When she arrived, several circles of villagers had already gathered around Old Lady Xia.
After all, this is a big deal, even the police have come.
But Aunt Li Wu was short and was blocked from view by the villagers. She only heard Old Lady Xia saying bad things about her family. She was furious and immediately shouted, "Bullshit! That bitch Chen Xianghong accepted the betrothal gift from our family. Are you trying to cheat us out of our money?"
She boasted that she had given birth to three sons, all of whom were strong and powerful, and she was not afraid of anyone, so she spoke so confidently. The worst that could happen was that she would be scolded by the team leader. What was she afraid of?
With her three sons behind her, who in the entire Lijia Village brigade is not afraid of her?
She didn't notice that the villagers, who usually chattered with each other, were unusually quiet today and were still shouting.
"Chen Xianghong, you shameless person! I clearly asked my Dazhuang to bring you fifty yuan as a betrothal gift, and he even put it in a small mandarin duck-shaped package that his sister-in-law had just sewn, and you actually refused to acknowledge it."
She struggled to squeeze in, her mouth wide open, cursing. But when she saw the two uniformed police officers, she felt as if someone had grabbed her by the neck, and her voice suddenly faltered.
Why have even the police come? There’s no need to call the police for such a small matter as the betrothal gift, right?
Aunt Li Wu was stunned, and so were the three big men behind her. They were usually so arrogant, relying on their height and strength to look down on others, but when faced with the police, they suddenly shrank their necks like ostriches and hid behind the thin Aunt Li Wu.
"Shut up right there." The captain's penis was bulging with anger. This guy was more likely to cause trouble than to help. "Two police officers, please forgive the villagers for their rude words."
Old Lady Xia sobbed again, "My dear Xiang Hong, she dares to bully us like this even when the police are here. How much suffering did you endure alone in the past?"
Aunt Li Wu was furious. Chen Xianghong was a little vixen, and her mother was an old vixen. Everyone saw how fiercely she fought yesterday. Why did she start crying now that the police were here?
It's just a show for them, it's really hateful.
Aunt Li Wu also wanted to cry like Old Lady Xia, but because she had been strong all her life, she couldn't cry at all and could only sit on the ground and howl.
Old Mrs. Xia has a kind face and you can tell at first glance that she is an easy-going old lady, especially when she lowers her head and wipes her tears, she looks so pitiful that everyone sympathizes with her.
But Aunt Li Wu has always been domineering in this village. She will make a fuss even if she is not right. In addition, her cheeks are sunken, her body is thin and dark, which makes her look very hateful.
Zhang Gongan was so annoyed by the howling that he shouted, "Stop crying for now."
"Captain, please take me to the accountant's office first to check the account books. I want to see if Chen Zhiqing's handwritten account books match the ones kept by the brigade. Then we can check the postal remittance slips that Chen Zhiqing used to send the money one by one. We'll do this one by one."
The team leader naturally agreed. Accountant Li in their team was a good accountant. His account books were clean and the accounts were clear. Even the commune had praised him.
"Please follow me." The captain led the way.
Li Zhuang's fingers were twisted like a pretzel in the back. He knew where the money went, but he didn't dare to say it, especially in front of the police.
He couldn't help but resent Chen Xianghong. He had originally thought that Chen Xianghong was a person who was easy to control. When she first came, she was beautiful and cooked delicious food. He had been paying attention to her for a long time before deciding to choose her as his wife.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected when he expressed his feelings to her. Li Zhuang felt even more resentful and started to follow her every day.
After Chen Xianghong noticed this, he started to go back and forth with the other people in the educated youth institute and was rarely left alone.
Li Zhuang stared for a long time and was threatened by other people in the educated youth institute, and they almost got into a fight.
Finally one day, he found his chance. Chen Xianghong went back to the educated youth residence early to take a shower while everyone was watching a movie, and he spied on her.
Although, by the time he knocked on the window, Chen Xianghong had already wrapped most of her body with clothes, so what? At this time, there was very little tolerance for such things.
As expected, he said he would tell everyone loudly about his relationship with her. After a few days of persuasion, she still agreed to marry him, but she wanted to inform her parents first.
Li Zhuang didn't care about her parents in the city. How could they care about her when she was abandoned by her parents and never received any financial support?
So, Li Zhuang didn't wait for her parents' reply and immediately asked his mother to prepare the betrothal gift.
It's a pity. Li Zhuang thought of this and slapped his hands hard. How could his luck be so bad?
Public Security Officer Zhang was walking to the office with the captain when he suddenly stopped and looked towards the mountain behind.
This person...
He touched Cui Gongan's hand, raised his chin and motioned him to look.
"Isn't this the scoundrel from Zhaojia Village whom we failed to catch that day?" Officer Cui took a closer look. This was incredible. He had just been accompanying an old lady on a visit out of boredom, but he actually got this reward.
They whispered to everyone to be quiet and followed quietly.
Zhao Erlaizi originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the storm had died down in the past few days to go to the dilapidated house in the back mountain and take out all the money they had hidden.
He deliberately did not go through Zhaojia Village, but instead took a long detour to come to Chenjia Village.
Firstly, it was to conceal his identity. His reputation in Zhaojia Village had long been tarnished, and the last time the police came to arrest gamblers, he had escaped, but his name was already registered with the police, and everyone was keeping an eye on him. These past few days, he had been living cautiously, fearing discovery.
Secondly, I heard that Lijia Village was very lively these two days and everyone went to watch the fun, so who would stare at him?
