Chapter 32
Behind Gu Zhenxi, there were people watching the fun in the compound where she lived. People these days would watch the fun, no matter how big the event. And because of the tight employment situation in the city, many people were unemployed, and there had been no reform and opening up, so self-employed people were doing things quietly and engaging in speculation. As a result, many people were bored and had nothing to do at home.
Early yesterday morning, after Gu Zhenxi’s family reported the incident to the police, when the police arrived, everyone realized there was something exciting to watch, so they followed along to watch the whole thing.
First, Gu Zhenxi burst into tears. The Gu family acted as if their daughter had suffered a great injustice. They told her about the rumors that had been going on in the compound during this period and hoped that the police would investigate the matter thoroughly to avoid ruining their daughter’s reputation.
Then the police questioned several families and finally found the Youth League Office, where they finally found out the source of the rumor.
This morning, the police went to Gu’s house to look for them. The family of three explained the situation and said that the results of the investigation had been found. They needed to go to the Youth League Office to confront the people on the spot.
After all, if what the other party says is false, then it is a rumor.
As a result, the comrades in the Youth League Office stated with certainty that Bai Runruan had said what she had said herself, so a large group of people came to find Bai Runruan.
“What’s going on with these two girls? They look really similar.”
“Yeah, the thing about signing up to go to the countryside on behalf of others, can’t it be true?”
“I think it’s pretty close, but the little girl looked so sad when she was crying, maybe she really didn’t do it?”
Gu Zhenxi listened to the discussions behind her and felt proud. In the end, Bai Ruanruan would not be able to produce any evidence to prove that he was the one who signed up to go to the countryside on her behalf.
Later, she will accuse Bai Ruanruan of being a capitalist and unwilling to go to the countryside to build the village, and see what Bai Ruanruan will do.
After the incident became a big deal, Bai Ruanruan had a bad reputation, and she could also use this incident to explain the rumor in the compound that she liked Bai Ruanruan’s fiancé.
As for her signing up Bai Ruanruan to go to the countryside, there was no solid evidence at all. Even the police could not convict her of a crime, and the people in the compound had no right to say anything about her. If she heard about it in the future, the worst that could happen was that she would quarrel with the people in the compound. As long as she was a little more aggressive and took the initiative to show that she was spreading rumors about me, we would report it to the police, and those people would definitely not dare to talk about her behind her back.
After all, it is better to have less trouble than more. After a long time, everyone will forget about it.
Then her reputation is still good.
“Sister, we must make this matter clear today. Our Zhenxi treats you as our closest relatives. How could Ruanruan slander our Zhenxi behind her back?” Fu Xiujun looked heartbroken. She looked at Bai Ruanruan like that, as if Bai Ruanruan had done something bad behind her back to frame her own daughter.
“Comrade Bai, you have to explain clearly. It was you who told me in person that it was your cousin who signed you up to go to the countryside. I did not make up rumors,” said the comrade from the Youth League Office.
Bai Ruanruan didn’t know what rumors people in the compound had spread about Gu Zhenxi. She just thought that Gu Zhenxi was trying to argue that she had never signed up for the rural service, so she said, “Cousin, you don’t have to pretend anymore. I already knew that you signed me up for the rural service.”
“Over the years, although you are my cousin, I have always treated you as my own sister. I would share everything I have with you, but I never thought that you would come to my house to steal the letter of introduction and go to the Youth League Office to register for me.”
Bai Ruanruan said, and she had thrown the feather duster aside at some point. She was wearing a black dress, which made her look even thinner, like a willow in the wind. “Everyone who knows me knows that I am weak. I get sick every winter and need medicine. If I go to the countryside, there will definitely be no good medical conditions. There is only one possibility for me to go to the countryside, and that is I will die of illness in the countryside. How could I, like this, sign up to go to the countryside?”
“At first, I just thought that the Youth League Office made a mistake and registered the wrong information. It was not until I got married and took my marriage certificate to the Youth League Office to modify my information that I met the comrade who registered my information. She looked like she had seen me before and said that it was indeed me who registered for going to the countryside a month ago. I knew that this matter was not simple.”
“You got caught in the rain a few days before and pretended to come to my house to borrow some clothes. You also stole my letter of introduction. Plus, we look alike, so you were able to conceal the fact and sign up for me. But you never expected that, although we look alike, I was much thinner than you because I was taking medicine for my long-term poor health. When I went to the Youth League Office, the comrades there asked me why I had lost weight recently. At that moment, I understood everything.”
As she spoke, Bai Ruanruan’s eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry, “I already knew that you were bothered by the fact that Lu Zisheng had a crush on me, but I never thought that you would want to sign me up to go to the countryside and kill me. I couldn’t help myself and told the truth in front of that comrade.”
Gu Zhenxi was completely dumbfounded. Before she came, she just thought it was Bai Ruanruan and thought that she was the one who did everything. But she didn’t expect that the comrade who registered her information could actually see the difference in figure between her and Bai Ruanruan.
Which comrade brought it up first?
The comrade who was registering the information also nodded quickly at this time and said, “Comrade Bai is right. Look, the two cousins look very similar, but their body shapes are quite different. At first, I couldn’t tell them apart because the girl who registered at that time was dressed the same as Comrade Bai and looked quiet and gentle, so I thought they were the same person.”
“I asked her why she had lost so much weight recently. Comrade Bai hadn’t planned to tell me about her cousin at that time. It was only when I learned that she got married and didn’t want to go to the countryside anymore that I asked her about it.”
“I was really confused at the time, because how could the female comrade who took the initiative to sign up for going to the countryside a month ago get married and cannot go to the countryside in just one month? I just asked her about it, and she felt wronged and couldn’t help complaining to me.”
“I didn’t think too much about it when I heard about it. I just told the comrades who came to relieve me. I even told them not to tell anyone. Who knew it would spread? And strictly speaking, it can’t be considered a rumor. It’s all true.”
The neighbors who came to watch the fun couldn’t help but look at the cousins and began to discuss in a low voice:
“It does seem a little different. Comrade Xiao Bai inside looks a lot thinner.”
“So what the comrades from the Youth League Office said was true, but I didn’t expect that the rumor would change as it spread.”
“But Comrade Gu is really cruel. Look at her cousin, she is so thin and weak. Does she look like someone who can do heavy work in the countryside? It’s obvious that she is not in good health. Look at her pale face.”
“Why else do they say women have the most vicious hearts?”
Gu Zhenxi quickly shook her head, “No, that’s not the case. The comrade from the Youth Office must have remembered it wrongly. I never registered on behalf of my cousin.”
Gu Zhenxi panicked at this time. This was different from what she had thought. What she thought was that as long as there was no clear evidence for this matter, as long as she cried a little more and showed that she was wronged, there would definitely be some people willing to believe her. But she didn’t expect that the people who followed behind to watch the fun would directly believe Bai Ruanruan.
She looked at Bai Ruanruan angrily, wondering if Bai Ruanruan knew that she was going to cause trouble today, so she deliberately gave her a good beating.
Otherwise, why does she look so thin today? And the one with a pale face, Gu Zhenxi felt that even if he had been dead for three days, he couldn’t be as pale as her!
At this moment, Bai Ruanruan was feeling lucky that she had just put on foundation and came out without putting on blush. Doesn’t she look pale and bloodless now?
Because Bairuanruan’s complexion is too white, the foundation she uses in real life is the one she has spent a long time selecting. The whitest shades of many brands are not suitable for her.
She searched for a long time before she found the brand that suits her. After applying it on her face, her skin color was actually similar to that of her neck, but because foundation has some concealing effect, it covered up the blush on her cheeks. She had been drinking Lingquan during this period, which made her complexion look white and rosy, but now it is only white.
Against the backdrop of the black dress, her skin looked as white as snow, and she looked very pale.
With her condition, no one would believe her if she said she would voluntarily sign up to go to the countryside!
Then he thought of another possibility, that Gu Zhenxi wanted the girl to go to the countryside, and he couldn’t help but blame Gu Zhenxi. After all, such a weak female comrade would be in poor health if she went to the countryside, and would be prone to illness, and it would be easy for her to die in the winter.
The medical conditions in the countryside are poor, and any minor illness or pain can easily turn into a big problem. Isn’t this pushing people to death?
It’s so cruel!
