Chapter 101 Shooting Yourself in the Foot



"Someone has reported you for committing a crime!" The police officer said sternly as he and his colleagues entered the room. "Everyone else, come out for questioning."

Yang Zhaozhao heard the noise and put the big black stone into the space. Then he walked out calmly: "Comrade police, how come I don't know what illegal and criminal things we have done?"

"Let me take a look at the letter of introduction. And you, your accent doesn't sound like you're from our place." The police officer stared at Gu Jiayuan with a look of suspicion.

"......" Gu Jiayuan obediently took out the letter of introduction.

This young man didn't have an ID card, so he needed a letter of introduction to go out. He saw that he was from Beijing, and the letter said he was visiting relatives: "Yang Zhaozhao is your cousin?"

"I am." Yang Zhaozhao nodded.

"The address is written as 627 Farm in Fengyang County, how come it is in the city? Your letter of introduction is wrong. If you have nothing to do, either go to the farm or go to Beijing." At this time, the letter of introduction was also checked strictly.

Gu Jiayuan was obviously being targeted.

Yang Zhaozhao frowned and said, "The police officer will leave tomorrow and won't stay long. Don't worry, we are all good people and will not do anything illegal or criminal."

"You can't do that. How come someone reported you for speculation and defrauding honest people?" The police comrade had a serious look on his face, which showed "leniency to those who are honest and severity to those who resist."

"What speculation? We don't do that!" Yang Zhaozhao was glad that he didn't go to sell things at this time.

"What's going on with Daheishi? I heard you're using banned currency to scam people."

"We didn't!" Yang Zhaozhao finally understood. No wonder she felt someone was eavesdropping when she was talking. Now it seemed that someone really was eavesdropping.

It’s not good to live too close to someone. If you fart, your neighbors will know whether it smells good or bad.

It hasn't been long since he was reported. It's really an unexpected disaster.

Yang Zhaozhao and the others exchanged glances. Li Yiling was the smartest one, pointing to a rock in the corner and saying, "We're talking about this big black stone, used to press sauerkraut."

The police officer looked at the big black stone and found that it was indeed black, big, and a stone.

Big black stone?

Yang Zhaozhao laughed: "I'm afraid someone heard it wrong. We said 㱕 is this big black stone, and you said 㱕 that big black stone. How can we have it?"

"When the black stone was banned from circulation, we were only a few years old. How could we have hidden such large-denomination banknotes? Don't you think so, comrade?"

It’s impossible to think about it, so the police comrades are about to go.

Xue's wife, however, refused to accept the offer and stood up. "Police comrades, don't be fooled by her sweet words. They lied. They clearly said it wasn't this big black stone, but the big black banknote with the big money around it, the big black ten."

Yang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, it turned out that it was the eldest sister-in-law of the Xue family who reported us. I think you haven't been beaten enough by the eldest brother of the Xue family. Are you itching for trouble?"

Seeing Yang Zhaozhao clenching his fist, Xue's wife was so scared that she hid behind the police: "If you dare to hit me again, the police will arrest you!"

"I heard you say you had four or five banknotes. That's fifty yuan. If we spend it, won't we harm others?" Xue's wife urged, "Comrade police, search. You're sure to find the stolen goods."

Yang Zhaozhao almost wanted to slap her: "Sister-in-law Xue, if you wrongly accuse me, I will not be polite to you."

With a backer, the Xue family's wife was not afraid at all: "You are panicking, there must be something fishy, the thing must be hidden under your pillow, right? I will search it out and show you!"

Before Xue's wife entered the house, Yang Zhaozhao grabbed her braid and pushed her to the ground. She fell to the ground in pain, and some things fell out of her pockets.

"What is this?" Yang Zhaozhao picked up the small things on the ground and took a look. He found that they were screws. "Is this from your factory?"

"No...no, I found it." Xue's daughter-in-law hurriedly grabbed it, trying to hide it from anyone.

Unfortunately it was too late. Yang Zhaozhao gave one to the police officer.

They took one look at the Erba Steel Plant sign, then at the bag of screws, and their faces turned grim: "Mrs. Xue, come with us! We suspect you're stealing screws from the factory."

What do you call this? This is called shooting oneself in the foot!

The Xue family's wife shook her head: "I don't have any, these are not mine, they belong to her, she stuffed them into my mouth!"

Yang Zhaozhao had seen what it meant to lie with open eyes. The daughter-in-law of the Xue family was one of them. She even slandered people in front of the police. Wasn't she asking for a beating?

"Comrade police officer, look..." Yang Zhaozhao didn't need to explain.

Xue's wife was taken away, and another policeman went to her house to search. Yang Zhaozhao went to watch the fun and was shocked when he saw a sack of screws weighing hundreds of pounds.

"Oh my god, it's a sack of screws, and you can't eat them, so why did you steal them?"

Xue’s wife also knew that she couldn’t eat it, but steel was in short supply, so she could buy it and exchange it for money. There were people who specialized in collecting it, and if she had 100 kilograms of it to sell, she could also supplement the family income.

When something happened to Xue's daughter-in-law, all the neighbors came to watch the fun.

One of them met the woman who worked at the factory with Xue's wife and suddenly realized: "No wonder the factory always said the number of screws was wrong. I got scolded several times and fined. I didn't expect it was you who stole them."

"You thief, you killed me! I'm going to tell my boss that it's all your fault!"

"So she was stealing things from the factory."

"I didn't realize it. She's usually quite a fierce person, but she's actually got dirty hands."

"Could it be that the things lost in my house were also stolen by her?"

The daughter-in-law of the Xue family couldn't hold her head up when she heard that person say that she stole her family's things. She couldn't stand it.

"Your junk weighs less than three pounds, and I stole your stuff. I clearly sold it to buy food. Don't think I didn't see it!"

It didn't matter what he said, all the women on the street started cursing.

Yang Zhaozhao was happy to watch the show. Knowing that the police officer was not bothered by the noise, he scolded him and Xue's wife was taken to the police station.

The three children of Xue's daughter-in-law cried so hard that they looked extremely pitiful.

But when the three of them bully others, it's also very hateful.

The neighbors watched the excitement, and no one pulled the three children away. They just watched Xue's wife being taken away. It was no use for the three children to cry.

Yang Zhaozhao reminded him again: "Is crying any use? Why don't you go find your dad?"

It turns out that it's no use looking for their father.

This was not the first time that Xue’s wife had stolen something. She said that she probably sold it for around a hundred yuan.

At a time when the average monthly wage was more than ten yuan, one hundred yuan was nine months' salary.

In order to make an example of her, the factory not only demanded double compensation, but also sent Xue's wife to jail.

Xue Da's family was in a state of gloom. The only savings they had was the salary they had just received this month.

The Xue family's wife was crying in the police station, begging Xue Da to get her out, and she said that if she had no money, she could sell their ancestral things.

Xue was furious: "What's going on now? Those things were valuable in the past, but now they're just hot potatoes. I can't even fill my stomach. Does anyone want them?"

With this money, I might as well buy some food to fill my stomach!

While the Xue family was in dire straits, Yang Zhaozhao and his family were having a great time. They even had hotpot, a mutton hotpot with lamb ribs.

The milk tea stewed in the soup is so delicious.

Looking at the two men eating heartily with sweat on their foreheads, Yang Zhaozhao felt that the fifty yuan she spent on this hotpot meal was worth it.

Every time she took something out of the supply space, she would get a bill at the beginning of the month.

For today's meal, Yang Zhaozhao specially looked at the price. Just the lamb rolls, lamb ribs, and other miscellaneous side dishes, fifty yuan was really expensive.

But Gu Jiayuan is going to die tomorrow, so Yang Zhaozhao is eating hotpot to commemorate him.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Gu Jiayuan rubbed his stomach and said, "Cousin, does your farm need more educated youth? I want to come too. Look, your farm has such a rich variety of mutton and vegetables. Your life on the farm is really that good!"

Li Yiling: "......"

Brother, you think too much!

"......" Yang Zhaozhao was speechless: "Brother, you are over the age limit and you don't know it. If you come, you are not called an educated youth."

Gu Jiayuan was curious: "What's your name?"

Yang Zhaozhao laughed and said, "It's called labor reform!"

Gu Jiayuan was heartbroken.

There's no way he could end up in labor camp!
