Chapter 36 Chapter 36 (Update 2) "Second Uncle, Second Aunt,...
The so-called spending money actually means setting up some reward systems.
Jiang Shuangshuang didn't know the specific situation inside the slaughterhouse, but as far as she knew, this slaughterhouse supplied the needs of most of the city's population, which was enough to show that its scale was quite large.
Moreover, there are multiple shifts, and there are people there almost day and night.
The pig thieves did not "visit" the slaughterhouse once or twice, but committed thefts many times over a period of more than half a year. It is impossible for the workers in the slaughterhouse to be unaware of it, otherwise those pig thieves must be big thieves, and with such ability, they would not just target pork.
As long as enough money is spent and the rewards are richer, there will always be some people who can detect and grasp the clues.
This reward system can even be extended to everyone, whether they are slaughterhouse workers or residents outside, as long as they can provide clues, they will be given a certain reward.
In this way, we might even be able to create a detective activity for the whole nation, which would definitely attract a lot of people to participate.
Let’s not talk about what happened in the past. Just two days ago, two hundred kilograms of pork were stolen. The pork must be dealt with in a timely manner. There are only two possibilities.
The first is pickling to ensure that it does not spoil in a short period of time.
But since it needs to be marinated, it definitely needs seasonings and a place to marinate. The taste of marinating so many pounds of pork is attractive enough.
It won't be discovered unless it is in the wilderness.
Another way is to sell it, but if you want to sell it, you have to find a buyer. The figure of the pig thief will always appear in front of them briefly, so as long as you grasp the opportunity, you can catch him in time.
However, what she said has a premise, that is, everyone is investigating the case.
As long as there are enough people paying attention and want to use this clue to claim the reward, with some luck, the pig-stealing gang might actually be caught.
Of course, Jiang Shuangshuang is not an expert in solving cases. Although she told Zhou Guangfa and others all of this, whether they can carry it out and whether it is effective after execution has nothing to do with her.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Hu Dahai and others particularly agreed, "This is good, this is good. If there is really any reward, I will go back to the slaughterhouse and search it thoroughly."
Xia Tiezhu next to him had the same idea.
He even thought about telling his children at home when the time comes. Since they have nothing to do at home, they might as well take a walk around. What if they can find some clues?
Zhou Guangfa glared at them unhappily, "Are you not going to help without a reward?"
"Look at what you said. It's not like I didn't work hard just because I got paid." Hu Dahai didn't feel guilty at all.
He gets paid for his job. He is a pig killer, not an investigator. He must do his job well, but don't expect him to do extra work for free. He flicked his beard and said, "How dare you criticize me? If your security department hadn't failed to hold the place, would so much pork have been lost?"
"That's right! You get paid but don't work hard, and you still have the nerve to glare at us?" Xia Tiezhu also echoed his words, and the two of them started to get angry again.
Public security officer Xiao Fu quickly tried to smooth things over. "Alright, alright, we are all employees of the same factory, so don't ruin the relationship. Xiao Jiang's suggestion is indeed good. Go back and discuss and come up with a set of rules as soon as possible. If anyone gives up the 200 kilograms of pork, it will be even more difficult to arrest them."
Zhou Guangfa thought about it and felt the same way. He was too lazy to bother with the two butchers. He nodded to Jiang Shuangshuang and walked out.
As soon as the others left, Xiong Ping in the room breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really sorry for you today, otherwise we would have really fought."
As she spoke, she complained to Hu Dahai, "You are already 40 years old, why don't you care about the consequences? You just slashed people with a knife. If you really hurt someone, do you want to be thrown into jail?"
Hu Dahai looked unhappy after hearing what he said, "You are just too angry..."
"Next time you get angry, think about your precious son. Don't you want to see him get married and have children with your own eyes?" It was obvious that Xiong Ping knew Hu Dahai, and their relationship was not shallow. In fact, the two were somewhat related.
Hu Dahai didn't say anything, but from his expression it was clear that he was thinking about it.
He looked around and made sure there were no outsiders. Then he whispered, "That bastard Zhou Guangfa wants to search my house. Can I let him go?"
After thinking about the situation of the Hu family, Xiong Ping didn't know what to say. She just warned them a few times: "If it happened the first time, there will be a second time. You should think of a solution as soon as possible."
"I know." Hu Dahai nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a head sticking out of the window outside. He immediately laughed: "Why are you sneaking around? Come in if you want!"
The person who came in was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was a little plump but had a natural smile. He looked particularly festive at first glance.
Jiang Shuangshuang glanced at him twice.
Not for anything else, just because of his cold white skin, I thought that if he walked on the street he would definitely attract a lot of attention.
No one is as white as him, and few people eat as much as he does to become slightly fat. It is obvious that he has no shortage of meat.
Come to think of it, listening to Xiong Ping and Hu Dahai fooling around, she could probably guess something. Xiong Ping didn't allow anyone to search his house, so there must be some things hidden in the house that cannot be shown to others.
It’s okay now. At most I’ll take a look at it after searching it out.
If something shameful were to be revealed in a few years, the whole family would suffer.
This reminded her to sort out the things at home when she got home.
"That..."
Jiang Shuangshuang came back to his senses and looked at the young man in front of him, "What's the matter?"
Hu Yao put his hands behind his back and kept tickling his fingers nervously, "Thank you, thank you for what I did just now."
Jiang Shuangshuang just nodded in response and had no intention of talking further.
It’s really easy to guess what young people are thinking, especially this one. Her skin is really fair, so fair that if she has any little thoughts, her skin will look particularly rosy.
She turned her head and called out, "Sister Xiong, shall we go back now?"
"Hey, hey, hey." Xiong Ping nodded, glanced at Hu Yao, who was blushing, and said, "Let's go, let's go. We all live in the same area, so we'll have to interact with each other someday."
Things were handled faster than I expected. Compared to my anxious rush there, the way back was much slower.
On the way, Xiong Ping first expressed her gratitude and gave him affirmation, "You are born to do this job. Look at those people, they were beaten by you... They were persuaded by you and dared not say a word."
Jiang Shuangshuang said modestly, "Thank you very much."
Xiong Ping then exaggerates a few more times, and then casually mentions, "The old Hu just mentioned is actually a distant relative of mine. If we go back a hundred years, our family would still have to rely on them."
She pointed, "That piece and that piece were once the residences of the Hu family. The land with the slaughterhouse and the motor factory was also his family's estate. I heard that the Hu family's ancestors would drive a horse-drawn carriage from morning to night to collect rent. They were the richest landlords here."
She didn't intentionally reveal the Hu family's background, but almost everyone in their area knew about it, and even many elderly people used to work as servants in the Hu family.
In addition, she had some thoughts in mind, so she spoke in more detail, "But his family is not a landlord. When Old Hu was only ten years old, the old man of the Hu family sold most of his belongings to help the country and opened the family granary to help the people. When Old Hu was in his twenties, he donated several pieces of land to build a factory. At that time, the governor even received him specially and asked him to ask for anything..."
At this point, Xiong Ping raised a finger and said, "Grandpa Hu actually made a request. He said he wanted to send Old Hu to learn a skill, and he happened to be interested in the job of slaughtering pigs. Now, Old Hu has been working in the slaughterhouse for more than ten years. Not only has he mastered the skill of slaughtering pigs, he has also brought his son out..."
Xiong Ping didn't stop talking once she started, and all she continued was praising the abilities of Lao Hu and his son.
Jiang Shuangshuang did not interrupt her compliment.
Just a little absent-minded.
She finally understood why Hu Dahai didn't dare to let the security department search the room. His ancestors were so wealthy that even if they donated all their wealth, they must have kept a lot of things in private.
"His family has two daughters who married well. One married his apprentice, who is also a pig killer in a slaughterhouse. He has mastered the skill. If there are pig killers in the surrounding brigades, they are willing to ask them for help and they can even charge them for their errands. The other daughter married into an electric machinery factory, and she..." Xiong Ping fell silent while talking. She looked at the alley ahead of her in surprise, and she felt that she saw an acquaintance.
Jiang Shuangshuang saw her stop and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiong Ping shook her head. "I just saw Hu Can, the second daughter of Lao Hu. She must have come here because she heard someone quarrelling here, right?"
Although she said so, she still had doubts in her heart.
Because just now, besides Hu Can, she also saw a strange man next to Hu Can.
The two of them didn't do anything intimate, but she felt something was wrong no matter how she looked at it.
Xiong Ping shook her head and decided not to delve into the matter any further. Even if they were distant relatives, she couldn't get involved too much. She continued with the previous topic and asked, "Xiao Jiang, how old are you this year? Do you have a date?"
Jiang Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's over."
"If you don't have a date, I can introduce you to someone... someone?" Xiong Ping looked at her in surprise. "Didn't your mother come to ask Director Wang about it last week?"
She knew that, so she had this idea.
Especially the expression of Old Hu's son just now, it was obvious that he was fascinated.
Yes, if she were a young gay man, she would also be shocked by Xiao Jiang's move and it would be hard for her not to be tempted.
I was originally thinking about whether I should bring them together, but who knew that Xiao Jiang already had a date.
"It happened a while ago." Jiang Shuangshuang revealed a hint of shyness. "I've met her a few times, and we get along pretty well."
Xiong Ping looked regretful.
Comrade Xiao Jiang is really good. He is good-looking, has a good job and does his job so well. No wonder Xiao Duan went to the scene with him and came back with stars in his eyes looking at Xiao Jiang.
Hu Yao is a good kid too.
He is really spoiled at home, but his temper has not been spoiled. This boy, who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, is better at killing pigs than the old master. I heard that he will be asked to go out and give some guidance next year.
Not to mention the family fortune left by their ancestors, their family can make money just by slaughtering pigs. Look at how well they raise the pigs.
It would be great if these two could get together. She wanted to try. "Who is the other person and what does he do?"
Jiang Shuangshuang thought about it and gave an answer, "A young man serving in the army."
The young man was a little stubborn. Although he was young, Comrade Cheng had a strong and handsome face and he really didn't look like a young man. She said, "I'll bring him to meet you when I have the chance."
This is the end of this topic.
No matter how regretful Xiong Ping was, she could only sigh. Just then, they arrived at the street office. Director Wang was waiting at the door. She looked at Xiao Jiang with a strange look on her face and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Okay!" Xiong Ping was in the mood to chat, so she pulled the person aside and started talking. Not only did she talk, she also gestured with her hands. She became more and more excited, and the people who listened to her exclaimed in amazement.
Fortunately, it was time to get off work, and Jiang Shuangshuang was finally able to pack up and leave. Otherwise, every time Xiong Ping finished speaking, everyone in the office would look at her, which would be awkward.
When it was time to get off work, I waved goodbye to them.
It takes Jiang Shuangshuang less than ten minutes to walk home. She really loves this commuting distance!
"Sister!" Jiang Xiaozhou came out of the kitchen and waved excitedly, "Come here quickly."
Jiang Shuangshuang walked over to take a look, and couldn't stop laughing as soon as she saw it.
The stove room of their house is located at a corner, right at the corner of the right side room and the corridor. It was built with red bricks that Xu's mother spent two years saving for. Because of the perspective, you can't see what's inside unless you walk over. Jiang Shuangshuang stood at the door and raised his head slightly, and saw several wild boars hanging above.
"Grandpa Zhou set it up this afternoon. I also took the wild boar to the small kitchen and asked Grandpa Cao to help me marinate it for two hours." Jiang Xiaozhou had been in the kitchen for an hour or two, standing guard at the door and was reluctant to leave. "He said that we should smoke it with charcoal for one or two hours every day. It will be enough for a month. If you want to keep it longer, smoke it for half a month."
Jiang Shuangshuang patted his shoulders and gave him an important task, "Such an important task is entrusted to you. I will reward you with two more pieces in the future."
Jiang Xiaozhou straightened his chest and raised his head, "I promise to complete the task!"
The process of smoking meat is actually not that good.
The whole room was burning with fire. Every time he came in, he would sweat all over and his face would turn red from the smoke. But no matter how uncomfortable he felt, as long as he looked up at the pork strips hanging above his head, he would feel extremely happy!
While the two siblings were talking, Xu Yingxia walked home angrily. When she saw Shuangshuang, she gritted her teeth and said, "Why didn't you bring me a message this morning? I want to know what that stinky girl Jiang Nannan did. I have to scold her a few times to vent my anger!"
Jiang Shuangshuang was stunned.
Today was really colorful, with so many things happening one after another. Looking back, the Jiang family incident had only happened half a day ago. If Mother Xu hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost remembered the wrong date.
Seeing that Xu's mother was angry, she suggested: "Why don't you go to the old house and scold her now? She should be staying at home."
"..." Xu Yingxia was choked. In fact, she just wanted to curse behind her back. In the afternoon, her fourth brother's wife came to the factory to complain to her and told her everything that happened in the morning.
After hearing this, besides being angry, I was also more terrified.
Who could have imagined that the girl she had been sympathizing with a few days ago actually had so many ideas. If her fourth brother's wife had not assured her that she was not lying, she would not have dared to believe it.
But because she believed it, she really didn't dare to scold him in person, "Your fourth aunt is now afraid that Jiang Nannan will take revenge, how dare I touch her head at this time, what if she hates me as well?"
Although she was angry, she was really afraid of getting into trouble with someone who was plotting something shady.
Forget about her, she still has a brother and sister named Shuangshuang at home. The thought of a pair of eyes secretly watching them makes her feel a little creepy. And although she is angry that Jiang Nannan snatched her away, she really doesn't like someone like Cheng Jin as a son-in-law. There is no need to get into trouble for someone she despises.
But Jiang Sisao and her companions were really scared.
Jiang Nannan didn't come back for several hours after she ran away. They were terrified at home and discussed for a long time but couldn't think of a solution, so they split up to look for help.
Mrs. Jiang Si went to Xu Yingxia and asked her to mediate.
The eldest and the old man Jiang went to the hospital, hoping that the second and third brothers would persuade their daughter not to make trouble for herself.
But they didn't believe it at all. In their opinion, Jiang Nannan was such an easy-to-use lady.
I have raised her for so many years and she has almost never been disobedient. Even when I beat and scolded her, she never resisted. How could she become so powerful all of a sudden?
"Tsk, they must be exaggerating." Jiang Lao Er didn't believe it at all. He even sneered, "Look at how scared the eldest brother is. He was scared by his own niece. It's really embarrassing."
Mrs. Jiang was more thoughtful. She took advantage of the fact that no one was in the ward and whispered, "You said they are afraid that Jiang Nannan will expose those bad things. If we threaten them, will they..."
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Laoer really didn't want to bother with this stupid woman. "If you want to threaten them, they will tell others about your son's gambling. I said, you have the time to think of bad ideas. Why don't you think about how to persuade Xiaopeng not to gamble?"
"Hey, as a father, why don't you know how to persuade him?"
"You gave birth to the child, so of course you should give advice."
"Can I give birth to a child alone?"
The two started arguing as they talked. When Jiang Laoer was about to raise his hand to scare her, Jiang Xiaoguo from Lao Si's family ran in and said, "Uncle, aunt, Brother Xiaopeng has been arrested!"
