Chapter 23 Call the police!

Not only did Wang Xiulian disagree with calling the police, but the captain also didn’t approve. “That, Ye Zhiqing, let’s forget about calling the police.” The captain stepped forward to stop them. Before Ye Nanyi could speak, Yu Chunxiang immediately said, “We have to call the police. This woman just came here and started talking nonsense. Thankfully, I went to town today. If I had been in the village, I wouldn’t have been able to explain myself even if I had a mouth full of teeth. Besides, if she had successfully slandered me and forced me to marry her stupid son, then we female educated youths would be in danger. Anyone can marry anyone they want, just by saying yes.

Not only would there be no dowry, but I would also have to bring 300 yuan as a dowry.” As soon as these words were spoken, the educated youths who were watching started protesting. “Yes, Captain, we have to call the police about this. Otherwise, how can we guarantee our reputation?” “That’s right, if she succeeds, how can we guarantee our safety?”… The captain’s head was spinning from the educated youths’ words. He glared fiercely at Wang Xiulian.

The villagers around saw that the educated youths were looking at Wang Xiulian and Qi Da’wa with suspicion because of these two scoundrels, and they couldn’t stand it anymore. “Captain, either call the police or solve this matter. Our village’s reputation is ruined.” Seeing the situation, Wang Xiulian regretted letting her eldest son scheme against Yu Chunxiang. She should have listened to her son. Li Zhiqing wasn’t bad either. The captain pondered for a moment, then saw Wang Xiulian thinking about something. “Da’wa’s mother, what do you think we should do about this? Call the police or not? You decide.” Wang Xiulian was a bit at a loss. She was good at making a scene, but if she called the police, she wasn’t sure what would happen. If the police investigated, wouldn’t Da’wa be drowned by the village’s gossip? Ye Nanyi had been observing Wang Xiulian’s expression and had a hunch. “Captain, let’s not think about it anymore. Let’s just call the police.

” Yu Chunxiang looked at Ye Nanyi in surprise and quickly looked away. She didn’t understand what Ye Nanyi meant. Calling the police? What if they found out something? Wouldn’t the three of them be in trouble? The captain still didn’t want to call the police. He pretended to ask Wang Xiulian, but he was actually giving her a way out. “No police. I’ll take Da’wa away first.” Wang Xiulian’s mind was in a mess, but she decided not to call the police. The captain also breathed a sigh of relief and then warned, “I’m saying this again. Don’t do anything sneaky.

 If you affect the village, don’t blame me for being merciless.” After the captain finished speaking, he left with his wife, Ma Cuifen. When the villagers saw the captain leave, they dispersed. The educated youths also breathed a sigh of relief. If Wang Xiulian had succeeded, they would have been in danger. “Everyone, go rest. We’ve been going back and forth all day.” Liu Sheng saw that Yu Chunxiang and Li Yao didn’t look good, so he suggested. The rest of the people didn’t dare to go up and ask, after all, it involved Yu Chunxiang’s innocence. Saying too much would be bad for the female educated youths’ reputation. Yu Chunxiang silently followed behind Ye Nanyi. When she saw everyone going back to their dormitories, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Ye Zhiqing, why did you keep suggesting calling the police? What if…” Yu Chunxiang didn’t finish her sentence, but Ye Nanyi understood.

“Only by insisting on calling the police will Wang Xiulian stop pestering you. Even if the police come, Qi Da’wa is already a fool and can’t provide any evidence. Who would believe a fool’s words? Besides, the captain won’t agree to call the police. If the police come, it will be bad for the village’s reputation.

 The whole village’s eligible men and women will have to be scrutinized.” After listening to Ye Nanyi’s explanation, Yu Chunxiang finally understood. “Okay, Yao Yao and I will discuss our plans to move out.” Ye Nanyi nodded, opened the dormitory door, and turned to enter her space. When she got to her space, Ye Nanyi quickly filled the bathtub with spiritual spring water and soaked in it. When she was in the bathtub, Ye Nanyi saw the birthmark on Qi Da’wa’s wrist, and this body felt fear. It seemed that Qi Da’wa had also hurt the original owner!

 But she thought back for a long time and couldn’t find any useful information. Ye Nanyi decided to stop forcing herself to think about it and buried her head in the water. It was at this moment that the thing she had been unable to figure out for a long time suddenly became clear. It turned out that Qi Da’wa had tried to assault the original owner while she was washing clothes by the river. The original owner fought back desperately, and Qi Da’wa, enraged, pressed her head into the water. If Wang Xiulian hadn’t arrived in time, the original owner might have died. Understanding the whole story, Ye Nanyi regretted not listening to Yu Chunxiang and killing him directly.

 But sometimes, living is more painful than dying. After figuring everything out, Ye Nanyi no longer dwelled on it. Soon, she went to meet the Duke of Zhou. The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Ye Nanyi took her backpack and ax and prepared to go to the mountain. “Huh, Ye Zhiqing, you’re up so early!” Liu Lili was going to town today, so she also got up early. She didn’t expect Ye Nanyi to be up even earlier. “Yeah, I’m going to cut some more firewood on the mountain.

” Liu Lili didn’t ask any further questions. The two of them went to their destinations. Ye Nanyi went to the mountain. As usual, she put the thick firewood in her space and bundled the smaller ones. She put them in her space first and took them out when she was close to the foot of the mountain. After collecting all the firewood, Ye Nanyi realized that she was hungry. She realized that she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. She found a tree stump to sit on and started eating breakfast. While she was eating, she seemed to see some ground cherries. Ye Nanyi was excited. These berries were not only sweet and sour, but they could also be made into jam and candied fruit. They were also very nutritious. Ye Nanyi glanced at the bun in her hand. She quickly finished it, picked up her backpack, and walked towards the ground cherries. When she got there, Ye Nanyi observed them.

The ground cherries were purple-red, which meant they were fully ripe. Ye Nanyi picked a ground cherry, took out her military water bottle from her space, washed it, and couldn’t wait to put it in her mouth. The taste was indeed great, much better than the ones she bought online in her previous life. Looking at the large patch of ground cherries in front of her, Ye Nanyi exclaimed that she had struck gold. She was going to make candied fruit and jam out of this huge patch of ground cherries. It would definitely be popular. Ye Nanyi originally thought she could directly put the ground cherries into her space, but she tried several times and it didn’t work.

She had no choice but to pick them slowly. After picking them, she put them into her space. By the time Ye Nanyi finished picking, it was already late. She quickly rushed down the mountain. When she was close to the foot of the mountain, she took out three bundles of firewood. As soon as she put down the firewood, Ye Nanyi saw Wang Xiangdong, whom she disliked. She rolled her eyes and prepared to enter the dormitory through the back door. Wang Xiangdong had finally waited for Ye Nanyi. He quickly grabbed her arm. “Ye Zhiqing, wait. I have something to tell you. Just give me five minutes.”
