RYEY – Chapter 149 All Go to the Public Security Bureau

Chen Dazhu was caught off guard and shoved to the ground, unable to get up for a moment. Everyone looked closely—it was actually Chai Jianmin who had pushed him, leaving them all staring at one another in surprise.

Everyone knew that Chai Jianmin had once dated Xu Laidi. Later, Xu Laidi abandoned him for food and married Chen Dazhu instead.

No one expected that now, for Xu Laidi’s sake, Chai Jianmin would actually dare to fight Chen Dazhu. It was hard not to think too much about it.

Xu Laidi looked at Chai Jianmin with eyes full of gratitude, and beneath that gratitude was shame. She had been wrong—so terribly wrong.

What’s more, she had finally figured things out. She no longer wanted to be controlled by Chen Dazhu; she wanted to be her own master. Of course, if Chai Jianmin was willing to rekindle their old feelings and be with her again, she was more than willing.

Chai Jianmin noticed the tender gaze Xu Laidi cast at him and sneered inwardly. Xu Laidi, you owe me, and you’ll pay me back double.

Li Huan despised these unclear entanglements. With a wave of his hand, the village security team tied Chen Dazhu up and prepared to escort him toward the village committee.

Chen Dazhu kept struggling, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Xu Laidi and Chai Jianmin as he roared: “Xu Laidi, you whore! This is definitely your doing today. Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me. And you, Chai Jianmin, you coward—you’re only fit to pick up the trash I’ve thrown away!”

Chen Dazhu could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart. After all the scheming he had done, that damn woman’s heart was still with Chai Jianmin. He swore he would kill them both.

Xu Laidi was still terrified of Chen Dazhu’s violence. Hearing his threats, she flinched again. But Chai Jianmin stood behind her, saying he would accompany her to the Public Security Bureau to report Chen Dazhu and Wang Qin for adultery.

Xu Laidi straightened her chest. If Chen Dazhu were reported for cheating during marriage, and if Wang Qin added more weight to the accusation, claiming that Chen Dazhu had forced her, then this man would surely have to “eat peanuts.”

Thinking of this, Xu Laidi walked over to Wang Qin, who was still dazed. With a sorrowful expression, she grasped Wang Qin’s hand and said with grief: “Wang Qin, it’s all my fault. If I had told you earlier that Chen Dazhu was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you wouldn’t have been hurt by him.”

At that moment, Wang Qin pretended to have just woken up. She stood up weakly, unable to believe she had already lost her purity.

She abruptly shook off Xu Laidi’s hand, her gaze toward Chen Dazhu flickering. She had been replaying everything in her head—she had only eaten a wild fruit, so why had her whole body turned weak?

Could it have been Cheng Qiao’s trick? After all, everyone knew Cheng Qiao was studying medicine with Ye Jun. But no—the fruit had been picked by her own hands, peeled by herself, and Cheng Qiao had kept her distance.

Then it must have been Chen Dazhu’s doing. As a woman, of course she knew he harbored bad intentions toward her. She had pretended not to notice, just so she could secure a footing here sooner.

But she hadn’t thought he would go this far. Since he dared to treat her this way, she would no longer show mercy. She would go to the Public Security Bureau and make sure he “ate peanuts.”

Seeing the dark look in Wang Qin’s eyes, Xu Laidi could barely contain the smile tugging at her lips. As long as Wang Qin went to the authorities and had Chen Dazhu arrested, she would finally be free.

“Village Head, I want to report to the Public Security Bureau.”

Wang Qin took a deep breath and said to Li Huan.

“You can’t report him! My brother is honest and upright. It’s you who seduced him! You’ve always been lazy and scheming. To get my brother to earn you more work points, you deliberately set him up!”

Suddenly, Chen Tiezhu stood out, pointing at Wang Qin’s nose and cursing. If Chen Dazhu really went to prison for rape, their Chen family would never be able to hold their heads up in the village again.

“You… you’re talking nonsense! When did I ever seduce him?”

Wang Qin was furious. This damned bumpkin was twisting black and white. She was at least a city-educated youth—how could she possibly seduce a married man who had nothing?

“I’m not talking nonsense! Fellow villagers, since spring plowing, this Wang Qin has always been lazy. Such a grown woman, yet she goes with children to collect pigweed. Who’s ever seen such a lazy woman?”

“That’s right, my son is only four years old and already goes to collect pigweed to earn work points. She’s nearly twenty—how could she be snatching work from children?”

“I can testify too. This Wang Qin and her mother have always bullied Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao is the biological daughter of a factory director, yet they tricked her into coming to the countryside as a zhiqing.”

“Yes, yes, this woman is no good.”

Listening to the villagers’ chatter, Wang Qin’s head exploded. She was the victim, so why were they saying this about her? Were they all blind?

“Village Head, I want to report to the Public Security Bureau. Chen Dazhu definitely raped me!”

Li Huan nodded. Although he had the power to suppress the matter, Cheng Qiao had told him more than once that Chen Dazhu was utterly vile.

Cheng Qiao hadn’t said exactly what he had done, but she had firmly told him that if Li Le was to have a happy future, Chen Dazhu could not be allowed to stay.

In Li Huan’s heart, Cheng Qiao was like a fairy—she must have seen a future he could not. So, in that instant, he made his decision: he would send Chen Dazhu to prison.

Chen Tiezhu wanted to object again, but Li Huan shot him a glare so sharp that Chen Tiezhu’s heart shrank and his face turned pale.

Xu Laidi watched as the security team pressed Chen Dazhu down the mountain and onto an ox cart. She struggled to suppress her excitement. She had to get a divorce first—she couldn’t spend her life branded as the wife of a rapist.

“Village Head, can you write me a certificate? I want to divorce Chen Dazhu.”

Cradling her belly, Xu Laidi ran after them, her voice trembling with excitement. Li Huan gave her a sidelong glance and sneered: “Just now, Chen Dazhu said everything that happened today was your doing. You’d better come along to the Public Security Bureau too.”

Xu Laidi’s eyes widened in shock. She was a pregnant woman—how could she have caused this? Chen Dazhu was just a lecher who preyed on any vulnerable woman.

The security team only listened to Li Huan. Hearing the order, they had their wives or mothers hoist Xu Laidi onto the ox cart as well.

“Wang Qin, you go too. Whether you seduced Chen Dazhu or he forced you, you’ll have to explain it clearly.”

Auntie Wang looked at Wang Qin with disdain, making her feel utterly humiliated. Wang Qin suddenly knelt in front of Li Huan.

“Brother-in-law, I’m the victim. Please help me. I never seduced Chen Dazhu!”
