Chapter 47: What a big black pot

During this period, Xu Xiaoyue was extremely busy.

After work every day, she didn't go home immediately, but rushed to find the agent aunt. This time she was determined to move out of the Yan family.

The reason why she hesitated before was that she was worried that she didn't have enough money, but she didn't expect that when she was washing clothes last time, she actually took out a handful of money and bills from her pocket.

Xu Xiaoyue then belatedly recalled the last time Yan Ye took her to a farm house run by his comrade-in-arms for dinner. The man made her cry and took out a stack of bills to coax her.

How could Xu Xiaoyue accept it at that time? She even felt that the man was deliberately insulting her.

As she cried, she did not notice when Yan Ye put these bills and money in when she was not paying attention. In addition to money, there were also various sugar coupons, cloth coupons, etc., so complete that she wondered if this man had planned it in advance.

Zheng Jiaojiao was not unaware of Xu Xiaoyue's abnormal behavior these days.

She originally suspected that Xu Xiaoyue had someone outside, so she secretly followed the woman several times and actually saw Xu Xiaoyue chattering with a woman. I followed her for three consecutive days, and went house hunting with this woman every time.

Zheng Jiaojiao was extremely surprised. Xu Xiaoyue actually wanted to rent a house?

Who can she, a lesbian, live with?

Putting aside other things, even if she rented a room by herself, where would she get so much money?

Although jobs in supermarkets can be considered as stable jobs, the salaries for employees like them are not enough to afford rent.

In addition to renting a house, she also has to live on her own. Where does all this money come from?

For this reason, Zheng Jiaojiao often hinted to Liu Ye that if the Yan family gave money to Xu Xiaoyue, there was no reason for them to ignore her.

After thinking about various channels, I found that the most unlikely guess was the one I came up with.

Maybe Xu Xiaoyue really stole things from the supermarket and then sold them secretly. Yes, she often went in and out of the warehouse, and no one followed her. If she really took some small things out to sell quietly, no one would necessarily notice.

No wonder Xu Xiaoyue had no enthusiasm for dating in the compound. It turned out that she had found other ways and was doing such shameful things behind the scenes.

Zheng Jiaojiao did not hide this discovery and told Gao Yuan directly.

"Are you sure she really took the thing?" Gao Yuan narrowed her eyes.

"If she hadn't taken the things from the warehouse, where would she get the money to rent a house?"

Zheng Jiaojiao said, reaching into her pocket and taking out a piece of paper, "I saw this fall out from her clothes."

Gao Yuan took the note and saw that it was written with a certain number, and the account had purchases of braised pork, vegetarian dishes... and the last name on it was Comrade Xu who spent eight yuan.

It was a simple receipt. Gao Yuan smiled from ear to ear. "It seems that we didn't wrongly accuse her."

Zheng Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and came up with a plan: "Since she has already stolen it, why don't we help her and make the fire burn more vigorously."

The two smiled at each other, and had already had bad ideas in their minds.

Looking at the bill, Manager Yan's brows twisted like a knot. "What do you mean? Are you saying that there are so many things missing from the warehouse after the inventory this month?"

The elder sister in charge of the inventory lowered her head, not daring to look at the woman, "Manager Yan, I don't know what's going on here."

"We check inventory on the 28th of every month, but this month the bill doesn't match, and there's even less..."

She pursed her lips, prepared herself mentally, and then finished the rest of the words, "A lot of new payments are missing."

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly. Who dares to steal public property? I wonder who is so bold as to risk his life." The woman said angrily.

The lady who was doing the inventory stood aside, and several employees went in in batches to review the statements.

When it was Zheng Jiaojiao's turn, she winked at Gao Yuan, and the woman immediately understood.

Gao Yuan stood up, her eyes changed, pretending to be very hesitant, and looked at the woman sitting above, "Manager Yan, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Manager Yan rubbed his temple and looked at the woman. "You are also an old employee. You know my personality. If you have something to say, just say it directly."

"That's right. I've seen Comrade Xu Xiaoyue sneaking out of the warehouse several times, and she's been in charge of the display of goods on the counter during this period." Gao Yuan hesitated, as if she had been struggling for a long time before she said these words.

Manager Yan straightened his expression and asked, "Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, yes, otherwise I wouldn't dare to say anything nonsense, Manager Yan." Gao Yuan said with a look of grievance.

Zheng Jiaojiao beside her shook her body deliberately, then stood up and whispered, "Manager, I think Gao Yuan's guess is not unreasonable."

She raised her eyes to meet the woman's gaze, took out a note from her pocket and handed it to her, "Manager Yan, this is the receipt I saw inside Xu Xiaoyue's clothes."

Manager Yan took the receipt and looked at it. It was an ordinary receipt, but she read it over and over again, as if she wanted to stare a hole through it.

"Where did you get it?" She looked at Zheng Jiaojiao with scrutiny in her eyes.

Zheng Jiaojiao had anticipated her questioning and answered calmly, "You know, I live with her. This accidentally fell out of her clothes and I picked it up."

After she finished speaking, she added: "Also, Xu Xiaoyue hasn't returned home on time since she left work these days, and she even found an agent outside to move out."

Zheng Jiaojiao was afraid that the woman in front of her would not believe it, so she thought for a moment and continued, "If you think I am slandering her, you can call someone to confront me."

Manager Yan raised his head, looked at the person taking inventory next to him, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go, call Xu Xiaoyue to me."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Xiaoyue was brought in. "Manager Yan, you're looking for me?"

"Is this receipt yours?" Manager Yan raised his hand and handed it to her.

Xu Xiaoyue took it and looked at it. "It's mine. Is there any problem?"

Manager Yan didn't say anything, but her expression became much more serious. She looked at Xu Xiaoyue's expression, not missing any details.

Xu Xiaoyue felt very uncomfortable being stared at by this gaze, and frowned and said, "I eat the meal, but there is no rule that workers on duty cannot go to restaurants."

"Let me ask you again, during this period of time, have you wanted to rent a house and found an agent?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyue was even more confused. She tilted her head to glance at Zheng Jiaojiao and admitted neatly, "Yes, I do have this idea."

After getting a positive answer, the woman patted the table and looked at Xu Xiaoyue, "Then tell me, why did you steal public property?"

"Public property? I don't quite understand what you mean." Xu Xiaoyue looked down at the receipt. She just had a meal, so how did it have anything to do with public property? Even if she wanted to rent a house, what did it have to do with the public?

"Check how many times Xu Xiaoyue has entered and exited the warehouse and whether there is any warehouse manager with her." Seeing that she was still quibbling, Manager Yan turned his head and looked at the inventory checker next to him.

The atmosphere in the room was terribly low. Zheng Jiaojiao hung her head, her eyes full of pride.

"I went into the warehouse six times this month, and only four times was I accompanied by a management staff member. The records of the other two times were blank." The aunt who was taking inventory said word by word.

Manager Yan looked at the man with disappointment, "Now, what else do you have to say?"
