The team leader and his men quickly ran towards the sound. Several aunties standing by the river stared at the people in the river with wide eyes and shouted, "It's the new female educated youth."
The one who jumped into the river was Zhang Qingwan. When the aunties and grandmas who were waiting for the water rescued her, she had already drunk a belly full of water. The wife of the village chief and the wife of the team leader squatted down and touched her belly, which was round and hard.
Meng Zhiyu and the others also rushed over at this time. Seeing Zhang Qingwan, who was soaking wet and with her eyes closed, their hearts skipped a beat. They asked hurriedly, "Auntie, how is he?"
"He's still breathing. He should be fine. He just drank too much water." The village chief's wife comforted the people who were running breathlessly and with anxious faces.
Li Qingqing patted her chest with her hands, her face pale, not knowing whether it was from running or being scared, "I'm fine, I'm fine, wuwuwu~"
As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red and she sobbed.
Meng Zhiyu pressed his heart, which was beating very violently, and squatted down unsteadily, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Host, your body is not suitable for strenuous exercise at the moment. You ran too fast and your mind was too tense, so your body is overloaded." Wangcai scanned Meng Zhiyu's body, pulled out the report and said with some concern.
Li Tingman looked at her extremely ugly face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Meng Zhiyu followed Wangcai's guidance, adjusted his breathing, and took a few breaths before feeling better.
Over there, Zhang Qingwan had already woken up. The team leader, the village chief and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was still alive. Otherwise, if this educated youth had gotten into trouble right after arriving, let alone being rated as an advanced team, it would be good if they didn't get criticized by the county.
The captain's wife took Zhang Qingwan's hand and said, "Kid, if you have something to say, why don't you just talk to him/her nicely? Why did you jump into the river? If no one can save you, you'll be dead."
Zhang Qingwan leaned weakly on the village head's wife, feeling scared. He only remembered that he felt wronged and angry at the time, and in a fit of rage, he ran to the river and jumped in.
"They all wronged me, saying that I stole their snacks. It wasn't me who stole them at all." Zhang Qingwan pointed at Zhao Shuanglian and Song Yun and accused them with tears in her eyes.
After the captain and several others gently comforted and asked questions, they finally found out what had happened.
It turned out that after Jiang Zengzhi ran out to call for help, several of the educated youth were standing in the yard. No matter how Zhao Shuanglian and Song Yun asked or what they said, Meng Zhiyu and the others refused to admit that they had cheated.
However, Zhao Shuanglian and the others just couldn't believe it. If they had blamed the thief on someone else yesterday, it would have been understandable. But this time, after just one night, the thief must be among the new female educated youth.
One side was accusing the other, but no one admitted it. The two sides reached a stalemate. At this moment, He Zhida spoke up, "Li Tingman, an educated youth, could afford a bicycle, so it couldn't be her. Meng, an educated youth, could afford malted milk and still be in such poor health, so it couldn't be her either. As for Li Qingqing..."
He stretched out the words and looked thoughtful. Meng Zhiyu took a look and thought that he was just pretending.
When Li Qingqing heard this, she panicked and shouted to He Zhida, "What's wrong with me? Tell me, why are you playing such a long note?"
He Zhida gave her a dissatisfied look and said, "Why are you so anxious? I am just trying to figure it out. Only after I have analyzed it clearly can I clear your suspicion."
Meng Zhiyu pressed down the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up. Still pondering? Did he think he was writing poetry?
"I don't need you to clear my name. I didn't steal, and you didn't exist. You can't put the blame on me." Li Qingqing didn't appreciate it and said to him bluntly.
Song Yun crossed his arms and sullenly accused her, "Li Qingqing, He Zhiqing was kind-hearted, why are you so ungrateful?"
Song Yun was already suspicious of her, so it was difficult for him to be nice to her.
Zhao Shuanglian said from the side, "Qingqing might be worried, so she's a little absent-minded. She definitely didn't mean it. Brother He, don't be angry. I'll apologize on Qingqing's behalf."
Li Qingqing was so angry when she saw Zhao Shuanglian, who looked like she was saying, "I'm doing this for your own good."
"Hmph, I'm a magnanimous man, so I won't bother with her. After my detailed analysis, the only suspect is Zhang Qingwan, and she is the poorest one." He Zhida leaned back, smoothed his hair, leaned against the wall, and pointed at Zhang Qingwan.
Zhang Qingwan shuddered all over, his face changed drastically, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not me, it's not me, I didn't steal it."
"You are the poorest, if not you, then who else could it be?" Song Yun followed He Zhida's words and asked her back.
She didn't care much about who stole it, as long as she was compensated for her losses.
Zhao Shuanglian was just the opposite of her. She also felt that Zhang Qingwan was the most suspicious because she was not only poor, but also liked to take advantage of others.
"Qing Wan, if you want to eat, just tell us. We can't deny you food. Why do you have to get up in the middle of the night to eat secretly? If this gets out, your reputation will be bad!"
Zhao Shuanglian sighed, her tone full of disappointment and sadness.
Zhang Qingwan was completely dumbfounded. No matter what she said, no one believed her.
Meng Zhiyu didn't know who stole it, or whether it was just the thief crying "Catch the thief" as she had guessed before. "Since we can't find the thief, why not call the police?"
"No." Except for Li Tingman and Li Qingqing, everyone disagreed.
Zhao Shuanglian met Meng Zhiyu's gaze and said, "Zhiyu, this is just a matter between us educated youth. If we call the police and make a big fuss, it will be bad for our entire team. Besides, we are all sisters. How can we send Qingwan to jail just for a few snacks?"
Li Qingqing looked at Zhang Qingwan, who was standing beside him with a worried look on his face, and asked suspiciously, "Zhang Qingwan, if you didn't steal it, why didn't you let the police call?"
