Chapter 50 Guaguaguaguaguaguagua Who pinched me——
Siqing's wife pretended to be confused and didn't know what was wrong with her, which really scared the people present.
But Xiang Yao immediately smiled and said, "Aunt Siqing, it doesn't matter if you don't remember what happened to you, but you cheated everyone out of their money, so you have to return it!"
Aunt Siqing turned her head and asked, "What money? I don't know."
Someone immediately shouted, "What do you mean you don't know, Siqing's wife? How could you not know? You've taken so much money from us!"
When the others heard this, they immediately became anxious. How could they forget this?
Xiang Yao saw that Si Qing's wife was starting to act like a rogue, but her expression remained unchanged: "Aunt, whether you remember or not, the money in this pocket is not yours."
The Siqing wife still covered her pocket: "Who can say for sure? How can the things in my pocket not be mine?"
She looked at Xiang Yao suspiciously: "You little girl, are you trying to trick my family into giving you money?"
Xiang Yao was so angry that he wanted to laugh. This guy really had a strong belief in being an actor in broad daylight.
If she were in the future, she would definitely be a movie queen-level figure!
It’s a pity that this big stage is not specially built for her, the Siqing wife.
Didn't you see the way those mothers-in-law and the elders looked at Siqing's wife with eyes that seemed to want to kill her? If Siqing's wife continued like this, she would probably be eaten alive.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yao simply ignored Siqing's wife and didn't compete with her.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, with her hands on her knees, and just looked at Siqing's wife with a playful look, without saying a word.
Siqing's wife was stunned by her action. She had made up a lot of words to accuse Xiang Yao, but now that no one would touch her, she didn't even have the chance to say what she had prepared!
But as for whether she wanted to slip away like this, she looked around again quietly, feeling a little desperate.
These people gathered closer and started looking at her with unfriendly eyes, obviously no longer trusting her words.
It’s all over, and the only thing left in Siqing’s wife’s mind was that it was over.
However, the Siqing wife had a very good quality, that is, no matter how bad the conditions were, she would not give up, and always insisted on the principle of rolling up her sleeves and getting to work, and moving forward courageously.
Indeed, this excellent quality has helped her survive several crises in the past and has given her supreme self-confidence.
So this time, she chose to show her unyielding spirit and fight for a way out for herself.
So, while those old men and women were questioning her, Siqing's wife gathered her strength and slowly climbed up from her lying position.
When she finally saw what seemed to be a weak gap in the crowd, she suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the gap at lightning speed.
However, just as the old people were about to utter half a cry of surprise, Siqing's wife stumbled and fell.
She lunged forward and fell to the ground with her hands on the ground. She turned her head angrily and looked at Xiang Yao, her eyes full of hostility.
Xiang Yao loosened her trouser legs, clapped her hands, and gave a "you're done" smile.
She tilted her head and asked lightly, "Aunt Siqing, why are you running away?"
The others reacted at this moment——
"Yeah, why are you running away?"
"You haven't even returned our money yet, and you're trying to run away?"
"Four-Qing wife, this is not how you behave! You're really treating us like pigs!"
Now who would still believe that Siqing's wife was distracted? If she was so distracted, would she suddenly want to run away?
This is something only people with a guilty conscience would do!
If she wasn't guilty, if she had lied to them so clearly, why would she run away!
The old people now completely understood that this Siqing daughter-in-law was a liar.
A few of the more agile ones immediately rushed forward, grabbed Siqing's wife, and tried to take money out of her pocket.
Siqing's wife still refused, her face turning pale and blue, but she still held her pockets tightly with her hands to prevent these people from touching them.
Xiang Yao was actually afraid that these elderly people would fall down during the shoving and shoving. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he quickly shouted:
"Grandpas and grandmas, don't all rush over here! Once we've subdued her and got the money back, we'll refund you one by one!"
But everyone was anxious at this moment. When they saw someone trying to grab the money, they were afraid that they would not return it to them after getting it, so they all kept squeezing forward to get closer.
In particular, there were two old ladies on crutches, who took small, unsteady steps and joined in the fun.
Xiang Yao couldn't help but think to himself, if one or two people had really fallen, it would have been better to let Siqing's wife escape just now...
Losing the money is a small matter, but if the elderly fall down and lose their lives, that is a big deal!
No matter how loud her voice was, it couldn't suppress the loud criticism from more than ten or twenty people. She was so anxious that her throat was burning, but she still shouted in vain.
At this moment, a deep and loud sound, like the sound of a gong, resounded throughout the entire scene——
"What are you fussing about! What are you fussing about! Stop it!"
Xiang Yao's eyes lit up. Great, this is the voice of Captain Yang Youliang!
Finally, reinforcements arrived, otherwise she really couldn't bear this situation!
Fortunately, the old men and women listened to the captain's words very much. As soon as they heard the voice, those who were trying to squeeze forward stopped, and those who were searching the pockets of their relatives and wives stopped, and all stopped what they were doing.
"Youliang! Come quickly!" Someone immediately shouted to complain, "This Siqing woman cheated us out of our money and won't give it back!"
When Yang Youliang just arrived, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
As the team leader, he must take responsibility for the feudal superstition. If anything happens to these old people again, he will be finished.
Amidst the clamor of complaints, he quickly said, "Aunts and uncles, please step aside immediately. Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice!"
The crowd quickly made way, revealing the Four Cleansing wives struggling in the inner circle.
"Ah! Who pinched me! Who pinched me——"
Siqing's wife let out a wail, her face grimacing with pain.
Everyone around her looked up at the sky, and no one admitted that they were the one who did it.
But since the captain had already arrived, they all stepped back a little to show that they had done nothing.
Yang Youliang ignored Siqing's wife's wailing and shouted, "What on earth happened, Siqing's wife? Tell me clearly!"
Si Qing's wife hesitated and naturally did not dare to speak out what she had done. She only complained about other things:
"Captain, they just threw me to the ground and almost killed me! Look at how they've crushed my arm! It's all blue!"
Yang Youliang was so angry that he laughed. This Siqing wife was really smart. Not only did she not talk about serious matters, but she also learned to turn the tables.
He glanced at Xiang Yao, who was squeezed in among a few old people, and softened his tone: "Xiang Yao, you speak."
It was Xiang Yao who asked He Guoqiang to go to the brigade headquarters to inform them of this matter, otherwise he would still be kept in the dark.
It is said that educated people are more cultured. Look at these old people, all of them have been cheated. They gave away all the pension money in their pockets generously, and now they are not stingy at all!
Xiang Yao nodded, stood up, and recounted the whole story from beginning to end in a calm tone.
She had a clear voice and spoke in an orderly and impartial manner, explaining the whole story of the incident in one go.
The elderly people around them kept nodding: "Yes! That's right! That's it!"
Siqing's wife's face turned pale as paper. She tried to open her mouth to defend herself several times but never got a chance.
After listening to Xiang Yao's statement, Yang Youliang's eyes flashed coldly, his face gloomy, he looked at Siqing's wife and sneered:
"You're such a bold woman, you're such a daredevil! You dare to promote feudal superstition in the brigade and even cheat people out of money! You've had too much of a good life and want to go to a labor camp, right?"
Siqing's wife was now pale as a ghost, and she said tremblingly:
"Captain, I, I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know anything..."
"You still dare to quibble!" Yang Youliang interrupted her feigned ignorance and glared at her. "If you don't know anything, then who knows? Before you were caught, you were playing tricks. Now that you've been caught and exposed, you're innocent, right?"
Seeing that Siqing's wife wanted to say something, he raised his hand and said, "Stop talking and come with me to the brigade headquarters. I'm not done with you for what happened today!"
When Siqing's wife heard this, her body suddenly went limp.
She begged, "Captain, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Can you please not arrest me?"
She knew very well that if the captain had resolved the matter on the spot, she would be fine.
But now the team leader wants to go to the team headquarters to deal with it, which means that it must be taken seriously. She is engaging in feudal superstition and cheating money, which is a big mistake and she must be criticized!
Yang Youliang snorted coldly: "You know you're wrong now? I tell you, it's too late!"
He ordered several strong young men who came with him to carry the limp Siqing wife and go to the brigade headquarters first.
After Siqing's wife was carried away crying and wailing, Yang Youliang looked around and set his eyes on Xiang Yao, saying:
"Xiang Yao, since you're reading this, please help me keep a record of how much money each of these elderly people has been defrauded of."
It is not a good idea to let these elderly people stagger to the brigade headquarters. It would be bad if someone fell on the way.
But he was still busy going to the brigade headquarters to interrogate the Four Cleanups wives. After thinking about it, he thought it would be a good idea to give this job to Xiang Yao.
Xiang Yao knew that this was because the captain trusted her, so she nodded quickly and responded with a smile:
"Don't worry, Captain. I'll send the actual number details to the brigade headquarters in a moment!"
Yang Youliang nodded. Seeing these old people surrounding Xiang Yao and asking her to record the amount of money she was cheated of, his anger rose a little.
He would definitely discuss this with Secretary Huang and hold a meeting for all the people in the brigade, with the main focus being on opposing feudal superstition!
It has been promoted for so many years, but these old men and women still don’t remember anything!
What's more, there are people like the Four Cleanups' wives who have the audacity to start playing tricks again, which is really causing trouble for the team!
I believe that after today's lesson, this kind of situation will not happen again in Shitang Brigade in the short term.
Yang Youliang left, and Xiang Yao shouted loudly:
"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry. Wait for me to get a notebook and pen, and then I'll record it for you!"
She doesn't have any special skills, and without a notebook and pen, it would be difficult for her to remember the amount of money so many people have been cheated of!
An old lady whose house was nearest shouted:
"I have some at home. My son Maodan has a notebook and a pen! I'll get them for you right away!"
Xiang Yao nodded, and simply led everyone to follow the old lady and walk towards their home!
After borrowing a notebook and a pen, I also have to borrow a table!
