Luo Tian frowned and asked her, "Are you still going to sell these things?"
Luo Qiao nodded. "Otherwise, there won't be enough money. I don't want to live a hard life."
"Can……"
"Oh, it's okay, no one knows I'm doing this."
"As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know."
Luo Tian: “…”
What else can she say?
She could only pray to God that nothing would happen to Luo Qiao, otherwise she would be the one reporting him.
On the day Luo Qiao came back, Wen Tang asked Chi Yue to help make a lot of sweet cakes, and fried some small dough sticks and tofu balls. That afternoon, he took these things and went to the commune.
She limped to the commune to find Director Wang.
Director Wang was very surprised when he saw her limping over. "What's wrong? What's going on?"
Before Wen Tang could speak, his eyes turned red.
But she tried hard to hold back her tears, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled and said to Director Wang, "Director, I'm fine."
Director Wang didn't believe it and offered her a hand to sit down first. Then he said, "How can you be alright? Look at you, you're limping when you walk."
"Tell me quickly, what happened?"
Wen Tang didn't tell her what happened first, but put a full basket of fried cakes, fried dough sticks, and tofu balls that Chi Yue had fried on Director Wang's desk.
He lifted the cloth covering it, revealing the contents underneath, and smiled as he showed them to Director Wang. "I fried them at home, and they taste pretty good. I thought I'd send them to you to try."
In this era of oil and food shortages, the sight of freshly fried food is enough to make one drool.
What’s more, it was just out of the pot not long ago, still steaming and fragrant.
Even a director couldn't help swallowing when watching it.
Wen Tang quickly asked Director Wang to taste the cake. "Director, please try this cake. My family fries it. It's so soft and sweet."
Director Wang looked at the basket full of steaming cakes and took a piece. He took a bite and found it was not only greasy but also sweet. "Mmm, delicious! This cake is really delicious."
Wen Tang placed the basket in front of Director Wang again and said, "I didn't fry many this time. I just brought them here for you to taste."
"If the director likes it, I'll ask my family to fry more next time."
Director Wang looked at the basket that was pushed in front of him, and after thinking about it, he decided not to refuse it.
But the topic turned to Wen Tang's limping leg, "What's wrong with your leg?"
"You seemed fine a few days ago."
Wen Tang pulled up his pants and said as he did so, "It's my bad luck. I saw an educated youth reselling things. She must have been afraid that I would report her, so she went and falsely accused me first."
As she finished speaking, the bruise on her knee just showed.
It's been several days, but the bruises on the knees are still scary, which shows how serious the injury was.
Director Wang stuffed the last bit of the cake into his mouth, wiped his hands, and reached out to touch the bruise. Seeing Wen Tang frowning and enduring the pain, he also frowned, "Why is it so serious?"
Wen Tang forced a smile and said, "I'm feeling much better now. The people above me thought I was really speculating and profiteering, so they were a bit harsh on me."
Director Wang frowned and said, "These people..."
"Where's that educated youth?"
"I falsely accused you, is that okay?"
Wen Tang put down his pants and shook his head. "No, he was taken away, but he seems to have come back today."
"How many days? Just coming out?" Director Wang stood up and poured water for Wen Tang.
"Five days, it seems!"
"Didn't you tell those people that the educated youth was reselling and speculating?"
Wen Tang took the water, her big, watery eyes wide open, a look of innocence (clear stupidity) on her face. She shook her head and said, "I don't have any concrete evidence, I'm afraid they won't believe me."
"Haven't you seen it?"
"Yes, I saw her for real. She was selling things to people in the county town."
Director Wang said, "That's it."
"Just go and tell them, and then let them recognize you. Their people will keep an eye on you."
"Really?" Wen Tang still looked stupid.
Director Wang thought about it and said, "Forget it. I'll say hello to the people over there later."
"By the way, what's her name?"
"Luo Qiao, the educated youth who was sent down to our area."
"They caught me a few days ago, so they should remember me."
"Okay, I'll make a note of that."
"Thank you, Director. You are always kind to me."
Director Wang laughed and said, "I can't eat all your food for free!"
As expected, those in officialdom are all shrewd people.
People saw through her plan at a glance.
However, he was still willing to help her even after seeing through her situation, which showed that she was still somewhat likable, or in other words, she still had some value to her.
Wen Tang never rejects others' appreciation of her interests and values. After all, what people value when interacting with each other is the value of interests.
The value of money is that it can give each other emotions, which is also a kind of exchange of interests.
After hearing what Director Wang said, Wen Tang went home in a good mood.
As soon as she walked out of the commune gate, her leg healed automatically. She no longer limped or limped.
Luo Qiao still doesn’t know what Wen Tang did in private. She only knows that she was badly hurt by Wen Tang, and she must work hard to become stronger so that she can take revenge.
She had just been released and was unwilling to work, claiming to be sick and unwilling to go to the fields. Xu Zhongguo didn't even ask a question and pretended that she didn't exist.
Unable to work in the fields, Luo Qiao took a day off, but still had the strength to run to the county town.
Luo Tian still felt uneasy, so she couldn't help but persuade her, "Qiao Qiao, why don't you wait for a while before talking about it."
Luo Tian always felt that it was too risky for Luo Qiao to go to the county town at this time.
