Chapter 154 Asking for Help



After deciding to go to the gold shop, Su Baihan had to change his itinerary because there was no gold shop in the county town and he had to go to a big city.

He couldn't bring all those women along, so after much thought he decided to bring Accountant Wang along, because he wasn't very good at accounting and maybe she could be useful.

Accountant Wang was fired for being absent from work for many days. The factory informed her of the incident, and her parents also found out.

After falling out with her family, she could only hang out with Su Baihan. Fortunately, this man gave her hope, so she didn't care as much as before about how many women he had.

She also secretly regretted having the child aborted. If she had had the child, perhaps she would have had the highest status among these women.

Qin Fang had to work another day on Saturday, so they postponed their trip to the county town for a day and went to Sunday. Because they had informed Li Xiaoyan in advance, they successfully borrowed a horse-drawn carriage.

This time I purchased a lot of things, mainly to prepare for winter. I must buy more cotton and cloth. I also ran out of lard at home, so I needed to buy some fat to make oil. I'll see if I can buy it. If I can't, I'll have to ask Lao Wang for help again.

Lao Wang has now been promoted to the canteen director, managing all the people. After getting promoted, he has to pretend to be a good person and behave himself in the next one or two months.

So they didn't ask him for help if they could avoid it. Besides, they had money and the tickets they bought last time, so they could buy things through legitimate channels.

I bought 40 kilograms of cotton. I went to the cashier and bought all the stock in the store. Of course, I gave him some benefits, otherwise they would not dare to sell such a large order.

She selected 4 patterns for the fabrics. The original owner brought a quilt when she got married, but it was a bit thin, so Lin Qiaoqiao planned to make one herself.

As for seasonings and food, I also bought some, including 50 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour. Now that the weather is turning cooler, they can all be stored.

If you buy all of these at once, you don’t need to buy more than a month. After buying all these things, the whole carriage was filled up, and there was almost no room for the two children to sit.

At noon, they did not eat at the state-owned restaurant, but bought a bag of buns and heated them up to eat directly when they got home.

Lin Qiaoqiao still thinks that the buns she made are delicious. Today, she bought three pounds of large bones, two pounds of high-quality pork belly, and more than three pounds of salted fish. There must always be meat dishes at home.

By the time they returned to the village, it was already past 3 p.m., and they were really exhausted.

If I had taken the main road, others would have seen me buying so many things, and the gossips in the village would have had an opportunity to gossip about me.

No matter what era, there are always a few people who like to gossip, and it becomes wrong when gossip is passed on.

Li Xiaoyan asked them to buy some meat, and when they returned the carriage, Lin Qiaoqiao followed them.

By this time it was already getting a little dark.

Hearing the sound of the carriage, Cao Dewang immediately came out of the house. Seeing that the horse was fine, he led the carriage back to the yard.

He treasured the horse like his own son.

Li Xiaoyan came out of the house immediately afterwards and saw that Lin Qiaoqiao had brought back the meat, and it was a piece of top-quality pork belly.

"You're still good at buying meat. I even bought you such good pork belly! Tomorrow is my mother-in-law's birthday. Do you want to come over?"

Lin Qiaoqiao didn't say anything polite to her.

"Sure! I'll make you some birthday peaches at home!"

He also handed over the pork belly in his hand, "We were lucky today. It's a big pig with a lot of fat. I also bought 20 kilograms to make oil!"

Li Xiaoyan, "You are really good. You bought so much fatty meat at once. I will help you make oil tomorrow. I will also give you a bowl of oil!"

Lin Qiaoqiao nodded, "Okay, let's make it this way. You can come over to help me when the time comes. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to cut so much meat at once!"

The two chatted for a while like sisters.

Cao Mingyuan thought about what happened yesterday, then came out of the room and said to Qin Fang,

"Have you heard about what happened in our village?"

"What happened?" Qin Fang asked.

My guess is that the letter of accusation played a role.

Cao Mingyuan squatted on the ground and took a puff of his pipe. As the head of the village, he was also very worried if this really happened.

Will there be people who will come to their school to teach in the future? If they had known that, they would have arranged for people to live in the villagers' homes and nothing would have happened.

If this is investigated, he, as the village chief, will definitely be held responsible.

"It seems that the teacher surnamed Luo was murdered. The police will come to investigate tomorrow. If a body is really found in the back mountain, my job as village chief will be over."

Qin Fang immediately understood what the other party meant, so he continued,

"This is none of your business. If the higher-ups want to deal with it, I'll go talk to them!"

"Will it work?" Cao Mingyuan just wanted to give it a try.

The most promising person in their village is Qin Fang. He used to be a soldier in the army and earned a lot of money. I heard that he was a high-ranking official.

After he was demobilized and returned to the local area, he became the factory director. It was a large factory with one or two thousand people. It might be expanded in the future and could potentially employ several thousand or even tens of thousands of people.

Qin Fang, "How do you know if you don't try? I can still talk to several leaders in the county. This matter is definitely not your fault. You just need to help cooperate with the investigation.

Why don't you organize a few people to follow the police on Monday and help them look for it? If you can help find some clues, our village will have done a great service!"

Cao Mingyuan, "You're right, why didn't I think of that? Let's organize a few people to follow them tomorrow morning. The mountain is too big, and the police only have a dozen people at most. How can they be used?"

Qin Fang, "It's best to find a few people who are familiar with the mountain. If there are any changes around, they can see it at a glance. If they find any problems, report them to the police immediately. Don't act on your own.

In a murder case, the worst thing to do is to destroy the scene."

After hearing this, Cao Mingyuan nodded repeatedly to indicate that he understood. He was quite scared at first because he had been the village chief for many years. If he didn't do that, it would feel like something was missing.

When it was completely dark, they left.

After returning home, Lin Qiaoqiao heated up the remaining buns, and they ate them while they were hot by candlelight.

The two kids were tired during the day, so after eating and going to the toilet, they went back to their room to sleep.

They cleaned up the kitchen and returned to the house.

Lin Qiaoqiao closed the door and asked, "Do you think they can find it tomorrow?"

Qin Fang, "It's hard to say, maybe! After all, that place is quite obvious. I've said it to that extent. Anyone who is familiar with the place will find that there is something wrong with those stones."
