Chapter 178 A person with a good temper does not mean he will never get angry
As soon as school was over, Ye Xiaomei heard more rumors, which even overshadowed the rumors that she was pregnant and had an affair with a male classmate.
He is called a scoundrel, a social parasite, and a scourge to the school.
Yesterday, Ye Xiaomei still thought that she didn't need to care about other people's opinions and just lived her own life well, but there were people who didn't let her live a good life.
After returning to the dormitory, Ye Xiaomei was very tired. However, if she didn't chop the meat she bought in the morning and sell it, it would easily go bad. She dragged her exhausted body while working and adjusting her mood.
The moment she turned her head in class today, she really saw some images in Li Xiaochun.
Ye Xiaomei straightened her face immediately: "Shang Zhen, do you think I would risk ruining my reputation to steal fifty yuan?"
"What are you talking about? I just kept silent and wondered what was wrong. I really didn't doubt you. Besides, your last words in class this morning were so powerful. They touched my heart."
Shang Zhen explained while chopping the meat.
"Then let me ask you, has Jia Nannan come to our dormitory recently?" Ye Xiaomei saw Jia Nannan meeting Li Xiaochun in the garden behind the school, but she couldn't tell which day they met, so she couldn't be sure at the time.
"She has been here. She came last night when you said you were going out to make a phone call." Shang Zhen had never thought about how this matter had anything to do with Jia Nannan, and looked at Ye Xiaomei in confusion.
"Last night?" Ye Xiaomei quickly put down the rolling pin.
"What are you doing?"
"Look for Jia Nannan." Ye Xiaomei said this.
"Don't run away. I'll go and pull her over here." Shang Zhen put down the kitchen knife and went out. Soon, Jia Nannan was brought over by Shang Zhen, who plugged the bolt in with his backhand.
Jia Nannan's shoulders trembled in fear, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled dryly: "Ye Xiaomei, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Ye Xiaomei could tell at a glance that she felt guilty, and she didn't waste any words:
"You know about the rumor going around in school today, right? Tell me, was it you who did it?"
Shang Zhen hadn't expected Ye Xiaomei to be so straightforward when she was serious. He was stunned. Oh my goodness, Ye Xiaomei's guess must be right:
"Speak." He stepped on the stool with one leg, picked up one of the legs and clapped it in his palm a few times.
Jia Nannan looked at Ye Xiaomei with sharp eyes, and then looked at Shang Zhen who was holding a stick and took two steps back in fear. He shook his head in panic and his body went limp, almost falling to his knees:
"It really wasn't me. I didn't do it."
"What made you so scared?" Ye Xiaomei's voice was soft, forming a sharp contrast with her cold eyes.
"That's right, tell me now, do you remember that community official? I was the one who sent her to the hospital. I dared to beat her, not to mention you."
Shang Zhen was the tough one, and the two of them, one soft and one hard, frightened Jia Nannan so much that she pressed her back against the door and dared not move:
"It really wasn't me. She did come to me yesterday afternoon, and the first thing she asked was whether I was the only one in the dormitory who had a good time with you two. I nodded, and I thought so, because there was no one else in your dormitory, and then..."
"Then what? Tell me quickly!" Shang Zhen came over holding the leg of the bench.
"Then she gave me two fifty-dollar bills, one of which she said was to be placed in the books in my schoolbag, and the other fifty yuan was given to me. I was also... tempted at the time, but I didn't know what she wanted to do, and she didn't tell me."
Jia Nannan trembled as she recounted the entire process. She knew that this matter was definitely not a good thing, but she just didn't know what she was going to do.
But in the end she was moved and did come to the dormitory. Shang Zhen was lying on the bunk reading a novel. She also found Ye Xiaomei's schoolbag, right next to her bed.
She sat carefully beside Ye Xiaomei's bed, chatting with Shang Zhen to divert her attention, while taking money out of her pocket and putting it in her pocket.
At this point, Jia Nannan was so frightened that she cried out, covering her face and fell to the ground:
"I remembered... I remembered the man who saved my dad. He was your husband, Ye Xiaomei. I felt so sorry for you. I couldn't get over it and didn't do it. At that time, Li Xiaochun didn't leave the school at night and stayed in dormitory 205. I returned all the money to her. She was very angry and slapped me. I don't know what happened after that."
Shang Zhen saw that her crying didn't look fake, and he exchanged a glance with Ye Xiaomei.
Only after Ye Xiaomei nodded did Shang Zhen continue, "Has anyone else come to Room 205 since you left?"
This time it's Ye Xiaomei's turn. I'm going out to make a phone call. Don't you know if there are other people in the dormitory?
"I really don't know. Some of them left the dormitory, but I couldn't ask them all what they were doing. Some of them went to have a midnight snack, and some said they went to the night market. As for who came back later, I really don't know."
Jia Nannan wiped away her tears in a mess and said, "I'm sorry Ye Xiaomei, I almost lost my mind at the beginning, just a little bit. Today I heard about you stealing money in school, and then I realized how scary it was. Then when Shang Zhen came to find me just now, I knew why. I was wrong."
"Fortunately you didn't do it, so don't blame yourself. How about this, you wash your face and go back to the dormitory. If you hear that someone came to my dormitory yesterday, tell me. You don't have to let others know that I asked you a question."
Ye Xiaomei finished speaking calmly, and Jia Nannan nodded vigorously. This was a chance to make amends, otherwise she would feel guilty.
After the others left, Ye Xiaomei looked at Shang Zhen with a half-smile.
"You...are you looking at me? You won't doubt me, will you? I've given you all my belongings to take care of. I treat you like a housekeeper."
It was the first time that Shang Zhen saw Ye Xiaomei's eyes look so strange, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.
"Didn't you know someone came to the dormitory during the half hour I was out on the phone?"
"So that's what happened. I knew about it when Jia Nannan came. Just as she said, she sat by your bed and talked to me for a while. She also asked me where you had been. Then she said she hadn't done anything and left. After she left, I closed the door without locking it, and went to take a shit with the book in my hand."
I think he was taking a shit, but I thought it was just at the other end of the corridor, so I didn't have to come back and open the door after I was done.
Hey... Ye Xiaomei smacked her lips: "We have at least two hundred yuan in change left in the dormitory. I told you to lock the door when you go out. Now, we haven't lost our money, and we have fifty yuan more."
The strong sarcasm made Shang Zhen laugh and cry: "Am I a pig teammate?"
Ye Xiaomei let out a long sigh: "Well, if we want to dig thoroughly this time and leave Li Xiaochun no loopholes to exploit, we can only wait for news from Jia Nannan."
Shang Zhen was no longer in the mood to read novels: "Yeah, and there has been no dormitory manager for the past one or two months, and no one is watching over us. Do you think it will work if we only ask Jia Nannan to testify?"
"There are loopholes. Since she is capable of doing such a thing that harms others and herself, if there is insufficient evidence, she may make a big fuss out of desperation. What I want is to kill the dog immediately."
This is the most reliable way, otherwise it will be the difference between a spark and a prairie fire.
Shang Zhen took another look at Ye Xiaomei. She looked so energetic, especially like she was in the hospital, which was very different from usual.
"Then shall we set up the stall in the evening?"
"Why not? If I'm too scared to go out, people at school will definitely think that I stole the money and don't dare to show myself."
