Chapter 430 Admit defeat
When Yi Zhonghai and Widow Bao put on their clothes and came out of the room, everyone looked over.
Unexpectedly, although there were tears in Bao Widow's eyes, she looked calm.
On the contrary, Yi Zhonghai wished he could find a hole to crawl into at this moment. He looked so miserable. He had never been so embarrassed in his life.
Since things have come to this point, Village Chief Wang no longer tried to hide the truth and spoke directly to the point:
“There are some things that everyone knows, and we can’t just draw conclusions about right or wrong because difficulties do exist.
This situation is not uncommon in other places.”
He said this to the villagers, not wanting to make a big deal out of it. He wanted to remind everyone not to dwell on it. They were just an adulterous couple, but their circumstances were understandable.
Yi Zhonghai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then he heard Village Chief Wang suddenly change the subject and continue with a serious expression:
"But! Since it has already happened, it must be resolved!
Bao Qian, I don't want to get into the details of your past. Now tell me honestly, were you forced into this?"
Widow Bao gave a bitter smile when she heard this. She knew from the way she was addressed that she was not considered a member of Wangjia Village, and she also heard a hint of warning and disgust in the tone of voice.
Because before her husband died, she was affectionately called "Wang's daughter-in-law" and "daughter".
Although the situation is different now, we should at least call her "Damin's mother", right?
After all, she has three sons with the surname "Wang", which means she has a solid relationship with Wangjia Village.
Although keeping a widow was previously voluntary and considered morally corrupt, if the matter gets out of hand, it could be very disadvantageous to oneself.
But she still gritted her teeth, stretched out her arm, pointed at her neck, and cried:
"Uncle, I was really forced to do this. Look, my hands and neck are all bruised.
He also threatened me, saying he would harm my three children. You have to stand up for me!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately went into an uproar, and the aunties and grandmas all shouted, "How shameless! Don't let this old guy go!"
"That's right! Wang Damin and his three boys are from our Wang Village, after all. How can they let outsiders bully them?"
Some young and old men, seeing the bruises on the widow Bao's white wrists and neck, were filled with righteous indignation and could not help cursing in their hearts:
"This bastard is playing it pretty fancy! He's too ruthless. Why would such a beautiful village girl be so cheap as to be yours, an old man!"
However, they didn't dare to say this out loud. They could only roll up their sleeves and wait for everyone to rush over so that they could punch them a few more times to vent their anger.
The village chief could only stabilize the situation again, looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked: "Master Yi, what do you say?"
How could Yi Zhonghai dare to admit such a thing, so he hurriedly explained:
"It's unfair. What a misunderstanding! I brought so many things to your door, why did you have to force me?"
If you are caught in the act, you will definitely not be able to deny your adultery, but it is not the end of the world. However, if it is classified as rape, you will be in trouble.
Yi Zhonghai was also very annoyed at this time and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Widow Bao, you are too cruel!
You really want to torture me to death! In the past few years, no matter what, I have given you so many benefits and raised three little bastards. You are so ungrateful!'
Yi Zhonghai's explanation actually had some effect. Although the two were cousins on the surface, everyone knew how dirty they were in private.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Everyone is so indignant, not necessarily because they sympathize with the widow, but because they feel offended by outsiders running wild in their village. This is a sense of territoriality.
Village Chief Wang thought for a moment and said, "Master Yi, if you two keep insisting on your own opinions, there's no way this matter can be resolved peacefully.
You are a city worker, and it is not easy for our village to detain you and investigate thoroughly to get to the bottom of the matter.
But this happened in Bao Qian's home, so you are not in the right no matter what.
You'd better give an explanation yourself, otherwise I will have to report it to my superiors and I won't be able to give everyone an explanation."
The old village chief actually had a friendship with Yi Zhonghai and had received gifts from him before.
Therefore, he was the one who suppressed all the rumors in the village, and the widow's family also benefited from it, so he had a clear conscience.
But now everyone is watching, he can't openly help Yi Zhonghai, otherwise he will lose the support of the people, which is his foundation.
Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while before asking in a pleading tone, "Village Chief Wang, can we talk alone?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a bad tone, as if asking why he carried us on his back?
He quickly pleaded for mercy, "Don't worry, everyone. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation later!"
Village Chief Wang nodded, comforted everyone, and then walked out of the yard.
When they were alone, he got straight to the point and cursed angrily:
"Old Yi, look at what you have done!
Don't expect me to suppress it. I suggest you pay a little price to settle the matter and give everyone an explanation.
As for threatening the child, you must also provide a guarantee. You are forcing me to fight you to death. What nonsense!"
Yi Zhonghai nodded and agreed. He was mentally prepared to spend money to avoid disaster, and this was also the best method he could think of.
He sighed and said, "Ah... You really can't blame me entirely. Bao Qian actually tricked me as well. She was just saying that out of anger.
Forget it, I won’t say any more. Village Chief Wang, please help me speak up for me later. Try to keep this matter within the village. If it gets out, it will be bad for your village.”
What Yi Zhonghai feared most was that the news would spread into the city and become known to everyone.
So the two of them discussed how to compensate the widow and how to shut everyone up.
The result made Yi Zhonghai feel very painful, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, otherwise he might not be able to leave Wangjia Village safely today.
Finally, he finally asked the question in his heart: "Village Chief Wang, everyone turned a blind eye to it before, so why did a large group of people suddenly kick down the door and barge in today?
I haven't offended anyone in Wangjia Village, but they seem to really want to kill me.
Don't worry, I don't want to take revenge on anyone, I just want to know where I got into trouble."
Village Chief Wang replied speechlessly, "It has nothing to do with the village. He didn't even know he was being followed!
As soon as you enter the village, someone will spend a lot of money to ask the villagers to arrest you.
What kind of year is this? Although there is no hatred, they are not relatives or friends. How can the villagers resist the temptation? "
Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched. He had been very careful and even took a detour, but he didn't expect that he was still tricked. He had to admit that the other party was a master.
He subconsciously thought that it might be Cao Anping, judging him by his own experience. After all, he had hired someone to track and investigate the other party.
So he hurriedly asked, "Is the person following me quite young and tall, like a scholar?"
Village Chief Wang shook his head and replied, "I don't know. That person didn't come to me, but I heard he's not tall, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks."
Yi Zhonghai fell into deep thought. Recently, he had the most conflicts with Cao Anping and Liu Haizhong.
The so-called free conviction means that some things do not actually require evidence.
This made him so angry that his teeth itched. He had suffered a great deal today and he was determined to take revenge!
