Chapter 301 She killed someone, he handed her the knife.
"Hey! Why did you leave like that? We haven't even figured things out yet!" Cen Yan shouted. "Don't worry, Aunt Tian, whether you've left or not, I'll have Qi Jingchuan check the wall for bloodstains and clear your name!"
"!" Tian Ying, who was running home, stumbled and fell to her knees on the snow.
"Hahaha!" Aunt Tang and the others couldn't help but laugh, but after laughing, they calmed down. "Cen Yan, did Tian Ying really steal something, or was he just pretending? We need to get to the bottom of this."
Cen Yan wouldn't let anyone who tried to bully her get away with it. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Want to reach a conclusion? It's simple. Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and get a flashlight."
Before she could leave, Qi Jingchuan handed her what she wanted, his voice deep: "Wife, the flashlight, I've taken it out."
Cen Yan was stunned. Could this be considered her killing someone and him handing her a knife?
Thinking of this, Cen Yan found it amusing, and with a smile, she patted the man's waist. "Good for you." She then turned on her flashlight and shone it on the wall. "Look, everyone!"
The onlookers stared intently, their faces darkening; none of them were in a good mood.
Sure enough, there was a bloodstain on the wall that hadn't dried yet; it wasn't hard to guess that it was left by Tian Ying.
They were in a bad mood, not because of anything else, but because they lived under the same roof as Tian Ying.
It's important to know that high-ranking military officers like Cen Yan and Qi Jingchuan live in detached houses with their own bathrooms and kitchens.
But they were different. Although they lived in an apartment building, the toilet, bathroom, and kitchen were all shared. In other words, it would be incredibly easy for Tian Ying to access their belongings.
The thought that Tian Ying might steal their cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and even toilet paper made everyone feel uneasy.
Life is tough for everyone, and supplies are scarce. Even a single sheet of toilet paper has to be torn in two. Why should we help the Yu family take care of his mother's bottom?
Before Tian Ying arrived, there had never been any thieves in the family compound. Now, suddenly, a pickpocket has appeared, which makes people feel uneasy.
"Cen Yan, how do you plan to handle this matter? Are you just going to let it go like this?" Aunt Tang stepped forward and asked.
“Aunt Tang, I know what you mean, but what can we do if we can’t let it go? It’s just a bowl of pork cracklings. We can just throw it away. I just hope that with these broken pieces of glass on the wall, Aunt Tian won’t have any more evil thoughts and try to climb over my wall.”
Cen Yan looked like she had been bullied again.
"We can't really make a big fuss, can we? How are Platoon Leader Yu, his wife, and their four little kids supposed to live?"
"The loss may be small, but the matter is huge! This is theft, and they should have their hands chopped off!" Aunt Tang stamped her foot. "Why are you always being bullied, child, and afraid to say a word? Forget it, you young people are too shy to help, so I, Aunt Tang, will handle this!"
A thief in the family compound is a big deal. In the entire compound, apart from Wang Lijuan, she has the highest seniority.
The other young military wives, including Cen Yan, all called her "Auntie." As an auntie, she couldn't just stand by and watch her juniors be bullied! Wasn't Tian Ying just taking advantage of her age to bully people with inappropriate terms of seniority?
Let's see how Tian Ying can cause trouble with her around! Humph!
Cen Yan knew she had successfully used Aunt Tang and her sisters-in-law as pawns, and felt guilty about it.
"Aunt Tang, sisters-in-law, please wait a moment. I'll go in and get you some pork cracklings. There's too much for Qi Jingchuan and me to finish. It would be a waste to keep it, and people would covet it."
