Chapter 131 There may be a gold mine under that mountain
Li Yanyan's eyes widened. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. She pointed at Lin Qingqing with shaking hands.
Zhang Jingwan stood aside and sneered. He thought everyone was a fool. They were just ignorant country folk.
She and Li Yanyan had planned it carefully before setting a trap for her here.
It's not something that can be concluded just by opening one's mouth.
Political Commissar Wang and the chief looked at each other. Colonel Lin was too nice. He had given them a good reason, but they didn't just go along with it.
Political Commissar Wang's face sank as he spoke first: "When I came here, I saw Li Yanyan rolling on the ground like a two-year-old child. It was really embarrassing for a military wife. If you don't want to return to the army, I can talk to Battalion Commander Zhang and have her send you back."
Li Yanyan's eyes widened: "I..."
The chief interrupted her again: "I see it the same way as the political commissar."
Li Yanyan suddenly felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express the pain.
Are the two leaders too old and their eyesight blurry to make a mistake?
Zhang Jingwan was also anxious: "Lin Qingqing just wiped off the footprints on Li Yanyan's body, and everyone saw it."
Are the two leaders so forgetful?
The political commissar and the commander shook their heads and said in unison: "I didn't see it."
Aunt Wang: "I didn't see it."
Xiaomei: "I didn't see it."
The eight sisters-in-law kept silent, which was a statement of their stance.
Everyone in the place protected Lin Qingqing, and Li Yanyan and Zhang Jingwan were going crazy.
Li Yanyan's face was even darker than Lin Qingqing's at its darkest.
Zhang Jingwan was furious: "She beat Li Yanyan, so I went to the two leaders. I am willing to swear as a party member."
Political Commissar Wang asked an ambiguous question: "When you came back, did you see her lying on the ground or standing up?"
Zhang Jingwan: "..." When she came back, she saw Li Yanyan standing up.
She couldn't say that she saw someone being beaten, she really didn't see it.
Seeing that she was speechless, the leader said, "Since you haven't seen it, don't swear an oath on the party members casually."
Can party members use such trivial conflicts as this to argue?
There is something wrong with Zhang Jingwan’s thinking!
The political commissar waved his hand at everyone and said, "It's already past nine o'clock. Whether you're still asleep or not, go home."
After saying this, he took the lead and left, followed closely by the chief.
Aunt Wang glanced at Zhang Jingwan and warned her, "Jingwan, don't wear red clothes at night. It's scary."
Just now, Zhang Jingwan, dressed in bright red, had run to the chief's house as if for her life. Late at night, the dim light from the doorway cast a long shadow on her, making the chief and Aunt Wang look as if they were watching a horror movie.
"Ha ha ha ha"
Xiaomei and her eight sisters-in-law burst into laughter.
Zhang Jingwan: “…”
Lin Qingqing smiled at her eight sisters-in-law and said that she would treat them to a meal some other day. Then she pulled Xiaomei, who was laughing so hard, out.
The eight sisters-in-law also turned around tacitly and went back to the tube building, discussing the brilliance of Aunt Wang's words while chatting. They also felt the same way.
"Who would be running around in red clothes at night?"
"Who says it isn't?"
“…”
Only Zhang Jingwan and Li Yanyan were left at the scene, both looking dejected.
Zhang Jingwan seemed to be thinking about something and asked, "After I died, did Lin Qingqing hit you again?"
Li Yanyan's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She nodded vigorously and whispered a few words in Li Yanyan's ear. Li Yanyan immediately burst into laughter.
The two of them happily returned to the tube building.
…
Lin Qingqing and Xiaomei were quick and quickly caught up with the leader and the political commissar.
She took two quick steps and was shoulder to shoulder with the two men.
"Commander, Political Commissar Wang, if you're not in a hurry to sleep, come to my house for a drink of water. Thank you for helping me just now."
The commander wanted to say he shouldn't be so polite, but Political Commissar Wang interrupted him: "It's only nine o'clock, it's still early."
Lin Qingqing looked at Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt, you come and chat too. It won't waste time."
Aunt Wang nodded and said that Lin Qingqing was good at dealing with people. She must have something to say for meeting the political commissar and her husband so late at night. She was afraid of gossip, so she dragged herself along.
Several people soon arrived at Lin Qingqing's house. When she passed by the political commissar's house, she saw that his door was not closed. This meant that he was worried about her, and she would remember it.
After entering the yard, Aunt Wang saw that the bluestone slabs were covered with winter stalks. She curiously pulled Xiaomei to ask her about everything, and Xiaomei told her everything one by one.
From the first time I went up the mountain, I sold herbs...
Lin Qingqing led Political Commissar Wang and Chief Qian into the hall. She didn't even pour water at night, but just sat down and started talking.
"Two leaders, I have something to report to you when you come here so late at night."
The chief and Political Commissar Wang also put away their expressions and let her speak with serious faces.
Chief: "Xiao Lin, don't beat around the bush or be polite with us. Just say what you want to say."
Political Commissar Wang: "That's right."
Lin Qingqing: "The county asked me to promote herbal medicine in the local communes. Today I'm in the more remote Liutangbao Commune. There are four mountains there, and on two of them grows a plant called 'Wenjincao'. This herb also has another name: 'Wen'... Jincao, meaning 'gold'."
She imitated Jiang Haixia's way of speaking and spoke softly to the two leaders.
Political Commissar Wang: "Really?"
He reacted faster and was more excited than the leader.
Chief: "Maybe there's a gold mine under that mountain?"
Lin Qingqing nodded.
It's not that the chief wasn't excited, it's just that Lin Qingqing was good at manufacturing, and discovering minerals required professionals to make judgments.
What if Lin Qingqing’s guess is wrong?
Gold mines cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Political Commissar Wang trusted Lin Qingqing more: "Tomorrow I will apply to the Geological Bureau to send two exploration personnel to take a look."
This is what Lin Qingqing meant. She couldn't guarantee that there would be a gold mine.
"Well, the other two mountains might also be mines. I don't know what they are. We should send more exploration personnel over when the time comes. It's best not to let the villagers see it. Their commune is suffering from famine. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, I'm afraid it will cause some bad consequences."
"I'm done."
Chief: You mean we should kill people?
Political Commissar Wang: I understand.
He stood up and said, "It's getting late, Old Wang, let's go back to bed."
The chief followed Political Commissar Wang and stood up. Seeing his wife's excited face in the yard, he pulled Aunt Wang out the door.
Why are you still chatting so late at night?
