Chapter 44 Xia Fanxing, stop acting!
She watched Xia Fanxing walk into the supply and marketing cooperative, and patiently waited outside for two minutes before stepping in herself.
Xia Fanxing is looking at fabrics in the fabric section.
But Qiao Feitian had already inquired about her situation and knew that she did not have a formal position in the Corps, so the Corps could not issue her receipts and she could not buy cloth.
Unless she uses military-issued cloth ration coupons!
Qiao Feitian was so excited that she couldn't help but tremble all over.
She learned about the fact that military receipts could not be given to ordinary employees from a historical document, but she wasn't entirely sure.
She has specifically asked around these past few days and confirmed that it is indeed the case.
If Xia Fanxing uses military receipts to buy things, she will be guilty of a crime, and no matter how she is sentenced in the future, she will have to be arrested and imprisoned first!
The thought of Xia Fanxing being thrown into jail and never being able to set foot in the military again made Qiao Feitian want to burst into laughter.
She said, what's the use of the white moonlight in the book?
She's a transmigrator; she's the chosen one!
Xia Fanxing, it's time for you to log off!
Qiao Feitian tried her best to suppress her restless heart.
She watched longingly as Xia Fanxing picked out a large pile of items. Just as she was about to wave to the sales clerk to issue a receipt, she finally couldn't resist and quickly grabbed Sister Wang, a sales clerk she knew well.
Qiao Feitian whispered in the sales clerk's ear, "Sister Wang, do you see that woman over there wearing a slightly worn navy blue cotton-padded jacket? She has military receipts, and she's about to use them to pay!"
Upon hearing that someone possessed military documents, Sister Wang immediately took it very seriously, as this was no small matter.
She found the person Qiao Feitian had mentioned in the crowd, immediately straightened her face, and shouted in a sharp voice, "Hey, you!"
Xia Fanxing looked at the others, then pointed to herself with a bewildered expression: "Me?"
Sister Wang said impatiently, "Yes, it's you! Come here right now! Someone reported you for illegally possessing military documents. Show them to me for inspection!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the supply and marketing cooperative looked over.
Illegally possessing military documents?
That's a very serious crime!
Upon hearing Sister Wang's words, Xia Fanxing's expression became visibly flustered.
She put all the things in her hands on the counter and turned to leave. "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do today, so I'll not buy them for now and will do it in a couple of days."
Seeing Xia Fanxing's guilty look, Sister Wang was certain that Xia Fanxing must have military documents in her possession.
Sister Wang immediately shouted, "Stop her! Don't let her get away!"
The employees near the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative quickly stood in front of her to block her way, preventing Xia Fanxing from having any chance to escape.
"Why are you stopping me? I really have something urgent to do!" Xia Fanxing stamped her foot anxiously and turned to look at Sister Wang.
"If you have nothing to hide, why are you running away?" Sister Wang walked up to Xia Fanxing and looked suspiciously at the pockets of her cotton-padded coat.
Sister Wang questioned, "What's that bulging stuff in your pockets?"
"A penny." Xia Fanxing clutched her pocket.
"Take it out and let me check it." Sister Wang reached out her hand.
Xia Fanxing shoved her hand away with her shoulder and said righteously, "What are you doing? Trying to rob me in broad daylight!"
Sister Wang got angry, put her hands on her hips and shouted, "I want to see if you have any military documents on you, I'm going to search you!"
Xia Fanxing said, "How could I possibly have military documents? I'm just an ordinary worker in the agricultural company! I haven't done anything wrong, so why are you searching me? Don't search me!"
"I want to search!"
"I'm not going to search for you!"
To avoid Sister Wang, Xia Fanxing wandered around the supply and marketing cooperative.
Sister Wang followed closely behind her, but she could never quite catch up.
Sister Wang stopped, panting, and yelled, "Hey!" She rolled up her sleeves and cursed, "You little brat, if you've got the guts, keep running! Once I catch you, you're finished!"
At this moment, Xia Fanxing seemed to be startled by Sister Wang's words and suddenly stumbled, bumping right into Qiao Feitian.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Feitian quickly pushed Xia Fanxing away, while checking other people's reactions.
After all, Xia Fanxing is now perceived by others as "illegally possessing military documents".
She had no desire to have anything to do with this kind of person.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Qiao, my legs were a little weak just now. I didn't mean to bump into you," Xia Fanxing said apologetically.
After standing a little further away from Xia Fanxing, Qiao Feitian said detachedly, "If you ask me, you should just stop running around and let the sales clerk check it. The more you run around, the more they'll think you're guilty—or are you really guilty?"
"I feel guilty?" Xia Fanxing looked at Qiao Feitian in disbelief.
Their expressions and eyes suggested a shocking, unspeakable secret between them.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qiao Feitian sensed something was off and distanced herself from Xia Fanxing again. "You're the one who got reported, not me!"
Xia Fanxing looked heartbroken and said with great distress, "How could you say such a thing?"
Qiao Feitian didn't understand why Xia Fanxing was suddenly going against her, and she had a bad feeling about it.
But that day, she personally followed Su Weiguo, and although she was standing far away, she still saw Su Weiguo stuff several military receipts into Xia Fanxing's pocket.
That's a certainty; Xia Fanxing does have military-issued documents!
Therefore, Qiao Feitian believes that Xia Fanxing's reason for arguing with her is simply to divert everyone's attention in this way.
As long as they start arguing or even fighting, no one will care whether Xia Fanxing actually has military documents.
Having reached this point, Qiao Feitian didn't want to waste any more time.
She simply grabbed Xia Fanxing and frantically waved at Sister Wang: "Come quick, I've caught her for you!"
Xia Fanxing thrashed about in Qiao Feitian's hands like a fish.
She didn't know when she started crying, but she kept hitting Qiao Feitian's arm while crying and talking non-stop.
"Qiao Feitian, you heartless person! I considered you my best friend and risked my life to keep such a huge secret for you. But what do you do? To clear your own name, you actually pushed an innocent person like me out! Fine, if you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Xia Fanxing suddenly raised her head and shouted loudly, "I'm not the one illegally possessing military documents, it's Qiao Feitian! If you're going to search, search her body. She carries them with her at all times so that no one will find out she has military documents!"
At this moment, Sister Wang had already walked up to Xia Fanxing.
She thanked Qiao Feitian obsequiously, but when facing Xia Fanxing, she put on a stern and cold expression.
"Alright, shut up! How dare you slander Comrade Qiao like that? Don't you know who he is!"
This time, Xia Fanxing made no move to resist, and her expression looked as if she had lost all hope.
She seemed deeply devastated.
Qiao Feitian just smiled dismissively.
Keep performing.
At this point, do you still think you can get away with acting skills?
Unfortunately, Sister Wang's hand has already reached into your pocket, and she's about to pull out the military receipts!
However, Sister Wang's hand twirled around in Xia Fanxing's pocket and pulled out a large handful of small bills and various internal receipts used by the military corps.
They have everything, except military invoices.
