Chapter 46 Her Hard Work Was Stolen
After returning to the clinic alone, Xu Nuo used the key to open the locked drawer, only to find that the comic book he had made was missing.
"How could that be?" She felt very strange.
She clearly put it there herself and locked it yesterday, and she hadn't opened the drawer all day today. How could it disappear?
Damn it!
Xu Nuo had never thought that something could be lost in a place like this. She found it unbelievable.
So, I recalled what happened yesterday.
Everything was normal at the time. No one noticed her drawing comics, and no one saw her lock things in the drawer.
However, last night it was Liao Hong who was on duty here alone until ten o'clock.
Could it be that she stole it?
It was normal for Xu Nuo to think like this. After all, she was the only one in this house who had a grudge against her.
This thing is locked and the key is here. How did she steal it?
Xu Nuo sat at the table thinking and studying, and finally his eyes fell on a few paper clips in a box on the desktop.
She picked up a paper clip, straightened the needle, and tried to poke it into the keyhole a few times.
She had not held out hope in the first place, but to her surprise, she suddenly heard a "click" and the lock popped open.
"This is even possible!!" Xu Nuo was stunned.
A small lock can be opened with a paper clip without a key, so can it be opened with something else?
Xu Nuo saw a broken U-shaped clip that had fallen from the corner of Liao Hong's desk. He bent down to pick it up and tried to unlock it again.
When she heard the familiar "click" sound, she was sure that the lock was a waste!
The person who stole the information must be Liao Hong.
After realizing this, Xu Nuo decided to ask for the comic book back herself. If Liao Hong was not satisfied with her, she could get angry and scold her, it didn't matter.
But she couldn't take it out on these things!
This was made by her to promote health knowledge to the children in the compound, to help them stay hygienic and prevent diseases.
If she even wanted to vent her anger by destroying this thing, then her thinking is really narrow-minded.
Xu Nuo held his waist and slowly walked to Liao Qing's house.
She went up and knocked on the door.
After a while, Bai Qiuning came over to open the door and saw Xu Nuo standing at her door: "Xu Nuo, what's wrong? Is it because Liao Qing didn't come back for dinner, and he was too embarrassed to come back and ask you to run errands?"
Xu Nuo was confused: "What do you mean?"
"Ah?" Seeing her confused, Bai Qiu Ning was also confused, "Isn't Liao Qing at your house? He came over after work and said he wanted to help fix the bed or something..."
Xu Nuo shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I haven't gone home yet. I came here directly after work."
"Oh. So you came directly after get off work. Hey? Why did you get off work so late? Where's Liao Hong? Why hasn't she come back yet? Didn't she just finish her shift last night?" Bai Qiu Ning had almost finished cooking.
As a result, neither the brother nor the sister returned home on time for dinner.
"Liao Hong didn't come back? I came here to find her. Didn't she come back?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Yes! She hasn't come back! What happened? What do you want to see her for? Did something happen?" Bai Qiuning asked hurriedly.
Xu Nuo saw that Bai Qiuning was also confused, and her expression didn't seem like she was lying: "It's okay, sister-in-law, since she hasn't come back, I won't wait for her. I'll go back first. Call me when she comes back. I have something to talk to her about."
Bai Qiu Ning readily agreed: "Okay, I'll keep it in mind."
Xu Nuo returned home and the house was bustling with activity.
Several officers in military uniforms were busy shuttling back and forth between the first and second floors of the house. When they saw Xu Nuo coming in in a red dress, they were all stunned and stopped what they were doing.
"Hey, Xiao Xu is back!" Liao Qing was sitting on the sofa and talking to Lu Chen. When he saw Xu Nuo coming in, he stood up and greeted him.
"Brother Liao is here."
"Yes, aren't we going to bring a few people to help Lu Chen clean up the house? Some of the furniture in this house are old and not very sturdy, so they are more likely to... collapse." Liao Qing said.
"Thank you, Brother Liao."
"You're welcome."
"Is this my sister-in-law?" Someone called out.
Liao Qing smiled and said, "Yes! Come on, come on, let's get to know each other. This is your Captain Lu's newlywed wife, your sister-in-law!"
"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Nuo! Thank you for coming to help today. Please stay for dinner tonight. I will treat you all."
Xu Nuo smiled, his eyes slightly curved, two dimples at the corners of his mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Wow! My sister-in-law is so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven!"
"The leader is so lucky!"
"No wonder the bed collapsed... hehe..."
Lu Chen frowned and took a look: "You are all so dishonest. Finish your work and leave quickly! Stop telling dirty jokes and embarrassing yourself here."
"Yes! Captain!"
Xu Nuo saw several people going to the kitchen to repair the wall, several people coming down from upstairs to clean up the pile of bed fragments, and several others probably checking the wiring and light sockets in the house, all wearing rubber gloves.
I didn't expect Lu Chen to be so family-oriented. He would solve any problem immediately without any delay.
Xu Nuo was very pleased about this.
"I'll go buy some vegetables and make you something delicious in the evening." With so many people coming to help, we can't skip meals.
"No need, I'll treat them later." Lu Chen said, and glanced at her waist, "How is it? Is your waist better?"
Xu Nuo rubbed it and said, "It's okay. It's not that uncomfortable anymore."
"That's good."
The ordinary conversation sounded different in Liao Qing's ears. The intensity of yesterday's conversation was quite intense. The bed collapsed and my waist was sore... Tsk tsk tsk...
A newlywed is a newlywed!
Young people’s physical strength is beyond reproach!
"Okay, there's nothing you can help with, so I'll leave first. Your sister-in-law will send Liao Hong to pick me up for dinner later." Liao Qing didn't want his sister to go to their house and cause trouble.
The young couple is living a good life now, and it's time for Liao Hong to focus on her life.
There’s no hope for Lu Chen. I’ll introduce her to someone else later.
"Liao Hong is not at home." Xu Nuo said.
"Not at home? Where else could she go? No, I have to go look for her! This girl is too wild..."
At this moment, Liao Hong had already taken a bus to the gate of the newspaper office in the city. Unfortunately, she arrived a little late and the office had already gone off work.
It's simple, she originally planned to take this thing away and let Xu Nuo destroy it.
However, she suddenly had a good idea, which was to sell it to a newspaper or publishing house, so that she could at least make some money.
When the time comes and it is published, Xu Nuo will just not see it. But if she does see it, it will be signed with someone else's name, which will piss her off to death.
Liao Hong also grew up in the countryside. After her parents died, she followed her brother and sister-in-law to join the army. In the past few years, she has studied for a few days under the arrangement of her brother.
At this time, she had no idea about copyright or author's right. She just wanted to sell the things Xu Nuo had worked so hard on to make, to show her that her work was in vain.
"Comrade, it's time to get off work today. If you want to submit an article, please come back tomorrow." Liao Hong was about to leave when she heard someone talking behind her. She turned around and saw a woman in her thirties talking to the gatekeeper at the gate of the newspaper office.
"Thank you, sir. What time does your newspaper office open?" the woman asked.
"Eight o'clock."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
The woman also failed to cast a pickaxe, so she went to the roadside to wait for the bus. She saw Liao Hong holding a folder in her hand, so she asked casually: "Are you here to submit an article as well?"
"You too?" Liao Hong asked her.
"Well, yes. Are you also a literature lover?" the woman asked Liao Hong.
Liao Hong shook her head: "I am a medical student. I want to sell this to a newspaper or a publishing house."
"Are you studying medicine too? What are you going to sell? Can you let me see it?" The woman seemed interested.
"Okay." Liao Hong gave the comic strip she had promised to make to the woman, "Here, take a look."
When the woman saw it, her eyes lit up immediately and she said, "Can you sell it to me? Please name a price. If I think it's suitable, I'll buy it."
