Chapter 16: The Pension Is Gone]

Xiangyang Village has a relatively large area, and most of the houses are built towards the main road at the entrance of the village. There are fewer houses near the mountain at the end of the village.

When Ye Qingyue was a child, she heard people say that it was because there were big insects, that is, tigers, on the mountain, which had come down the mountain to eat people, so the villagers of Xiangyang Village did not like to build houses at the end of the village.

Therefore, there are only a few scattered families near Granny Zhong's house.

However, Ye Zhenghua's shout was so heartbreaking that half of the village could hear it. Many families hurriedly got up and lit oil lamps to see what was going on .

Ye Xianghong, who was sleeping soundly, woke up all of a sudden. She quickly grabbed a kitchen knife and ran to the door.

Seeing Ye Qingyue at the door, she became anxious, worried that the man who had just screamed had done something to the young lady.

"Stop!"

Ye Xianghong ran out and saw the blurry limping figure in the distance.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up, Ye Xianghong simply threw the kitchen knife in her hand.

The knife was thrown quickly, accurately and fiercely, and Ye Qingyue didn't have time to block it.

"Keng!"

The kitchen knife rubbed the opponent's waist and half of it was stuck in the soil.

Immediately afterwards, the fleeing figure...

his pants fell off!

Although the knife didn't hurt him, it directly tore his clothes and belt.

"Ouch!"

The half-fallen pants pulled his legs, and Ye Zhenghua fell flat on his face.

Ye Qingyue was stunned. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she almost applauded Ye Xianghong and exclaimed: "Lady, you have a good knife skill!" When

Ye Xianghong saw that the person fell, she was about to chase after him, but was grabbed by Ye Qingyue.

"Mom, let him go." Ye Qingyue said.

Ye Xianghong was confused: "Why?"

Ye Qingyue did not answer immediately, but instead, she was so angry that she shouted: "There is a thief - catch the thief!!!"

Ye Xianghong: "???" Didn't you let him go? Why did you let someone catch him again?

She didn't understand the lady's intention, but she said what she meant, so she didn't say anything else.

Hearing Ye Qingyue's shouting, Ye Zhenghua became even more anxious. He climbed up from the ground with one hand covering his mouth that was still dripping with blood, and holding up his pants with the other hand, he limped away.

When the nearby villagers ran out, Ye Zhenghua was nowhere to be seen.

"Sister, why don't you chase him? Isn't it better to catch him in the act?"

Ye Feng walked out of the house and asked in confusion: "Is it because he is your second uncle that you are considering his family's feelings?"

Although Ye Zhenghua's screams were almost distorted, Ye Feng still heard that it was his second uncle.

"They don't even treat us as relatives, why should I consider their feelings? I let him go on purpose."

Ye Qingyue smiled cunningly: "Ah Feng, when someone asks if my family has lost anything, you can say that the money from the division of the family was stolen." Ye Feng's

eyes widened at first when he heard this, and then he understood what Ye Qingyue meant.

No wonder his sister wanted to let Ye Zhenghua go.

If they caught him in the act, everyone would search Ye Zhenghua's body and know that he didn't steal anything.

But if Ye Zhenghua was let go...

what he lost, isn't it up to him to say it casually?

Ye Xianghong looked at the young lady and her son who exchanged glances and laughed sinisterly, and her eyes were blank.

This, is her baby?

...

The discipline in Xiangyang Village is pretty good. Although there are a few hooligans who do not work properly, they usually just wander around and dare not steal in the village.

The appearance of a thief is a big deal.

Soon, many people gathered in the yard of Ye Qingyue's house, and some of them were familiar faces.

"Qingyue girl, a thief came to your house?"

Qian Yun, the director of the women's department, came with the team leader.

Ye Qingyue nodded and showed them the door bolt with marks scratched by the iron sheet, and the bloodstains left by Ye Zhenghua when he fell to the ground.

The team leader suddenly became serious: "Investigate! We must investigate! Our Xiangyang Village was rated as an advanced village last year. We can't lose it this year just because of a thief."

"Qingyue girl, did you lose anything?"

At this time, a concerned voice sounded outside the crowd.

"Village chief!"

The crowd parted, and a little old man in his fifties wearing a white vest came over. He greeted the villagers with a friendly smile.

When Ye Qingyue saw him, her eyes flashed.

This man is the village chief of Xiangyang Village, named Zheng Xia.

The name sounds upright and awe-inspiring, and he is usually very smooth in dealing with people. He is quite famous in the village.

There are two big surnames in Xiangyang Village, one is Zheng and the other is Wang.

If the Wang family had not been prestigious, they would have been a big family in Xiangyang Village. With Zheng Xia's reputation, he could not only be the village chief, but also the captain.

Ye Qingyue knew that Zheng Xia, who looked like a good guy, was a different person behind the scenes.

Last year, when the reform and opening up began, a family in the village had an idea to set up a small family workshop and sell food in the county and the market.

Now, only half a year has passed, and the family has built a green brick and tile house and bought a storefront in the county.

Zheng Xia helped him with the procedures for opening the workshop.

In order to thank Zheng Xia, the family gave Zheng Xia many gifts.

They looked very harmonious and friendly.

But the family didn't know that in half a year, Zheng Xia would design to close down the small workshop because of his covetousness of their profit and put the family in prison.

Soon, the Zheng family opened a factory to make side dishes, snatched away the customers of the small workshop, and made a fortune!

Many years later, Ye Qingyue returned home in glory. When he found antiques in Granny Zhong's house, Zheng Xia wanted to take advantage of his status as a local boss to snatch the box of antiques and make a dream of getting rich overnight.

But he hit a wall.

At that time, Ye Qingyue was already a key protected person in China.

Not to mention the village chief of Xiangyang Village, even the big shots in Jiangcheng had to greet Ye Qingyue with a smile when they met him. As

soon as Zheng Xia intercepted the antique, a team of policemen from the city was dispatched to abduct him directly.

The Zheng family in Xiangyang Village cried and begged for mercy, but they failed to keep him.

His daughter Zheng Yanyan looked at Ye Qingyue with hatred, cursed Ye Qingyue loudly, and blurted out that Ye Feng was pushed down and fell stupid by her, so she was also abducted.

The authorities handled this matter seriously and finally sentenced her to a heavy sentence. Zheng Yanyan had to spend the rest of her life in prison.

Coincidentally, the prisoner in the same cell with Zheng Yanyan had received Ye Qingyue's kindness.

After hearing the reason why Zheng Yanyan was in prison, the prisoner beat Zheng Yanyan half to death.

Zheng Yanyan was sent to the hospital for treatment, but the surgeon's skills were not good and she became severely disabled.

Some reporters with gossip said that the doctor was a junior brought by Ye Qingyue and she made the mistake on purpose.

But things without evidence will naturally end up in nothing.

Soon, Zheng Yanyan's tragic ending was replaced by other entertainment gossip and was gradually forgotten.

Retracting her thoughts, Ye Qingyue looked at the little old man in front of her who was smiling at her. She couldn't connect him with the "bandit" who got red-eyed when he saw the antiques and brought a team of people to rob them.

After all, bad people don't write badness on their faces.

"Village chief, my family..."

Ye Qingyue was about to speak when Ye Feng's choked voice sounded behind her.

"Sister, what should I do? Dad's pension is gone!"

Ye Feng came out of the house with red eyes, "Where's the three hundred yuan!"

Three hundred yuan? !

There was a commotion outside the house.
