Chapter 129 Who is the Thief?



The lesson from yesterday is still there. How could the others possibly let Chen Laoliu defeat him?

Chen Laoqi grabbed his cousin and said, "Brother, can you please stop making such a fuss? We can't finish all the work for the day. If you keep making such a fuss, do you still want to come home early for dinner this afternoon?"

"That's right, don't keep doing this until late at night. Who can stand this?"

"Sixth Brother, please stop causing trouble for your brothers."

Everyone started to blame Chen Laoliu, as if Chen Laoliu was the only one who had carried the rice yesterday.

Chen Laoliu was not convinced, but he had already aroused public anger, so he had to endure it for the time being.

The story of Zhang Xiaohua and Wang Laogen breaking into the house finally got out, and people were talking about it the next day.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s too busy with the autumn harvest, but Wang Laogen has been quiet.

Whenever Zhang Xiaohua heard someone gossiping about her, she would either scold the other person to death or bring a few sisters-in-law to beat them up. As a result, there were fewer people gossiping about her, but she still wished Shen Ruofei would die immediately!

Shen Ruofei, who was hated by others, didn't feel anything at all. All she could think about now was eating meat.

That’s right, Yi Xiaoqiu decided to take out some meat from the farm to feed everyone.

Ever since Yi Xiaoqiu started working as a rice picker, he has been like a fish in water.

Not only did she eat well every day, she was also not as tired as before. Seeing that she had made up for all the weight she had lost before, Yi Xiaoqiu felt that she couldn't work so hard anymore. Everyone else was getting thinner and thinner during the autumn harvest, but she was the only one who was getting better and better. This was too unusual. She didn't dare to eat meat casually, but if she didn't eat it, she would be very hungry.

So, Yi Xiaoqiu decided to let everyone have some nourishment. The autumn harvest was halfway through, so it would be just right to take out a batch of meat for everyone to enjoy as a snack.

Early in the morning, Yi Xiaoqiu came out of the house and told Shen Ruofei about this.

Just like before, if you want pork, please make a reservation first.

This time Yi Xiaoqiu didn't plan to hide it and quickly told everyone the news.

Those who didn’t get the pork last time are so happy, because they finally don’t have to fight for it this time!

Everyone rushed to the backyard of the educated youth's residence and started ordering pork.

Xie Xingyu, contrary to his foodie behavior, didn't even make a reservation.

Of course, Yi Xiaoqiu didn't care whether there were more or fewer people. She took a quick glance and knew what was going on. "Okay, I've noted down any pork orders you guys have. There's no extra. Each person should get only about a pound at most. Everyone, hurry up and get to work. Stop crowding around. The meat will arrive soon!"

After working hard for half a month, they finally got to eat a little meat. How could everyone not be excited? Especially those who didn't get the meat last time, they wished that Yi Xiaoqiu would bring the meat back the next day.

It is impossible to get it out immediately. The earliest will be the next afternoon. Now there are no mobile phones. If you want to send a message, you can just send a message to solve it immediately. Now you have to ask others to pass on the message for everything, not to mention that it takes time for the other party to reply. The next afternoon is just the right time to get the pork out.

Yi Xiaoqiu came back later than everyone else. When he returned to the educated youth site, it was very quiet.

Yi Xiaoqiu went straight back to the backyard and took a shower on the farm.

Soon, the front became lively. Zhao Shuhong came back from the cafeteria after eating. As usual, she opened the drawer and took out her wallet. She was immediately excited when she saw it.

After guarding for so many days, the thief stole her money again. She grabbed her wallet and ran out of the house, shouting, "There's a thief in our educated youth camp! My money has been stolen again!"

The educated youth had just returned from their meal and were busy washing and getting ready. When they turned around, they heard Zhao Shuhong say that their money had been stolen. Everyone had different expressions, and a trace of barely perceptible nervousness flashed across Qian Donglai's face.

"Are you sure your money was stolen?"

Zhao Shuhong nodded immediately. "I put twenty-five yuan in my wallet. I just went in to get some money, and when I opened my wallet, I found it was gone. Last time, ten yuan was stolen from me, too. I didn't know when it was stolen, so I didn't say anything. This time, the money was stolen the same day!"

She counted the money before going to bed yesterday. The money was only stolen yesterday. In addition, everyone went out early in the morning and was busy working in the fields all day. The thief only had the opportunity to break into her room and steal the money when she came back from work in the afternoon to eat in the cafeteria.

"When I was eating in the cafeteria just now, who was at the educated youth site and didn't leave?" Zhao Shuhong asked this and everyone was stunned.

Apart from a few old educated youth, there seems to be no one else?

No, Yi Zhiqing who came back later has been at the Zhiqing point the whole time.

When everyone thought of this, no one said anything for a while.

Finally, it was the eldest brother, Lin Dongyan, who stood up. Lin Dongyan frowned and said, "Zhao Zhiqing, although we didn't eat in the cafeteria like you, we went straight to the river to bathe after returning, and didn't stay at the Zhiqing site."

Qian Donglai nodded immediately. "Yes, Lin Zhixiao, Li Zhiqing, and I went to the riverside as soon as we got back."

Since the meat in the canteen was finished, these old educated youths stopped eating there. The three of them came back to cook. The workday ended earlier than before, and the three of them were itching very badly, so they simply discussed and decided to take a bath in the river first and then come back to cook. The three of them cooked quickly, so it didn't take much time overall.

So, after returning to the educated youth site, everyone packed their clothes and headed straight to the river.

Only Yi Xiaoqiu stayed at the educated youth site. Like Zhao Shuhong, the others did not work at the educated youth site. After work, they went straight to the canteen to eat.

With this calculation, Yi Xiaoqiu is the most suspicious. Besides, no one knows when she came back. The key point is that she has made a fuss here, but she didn't even come out. Is she feeling guilty?

But for a moment, no one believed that Yi Zhiqing, who was trying to get cheap meat for everyone to eat, would do such a thing.

Shen Ruofei and the others had never thought of Yi Xiaoqiu.

If some people don't mention Yi Xiaoqiu, then someone else will.

"I remember that when we came back, Yi Zhiqing was already at the educated youth site. Let's ask her if she saw anything..." Qian Donglai suggested.

He didn't mean to ask Yi Xiaoqiu if she saw anything, but to draw suspicion to Yi Xiaoqiu.

Sure enough, Zhao Shuhong immediately began to suspect Yi Xiaoqiu after hearing this. "Yi Zhiqing is the only one at the Zhiqing point. I really need to ask her."

Before Qian Donglai could even curl his lips, Song Ying spoke up, "Apart from Yi Zhiqing, think about whether there is anything you've missed."

"Think about it again, who was the last one to leave the educated youth point?" Gu Chengfeng said thoughtfully.

He thought of the time when they first arrived and Lu Rongrong's money was stolen. Although the money appeared on its own in the end, everyone knew that the thief was afraid that they would really call the police, so he took the money out.

Since the money had been recovered, they had no choice but to contact the police, and the matter ended there. Unexpectedly, three months later, the thief started stealing money again.
