, if anyone tries to stir things up again, don't blame me for getting angry."

Su Qingliang wanted to curse again, but after being glanced at by Su Qingyun, he immediately shut up.

Su Xiaowen walked to the middle and scanned the area.

"What's all the noise about? Is the educated youth settlement a vegetable market?"

Song Jiahui held the half-eaten rice ball tightly in her hand.

"Secretary, Lin Wanqiu stole public grain! Caught red-handed!"

Su Xiaowen ignored her and turned to stare at Liu Dahu.

"Did you see the marriage introduction letter?"

Liu Dahu gritted his teeth: "I saw it, but that doesn't prove anything..."

"I opened it myself."

Su Xiaowen coldly interrupted, "I also stamped the brigade's official seal. The marriage documents of Su Qingyun and Lin Wanqiu are genuine."

The crowd fell silent.

Someone immediately muttered, "If the Party Secretary admitted it, how could it be fake?"

Lin Wanqiu's eyes welled up with tears, and her fingers gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

Su Xiaowen stared at the rice ball in Song Jiahui's hand.

"If you say they stole public grain, then let's investigate the public grain."

He grabbed the rice ball and handed it to Liu Baoguo.

"Baoguo, you're in charge of the grain, what do you say?"

Liu Baoguo broke open the rice ball, looked at it, and then sniffed it. His face immediately darkened.

"No rice in the village has been lost."

Song Jiahui panicked: "Village chief, how did you know?"

Liu Baoguo glared at her.

"The warehouse keys are in my and the accountant's hands, and the rice bag seals were checked just last night."

"Our brigade only has that little bit of rice left for the sick, and their numbers are all written in the logbook."

"I know exactly what's going on."

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers' expressions changed.

"Isn't that stealing public grain?"

"Is Song Zhiqing just making baseless accusations? She's really causing trouble."

Song Jiahui's face turned pale, but she was still unconvinced.

She clutched her stomach, her voice shrill: "If it wasn't government grain, where did the rice come from?"

"Why should she, a backward person, get to eat white rice?"

Su Qingyun finally looked up.

He said calmly, "I gave you the rice ball."

Lin Wanqiu suddenly looked up: "Qingyun..."

Su Qingyun did not turn around.

"I caught fish and roe deer in the reed marshes, and then went to town to exchange them for rice. I made rice balls myself."

Song Jiahui meticulously examined the loopholes.

"You're lying! Who can prove it?"

Su Qingliang immediately jumped out.

"I can vouch for it! Brother Qingyun has been an excellent swimmer since he was a child. He's always been able to catch fish in ditches and streams, and he's always spot one!"

A young man from the Su family also shouted, "He also brought back potatoes and pumpkins today, and he even has fishing nets and animal traps at home!"

Liu Guifen wasn't present, but the Su family all knew about it.

An old man next to him nodded in agreement.

"There were indeed people trading fish for grain at the riverside market."

"The forestry workers have a sweet tooth; their eyes light up when they see wild game."

The crowd gradually quieted down.

These days, who hasn't secretly swapped a handful of salt or a piece of cloth?

As long as it's not public property that's stolen, everyone knows what's going on.

Liu Baoguo coughed lightly.

"Fishing for food is no big deal."

"They didn't steal or rob anyone."

Song Jiahui's eyes were red.

Her plans were completely ruined.

Originally intending to crush Lin Wanqiu, he ended up forcing Su Qingyun's letter of introduction to come out.

She gritted her teeth and pointed directly at Su Qingyun.

"Going to the market to buy and sell things is considered speculation and profiteering!"

The room fell even quieter after those words were spoken.

It exploded with a bang.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Who hasn't gone to the market to exchange goods?"

"Are you planning to send the whole village in?"

The Liu family members refused to accept it.

An elderly woman surnamed Liu jumped up and down, cursing, "Song Jiahui, you heartless bastard! Last time I traded eggs for needles and thread, were you going to report me too?"

The Su family was furious.

"Cutting off someone's livelihood is tantamount to digging up their ancestral graves!"

"Have you gone mad from eating the 'educated youth' rations'?"

Song Jiahui was so frightened that she backed away, but she still stubbornly refused to admit it.

"I...I was talking about the rules! Don't get defensive!"

Su Xiaowen's face turned completely black.

"Long hair, short on brains!"

"Are you blind? The villagers catch fish to exchange for grain, just to survive!"

Liu Baoguo was also furious.

"Stop tarnishing Xiangyang Village's reputation!"

"If word gets out today, you'll ruin the whole village!"

Song Jiahui opened her mouth to refute.

But suddenly my stomach started rumbling.

Her face turned pale instantly.

I was running to the toilet the whole time, so I wasn't done to begin with.

He was surrounded and being scolded by the whole village, and his legs went weak.

"I...I'm not..."

Glug glug.

The sound was louder.

The female educated youth standing next to her changed her expression and quickly backed away.

Song Jiahui squeezed her legs together, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

"Not what?"

Su Qingliang covered his nose and dodged to the side, saying, "Why do you still smell? It's really strong!"

puff--

A loud, smelly fart exploded.

The crowd was stunned.

A foul stench suddenly spread.

"Oh dear, she's soiled her pants!"

Accompanied by a pungent stench, a large patch of yellow stain appeared on Song Jiahui's pants behind her, as she utterly lost face in utter humiliation and despair.

The villagers watching burst into laughter while covering their noses, mocking the scene relentlessly.

"Hahaha, karma's coming on!"

"He spews filth from his mouth, and it can't be contained in his pants!"

"You're even reporting others? Go back and wash your pants!"

Song Jiahui's face turned pale, and tears and snot streamed down her face.

She covered her face, screamed, and turned to run away.

The trouser legs were still dripping.

The crowd reluctantly made way for them.

Even the people who had spoken up for her earlier turned their heads away, afraid of getting a whiff of the smell.

The farce has come to an end.

Su Qingyun didn't look at Song Jiahui again.

He walked through the crowd and stood in front of Lin Wanqiu.

Lin Wanqiu's face was still pale, but her eyes were terribly red.

Despite being pressured by so many people, she didn't utter a single word.

This girl looks delicate, but she's really strong.

Su Qingyun lowered her voice.

"Silly girl, don't shoulder everything alone from now on. I'm here for you."

Lin Wanqiu's tears fell instantly.

She tried to hold back, but couldn't.

I'm afraid of implicating you.

Su Qingyun reached out and directly grasped her cold little hand.

"You are my fiancée."

"Protecting you is my duty."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Lin Wanqiu's cheeks flushed red, but she did not pull her hand away.

That hand trembled softly, but slowly returned to grasp his.

Su Qingliang immediately started shouting, "Sister-in-law!"

Several young men from the Su family joined in the shouting.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Lin Wanqiu lowered her head in embarrassment, her ears turning red.

But a slight smile finally appeared on her lips.

Liu Dahu stood to the side, his face ashen.

Su Xiaowen glanced at him and said coldly, "The militia is there to protect the village, not to act like big shots for you."

Liu Dahu kept his head down, not daring to utter a single word.

Liu Baoguo is a shrewd and experienced man.

Seeing that there was no evidence, they immediately prepared to settle the matter quietly.

"Okay, then forget it."

"However, Liu Dahu abused his power, causing a very bad impact. I think he should go home and reflect on his actions for a few days."

Su Xiaowen seized the opportunity to give them a warning.
