Chapter 252, Episode 0265: This person is dangerous.
It's not that the people in Hongliu Brigade are all particularly discerning, but rather that a relatively large number of people from Hongliu Brigade have joined the army in the past two years.

The Northwest Corps next door was greatly affected by the group led by the Jin family. From top to bottom, some were arrested, some were dismissed, and some were punished. Even the most junior soldiers were implicated.

This resulted in a shortage of troops in the Northwest Corps.

With the border region in turmoil, they had no choice but to temporarily conscript soldiers from nearby areas.

The Hongliu Brigade seized this opportunity, and all the young people signed up, with more than a dozen being admitted.

Because they live close by, the children can often come back during holidays. They all grew up under everyone's watchful eyes. The difference in their temperament between those who have served in the military and those who haven't is deeper than the sea.

So the people in the Red Willow Brigade were really good at spotting whether someone was a soldier. They could tell at a glance that Xu Shan and Xiao Ye were definitely soldiers, and they were the kind who had been in the army for quite a while. They even noticed the calluses on their hands from handling weapons, and the bulges on their waists hidden under their clothes.

Ordinary soldiers might not even encounter a gun, let alone develop these calluses. It takes several years or even more than ten years of hard training to develop them.

An elderly man who appeared to be of high standing stepped forward. "You say you can prove it? Did someone on your side see it, or did someone report it to you?"

Lin Yuexi and Xu Shan both looked at Xiao Ye. Although Xu Shan could shout to prove it because he had the loudest voice, the person who actually saw it was Xiao Ye, who had been following behind Wang Xiaoxiang.

Xiao Ye didn't shirk responsibility; he stepped forward and told the old man everything he had seen, even explaining what Wang Xiaoxiang and Wang Xiaoni had said because of the distance.

I didn’t hear what the two said, but I could see their actions clearly. “Comrade Wang Xiaoxiang seemed very angry at the time. She rolled up her sleeves and turned around as if she was about to fight someone. Comrade Wang Xiaoni was standing behind Comrade Wang Xiaoxiang at this time. I saw her reach out and push Comrade Wang Xiaoxiang off the bridge.”

"After Comrade Wang Xiaoxiang fell into the river, Comrade Wang Xiaoni did not make any other statement. She just stood on the bridge and watched Comrade Wang Xiaoxiang struggle in the river until I jumped into the river to save her. Only then did I hear her calling for help."

“I wasn’t very close. It took me about ten seconds to run to the shore and jump in.”

The old man and the surrounding villagers all understood what Xiao Ye meant, and they all looked at Wang Xiaoni with surprise and a hint of fear.

They had seen sisters fighting each other before. On the contrary, they were poor here, and every family was struggling to make ends meet. To put it bluntly, it was difficult to even have enough to eat. Girls were rarely valued. Most people valued boys who could do heavy work more. Girls were basically just someone who could be supported. It was all too common for sisters to fight each other for survival.

But that's nothing more than putting a little eye drops on your parents, or trying to earn a few bites of food, or at worst, slacking off or doing something bad. How can it be so directly harmful?

Although they are cousins, they are still blood relatives. How could you do this?
If you can do that to your own sisters, what about to other people?

Everyone who looked at the seemingly frail and delicate Wang Xiaoni felt a chill run down their spine.

With Xiao Ye's testimony, Feng Ma's spine straightened immediately, and she straightened her back. "I knew it was you who did this. How can you be so heartless? Before, you would only steal Xiao Xiang's things. When we tried to stop you, you would cry as if we were bullying you. Every time, we were the ones who were talked about behind our backs in the village. This time, your uncle only has Xiao Xiang as his only son. Even if you don't care that he is your uncle, he is still a veteran who has returned from the army. You even harmed his only relative. With your moral character, I have no face to admit that you are one of our villagers."

Lin Yuexi: "..."

Good grief, that's a huge overkill!
First, he explained that he had once ridiculed the villagers, almost pointing out that they had been completely blind;
Then, he pointed out that Captain Wang was a retired veteran and reminded the villagers not to treat today's events as a family affair and to be confused behind closed doors. There were several soldiers present, and the matter needed to be explained to the military.
Finally, the most ruthless point was pointing out that Wang Xiaoni had a problem with her ideological awareness. These days, the most dangerous thing is someone with questionable ideology; even if you're not inherently bad, being associated with them will make you stinky. It's clear that Feng Ma was using their influence to thoroughly expose Wang Xiaoni. While she did use them, it wasn't offensive. As Feng Ma said, Captain Wang was a retired veteran, and these soldiers would naturally side with him, especially since Wang Xiaoxiang had suffered a great injustice.

Even if Feng Ma hadn't stood up for her, they would still have supported her.

The captain also saw through Feng Ma's plan and subtly glanced at Lin Yuexi and the others.

There's also an advanced brigade selection here. This year, because their brigade has the most kids going to join the army, the commune has already subtly hinted that their brigade will most likely be selected as an advanced brigade this year.

There was nothing to compete for in the past for being an advanced brigade. The people in that brigade weren't greedy for those honors, after all, there were no benefits to be had except for the title.

But this year is different. I heard that they built a power station that generates electricity from the wind. They don't know how the wind generates electricity, but that's not important. All they know is that this year's advanced brigade will have preferential access to electricity.

Who wouldn't fight for that?!
The battalion commander really didn't want to lose the title of advanced brigade, which was basically in his grasp, because of the current situation.

But looking at the motionless group of people, especially the way that fairy-like girl was looking at him, for some reason, even though she seemed to have just glanced at him casually, he felt a sense of fear that made every pore on his body stand on end.

Instinct: This person is dangerous; I must not offend them.

The old man pondered for a moment, then thought, "Fine, fine, at worst we'll just delay the power supply. Besides, it's the people from our own village who are doing the maintenance; we don't want the higher-ups to laugh at us."

The brigade leader called a man to his side and whispered, "Go to the commune and report to the police on your bicycle."

The man was a little taken aback, "Huh~?"

Is it that serious?

Should we really call the police?

The captain didn't say much, he just patted him on the back.

The man understood, and disappeared around the corner.

Although the captain wasn't speaking loudly to the man, everyone's eyes were on him, and everyone saw him tell his son to leave.

No one thought of reporting it to the police. Villagers were used to resolving issues within the village itself, and no one expected the brigade leader to be so decisive this time. Even Wang Xiaoni, one of the parties involved, thought he was sending the man back to the village to call her parents.

Wang Xiaoni wasn't afraid of that. Her parents had been eyeing her third uncle's things for a long time. They knew that when she finally made a move against Wang Xiaoxiang, they would only praise her and not blame her.

Thinking this, Wang Xiaoni felt much more confident. She glanced at Wang Xiaoxiang, who was being held in Feng Ma's arms, and looked at her with an arrogant gaze, as if she were looking at something dirty.
