Chapter 193: Rather than being bullied by him in the future, it’s better to change the leader...

The next morning, Yao Zhizhi was brushing her teeth by the well when a white parrot flew back.

It was Yiyi who hadn't returned home all night. She stopped on the clothesline in front of Yao Zhizhi and spoke in human language -

"Old Deng, collect the money, collect the money."

"Xiao Qiu, I'm so angry."

Yao Zhizhi quickly rinsed and wiped her mouth, then asked, "Who did Lao Deng take the money from?"

Yiyi was a snake after all, so she couldn't speak in complete sentences. She just said crisply, "Old cow, old cow, moo, moo."

Is that Xiao Maverick’s father?

Yao Zhizhi asked again: "Who made Xiao Qiu angry?"

Yiyi shook her neck and said arrogantly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is so bad."

Okay, Yao Zhizhi has figured it out. We should be able to get Xiao Qiu to testify. As for Old Deng, there's probably no hope.

We need to find other evidence, or find something to hold against Deng Xiaoping, so as to give him a warning and make him change his words.

In short, this matter had to be told to Xiao Jin. Considering that Xiao Yueliang was still sleeping in the west room, Yao Zhizhi asked Qi Changxiao to go to the police station.

It was not yet working hours, but when Qi Changxiao arrived there, Lao Qiao had already arrived early.

Seeing Qi Changxiao, he comforted him, "Don't worry. Your mother told me that I will help keep an eye on this matter. Zhang Wang should be considered a brave man, so he will be fine."

"But the uncle selling popsicles accepted money from the Niu family." Qi Changxiao looked worried, "He might commit perjury then."

"Don't be afraid. The police don't just look at evidence and not the motive. Zhang Wang and Xiao Niu don't have any conflict of interest. Why would they beat someone for no reason? Besides, Zhang Wang and Ye Zheng are just ordinary colleagues, and there is no relationship between men and women. No matter what, Zhang Wang has no motive." Lao Qiao is an old policeman after all, and he is still very calm when encountering things.

Qi Changxiao thought about it and said, "Then I'll leave it to Uncle Qiao. I'll go check on Xiao Qiu. If his brother and sister-in-law force him to give false testimony, it will be a headache for you too."

"That's true. Go ahead." Lao Qiao, knowing the dangers of three people making a tiger, warned, "Talk to him nicely and don't reveal any key information to him."

"Yeah." Qi Changxiao went to the duty room and glanced at Zhang Wang who had woken up. He gave him a reassuring look and turned to leave.

Zhang Wang was very touched that he could still have a good appetite even when he was detained.

Qi Changxiao quickly arrived at the Qiu family and found that the lame little Qiu was working very hard to light the stove and cook breakfast in the yard.

His sister-in-law was still insulting him in the room, calling him a freeloader, a termite, and a vampire.

Say whatever ugly words you want.

Qi Changxiao couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. When he was still a sickly child, the people in the Qi family's old house had scolded him a lot.

The pain of being hurt by a loved one will never go away in your lifetime.

He walked over and took the tongs from Xiao Qiu's hand: "Can you do handicrafts?"

Xiao Qiu knew Qi Changxiao, but they had never spoken to each other and were not familiar with each other. He looked at Qi Changxiao in surprise and nodded: "I know a little. What's the matter?"

Of course, after Yao Weihua left, the bamboo products store had to continue operating. Xiaoqiao was about to take an exam and was short of someone.

Qi Changxiao asked, "If I give you some bamboo strips, what can you do?"

"Baskets, baskets, bamboo plaques, baskets, bamboo dragonflies, little frogs, rabbits..." Xiao Qiu listed a lot of them.

Qi Changxiao was relieved: "Then come with me, I need someone in my shop."

"But my leg..." Xiao Qiu was a little hesitant. It's not that he didn't try to find a job, but he was lame and no one was willing to hire him.

He was really afraid that he would disappoint Qi Changxiao.

Qi Changxiao comforted him, "What's wrong with your legs? Isn't it enough to have hands for manual work? Come with me, and I'll go to work today."

"Okay!" Happiness came so suddenly that Xiao Qiu couldn't believe it and quickly dropped the half-burned stove.

Seeing him leaving, his sister-in-law got anxious and came out to ask, "Are you leaving just like that? Who's going to make breakfast? Who's going to take the kids to school later?"

Xiao Qiu looked back at his selfish and vicious sister-in-law, then at his brother who was hiding in the house and refused to come out. He was extremely disappointed and without saying a word, he dragged Qi Changxiao away.

Qi Changxiao took him to the bamboo products store. Xiaoqiao had already been there and was now leaning on the counter reading a book.

Seeing Qi Changxiao brought someone with him, he was quite happy and greeted him warmly: "Brother Qi, have you had breakfast?"

Qi Changxiao shook his head: "Not yet. Xiaoqiao, you can just call him Brother Qiu. Starting today, he will be working with you in the store. You have an exam soon, so help him get familiar with the job content as soon as possible, and then hand it over to him. You can review well."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Qi." Xiaoqiao's father was a policeman after all, so she probably knew a little about the situation of these families around her. She quickly brought a stool for Qiu Ze to sit on, "Brother Qiu, can you read the account book?"

"I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it will work." Qiu Ze was honest and looked at Xiaoqiao with a silly smile.

Xiaoqiao also smiled: "That's okay, I'll show you through it, it's very simple..."

Qi Changxiao saw that there was nothing to worry about, so he left. He still had to meet Old Deng.

Lao Deng lived on Yucai Road, which was closer to the central city. It was a bit far to ride a bike, so he planned to ask his mother for a shoulder bag.

Yao Zhizhi was worried that he was hungry, so she waited at the entrance of the alley. When she saw him come back, she quickly took him to her second sister's place to have breakfast first.

After eating, insist on going with him. Maybe the melon-eating system can know something.

"Where's Xiaoyueliang?" Qi Changxiao didn't see his daughter and thought Xiaonini was still asleep.

Yao Zhizhi smiled and said, "She got up right after you left and is playing with Tingfeng in the inner room."

Qi Changxiao hurried to the inner room to take a look, and sure enough, the two little sisters were playing with their hair flowers, as happy as two little fools. He was finally relieved, and after dinner, he hurried to Old Deng's place with Yao Zhizhi.

On the way, Yao Zhizhi reminded him, "You're almost late for work. Don't say anything when you get there. I'll just take a look and leave. Come back at noon."

"Okay." Qi Changxiao sped up.

On a summer morning, the air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees. Yao Zhizhi sat in the sidecar and suddenly felt a little emotional. She had always said that she wanted to learn how to drive a shoulder cart, but she never had the time. This was probably the helplessness of adults. There were too many trivial matters in life, and some things that were not so urgent for the time being had to be put aside.

After this round of review is over, she can take a short break and start learning quickly. It would be best if she could learn about four-wheeled vehicles as well. Unfortunately, she currently has no chance to get in touch with such a vehicle.

What a pity.

When they arrived at Old Deng's house, the couple said nothing, just looked at each other and left.

On the way back, Qi Changxiao asked, "Did the system ring?"

"It rang." Yao Zhizhi took a look and realized that anyone who was willing to help the evildoers in this world must be not clean.

Lao Deng’s story is very melodramatic and boring - although he has no skills and can only sell popsicles to make a living, he is a playboy. When he was young, he relied on his good looks to develop an extraordinary relationship with his neighbor’s wife and even had a child.

Yao Zhizhi suddenly had an idea: "Tell me, how big a role did Lao Li play in this matter?"

"At least he's adding fuel to the fire. He's definitely going to threaten Ye Zheng and force her to bow down." Qi Changxiao was furious. "If only he could be dragged into this incident. Does he really think he can get away with this kind of trouble every time?"

"Yeah, so I was thinking, if Director Yuan knew about this..." Yao Zhizhi smiled, "Maybe he could just fire President Li and replace him with someone else."

"The key is who to replace him? What if the new one is not as good as him?" Qi Changxiao was helpless. After all, he and Yao Zhizhi had too little experience. Even if he brought down President Li, he would have no chance.

Yao Zhizhi pondered for a moment: "No matter what, if we want to save Zhang Wang, we must punish Xiao Niu. We will definitely offend President Li. Rather than letting him make things difficult for us in the future, it is better to take him down once and for all and make him go away."

"I'm afraid Ye Zheng will turn against us." Qi Changxiao said helplessly, "She still needs President Li's care. She's living under someone else's roof. I don't trust her that much."

"Well, let's talk about it at noon." Yao Zhizhi still had important things to do. The manuscript collection meeting for the next issue of the magazine was about to be held. The publishing house also had some new book manuscripts that needed to be reviewed. If they could be printed, she would contact the printing factory, and if they could not be printed, they would be returned.

When she arrived at the office, she got busy.

Li Xiaobei took a leave of absence early in the morning to come and see her. Seeing that she had one meeting after another, she couldn't bear to disturb her, so she stayed in the communication room until she got off work at noon.

Yao Zhizhi didn't know she was coming and walked straight to the carport. Li Xiaobei quickly chased after her: "Editor-in-Chief Yao!"

Yao Zhizhi turned around and suddenly remembered what Zhang Wang had said before. She smiled and asked, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived too." Li Xiaobei didn't want to make things difficult for Yao Zhizhi, so she told a white lie.

Yao Zhizhi walked towards the reception room: "What's the matter? Come in and tell me."

"I..." Li Xiaobei looked at Xie Dayou and found it difficult to speak.

Xie Dayou was a man of understanding and tact. Seeing this, he picked up his hookah, stood up and said, "You young people, chat. I'm going out to smoke. By the way, kid, why didn't Xiao Zhang come today?"

Yao Zhizhi gave a brief explanation.

Xie Dayou sneered: "It seems that some people don't want to spend their old age in peace. Tell Xiao Qi not to worry, I will take care of this."

Qi Changxiao came out just in time, and Yao Zhizhi waved to him, asking him to tell Xie Dayou the details.

After the two left, Yao Zhizhi closed the door of the reception room: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I don't know who to talk to, so I can only come to you." Li Xiaobei couldn't explain why, but she just felt that Yao Zhizhi was very reliable.

If it was just because Yao Zhizhi saved her sister, she wouldn't trust Yao Zhizhi so much.

What's more, on the day she murdered her father, when she jumped from the train compartment onto the platform, she saw Yao Zhizhi sitting by the window.

She didn't know how much Yao Zhizhi knew about her, but she instinctively felt that Yao Zhizhi was a very trustworthy person.

She thought about it, then said stubbornly, "I think his smile is fake and hypocritical. I suspect he approached my sister with some purpose, but I have no evidence."

Yao Zhizhi was very surprised. It was not easy for Li Xiaobei to notice this.

But maybe it was the anonymous letter that did it?

So she tentatively asked, "Is there any information source saying that he is not a good person?"

"No, my mom took a day off and visited their commune, but she couldn't find out anything." Li Xiaobei didn't know about the anonymous letter, but she was still worried. "Am I overthinking it? Maybe I just don't want my sister to be hurt again."

Yao Zhizhi fell into a long silence. What could she say? There was no evidence.

After much thought, she could only come up with a ridiculous idea: "This way——"
