Chapter 50 Suspicion
Although the woman was pretty, she was also very fierce. He didn't dare to fall in love with her.
"Haha, Wang Bin, I think you just like her. If that woman likes you, would you be willing to marry her?"
I am definitely happy about this.
Wang Bin said this silently in his heart, but the key is that the person doesn't like him. He still has this self-awareness.
"By the way, what did Sister Xia Liang mean just now? What's the matter between her and Bing Kuai? Why do you say that Bing Kuai is responsible for wanting to marry Sister Xia Liang?"
Later, Yang Xiaohong finally remembered the wrong place.
After listening to the corner of the wall for a long time, I ended up being confused.
"Why is a kid asking so many questions?" Wang Bin raised his hand and knocked Yang Xiaohong on the head. Yang Xiaohong immediately got angry and wanted to fight back, but Wang Bin quickly said, "Hush, let's hear what they have to say."
Yang Xiaohong raised her hand in the air, but suddenly couldn't bring it down. Seeing Wang Bin's irritating smile, Yang Xiaohong glared at him fiercely, and before he could react, she raised her foot and crushed his foot.
Hiss! Wang Bin gasped in pain. This little girl really holds a grudge. She's so cruel!
It’s a pity that he didn’t dare to say a word now. If Brother Yuan heard it, he would have to double the training when he returned.
…
"Ning Zhiyuan."
The silence between the two was a bit awkward. Xia Liang suddenly remembered the matter of Zhou Hao's father. She had no idea what to do.
"Um?"
"Do you know many people? Can you help me check someone?"
Xia Liang had no choice but to ask Ning Zhiyuan.
"who?"
"Zhou Hao's father, Zhou Zheng."
Zhou Zheng, the name was chosen to represent a righteous person, but this person did not live up to his name. Although he was careful in his actions, he was still found out later and found to have accepted bribes.
At that time, almost all of the Zhou family's property was confiscated. That was the most difficult period. She remembered that she had read the materials at that time. Zhou Zheng was not clean at that time. Otherwise, with the salary of him and Zhou's mother, how could the Zhou family live so comfortably?
"What about him?"
"I suspect he accepted bribes. Ning Zhiyuan, did you see Zhou's mother when she came over that day? Her clothes must have cost at least several hundred yuan, and she gave Zhou Hao a lot of things. Do you think they can afford all these things with their salary?"
"And how difficult is it for us to go back to the city? But he can do it easily. I think there must be something wrong."
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Xia Liang deeply, but did not agree.
Xia Liang was worried. These were all speculations, without any evidence. As we saw later, because too much time had passed and there was no evidence, it became an unsolved case.
She asked Ning Zhiyuan to investigate, purely to use him! At this time, accepting bribes is a serious crime.
"Ning Zhiyuan, is that okay?"
Xia Liang looked at him pitifully, and her innocent eyes, like those of a little rabbit, made Ning Zhiyuan's heart soften inexplicably.
"It's late, go to bed."
In the end, he still didn't agree. Xia Liang pouted, alas, it's a pity that I am still too weak and don't have many connections.
I'm stuck in this village all day, with nothing to do. It would be great if I could go to the provincial capital.
When Xia Liang returned, Yang Xiaohong had already lain down, and she didn't know whether she was asleep or not.
Xia Liang didn't call her either. She was still thinking about Ning Zhiyuan's attitude. He was a soldier. If he knew about this, would he care?
It’s a pity that she didn’t study it carefully in her previous life. It would have been great if there was substantial evidence.
Although there were people watching the reservoir day and night, there were still villagers who went there at night to try to pick up some things. Even though there were troops, there were still many people who took the risk.
In the end, this place had to be surrounded by a net.
After the tomb was identified, it was not easy to dig it up, as it was a huge undertaking. The higher-ups still asked the village to send people to help.
In order to prevent the items inside from being smuggled out, strict inspections are carried out when entering and leaving, and the supervision is extremely strict.
Each village still sent its original people over. At this time, it was all manual work, and the progress was slow. Ning Zhiyuan and Wang Bin also participated.
Xia Liang no longer had to take care of anyone, so she finally started working.
As soon as the market bell rang early in the morning, Xia Liang followed Yang Xiaohong out!
There was one more person in the gathering, but few people would notice it. Xia Liang felt a little embarrassed. Why had she not been here for such a long time?
All the educated youth in the village went to repair the reservoir. Should she go with them or continue working in the village?
"Xia Liang girl."
Yang Laowu was quite considerate. When he saw Xia Liang, he smiled warmly:
"You can also follow us to the reservoir."
Xia Liang nodded, and Li Xue curled her lips in disdain: "I thought you didn't have to work as hard as us because you climbed up the ladder, but it turns out... hehe..."
The sarcasm in the last two words is self-evident.
"Li Xue, please stop talking. Xia Liang had other tasks a few days ago. What do you mean by climbing up the social ladder?"
Xu Jun usually seldom speaks, but this time he took the initiative to speak up for Xia Liang, who was a little flattered.
"You...Xu Jun, you are not also attracted to Xia Liang, right?"
Li Xue didn't expect that even though Xia Liang hadn't come for such a long time, Xu Jun still sided with her. What the hell is this Xia Liang? How many men does she want to seduce?
"Li Xue, if you don't want to do it, just go back. Didn't you brush your teeth? Why do you talk so badly?"
Yang Xiaohong also looked down on Li Xue for the way she would criticize anyone she met and spoke without reservation. If someone didn't know, they would think that Xia Liang was really having an affair with that person.
"You... Yang Xiaohong, why do you have things to do everywhere?"
Li Xue had always been very patient with Yang Xiaohong. She felt inexplicably unhappy when this woman stood on Xia Liang's side without any bottom line.
"I'm talking about Xia Liang. What does it have to do with you?"
"Xia Liang is not related to you. If you protect her like this, what good can she bring to you?"
"Haha, who do you think you are? Benefits? I really like Sister Xia Liang, do I need any benefits?"
Yang Xiaohong snorted coldly and looked at Li Xue with disdain in her eyes:
"Or do you mean that in your heart, before you hang out with someone, you should first think about what benefits they can bring to you? If there are no benefits, then they are not worthy of being with you?"
"You are so realistic, no wonder no one wants to be with you."
Yang Xiaohong's eloquence is getting better and better, and Xia Liang admires her very much.
"you?"
"Okay, stop talking. It's getting late. Let's go. Anyone who dawdles will have their work points deducted for today."
Yang Laowu glanced at the women. These women were troublesome. They were simply too nagging.
Especially this Li Xue, I don't know what she thinks. She just needs to do whatever the village arranges for her to do. Where does she get such a big opinion? If she has the guts, she can go and talk to the village chief.
Oh, by the way, he heard a few days ago that Li Xue went to see the village chief and wanted to take over Xia Liang's job, but unfortunately the soldier was not happy about it.
Yang Laowu was the team leader, and since he had spoken, Li Xue did not dare to refute him.
Work points were related to her future food supply. She didn't earn much to begin with, and if some more was deducted, it would be even less.
She didn't want to share only half of the food like Xia Jing. It was strange, after Xia Liang left, Xia Jing was so hungry that she felt like she was going to faint.
Recently, her food intake has been reduced by half, but her complexion has improved a lot. Could she be eating secretly?
It's impossible to think about it. The educated youth had little food, and Xu Jun had a cabinet specifically for storing food, which was usually locked.
There is only one key, and it is in his hand, so no one can steal food out.
Where did Xia Jing find the food? Li Xue looked at Xia Jing and couldn't figure it out, so she walked over:
"Xia Jing, aren't you hungry recently?" Li Xue asked tentatively in a low voice.
