Chapter 1535: Chapter 1410: Abstract Rural Love
The crowd was not yet shocked by the content of the conversation, as they were first led astray by another train of thought—
Old Lady Zhou, was she originally this righteous?
Even Song Tan rarely looked stunned.
This was Old Lady Zhou! The sa Old Lady Zhou who would accuse others of not growing good cabbages when she stole one, now standing up for Old Man Li, even to the extent of poisoning…
Could this be love?!
Wu Lan was even more dumbfounded—honestly, given her understanding of Old Lady Zhou, the idea that Zhou would poison just to ss with everyone’s minds out of boredom seed more in line with her character than defending Old Man Li!
The policen were also intrigued—they once had a case where an old man passed by Zhou’s house, and she accused him of fancying her and approaching on purpose…
Now… a sunset romance?
Old Lady Zhou was still thrashing around in the car, but Song Tan was unperturbed. He leisurely leaned over, “Care to elaborate?”
“Exactly!” Wu Lan also caught on, “You can’t just falsely accuse soone without evidence! Who’s occupying whose land? We’re doing legitimate business and the money was real, wasn’t it?!”
The policen didn’t stop them, their eyes wide open and watching.
Song Sancheng imdiately reached for his phone, “Slow down, slow down, I’m having Xiaolun drive to bring Old Man Li here!”
In case they were colluding, they’d take them both away.
anwhile, Song Tan rembered, “There was also another young girl from the courier, caught together… in the room next door.”
At the sa ti, Chen Yuan had already backed up the video and directly handed over the USB stick.
The policen: … How is everything so efficient and professional! It made them look quite amateurish.
And when the door next opened, the girl was crouched there, hugging her knees, her cheeks flushed. As the door opened, she opened her mouth, but without another word, she dashed out, only to be caught by the ready Chen Yuan!
The girl paused.
Then, with a “wah,” she burst into tears, “I need to go to the bathroom…”
But Chen Yuan didn’t loosen his grip—he had seen too many people trying to escape with various excuses, whether won, old folks, or children… So he tightened his grip, just about to detain her and push her into the car, when Song Tan said, “It’s fine, let go—the bathroom is over there.”
The restrooms in the factory building were split left for n, right for won. After she dashed in, she didn’t co out for a long ti. The policen couldn’t help but worry: “Can soone climb out from behind the bathroom?”
How to climb? It was connected to the courtyard wall, sealed off.
Song Tan shook his head, “It’s okay, let’s wait a bit; she might be sorting herself out in there.”
Broken pride probably takes so ti to collect.
In fact, she figured this girl was definitely not an accomplice, but since Chen Yuan ntioned her being sneaky, it was better to clear things up.
Old Lady Zhou was still hurling insults from inside the car, her stream of consciousness jumping from sour strawberries years ago to sumr geese pecking her, to Qiaoqiao shalessly peeking at her, then back to Lao Song’s family’s landlord ways, exploiting Old Man Li…
This genuine outpouring of emotion even made Master Jiang frown deeply, “Is he looking for a partner in old age? If he’s eyeing Old Man Li, I doubt his son would agree…”
You never know, Old Lady Zhou might still have so savings tucked away. Marry her father, and she’d be part of their family, maybe find ways to extract so money, full of potential!
——If Old Man Li’s son were present, he might truly agree on behalf of his father.
Whoa!
The crowd was eating up the gossip, each spicier than the last, wondering how Qiaoqiao got dragged through the mud too. Who wants to look at this old lady! She’s already 70!
At this mont, the roar of a car engine from afar signaled the arrival of Secretary Xiaozu, rushing back from town, followed by Lun Chuan and others who had just fetched Old Man Li, arriving at the factory one after another.
Now everyone was gathered.
Lun Chuan drove fast; though the distance wasn’t far, Old Man Li was still feeling dizzy when he got out. Just as his legs were still wobbly, he heard Old Lady Zhou saying Lao Song’s family had taken over his old house…
Huh?
Old Man Li was also puzzled.
How was it “taken over”? They paid him a large sum at the ti! Even for his barren hills, he was paid generously, his son was so pleased that he fussed over him for a long ti, even built him a little house!
Though…
Old Man Li, being of his age, may not fully grasp everything, but he was content with it.
Now he helped patrol the back hill daily, took care of himself in his spare ti, had a small wage and his own things to do. In another village, what elderly wouldn’t be envious of his life?
How could he have been forcibly taken over?
At this mont, he glanced at Song Tan, whose expression was inscrutable, and quickly interrupted Old Lady Zhou, “Nonsense! No one took anything! Who took it? I sold my house, what are you blabbering about?”
The little old man then looked at Secretary Xiaozu, who was also watching intently from the side, and felt even angrier—he couldn’t fill out the new rural cooperative dical insurance, it was the Secretary who helped him! How can she spout nonsense and ruin his reputation!
In the future, if he needed help in the village and the Secretary got unwilling, what then!
He turned and glared at Old Lady Zhou, “Old Lady Zhou, stop talking nonsense, you’re just bored and want to fra people! Black-hearted!”
“I used to walk past your house between so fields, and you said I wanted to take advantage of you, purposefully peeking at you, pah! How shaless! I don’t live near you anymore! We won’t see each other, so don’t throw mud on !”
The onlookers thought this rural love story was too exciting!
What is this? Old Lady Zhou mistaking her feelings and poisoning for love, Old Man Li rejecting the overtures?
Let’s just say, even if this love was abstract, it wasn’t nonexistent, right? Otherwise, what was Old Lady Zhou after?
Who knew Old Lady Zhou’s insults were indiscriminate, “I spit on you, Li! You coward, what are you proud of? You flatter Lao Song’s family, giving away all you had!”
“Don’t think I don’t know, you gave away that old yellow ox of yours without asking for a penny!”
“I watched at that riverside every day, every day, and finally saw your yellow ox! If not for flattering them, why give them the ox? That ox sold for eight or ten thousand, who believes you gave it away for free? You’re just a cowardly bootlicker! I’ve watched that ox for many years, you used to purposely peek at , why not give it to ?!”
“Pah! Dog man!”
The two hurled insults across the car door, the onlookers almost going through two bags of sunflower seeds! Old Man Li trembled, his beard quivering as he jabbed his finger at her, his eyes wide like copper bells!
Old Lady Zhou wasn’t fazed a bit!
Her hands were cuffed, and her small feet kicked the car door with thumps, the police around furrowing their brows—
They were concerned for the official vehicle too!
