Chapter 33: Yi Zhonghai's Massive Social Controversy
Chapter 33: Yi Zhonghai's Massive Social Controversy
Entertainment was scarce in those days, so whenever there was something exciting to watch, everyone would flock to see it.
At this moment, more than a hundred people had gathered around Lao Mo in three or four layers.
This is a great opportunity, an excellent opportunity.
Old Mo took a deep breath, carefully thought out his words, and made thorough preparations.
Then he shouted to everyone, "Do you think this is the lowest level of shamelessness Yi Zhonghai has ever shown? No, the most shameless things are yet to come!"
That bastard, together with the deaf old woman, drove He Daqing away. He Daqing was forced to abandon his six-year-old daughter and sixteen-year-old son and leave for another place.
He Daqing would send a dozen yuan or so for living expenses and some receipts back to his six-year-old daughter every month.
But this bastard abused his power as an elder to intercept people's letters and remittances for more than a decade.
This led to someone's six-year-old daughter and sixteen-year-old son going out to rummage through trash cans and scavenging for food.
That bastard has no compassion whatsoever. Not only did he not give the person any living expenses, but he also put on a sanctimonious act when the person was starving and about to die, giving them a couple of steamed buns and expecting them to be grateful to him.
He tricked He Yuzhu into becoming his henchman. For twenty years, he poured all the money he earned from his work into the bottomless pit of his apprentice's family.
This kind of heartless scum is regarded as a moral benchmark by you, and has dominated the courtyard at No. 95 for decades.
This is the real Yi Zhonghai, a level eight fitter. A hypocrite who appears respectable but is actually dark-hearted and vicious to the extreme.
Old Mo spoke very quickly and clearly, giving Yi Zhonghai no chance to interrupt, and rattled off his prepared remarks in one breath.
Yes, he didn't just want Yi Zhonghai dead. He wanted to destroy his spirit as well. Using his advantage as a time traveler, he would first crush Yi Zhonghai in the mud, and then utterly destroy what Yi valued most.
Yi Zhonghai was completely numb. He looked up at Lao Mo in horror and swallowed hard.
How did he find out about this?
His fists clenched tightly, and he felt an urge to rush forward and tear Old Mo apart. Unfortunately, he knew he couldn't beat Old Mo.
The entire audience erupted in uproar and outrage.
"This Yi Zhonghai, is he really that kind of person?"
"My God, what kind of bastard is this? Is this even human?"
"That can't be right, Yi Zhonghai seems like a very upright person!"
"Who knows! You can know a person's face but not their heart!"
"Yi Zhonghai, tell me, did you do this? Are you even human?"
The onlookers cheered and were excited.
"No, no, no, that's not true. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly, but his words lacked any real conviction.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he's guilty.
Chen Qingshan gestured for everyone to be quiet: "Quiet, quiet, everyone be quiet."
Then everyone remembered that there were police officers present, and they quieted down.
However, this is so infuriating that they will not stand for it unless the police give them an explanation.
Chen Qingshan stared coldly at Lao Mo: "Comrade Chen Jinmo, do you have any evidence for what you're saying? If you don't have any evidence and are deliberately making things up, spreading rumors, and defaming the reputation of an eighth-grade fitter, you will be held legally responsible."
The scene fell silent, and all eyes were on Old Mo.
They all hoped that Old Mo could produce evidence. If he just talked nonsense, stirred up their emotions, and then turned out to be lying, it would be a huge disappointment for them.
Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists, his calves trembling. His sinister eyes were fixed on Lao Mo.
Old Mo smiled calmly and said loudly to everyone, "Fellow villagers, isn't it easy to get evidence? Sending money and letters always leaves a record. Just go to the post office and check, and you'll know everything, right? Don't you all agree?"
Yes, just go to the post office and check, then you'll know everything.
As soon as Lao Mo said this, everyone got excited.
"Yes, yes, go to the post office to check the receipt."
Someone shouted loudly.
Some people poured cold water on the idea.
"Are post office receipts so easy to check? They won't show them to you unless the person involved goes to the post office in person."
"Aren't there police officers here? Intercepting such a large sum of money is a major case, and the police have the right to investigate."
"That's right, we'll go with them. If the post office refuses to check, that's protecting criminals, and we absolutely won't allow it."
"Yes, with so many of us going along, the post office wouldn't dare to cover it up even if they wanted to."
"Yes, go with her. We must get to the bottom of this. A six-year-old girl, almost starved to death. I used to think He Yushui was a pitiful girl, so thin and weak from hunger."
After hearing this, everyone was reminded of He Yushui, that poor and helpless little girl.
"It's truly remarkable that this little girl has grown up! We must seek justice for her."
"That's right, we need justice, we need justice."
People became even more agitated.
Seeing that the situation wasn't quite right, Lao Mo immediately shouted, "Listen to me, everyone! Come with me to the post office. If it turns out this is all fake, I, Chen Jinmo, will take full responsibility. I'll go to jail if I have to, without any complaints."
"Okay. Since you've said so, Lao Mo, what else is there to say? We'll go crazy with you."
"I never imagined that such a thing could happen in our new country, a country ruled by the people. Old Mo, we support you. Let's all go to the post office."
"To the post office, to the post office."
At this moment, the crowd's outcry reached its peak. They roared, their blood boiling, their passion surging.
Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded; his calves felt weak and trembled uncontrollably.
It's over, it's over.
Chen Qingshan was also dumbfounded.
This is damn bad news!
But it seems the bigger the matter, the better it is for him!
This old man is giving him credit!
What's the point of mediating those neighborhood disputes every day?
This is a big case. If we crack it, it will be a huge achievement!
In that instant, Chen Qingshan's thoughts changed again and again.
He pressed his hand down, finally managing to quiet everyone down.
His cold gaze fixed on Yi Zhonghai: "Yi Zhonghai, I'm asking you, is this true? I'm warning you, if you admit it now, there's still a chance to salvage the situation."
Even if the aggrieved party gives up after going to the post office, the post office will not give up easily.
If this is confirmed, the post office will sue you, and you'll be in big trouble. You'd better think carefully about the consequences before you speak.
Chen Qingshan didn't want to make a big fuss; with so many people rushing to the post office, the sky might fall.
Chen Qingshan was also panicking!
Therefore, he had to scare Yi Zhonghai and force him to tell the truth.
Upon hearing that the post office wouldn't let the matter rest, Yi Zhonghai's legs trembled even more violently.
He can fool Sha Zhu and He Yushui, but he can't fool the post office!
What kind of organization is the post office? Once they start suing him, no one can save Yi Zhonghai.
At that moment, his mind raced, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
Old Mo looked at him coldly, as if watching a clown, waiting to see what choice he would make.
