Yunyi's blunt words were a direct slap in the face to everyone at the Zhiqing Point and put Deng Xiaojie on the hot seat.
Fortunately, the Zhiqing Point and the villagers lived on opposite sides of the river. At that time, everyone was at home eating, so no one heard the commotion and came over to watch.
Yunyi didn't want the matter to become known throughout the village. She worried people might use it to make snide remarks, especially since she was now working at the village health clinic and had already drawn the envy of many.
Wang Jianhui's face burned with shame. He had previously sworn that they, being highly educated, would never stoop to petty theft like stealing chickens or snatching dogs.
True, they hadn't stolen chickens or snatched dogs. However, Deng Xiaojie had indeed stolen someone's vegetables and damaged the young plants.
This matter could be minor or major. If Chu Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing didn't relent, Deng Xiaojie would be in serious trouble.
