After thinking about it, a few people decided to go to his house to ask about the situation.
So the three of them pushed open the door and walked into Chen Bin's house.
I saw that his house only had two mud houses and a shed next to it, which looked like the kitchen.
They came to the yard, and Zhou Bin asked softly, "Is anyone home?"
No one responded in the room. Zhou Bin continued to ask a few more times, and then a voice came from the room: "Who is it?"
Zhou Bin said loudly: "Auntie, we are Chen Bin's friends, and we have something to ask him."
The old lady said in the house: "Oh, Chen Bin went to Beiyuan Village to work, he is not at home."
As Zhou Bin was talking, he pushed open the door and went into the room. He saw an old woman leaning on the kang in the room.
The room was dark, cold and damp, making people shiver all over.
The old woman looked at Zhou Bin and the others, a little surprised: "Who are you? Didn't I tell you that Chen Bin is not at home?"
Zhou Bin took a look and found that there was nothing in the old man's room, but it was very clean. He thought that Chen Bin was quite filial.
He said, "Auntie, we are from the Beiyuan Village Tomato Cooperative. Your son..."
The old woman suddenly shuddered: "What happened to my son?"
Professor Chen said anxiously: "Your son stole our things and ran away!"
The old woman shuddered: "What did you say? He stole something and ran away? Impossible, my son never steals anything!"
As the old man spoke, his body began to tremble, and he looked very angry.
Zhou Bin didn't want to say it, but Professor Chen had already said it, so he had no choice.
So he comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry, we are just suspicious now, so we came to him."
The old lady immediately said: "My son would never steal anything, you must have made a mistake!"
Professor Chen was already anxious, and said excitedly: "You are still protecting him. He is a thief. He stole things and refused to admit it!"
The old woman was stunned for a long time after hearing what he said, and suddenly she started crying: "My life is so miserable! Baby's father, you died too early! You left us an orphan and a widow, to be bullied by others!"
His crying made several people unable to move.
Zhou Bin quickly explained: "Auntie, don't cry. We didn't say it must be him. We were just confused. He was doing his job well, and suddenly he disappeared. We don't know where he went."
"What does that have to do with you losing things?" the old woman asked angrily.
"After our things were lost, he also disappeared. Everyone else was there. What do you think..." Liu Qianmao didn't finish his words.
The old woman stopped crying and seemed to realize something was wrong.
But he still believed in his son: "My son is not that kind of person. His father was killed by a collapsed wall while trying to protect someone else's wall. Our family values our reputation more than our lives. My son would never do such a thing."
When a few people heard this, they realized that Chen Bin's father was killed by being crushed by a wall. No wonder their family was in such difficulty.
The old woman continued to explain, "You know, my son's father is a tough man. He taught his son from a young age to be tough and not to take advantage of others. He went to build a wall for someone, and it rained heavily. Everyone else ran away, but he ran to support the wall. Unexpectedly, the wall collapsed and crushed him to death. How could the son he raised be a thief!"
After hearing what he said, Zhou Bin and a few others couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Chen Bin's father was an upright man. Could it be that they had wronged him?
Zhou Bin quickly comforted the old lady, then left with a few people.
After all, there is no evidence in this matter now, and they cannot arbitrarily accuse anyone.
After leaving the house, Professor Chen said dejectedly: "It's over, everything is over!"
Zhou Bin and his friends had no idea what to do, so they had to leave first.
Three days passed and they still couldn't find any trace of Chen Bin, let alone the lost seedlings.
Professor Chen was completely desperate. This was his only seedling. It would be impossible for him to cultivate it for several more years.
Just when everyone was feeling depressed, someone came to report that he saw Chen Bin returning home.
When Professor Chen heard this, he was so excited that he immediately came to find Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin didn't say anything and pulled him straight to Chenjia Village.
They arrived at the door and went straight to Chen Bin's home.
As soon as I entered the door, Chen Bin was letting his old mother bask in the sun in the yard while he was chopping wood.
Suddenly seeing Zhou Bin and Professor Chen coming, Chen Bin was so scared that he turned around and wanted to run, but was grabbed by Zhou Bin.
Chen Bin's mother saw it and immediately shouted, "Why are you here again?"
Chen Bin looked frightened, lowered his head and dared not speak.
Professor Chen said angrily: "Great, Chen Bin! I finally found you! Tell me, did you steal our seedlings?"
Chen Bin's mother immediately said angrily: "You still want to frame my son. He told me that you look down on him and let him come back. What else do you want to do?"
Zhou Bin was stunned: "Huh? Chen Bin, did you really say that?"
Chen Bin was so scared that he kept silent. Zhou Bin said, "Auntie, we didn't chase him away. He ran away on his own. The seedlings we used for the experiment are also missing. Don't you think this is strange?"
Professor Chen said angrily: "Do you know how valuable that seedling is? Even 500,000 yuan can't buy it!"
Chen Bin was startled: "Five hundred thousand?" His face turned pale instantly.
"Yes, if someone steals something so valuable, he will be shot!" Professor Chen said loudly.
The old woman saw her son's panicked expression and realized something was wrong. She asked him sternly, "Son, tell me the truth. Did you steal someone else's seedlings?"
