Chapter 123 Rumors
So when they arrived at Yushan Town, the team leader separated from them and took them to the police station himself.
Jin's parents pushed a cart and took their son to the hospital for examination. The doctor lifted up Jin Tongji's pants and examined him. In the end, it was determined that he had only minor injuries and the situation was not serious. He just needed to lie down for a few days to recuperate.
So when the captain brought the police to the hospital and learned that Jin Tongji's condition was not serious, he was a little surprised: "The doctor said it's not serious?"
Father Jin looked honest and said, "The doctor said that the bones were not injured, but the tendons were injured. That's why he couldn't stand up at the time. We were so scared that we thought his leg was broken."
Although the captain felt it was a little strange, since the doctor made such a judgment, he thought it might be because of darkness. The people who found Jin Tongji at the time did not carefully examine his injuries. They thought that since he could not stand up, his leg was broken and did not think too much about it.
Several police officers began to ask Jin Tongji about the situation when he was attacked. Jin Tongji was also very angry. He didn't know who the person who attacked him secretly was. He could only try his best to recall what happened at that time and then told everything.
Then, several police officers found that what Jin Tongji said was the same as not saying anything. He didn't even know whether the person who attacked him was a man or a woman, so several police officers decided to go to Lianshan Village to see if there were any traces left at the scene.
After all this trouble, it was already dawn. Jin Tongji had no choice but to take the train to find Shen Shilei by himself. He could only postpone this matter, and the group returned to Lianshan Village.
The news of Jin Tongji's attack had spread by the morning. Jiang Panyu pretended not to know and blended into the crowd, listening with surprise to the gossip sisters who were gossiping together.
The Jin family and the team leader returned with the police, and many people ran to the village entrance to join in the fun, hoping to see if they could find some clues at the scene of the incident.
It’s a pity that Jiang Panyu handled the matter very cleanly and the police didn’t find anything useful. They just made a record and left.
Jiang Panyu saw that Jin Tong Tongji had already done it in the crowd, and knew that Jin Tongxin must have used koi beads.
It doesn’t matter, even if he can stand up, just give him two more sticks. There’s no need to be merciful when facing such a scum.
The police left, but the villagers did not leave. They followed the Jin family and wanted to hear what happened to Jin Tongji last night.
Jiang Panyu also followed the crowd into the Jin family's yard, but she did not go into the house. Instead, she walked around the yard, carefully looking at every plant and tree in the yard.
To be honest, on the surface, the Jin family's yard is no different from other people's, but in some details, it is not so rigorous.
Maybe it's because things have been going too smoothly these years. From being cautious in the beginning, I have become a little careless now.
For example, the chicken trough in the chicken coop looks like an antique bowl. As the protagonist, and a protagonist with good luck in koi, although it is filled with water, can the antique bowl in the protagonist's home be fake? That has to be true!
Also, the basket under the kitchen eaves contains eggs, right? A full basket hanging under the eaves, looking like it’s ready to be eaten at any time, which makes people jealous.
Moreover, when Jin Ma came out to boil water, she lifted the kitchen curtain and could clearly see the piles of bacon hanging under the eaves. If it was before the Chinese New Year, no one would think much about it, after all, every family would prepare some meat for the Chinese New Year. But it was already after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there was still so much meat, which could easily arouse other people's imaginations.
Turning his head, Jiang Panyu saw two pairs of calfskin shoes placed on the windowsill. They were exactly the same pairs of shoes, women's style, but in different colors. He bought two pairs at a time.
They are sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives. A pair of leather shoes with a ticket costs 15 yuan, while the price on the black market without a ticket is double that.
There were several clothes hanging on the clothesline in the yard. When I got closer, I saw that they were all wool sweaters. From the different sizes and colors, I knew they were for a family of four. A pound of wool is not cheap nowadays and it is still a hot commodity. You can't buy it just because you want it. The Jin family bought four wool sweaters at once, and they looked about 70% to 80% new. They were really generous!
There were two bicycles next to the pile of firewood. Although they were not new, no one in the village had two bicycles!
Besides, everyone's bicycle is treated as a treasure. Who would just leave it in the yard, exposed to the wind and sun?
With this standard of living, they are different from ordinary people in every way. What is said above does not mean that rural people cannot wear or use things.
Who doesn’t have one or two nice clothes or a pair of good shoes? But it is absolutely impossible for so many good things to be concentrated in one house. Even if there are, they will only be in small quantities.
For example, only when the whole family contributes money to support one person can one have such a good life.
The Jin family probably didn't expect so many people would come to watch the fun, and they were caught off guard and had no preparation to clean up the mess, so their family assets were immediately exposed.
This was certainly not a surprise. Why did Jiang Panyu come out to join in the fun without even eating in the morning? For this very purpose.
She first chatted with the gossip sisters about what happened last night, and then intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the Jin family. She looked very curious about who Jin Tongji had offended to be treated so cruelly, which also aroused the curiosity of others.
When the Jin family came back, Jiang Panyu hid in the crowd again, and asked intentionally or unintentionally whether Jin Tongji had done something shameful, otherwise why was he beaten but not others.
Everyone was already curious about this matter, and after being provoked by Jiang Panyu, their curiosity became even stronger, so they shamelessly went to watch the fun.
What Jiang Panyu saw at the Jin family, other people who paid a little attention could also see.
At this point, everyone's attention was no longer focused on why Jin Tongji was injured. Food was very expensive these days, and others said that one had to work hard for a whole year to have a bite of meat to eat.
No one expected the Jin family to be so wealthy, having things like woolen sweaters, leather shoes, and bicycles. Everyone immediately started whispering.
When the Jin family saw that something was not right, they said that their son needed to rest and sent away all the people who came to watch the fun, but the matter was not over yet.
The villagers only found out today that the Jin family is so well off. Some smart and calculating people calculated the Jin family’s work points for the previous year and found something wrong. The income did not match the family’s daily expenses at all!
If someone in the Jin family was a worker with a stable job and had all these good things at home, others would be jealous but would not think too much about it. However, the four members of the Jin family all have rural household registration.
With three working people in the family to support the whole family, is there any extra money to buy these good things? Where does the money come from? Where do the tickets used to buy things come from?
Moreover, Jin Tongxin, the youngest daughter of the Jin family, has had poor health since childhood. She has been taking medicine all year round. Everyone in the village knows it, but her life is so good. It would be strange if there is no trick.
The villagers began to spread rumors, saying that the Jin family must be doing business on the black market, otherwise how could they have so many good things?
