When Zhao Fenglan saw the ten yuan on the ground, her eyes lit up and she hurried to pick it up.
Zhou Bin laughed: "This is what I just dropped out."
As he said this, he quickly picked up the money and held it in his hand.
Zhao Fenglan's excitement faded in an instant, and she said awkwardly, "Oh, I thought I dropped it."
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Aunt, tell me the truth, is it what you said that we dug up the dragon's back when we built the road, and that's why the people in your village got sick?"
When Zhao Fenglan heard this, she quickly denied it: "Who told you that? I never said that."
She knew that Zhou Bin was here to call her to task, so naturally she didn't dare to tell the truth.
Zhou Bin took a look, smiled slightly, took out four more big unity notes from his pocket, and said, "Aunt, just tell me. If you tell me, the money will be yours."
Zhao Fenglan's eyes widened as she stared at the money in Zhou Bin's hand, wishing she could snatch it away.
What she lacks most now is money. Her son is a good-for-nothing and has lost all the family's money. Now she doesn't even have money to buy oil and salt.
Seeing Zhao Fenglan's eager eyes, Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Aunt, just tell the truth, how about that?"
Zhao Fenglan hesitated for a long time, thinking about it, and finally said: "I, I really didn't say it. You should leave quickly, I still need to find my baby."
Zhou Bin took a look and thought that this old woman was quite amazing as she could actually endure it.
So he smiled and said, "Auntie, don't bother, your son must have gone to the card room again."
Zhao Fenglan lost her temper and said, "Oh! What should I do with this kid?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm telling you, even if you pull him back today, he'll have to go tomorrow."
Zhao Fenglan also knew that this must be the case, but what could she do?
Zhou Bin took the opportunity to say, "I have a way to deal with your son's situation. I can make him never gamble again."
Zhao Fenglan raised her head suddenly and asked, "What? Do you have a solution?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Of course, there was a guy from my village whom I pulled back from the casino."
Then he told Zhao Fenglan about how he accompanied Aniu to gamble for money. Zhao Fenglan was stunned.
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Aunt, let's see whether you will tell me or not. If you don't, I will leave and you can just wait to lose everything!"
As he was about to leave, Zhao Fenglan suddenly became anxious and grabbed his arm, saying, "Hey, young man, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhou Bin asked with a smile: "So are you going to tell me or not?"
Zhao Fenglan thought for a long time, gritted her teeth, and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Zhou Bin felt happy in his heart, this old woman was easy to deal with.
The two entered the house, Zhao Fenglan asked Zhou Bin to sit down and poured him a glass of water.
Then she said with a sad face: "Brother, don't blame me, it was Zhao Baoku who forced me to say this!"
"Oh? Why does he ask you to say that?" Zhou Bin asked.
Zhao Fenglan said in embarrassment, "It was about ten days ago. One day, Zhao Baoku suddenly showed up with several people behind him. He came up and threw a hundred yuan at me."
Zhou Bin thought to himself that it seemed that Zhao Baoku had already set his sights on the road construction.
Zhao Fenglan continued, "He gave me the money and told me to say this. He said my son owed him a lot of money, and if I didn't agree, he would throw my son into the ditch to feed the wolves."
Zhou Bin asked: "So you took the money? And then you lied with your eyes open?"
Zhao Fenglan's face flushed with embarrassment, and she kept apologizing: "I was foolish and greedy for their money!"
Zhou Bin said bluntly: "Auntie, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are old, how can you do such a thing? Isn't it for everyone to build the road? It will be more convenient for you to go out in the future!"
Zhao Fenglan nodded repeatedly: "I know, but how can I take back what I said? Besides, if I make it clear, Zhao Baoku will not forgive me!"
Zhou Bin saw that the old woman was just greedy for money, otherwise she would not do such a wicked thing.
He asked again: "Aunt, everyone in the village has a strange disease, is this true?"
Zhao Fenglan immediately said, "It's true, I don't know what happened."
Zhou Bin was a little puzzled. Why did so many people fall ill for no reason?
He suddenly remembered the poisoning scenes in TV dramas and wondered if everyone had eaten something unclean, which was why this happened.
So he asked, "Auntie, how do we usually get water in our village?"
The reason he asked this was because that's how it's shown on TV, that drinking water is most likely to be poisoned.
Zhao Fenglan was a little confused, not knowing why he asked this, but she still said, "As for water, some people dig cellars, some people draw water from the river, and some people go to the village to draw well water."
Zhou Bin asked, "What kind of water do you drink?"
Zhao Fenglan replied: "We are going to the river to fetch water."
Zhou Bin immediately asked: "Are you sick?"
Zhao Fenglan shook her head: "We are not sick, we are fine."
Zhou Bin already had some clues in his mind, and continued to ask: "Then think about it, what kind of water do those sick people drink?"
Zhao Fenglan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Old Lady Li, Old Man Zhao Er, Liu Haiqin, and Wang Mingliang, they all seem to be drinking from the well..."
Zhou Bin's mind moved. It must be the cellar water.
He immediately said to Zhao Fenglan, "Aunt, this is it. Take me with you and bring a basin. Tell them that I am from the county water company and I am here to test the water quality. Ask everyone to scoop some water for me."
As he said this, he stuffed ten yuan into Zhao Fenglan's pocket. Zhao Fenglan took a look and immediately took him to those people's homes.
In a short while, Zhou Bin collected a lot of cellar water.
He was very happy. He came back and found some bottles to fill with water, then prepared to leave.
Zhao Fenglan was so angry that she said, "Brother, didn't you say you would help me? You can't leave!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I have to go back and prepare the tools. I'll come when I'm ready!"
Zhao Fenglan saw that there was nothing she could do, so she had to let him go back first.
Zhou Bin took the water and did not dare to delay. He quickly drove his tricycle towards the county.
When he arrived at the county, Zhou Bin immediately asked Liu Xiaobing to introduce him to sending the water for inspection to see if there was any problem.
By the afternoon, the test results came out, but there were several policemen who came with him and surrounded Zhou Bin.
Liu Xiaobing was shocked and asked hurriedly, "What happened to you?"
An acquaintance who came with me said, "We have detected toxic and harmful substances in the water, so we have to come and get to know them clearly."
Zhou Bin was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, this is what happened."
He told the police about his visit to Zhaojia Village. A police officer was surprised and said, "There is such a thing? Isn't this a crime?"
Zhou Bin asked with a smile: "Do you care about things like this?"
The policeman glared and said, "Of course I will! If I don't care about this, what else can I care about?"
