Chapter 107 What good does knowing the truth do?
Looking at the face so close to hers, she frowned slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his arm and slapped her across the face.

Caught off guard, Tang Weiyu took a step back and immediately covered her face.

Now, he had lost his composure; his eyes were wide with anger, and his tone had risen several notches.

"What are you doing? Haven't you hit me enough?"

Ji Shuyin, however, didn't seem to care and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry, but I can't stand dirty things, especially dirty things in front of me."

"It always needs to be cleaned up, otherwise it'll hurt your eyes, and you can't afford to pay for it."

Tang Weiyu was even angrier when they called her something dirty.

"Hmph, Ji Shuyin, don't try to be clever and ingratiating here."

I know everything. That night, you were the one who hit me.

This is the second time she's said this; I guess it's because time has passed and she's come to terms with it.

But so what!

"You're a really strange person."

When others ask you, just say you saw a ghost.

Now they're trying to pin the blame on me again. Isn't that ridiculous?

She wasn't sure; she figured the person was probably guessing, so she couldn't admit it directly.

"Hmph, you don't need to do that."

I asked around, and it turns out that few of the educated youth went that day; you and Jiang Shi'an were the only two.

Everyone else is going home early, but you live far away and have no one going the same way.

Besides, you're probably the only one who doesn't like me.

You actually went to such lengths to scare me by pretending to be a ghost? You're really something else.

As he spoke, he stared intently at her, as if trying to see something out of a flower.

What evidence do you have to support your claim?

Ji Shuyin wasn't afraid of her. Now she was 100% sure that she had come to confirm her suspicions.

Even though I did it myself, I can't admit it.

The more you do this, the more frustrated the other person will become.

Tang Weiyu had no evidence, but she didn't want to let her off the hook.

After much thought, I became more determined.

"Then dare you swear to God that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"Ha ha……"

Ji Shuyin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"You're being really strange. Why should I swear an oath just because you doubt me?"

You're nothing to me, why should I let you have your way?

As if she had been caught red-handed, Tang Weiyu went completely berserk.

"If you don't dare, then you don't dare. Don't make it sound so high and mighty."

You did it, and Jiang Shi'an too, you two are both murderers.

"Come with me to find the captain and let him judge this for me."

Now that Jiang Shi'an is involved, she can't just sit idly by and wait to die.

That day was a spur-of-the-moment decision on my own, and the other party was only trying to help me, so I absolutely couldn't let him get involved.

Ignoring everything else, Tang Weiyu grabbed her arm and started to head towards the main road.

Ji Shuyin yanked it out sharply.

"Are you sick? You're saying everything yourself, like you're crazy."

What, just because I'm not willing to swear an oath, you think I'm the murderer?

If it were that easy, you could interrogate all the criminals from now on.

As he spoke, he prepared to walk past her and go home.

The other party, however, was relentless and started shouting.

"Everyone come and see! I caught Ji Zhiqing pretending to be a ghost, but he still won't admit it."

That shout really brought people over.

Or perhaps they saw her loitering near Ji Shuyin's door and were deliberately waiting to see what would happen. With more people around, she became even more unrestrained, grabbing a nearby auntie and starting to pour out her grievances.

“Auntie, this educated youth and I have never gotten along.”

Last time, they even took advantage of the rain to deliberately play tricks; this is a matter of principle, and we absolutely cannot tolerate it.

Those people over there were just busybodies.

"Hey, Ji Zhiqing, since it has nothing to do with you, why don't you just make a vow? It won't have any effect anyway."

Well, she held back, wondering if this person had lost their mind.

"You make it sound so easy. She makes me swear an oath, but do you really think I'll just do it?"

Auntie, you're one of our team members, so don't encourage this kind of bad behavior!
Otherwise, if the people from the commune ask about it later, no one will protect you.”

Upon hearing this, the other party also felt that she had exaggerated somewhat.

"It's just a sentence, what does it have to do with the comrades in the commune?"

After saying that, he revealed a slightly sarcastic smile.

I guess they thought she wouldn't dare, so they were just trying to scare her.

"Auntie, you're wrong about that."

This is a new era, where science is valued, and all superstitious and monstrous things are considered feudal superstition.

I don't need to remind you of that, do I?

Naturally, Tang Weiyu was eager for her to admit to the frightening thing.

Besides ruining her reputation, they wanted to use this as an excuse to get her punished by the brigade.

"I didn't say anything, I just asked you to swear an oath to prove your innocence."

At this moment, the aunt is still on the opposing side.

That's the problem with spectators; they always want to stir up conflict between the two sides.

"What do you mean there's nothing wrong?"
Does an oath represent everything?

And, I swear, who was it directed at?
God.

Isn't this feudal superstition, or do you believe these things are acceptable?

When most people mention feudalism, they think of gods and ghosts, so her sudden remark brought that to mind.

That's right, God, that counts too!

The auntie also realized something was wrong and quickly pulled her arm out of Tang Weiyu's hand.

"Oh dear, I didn't think that much about it."

You two should sort out your own problems.

I haven't cooked at home yet, so I'm going back now.

Seeing that the people who supported her were about to leave, she was naturally unwilling to accept it.

He called out several times, but the other person's footsteps quickened.

"Tang Zhiqing, you are maliciously spreading feudal ideas here."

First it was about seeing ghosts, now it's about me swearing oaths. What are they really up to?

I think it's very necessary to have the comrades from the commune come and settle this matter!

This was a classic case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot; Tang Weiyu was furious.

Unexpectedly, Ji Shuyin used her reasoning with unparalleled skill.

"Hmph, don't be so smug. You think you can control me like this? You're wrong."

Anyway, it was you who did it that night; I know it all too well.

As he spoke, he moved closer to her, his voice becoming even softer.

"Ji Shuyin, I'm not afraid of you."

And those things I had last time, you took them too, didn't you?

Sometimes, when people go too far, they will face retribution.

Don't worry, that day isn't too far off.

What? How dare they threaten her like that?

Moreover, the confidence in his eyes didn't seem fake.

"That's right, those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish."

I feel there are some good things I should share with everyone.

As he spoke, he pulled a photo out of his pocket.
