at Tang Zhenzhen.Rong Zhaonan had been behind them all along, silently watching the scene.Seeing the interaction between Ning Yuan and Li Yan, he curled his lips in a hint of mockery.Tang Zhenzhen lis...Rong Zhaonan narrowed his eyes, hadn't spoken yet, but Tang Zhenzhen couldn't bear it first.

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

Tang Zhenzhen's face turned dark as she gritted her teeth and glared at Huang Xueming and Qin Xiaoxia on the side. "You two speak!"

Tang Zhenzhen looked at Huang Xuerhong and Qin Xiaoxia: "Xuerhong, Xiaoxia, you guys said that the things in this cookie box weren't missing this morning, right"

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, "This box is empty. There's only five yuan left."

She wasn't lying, she just being vague. As for what others thought, she couldn't control that.

As soon as the two of them testified, the crowd began to buzz with discussion.

Especially Tang Zhenzhen was very popular among the educated youths. Besides, Ning Yuan "deliberately degraded herself" and mixed with bad elements who were sent to the countryside from Beijing.

The arriving young intellectuals all chimed in to defend Tang Zhenzhen.

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

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

"That's it, Ningyuan, you stole someone's things without a conscience!"

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

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

Ning Yuan looked at Rong Zhao Nan, who had remained silent the whole time. She was a little surprised, as he was usually taciturn in front of everyone because of his "special" status.

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

As soon as Rong Zhaonan spoke, everyone's attention instantly shifted to him.

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

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

"That's right, maybe it was this bad guy who instigated Ning Zhiqing to steal!"

"Look, Ning Yuan wasn't like this before, she wouldn't even lay a hand on anyone. 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 never spoke easily in front of people —

People who are labeled as bad, even if they are innocent.

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 Doctor Rong. I didn't steal anything, let alone money, and I have proof!"

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

It drowned out the noise and insults from the others.

Li Yan coldly glanced at Rong Zhaonan, just adding to the chaos!

Then, he looked at Ning Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Ning, if you have any evidence, just bring it out. The brigade will not wrong a good person."

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

Ning Yuan turned and entered the small hut by the cowshed. A while later, she rushed out, holding something up: "Tang Zhenzhen, are these the cookies and candy you were talking about"

Since material resources are extremely scarce now, they're making such a big fuss over "high-end cookies and candies".

After decades, talking about current events would sound 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 Da Bai Tu candy left.

Tang Zhenzhen's eyes lit up immediately, pointing at her hand: "My longevity biscuits, and big white rabbit milk candy!"

Ning Yuan, you idiot, you brought out all the evidence!

Just a minute... the sugar is too low!

Tang Zhenzhen glared angrily at Ning Yuan: "You stole my things again, there are only five white rabbit toffee left, and my jade chili pepper!"

These candy cookies are nowhere to be found in the countryside, she wouldn't eat them casually!

Ning Yuan coldly said, "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 package on his head and shouted loudly, "Yes, we all saw it, it was sent by Zhēnjīn's family!"

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

Now I don't know what else Ning Zhiqing has to say. He even went to the countryside to support agricultural construction, and it’s good enough that he doesn't come to steal from us.

tsk...

Ning Yuan suddenly, without any expression, took out an express delivery slip from her pocket: "This is my evidence. It has a Shanghai postmark on it. You can see what's written on it."

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

Why is Ning Yuan still keeping this package slip 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: "A box of evergreen cookies, a bag of white rabbit toffee, recipient... Ning Yuan."

As soon as the words left his mouth, 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 wouldn't eat, which she had given to Tang Zhenzhen, became the evidence this woman used to frame her.

Fortunately, later on, she kept a Shanghai stamp for her collection and retrieved the parcel slip before throwing it away.

Tang Yan was a little pale, and she subconsciously 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 fat arm was being pinched, and it hurt. She nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, yes."

Rong Zhaonan leaned against the cart and suddenly said, "Whoever makes the claim, they need to provide evidence. She has already provided hers, now it's your turn. What mark is there on that jade chili"

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

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

Li Yan glanced warningly at Rong Zhaonan again, intending to silence him.

"But he still addressed Tang Zhenzhen seriously and said, 'Comrade Tang, whoever claims something is right must provide evidence. Besides your fellow educated youths who live with you, do you have any written evidence to prove that these biscuits, sugar, and jade chili peppers belong to you'

Tang Zhenzhen bit her lip and, under everyone's gaze, her eyes turned red: "Having witnesses isn't enough. I don't have much to say. Let's just say that the cookies and candy, even the jade chili peppers, are all hers. Maybe I misunderstood. Okay"

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

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

Ke Ningyuan appeared before her at some point, taking a few steps forward. She said coldly,

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

Tang Yan's face turned cold, she stared at her and said, "Don't you think it's too much"

Ning Yuan let out a cold snort: "But I do mind, and I haven't seen those five dollars. Now I suspect that the five dollars in your hand are mine!"

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

What does this mean

Instead, Rong Zhaonan covered half his face with the mirror's lens and his eyes flashed with a strange light, staring at Ning Yuan, seeming thoughtful.

Tang Zhenzhen looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say!"cuits, sugar, and jade chili peppers belong to you'Tang Zhenzhen bit her lip and, under everyone's gaze, her eyes turned red: "Having witnesses isn't enough. I don't have much to say. Let's just say t...
