That's true. There aren't many people in the police station. If they mess with people from the previous village, they might suffer.
Those who arrived first gave their statements before Qian Xiao and the others were released. As for whether the village could find what they had discovered, it shouldn't be a big problem. Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng had tampered with the places where they hid the items, so it would be easy to find the flaws.
It was just a coincidence that we came here today. If we had come for a proper check-up, they probably wouldn't have found anything.
The remaining issues are not their concern; asking too many questions might get them into trouble themselves.
Qian Baozhu patted Qian Xiao's head and said to Sun Kaicheng's shoulder, "You two did a good job. You are truly good children of our village."
"Grandpa, do you think I was too impulsive today? Will someone come after us to take revenge on the people in our village?" The main problem is that her grandparents and her second and third uncles' families all live in the village. What if they target her younger brothers?
Thinking back on it now, I still feel a bit scared. She was just trying to make it sound serious to intimidate people, but who would have thought that she would actually be right.
"Don't worry, there are so many of us in the Qian family, they wouldn't dare." Although there are occasional squabbles among the villagers, when it comes to uniting against a common enemy, Qianjia Village is arguably the most united of all the villages in the vicinity.
I can't speak for other things, but he can certainly protect the people in the village.
Qian Xiao quickly bowed: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa."
Qian Baozhu shook his head with amusement: "You brat, you're being too polite with your great-uncle. Go back home, your grandma must be worried sick."
When Qian Xiao returned home, she was subjected to a thorough interrogation. She never expected such serious consequences. She had eaten her fill before going to see what was going on, but she couldn't just pretend she hadn't seen the suspicious person.
If you really pretend you didn't see it, believe it or not, given the suspicious nature of those bad people, they'll suspect you've discovered something and try to silence you.
Old Man Qian laughed heartily after hearing this: "As expected of my granddaughter, whose child is so capable? You did the right thing. Those bad people should not be let off the hook no matter what."
Seeing her granddaughter looking worried, Grandma Qian patted her head and said, "Don't worry too much, you little one. As long as we are still members of the Qian family living in Qianjiatun, nothing will happen."
The older generation is extremely intolerant of any wrongdoing. No matter what kind of bad behavior someone has, they will not approve of it and will certainly not help cover it up.
"Really? The villagers really won't retaliate against our family?"
"Don't worry, judging from this trend, if those people really are up to no good, they're going to have a tough time in the coming days. Instead of keeping a low profile, they'll be looking for trouble."
Old Man Qian clicked his tongue: "I knew it. Looking at that Zhu Laojiu, he didn't seem like a good person. He always looked at people with a sideways glance, and his smile was sinister."
The older generation knows a lot about what happened in Zhujia Village, but they never expected that even after so many years since liberation, these people still think it's the same as before.
The second and third aunts were applying medicine to their second and third uncles, and they were also listening to them talk: "That's right, Erdan, don't worry. People from Qianjiatun are not people that anyone can bully."
Third Aunt slapped her husband: "You're useless. If Erdan hadn't gone, I don't know what would have happened to you this time."
Qian Sanbao grimaced but dared not resist: "Who would have thought that the people in their village could be so heartless and insane? You didn't see it, they were so tough. Those guys acted like the grain belonged to them. They started fighting before we even exchanged a few words. If only more people had gone with us back then."
"Serves you right. I'll see if you'll ever try to be the hero again. You always have to be the first to step up, and you've even dragged your second brother into this mess." Auntie San knew that her husband must have been the one to arrange things, and her second brother had gone along because he was worried about her.
This isn't the Qian family's business, so why should they go? She looks down on the Cao family, so why should her own man step forward?
Qian Sanbao scratched his head and grinned foolishly. Whatever he said was wrong. He just had to listen to his wife when she was angry. If Erdan and the Sun family boy hadn't arrived in time, those of them who arrived earlier would not have gotten away with it.
Old Man Qian sighed, "You know, people shouldn't be too greedy, or they'll end up in trouble. Look at that, if they had just returned that grain today, would this have happened?"
Qian Sanbao disagreed: "Dad, if you ask me, it was only a matter of time before something bad happened in Zhujia Village. I heard that the educated youth in their village can't even leave the village, they're treated like prisoners."
“The packages that are mailed in have to be opened and inspected by the village before they can be delivered to us. By the time they arrive, less than half of them have been delivered. The letters that are written also have to be inspected by the village before they can be sent out.”
"I didn't believe it when I first heard about it, but now I do. I guess they're afraid these educated youth will go out and complain to someone?"
Old Qian nodded: "I reckon the educated youth discovered something. They weren't sure if the educated youth had actually discovered anything, so they put them under guard instead of silencing them." Besides, it would be difficult for them to explain if these people from the city died in the village.
"You know, these kids have it tough. How many villages are as reasonable as Qianjiatun?"
"Sir, Zhu Family Village isn't far from the commune. Aren't you afraid of being discovered doing this? Or do they have some powerful backers in the commune or county town?"
Old Man Qian looked at his eldest granddaughter with admiration: "Who knows? But this incident will make them suffer. Even if there are some people involved, what can they do? We are farmers. They can't just take back our land and stop us from farming. The Qian family is not so easy to bully."
Everyone has a few people behind them, but our family members are more discreet. There's no need to flaunt it to everyone; that's not showing off, that's inviting trouble.
Qian Xiao nodded. The Qian family had some influence, although she didn't know the specifics. But she had a good memory and remembered hearing her grandfather's generation mention it a few times when she was little.
They certainly don't hold any high-ranking official positions, but they're good enough for their small territory.
However, she went to school after being sent to the countryside as an educated youth, and she really didn't know that Zhujia Village treated educated youth so badly. I remember reading some materials or novels before, many of which recorded that if educated youth could go to a kind place, it would be alright, at most they would suffer physically.
She never imagined that something like this would happen right in front of her, especially since it was a lawless place where life would be like being soaked in bitter water. She wondered if the educated youth had suffered any physical harm.
