Wen Yuanyuan?
The political commissar frowned at the little girl, his voice stern. "Wen Yuanyuan, you can't mess around. What exactly did you see?"
The little girl looked at the commissar unhappily, grabbing his hand and pouting. "Dad, why don't you believe me? How could I possibly lie!"
"You little rascal, you need to tell the truth now. What did you see?"
Wen Yuanyuan released his hand and pointed at Guo Xiaojun, speaking loudly. "Dad, I saw it! She deliberately tripped someone and even cursed and pinched them. I saw everything!"
Guo Xiaojun glared fiercely at Wen Yuanyuan, having cursed her a thousand times in her heart. She forced a smile and squatted down beside Wen Yuanyuan. "Little sister, did you perhaps see it wrong? Or maybe you didn't see clearly at all? I didn’t do any of the things you said."
Wen Yuanyuan snorted, looking at Guo Xiaojun with disdain. "I, Wen Yuanyuan, never lie. I always tell the truth; you're slandering me."
Who is Wen Yuanyuan? The little tyrant of the family compound, the big sister who could command a few younger boys with just a wave of her hand.
"You bullied him until he cried, and then you cursed him! You even called him a wild child! My mom said that's an insult."
"How do we know if you’re not just making things up? I don’t believe what you say."
Guo Xiaojun began to argue stubbornly. She stood up with a cold expression, completely losing the fearful demeanor she had earlier.
Wen Yuanyuan pointed at her, breathing heavily in anger. She turned to the boys behind her. "You guys come over here!"
A few little boys hurriedly ran over and stood behind Wen Yuanyuan.
Wen Yuanyuan looked at them and asked, "Did you guys see it too? I'm not lying, right?"
"Yes! It was you who bullied people; you're a bad person!" they replied in unison.
Guo Xiaojun gritted her teeth in anger, fists clenched tightly, but she could only stubbornly continue to deny it.
"As long as she doesn’t admit it, no one dares to accuse her."
"What if you all planned this together? Why should I believe what you say?"
As soon as Guo Xiaojun finished speaking, before the children could respond, the adults surrounding them were displeased.
They pointed at Guo Xiaojun and asked, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying our children are lying? You really dare to say that! Our kids are good kids; it's obvious you're guilty and refusing to admit it while bullying others!"
"Exactly! My son never lies; Yuanyuan is such a good child! How could she possibly lie?"
"Yes! Yuanyuan is a good kid; they’re all good kids! Why should we say our family compound's children are bad?"
Wen Yuanyuan looked incredulously at the aunt who spoke up. The aunt noticed her gaze and instinctively adjusted her clothes, clearing her throat a few times.
As soon as one person coughed, several aunts followed suit. Wen Yuanyuan, feeling a bit guilty, touched the tip of her nose. What was going on with these aunts? Hadn't they always looked down on her? Why were they suddenly speaking up for her today?
With this in mind, she decided that she would take their sons out to play more often, hoping to win their favor. If the aunts knew her true intentions, they would be furious and reject her outright! They were already struggling to keep their composure!
"Alright, Yuanyuan, come over here!"
Wen Yuanyuan walked over to Wen Zhengwei and the other little boys. She raised her voice earnestly, "Dad, we’re telling the truth! If you don’t believe me, you should believe them!"
She turned to look at the boys, who were all staring at the ground. Frustrated, she spoke loudly again.
They quickly lifted their heads and looked seriously at Wen Zhengwei. "Yes! We’re not lying!"
Now that was more like it! The aunts couldn’t bear to watch; they covered their eyes and bowed their heads, embarrassed at being seen.
"How pathetic! They’re really making fools of themselves," one of them muttered.
"You said you saw it; where did you see it?"
Guo Xiaojun perked up at this question and shouted back, "Yeah! Where did you see it?"
When she had tangled with Lu Chen, she had looked around and hadn’t seen anyone else there!
Where could they have seen it from?
"Over there!" Wen Yuanyuan pointed at the roof and the surrounding wall.
Guo Xiaojun glanced over and then laughed out loud. "If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable! There’s no way all of you could fit there."
The wall of the family compound wasn’t very high, but even so, the kids couldn’t see over it. And there was no way those kids could stand on the roof!
With that said, everyone started to hesitate a bit. Wen Zhengwei frowned at Wen Yuanyuan. "Yuanyuan, be more specific!"
Seeing Guo Xiaojun’s smug expression made Wen Yuanyuan angry. She pushed through the crowd to clear a path.
"Hey! What are you doing, Yuanyuan?"
"Slow down!"
As she pushed the door open, Wén Yuányuán pointed at the ladder by the wall and exclaimed, "We climbed up using that ladder!"
The group turned to see a ladder propped up next to the courtyard wall. Guō Xiǎojuān stammered, "Then... why did you suddenly climb up there? What a coincidence that you saw it!"
At that moment, her mind raced, especially when she caught a glimpse of her brother-in-law's angry expression. She knew she had to resolve this matter quickly; otherwise, her brother-in-law might just ask her sister to send her away. If that happened, it would be all over for her.
Wén Yuányuán fell silent, biting her lip as her small hands fidgeted together. She hesitated, glancing at Comrade Wén and then at Wén Qiàn and Lù Chén. Confused, she furrowed her brow but felt a surge of anger when she saw Guō Xiǎojuān's smug expression. She opened her mouth but couldn't find the words to say anything.
"Why aren't you saying anything? You saw it, didn't you? How could it be such a coincidence?"
Guō Xiǎojuān cast a sidelong glance at Wén Qiàn and Lù Zhèng, wondering if they had already planned this out beforehand. It was too coincidental that they were the only ones who saw it while others didn’t. Some people had claimed they were going to find the leader, but what were they really doing on the way? Who could clarify this situation? Even children could be deceived; she wondered if they would have nightmares later.
Guō Xiǎojuān looked at Wén Yuányuán and tried to scare her. "You know, kids who lie can get their mouths rotten! They won't be able to eat delicious food or even speak anymore; that's how they stop lying."
The little boys had never heard such things and immediately began to cry in fear. They ran into their mothers' arms seeking comfort, while several women couldn’t help but scold Guō Xiǎojuān for her smugness.
"Rotten mouths! Liars deserve rotten mouths! We haven't lied about anything!"
"Shut up! Stop crying! You're embarrassing yourselves!"
A few aunts wiped their children's tears while glaring at Guō Xiǎojuān.
To Guō Xiǎojuān's surprise, Wén Yuányuán didn’t cry; instead, she looked defiantly at her.
Wén Yuányuán felt like a bomb ready to explode with anger as she watched Guō Xiǎojuān’s smug demeanor. Her heart felt heavy as she glanced at the crying little boys and then at Comrade Wén’s furrowed brow.
Comrade Wén looked at Wén Yuányuán and said firmly, "Yuányuán, you need to tell the truth."
Wén Yuányuán thought Comrade Wén didn’t believe her, and in an instant, her eyes filled with tears from frustration. Finally unable to hold back any longer, she shouted with a choked voice.
