"Well, look, she didn't come!"

At the wedding banquet, several new educated youth were sitting at a table. The meal was almost about to start, but Liu Chunxing was still nowhere to be seen. Li Mengxue huddled together with Qian Lailai and Yi Qingqing and whispered.

In order to create an opportunity for someone today, several of them came to the wedding early to join in the fun.

"With a few cents as a gift, she can get a free meal. Why wouldn't she come?" Yi Qingqing said.

"Look, it's really coming!" Qian Lailai exclaimed in a low voice.

Liu Chunxing moved to the table of the old educated youth and sat next to Tang Lan and Zhou Yanhong. She also glanced at Yi Qingqing and the others, nodded and smiled at them.

Li Mengxue clenched her fists. "How dare you smile at us? You filthy thief!"

"Let's see if she can still laugh later!" Qian Lailai said angrily.

Yi Qingqing patted them one by one and said, "Calm down, calm down, eat the food first."

"That's right, we have invested money and cannot lose money!" Qian Lailai nodded.

In addition to the educated youth, there were also a few fellow villagers at the table. They picked up the dishes very quickly. As soon as the first dish was served, most of it was gone in a short time.

Wang Lingling munched on her steamed buns in silence and looked at the three of them several times. What happened between them and Liu Chunxing?

In this era, there was actually nothing delicious at banquets. Eighty percent of the food on the table was a mix of various vegetables stir-fried together, with little oil, which made the taste even worse.

There were only two meat dishes on each table, one was loofah and egg soup, and the other was pork, potato and cabbage stew. They were just enough to keep up appearances. The host of this restaurant was quite generous, and each person could get two coarse flour steamed buns, which was enough to fill them up.

But it’s not to say that every family really didn’t have any meat. It’s just that there were too many people. In such an occasion, it would be good if every guest who came to give gifts did not go back with an empty stomach.

Yi Qingqing could hardly eat. Her appetite had been spoiled during this period. She barely finished a steamed bun with some water and put down her chopsticks.

Li Mengxue found it even harder to swallow than she did, so she gave him half of it to pay for it.

After the banquet, several people ran back to the educated youth site.

As soon as she reached the door, Yi Qingqing stopped. The angle of her door lock seemed to be different from when she went out.

Yun Guyuan also noticed this and stepped forward to check the lock. "Someone has pried it open."

I didn't expect that I actually won the prize.

"Mine seems to have been touched too," Qian Lailai pulled the padlock excitedly, "It's a little loose!"

Then Li Mengxue also said with surprise: "There are some new signs of wear and tear. Mine must have been pried open as well."

Yi Qingqing shook her head helplessly. Are these two people stupid? Are they so happy that they are visited by thieves?

Later, Zheng Xiaolong and Chen Zhihe also confirmed that their door locks had been tampered with.

Yun Guyuan didn't escape either.

Everyone went into the house to check their own things.

Yi Qingqing went to look at the rice bag first. Although the rice inside was almost the same as before, she pinched a small handful from the surface and found that half of it had no holes.

Judging from the way she laid the rice out before, the surface should be covered with pinholes.

"It's done!"

I looked at the suitcase and bed again. The bed had not been touched, but a hair that had been placed on the suitcase had fallen off. Someone must have opened it.

Yi Qingqing opened it and checked. Nothing was missing. The snacks and candies were all unopened. It would be too obvious if they were moved. So they were still there intact.

There is nothing wrong with the backyard either.

Very good, at most Liu Chunxing scooped away a small bowl of rice from her.

Not long after, the others also came out after the examination.

Qian Lailai: "I weighed the grain bag and it has become lighter!"

Chen Zhihe: "Mine too!"

Zheng Xiaolong: "I lost one yuan, and my rice bag became lighter."

Li Mengxue: "The money I marked is missing another 1.5 yuan! I didn't pay attention to the rice, so it must be missing too. This time I will definitely make her suffer a big loss!"

Yun Guyuan: "My books have been moved, but nothing else seems to be missing."

"Huh?" The others looked at him.

"Are you sure?" Li Mengxue asked in surprise.

Yun Guyuan nodded.

"I didn't realize Liu Chunxing would treat people differently!" There was an awkwardness in Yi Qingqing's tone that she herself didn't even notice.

Li Mengxue smelled sour air and coughed lightly, "Anyway, we have enough evidence now, we can definitely catch her!"

At this point, they no longer hid anything and several of them brought small stools and sat in the back alley of Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan's house, waiting for their master to come back.

The boys were better off, they knew the rules of supporting roles very well and were willing to serve as foils for the girls.

Because several girls are staring at the back alley, rubbing their hands and eager to give it a try, if you try to fight with them, you will probably get hit in the face first.

"I will be the main force later, and you two will provide support." Li Mengxue has already gone over in her mind how to scold others several times. She is so looking forward to it!

"Why you?" Qian Lailai said unwillingly, holding her evidence padlock in her hand.

"I lost two dollars and fifty cents, my food was stolen twice, and my biscuits were eaten. What's even worse is that the biscuit crumbs fell on my kang. I suffered the greatest loss, so it is most appropriate for me to lead the charge!" Li Mengxue counted her losses. She was the biggest victim.

Don't think she doesn't know that Qian Lailai and Yi Qingqing are two misers. They don't want Liu Chunxing to get the money cheaply, so they hid it in advance. Otherwise, why would they only focus on her and Zheng Xiaolong to steal?

Qian Lailai fell silent.

No way, no way. She just lost a little bit of food and it seems like she really shouldn’t steal the spotlight!

Yi Qingqing was relatively calm. She had quarreled with others two or three times since she came to the countryside. As a well-behaved and polite girl, she couldn't always fight with others as it would be easy to be exposed. It was just right for her to follow behind and finish off the enemy this time.

And Li Mengxue was in a very good mood.

As the heroine in the original book who often quarreled with others and slapped others in the face, her life since going to the countryside has been too peaceful and she has never had a serious quarrel.

All of this stems from the fact that Yi Qingqing had felt a little bit of pity for Wang Lingling, who had lost her money, and pulled her back from the path of being a top-notch female supporting role who had been arguing with the heroine and being used as a gun by Liu Chunxing.

Without her causing trouble, Li Mengxue's life became much more peaceful. Now, she was so free that she was competing for the position of the main quarreler.

What a sin!

Yi Qingqing silently chanted Amitabha in her heart, hoping that the Buddha would forgive her, which made the heroine very upset.

"Xiaolong, go and help report the case first. You are not needed here. Let's send her directly to jail this time!" Li Mengxue said to Zheng Xiaolong.

Zheng Xiaolong couldn't refuse. "I can go alone. Let them take care of you here."

He turned to Chen Zhihe and Yun Guyuan and said, "Protect them!"

Chen Zhihe patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother!"

Yun Guyuan also nodded.
