Chapter 62 -62: Corrupting Morals and Violating Taboos

As soon as these words were said, Guiying was instantly silenced.

The incident of Chiang Xiao’s fall into the water was handled personally by Secretary Yao, and if Guiying dared to express dissatisfaction, it would mean that she was harboring grievances against Secretary Yao.

She didn’t dare to offend Secretary Yao, so Chiang Xiao’s words had hit her where it hurt.

Guiying glared at her, her eyes filled with even more resentment.

But Chiang Xiao was not afraid of that look anymore.

“Has Qian Mengzi’s eyes gone bad?”

The villagers who had gathered followed to the sweet potato field, but Qian Mengzi, with his wife and brothers, guarded the ridges, not allowing anyone to step down and trample them.

Qian Mengzi walked into the middle of the sweet potato field and loudly said, “Look at this place!”

Chiang Xiao looked over.

To plant sweet potatoes, the land is plowed into ridges and furrows. The ridges were covered with lush green sweet potato vines, which seemed to be growing well.

It looked like a green carpet at a glance.

Therefore, it was immediately obvious that where Qian Mengzi was standing was a mess.

The sweet potato vines were flattened, crushed sweet potato leaves in the furrows, and the repaired ridges were in disarray.

Qian Mengzi was furious, saying, “Look at this, it’s all damaged by stomping, but when we stand and stomp the soil, the footprints are not like this. It’s only by lying down that you can make such footprints. Don’t you believe it? I’ve tried lying down!”

Chiang Xiao was actually surprised to hear this.

She hadn’t expected Qian Mengzi to have such deductive skills and to be so attentive.

This was easy to understand; the angle and pressure points of the feet are different when standing and lying down.

Qian Mengzi spoke out loud again, “Aren’t you asking me how I know it was a man and a woman? Because there are two kinds of footprints, large ones and very small ones! A man’s foot isn’t that small!”

Someone ran over to look closely for a long time, then scratched the back of their head and said, “Hey, that’s really true! These are tiny ‘Golden Lotus’ feet!”

Someone in the crowd asked, “Mengzi, how did you then know they were committing acts of indecency?”

Hearing this question, Qian Mengzi’s face turned red, his chest heaving with anger, “Because that damned bastard wiped himself with toilet paper after the deed, and didn’t pick up the toilet paper!”

With these words spoken, everyone saw it too, among the green sweet potato vines, there were a couple of light-yellow pieces of toilet paper.

At this point, the crowd had come to believe Qian Mengzi, and they immediately burst into a loud discussion.

Qian Mengzi angrily said, “These past two days I went to visit relatives with my wife and children, and didn’t come to the fields. Judging by these traces, it should have happened three days ago. When I was here at three or four in the afternoon that day it was all fine, it must have been done on the night when we went to visit relatives!”

Running into the field to do such acts, wasn’t that hooliganism?

Moreover, even though it was a new era, the backward mountain villages still had their own set of rules.

Immediately, the villagers were enraged.

“Who is so lacking in morals?”

“Running into someone’s field and committing acts of indecency, we must drag them out!”

“Right, drag them out, put up a sign, make them do the Village Parade!”

“We must make them bow their heads and admit their guilt!”

“Absolutely!”

Watching the crowd suddenly become tumultuous, Chiang Xiao just felt a chill in her palms.

In her previous life, the villagers never found out who the man and woman were. Although Guihua and others tried to throw dirt on her, there was no evidence, so in the end it was just rampant rumors, as the accusation of hooliganism had just reached the village.

But if this had taken place three years later, during a crackdown period, she might have actually been caught and made to do the Village Parade.

The Village Parade involved tying the hands of the person found guilty behind their back, hanging a large wooden placard around the neck with the crime written on it, and having the local militia escort them throughout the village.

Everyone was to follow alongside, witnessing the spectacle, shouting insults, pointing fingers, and even throwing cow dung or sloshing foot-washing water on the person…

It was a crazy torment on both body and mind.
