Chapter 571 The Crisis of the Masters (I)
The second sister came back to her senses after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, and then she said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "I just saw the captain and his men holding down four old men. I was wondering if those four old men were the ones who stole the food."
Lu Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling after hearing what her second sister said. She hoped it was not what she thought.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Your face suddenly turned so ugly."
"Nothing, I just thought of some unhappy things." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing what her second sister said.
"Since it's something unhappy, don't think about it, so as not to affect your mood."
"Um."
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to announce." The captain stood on the platform and shouted to everyone in the threshing ground.
After hearing the captain's words, everyone in the threshing ground stopped talking and looked at him.
The captain saw that everyone in the audience had stopped talking, so he said, "I received a report this morning that someone had stolen our team's reserve food, so I led people there to search.
Although I did not find the five bags of food that were lost, I did find two small stoves, four quilts, and four mattresses. I want to know who sent them these."
When everyone heard the captain's words, they were immediately furious. They had never thought that those four people actually lived a more comfortable life than them, so they all shouted to the captain: "Confiscate... Confiscate..."
Lu Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned dark after hearing the captain's words. When she heard everyone shouting to confiscate, she clenched her fists tightly and managed to resist the urge to attack the group of people.
"Everyone be quiet. Anyone who makes any more noise will have their work points deducted." The captain shouted loudly after hearing the booing of the crowd below the stage.
When the people in the audience heard that the captain was going to deduct work points, they immediately shut up. Although they were very dissatisfied that those people lived more comfortably than them, if they had to choose between work points and making trouble, they would naturally choose work points.
The captain finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone in the audience had quieted down. Then he shouted to the audience, "No one has come forward to admit that he was the one who gave the things?"
One minute passed... two minutes passed... three minutes passed... four minutes passed... five minutes passed...
The captain waited for five minutes but no one came forward to admit that he was the one who sent the things, so he said, "Since no one has admitted that he was the one who sent those things, I can only blame those people for where they came from."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the captain's words, she was about to walk towards the stage, but she was stopped by her second sister as soon as she took a step forward.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?" The second sister immediately grabbed Lu Xiaoxiao and asked after seeing her actions.
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said, "I gave those things to them, so I have to go up now."
The second sister widened her eyes in fear after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. She didn't expect Lu Xiaoxiao to be so bold. She clearly knew that those people were sent here by the factory to work, but she still dared to send things to them. Isn't this courting death?
"Xiaoxiao, don't get excited. First see what the captain is going to do next, and then decide whether to go up and admit that it was you who gave the gift." The second sister said, holding Lu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly.
