Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 23: Reversing the Facts

Out of helplessness, he could only fight back. The old branch secretary said this very well. Tao Qiuyi gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

The old branch secretary is a capable person.

The words "fighting each other" made the Wei family almost vomit blood in anger.

"Old Party Secretary!" Li Yuegui was the first to jump out and refute. No matter how much pain she felt, she couldn't stop herself from clarifying the facts. "You can't just listen to what this little guy says. You have to listen to what we say too. She hit us, and we were beaten by her. It wasn't a fight she said."

In the fight, she didn't even touch the edge of Tao Qiuyi's clothes, but her face was swollen like this.

Zhou Mei followed up with, "Old Party Secretary, she really was the one who beat us. It wasn't a mutual fight like she said. You can't just listen to her words and jump to conclusions. This little kid is very cunning and has a very bad heart."

"How dare she speak nonsense and distort the facts in front of so many people, including you and the captain? If we let her go this time, who knows what she might do next time that could kill someone."

"Old Party Secretary, please don't believe her sophistry. She doesn't tell the truth. Don't be fooled. We should quickly have her arrested and sent to a labor camp with her murderer grandfather. Only then will our village have peace."

"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" The old branch secretary frowned and looked at Zhou Mei unkindly.

Zhou Mei's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to her mind. She was about to explain that she didn't mean that... but Boss Wei grabbed her hand and signaled her with his eyes not to speak anymore.

Zhou Mei then remembered that the old branch secretary held a very high status in the entire First Brigade and always kept his word. If the old branch secretary was upset, it would be useless even if the fourth brother went to mediate.

Seeing that her eldest daughter-in-law had offended the old branch secretary, Li Hongying swallowed what she wanted to say and dared not speak again.

Li Yuegui and Wei Laosan always read people's faces. Seeing that their mother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, they thought it would be better for them to keep quiet since their words were not influential.

Just one sentence was enough to shut up the Wei family members. Tao Qiuyi blinked her watery eyes and looked at the old branch secretary, feeling very envious. When would she be as prestigious as the old branch secretary?

Unfortunately, now is not a good time to seek advice. I have to finish what I should do first.

Taking out the team leader's handwritten marriage certificate, Tao Qiuyi walked up to the old branch secretary and team leader and said, "Team leader, old branch secretary, please both of you be sure to testify for me. My grandmother, uncle, aunt, third uncle, and third aunt all say that I forged this marriage certificate myself."

"Captain, old Party Secretary, I'm innocent, even more innocent than Dou E. Even if you gave me ten or a hundred guts, I wouldn't have the guts to forge a marriage certificate."

Oh, calling grandma and uncle is so easy to do. You didn't show any mercy when you beat people before. Everyone's perception of Tao Qiuyi has been refreshed.

Before the team leader could say anything, the old branch secretary glared at Tao Qiuyi and said, "Put this away and put it away properly. If you take it out and show it to others casually, what will you do if you lose it?"

Tao Qiuyi was stunned and felt that what the old branch secretary said made sense. He folded it up and put it back in his pocket with a vigilant look on his face.

The team leader felt that Tao Qiuyi was like a little fox. He looked at the old fox branch secretary again and sighed for himself.

"I wrote the marriage certificate for Comrade Jingyuan and Xiaotao, and I also stamped the brigade seal with my own hands." The brigade leader said loudly.

"I was there when the team leader wrote the certificate and stamped it, so I can also provide the proof," the old branch secretary added.

Wei Jingyuan's eyelashes trembled a few times with his eyes closed, but he soon calmed down.

Seeing the team leader and the old branch secretary come forward to testify, the crowd of onlookers easily accepted the fact that Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi were married. However, several members of the Wei family could not accept it and looked at the team leader in disbelief.

"Fourth Brother, is everything you said true?" Boss Wei was the first to question. The marriage certificate was real, and he had written it and stamped it with his own hands.

How can it be?

Feeling cheated by her own son, Li Hongying was so angry that she was shaking all over. If there weren't so many villagers watching the fun, she would have wanted to beat the team leader to death.

"Old Four, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Hongying demanded harshly, "The marriage certificate in Xiao Qianren's hand was clearly forged by her. As the team leader, how could you lie so openly?"

Yes, the fourth brother was definitely lying with his eyes open, and the other members of the Wei family nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Li Hongying was still trying to make trouble unreasonably, the old branch secretary was so angry that he blew his beard again.

The captain frowned and explained, "Mom, I'm not talking nonsense, nor am I lying. I'm telling the truth. I wrote the marriage certificate for Jing Yuan and Comrade Xiao Tao myself, and I stamped it with my seal."

"You...you..." Li Hongying was very angry when she saw that her son did not listen to her.

Isn't it said that mother and child are connected by heart? How come her son doesn't understand her inner thoughts at all? The fourth son is her most promising son, but also the most disobedient of the four sons.

It is said that the youngest child is the most obedient and listens to his mother the most, but this youngest child is rebellious and opposes her in everything.

The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!

"Laosan, how could you harm us like this?" Wei Laosan accused the captain dissatisfiedly.

"Third brother, please explain clearly, how did I harm you?" The captain refused to accept the unreasonable accusation.

"You..." Wei Laosan was so angry that he glared at the captain.

"Fourth brother, you just promised mother this morning that you would find a way to get this little brat out of the Wei family. As soon as mother left, you wrote a marriage certificate for her and Jing Yuan. How could you fool mother like this?" Sister Zhou looked at the captain with a complaint.

"Yes, Lao Si, how could you deceive mother and us?" Li Yuegui questioned the team leader. She spoke more directly and harshly than Zhou Mei.

The captain was accused of deceiving his mother and was very angry.

Seeing the team leader being blamed and questioned by his mother and brother, the old branch secretary just shook his head.

Tao Qiuyi spoke up at this time, "The old branch secretary and the team leader have testified that the marriage certificate between Wei Jingyuan and me is genuine. From now on, Wei Jingyuan will be under my care. His younger siblings will also be under my care. I have the right to decide any matters concerning the three of them, big or small."

"Today, Wei Jingyuan was called by Brother Dashu early this morning to see Uncle Li. He ate a few mouthfuls of food when he came back, then went back to see Uncle Li. I don't know who called him back, but he was beaten half to death by his grandmother, Comrade Li Hongying. The twins, a boy and a girl, were also beaten by their eldest aunt and third aunt, respectively. The scars on their faces are proof of that."

"I want to ask," Tao Qiuyi looked at the Wei family. "Are the three Wei Jingyuan siblings your blood relatives, or are they enemies with a deep-seated feud? Grandma beat them with a bamboo broom without mercy, and your uncle, aunt, and third uncle and aunt didn't try to stop them, but instead watched coldly."

"I don't know if the cut on Li Zi's face caused by her aunt will leave a scar after it heals. As a blood relative, how can you still be considered an elder if you act so viciously?"
