Chapter 222 Fighting for Justice

Sun Yuxi recalled that some people remarked that if everyone hadn't been drawn to watch the spectacle, the old cowshed wouldn't have been left unattended to put out the fire. Even though they were people who had been sent down to the countryside, it was still pitiful for them to be burned alive.

As for the young couple, they seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Before they disappeared, Pi Laizi was found dead in his backyard. He had been beaten to death and was said to have died a particularly gruesome death, with no skin left on his body.

Sun Yuxi had been thinking about this all morning. She knew clearly that not all the people living in the old cowshed were bad, and that in a few years, people would be exonerated one by one.

She had no desire to curry favor. Since her rebirth, she had stayed away from that scoundrel Chai Shiming, her family was doing well, and she had several true friends. She was already content.

Although I never intended to curry favor or befriend them, I couldn't just let things go unchecked knowing something bad would happen.

Even if she couldn't control the fire in the cowshed, as a fellow woman, she couldn't just stand by and watch that scoundrel bully a perfectly good girl.

Sun Yuxi no longer hesitated. Having been by Bai Nuo's side for so long, she had picked up many habits, one of which was to do what she thought of without hesitation, and to deal with the consequences as they came.

After Sun Yuxi figured it out, she greeted the older woman in the same squad with whom she had a good relationship, and then turned around and ran to find Xie Weidong.

She might not have enough brains to think of a good solution, but she has plenty of smart friends around her.

On her way to find Xie Weidong, Sun Yuxi had already come up with an excuse that seemed somewhat perfunctory, but which no normal person would be able to guess the truth of.

That is, I heard...

“I just passed by a small alley and heard people there say that Pi Laizi has taken a liking to the woman in the old cowshed. Because that woman goes to the mountains to pick wild vegetables every day after work in the evening, he plans to stop her in the mountains, drag her in, and bully her. But didn’t the brigade leader recently order that no one is allowed to go up the mountain? I guess Pi Laizi might find an excuse to call her out and then tie her up and take her to the mountains. What do you think we should do? Although that woman lives in the old cowshed, she is still a woman. I really can’t pretend I don’t know anything, so I came to find you.”

As for the fact that there was no mountain closure in her previous life, Sun Yuxi no longer dwells on the fact that many things in this life are different from those in her previous life. She never interferes with any minor matters she can remember, as long as they don't involve her friends. Sometimes she even drags her friends along to watch the excitement.

But this matter involved several lives and a young woman in the prime of her life, and she simply couldn't leave it unattended.

Besides, that scoundrel is a beast. She's fighting for justice this time, not for anything else.

Xie Weidong frowned. He didn't doubt Sun Yuxi's words, and without the slightest hesitation, he nodded directly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me and Eugene. You go back to work first, and Eugene and I will investigate. We'll go back and discuss it after work at noon."

“Okay!” Sun Yuxi nodded, a gentle smile spreading across her previously worried face.

She is no longer the helpless person she was in her previous life. In this life, she has very reliable friends, and nothing and no one can defeat her anymore.

Xie Weidong escorted Sun Yuxi to the crossroads and watched her return to her production team before turning around and going to find Eugene.

He, Eugene, and Fang Meng were all in the same production team, working in the same area.

The two exchanged a brief chat before parting ways. They worked quickly and earned full work points every day, so the team leader basically didn't bother with them.

When the group met at noon, Eugene and Xie Weidong actually managed to find out some information.
