Chapter 39 Catching Her Off Guard

After Jiang Zhizhi returned home, she tidied up the house to make sure her money and food coupons hadn't come back.

Now that we know who's behind this, let her pay for the money and food coupons.

Before she could go to Old Man Liang's house, Old Man Liang, along with Liang Jingui and Liang Sijin, the village militia company commander, came over to apologize to Jiang Zhizhi.

Old Man Liang angrily tapped Liang Jingui on the back of the head: "You idiot, just because of someone's ten jin of grain coupons, you're going to throw mud at Technician Jiang? You almost ruined a young woman's reputation."

Liang Jingui clutched his head and howled, "Uncle, uncle, please be gentle, I know I was wrong. I was just out of my mind, I didn't think that much at the time."

Most of the people in Qingquan Village are surnamed Liang, and they are all related by blood. Old Man Liang is considered to be of high seniority and has some reputation in the village.

He saw Jiang Zhizhi's fighting style yesterday, and how she could remain calm in such a chaotic situation. This girl is not simple.

If Liang Jingui doesn't admit his mistake, Jiang Zhizhi will definitely retaliate in the future, and then Liang Jingui will suffer more than just a little.

That's why he dragged Liang Jingui over to apologize to Jiang Zhizhi! Don't get involved in these messy things.

Jiang Zhizhi was well aware of Old Man Liang's intentions. After all, they were from the same village, so their relationship would be closer. Moreover, after spending so much time together, she knew what kind of person Old Man Liang was.

He is tactful but also upright. As for those scandalous stories, he accepts them when they come to him, without refusing them, but he also doesn't actively seek them out.

In short, he may not have a high sense of morality, but he can still get things done.

After scolding Liang Jingui, Old Man Liang looked at Jiang Zhizhi and said, "Little Jiang, I'm really sorry. I never expected that such a troublemaker would appear by my side. You almost suffered."

Jiang Zhizhi said with a smile, "It's nothing for me to suffer a little grievance. The main problem is that I lost my money and food coupons, and I'm having trouble getting winter clothes."

Old Man Liang looked at Liang Jingui with a long face: "Tell me, who exactly stole Comrade Xiao Jiang's things?"

Liang Jingui cried out that he was wronged: "Uncle, I really didn't know! Liu Chunqin just said she would give me ten jin of grain coupons and let me go out for a walk so they could teach Comrade Xiao Jiang a lesson!"

"How was I supposed to know they were going to steal something? If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have agreed, then wouldn't I have been an accomplice?"

Jiang Zhizhi raised an eyebrow: "You mean, Liu Chunqin bribed you?"

Liang Jingui nodded: "Yes, she said she'd teach you a lesson."

Jiang Zhizhi looked at him: "Then do you dare to come with me to confront Liu Chunqin?"

Liang Jingui immediately shook his head: "Then I can't go. If I accept her gifts, she might turn around and accuse me of being an accomplice."

Jiang Zhizhi sneered: "Then I'll sue you. You stole my things."

Liang Jingui was completely stunned: "What does this have to do with me? I didn't steal it!"

"You're on duty, and if something goes missing in broad daylight, you're the prime suspect! Yesterday it was my personal property that was stolen, but what if it was office property? How are you going to explain that?"

"Who knows if you're colluding with malicious people to steal state property? You're a parasite on society!"

It's just about going up in altitude, she can do that too!

She learned this trick from Liu Chunqin.

Moreover, it works very well!

Liang Jingui stared at Jiang Zhizhi in shock, pointing at her for a long time, but couldn't explain himself.

Jiang Zhizhi gave a disdainful smile: "Have you thought it through? I'll go to town to report you after I finish lunch."

Then, looking at Old Man Liang and Liang Sijin, he said, "Uncle, Uncle Sijin, you saw it too. He was on duty at the village committee, but he neglected his duties and let bad guys in. Who knows if he stole public property? And today, he neglected his duties just for ten jin of grain coupons!"

"Who knows if he might become a traitor for greater benefits in the future? Uncle, his thinking is very problematic; we must report this."

Liang Jingui was so frightened that he was about to break out in a cold sweat. How could he have become a traitor in such a short time?

Old Man Liang was also startled and quickly advised Jiang Zhizhi, "Little Jiang, you can't say things like that, or you'll be accused of being a traitor."

Then he tapped Liang Jingui again: "How could you take someone else's things? Return the grain coupons to them, then confront Technician Jiang and see what kind of trouble they're up to."

Liang Jingui looked miserable. He had no choice but to agree, and Jiang Zhizhi seemed to be quite difficult to deal with.

Jiang Zhizhi was satisfied: "Okay, let's go find Liu Chunqin during lunch break tomorrow at noon."

Liang Jingui could only agree, but he was still heartbroken to have to return the ten jin of grain coupons.

...

Jiang Zhizhi decided not to go to Sun Xiaoyue, but to make her come to her for help.

Isn't he quite good at causing trouble? And quite good at winning people over?

All the people she found ended up turning into a gun aimed at Sun Xiaoyue!

At noon, Yang Fengmei was cooking when she looked at Jiang Zhizhi, who was helping to tend the fire: "Little Jiang, your short hair looks pretty good too. Who did you get it cut this morning? It looks really good, and you look very energetic."

Jiang Zhizhi touched the ends of her hair, not wanting to say that Zhou Xiye had cut it for her, but then she thought Yang Fengmei would say it was a pity that the two of them couldn't be together.

But it's unrealistic to talk about others; she knows Yang Fengmei, whom she knows.

She smiled and said, "I just did some random tweaks in front of the mirror. It shouldn't look too bad, right?"

Yang Fengmei quickly shook her head: "Not bad, not bad at all. How is it bad? You look absolutely gorgeous. You look so good that people would believe you're sixteen or seventeen."

When Jiang Zhizhi came back, she looked in the mirror. The original owner's face looked good with long hair, which gave her a womanly charm, and she also looked good with short hair, which made her look energetic and neat, and also made her look very young.

Yang Fengmei thought for a moment: "Why did those people at the educated youth settlement spread rumors? Was it because of the drugging incident last time? Are you just going to let it go like this?"

Jiang Zhizhi poked at the fire in the stove with a fire poker, a cold smile playing on her lips: "I definitely won't let it go. They've wronged me, I'm going to settle accounts with them one by one!"

After lunch, Old Man Liang and his son went back to their house to rest, while Yang Fengmei went to the river to wash clothes.

Jiang Zhizhi said she was going back to rest, but after making a quick turn, she headed straight for the educated youth settlement. Those two disgusting men that Sun Xiaoyue had found had probably already left overnight, so there was no way to settle accounts with them.

Let's find Liu Chunqin first. Isn't she quite capable?

He crept up to the outside of the educated youth settlement's courtyard wall, crouched down to listen to the sounds inside, and then determined which room Liu Chunqin was in.

When everyone went back to their rooms for a midday rest, Jiang Zhizhi sneaked in.

She knows this routine all too well!

It's impossible for anyone to discover it.

Arriving outside Liu Chunqin's room, he listened to the sounds inside, then pushed open the door and went in, casually locking it from the inside. He smiled sweetly at Liu Chunqin, who had just sat up in bed with a start!
