Chapter 51: Move Out
"What help?" Among the group of children, a little boy who looked a little older stood up, stood in front, and looked at Xu Xiaoyue vigilantly.
He held the candy in his hand, but he did not tear it open impatiently like others. Instead, he held it carefully in his palm and was reluctant to eat it.
Xu Xiaoyue understood that this must be the king among the children.
Being stared at by the leader of the kids with wide eyes always made her feel like she was leading the kids astray.
"Don't be so fierce, it's just a small favor."
Xu Xiaoyue leaned over and explained it to the group of children in the simplest language.
"Just two sentences, remember? After you finish speaking, all the candies are yours."
Several children had been so bewildered by the sugar-coated bullets that they couldn't tell east from west. When they heard that this beautiful sister only needed their help to say a few words to get the gift, they immediately scrambled to stand up.
"I, I can say!"
"I have a loud voice, I want to speak!"
"I, I have a good memory. I still remember when Little Stool wet his pants when he was three years old."
Several children chattered, and Xu Xiaoyue's depressed mood was swept away. She gave several to everyone, "Here, you all have one."
The early autumn sun was so bright that it was blindingly bright. Zheng Jiaojiao had just stepped into the yard when she noticed a few young wives who were enjoying the cool under a big tree. When they saw her coming, they pointed at her in surprise.
Her eyelids twitched and she walked over. "What are the sisters talking about? It's really lively."
As soon as she finished speaking, the people who had been talking excitedly looked at each other and stepped back, wishing they could stay as far away from her as possible.
"Nothing, just chatting."
The young wives just laughed it off and left without waiting for Zheng Jiaojiao to ask any more questions.
Zheng Jiaojiao pinched her palms, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she felt anxious that something was going to go wrong.
Something is wrong. Why are these people hiding from me for no reason?
"Hey, isn't this Miss Zheng from our yard? I thought you wouldn't be coming back today." Hu Hongyan stood at the door and deliberately joked at the top of her voice.
"Aunt Hu, what you said is nonsensical. Why can't I come back?" Zheng Jiaojiao felt angry and looked at Hu Hongyan coldly.
Hu Hongyan didn't get away with it at the Yan family last time, and now she has finally managed to grab Zheng Jiaojiao's braids, so she has to say a few words.
"Why are you pretending? Everyone knows that you were working in a supermarket, and you and a few colleagues stole other people's public property. You were caught red-handed and went to the police station."
The woman's voice was already very loud when she spoke normally, and now that she was shouting deliberately, her voice was heard by everyone in the hospital.
Zheng Jiaojiao's heart, which was hanging in the air, suddenly skipped a beat and her expression changed again and again.
How did Hu Hongyan know it in just half a day?
She felt uneasy, her eyes dodged, and she pretended to be calm and said stubbornly, "Aunt Hu, I call you aunt out of respect, but you should change your ability to talk nonsense."
Hu Hongyan walked down the stairs and waved her hands, "Pah, pah, pah, what a bad luck! The families of the other people have come to visit us. Could it be that they have eaten too much and have nothing to do so they came to visit us?"
Who came to the door? Zheng Jiaojiao's heart was hanging in the air. Her throat was dry and her eyes flickered as she looked at the woman, "Who came to the door?"
Hu Hongyan glanced at the gate of Yan's house and said gloatingly, "Well, you'll know who it is if you go and take a look."
There was such a big commotion outside. Liu Ye opened the door. The moment she saw Zheng Jiaojiao, her face looked very ugly. "It's just a guest at home."
Zheng Jiaojiao was very sensitive and noticed that Liu Ye frowned. Her hands trembled and a little cold sweat appeared on her back.
She told herself not to panic and calmed down her facial expression before she walked to the door of Yan's house. Through the gap in the door, she vaguely saw a person kneeling on the ground.
"Aunt, what is going on?" Zheng Jiaojiao pursed her lips, turned her head and looked at Liu Ye innocently.
The old woman kneeling on the ground had a dark complexion. She raised her head with drooping eyelids to glance at Zheng Jiaojiao, and then burst into hoarse tears.
"Gao Yuan is innocent. She has been a good kid since she was young. How could she steal public property? She said at the police station that you were the one who ordered all this."
"Comrade Zheng Jiaojiao, I'm begging you, please get her out."
Hearing Gao Yuan's name, Zheng Jiaojiao's pupils shrank and she smiled, "I don't understand what you are talking about. Gao Yuan and I are not even close, so how could I possibly instruct her to steal something?"
Liu Ye pressed the throbbing veins on her forehead, her face full of fatigue: "Xiaoyue told me everything, and I also went to find out about it from Manager Yan."
She looked at Zheng Jiaojiao and said, "Tell me honestly, does Gao Yuan's incident have anything to do with you?"
Zheng Jiaojiao shook her head, tears streaming down her face, as if she had been bullied. She said vaguely, "Aunt, I went to the police station, but Xu Xiaoyue went there too."
"It was just because the supermarket missed something during inventory, so they took us over to question us. But how would I know that the thieves were Gao Yuan and Liu Honghong? It could also be that the amount involved was too large, so she wanted to find someone to get involved."
She cried as she spoke, tears falling as if they could never stop.
Seeing her like this, Liu Ye shook her head with disappointment. She had lived to this age and knew everything about people and things.
Zheng Jiaojiao concealed some things. She had already gone to the police station to inquire. Usually, Zheng Jiaojiao, Liu Honghong and Gao Yuan were the three who played the best together.
Now the other two have gone in, both shouting that Zheng Jiaojiao had cheated them.
It was obvious that she was not as innocent as she said.
The old woman kneeling on the ground saw that Zheng Jiaojiao was refusing to admit it, so she bent down and kowtowed to the ground again and again, "Little comrade, just consider it as me begging you, please help our Gao Yuan tell the police that she didn't steal anything."
The old man's idea was very simple. Something was lost in the supermarket, and Gao Yuan said she didn't steal it. Maybe this female comrade took advantage of her family background and threatened Gao Yuan to steal the thing for her.
They are just ordinary people and have no right to say these things to the police. The only thing they can do is to beg the Yan family to let them go.
Zheng Jiaojiao couldn't cry anymore. Her face turned pale and she cursed Gao Yuan over and over again in her heart.
It was she who wanted to steal in the first place, and now that she's been caught, she's throwing the dirty water on herself.
But she couldn't take the blame no matter what.
"Aunt, I didn't steal, and I didn't know anything about Gao Yuan and the others." Zheng Jiaojiao said as she also knelt on the ground.
It was a mess. Liu Ye was glad that she had gotten Yan Shuli out of the way. She looked at Zheng Jiaojiao and closed her eyes, as if she had made an important decision.
"Old man, you get up first. I can compensate you for part of the money your daughter owes for the things she stole. Once the money is enough, she will be able to come out naturally."
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Zheng Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, Old Yan has a small courtyard in the alley of Lianda Street in the east, which can also be used as a residence."
"During this period of time, you can live there first. I will give you eight dollars a month as living expenses."
After she finished speaking, Zheng Jiaojiao looked at the woman in disbelief.
