Chapter 122 Don’t tell others

Zhu Zhicheng walked outside the house and took a look, "It's not raining now. How about we go back quickly?"

Ruan Zhonghua looked at Su Qian, "I'm afraid it will rain heavily again on the way."

"How about staying here and sleeping one night?"

Susie's clothes were basically dry, but her pants were still wet and uncomfortable against her body. She shook her head, "I still have to go back."

Tian Xiaohui also felt uncomfortable and stood up, "Let's go back. Let's leave quickly while it's not raining."

Everyone was eager to return home. After thanking Mrs. Chen, everyone hurried out.

Ruan Zhonghua found some bamboo hats and handed his black umbrella to Su Qian.

Zhu Zhicheng walked in front with a flashlight, and everyone quickly followed.

The journey of more than ten miles was easy when we came here, but it felt very long when we went back.

Susie walked for a while, and suddenly remembered the chair she brought over, and couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know where the chair went?"

Qiao Mu said softly: "It's okay, I'll make a few more when I get back."

After walking for a while, I met several people from the Yangjiao Production Team, and we all walked together.

When we walked to the collective home, it was already half past ten.

Zhao Tingting heard the commotion outside and quickly put on her clothes and came out, "You guys are back. It rained so heavily, which made me anxious. Chen Changqing and the others came back just now. When I asked them, they said they didn't see you."

Tian Xiaohui stomped the mud on her feet under the eaves, "Thankfully you didn't go. You don't know how miserable we are today."

"The rain was like water pouring down from the sky. I couldn't even open my eyes. Within half a minute, my whole body was soaked."

"If it weren't for Hua Zi today, I would have died over there in the seventh row."

Su Qian said angrily: "You are the one exaggerating."

Zhao Tingting said to everyone: "I boiled water and your thermos bottles are full."

"You can soak your feet in hot water to get rid of the cold."

"By the way, there is ginger soup on the stove. Each of you can drink a bowl."

Su Qian couldn't help but praise, "Tingting is so thoughtful. I wish I could marry a wife like you in the future."

Zhao Tingting burst out laughing.

Qiao Mu, who was about to enter the house, couldn't help but think about it in his mind when he heard this.

Su Qian and Tian Xiaohui entered the house, quickly poured hot water and took off their clothes.

Her underwear was still wet, so Susie wiped it with a hot towel several times before changing into dry clothes.

At this time, the courtyard door outside rang again. Zhao Tingting walked to the window, looked at it, and whispered: "Yu Xue is back."

"Hey, why don't you see Qin Man?"

Zhao Tingting said casually and didn't care anymore.

Su Qian and Tian Xiaohui soaked their feet and drank ginger soup before lying down to sleep.

Before dawn in the morning, Susie vaguely heard someone talking outside. She was so sleepy that she turned over and continued to sleep.

When Susie woke up, it was already nine o'clock.

It's still raining outside the window, but not heavily.

Zhao Tingting was sitting at the table, knitting the sweater Su Qian gave her grandma.

Susie sat on the bed hugging the quilt, "It's so cold, I don't want to get out of bed."

Zhao Tingting turned to her and smiled, "Then do you want me to bring you the porridge?"

Susie quickly got dressed and got out of bed, "I can't bear it. Do you really want to be my wife? This is too virtuous."

She came back from washing and sat at the table to eat porridge. "In a while, I have to go to Qipai to deliver the bamboo hat and umbrella that Huazi borrowed from us yesterday. It's raining now, so we must use them."

Zhao Tingting smiled and said, "You don't have to go. Brother Zhu sent the hat and umbrella over early in the morning."

Susie sighed happily, "Brother Zhu is such a good person."

Zhao Tingting suddenly looked out the window and said, "Qin Man is back."

She whispered: "She is still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Could it be that she just came back from the seventh row?"

Su Qian casually glanced out the window and saw that Qin Man looked very haggard and her eyelids were swollen, as if she had cried. She walked to the next door like a wandering spirit.

Then Yu Xue's voice sounded next door, "Why did you come back? Where did you sleep last night?"

Su Qian didn't hear Qin Man's answer, only a low and suppressed cry.

Zhao Tingting and Su Qian looked at each other, with surprise that could not be concealed in their eyes.

Su Qian guessed that Qin Man was afraid that something had happened. A girl stayed away all night and cried when she came home, which made people think wrongly.

After eating porridge, Su Qian went to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, she saw Tian Xiaohui playing cards with Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng in the male educated youth's room.

Qiao Mu was knitting something, and when he saw Susie passing by, his eyes followed her involuntarily.

Susie smiled and walked quickly.

Back home, Su Qian took the sweater from Zhao Tingting and continued knitting.

Suddenly, Yu Xue's sharp voice came from the next door, "Oh my God, this is rape, how could it be like this?"

Su Qian almost dropped the knitting needle in her hand at the sound, and she and Zhao Tingting looked at each other in confusion.

Then came Qin Man's crying voice, "Please keep your voice down so that no one can hear you."

Yu Xue's voice was not too soft, "You are stupid. You should go to the commune police station to report the crime. You can't let this bastard get away with it in vain."

When Su Qian heard Yu Xue's words, she looked at her with admiration. Most girls would have their teeth knocked out and blood swallowed when they encounter this kind of thing. She is indeed a powerful person, and she also knows to call the police.

"No, no, no, if I don't call the police, my reputation will be ruined if I call the police."

"Yu Xue, I beg you, please keep your voice down, but don't tell anyone else about this."

Qin Man's voice gradually became quieter and could no longer be heard.

Su Qian and Zhao Tingting were cooking at noon. Yu Xue suddenly walked in and came up to the two of them, with a face filled with gossip, "I'm going to tell you something, but you must not tell anyone else."

Su Qian knew that what she was going to say must be about Qin Man. When she was about to say no, Zhao Tingting came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yu Xue lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Isn't it raining heavily while watching a movie last night? Qin Man was dragged by an aunt to her house to take shelter from the rain."

"Then he said it was getting late and asked her to sleep at home."

"Qin Man didn't dare to walk back alone at night, so he slept there. Who knew that in the middle of the night-"

Yu Xue suddenly stopped here and said with a horrifying expression: "She was raped!"

Su Qian felt a heartache, knowing that Qin Man had told her not to tell others, so it was good for her to come here specifically to gossip.

Zhao Tingting pretended that she had not overheard, and showed a cooperative expression of surprise, and then said: "This kind of thing should be reported to the police, right?"

Yu Xue shook her head, "She was unwilling to report the crime because she was afraid of being embarrassed."

Susie couldn't help but say, "Let's not talk about reporting the crime or not. Don't wash her underwear. Keeping it is also evidence."

She didn't know if DNA technology was available now, but even if she didn't report the crime now, she might decide to report the crime one day. It would be good to leave the evidence there.

Yu Xue's eyes lit up when she heard Su Qian's words, "It makes sense, I'll tell her." She said and ran away quickly.
