Chapter 12 The Informer



Zhao Ning has been thinking about this since the joint defense team left. How did they know about this? And how did they find his home so accurately?

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Ning still couldn't figure it out, so he simply brought it up to discuss with Lin Minjun.

Lin Minjun also got on the kang, with her feet against the head. She felt warm all over. She relaxed and guessed, "Could it be that your neighbors nearby told them?" After all, only neighbors would know so clearly.

"That doesn't make sense." Zhao Ning denied it without hesitation, shaking his head and saying, "You live in our house, not in the homes of our neighbors. You have nothing to do with them, and it would be bad for you to do them harm. Besides, these neighbors have lived with us for decades, and we see them every day. They have watched me grow up, so they wouldn't do such a wicked thing."

That's true. Lin Minjun lives here and has nothing to do with the neighbors. She's not next to anyone. There's no reason for them to pick on a little girl without any connection.

But what Zhao Ning said was also true. It is not written on the other person’s face that he is unemployed. Apart from his neighbors, who else would know?

Lin Minjun thought about this matter aimlessly.

She suddenly remembered something. It is said that there is always a word mentioned in the news throughout her life, the Chaoyang crowd. These people have sharp eyes and can accurately find bad elements and criminals in the crowd and actively report them to the police.

What Lin Minjun thought of was not the people of Chaoyang, but reporting.

Although her feet were clearly warmed by the kang, a chilling thought suddenly came to Lin Minjun's mind.

"Do you think I was reported by someone?" She turned over and asked Zhao Ning on a whim.

"How is that possible? How could someone be so bad?" Zhao Ning's first reaction was that it was impossible.

But after a moment of thinking, she realized that if no one had reported it, how could the joint defense team have arrived so quickly and known Lin Minjun's information so accurately?

After a moment of silence, Zhao Ning asked, "Who do you think it is?"

The two girls lay on the kang, leaning against each other. You looked at me, I looked at you, and in fact, we both had the answer in our hearts.

Lin Minjun stared at the spider webs hanging from the beams and said calmly, "Apart from the neighbors around here, only the educated youth who came back with us from Yunnan know about my situation."

"It's basically impossible for the neighbors to do that. They've known each other for decades and have no grudges against each other. They have no reason to harm you. Besides, you're always out, so they don't know your situation."

Then there can only be the educated youth who came back together.

There were a total of more than ten people who returned, and six or seven of them got along well with each other. They all depended on each other in the Yunnan Farm, and everyone regarded each other as comrades who could rely on each other.

They had received Lin Minjun's kindness and helped her get on the train. They also agreed to keep in touch even after arriving in the capital and to remain friends for life.

But now Lin Minjun discovered that someone here was secretly targeting her and wanted to make her life difficult.

Zhao Ning also thought of this and cursed angrily, "When we were on the farm, we all shared the steamed buns. How come when we got home, some people's hearts changed and became so mean! Not only did they not help you, but they also wanted to harm you."

She was furious and clenched her fists and cursed, "This person is such a bad person! I will call everyone together tomorrow to find out who did this. Don't associate with this kind of person in the future. He is so mean that you don't even know when he has cheated you."

Lin Minjun patted her hands and said, "Forget it. Don't look for anyone for now. Wait until I find a house and settle down. The most important thing now is the house."

"That's right. How about I help you look for it tomorrow?" Zhao Ning said, "If we split up, we can go faster."

Lin Minjun flatly refused, "No, I'll go out early tomorrow and just visit a few more places. You're waiting in line for work at the Youth Educated Office right now, and that's also an important matter. Don't be distracted by my affairs."

"You've just arrived in the capital and you're not familiar with the surroundings. How about I accompany you?" Zhao Ning was already sleepy and said in a daze.

Lin Minjun was also half asleep and half awake. "It doesn't matter. We'll get used to it if we walk around more. I don't want to marry Lu Deping, nor do I want to go back to Yunnan, so I have to take this route even if it's not possible."

There was a joint defense team waiting in front to persuade her to return to Yunnan.

Later, a friend who was working with her reported her.

In her previous life, because of confusion and weakness, she was pushed by fate and married Lu Deping.

But this time, Lin Minjun wants to leave on her own. She will find the house and find out who reported the crime. She will not be weak anymore.

Lin Minjun was lying on the bed in a daze. Not only was she not sad or disappointed, but she was even more motivated. What happened?

The first snow in the capital this year came exceptionally early. There was no snow the night before, but when I woke up the next day, the whole city was covered in silver. A thin layer of white snow covered the tiles, and when the sun shone on it, the snow dripped down.

It snowed and the temperature in the city dropped suddenly. When Lin Minjun left Zhao's house early in the morning to look for a house, she wrapped herself in a cotton jacket and walked out on the snow.

Zhao Ning's mother had already searched several nearby alleys, but there was no house available, so Lin Minjun moved to a few places further away.

I have been wandering around Dongcheng this morning, searching several alleys in a row but to no avail. Some people quickly waved their hands when asked to rent a house, "House? No, no, we don't even have enough space in our own house, how can we rent out a spare house? The children at home are almost hanging on the wall to sleep."

Someone else mentioned the house and took Lin Minjun directly to the large courtyard and opened the door to show her.

Lin Minjun took a closer look and saw a big kang in the house. The kang was filled with things, and the floor was also filled with things. There was not enough space to hold the things, so she quickly backed out.

I searched like this for the whole morning, from East City to West City, and there was no free time.

When they arrived at Xicheng, Lin Minjun was thinking that she might as well move to the house that Zhao's father had inquired about. No matter whether it was good or bad, it was still a place to live, so she could have a place to stay. It wouldn't be too late to find a place to move after she settled down.

When Lin Minjun was thinking about this, she saw a large truck parked in front of a cooperative on the roadside. Behind it were many middle-aged women pushing carts and carrying various large bags. They looked very motivated and ready to do something big.

She suddenly laughed. This must be about grabbing the autumn vegetables. In the past, when this time came, she would come to grab the cabbage and buy hundreds of kilograms. She relied on it for vegetables for the whole winter.

Sure enough, as soon as the truck door was opened, the aunts rushed in with bags in their hands.

"Come on, come on, give it to me first. I want 100 kilograms of cabbage." An old lady rushed forward and said.

The people next to her immediately called out, "Auntie, look at how many kilograms there are in total. You buy it, but others don't. There's not that much. Buy less today."

"Then give me 60 kilograms first." The aunt had no choice but to say.

It was so noisy and exciting to scramble for the autumn vegetables, with people pushing each other and everyone's bags filled to the brim.

It had just snowed and the roads were extremely slippery. The old ladies had difficulty carrying the autumn vegetables they bought back home. They dared not walk faster for fear of accidentally falling.

Even though we were so careful, someone still fell.

One of them was an auntie in her fifties who was walking carefully with a big bag of autumn vegetables in her hand. Suddenly, she was bumped by someone next to her and fell to the ground.

The auntie seemed to have broken her coccyx and frowned in pain. She endured the pain and put the cabbages back into the bag, then began to struggle to get up. After trying several times, she just lay on the ground unable to move.

She began to ask for help from people around her, "Hey, can anyone give me a hand? I fell and can't get up."

The people passing by here are all old men and women, each of them walking as if on stilts. They can hardly take care of themselves, so how can they hear what others are saying?

The aunt just sat on the ground, gritting her teeth in pain.

Lin Minjun turned her head and saw this scene. Without hesitation, she stepped forward.

The author has something to say:

In case some readers don't know, *壹 means weight.

Youbao said it was too little. Woohoo, it was very difficult for me to write it because there were too few words and I couldn't stop. I'll just wait until it's on the list on Thursday and I'll go back to 3,000 words per chapter.
