The sixth day of being eavesdropped
"You ask me?"
Liang Ying looked at Lin Lianhua and found it ridiculous.
"Yeah, aren't you the most popular person in our group?" Lin Lianhua said, "Give me some advice on this matter."
Xu Wen looked at Liang Ying, her eyes red.
Liang Ying was silent for a moment and said, "If you ask me, I think everyone in our group is good, and no one should be a thief. Besides, being a thief is illegal. If you are caught, you will lose your reputation and go to jail."
"Then we have to investigate this matter more carefully."
Lin Lianhua said, "Who knows if someone will be tempted by evil and do something dirty?"
"In my opinion, we should search everyone's cabinets to see if there is any."
Everyone looked at each other.
No one said a word.
"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry back?"
The team leader came in from outside, feeling that the atmosphere was not right, and asked.
"Team leader, you came at the right time. Xu Wen's TV ticket is missing, and we were just discussing whether to search the locker?"
Lin Lianhua spoke up, holding the team leader's hand, pointing at Xu Wen and saying, "Look how anxious Sister Xu is."
The team leader frowned, "Is it really lost?"
Xu Wen remained silent and nodded with tears in her eyes.
The team leader was silent for a moment, "Then why are you talking about searching the locker?"
Lin Lianhua said, "Team leader, this locker room is next to our workshop. If an outsider comes, we can see it at a glance. So, I wonder if it is one of our own..."
"If it is one of our own, we can't let it go easily. This rabbit doesn't eat grass near its nest. It can steal a colleague's ticket today and steal a colleague's money tomorrow."
The team leader felt more and more headache after hearing this.
If it was really one of our own who stole, it would be embarrassing.
"Team leader, search it if you want, I'm not afraid." Sister Zhao said in a low voice. She opened her locker, took out the things and shook them, "You saw it, didn't you?"
Others, either to keep things quiet or to avoid others thinking too much, also opened the lockers to check.
When everyone was searching the cabinet, only Liang Ying was indifferent.
Lin Lianhua looked at Liang Ying, "Liang Ying, why don't you search your own cabinet?"
"Why should I search? I know I didn't steal!"
Liang Ying's tone was not very polite.
Lin Lianhua smiled softly and said, "Liang Ying, if you didn't steal, you can let others help you search. Speaking of which, you are the most suspicious among us."
Everyone moved.
Xu Wen looked at Liang Ying with red eyes, "Liang Ying, do you hate me for taking your factory leader?"
"I didn't." Liang Ying interrupted Xu Wen, "I was a little unhappy before, but that's in the past."
Liang Ying was actually the most diligent and smartest person in their workshop. Originally, Liang Ying was the factory leader this year, but later the leader said that Liang Ying's background was not good, so the factory leader was given to Xu Wen. Although they
have been trying to make things right in the past few years, Liang Ying's family is still not ordinary, and her identity as the daughter of a capitalist cannot be changed.
"You say this, but who knows what you think in your heart."
Someone muttered in a low voice.
"Liang Ying, if you are innocent, then open it and let us have a look."
Lin Lianhua's voice was gentle, but her words were unpleasant to the ear. "Otherwise, everyone will complain."
"Yes, we have all searched, why are you the only exception?"
"She is so shy, didn't she really take it?"
Those who usually get along with Liang Ying were not easy to talk to at this time, but a few people who don't get along with Liang Ying were all gloomy at this moment.
Liang Ying's face was gloomy, "I can search, but if I can't find it, Lin Lianhua, shouldn't you apologize to me?"
"If we can't find it, we will apologize!"
Lin Lianhua said without thinking.
Liang Ying looked at the team leader, "Team leader, you heard it too, you can be a witness."
The team leader nodded.
Liang Ying walked to the cabinet and took out all the things. She shook a cotton jacket and took out the lunch box from the net bag. She opened it for everyone to see.
Everyone looked at it one by one.
Liang Ying sarcastically took out her pockets, "Look in my pockets too, is there anything? Is there anything?"
Lin Lianhua's expression changed, and she looked at Bai Xiaoyan in doubt.
Little did she know that Bai Xiaoyan was more shocked than her at this moment.
She clearly put the things in, how could they disappear?
"Okay, Comrade Liang is obviously innocent, you should apologize to her."
The team leader had a serious expression and looked after everyone.
The team leader actually did not agree with searching the cabinet. The TV ticket was lost, and he suspected his own people. It was actually very hurtful to let everyone search the cabinet.
But since everyone had just started to work, it was difficult for the team leader to stop them.
"Sorry, I'm sorry."
Everyone looked at each other and apologized awkwardly.
Xu Wen wiped her tears anxiously, "What should I do? The TV tickets are gone. My mother-in-law will definitely beat me to death when I go back."
TV tickets are hard to come by these days. Unless you are a leader, ordinary workers have to beg their grandparents to get them.
The team leader frowned, and Liang Ying said, "Xu Wen, don't cry so quickly. Aren't there two people's lockers that haven't been searched yet? We treated everyone equally just now. Lin Lianhua, Xiaoyan, don't be an exception."
Liang Ying smiled at Lin Lianhua and the others. Facing
her smile, Lin Lianhua's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, open your counter too!" Xu Wen finally responded and looked eagerly at Lin Lianhua and the others.
If it was just now, Lin Lianhua would not be afraid at all.
But now, the TV tickets that should have been in Liang Ying's counter were gone, and Liang Ying suddenly said so, Lin Lianhua had to be nervous.
"Lianhua, everyone has seen your cabinets, so show them to everyone."
The team leader said.
Everyone looked at Lin Lianhua, and Sister Zhao said, "Yes, you were the one who said you would let everyone see the cabinets at the beginning. Why are you so slow now?"
Lin Lianhua's palms were full of cold sweat.
She forced a smile and held the cabinet door with her hand, "There's nothing in my cabinet either."
"Why are you so nagging?" Sister Zhao became impatient and directly opened the door. Lin Lianhua's heart was in her throat, but she heard Sister Zhao say, "Oh, Lianhua, your cotton-padded jacket is too thin."
Lin Lianhua was stunned for a moment, and saw Sister Zhao shaking the patched cotton-padded jacket in her hands. Sister Zhao handed the cotton-padded jacket to Lin Lianhua with disgust, "Why is there no lunch box in your cabinet?"
"I, I'm not hungry."
Lin Lianhua naturally couldn't say that her mother-in-law only prepared two steamed buns for her, and there was no need to use an aluminum lunch box to put those two steamed buns.
Liang Ying knew what was going on, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she looked at Bai Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, yours is the only one missing ."
Bai Xiaoyan didn't think much about it and opened the cabinet. "What can be in my cabinet? You can see for yourselves."
The cabinet opened with a snap.
The locker room was silent for a moment.
In full view of everyone, a TV ticket was pressed under Bai Xiaoyan's lunch box.
"This is my ticket!"
Xu Wen rushed over, picked up the ticket and carefully checked it, "Yes, this is my ticket."
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Xiaoyan opened her mouth, and she seemed to have just reacted, waving her hands repeatedly: "It's not me, it's not me, how come this TV ticket is here with me? It should be..."
"Should be what?"
Liang Ying walked forward, her eyes were cold, but her heart was faintly aching, "Bai Xiaoyan, Lianhua just said that rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. You stole your colleague's ticket, you are simply heartless!"
Mentioning what she just said, Lin Lianhua's face was hot, blue and white.
"No, I, I..."
Bai Xiaoyan looked at Lin Lianhua anxiously, hoping that Lin Lianhua could help her.
But Lin Lianhua was busy with herself at the moment, how could she care about her, and hurriedly looked away.
"Team leader, we can't just let this go!"
Sister Zhao said in a rough voice, with veins on her neck bulging. "Lin Lianhua is right. If she can steal tickets today, she can steal money tomorrow. We have always been well-behaved in our workshop. We can't let this bad apple spoil the whole pot of porridge."
"Team leader, I didn't, I didn't, there is a misunderstanding in this matter!"
Bai Xiaoyan cried with snot and tears all over her face.
She looked very pitiful.
But Liang Ying had no sympathy for her.
Liang Ying knew that if the theft happened to someone else, everyone might let it go with a forgiving attitude.
But her background was not good, and her family had not been ordinary until now. If she was framed for theft, she would really have to go to jail.
Now they are beating her severely again. If things go wrong, she might even be made into a role model, and then her family will be completely ruined.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Wasn't the thing found in your cabinet?"
Sister Zhao said with a spit. "I finally understand why you were so eager to help Xu Wen just now. It seems that the thief is crying thief!" Bai Xiaoyan was
speechless.
She couldn't explain why the thing was there with her.
"If you think you are wronged, let's call the police."
Liang Ying held up her coat, "lest others say that the people in our workshop bullied you."
"Don't call the police!"
"Don't call the police!"
These two sentences rang out at the same time, the first sentence was said by the team leader, and the second sentence was said by Bai Xiaoyan.
Now, everyone looked at Bai Xiaoyan.
"You still say it wasn't you who did it!" Sister Zhao rolled her eyes and said "Pooh".
Bai Xiaoyan had no explanation.
She could only lower her head, eyes red, "Yes, I was confused for a moment, but I just wanted to make a joke, Xu Wen, don't bother with me, okay?"
Xu Wen didn't say anything, but shook off Bai Xiaoyan's hand.
Liang Ying said lightly: "Team leader, it's okay not to call the police, but this is not a trivial matter. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to be in the same workshop with the thief. Today everyone knows that she stole things, and she might take revenge tomorrow."
Her words hit the concerns of others.
Everyone looked at each other and spoke up.
"Team leader, we don't want to be colleagues with her!"
"Yes, our third workshop has always been good, and we can't have another dirty trick."
The team leader also thought so.
She looked at Bai Xiaoyan and Xu Wen, "Let's go to the Organization Department to find the leaders and let them deal with it!"
It was already dark.
Although the snow had stopped falling in the winter, the north wind was blowing into every household through the cracks.
Huang Xirong was chatting with others at the gate of the yard. As she was talking, she saw Liang Ying and her daughter-in-law coming from a distance. Her eyes lit up and she jumped up quickly: "Jinshui's daughter-in-law, why are you back so late? Is there something wrong?"
She asked this as if she knew something would happen to her.
Liang Ying suppressed her displeasure, pulled the corner of her lips, and got off the bicycle, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine."
"Really fine?"
Huang Xirong didn't believe it. She looked at Lin Lianhua, who shook her head quietly. Liang Ying saw it and laughed, "If you don't believe it, ask your daughter-in-law. She knows everything."
Lin Lianhua's face flushed with shame.
"But Lianhua, don't be careless next time. You don't have a pair of eyes for nothing." Liang Ying said unceremoniously, "I'm in a good mood today, so just apologize and it's over. If it were someone else, I might slap you."
She said as if she was going to slap him.
Lin Lianhua was startled, her feet stumbled, and she fell to the ground with the car.
Liang Ying burst out laughing and pushed the cart inside.
