Faced with the other person's intense gaze, Lin Chuchu subconsciously turned away, regretting her loose tongue.

"I guessed, after all, you know I do translation work for a newspaper."

She didn't want to say more and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I bought some fruit candies, and seeing that white sugar was in stock, I also bought a pound of white sugar, a pound of brown sugar, a bag of White Rabbit milk candy, and a box of malted milk powder.

The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and it's hard work, so she needs to eat well.

Seeing all those bottles and jars, Lin Chuchu bought soap and face cream.

As she left the supply and marketing cooperative carrying large and small bags of goods, the sales clerks behind her whispered among themselves about her extravagant spending.

Very few people spend money as lavishly as Lin Chuchu, after all, she is used to being poor and frugal.

Lin Chuchu didn't care about any of that. These were all useful things, and health was the foundation of everything, so she had to take good care of herself.

You can't get into university but ruin your health, can you?

Besides, all this money is legitimate income she earned, so she's not afraid of what others will say.

Lin Chuchu didn't know if Mu Chen had listened to her, but she had reminded him anyway.

When she got home, Lin Chuchu was surprised to see a crowd gathered at the door, but she quickly recovered.

Two bicycles were parked in front of the gate, which was wide open.

Lin Chuchu walked up to the brigade leader and the village party secretary and asked, "Brigade leader, village party secretary, what's going on? Why are you trespassing on private property?"

Lin Chuchu's voice was cold. The captain frowned, but before he could speak, an old woman next to him shouted.

"Quickly, officer, Lin Chuchu is back! Arrest her immediately, don't let her escape!"

"Yes, she's a spy, arrest her immediately."

"I knew this girl wasn't a good person. She's always running around to the county; she's obviously not someone who stays at home."

Lin Chuchu's heart skipped a beat. Just then, two police officers in uniform walked out of the room, carrying several sheets of paper.

That was the translation she practiced yesterday.

With the translation certificate, she didn't pay much attention to it.

Lin Chuchu was simply curious about who had reported it.

The one who spoke was the village gossip; the others just pointed and whispered about her, without any outrage.

The police officer walked up to Lin Chuchu. "Lin Chuchu, is that right? Please explain what's going on with these English manuscripts?"

Lin Chuchu nodded, reached into her pocket, and actually took out her temporary translator certificate from her spatial storage.

"Officer, I'm not an enemy agent. I'm a translator for a newspaper. This is my certificate, and those articles are my practice drafts."

The police officer looked at her; her eyes were resolute, showing no sign of fear.

The police officer took the identification and looked it over.

Translators are a rare talent in the country, so the police handed the certificate back to Lin Chuchu.

"Comrade Lin, I'm really sorry, we received a report that enemy agents were found here."

“We contacted the captain and got his permission before we were able to unlock the door and go in to collect evidence. Don’t worry, we didn’t mess up anything inside.”

The police explained that they had no other choice.

What else could Lin Chuchu do? She could only say it was okay.

"Officer, may I ask who reported me?"

"Sorry, we don't know either. We received an anonymous tip."

Knowing it was a misunderstanding, the gossipy women quietly retreated, afraid of incurring Lin Chuchu's wrath.

They have certificates and jobs.

Translators, do you know how much money you make?

"I heard that translators earn a lot of money, almost as much as a factory worker's salary in a month."

"No way, I thought Lin Zhiqing was quite low-key, so there definitely weren't that many."

As soon as the police left, the captain and the village secretary came forward and apologized to Lin Chuchu in a low voice. Lin Chuchu shook her head indifferently, but was just worried about what to do with the lock on the door.

"I have a new lock at home, the kind with three keys. I'll have my wife bring it to you in a bit."

The captain said that they had acted unfairly and that the compensation they were entitled to should not be reduced. Lin Chuchu agreed.

Soon, the brigade leader's wife brought over a padlock, a small basket of vegetables grown in her own garden, and five eggs.

Lin Chuchu didn't want to take it for free, so she handed her a handful of fruit candies.

Lin Chuchu returned home, still unable to figure out who wrote the whistleblower letter. Oh well, they'll probably slip up eventually, she'll just wait and see.

Because of this incident, the team leader gave her easy tasks from then on, still awarding her five work points every day.

Another week passed, and the newspaper finally delivered the letter. Because of what had happened before, Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen were even more cautious.

Seeing the remittance slip for 323 yuan, Lin Chuchu smiled with satisfaction; she now had 1,000 yuan in savings.

Besides the remittance slip, there were several grain coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, a large number of English manuscripts, and a brand new certificate.

With her official translator certificate, she's probably one of the fastest-promoted translators.

Fortunately there was space; otherwise, how could she have translated so quickly?

A formal translator is different from a temporary one; they need to undergo political vetting, which means that from this moment on, she became a member of the state-recognized organization.

Lin Chuchu kept a low profile, working in the mountains every day, picking mushrooms and fruits, and bringing back a lot of firewood.

There aren't many mushrooms left now; you can only find some if you're lucky. However, she did find some pumpkins.

The pumpkin was hidden in a large patch of bushes and was difficult to spot without close inspection.

Lin Chuchu picked a total of 8.

Pumpkins can be stored for a long time, and there's still room for them.
