Ji Qinglan quickly held the child in her arms and coaxed him. Xin Cheng was also well behaved and did not cry or make a fuss in her arms.

Ji Qinglan thanked Liu Yumei and said, "Thank you so much today, otherwise I don't know what to do."

"No, it's just about taking care of a child." Liu Yumei waved her hand indifferently.

"I'm glad you're okay. I was scared to death. It's all Xiang Jun's fault. He came back here for no reason. Even if he was beaten to death outside, it's none of our business."

Ji Qinglan pursed her lips and didn't respond. She didn't know where to find anyone outside. Besides, she had a child with her. It was impossible for her to leave her child behind and go to the town to beat people up!

Anyway, she felt relieved after the fight.

Liu Yumei chatted with her about gossip again, "At dawn, my fifth uncle came back on his bike and said that Xiang Jun had suffered a concussion, his face was swollen beyond recognition, and his right hand was broken. He was still unconscious when he came back. The team leader rushed over, and my father-in-law also rode over there just now..."

"You mean him? He caused unrest in the village when he came back. Xiang Xiangqing is also a cruel person. He even killed his own cousin."

"That's right. You can't judge a person by his appearance!" Ji Qinglan sighed after surviving the disaster.

"You are unlucky to be neighbors with such a person. You should be more careful in the future. He is the captain's nephew. The captain will definitely not report the case and will definitely make him pay for the medical expenses and compensation."

"Ah!..." Ji Qinglan was surprised, "The captain said he would report it to the police?"

"Haha!" Liu Yumei laughed and looked at Ji Qinglan.

"Don't you think that Xiang Xiangqing is his nephew? If the captain wants to report the case, will the elders of the Xiang family agree? He can't afford to lose this person."

Ji Qinglan nodded after hearing this, and felt sorry for Xiang Jun: "Then Xiang Jun got beaten for nothing, pitiful!"

When Liu Yumei heard this, she couldn't help but spit and whispered, "He's not a good person at all."

Seeing Ji Qinglan's puzzled look, Liu Yumei stared at the deserted outsider before leaning over and whispering, "I heard from my husband that he came back the night the brigade's grain was stolen, and that he suddenly had money in town afterwards. He treated people to meals, went to the movies with his girlfriend, and went to state-owned stores..."

"When he came back yesterday, the pair of leather shoes on his feet cost this much. Where do you think he got the money from?" Liu Yumei said, holding up three fingers.

Ji Qinglan was shocked at the right moment: "Thirty, so expensive, where did he get the money?"

"Where did the money come from?" Liu Yumei raised her head at her.

"No one cares about him?"

"Who dares to intervene? His father is the team leader, and he hasn't been caught in the act." Liu Yumei curled her lips. Moreover, her mother has always doted on this son, so even if he makes a fuss, she will definitely say that the money was given by her.

As for where her money came from, there was another man named Xiang Guo in the city who worked in a transport team. The couple were both working and earned more than a hundred yuan a month.

Moreover, the unlucky ones in this incident were the two educated youth. They had no one to rely on in the village and dared not make a fuss.

After her analysis, Ji Qinglan fell silent while holding Xin Cheng. No wonder Han Yuanjun also wanted to attack Xiang Jun last night. Maybe he knew that he couldn't do anything to him.

Liu Yumei didn't sit for too long. It was almost noon, and she had to go back to make lunch.

Ji Qinglan put her son on the bed, let him play with Xiao Hei, and went to the kitchen to cook.

While eating, I received today's subsidy. Today's subsidy has increased again. I don't know if it is because I saved Xiao Yi and Luo Hongxing yesterday.

In addition to the usual rice, flour, brown sugar, cotton, chicken, duck, pork, milk powder, sugar, and cloth, today one hundred kilograms of peanuts were added.

The backpack that was just emptied yesterday is full again today.

I can't finish it, I really can't finish it.

Ji Qinglan sighed happily.

After dinner, she did not rush to find Han Yuanjun, but started practicing martial arts in the room by herself.

In the ward of the county hospital, the Xiang family was in a gloomy mood. Xiang Jun had not woken up yet. Xiang Guo and his wife took leave after receiving the news and rushed over. Xiang's mother held her eldest son and cried.

The captain sat aside with a sullen face, listening, while Xiang Qiang sat alone in a corner with his hands in his sleeves, dozing off with his eyes squinted.

Xiang Guo's wife Song Qing saw that it was noon, so she came to Xiang's mother and whispered, "Mom, it's noon now, I'll go back and cook for everyone."

"Eat, eat, eat! The fourth child is already in this state, and you are still thinking about eating. Why won't I eat you to death?" Xiang's mother raised her tearful face and angrily retorted.

Song Qing's expression suddenly turned ugly.

The captain became impatient when he heard this: "Why are you yelling? Lao Si is lying down. Are we going to starve to death?"

Xiang's mother woke up after being yelled at. When she saw that the person who spoke was her eldest daughter-in-law, she realized that she had said something wrong.

"We haven't eaten anything since we came here this morning. I'm starving to death." Xiang Qiang opened his eyes when he heard about food, and he was furious. He was very hungry in the morning and asked his mother to give him two dollars to buy food, but he was scolded.

Xiang Guo comforted his wife, "Mom is worried and her tone is a bit harsh, don't worry about it. It's troublesome to go back now, just buy some food outside and keep an eye on it."

As he spoke, he took out five dollars and a few tickets and handed them to Song Qing.

Song Qing said nothing, took the money and left.

"You've lost your mind, talking to the eldest brother's wife like that." The captain looked at Xiang's mother with dissatisfaction.

Xiang's mother didn't dare to say a word. In the morning, Xiang Qiang also complained that he was hungry. She was very annoyed and yelled back at him. She thought it was Xiang Qiang and didn't pay attention to his tone.

After Xiang's mother calmed down, the captain pulled Xiang Guo out and whispered to him what had happened today at the stairs.

"Father also thought that it was Xiangqing who beat someone?" Xiang Guo asked with narrowed eyes.

The captain thought for a while before shaking his head: "Not really. I know Xiangqing. He doesn't dare to fart. He doesn't dare to hit Lao Si."

"So what does father think about this matter?" Xiang Guo asked again.

"I still suspect it was Ji Qinglan. I suspect she did it on purpose. Maybe she discovered something. After all, some people in the village saw what happened between Lanlan and Liang Qian. She has been out frequently these days, so she might have heard something." He told the captain his guess.

"Now that the evidence has been found in Xiangqing's house, everyone in the team thinks that he beat Xiang Jun in order to avenge Ji Qinglan. He doesn't have that brain, but it's not necessarily Ji Qinglan's doing." Xiang Guo disagreed with his father's speculation.

Even if Ji Qinglan knew that Lanlan and Liang Qian had dated before, everyone now believed that Liang Qian was dead. What could she do? Would she take revenge on Xiang Jun?

It's not that he looks down on her, but she simply doesn't have the brains for it.

"You don't know that Ji Qinglan has suddenly changed a lot." The captain was still worried.

"It's normal for people to change after experiencing a major upheaval. You're worrying too much." Xiang Guo didn't take his father's words to heart.

"Compared to her, the two educated youth are more suspicious. They are using the conflict between Xiangqing and Ji Qinglan to confuse the public. Father might as well investigate privately."
