"Oh my god, thirty yuan, this is outrageous. I should report it to the police. This kind of dishonest person will steal my vegetables."
"My chicken disappeared last month. Could she have stolen it? She has completely disgraced the educated youth."
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered. There are already several missing sweet potatoes in my field. These educated youth are killing people."
The words of these villagers were like a sharp knife stabbing into Lin Xier's heart.
It made her angry blood boil.
She did nothing wrong, the money originally belonged to her. Lin Xier glared at Gu Qingning fiercely, "I didn't steal the money, you framed me just to get revenge on me. I know you still hold a grudge against me for falling into the water before."
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Lu family to check. All of Lu Changqing's work points belong to the Lu family. It's impossible for him to have money to spend on Gu Qingning. She's crazy about money and wants to blackmail me."
Lin Xier was a little proud. As long as the Lu family was united, it was impossible for Lu Changqing to have any private money.
Who would believe that Lu Changqing gave thirty yuan to Gu Qingning for private use.
Gu Qingning sneered in her heart, idiot, just wait.
At this time, the director of women's affairs and Lu Changqing arrived. Lu Changqing was relieved to see that Gu Qingning had not suffered any loss.
Zhang Qingxia, the women's director, saw Lin Xier and was furious. "What's going on, Lin Zhiqing? How could you do such a sneaky thing? You're destroying your own reputation."
Seeing that no one believed her, Lin Xier's eyes were filled with tears. "Aunt Zhang, please believe me. I really didn't steal the money. Gu Qingning framed me. The Lu family gave all the betrothal gifts. How could Lu Changqing have the money to buy her a dowry? You are blackmailing me like this. You are trying to force me to death."
Lin Qian and Shen Zhaodi were both filled with disbelief; they didn't expect she would actually dare to do it.
How dare she do such a stupid thing?
Gu Qingning glanced at Lin Xier, who had a malicious look on her face, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Then her eyes reddened and her voice choked with sobs: "Aunt Zhang, I don't want to trouble you either, but Chang Qing took pity on me for marrying far away in the countryside, so he gave me the thirty yuan that he had saved for more than ten years. If this money was taken away by someone with a bad conscience, how would I explain it to him! How am I going to live my life from now on? I..."
With that panic-stricken and nervous look, who would dare not believe that she was living with Lu Changqing sincerely?
Gu Qingning gave herself a thumbs up in her heart. Well done! She wouldn’t agree if her name wasn’t included in the next Best Actress award.
Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Qingning's face, which was three points more pitiful than Lin Xier's.
The suppressed discomfort seemed to be forced upon me, causing trouble to everyone.
On the other hand, Lin Xier was confusing the public. If she really didn't steal the money, how could she be caught in the act?
Aunt Zhang was upright and incorruptible, and she hated hypocritical people the most. "Lin Zhiqing, you said Gu Zhiqing was blackmailing you. If you didn't mean to, why did you come here? And you knew he had hidden thirty yuan? Who would go and see someone hiding money for no reason? The Red Star Brigade has no room for people with bad behavior. If you don't hand over the money today, I'll send you directly to the Public Security Bureau for questioning."
As the director of the women's department, Zhang Qingxia has handled all the big and small matters among the women in the village over the years, and she has some authority.
Lin Xier was frightened all of a sudden, trembling and looking at Song Hua eagerly.
Song Hua had never been asked to do this by someone he loved, so he straightened his chest and said, "I believe Lin Zhiqing is not that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding."
Gu Qingning almost laughed out of anger, what an idiot.
"What misunderstanding is there? Who would watch someone's every move and rummage through their house when they're out? That's a thief, corrupting morals and despicable. The educated youth camps cannot tolerate such backward elements. They're hindering our efforts to build our great motherland."
After saying this, Gu Qingning walked outside, intending to report to the police.
Lin Xier screamed, "Don't go."
If she really went there, even if she didn't steal the money, her reputation would be ruined and no one in the surrounding villages would want her.
Lin Xier secretly resented her, knowing that she had been tricked by her.
Gu Qingning, what a good trick.
Lin Xier gritted her teeth and said reluctantly, "I'll pay you back. It was my fault. I shouldn't have had such bad intentions. I've been so hungry these days that my mind isn't clear. I fully recognize my mistakes. Please give me a chance."
Gu Qingning raised her eyebrows. Wow, she really is so embarrassed.
This Lin Xier is quite something.
But that doesn’t matter, Gu Qingning’s goal has been achieved.
Gu Qingning spoke softly, looking at the director of women's affairs. "Aunt Zhang, we are all educated youth, and I am not the type to hold on to anything. Our brigade has been applying for advanced status every year. I can't let everyone's efforts go to waste because of this stain. Let her return my money and publicly self-criticize in front of the brigade, and forget it."
These words moved the surrounding villagers. It was so rare to be an advanced brigade these days, and they had never applied for one.
This year's success is ruined because of this educated youth, and all their efforts are in vain.
I immediately had a better impression of Gu Qingning. The educated youth were not short-sighted people.
Aunt Zhang took Gu Qingning's hand and patted it, "You are a child with a very high level of ideological awareness. If some people think the same as you, there is no need to worry about whether you can get promoted first or not."
After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xier coldly: "Comrade Lin, tomorrow you will go to dry the straw. Prepare your self-criticism and accept everyone's criticism and correction. Now, return the money."
Lin Xier found some money on her body, which she planned to use to seduce Lu Weiguo.
Lin Xier clenched her fingers tightly together, not wanting to take them out, her eyes red.
Aunt Zhang's face darkened. "Hurry up and take out the money, or I'll call the militia."
Lin Xier's face was pale, and she dragged her heavy legs to get the money. The money was hidden very well, and was all coaxed from Gu Qingning before.
