After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 175 The Truth
"Wang Daniu, do you think what you did was perfect?"
Lin Shuyue looked at Wang Daniu coldly. When he met her gaze, Wang Daniu's heart skipped a beat.
Wang Dequan knew something was wrong as soon as he shook out the clothes.
Just now, the reason why he took the initiative to admit that he was the owner of the clothes was because the size of the clothes and shoes could not be argued. It was better for him to admit it himself. As long as they had no evidence to prove that he was the one who spread the rumors, the Lin family would not be able to do anything to him.
But now Lin Shuyue said with certainty that he had evidence, and asked Wang Dequan to bring people over. Could it be that he really had some omissions?
No! Impossible, the only person who knows has already... Miss Lin must be deceiving him, he can't panic, he must stay calm...
"Hey... here they come, people are coming!"
"who is it?"
The villagers stood on tiptoe to look around. Wang Daniu, who had come to his senses, heard what the villagers next to him said and quickly turned around to look.
This sight immediately frightened him so much that his hands and feet went limp. He then saw Wang Dequan and a villager supporting a young man walking towards him.
The villagers immediately recognized the man and asked in confusion: "Eh? Isn't that Wang Erma? I haven't seen him for a few days. I thought he went to the county town to find a job again."
Wang Erma had a miserable life. His parents died when he was young, and he started living with his uncle at the age of six. Although they didn't have big fish and meat, they could still fill their stomachs. Although his aunt was a bit greedy, she didn't abuse him, and they ate whatever food was available at home together.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When Wang Erma was ten years old, his fifteen-year-old cousin, who worked as a waiter in a restaurant in the county, accidentally bumped into a nobleman and was beaten to death by the nobleman.
That nobleman had a close relationship with the local officials of Sishui County at that time. The result can be imagined. Uncle Wang failed to redress the injustice for his son and was beaten up.
Perhaps because he was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, the nobleman left ten taels of silver and left.
Uncle Wang died due to the pain of losing his son in middle age and the severity of his injuries. He left behind his wife Li and his nephew Wang Erma.
Mrs. Li fell ill due to excessive grief over the successive deaths of her husband and son. Wang Erma, who was already sensible, took the initiative to take care of the household affairs, washing clothes, cooking, and collecting firewood. He didn't know how to take care of the crops in the fields, so he shamelessly asked the uncles and aunts in the village for help.
The villagers felt sorry for him, and many of them spontaneously helped him manage the one acre of land in his family.
Unfortunately, Li did not survive and died of illness after more than half a year. At this point, Wang Erma was the only one left in the family, with a house and one acre of land.
"Ermazi, where have you been these days? Why haven't I seen you? How come you've become thinner in a few days? Are you sick?" An older man came forward and asked with concern.
Wang Erma looked at the old man in front of him, his heart warmed, and he smiled with a pale face, "Third Grandpa, I'm fine."
Seeing that he was a little weak, Lin Shuyue planned to make a quick decision. She walked up to Wang Erma and said seriously, "Brother Erma, please tell me what you know."
Wang Erma put away his smile, nodded vigorously, then turned around and glanced at Wang Daniu, who looked flustered.
"My dear uncles, you must be curious about where I have been these days. Let me tell you, I have been locked up in the cellar of Wang Daniu's house these days!"
"What? Are you serious?"
The villagers were very shocked and all stared at Wang Erma to confirm whether they had heard it wrong.
"You heard it right. He locked me up six days ago." Wang Erma nodded seriously and then continued slowly.
"Seven days ago, I found a job as a bag carrier at the dock in the county town. When I returned to the village in the evening, I saw Uncle Daniu walking hurriedly towards the small road at the foot of the mountain behind the village."
"At this moment, I suddenly remembered that Uncle Da Niu had asked me to help him keep an eye out for work in the county town, so I chased him and wanted him to go to the county town with me the next day. Then I could go and ask the manager to take Uncle Da Niu in with me."
"But who knew that Uncle Daniu was walking faster and faster, and his face looked a little gloomy. I thought something had happened, so I followed him secretly."
"Afterwards, I followed him from the path at the foot of the mountain to the path on the left side of the Lin family's house. I saw him squatting at the corner of the Lin family's house, staring at the direction of the lotus pond."
"At the time, I was hiding behind a big tree less than five meters to the left of the corner. Seeing that Uncle Daniu was watching seriously, I also looked towards the lotus pond out of curiosity."
"When I looked over, I happened to see Yunniang kneeling outside the pavilion. Later, the servant next to Master Lin brought Yunniang into the pavilion.
Because of the distance, I only saw Master Lin say something and then leave. After Yunniang left, Uncle Daniu also returned to the village through a small path. "
"At the time, I didn't think about anything else. I just guessed that Uncle Daniu wanted to find a job at the Lin family, but he was a little hesitant when he arrived at the Lin family, so he hid in the corner and didn't dare to come forward."
Wang Erma licked his dry lips and continued, “I thought Uncle Daniu was eager to find a job, so after breakfast the next day, I prepared to find Uncle Daniu and invite him to go to the county town with me.
“When I was almost at his doorstep, I saw him sneaking out of his house in a pink dress.
I didn’t know why I hid myself at that time, and then I saw him jump into the yard of Old Wang, who lived diagonally across from his house.”
"Before I could figure it out, Aunt Qiuju came. She saw that Uncle Daniu's door was closed, so she called Aunt Chuncao's name a few times at the door, but when no one responded, she turned and left."
"But when she turned the corner, she suddenly stopped and leaned against the wall as if she was listening to something. After a while, she left with an excited look on her face."
"Just when I was still wondering, I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my head and passed out."
"When I woke up, I was already in the cellar. I had a bad guess at that time. I must have been discovered by Uncle Daniu."
"Sure enough, after some time, Uncle Da Niu appeared in the cellar with a bowl of water and a steamed bun, and kept asking me what I had seen."
"Because I was scared, I told him everything I saw and begged him to let me go. I also wanted to go to the county dock to work. I would soon be able to save enough money to marry a wife."
“But after I told him everything I saw, he didn’t let me go.
I kept promising him that I would not tell anyone what I had seen, hoping that he would let me go, although I didn’t know what his purpose was in doing those things at the time.”
At this point, Wang Erma pointed at the pale-faced Wang Daniu and said angrily, "But he refused to let me go. Before he left, he even fed me a knockout drug to prevent me from making any noise."
At this time, Wang Daniu suddenly pleaded loudly: "Erma, please stop talking! Please!"
"Uncle Daniu, at this point, do you think you can still hide it?"
Wang Erma was furious when he thought that he had been locked up in a dark cellar for so many days despite having good intentions, which prevented him from going to work at the dock.
He ignored Wang Daniu's pleas and continued talking.
“At midnight the next night, he came to bring me food again, but he seemed to be in a good mood.
I tentatively asked him if he had done anything good, but he actually told me everything he had done.
"It turns out that Aunt Chuncao had developed other feelings for Mr. Lin.
Uncle Daniu was afraid that Aunt Chuncao would leave him, so he secretly watched Master Lin and even disguised himself as a woman to fabricate rumors, accusing Master Lin of having an affair with Yunniang. "
"At the end, he said happily that now that Master Lin's reputation was ruined, Aunt Chuncao would not leave him."
