Who is Shuyue?
The matter about Zhao Shuyue hadn’t spread through the village yet, so everyone knew her only by her last name Liu and didn’t know her real name.
Before the situation was clarified, everyone reacted defensively, and no one dared to accept the cigarettes from Liu Qinian’s hand.
What if it was a thief?
Jiu Wentang followed up and said, "Shuyue is the Aunt Liu you’ve been talking about, and Aunt Liu is my older sister! Due to some reasons, we had only recently recognized her as our sister! You see, when sisters chat, they lose track of time, and before we knew it, it was midnight! We are all family here!"
Family?
Upon hearing this, the villagers exchanged glances.
These past few days, Liu Qinian and Jiu Wentang had indeed frequently visited Jinghua Village, so the villagers were somewhat familiar with the couple.
Could it be that they had made a mistake?
"Since we are all family, why are you all acting so guilty? Must be because you are hiding something shady!" Ni Yang walked through the crowd, followed by the light from the villagers’ flashlights, shining like a vast snowy glow.
"It really is a misunderstanding!" Liu Qinian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Yangyang, do I look like the kind of person who would sneak around stealing? Besides, how many petty thieves drive a sedan? We just came to check on Shuyue!"
A sedan itself costs at least seventy or eighty thousand yuan; who would buy a sedan and still steal?
It must be said, Liu Qinian’s words did make some sense.
After hearing this, the villagers relaxed their guard.
"I think it’s quite possible!" Ni Yang crossed her arms and looked down on Liu Qinian, "Psychology says that people sweat profusely when they are highly nervous. Uncle Liu, is it very hot tonight?"
Saying this made Liu Qinian even more nervous.
For some reason, even though Ni Yang was just a teenager, he couldn’t help but feel incredibly anxious, with cold sweat layering his back.
He couldn’t control it.
In front of Ni Yang, he was like a mouse seeing a cat!
"We really didn’t steal anything!" Jiu Wentang opened both sides of the car doors, "If you don’t believe it, you can check for yourself."
Villagers stepped forward and shone flashlights inside the car; aside from a young girl sitting in the back seat, there seemed to be nothing else.
