Chapter 214 Ying Wan is captured
The reason why Chen Tang didn't lend it to her was actually because Ying Wan had a good relationship with Tian Xiaotian.
Birds of a feather flock together. Tian Xiaotian said one thing to your face and another behind your back. She didn't understand Ying Wan, but Chen Tang always had a hunch that Ying Wan was hostile to her.
Although she didn't know where this hostility came from, Chen Tang trusted her intuition very much, especially since Ying Wan and Tian Xiaotian had just had a quarrel, so she couldn't help but feel that something was not right.
Ying Wan's face froze: "Really? I thought your family had no shortage of money and food coupons to buy meat every day."
Chen Tang thought, even if she didn’t need it, it had nothing to do with her.
"The kid just wants some minced meat with rice. Didn't you see that I bought only lean meat?"
Ying Wan had always been keeping an eye on Chen Tang, so of course she knew that she usually bought lean meat. She had even scolded Chen Tang for being a prodigal son who only picked lean meat.
Because of this, she and her husband had a fight.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Chen Tang didn't want to talk to her more, as Aunt Zhang was still waiting.
Ying Wan looked at her departing back with a gloomy expression.
Chen Tang didn't take it to heart. Two days later, Lin Xiao came to her house with the child and told her that Ying Wan had borrowed money from her.
"You lent it to her?"
When Lin Xiao's child was one month old, Ying Wan went to give him a gift. The relationship between the two of them couldn't be said to be very good, but it was definitely that they were in contact with each other.
Lin Xiao: “I borrowed twenty yuan.”
She didn't have much savings and went back to work after giving birth. This money was already half a month's salary for her.
"When my baby was one month old, she came to give me a gift and said she would return it to me next month. I felt embarrassed to refuse the loan."
Chen Tang understood that Lin Xiao was embarrassed to refuse: "Then did you ask Ying Wan to borrow money for what?"
Lin Xiao shook her head: "She said her mother was sick, and borrowing twenty yuan was not a lot, so I lent it to her."
Chen Tang was stunned: "But when she asked me to borrow money, she said that her mother, Deputy Battalion Commander Fu, was sick."
Lin Xiao was also stunned: "Did she say something wrong?"
"Impossible. Didn't Ying Wan say before that she has two brothers? If her mother was sick, why would she need to borrow money?"
Seeing Lin Xiao depressed, Chen Tang advised: "Next time if she asks you to borrow money again, don't lend it to her. You are not rich, and your mother-in-law is urging you to have a second child. The little money you have is not enough for your family to live on."
She only advised her like this because she considered Lin Xiao her first friend in this world, otherwise she would not have said so much.
Ying Wan and Tian Xiaotian have always had a good relationship, but Tian Xiaotian was able to just walk away, which shows that Ying Wan has something hidden in her heart.
If she really had difficulties, she could have explained the situation to Director Liang and asked him to advance some of her salary.
The fact that she could ask for money from Chen Tang and Lin Xiao, people she was not familiar with, meant that no one she knew was willing to lend her money.
Lin Xiao nodded, unable to stop feeling regretful, wondering if the money he had lent out would be returned.
Her relationship with Ying Wan was average. If it weren't for the fact that their vegetable gardens were close to each other and the other party was always enthusiastic about picking vegetables for her, she wouldn't have been able to talk to her at all.
Lin Xiao couldn't sleep at night because he was thinking about the little money he had.
Not long after this incident, Ying Wan came to her again to borrow money, and Lin Xiao decisively refused her.
Ying Wan didn't expect her to refuse so straightforwardly. She promised to give her one more dollar when she returned the money. Lin Xiao still refused to lend her the money, so she left with a bad look on her face.
Chen Tang has been very busy these days. Not only does she have to take care of Aunt Zhang, but Su Xiaoxiao also has to go to the city all the time, leaving Jiangnan and his brother at her house to play. Fortunately, Jiangnan is obedient and can take care of two children by herself, so she is not so tired.
In the evening, Su Xiaoxiao came back to pick up Jiangnan and his brother Chen Shu. Seeing that the corners of her mouth were dry and chapped, Chen Tang poured her a bowl of mung bean soup.
Su Xiaoxiao finished drinking and took a breath in a chair: "The black market has been strictly checked recently. If you don't have anything to do, don't go to the city first."
Chen Tang didn't ask her what happened. After all, they needed to keep their mission secret. "Okay, I got it. Do you want to tell Lin Xiao and Li Hong?"
She saw that Li Hong was going to the hospital for a physical examination in the next few days.
The relationship between Su Xiaoxiao, Lin Xiao and Li Hong is okay, but the best one is still Chen Tang.
She remembered what Lin Xiao had told her that day and shook her head: "No, Li Hong would never go to the black market, Lin Xiao...don't tell her yet, it's best if she doesn't know anything now."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she asked the two children to say hello to Chen Tang and go home.
Aunt Zhang stayed in bed for a few days and her waist injury was almost healed.
As soon as she recovered, she took over the cooking task.
She had to accept it. Chen Tang's cooking skills were just edible at best. She had spilled all the oil in an enamel bowl, which made Aunt Zhang feel so painful.
Little He Zhi was obedient. No matter how bad Chen Tang's cooking skills were, he would give her face and finish the meal. In the end, he would even tell his mother that the food was delicious.
He Xu came back after a two-week mission.
When I came back, a lot of things happened in the city and the news was widely spread. Many people in the family compound heard the news.
It turns out that there are people on the Haishi black market who are cheating people out of money and reselling things. Their methods are the same as those in Kyoto. They all use the excuse of helping to make money, then get people to invest, and then share the profits.
Su Xiaoxiao and the police station had been waiting for several days, and she also took her youngest son Chen Shu with her, pretending to go to the black market to buy and sell things and ask about the prices in order to lure the other party into being deceived.
She was a woman with a child, and she had just joined the police station, so not many people knew her. Her undercover work was very successful, and she was able to catch this group of scammers in one fell swoop.
As soon as the news came out, those who had been cheated of their money panicked.
The reason why those scammers were not caught before was that even if someone was cheated, they didn't dare to speak out.
If the people in the Revolutionary Committee knew that they were speculating in the black market, they would be shot.
People who are willing to take risks for money are usually extraordinary.
Seeing that many people with important identities in the city had been arrested, Ying Wan in the family compound also panicked.
Not long after, Ying Wan was taken away by the investigation team.
Now, many people in the family compound who had borrowed money from her started to get anxious.
Every household is in a tight spot now. Those who are willing to lend money to Ying Wan are not only because they have a good relationship with her, but also because Ying Wan promised to pay them one more dollar next month.
Seeing Ying Wan being taken away by the investigation team, those who had borrowed money from him surrounded Han Zhongguo's house to demand an explanation.
The main reason was that Fu Liansheng was also taken away for investigation, so everyone could only look for Fu Liansheng’s boss Han Zhongguo.
After searching, she found out that she thought she was the only one who borrowed money, but she didn't expect that more than a dozen people had lent her money!
