Zhou Mingli's idea coincided with Jiang Ci's, but Jiang Ci said it aloud while Zhou Mingli did not.
Both of them looked a little ugly.
How can I not be angry?
Xia Lei is truly disgusting. He tried to frame Jiang Ci by sending her food to the cowshed, but failed. Now he's trying to use this cultural relic to frame her and send her to jail.
These methods are really not very clever. If they succeed, Jiangci will definitely suffer a significant loss.
It's really disgusting.
Jiang Ci, unusually gloomy, spoke with a hint of frost in his voice, "An eye for an eye!"
Jiang Ci was originally waiting for the police to pry Li Hu out of his mouth and expose Xia Lei, so that she wouldn't have to get involved anymore.
But now we don't have to wait anymore.
The cultural relics are all in her hands, so she can say whatever she wants and do whatever she wants.
Jiang Ci didn't give Xia Lei any chance at all.
This time, she'll definitely crush Xia Lei.
You're the kind of person who does these disgusting things to benefit your family, aren't you?
I'll make you die because of your own schemes!
How could Zhou Mingli not understand Jiang Ci's meaning?
He nodded and said, "I'll hide this thing. You quietly push the bicycle to the village entrance, and I'll go to town tonight."
It's better to do this sooner rather than later; let's shut Xia Lei down first.
Jiang Ci nodded directly and continued, "Once you get there, first ask the police officer Li Hu if he has confessed. If he hasn't, have them go directly to the archaeological team and apprehend the bespectacled man. Let that bespectacled man testify about the plate, and Xia Lei will suffer an even more terrible death."
Zhou Mingli glanced at her and smiled. "Don't you trust me to do things?"
Jiang Ci raised her chin, "Do I need to point out your tricks?"
If Zhou Mingli were truly the kind of man who only lives off women, Jiang Ci wouldn't even give him a second glance.
"Wait until I go to town, you stay home and don't come with me." Zhou Mingli walked into the house, changed out of his fishy-smelling clothes, wrapped the plates, and went out.
Jiang Ci pushed her bicycle and accompanied him for a short distance, telling him to avoid houses with dogs.
It's not uncommon for people in the countryside to keep dogs. Jiang Ci vaguely remembered which families did, and told Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Mingli turned left and right, carefully avoiding passing by any houses with dogs. It was already past midnight, and there was little entertainment in the countryside. Most houses were detached, so once people fell asleep, they generally wouldn't wake up unless they heard a dog barking or got up in the middle of the night.
Zhou Mingli arrived quietly outside Xia Lei's house.
The lights were off in his house, and you could vaguely hear rustling voices.
Zhou Mingli didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, but he made sure to move quietly and began looking for a suitable spot outside. He squinted as he surveyed the surroundings and actually found a good spot.
Outside Xia Lei's courtyard wall, there were many earthenware pots of all sizes. Some were planted with flowers, and some were planted with grass. Although there weren't many, they were quite pleasing to the eye. Some of the pots were empty, with only some soil inside.
Zhou Mingli then went over and emptied all the soil from one of the suitable earthenware pots, placed the plate at the bottom, and buried the soil back in.
After returning the items to their original place, Zhou Mingli cleaned up any traces of disturbance at the scene and left calmly and quickly. The whole process was swift and quiet, and no one noticed that someone had hidden something in the earthenware pot at the base of Xia Lei's courtyard wall.
There are no cameras around, so it would be too easy to do something bad.
When Zhou Mingli arrived at the village entrance, Jiang Ci, who had been hiding, saw him and popped her head out.
She waved to Zhou Mingli, and when he saw it, he rushed over.
Zhou Mingli said in a low voice, "They're all hidden. I'm going to town now."
Jiang Ci whispered back, "Be careful on the road."
Zhou Mingli gave a low "hmm," and said, "Go back quickly, and lock the door when you get home."
The two exchanged a few words of advice, and Zhou Mingli rode his bicycle into the dark towards town. Jiang Ci watched his retreating figure and returned home.
If it were just her and Zhou Mingli at home, Jiang Ci could lock the door and go to town with him, but there were two children at home.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao are only three years old, too young to be separated from adults for long periods of time.
Only one of her and Zhou Mingli could stay at home to look after the child.
Clearly, in this day and age, if a woman were riding her bicycle at night, a man could actually jump out of the fields, rape her, kill her, and steal her bicycle.
Jiang Ci took advantage of the darkness and ran all the way home.
...
After hiding the things behind the Zhou family's house, Xia Lei went home, quickly washed up, and lay down on the bed.
Liu Yinyin's fragrant body rolled into his arms.
Hearing his wife's soft voice, Xia Lei asked, "Why are you so late?"
"I went to take care of something." Xia Lei hugged Liu Yinyin and lowered his voice, "Yinyin, don't sleep yet, I have something to tell you."
Liu Yinyin gave a muffled "hmm" and barely opened her eyes. "What's wrong?"
Xia Lei patted her head. "Jiang Ci can't escape this time. The job of delivering food to the cowshed will be freed up. You'll still have time after you finish writing the manuscript, so why don't you take on this job?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yinyin fully sobered up. "What do you mean? Jiang Ci is going to be taken away by the Red Armband, and you want me to take her place? Then I'd be... Xia Lei, have you taken a fancy to someone else, so you're in a hurry to kick me out?!"
Liu Yinyin's voice was rather loud, and her eyes held disbelief.
"What are you thinking! That's not what I meant!" Xia Lei quickly reassured her. "Let me explain!"
Liu Yinyin was furious and glared at Xia Lei as he tried to justify himself.
