Li cried even louder, sobbing and wailing about her difficulties, trying to arouse Shen Qiqi's sympathy.
But Shen Qiqi's heart was calm. She was not some saintly white lotus. For such a person, she would only give her four words: It's all your fault!
"Okay, stop crying. Tears can't solve the problem." Shen Qiqi interrupted her impatiently, "Now, I'll give you another chance. Tell me everything you know. Maybe I can consider giving you a lighter sentence."
Li nodded quickly, as if grasping a lifeline. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! That man... he... he's not some county official. He's... he's a relative of Wu, the grain station attendant!"
"A relative of Wu Liang Station Officer?!" Shen Qiqi's eyes lit up. "I was wondering, why would a county official come to our small village for no reason? Turns out it's a conspiracy!"
Li didn't dare to hide anything and confessed everything: "They... they colluded to withhold the village's food coupons, then resold them privately to make a profit..."
"So that's it!" Shen Qiqi suddenly realized, and all her doubts were solved. She felt like Detective Conan, and finally found the truth!
She rubbed her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling, "Li, you've done a great deed this time!"
Li was stunned. Before she could react, Shen Qiqi had already turned and ran towards the Lu family compound, leaving behind only a dashing figure and a meaningful remark: "Just wait and see!"
Shen Qiqi trotted back to the Lu family compound, like a whirlwind, startling everyone in the Lu family who were chatting in the yard.
"Qiqi, what's wrong with you? You are running so fast. Is there a wolf chasing you?" Old Mrs. Lu put down the needlework in her hands and asked with concern.
"Grandma, auntie, guess what? I found out about the food coupons!" Shen Qiqi announced excitedly, with a hint of boasting in her tone.
Everyone in the Lu family immediately became alert, their ears pricked up, waiting for Shen Qiqi's next words.
"The one who stole the food coupons turned out to be a relative of Wu, the grain station attendant. They worked together to withhold our village's food coupons and then resold them privately to make money!" As soon as Shen Qiqi said this, it was like dropping a bomb, leaving everyone in the Lu family stunned.
"What?! There's actually such a thing!" Old Mrs. Lu slapped her thigh in anger. "This Wu Liang Station attendant is such a traitor!"
My aunt also agreed: "That's right, I used to think he was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be such a person!"
Everyone in the Lu family condemned the shameless behavior of Wu Liang Station Officer and admired Shen Qiqi's wit and bravery.
Shen Qiqi listened to everyone's praise and felt very happy. She felt like a general who had won a battle, returning in triumph and accepting everyone's cheers and admiration.
“Qiqi, you are so amazing! If it weren’t for you, we would still be kept in the dark!” Old Mrs. Lu took Shen Qiqi’s hand, her face full of relief.
"That's right, Qiqi, you are really the lucky star of our Lu family!" The aunt also followed suit in praising.
Listening to these compliments, Shen Qiqi felt as sweet as eating honey.
She felt that her status in the Lu family had risen to a new level. Now, who would dare to call her a "money-loser"?
snort!
Although she knew the truth, the withheld food coupons had not been recovered yet. Shen Qiqi decided to press on and confront Wu Liang Station Officer to seek justice!
She clenched her fists, her eyes determined, like a soldier about to go to battle, full of fighting spirit.
"Grandma, auntie, you guys wait at home, I'll be back soon!" Shen Qiqi said, turned around and walked out, leaving everyone in the Lu family looking at each other in bewilderment.
When Shen Qiqi arrived at the grain station, she immediately saw Wu, the grain station attendant, who was leisurely drinking tea.
She took a deep breath, strode over, and stood in front of Wu Liang Station Officer with a menacing look, "Wu Liang Station Officer, did you embezzle our village's food coupons?!"
