"It's hard to say, sister-in-law, did you close the door when you went out?" Ye Li asked.
"No, you know, in our village, no one's door is closed during the day, and we haven't seen many things lost here on weekdays." Liu Xiaohua had a worried look on her face. The money she earned from making clothes recently was not enough to compensate for the three skirts.
"Ye Li, how do you think we can solve the problem on my end? I can't afford to pay for so many skirts." Zhuzi's mother also had a bitter look on her face. She didn't know what to do and she really didn't have the money to pay.
"Sister-in-law, Auntie, don't worry. Let's put it this way. Whether it's a lost skirt or a skirt that was bitten by mice, put it in the account first. When the goods are sold and the money is divided, I will ask Gensheng to deduct these money. How about that?"
Ye Li also knew that it was impossible to ask them to pay compensation now, so he gave them some time.
"Okay! That's good. I agree."
"I agree!"
"Okay, don't worry about it. Be careful to take good care of your clothes next time, and don't lose them again."
"I will definitely not lose it again. If I lose it again, all my hard work will be in vain!"
...
...
After Ye Li separated from the two of them, she was thinking about finding time to ask the village chief to hold a meeting to discuss the safekeeping of the cloth and clothes, so that they would not be lost by one family or another. It would not only cause trouble but also dampen the enthusiasm of the villagers to work.
"Li Li, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Xun saw that Ye Li had been walking with his head down and didn't chat with him.
"Oh, I was thinking about the lost clothes. Who else did you think took the clothes from Liu Xiaohua's house?" Ye Li asked.
"It's hard to say. There are many cases of missing things in the village. In the past, when we were hungry and cold, it was common for people to steal two corns from one family and two carrots from another. Now they just exchange the corns and carrots for clothes."
Ye Li nodded when he heard Jiang Xun's words, agreeing with his point of view. There are always some thieves in every village.
"Li Li, I thought you were thinking about the woman who was caught just now." Jiang Xun looked at Ye Li, as if waiting for her next reaction.
"Why do you say that? There is indeed something wrong with that woman just now. From the way she was dressed, it was obvious that she was from the city. Hey! Is she the strange woman that Gensheng mentioned who was wandering around the village?"
Ye Li's attention was just on the matter of Liu Xiaohua losing her skirt, and she didn't think too much about other things. After Jiang Xun's reminder, she suddenly remembered what Guan Gensheng had told her.
"Well, it's not just that. Don't you think that woman looks familiar?" Jiang Xun continued to ask.
"You know what, she really does look familiar! But when I walked up to her, she had already put on sunglasses and a hat, so I couldn't see clearly. Jiang Xun, tell me, can you tell who she is?" Ye Li only felt that the figure seemed familiar, and the voice also sounded somewhat familiar.
"Do you remember the woman who slandered my innocence last time?"
"It's really her! Why is this woman haunting us? It's been more than half a year since we last met. Why is she here again?"
When Ye Li thought of this, her scalp felt tingling. It seemed that this woman was not only coming for Jiang Xun. Ye Li felt that this woman's target this time was her.
"Jiang Xun, I know who reported Qingshan Village this time. It must be her!"
With all the information gathered in his mind, Ye Li already had a clear outline.
"Yes, I think it was her. If the last time she targeted me for returning to the army was to help Xiao Meng, then what was her purpose this time?"
"I think she just can't bear to see us live a good life. She keeps attacking us and won't stop until she makes our lives a mess. By the way, Jiang Xun, why didn't you remind me to let her go?"
If Ye Li knew that the woman just now was Hao Ying, she would never let her leave Qingshan Village so easily and would have to find out her intentions.
"Because Qingshan Village has its own secrets, this woman can't stay here for too long, lest she discover more things. After all, there are many people in the village and they all have their own opinions, so we have to be careful."
Jiang Xun paused and then gave the second reason.
"One more thing. We pretended not to recognize her this time and let her go. She will definitely come back again. When she comes next time, I will send someone to follow her to see where she ends up. Then after following her for a few days, we will know what she is going to do!"
Jiang Xun's words made a lot of sense. Now Hao Ying was in the dark, and they were in the light. So in order to figure out this woman's evil intentions, they had to turn the passive into the active. They had to actively follow Hao Ying and wait for the right time to get rid of her!
"Great! You are worthy of being the commander of the reconnaissance company. I'll do as you say and find out more about her." Ye Li gave Jiang Xun a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.
"Are you sending me away with just a few words?" Jiang Xun said, then he put his arm around Ye Li's waist and pointed his finger at his mouth, signaling her to give him some substantial reward.
"It's broad daylight, it would be embarrassing if someone saw us." Ye Li turned around embarrassedly and looked around, then quickly pecked Jiang Xun on the mouth.
"Alright, let me go. I'm so embarrassed." Ye Li said, covering her face with her hands, looking shy.
"Li Li, what if I say it's not enough..."
As Jiang Xun spoke, his Adam's apple moved up and down. Ever since Ye Li became pregnant, he had not had any physical contact with Ye Li. The light kiss just now actually caused a reaction in him.
"It's not enough but we can't stay here... By the way, my dad is still waiting for us at my uncle's house, let's go back quickly!" Ye Li saw the flames dancing in Jiang Xun's eyes and quickly changed the subject. She didn't want to be kissed dizzy by Jiang Xun on the main road in the village.
Jiang Xun looked at Ye Li deeply, then let her go. He had to admit that since she became pregnant, he found that Ye Li had become more and more feminine.
"Let's go." Jiang Xun held Ye Li's hand tightly and took her back to his uncle's house.
As soon as they entered the room, Guan Fuan pulled Ye Li and Jiang Xun to the table and asked them to sit down and talk.
"Ye Li, Jiang Xun. This time we really rely on you. If it weren't for your foresight, our Qingshan Village would have been destroyed." Guan Fuan sighed.
"It's okay, uncle. We are not in any danger for the time being." Ye Li comforted.
"Xiao Li, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You have created such a big mess on your own. Your uncle and I also went to the brigade just now, and I was scared to death." Guan Shipeng's words revealed concern and a little reproach.
Guan Shipeng is a party member, and he knows the importance of national policies. At this time, it is not popular for individuals to produce and sell things on their own. Everything is planned economy and must be under the leadership of the party.
"Dad, I know what you are thinking, but since I have already done this, I can't stop now." Ye Li saw her father's worry, which is why she did not tell Guan Shipeng immediately.
"Well, I support Ye Li! Shi Peng, now Qingshan Village is counting on Ye Li to make a fortune. We can't stop now, our lives have just started to improve, we just need to be more careful." Guan Fuan also said quickly, for he was afraid that his second brother would stop Ye Li from doing this business again.
"I am afraid. If I am caught, I will go to jail. If the case is too serious, I may even be shot! You said I just found my daughter, I can't watch her take risks."
Guan Shipeng looked at Ye Li and Jiang Xun anxiously. He had to explain all the risks to them. After all, he was the elder and had experienced more than these two young people.
