Chapter 10

nderstand.The atmosphere was a bit eerie. The morning air felt strangely warm, maybe it was just the stove being so hot.Rong Zhaonan rolled his eyes and got up first, "Alright, get up. We can still ta...Rong Zhaonan narrowed his eyes, but before he could speak, Tang Zhenzhen couldn't bear it any longer.

She wasn't here to watch two men protect Ning Yuan.

Tang Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and glared at Huang Xueming and Qin Xiaoxia on the side: “You two speak!”

Tang Zizhen looked at Huang Xuehong and Qin Xiaoxia: "Xuehong, Xiaoxia, do you think the things in this cookie box disappeared this morning"

Huang Xuehong hated Ning Yuan so much that she wished she could kill her. She nodded fiercely: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Zhenzhen's money and food were gone this morning, Ning Yuan stole them!"

Qin Xiaoxiao stammered, "Zhenzhen, the things in this box are gone, and 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 was always popular among the educated youth, plus Ning Yuan "willingly submitted to a lowly status" and mixed with bad elements who were sent to the countryside.

The arriving educated youths all rushed to speak up for Tang Zhenzhen.

"That's right, everyone else went to work early, just you weren't here."

She is an honest person. Yesterday, when she thought something happened to you Ning Yuan, she even ran out of her shoes to get help for you!

"That's right, Ning Yuan, you stole things and have no conscience!"

Li Yan saw the anger on the faces of the educated youths and looked at Ning Yuan, his brows furrowed: "Ning Yuan, you..."

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

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

This time, she actually spoke up twice in a row and even helped her out

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

Huang Xuehong angrily pointed at him: "You bad guy, you corrupted Ning Yuan and made her steal things!"

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

"That's right, he might be the one who instigated Ning Zhiqing to steal things!"

"You see, Ningyuan wasn't like this before, she would never even hit someone. She must have been influenced by bad people!"

......

Ning Yuan listened more and more, finally understanding why Rong Zhaonan always lowered his sense of presence and never spoke easily in front of people —

Those who are labeled as bad, even the innocent ones.

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

This is the power of prejudice!

"Wait a minute! This has nothing to do with Dr. Rong. I didn't steal anything, let alone money. I have proof!"

Ning Yuan couldn't help but stand in front of Rong Zhao Nan, shouting with all her might.

It drowned out the other voices, their noise and insults of contempt.

Li Yan gave Rong Zhao Nan a cold look.

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 wrong an innocent person."

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

Ning Yuan turned and walked into the small hut by the cow shed. A short while later, she hurried out, holding something up: "Tang Zhenzhen, is this what you meant by cookies and candy"

Because material goods are extremely scarce now, they're making such a big fuss over "high-class cookies and candies."

After decades, talking about current events feels like a joke, but Tang Zhenzhen mostly uses it as a springboard for further development.

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, pointing to her hand. "My longevity biscuits and white rabbit toffee!"

Ning Yuan, this fool, even took out all the evidence.

Just a moment... I need more sugar!

Tang Z Zhen glared angrily at Ning Yuan: "You stole my things again, only five big white rabbit milk candies are left, and my jade chili pepper!"

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

Ning Yuan said coldly: "This is something my family 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 Xuehong also covered the bag on her head and shouted loudly: "Yes, we all saw it, it was sent by Zhenzhen's family!"

Once Huang Xuehong had 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 down to the countryside to support agricultural construction, and it's already good that he doesn't come to steal our things."

"Tsk..."

Ning Yuan suddenly took out a package slip from her pocket without any expression: "This is my evidence. There's 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 package slip Several months ago, she watched the other person throw it in the trash!

Li Yiyuan reached out and took it. Looking at the shipping label, he read aloud: "A box of Millennium Green Cookies, a bag of Big White Rabbit Candy, recipient... Ning Yuan."

As soon as his words fell, everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Ning Yuan has evidence, the sugar belongs to her.

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

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

Fortunately, later on, she kept the package slip to collect stamps and get a Shanghai postmark, so she picked it back up.

Tang Zhenzhen's face paled slightly, and she instinctively squeezed Huang Xuehong's arm: "That only proves that you had candy and cookies. You already ate your cookies and candy. This is mine!"

Huang Xuehong's chubby arms were being pinched until they ached, and she hastily nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."

Rong Zhaonan leaned against the cart and suddenly said, "Whoever claims it, they must provide evidence. She has already provided hers, now it's your turn. What markings are on that emerald chili"

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

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

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

But he still addressed Tang Zhenzhen seriously: "Comrade Tang, whoever claims something is right 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 Z Zhen bit her lip and, under everyone's gaze, her eyes turned red. "Witnesses aren't enough, there's nothing more I can say. Let's just say that the cookies and candy, even the jade chili peppers, are all hers. Maybe I misunderstood. Alright"

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

She has eyewitnesses, Ning Yuan has physical evidence. Anyway, this matter is unclear and Ning Yuan's reputation won't improve.

Keningyuan appeared at some point, taking a few steps to stand before her, and said coldly:_

"Wait a minute, Tang Zhiqing, are you just going to leave like that"

Tang Yan was furious and glared at her: "Is that all you have to say"

Ning Yuan let out a cold snort: "But I do care. I'm missing five yuan, and now I suspect that the five yuan in your hand is stolen from me!"

Not only Tang Zhenzhen, but even Huang Xuhong and Li Yan and the rest were stunned.

What does this mean

But Rong Zhaonan shielded half of his face with the mirrored lens, a strange light flashed in his eyes as he stared at Ning Yuan, seemingly lost in thought.

Tang Zhenzhen looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say!"lley saw the money flying everywhere. One instinctively squatted down to pick it up, while the other rushed to grab the bag.Ning Yuan seized the opportunity and suddenly plunged headfirst out of the a...
