Chapter 65 The Evil Ones Complain First



Huang Xiaocao made up her mind that she would make Yunbei speechless.

Yunbei had no idea that Huang Xiaocao was trying to confuse right and wrong. At this moment, she was preparing herbal medicine for Old Lady Zhang.

Yunbei took some of the other herbs except ginseng, and then prepared several portions for her, asking her to boil them and drink them every day.

Old Lady Zhang looked at the herbs Yunbei brought over and said with a smile, "Oh, I know all these herbs, but I didn't know what they were used for. Now I know, I can pick them myself next time."

"Auntie, you can collect herbs, but don't use them carelessly. You can pick these, dry them, and then sell them to the purchasing station. The purchasing station buys some herbs every year, and you can sell them for money when the time comes."

"Really? I haven't heard of that. But since you mentioned it, I'll go ask about it some other day. If they really accept it, then I'll have found a way to make money."

"Well, you can go ask them first to see what they mainly collect, and then you can go up the mountain to collect it. However, the mountain roads are difficult to walk on, and you are not young anymore, so you still have to be careful when going up the mountain to collect herbs."

"Don't worry, I'm very nimble. By the way, I heard Huang Xiaocao fell off the mountain. Is that true? She's so careless! It wasn't her first time climbing a mountain, how could she fall? Now that she's injured and Captain Guo isn't around, what's going to happen to the children at home?"

Yunbei's eyes flickered, and he didn't continue the conversation. Huang Xiaocao wasn't a good person; she knew it. Perhaps even her husband didn't realize how evil and cruel she was.

After saying a few words to Old Mrs. Zhang, Yunbei went back.

She had already put the ginseng she had dug earlier into the space. This thing was valuable, and she didn't want to leave it outside and let others see it and get jealous.

Therefore, after returning home, she went to see Si Nanzhao first. Seeing that nothing was wrong with him, she went straight back to her room.

Then she closed the door of the room and entered the space directly.

Yunbei was not short of money, so she did not rush to brew ginseng, but planted it directly in the herb garden. Of course, there were more than just this one ginseng in her herb garden, and they were all of good age.

There was nothing going on outside, so Yunbei was in no hurry to leave the space. Instead, she stayed inside and worked hard. She had already found time to harvest the rice last time.

Now, the room was filled with rice waiting to be husked. Thinking that he hadn't eaten the rice in the space for a long time, Yunbei decided to get some rice out.

There were tools for milling rice in the space, but they hadn't been used for a while. Yunbei had no choice but to clean them up before putting the rice in to mill.

Looking at the white rice and smelling its fragrance, Yunbei couldn't wait to cook it and taste it.

After grinding 100 kilograms of rice, Yunbei immediately went to the kitchen to cook a pot of fragrant rice.

As for food, there was dried bacon in the space, as well as some vegetables he had grown himself. Yunbei simply picked a handful of beans and cut a piece of bacon to stir-fry.

Yunbei was very satisfied with the rice and bacon.

After dinner, Yunbei rested for a while before continuing to work.

When the time was almost up, she went out to make dinner for Si Nanzhao.

But what she didn't know was that Huang Xiaocao kept clamoring to see the leader. Dean Yang had no choice but to call the army.

When the regiment political commissar Fang Zhenjiang received the call, he thought something was wrong with Huang Xiaocao, and thinking that Guo Xiangyuan was out on a mission, he went to the hospital in person.

After seeing Fang Zhenjiang, Huang Xiaocao looked as if she had been wronged and said to him, "Political Commissar Fang, you have to make the decision for me."

"Comrade Huang, you are a family member of our Third Regiment. If you have any questions, please tell us. If you have any difficulties, we will find a way to solve them for you."

"Political Commissar Fang, my injury this time was not an accident. It was the family of the battalion commander who pushed me down the mountain. So, please help me seek justice. I don't want to be injured in such an unclear way, and I don't want a murderer like her to go unpunished. Also, it's too dangerous for someone like her to stay in the family compound. I was injured this time, but I don't know who will be injured next time, so if possible, it's best to kick her out of the family compound."

Huang Xiaocao had a good plan. She wanted to use her own injury to put the blame on Yunbei and also took the opportunity to drive her out of the family compound.

In this way, she can not only get compensation, but also complete the task assigned to her by Chu Feifei.

She felt it was worthwhile to be able to earn two sums of money at once, even though she was injured.

After hearing this, Political Commissar Fang's expression immediately became serious. He said, "Comrade Huang, are you telling the truth?"

"Political Commissar Fang, I dare not lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out." Huang Xiaocao acted as if what I said was true, but Fang Zhenjiang frowned.

If this is true, it is extremely bad.

However, he couldn't just listen to Huang Xiaocao, so he looked at her and asked, "Comrade Huang, when did you meet the family of Battalion Commander Si? Have you ever had any conflicts with them before?"

No matter what you do, there must be a motive. Moreover, deliberately pushing someone down the mountain is no different from murder.

Unless there was a grudge between the two, the family of the battalion commander would not have done such a cruel thing. After all, if such a thing was discovered, they would go to jail.

Huang Xiaocao felt a little guilty when she heard Fang Zhenjiang's question. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at him. She and Yunbei had no conflicts, and they had just met at noon.

"What's wrong? Are you hiding something from me?" Fang Zhenjiang looked serious. He could clearly see the guilty look that flashed across Huang Xiaocao's face just now.

Her intuition told her that either her words were false or she was guilty.

However, he did not expose her, but decided to investigate the matter first.

Si Nanzhao was a famous figure in the army. He didn't even have a female mosquito around him, let alone family members. Therefore, he had to find out the truth of this matter first, and then investigate whether what Huang Xiaocao said was true or not.

"No, no!" Fang Zhenjiang's gaze was so oppressive that Huang Xiaocao didn't dare not answer. She said, "She and I only met when we went up the mountain at noon. As for the conflict, it might be because I accidentally pulled her and she almost fell, so she wanted to take revenge on me, right?"

Fang Zhenjiang looked at Huang Xiaocao for a moment, trying to detect any signs of deception on her face. However, she kept her head down, so he couldn't tell. He averted his gaze and said, "I'm aware of what you've reported. I'll investigate. If it's true, I'll give you an explanation. If there's any discrepancy, and you've slandered your comrades, you'll be punished."

After saying this, Fang Zhenjiang deliberately glanced at Huang Xiaocao, hoping to make her understand the seriousness of the matter.

However, Huang Xiaocao acted as if she was in pain, so Fang Zhenjiang didn't want to stay any longer and left early.
