Because Li Chunyan and Lin Lei were so ostentatious about their shopping sprees, they were soon found by the people Jiang Shushu had paid to send.
Jiang Shushu waited for a few days and finally received news that Li Chunyan and the other two were at No. 4 Ping'an Street, Ping'an Town.
Jiang Shushu immediately asked for leave on the grounds that his parents were old and he was going to his aunt's house to attend a wedding on their behalf, and went to Ping'an Town alone.
Jiang Shushu did not inform Yang Xiaobei. She wanted to nip the malice in the bud and not tell Yang Xiaobei. First, she did not want Yang Xiaobei to see her cruel side. Second, it was inconvenient to bring Yang Xiaobei with her, as it would be a hindrance to her doing many things.
Shortly after Jiang Shushu arrived in Ping'an Town, he saw the director of the Revolutionary Committee leading men to search a house. A middle-aged couple was being held down and beaten, their hair shaved into a yin-yang style. This attracted a large crowd of onlookers, many of whom spat at the couple, calling them the "five black categories" and the scum of society...
Although Jiang Shushu felt sorry for it, she did not step forward to meddle in other people's business. Besides, this was not something she could intervene in just because she wanted to. Jiang Shushu just watched intently and listened carefully.
The couple, both talented teachers, came from a family of scholars. However, they were reported by a student who had previously received substantial financial support. This student, a recent high school graduate and struggling to make ends meet, felt that the couple's previous financial support was an insult. Fearing repercussions, their son, along with his entire family, immediately severed ties with the couple and, in turn, reported them, handing over their entire collection of books and most of their treasured possessions to ensure their own safety.
Jiang Shushu: "..." So indignant, so gloating, how could they be so cruel? I thought the couple had committed some heinous crime. They are just two good teachers. The farmer and the snake, not every poor person deserves help.
Ping'an Town is such a mess. The people here are so angry. Even though it's none of their business, most people get so worked up. Q City is still better. I didn't think so before, but after walking around today, I realize how good it is. The mayor focuses on practical matters and doesn't like to get involved in this kind of mess. Even if they raid someone's house, 95% of the time they're found guilty.
"Grandpa, Grandma..."
When Jiang Shushu heard the voice, he turned around and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy standing next to him with tears and anger on his face.
Suddenly the boy became even angrier, the veins on his forehead bulging. "You beast, Second Uncle is such a beast, how dare he kick Grandpa and Grandma? Grandpa and Grandma are usually so nice to him."
Jiang Shushu turned around and saw a young man kicking the couple, cursing at them as he did so.
Jiang Shushu: "..." He's a real beast! No, worse than a beast. To protect himself, he not only reported it, but he even hit me. He's not afraid of being struck by lightning.
Seeing the young man about to rush out and fight, Jiang Shushu's hands were quicker than his brain. He grabbed the young man and held him down, whispering, "Behave yourself. What's the point of rushing out now? Can you save them? Only when you are free and well can you help them. If you go out now, you will either be beaten or arrested."
The young man held it back so hard that there was blood at the corner of his mouth, which showed how hard it was for him to hold it back.
"Thank you." The boy said and ran away.
Jiang Shushu looked at the boy running away and turned back: I hope he is well.
The old couple was taken away. After the crowd dispersed, Jiang Shushu saw the couple's son and threw a small stone at his feet. The man suddenly knelt down heavily, kneeling in the direction the old couple had left.
Passerby A whispered: "He is just pretending. The old couple usually love him so much, but he actually reported his parents and beat them. He is worse than an animal. He will get his retribution sooner or later." If Bai Lao Da had not died early, Bai Lao Er would not dare to treat his parents like this. Good people really don't live long. Alas, the King of Hell does not accept animals, but only good people.
Bai Laoer looked at the indifferent faces of the passersby and thought about what he had just done. He didn't dare to make a fuss. He could only slowly get up and limp home.
Jiang Shushu contacted the contact person, confirmed the location of Li Chunyan and the other two people, paid the remaining money, and sent the person away.
Jiang Shushu took over that person's position, staring quietly at the door of Li Chunyan's house, quietly waiting for dark, wanting to wait until late at night and quietly enter Li Chunyan's house.
During the waiting period, Jiang Shushu heard passers-by say several times that the people from the Revolutionary Committee were doing something immoral again.
Jiang Shushu waited and waited, and as soon as it got dark, Li Chunyan pulled Lin Lei out, with a sack in his hand.
Jiang Shushu: “…” He’s still going out so late, so late at night, and carrying a sack. He’s definitely not doing anything good.
Jiang Shushu quietly followed the two people, and when he saw them stop, he quickly found a secluded place to hide.
A middle-aged man carrying a large box with difficulty walked towards Li Chunyan and the others, and the uncle put the box on the ground.
When the uncle stood up and raised his head, Jiang Shushu recognized him immediately. The middle-aged man was the director of the Revolutionary Committee whom he had met once during the day.
Li Chunyan found a backer so quickly?
"Niece, here, this is all my wealth." The director of the Revolutionary Committee was very respectful and even bowed his head.
Li Chunyan waved her hands impatiently: "Okay, I got it, you can go now."
"Okay, niece, take your time to spend the money. Come to me again if you don't have enough." Then he bent down again, turned around and left.
Although Jiang Shushu couldn't hear what they were saying, he could easily tell from the Revolutionary Committee Director's body language that he was trying to please Li Chunyan, and could even be said to be very respectful, while Li Chunyan was very impatient.
Jiang Shushu: "..." Why is she trying to please? It shouldn't be like that. During the day, she's so arrogant, radiating a domineering aura. But at night, how come she becomes so soft and sheepish? And Li Chunyan's attitude is problematic too... Control, yes, control. Could Li Chunyan's golden finger be about control? Controlling others to do what she says?
I will ask the director of the Revolutionary Committee tomorrow. If he also forgets what happened the day before, then Li Chunyan’s golden finger must be control, or control with memory deletion.
Li Chunyan went forward to open the box and saw that it was filled with money and bills, as well as more than 20 kilograms of gold bars and some antique jade. Li Chunyan smiled happily.
Jiang Shushu looked at what Li Chunyan was holding in her hand from afar and knew that the box was a treasure, which made him more convinced of his guess.
It must be control, otherwise who would be willing to give up such a box of treasures?
Lin Lei was so excited when he saw so many banknotes and treasures that he almost cried out, but he had to bite his lip to hold it back.
