Together with Wei Yifu was Song Mingcheng.
"Principal Wei, Dad, you guys..."
Song Zhanjin stepped forward to join in the conversation, but was stopped by Wei Yifu just as he opened his mouth.
"Don't talk!"
Song Mingcheng waved his hand and frowned, saying, "Don't worry, Principal Wei just asked Junjun a few questions, it's not a big deal!"
Lin Wanjun guessed something in her heart, but her face remained calm.
"Then let's go inside and talk!"
There was nothing in the room except the big bed, not even a stool to rest your feet.
Everyone stood in the empty room, looking at the bags of grain on the ground.
"These two are the food bags that Lin Wanjun found in the cave, and these two are the food bags that Dong Yingying brought in today!"
Wei Yifu said gravely, "Two batches of grain that are completely unrelated, yet produced by the same rice mill. How do you explain this?"
The room was silent and no one spoke.
As if realizing that his tone was a bit oppressive, Wei Yifu cleared his throat.
"Dong Yingying's grain was purchased through formal procedures, and the truck driver said they lost a batch of grain en route..."
Having said that, Wei Yifu paused and looked at Lin Wanjun.
Lin Wanjun raised her eyelids and looked at Wei Yifu coldly.
"What do you mean? Do you suspect I stole the grain that Dong Yingying lost? Even if it was just a few dozen kilograms, let alone hundreds of kilograms, I wouldn't be able to carry it!"
"Besides, you've assigned me to the dung-pulling team as a hard laborer. I deal with feces and urine every day. Do you think I have time to go out and steal food?"
Lin Wanjun raised her voice and stared at Wei Yifu's face.
"If you think I stole that batch of grain, then let's report it to the police and the county revolutionary committee right now. Have Director Xu come back and take me and all the grain away!"
After saying that, Lin Wanjun turned around and walked out, and Wei Yifu stepped forward to stop her.
"What are you going to do?"
"What are you doing? Call the police and turn yourself in! Call Director Xu and have him take away the stolen food!"
Lin Wanjun said angrily.
Wei Yifu had a terrible headache.
"Xiao Lin, that's not what I meant. I didn't suspect you of stealing food. I just..."
"What are you saying? You just want to say that the grain in the cave was not hidden by Han Jinsheng, but brought in by Dong Yingying."
"This credit shouldn't belong to me who found the food, but to Dong Yingying who lost it, right?"
Lin Wanjun interrupted Wei Yifu with a somewhat contemptuous tone.
"What do these achievements have to do with me? Do you think I care? The only thing I care about is that everyone can have food to eat, that's all!"
Song Zhanjin protected Lin Wanjun behind him and looked at Wei Yifu with burning eyes.
"Principal Wei, my wife never thought of taking credit for it. Otherwise, she could have immediately reported to the County Revolutionary Committee like Dong Yingying did, and Director Xu would have taken the grain away for unified distribution."
"You don't have to thank her, but you can't slander her. You're putting all this so-called evidence before my eyes. Aren't you just trying to accuse my wife?"
Song Zhanjin's eyes were sharp.
"What kind of answer do you want? Do you want her to admit her crime of stealing the grain? Do you want a reasonable explanation when they trace the source of this grain?"
Not caring about Wei Yifu's ugly expression, Song Zhanjin sneered.
"If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. If you really want to find someone to take the blame, don't make things difficult for my wife. I'll take the blame for her and go to jail for her, okay?"
"Song Zhanjin, stop talking!"
Song Mingcheng waited until Song Zhanjin finished speaking before scolding him a few words in a mild manner.
Wei Yifu was speechless and unable to refute after being confronted by the couple.
"Principal Wei, I don't know exactly how much food Dong Yingying lost, nor do I know where the food in the cave came from. The only thing I can guarantee is that my daughter-in-law is innocent."
"I don't care how you investigate, but if my daughter-in-law is wronged, I cannot agree!"
Song Mingcheng expressed his position sternly.
The atmosphere at the scene was frozen for a moment until Wei Yifu coughed a few times.
"That's not what I meant! I just..."
He grunted for a moment and said, "Food can't just appear out of thin air, right? I'm just thinking, this batch of food in the cave must have a reasonable source, right?"
"I asked around, and they did lose a shipment of rice and flour. Perhaps the thieves hid the stolen goods in the cave, and we happened to find them."
Taking a deep breath, Wei Yifu showed the bag of grain and said, "The evidence is irrefutable, so the credit for this batch of grain in the cave should also be given to Dong Yingying!"
"As you wish!"
Lin Wanjun doesn't care about these at all.
"If you want to give her an award, then give her an award. If you want to commend her, then commend her. I won't make a fuss."
Hearing this, Wei Yifu breathed a sigh of relief.
After saying a few more soothing words, Wei Yifu turned around and left with a relaxed expression.
The originally joyful atmosphere of moving into a new home became dull because Dong Yingying and Wei Yifu came one after another to add to the trouble.
Lin Wanjun didn't say anything else, nor did she pay any attention to Song Zhanjin. She blew out the light, wrapped herself in the quilt and went to sleep.
At noon the next day, the county revolutionary committee sent a certificate of honor to Dong Yingying with great fanfare, and also asked the cadre school to hold a commendation meeting to commend Dong Yingying's dedication.
For this purpose, the cadre school deliberately stopped work for an afternoon and let Dong Yingying sit in the center of the stage wearing a red flower, as glorious and honorable as she could be.
When someone is happy, someone else is worried. The more prosperous Dong Yingying is, the more miserable Lin Wanjun becomes.
After the commendation meeting, Dong Yingying transformed herself into a great benefactor who saved the people from dire straits, while Lin Wanjun became a hypocrite who was seeking fame and reputation and had evil intentions.
A group led by Zhao Shuping spread rumors everywhere, saying that Lin Wanjun had stolen the food from Dong Yingying, and that the anti-inflammatory drugs that saved more than a dozen lives were also stolen...
The rumors can be as outrageous and as unpleasant as they can be.
Lin Wanjun was too lazy to pay attention and took advantage of the rain to clean up her new home alone.
There were no curtains in the bedroom. Lin Wanjun entered the space and searched around, and soon found the curtain fabric.
She did not leave in a hurry, but walked into the room where the grain was stored, looked at the large empty corner, and talked to herself.
"How infuriating! It was clearly me who provided the food and saved everyone's lives, but in a few words, it was all attributed to Dong Yingying!"
"Oh, I want to explain, but how? Oh, say I have a space to store everything?"
"I'm really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, I can't express my suffering!"
…
"Good fortune and bad fortune go hand in hand. Suffering a loss right now isn't necessarily a bad thing! Besides, you didn't save people with food to seek credit, did you? "
Suddenly a male voice came from behind, which scared Lin Wanjun so much that her hair stood on end and her scalp went numb.
Damn it!
There is indeed someone in the space, and it’s a living person!
She was so nervous that her breathing became rapid, and she didn't dare to look back for a moment.
“Who…who are you?”
There was a brief silence, and then a laughing voice came from behind.
"My name is Song Xizhou, I am..."
Halfway through the conversation, Song Zhanjin's voice suddenly broke the silence in the space.
"Junjun! Junjun, are you asleep? Why did you lock the door?"
Lin Wanjun turned around abruptly, only to find no one behind her. Only the door, which had been closed, was half open, and it seemed as if a breeze was blowing through it...
Song Zhanjin was still knocking on the door. Lin Wanjun had no time to investigate and could only leave the space first.
Pretending to have just woken up, he opened the door and saw Song Zhanjin walking in breathlessly.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Wanjun was about to lie back on the bed, but Song Zhanjin pulled her up and put on her shoes and socks for her.
"Don't sleep anymore, there's someone important who wants to see you!"
