Chapter 117: Reported
Hua Heng dreams of leaving this place. Although he is not afraid of the hardship here, working like herding cattle and picking up cow dung every day is a complete waste of the knowledge he has learned before.
"Yiyi, do you have any way to help us get rid of this bad reputation?" Hua Heng asked her excitedly.
Li Yiyi put down the half-eaten roasted sweet potato in her hand, then looked at the father and son seriously and said, "Maybe there is a way, but I'm not sure if it will work. But I will try my best to help you."
At this moment, Hua Qiubai suddenly said, "Just help your uncle fight for it. I want to continue staying here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yiyi and Hua Heng looked at him with puzzled eyes at the same time.
"Dad, you don't have any feelings for this place, do you?" Hua Heng looked at him with a helpless look.
Hua Qiubai glared at him and said, "What do you know? Although life here is a little bit hard, there is no intrigue here. Here I don't have to look at those ugly faces. I think it's pretty good here. If you want to leave, just leave by yourself."
Hua Heng looked at him anxiously and said, "Dad, how can I leave you here alone? If you don't leave, how can I leave?"
Hua Qiubai yelled at him, "Why can't you leave if I don't leave? I'm not missing any limbs. I have hands and feet. I can take care of myself. Just go do your own thing and don't worry about an old man like me."
Hua Heng was so angry that he was speechless after hearing his words.
Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel, Li Yiyi quickly interrupted their loud conversation and tried to reconcile them, "Grandpa, uncle, we are just discussing how to leave here in case we can. But this matter has not yet been completed. Who knows, maybe it won't work. Isn't it a bit too early for us to quarrel here over this matter?"
Hua Qiubai looked at Li Yiyi kindly at this time, "Girl, tell me, will it have any impact on you if you help us get rid of this reputation?"
When Hua Heng heard this, he looked at her nervously.
If his niece has any negative impact because of this matter, he would rather stay here.
Li Yiyi quickly felt the love their two relatives had for her, and her heart warmed. She smiled and explained to them, "Don't worry, it won't affect me."
Next, Hua Qiubai took her to take some tests on traditional Chinese medicine before letting her go home.
After a good night's sleep, the next day, when Li Yiyi was packing up the remaining things at home, she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the doorstep.
Before Li Yiyi could go out to see what was going on, she heard the closed door of her house being kicked open from the outside.
Soon after, four or five young men in uniform Zhongshan suits and hats came in.
"Who is Li Yiyi here? Call her out." The young man in the lead shouted loudly with an arrogant look.
Li Yiyi looked at the other person who walked in with bad intentions, walked up and answered, "It's me, who are you?"
"You are Li Yiyi. We received a report that you hid something you shouldn't have hidden. Please come with us and accept investigation." The man in the lead looked at her with a pair of cold eyes.
She thought about it and quickly recalled the landscape painting, and the only person who knew about this was Yang Tao.
Suddenly, she looked around among the villagers who were watching the excitement outside the door, and sure enough, she found a furtive figure in the crowd.
Yang Tao met her gaze, without any guilt in his eyes. He had already given her a chance, but she didn't know how to cherish it and had to force himself to this point.
Li Yiyi saw her eyes that did not avoid him, and she twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at the young man in front of her with a frank face.
Just then, men, women, and children from Chiang's family burst into the crowd.
"Third sister-in-law."
"Third Aunt."
"Mom." All of Jiang's family members swarmed towards her, and several men in the Jiang family stood in front.
"What are you doing? Do you know that my third brother is a soldier and his wife is a military wife? Is this how you treat the family of a soldier who defends the country?" Brother Jiang shouted at them with a flushed face.
When the men who broke in heard that the other party was a soldier's wife, they immediately looked a little embarrassed.
The leader glanced back at his men, gritted his teeth, and turned to Brother Jiang, "We are also handling official business impartially. We received a report that Comrade Li Yiyi has hidden the country's wealth."
"Bullshit, look at this family. If my brother and sister-in-law had secretly hoarded the country's wealth, would they have to live like this?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Ersao immediately rushed up and cursed.
When the onlookers heard this, they also thought it made sense. Besides, since Li Yiyi was the daughter-in-law of Jiangjia Village, they naturally sided with her to some extent.
"Yeah, could it be a scam? If Jiang Hong's wife really had hidden the country's wealth, she would have moved to the city to enjoy a good life. Why would she live in such a shabby house?"
"That's right, could it be that this report letter is a lie?"
Yang Tao, standing in the crowd, looked at the villagers who were talking next to her with an unhappy face. She really wanted to tell them what they knew. Li Yiyi was holding a treasure map in her hand. She remembered that in her previous life, this treasure seemed to be discovered more than ten years later. When the treasure was discovered, it was reported in newspapers for several days. The boxes of gold in the newspapers made her eyes red when she was washing dishes in the restaurant at that time.
"Boss, what should we do now? She is a military wife. Do we really have to take her away?" At this time, a thin man walked up to the man in the lead and whispered in his ear.
"Nonsense, is the report letter fake? So what if she is a military wife? We have evidence, what are we afraid of?" The man in the lead grabbed the man who came forward to ask questions and scolded him.
"We are doing official business now. This is a letter of accusation. It says that Li Yiyi is hiding the country's wealth. If you have any questions, you can come to the city's defense team to find us." After saying that, he winked at several of his men.
"Who among you dares to touch my third brother's wife?" Brother Jiang shouted with his fists clenched.
"What? You still want to stop us? Fine, we'll take you in too." Seeing this, the man in charge shouted loudly with a fierce look on his face.
Li Yiyi looked at the tense atmosphere in front of her and knew that she had to go with them this time. Otherwise, if a fight broke out, the Jiang family would be the ones who suffered in the end.
