Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 686: Chapter 686 It’s Hard to Reconcile in the Short Term (2/2)

The description of one tall and one short person holding a child was too obvious, and everyone instinctively looked behind them for Mei Mengzhen, Mei Mengchen, and Fan Tianhua, but found nothing.

Just as everyone was puzzled, these three people came from afar, and, with confused faces, asked everyone what was going on, "What’s the situation here?"

Mei Yinan, with a somewhat unpleasant expression, asked, "How come you guys came from over there?"

"There’s no sun over there, so we went over to that side..."

Before Fan Tianhua could finish speaking, Mei Yongfu glared at the two and cursed directly, "Bastards, daring to push your little aunt, you won’t die a good death."

Fan Tianhua got angry upon hearing this; it was indeed because of Mei Mengzhen that the three of them had narrowly escaped one calamity but had witnessed the entire process.

Fan Tianhua really wanted to curse someone; just when she had said that Mei Mengzhen was overthinking, they had indeed witnessed the entire ’crime’ committed by Du Jing. There was indeed a hand behind Du Jing, but it definitely wasn’t theirs or one that pushed her. Instead, it was that of a hotel waiter who, worried she might fall down the stairs, specifically went over to wrap an arm around her, thinking that if there was any accident, they could at least catch her.

But instead, this good deed played right into Du Jing’s narrative and turned into someone pushing her down.

The waiter first thought Du Jing was accusing her, but it turned out to be about the three of them. Now the waiter was scared witless and hadn’t even recovered from the shock.

As for the mix-up, that too was a coincidence. Since the waiter worked at the hotel, she wore a white uniform, and Mei Mengzhen and Fan Tianhua, worried about getting tanned, had also put on white outerwear. So, when Du Jing saw that hand, she didn’t get a good look at the face and immediately concluded it was them.

Fan Tianyu retorted directly, "If it was me who pushed, I truly deserve to die, but if it wasn’t me, then she deserves to die. Auntie, you may be older and unaware that there is surveillance at this entrance, which can clearly capture everything in the lobby and entrance without any blind spots. So, I’ve already called the police. They will prove our innocence. I hope by then you can still be as certain about who pushed you."

Following Fan Tianhua’s words, the lobby entrance fell silent except for Mei Yongfu, who continued to spew vitriolic words at the three, just as harsh as what Wang Qiuhe said back in the day, utterly unpleasant to hear.

The ambulance arrived a little later than expected, almost at the same time as the police car. As individuals involved, the trio obviously couldn’t leave with the ambulance and were forced to stay behind with their brothers, none of them looking too pleased.

Fan Tianyu commented, "What kind of mess has my uncle married into?"

Fan Tianyu never doubted for a moment that the three would push Du Jing; there was no reason, and they both disdained such actions. Although Qi Yongwang and Mei Mengcheng didn’t witness the incident, their expressions were also grim, with Mei Mengcheng further suggesting, "Yongwang, I think your family should hurry up and move out."

Then let the aunt and uncle duke it out with each other, otherwise, with the second aunt here, she would suffer the most.

Qi Yongwang suddenly found the idea appealing, "I think your suggestion is quite good, let’s talk about it later."

While Du Jing was taken to the hospital, the police reviewed the surveillance footage, which clearly showed that Mei Mengzhen and her companions were far too distant from Du Jing to be held accountable, so the accusation of pushing someone was certainly baseless. After recording their statements, the police took the surveillance footage to the hospital.

By then, Du Jing had already been admitted to the ward and appeared very weak, but neither the adults nor the child was hurt.

As they arrived, Mei Yongfu was still angrily blaming them for giving birth to such children that only wished him ill. When the police entered, Mei Yongfu immediately welcomed the officer.

The officer first greeted the patient Du Jing, then directly showed the video to clear the three of suspicion, saying, "The video is very clear. You said they pushed you, but they were far away from you. When you fell, they were nowhere near you and couldn’t possibly run over in time. We also questioned the waiter; she reached out because she was afraid you might get hurt in a tug-of-war ahead. But somehow, you just fell down. We checked the distance, and her hand did not touch you."

The officer looked at Du Jing sternly, asking, "I remember you saying that someone pushed you from behind, but the video clearly shows there was no one pushing you from behind. Moreover, you were at a distance from the crowd, and you were wearing flat shoes at the time. So who really pushed you?"

The implication was nearly direct, accusing her of falling on purpose.

With the officer’s words and the evidence from the video, the newlyweds were left with no room to refute, especially Mei Yongfu, who, in his eagerness to protect his new wife and the unborn child, had uttered many harsh words, further worsening their already strained relationship.

Seeing that the couple was silent, Mei Yinan coldly said, "Finally, the truth is out. That means this lady’s fall has nothing to do with our children or us, right?"

The police nodded, confirming her statement, "Correct, according to what we’ve seen in the video, this lady’s fall is indeed unrelated to you."

Mei Yinan, with a smile on her lips, thanked the officer, "Thank you for clearing our names. Now that our innocence has been proven, there’s no need for us to stay any longer."

After finishing her words, Mei Yinan dropped her smile and said to those around her, "Let’s go, we’re heading back."

Before leaving, Mei Yinan still cast a cold glance at Mei Yongfu, "Enjoyed your rant, Yongfu?"

Without waiting for Mei Yongfu to reply, Mei Yinan turned and left.

The feast was naturally canceled after such a dramatic episode; not only did the wedding not happen, but it also ended in such turmoil. Du Jing didn’t know how to explain herself to Mei Yongfu, and could only insist, "Maybe I was too sensitive, I really thought I was being pushed. I’m sorry, Yongfu, I..."

Seeing Du Jing’s gentle and apologetic demeanor, Mei Yongfu was discontented but didn’t blame her too much; after all, compared to Du Jing, he was more concerned about the child in her womb. Nevertheless, he said, "I was already at odds with my elder sister, and with today’s incident, I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult for us to reconcile with her for some time."
