With Lin Wan's consent, the public security comrades, accompanied by the village head's wife and Wang Qiaoyun, re-searched Lin Wan's house and the area outside the house.

The sky was getting darker and the night was getting colder. Lin Wan stood in the yard wearing a military coat and watched.

Finally, the relevant people went to the village committee office, and everyone else dispersed.

"Zhou Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing is innocent. We searched all the places and did not see any money or money from you.

As for what you said about seeing Lin Zhiqing picking up things, please verify with me to make sure that you saw Lin Zhiqing picking up your money with your own eyes.

Or did you just see her bending over to pick something up? Please answer my question truthfully."

Tang Gongan had been to Dongsheng Village last time and met Lin Wan and others. He was naturally familiar with Zhou Rongrong.

He was also the one who reviewed the affairs of Zhou Rongrong and the Zhou brothers.

For example, regarding this farce, whether subjectively or objectively, he believed that it was this educated youth Zhou who was causing the trouble.

Zhou Rongrong stared at the face and took a deep breath. "I saw her pick up the money. It was quite far away. Judging from the pattern, it was my money."

"Then why didn't you stop Lin Zhiqing's behavior at that time? With so many people outside, would someone come to help if you shouted?

Why did you choose to ask the village chief and everyone to come and criticize Lin Zhiqing later? Zhou Zhiqing, please speak."

Public Security Tang stared at Zhou Rongrong's every move with sharp eyes.

"I...I...I was afraid I was seeing things, and I wasn't sure...It was only when I realized I had lost my money that I thought of what Lin Wan had picked up."

Zhou Rongrong stammered as she tried to explain her actions.

"According to our investigation, Lin Zhiqing did not bend down to pick up anything at the time, and two villagers also proved that Lin Zhiqing left after talking to you.

And after she went back, she didn't go anywhere near the house. She was busy preparing the dishes. We searched all the places she passed by, including the cellar. What do you think?"

Tang Gongan slapped the table vigorously, making a loud bang.

"You still don't tell the truth. You have framed and harmed the orphans of martyrs. The circumstances are serious. You don't want to get well. All the brothers of the Zhou family are undergoing reform. You also want to go in and reunite with them, right?"

"No, I really lost my money. I really lost it. Ugh...Ugh..."

Zhou Rongrong was so angry that she was crying. It was only over a hundred yuan... She had been frugal since she came to the countryside and was reluctant to spend it. Now it was all gone...

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to hand over the money, saying that it was someone who took it... but he didn't say anything.

I really can’t explain this clearly… I can’t even talk about the time I was delayed…

"It's no use crying. Tell me what happened. Why did you frame Lin Zhiqing for stealing your money?" Policeman Tang continued to interrogate Zhou Rongrong.

"I...I forgot, I lost my money. I only met Auntie Wang and Lin Wan along the way. The money was still there when I was talking to Auntie Wang.

After talking to Lin Wan, the money was lost, and I thought she took it away. I…I lied because I was anxious…I didn’t see Lin Wan pick up the money…but it wasn’t long before I thought she stole it.

In order to find my money, I just tried to search her house, and they searched me and my house, and the money was really gone."

Zhou Rongrong only admitted that she lied because she lost her money and was anxious to get it back.

He refused to admit that he had framed Lin Wan.

Tang Gongan's molars squeaked as he looked at Zhou Rongrong's shameless look.

If she wasn't pregnant, I would have sent her to a farm for some time to reform.

I quickly wrote a police report and an interrogation certificate. Considering Zhou Rongrong's bad deeds, I thought that the money was probably hidden by her.

"We have checked Lin Zhiqing's place, but we didn't find your money. You don't have any evidence to prove that it was Lin Zhiqing who did it, but you are blaming Lin Zhiqing for it.

We will let the village chief follow up on the money issue. Even if you really lost the money, a large part of it cannot be found.

But you must publicly apologize in Dongsheng Village for what happened to Lin Zhiqing. Considering that you are pregnant, we will not take you back to the city for ideological education.

As for your agreement, since it is signed with the official seal of Dongsheng Village, please fulfill your promise."

Public Security Tang glanced at the village chief Lin Zhiqing and several other members in the room, and then spoke to Zhou Rongrong.

After hearing this, Zhou Rongrong collapsed in her chair, her hands shaking with anger.

What does it mean to fulfill a promise? Her money was lost, so you just let it go?

When Zhou Rongrong returned home, she saw that Shen Zhenzhu had already made her quilt.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Rongrong opened the box, took out two pieces of peach cakes, and poured herself a bowl of warm water before sitting on the edge of the kang and eating while leaning against the kang table.

He showed no humility towards the sister-in-law whom he had only looked up to before.

Shen Zhenzhu glanced at Zhou Rongrong, showing no intention of giving in, and without arguing, she turned around and took out her bag and opened it.

I took a piece of chocolate from it and slowly opened it, eating it in small bites. There was less than a piece left in it. This was what I bought when I had nothing to do at home the other day.

Zhou Rongrong looked at Shen Zhenzhu sitting there silently eating chocolate, and licked the peach crumbs at the corner of her mouth.

"You must be hungry after sitting in the car all day. I'll make you some corn porridge later."

Zhou Rongrong wanted to make something good for Shen Zhenzhu. Of course, she thought so after seeing Shen Zhenzhu eating chocolate.

I remember that Shen Shili had given me this before in Hai City. I didn't have the money to buy it myself.

But now I only have cornmeal at home, so I can’t make anything fancy.

Shen Zhenzhu turned around and smiled when she heard Zhou Rongrong's words, "Okay, thank you for your help, sister-in-law."

Zhou Rongrong could only return Shen Zhenzhu's smile awkwardly and quickly ate the peach cake in her hand.

"You haven't told me yet, why did you go to the countryside?" Zhou Rongrong certainly didn't forget to ask the question she had asked.

Could it be that Shen Shili was worried about her and asked her sister-in-law to take care of her as a pregnant woman? Zhou Rongrong thought so.

Shen Zhenzhu looked at the simple mud house in the dim light of the kerosene lamp with disgust in her eyes.

"My brother found a job in the city, and I had graduated. Since I had no job and no marriage, I naturally had to move to the countryside."

Shen Zhenzhu said lightly, and suddenly thought of Lin Wan whom she saw that evening.

When did Lin 냭wan become so pretty? The original Lin 냭wan was pretty, but the current Lin 냭wan is even prettier.

That kind of beauty comes from the inside out without a single flaw, with fair, smooth skin, and a tender look as if a handful of water could be squeezed out.

The originally exquisite and beautiful features became more lively, and she glanced at the skinny and pale Zhou Rongrong.

Shen Zhenzhu couldn't help but sigh. She really didn't know how her elder brother could be so blind.
