After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 251, Episode 0264: We can be witnesses.

"Oh~"

Everyone around gasped.

They were from the Hongliu Brigade, which was the closest brigade to the Production and Construction Corps. The Hongliu Brigade was formerly called Wangjia Village, and as you can tell from the name, almost everyone in the village was from the Wang family.

Their ancestral home is in Fujian Province. Back then, the Japanese invaded from Fujian Province. All the soldiers in Fujian Province were wiped out. The Japanese occupied the major cities of Fujian Province. The people had no way to survive. Some hid in remote mountain valleys in Fujian Province, while others traveled long distances to the northwest or northeast to escape.

The people from Hongliu Brigade were the ones who escaped from Wangjia Village in Fujian Province back then.

At that time, Wangjia Village was a large village with a total population of nearly 3,000. When the Japanese invaded, the young people went to the front line, leaving only a group of elderly people and children in the village, less than 500 people.

With the front line lost, the old clan chief of Wangjia Village knew that their village would inevitably be slaughtered by the Japanese. Wangjia Village was the village with the most troops sent out from the vicinity, and the Japanese would definitely use them to establish their authority.

So they made a quick decision and the whole village left overnight, fleeing to the northwest.

Not to mention the hardships along the way, when they arrived here, less than two hundred remained after more than five hundred years.

They escaped here supporting each other, and it was only thanks to a good clan leader that they were able to reach this place safely.

Otherwise, they'll fall apart and ruin themselves halfway through.

The old patriarch set many rules, and everyone followed them, which is how the Wang family's roots were preserved.

Therefore, the Wang family values ​​rules very much. Even in this new era, when the outside world is liberating this and that, the Wang family still follows the rules.

The first rule of the Wang family is that family members must not harm each other. Violators will be punished according to the severity of their offenses, with the most severe punishment being that the entire family be expelled.

For the Wang family, who are very strict about clan rules, kicking them out was no different from offering them peanuts.

That's why everyone looked like they'd seen something eerie when they heard Wang Xiaoni push Wang Xiaoxiang into the river.

Wang Xiaoni herself turned pale with fright. She did dislike her cousin, which was why she always went against her, but she really didn't mean it. She just... just...

Wang Xiaoni herself didn't say anything.

“Aunt Chun, you’re talking nonsense. How could I possibly push my cousin? She’s mentally challenged and I’m the one taking care of her. If I wanted to harm her, I would have just ignored her. She’s always running around and has already lost herself.”

Many villagers agreed with this statement.

“Xiaoni is right. I remember when Xiaoxiang first became mentally challenged, she was really silly. She would often go out and run around. Sometimes she would run into the mountains behind the village and disappear for days. Once, we had to ask the soldiers next door for help to find her.”

Another chimed in, "I remember too. Xiaoxiang's hair was messy and her clothes were torn. If the soldiers hadn't explained that she had fallen into a hole where they were hunting wild boars, we would have thought she had been bullied."

"That's right, I remember Xiaoni also spent two days searching with Captain Wang."

Everyone chimed in, confirming that what Wang Xiaoni said was true.

Aunt Chun and Aunt Feng were furious, but they were powerless to refute them because what they said was the truth. Wang Xiaoni was a girl with a big mind despite her young age, and she was very nice on the outside.

The two women were Captain Wang's neighbors, one on his left and one on his right. After Xiaoxiang's mother passed away, it was sometimes inconvenient for Captain Wang, a grown man, to take care of his daughter, so he had to trouble his neighbors.

In addition, Aunt Chun and Aunt Feng were both warm-hearted people, and Wang Xiaoxiang was sensible and well-behaved since she was a child, making her particularly easy to take care of. Over time, the two of them began to raise Wang Xiaoxiang as if she were half a daughter.

After Wang Xiaoxiang was traumatized and became mentally impaired, the two of them took turns watching over her, fearing that something might happen to her.

But they also had their own families, and couldn't really keep an eye on Wang Xiaoxiang all the time. Several times, she disappeared without their notice. However, the inability to watch her constantly allowed them to discover another side of Wang Xiaoni through their close observation.

Seeing their daughter, whom they had raised like a second daughter, almost lose her life, even Aunt Chun and Aunt Feng, who were both very good-tempered, became anxious.

Feng's mother pointed at Wang Xiaoni and started scolding: "You're such a good actor. I used to think you were a good person. Every time I made something to eat for Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang would share half with you. I didn't care then. Now I regret it so much. If I give food to a dog, the dog will wag its tail at me. But you, you ingrate, your reward is pushing Xiaoxiang into the river."

Feng Ma is both a martyr's family member and a military family member. Her husband was one of the villagers who went to the front lines and never came back. One of her sons is serving in the army in the south, and the other is in a nearby military unit. Therefore, Feng Ma is highly respected in the village.

She is usually low-key and never gossips in public. Her words are more credible to the villagers than those of Wang Xiaoni, a young girl.

Wang Xiaoni clearly understood this. As soon as Feng Ma finished speaking, she immediately looked like she had suffered a huge blow, slumped to the ground, and looked at Feng Ma with hurt and sadness in her eyes.

“Feng Ma, you can’t ignore my life just because you’re biased towards my cousin. Everyone has their own eyes to see how I treat my cousin. Back then, you said I talked to that person, and the rumors in the village that I stole my cousin’s boyfriend are still circulating. Now my cousin has taken a fancy to a male educated youth. I was afraid she would get hurt again like last time, so I stopped her halfway and tried to persuade her. She pushed me away and jumped into the river by herself. Can you blame me for that?”

Aunt Chun, who was originally going to speak first and then follow up with Feng Ma, was stunned and couldn't finish her sentence.

Wind Mom: "???"

They were people who had worked together for most of their lives. When Feng Ma saw Chun's stunned expression, she guessed that Chun might not have seen clearly whether Xiao Xiang was pushed into the river by Xiao Ni.

Good heavens, this is a big problem.

If Xiaoni hadn't pushed Xiaoxiang into the river, the two old ladies wouldn't have cared, but Xiaoxiang's reputation might have been ruined by them.

Knowing that they already have difficulty finding partners because of past events, if they were to be accused of being 'ungrateful' or something similar, they would be in even greater trouble.

Just as the two were exchanging glances, Wang Xiaoni's eyes revealed a smug look when she saw that the two had nothing to say to each other, while the surrounding villagers were whispering among themselves and even pointing at Feng Ma and the others.

“We can provide the testimony.”

A loud male voice came from outside the crowd.

The villagers immediately made way, looking at the newcomers with curiosity.

A moment later, four figures appeared before everyone.

Two young female comrades and two young male comrades.

"Hiss~ Where did this pretty old lady come from? Could she be a new educated youth?"

"It shouldn't be. The newest educated youth arrived a month ago. We saw them when we went to work. There's no such person here."

"He's definitely not an educated youth. Look at what he's wearing: a polyester shirt, kayaks, and black leather shoes. That outfit would cost at least fifty yuan. Which educated youth who came to the Northwest would dress like that?"

"Wow~ It's like wearing a cave dwelling on my body!"

“I recognize the woman next to her. She’s a female educated youth from the third team. She’s incredibly strong and gets full work points almost every day. Many male comrades can’t work as well as her.”

"Those two men don't look like ordinary people."

"Idiot, look at how they're standing there. Think about it and change their clothes to all green, understand?"

Oh, I understand!
