Chapter 10

arrying a man with a bruised face, swollen features, and a bloody bandage around his head back on a stretcher."Oh dear, Jianhua, you need to be more careful next time! Don't roll off the riverbank aga...Róng Zhāonán narrowed his eyes, and before he could speak, Tang Zhēnjīn couldn't stand it anymore.

She wasn't here to see two men protecting Ning Yuan.

Tang Zhenzhen glared with a black face and looked at Huang Xuerong and Tan Xiaoxia on the side: "You guys speak!"

Tang Zhenzhen looked at Huang Xuerhong and Qin Xiaoxia: "Xuerhong, Xiaoxia, do you think the things in this cookie tin disappeared this morning"

Huang Xuehong hated Ning Yuan to death, nodding frantically: “That’s right, I saw it with my own eyes. Zhenzhen’s money and food were gone this morning, Ning Yuan stole them!”

Qin Xiaoxia stammered: "The things in this box, Zhenzhen, are gone. There's only five yuan left."

She didn't lie, she just spoke ambiguously. As for what others think, she can't control it.

As soon as the two of them testified, the crowd buzzed with discussion.

Especially Tang Zhenzhen has always been popular among the educated youths. Plus, Ning Yuan "self-deprecating" and mixing with bad elements from Beijing's countryside resettlement.

The following educated youths all spoke up in support of Tang Zhenzhen.

"That's right, everyone else is already at work this morning, but you're not."

She is an upright person. Yesterday, when she thought something had happened to you, Ning Yuan, she even ran away without her shoes to get people to help you!

"That's right, Ning Yuan, you stole someone's things without a conscience!"

Li Yan saw the anger on the faces of the young intellectuals and turned to Ning Yuan, his brows furrowed: "Ning Yuan, you..."

He was about to say something when a cold, faint voice suddenly interrupted him: "You haven't seen Ning Yuan stealing with your own eyes. Words without evidence are worthless. Do you have any proof"

Ning Yuan looked at Rong Zhaonan, who had been silent all this time, a little surprised. He was always taciturn in front of everyone because of his "special" status.

This time, she even spoke twice in a row and helped her talk

As soon as Rong Zhaonan spoke, everyone's attention immediately focused on him.

Huang Xuehong angrily pointed at him: "You bad guy, it was you who corrupted Ningyuan and made her steal things!"

Her outburst of anger immediately resonated with both Zhiqing and the villagers.

"That's right, maybe it was him, the bad guy, who told Ning Zhiqing to steal things!"

"You see, Ningyuan wasn't like this before, she wouldn't even resort to violence, she must have been influenced by bad people!"

......

Ning Yuan listened more and more, finally understanding why Rong Zhaonan always kept his presence low and rarely spoke in front of others.

Those who have been labeled as bad people, even the innocent ones.

Whenever something bad happens in the group, most people blame this person!

This is the power of prejudice!

"Hold on! This has nothing to do with Doctor Rong. I didn't steal anything in the first place, let alone money! I have evidence!"

Ning Yuan couldn't help but step in front of Rong Zhaonan, shouting with all her might.

Suddenly, it drowned out the other people's noisy and contemptuous insults.

Li Yan gave Rong Zhaonan a cold glance. You're just making things worse!

Then, he looked at Ning Yuan and said in a deep voice: “Comrade Ning, if you have any evidence, just bring it out. The team won't wrongly accuse an innocent person.”

As soon as Li Yan, the squad leader, spoke, the villagers and the educated youths fell silent.

Ning Yuan turned and entered the small hut beside the cow shed. A moment later, she came out in a hurry, holding something up: "Tang Zhenzhen, is this what you meant by cookies and candy"

Since material resources are extremely scarce now, it's quite a big deal for "high-end cookies and candy."

After decades, talking about current events feels like a joke. However, Tang Zhenzhen mostly uses this as a springboard for her creative expression.

Ning Yuan had a bag of cookies and a small handful of Big White Rabbit candy left in her hand.

Tang Zhenzhen's eyes lit up immediately, and she pointed to her hand: "My green longevity biscuits and big white rabbit toffee!"

Ning Yuan, this idiot, even brought out all the evidence.

Wait a minute... I need more sugar!

Tang Yanjan glared angrily at Ning Yuan: "You stole my stuff again, there are only five white rabbit milk candies left, and my jade chili peppers!"

These candies and cookies are impossible to find in the countryside, she wouldn't just eat them casually!

Ning Yuan said coldly: "This is something my relatives sent from Shanghai. Why can't I eat it"

"You're lying! This was sent to me by my family from Shanghai!" Tang Zhenzhen sneered.

Ning Yuan gave it to her, and it was hers!

Huang Xuěhóng also covered the bump on his head and shouted loudly: "Yes, we all saw it, it was sent by Zhēnjīn's family!"

As soon as Huang Xuehong finished speaking, the people around him began to discuss it again.

"Now I don't know what else Ning Zhiqing has to say. He went to the countryside for support construction, at least he isn't stealing our stuff anymore."

"...tsk..."

Ning Yuan suddenly took out an envelope from her pocket without any expression: “This is my evidence, with a Shanghai postmark on it. You can see what it says.”

Tang Zhenzhen was taken aback, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Why is Ningyuan still keeping this shipping label Several months ago, she watched the other person throw it in the trash!

Li extended her hand to take it, looking at the package slip and reading aloud: "One box of Longevity Cookies, one bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy. Recipient... Ning Yuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Ning Yuan has evidence, the sugar is hers.

"Well, I've already proven that I have candy and cookies. What about you How do you prove that things belong to you" Ning Yuan sneered.

The cookies and candy she herself couldn't bear to eat, which she gave to Tang Zhenzhen, became the evidence this woman used to frame her.

Fortunately, later on, for the sake of collecting stamps, she kept a Shanghai postmark stamp and retrieved the package slip before throwing it away.

Tang Yan's face turned a little pale, and she unconsciously squeezed Huang Xuehong's arm: "That only proves that you had cookies and candy. You already ate your cookies and candy, this is mine!"

Huang Xuehong's chubby arms were being squeezed, making them hurt. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Rong Zhaonan leaned against the cart and suddenly said, "Whoever makes the claim, they have to provide evidence. Now that she has provided hers, it's your turn. What evidence do you have Is there any mark on that jade chili pepper"

Tang Zhenzhen glared angrily at him: "Xiaoxia and Xuerhong both saw me receive the package. Besides, it's not your turn to speak, you bad guy!"

How did she know there were markings on the jade chili carving!

Li Yan gave Rong Zhaonan another warning glance, intending to silence him.

But he still addressed Tang Zhenzhen seriously: "Comrade Tang, whoever makes the claim needs to provide evidence. Besides your fellow educated youths, what written proof do you have that these cookies, candy, and jade chili peppers belong to you"

Tang Zhenzhen bit her lip, blushing under everyone's gaze. "Testimony alone isn't enough, and I don't have much to say. Let's just say that the cookies, candy, and even the jade chili peppers are hers. I must have misunderstood. Alright"

Saying that, she put on a wronged expression and turned to run!

She has witnesses, Ning Yuan has physical evidence. Anyway, this matter is unclear, and Ning Yuan's reputation won't get any better.

Kening Yuan didn't know when, she came over and stood in front of her, coldly saying:

"Wait a moment, Tang Zhiqing, you just want to leave like this"

Tang Yan was angry and said, "Is that what you want"

Ning Yuan let out a cold snort. "But I care, and I'm five dollars short. Now I suspect that five dollars in your hand is stolen from me!"

Not only Tang Zhenzhen, but even Huang Xuehong, Li Yan and a group of others were dumbfounded.

What does this mean

But Rong Zhaonan, after covering half his face with a mirror lens, flashed an odd look in his eyes, staring at Ning Yuan, as if thinking deeply.

Tang Jiani looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say!" water back to the cow shed all the way.In the late autumn afternoon, under the brilliant sunshine, Rong Zhaonan saw a figure running towards him from afar.The girl's two braids swayed back and forth,...
