Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder
Chapter 77 Undercurrent
A group of people escorted the gagged Wu Wei and his wife to the Educated Youth Center. Because of her young age, Wu Xuanxuan almost grabbed Lin Aiguo's face, and now she just followed behind crying.
As for Zheng Tong, he was so old that he staggered when he walked, no one dared to push him, for fear that someone would kill him.
Compared with Wu Wei and his wife, Zheng Tong was treated much better, at least he was not gagged.
The members of the production team also heard the commotion and came out one by one to watch the fun.
When passing by Widow Liu's house, Bai Xiaohua who was lying on the bed suddenly got up: "What's going on outside?"
Liu Dazhu was eating porridge with Erlang's legs crossed, coughing all the time: "What are you bawling about?"
Bai Xiaohua ignored him, walked out of the room and went to the door to have a look.
Seeing this, Widow Liu frowned, and reminded: "Xiao Hua, it's none of our business what's going on outside, you can just lie down and raise your baby. Isn't the lesson from last time not enough?"
Liu Dazhu rarely agrees with his mother: "Yes, listen to me."
A trace of anger flashed in Bai Xiaohua's eyes, and she pursed her lips: "I'm not a pig, I can only lie down and eat all day."
She can only lie on the bed all day long, and there is no entertainment in this day and age, not even eating more snacks, Bai Xiaohua feels like she is going crazy.
If he hadn't been thinking about that book, and believed in his heart that he married Liu Dazhu, there must have been some bad reasons. Maybe Liu Dazhu is the hero of this era, how could Bai Xiaohua get pregnant again.
But she didn't know that if she hadn't been pregnant again, Widow Liu and Liu Dazhu would have accommodated because they were worried about the child.
It's a pity that the widow and widow Liu didn't talk about it at the moment, but Bai Xiaohua became more rebellious: "I'll go and see."
After speaking, he simply opened the door and went out.
Widow Liu became anxious when she saw it: "Hey, why don't you listen to advice, Aihua, go over and see your sister-in-law quickly, don't let her run around, she is still restless when she is pregnant with a child."
Widow Liu's words are not pleasant, but she is really worried about the child in her heart. If any wife in the production team is pregnant with a child, she will not do any work, that is, her family.
Unexpectedly, Liu Aihua dawdled for a while, and only said: "Let the eldest brother go, how can my sister-in-law listen to me?"
Ever since she had the idea of separating the family, Liu Aihua started planning from the bottom of her heart. Although her mother never agreed to delay because her sister-in-law was pregnant, Liu Aihua felt that she would leave the house with Xiao Zhu sooner or later, so she hated going to the elder brother and sister-in-law even more. .
Widow Liu didn't notice her daughter's thoughts, she thought it was the same at first hearing, but when she saw Liu Dazhu patronizing her meal, she didn't care at all that her daughter-in-law walked out of the door.
She kicked her son: "Go see your wife soon."
Liu Dazhu ate up the last bit of porridge, stuffed a mouthful of pickles into his mouth, and then got up and went out cursing: "This woman is restless."
Widow Liu was relieved when she saw her son following him, and sighed again: "I've been tossing around all day, and I still have to work in the afternoon."
Liu Aihua took the opportunity to say: "Mom, look at my sister-in-law, even if you really think about her, she won't appreciate you."
"Then what can I do? The daughter-in-law is already married, and there are children from our Liu family in her belly." Widow Liu obviously didn't understand what her daughter meant.
Liu Aihua pursed her lips and said, "Xiao Zhu is also the son of the Liu family."
Widow Liu's face was embarrassed for a moment, she glanced at her youngest son, and only picked up two chopsticks of pickled vegetables for them: "Okay, eat quickly, you have to go to work in the field after eating."
A circle of people outside the Educated Youth Center came to see the fun, Bai Xiaohua couldn't squeeze in, she clutched her stomach and cried out for pain, but as soon as others moved away, she slipped in.
The man whose seat was taken scolded: "Da Zhu's daughter-in-law must be out of her mind."
Someone next to him persuaded him: "She can't think clearly, I think you should stay away from her, otherwise if there is something wrong with her stomach, she won't blackmail you. Last time, the Wu educated youth sent things to their house a lot. "
The others also thought about it, there was no need to get all over their bodies just to watch the fun, and they all stayed away from her.
Bai Xiaohua didn't care about the words behind her back at all, she stretched her neck to look inside the educated youth center, but she couldn't find Wu Mengting after searching, and she was disappointed in her heart.
It turns out that I must have my own reasons for making friends with Wu Mengting.
After Bai Xiaohua woke up again, she also wanted to make friends with Wu Mengting, but unfortunately Wu Mengting ignored her, and because of the miscarriage, Widow Liu came to the Educated Youth Center to make trouble several times, and Wu Mengting had to pay the Liu family some money and food.
After making such a fuss, Wu Mengting wouldn't talk to her anymore.
Bai Xiaohua had the intention to attack, but Wu Mengting refused to accept the move, and she became pregnant again and had to stay at home to raise a baby, so she had to put aside this plan for the time being.
At this moment, Liu Dazhu chased after her, and seeing that there was no one around her, he walked over carelessly: "Mom told you to go home and lie down, don't run around."
Bai Xiaohua said without raising her head, "Go back after watching the excitement."
Liu Dazhu looked at the noisy educated youth institute, and suddenly became interested. Instead of persuading his wife to go home, he watched the excitement with relish.
It would be great if Wu Mengting was in trouble, she could take the opportunity to extend an olive branch, Bai Xiaohua's eyes were dancing with flames, looking at the noisy educated youth institute, she seemed to see hope.
But she didn't know that at the moment she appeared, a pair of sharp eagle eyes were fixed on her body.
Zheng Tong hid behind the crowd, looking at Bai Xiaohua through his messy white hair, with shock in his eyes.
Inside the Educated Youth Center, Lin Aiguo led the person to his bed: "I always put that bag of food here before."
Gu Mingdong took a glance. The beds in Datong's bunk were all empty underneath, and some daily necessities could be placed there.
"The stove where the educated youth cooks is outside. If someone takes something out of the room, people outside will not notice."
Lin Aiguo glared at Wu Wei and his wife: "They must have stolen it while I was away."
Gu Mingdong asked, "You said before that the food bag was still there when cooking last night. From cooking to sleeping, there should be people at the educated youth institute, right?"
"It's even more impossible to wait until the daytime. The few of them have heavy work, and they are watched by so many pairs of eyes. How could they sneak over to steal things?"
Lin Aiguo was taken aback, another educated youth nodded and said, "Everyone is there, and we take turns doing the laundry."
Gu Mingdong laughed: "That's where the problem comes in. Since there are people around all the time, if a new face comes in, he must be discovered immediately. How can there be a chance to steal the food bag?"
Gu Jianguo realized what he meant: "Ah Dong, you mean that the person who stole is an acquaintance?"
Upon hearing this, several educated youths became nervous: "You can't talk nonsense, how could we steal something."
Gu Mingdong signaled them to take it easy: "Lin Zhiqing hid the food bag under the bed, everyone in the educated youth office knew about it, but where did those newcomers find out?"
"They have been inquiring about the Educated Youth Institute." Lin Aiguo insisted.
Gu Mingdong asked: "They asked who and what did they inquire about?"
A male educated youth patted his head, and said naively: "They asked about the names of all the educated youths, and they said they wanted to familiarize themselves with the situation of the production team, so I told them."
"What are they? What do you do with them?"
"Then I didn't expect that. They said that they need to be familiar with the production team to do better transformation."
Gu Mingdong interrupted their argument: "I only asked how many people and their names, didn't I ask about the specific situation?"
Educated Youth Han nodded: "That's all, I didn't ask other questions, I definitely can't tell them if I ask too many questions."
Gu Mingdong nodded and said: "Then they definitely don't know that Lin Zhiqing's food is hidden under the bed. If you want to steal something to enter the door, you have to rummage through it. Have you found any traces of rummaging in the house?"
"No."
"sure?"
"I'm sure, my things are put away in different categories, as long as someone has touched them, I will know." This is a clean freak, and he never lets other people touch his things. Because of this, he often quarreled with the educated youths.
His bed was very close to the door, and he could almost see it when he entered the door. If a thief flipped through it, it would be impossible to pass over his bed.
Gu Mingdong then said: "According to the current clues, the thief went straight to Zhiqing Lin's food bag after entering the door, took the bag and left, leaving nothing else at all."
Gu Jianguo couldn't help but said, "This is not right."
The onlookers also started talking about it. After all, if someone really wanted to steal something, since he didn't know what was in the house, how could he not rummage at all, unless the person knew where the things were hidden from the beginning.
"It doesn't look like those few did it."
"Who else could it be?"
"Our production team won't be producing thieves again, what a shame..."
Gu Mingdong suddenly pointed to a bed: "Whose bed is that?"
Several educated youths looked at it and said, "Qian Zhiyi's."
When Lin Aiguo first came here, he wanted to grab this bed with Qian Zhiyi, but Qian Zhiyi was not easy to provoke, so he turned back with a few words. The relationship between the two has not been good.
Gu Mingdong walked over and pointed to a bag of snacks on the bedside: "Look, Qian Zhiqing has a bag of snacks on the bedside. This kind of snacks are not only more expensive, but also more convenient to eat, and they are placed on the bright side. , why didn't the thief take it away?"
"Yeah, why didn't the thief take the dim sum?" Gu Jianguo said, "If you steal the rice, you have to cook it, and it's easy to be discovered. If you steal the dim sum and eat it, no one will find out."
"Could it be that the thief was blind and didn't see the dim sum?"
"You can find the rice under the bed, but can't he see the snacks on the bedside?"
"Then why only steal Lin educated youth, but not Qian educated youth?"
Everyone's faces became strange, obviously diverging in strange directions.
Lin Aiguo also frowned, and suddenly said: "He's an acquaintance, and he just stole my things. I think it's Qian Zhiyi who did it."
After talking, walk over to search Qian Zhiyi's bedroll.
The educated youth next to him hurriedly stopped him: "Educated Lin, let's wait for Zhiqing Qian to come back first, maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Lin Zhiqing, you are guessing wildly, without evidence."
Gu Mingdong had received news from Zheng Tong a long time ago, and knew that Qian Zhiyi couldn't have taken the food at all. Qian Zhiyi was a bit of a nobleman, but he wasn't at the end of his rope, as you can tell by looking at the snacks.
"If it's a misunderstanding, I'll find out after searching." Lin Aiguo had a grudge against Qian Zhiyi in the first place, so how could he let such a good opportunity go by.
Lin Aiguo rushed over and tore off the quilt, shaking off immediately.
Suddenly, something fell from the quilt with a clatter.
Before Lin Aiguo saw the things clearly, he exclaimed in surprise: "I found the evidence, it is he who stole my things."
Unexpectedly, when he picked it up, it was not the grain bag he thought, but a piece of cloth.
"What the hell is this?" Lin Aiguo shook his head twice, no matter how he looked at it, he thought it was a rag.
The surrounding women burst into laughter: "Hey, isn't this a woman's bellyband? Why is there such a thing in Qian Zhiqing's quilt?"
"How can a man have a bellyband? It can't be a friend of his?"
"Educated Qian Qian didn't come out after such a big commotion, who is he looking for?"
"Did you find out that Wu Zhiqing didn't come out either, so the two of them..."
Lin Aiguo's face froze, and he subconsciously tightened the bellyband.
At this moment, Qian Zhiyi came back, his face darkened when he saw the situation, he rushed over to snatch the bellyband, and punched Zhonglin Aiguo on the nose: "You fucking dare to mess with my things."
Before Lin Aiguo recovered his senses, he took a slap, and was immediately unconvinced and wanted to fight back: "I touched your things so much, did you steal my food?"
"Is it worth my stealing just what you picked and searched?" Qian Zhiyi almost went mad with anger.
Seeing that the two were fighting together, Gu Jianguo yelled sharply: "Pull them apart quickly."
The frightened educated youths started pulling people away, and the Du brothers couldn't stand on the sidelines any longer, and they all started to separate them.
Lin Aiguo was hit several times, and his face was bruised. Qian Zhiyi was better, but his eyes were also bruised.
Looking at the two people who looked like bullfights, Gu Jianguo frowned and cursed: "What are you doing? Fighting is going to get into trouble."
Qian Zhiyi rubbed his eyes and explained: "Scorekeeper, I was too impulsive. When I came back and saw Zhiqing Lin flipping through my things, I acted out of anger, but he was wrong first."
Lin Aiguo scratched his neck and cursed: "I suspect you stole my things."
Qian Zhiyi sneered and said: "Big guy, let me judge. I, Qian Zhiyi, have been in Shanghe Village for almost a year. Do I need some food and drink? Is it worth stealing from you?"
The others were right when they heard that Qian Zhiyi was not criticized for his work, and later asked a girl from the production team to help him with the work, but he really acted like he was not short of money.
They didn't know that Qian Zhiyi's money was about to bottom out, but they always had the impression that this was the case, and they all expressed that it was impossible.
Qian Zhiyi sneered and said, "As for your precious rice, you are willing to eat it a few times after you have been here for a few months. The ones hidden in Tibet may have been stolen by mice, but they want to rely on me instead."
"Even if the mouse ate the rice, could it be possible that it also stole my bag?" Lin Aiguo shouted unconvinced.
Unexpectedly, someone shouted outside at this time: "Hey, don't worry about food or not, Qian Zhiqing, what's the matter with your bellyband hidden under the quilt, are you messing with men and women?"
Qian Zhiyi's expression froze, and he held back his anger and spread out the rag: "This is not a woman's bellyband, it's just a veil made of rags. It's just that I'm not good at making it in a strange shape, so it looks a bit like it."
He spread out the rags, and everyone took a closer look, and they found that the cloth head looked a bit like a bellyband, but there was still a difference when they looked closely.
The members were disappointed. They thought they could still see the excitement, but it was a misunderstanding.
Gu Mingdong glanced at the seemingly disorderly and messy rags, his eyes darkened slightly.
However, Qian Zhiyi has quickly put away the handkerchief, his fingers are trembling.
Lin Aiguo saw that everyone stood by Qian Zhiyi's side, and jumped up angrily: "What about my food, I can't run away by myself, can I?"
Gu Mingdong said: "I have said so much just now. First of all, we can be sure that this thief is very familiar with the educated youth's office and knows where Lin Zhiqing hid the food, so he can steal the food quietly and live with the educated youth. The suspicion of everyone in the institute is indeed the biggest."
Lin Aiguo immediately looked suspiciously at the educated youths around him.
The educated youths quickly said: "We didn't do it, or if you searched, I didn't take anything from you."
It's also rare for the Du family brothers to speak: "From last night until now, we are either at work or with the big guys, there is no way we have time to steal things."
When he said this, other educated youths also testified for themselves.
Gu Mingdong nodded and said, "Then invite all the educated youths out first, and check them one by one to see if anyone has placed orders since last night and has time to steal things."
"Sure, I didn't do it anyway." Du Ming responded first.
The rest of the educated youths also stood up one after another, and started talking one by one.
"The two of us were together with Sister Zhenzhen last night. We cooked in one pot. After eating and washing the dishes, we went to the river to wash. After washing, we came back to sleep. We didn't go out after that. We can Testify against each other."
"Our two brothers have been together all the time. No one else can testify, but we ate out when Zhiqing Lin was cooking. Later, we ran into them when we came back from washing clothes. We even talked to him at that time."
"The same goes for the two of us. Lin Zhiqing, if you suspect anyone, you can't doubt us. We went to the river to wash clothes together."
Following the words of each educated youth, everyone's eyes fell on Qian Zhiyi again.
Qian Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that when he was looking at the pot last night, Wu Mengting went into their room alone. At that time, Xu Zhenzhen and the three female educated youths had already returned to the room, and the Du Ming brothers went to the river and hadn't returned yet. , Lin Aiguo and the others just left.
Will it be Mengting?Qian Zhi subconsciously felt that it was impossible.
But there was a voice in his heart telling him that Wu Mengting was the biggest suspect.
With thousands of thoughts in his heart, Qian Zhiyi heard himself say: "I have dinner with Wu Zhiqing, we are the last ones to cook, and everyone will come back after dinner, there is no time to steal anything."
That being said, everyone has evidence.
Gu Mingdong set his sights on Qian Zhiyi and asked, "Qian Zhiqing, are you sure you will always be with Wu Zhiqing?"
Qian Zhiyi's face turned cold: "Of course."
"That's strange, everyone has alibi." Gu Mingdong said.
In fact, it is the best way for Wu Wei and his wife to come forward to identify Wu Mengting, but once they come forward, Wu Mengting will not run away, but Wu Wei and his wife will definitely follow suit.
After all, Wu Mengting can say that all of this was instigated by the couple, and the food was indeed eaten by them.
Once the truth is revealed, Wu Mengting is unlucky, and they will be even more unlucky.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin had no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow their blood if they could completely get rid of the crime.
Gu Mingdong asked again: "Where did Wu Zhiqing go, and there is no one around right now?"
The three of Xu Zhenzhen shook their heads: "Wu Zhiqing didn't say anything, she never told us anything."
Compared with Xu Zhenzhen and the other three female educated youths, Wu Mengting prefers to get along with male educated youths. Since the arrival of two more female educated youths, Xu Zhenzhen has a companion, so she doesn't get close to Wu Mengting at all.
On the contrary, the wimpy old Liu's daughter-in-law who came to see the excitement said, "Wu Zhiqing asked my father-in-law for leave early in the morning, saying that he was going to the town to buy sanitary products."
Xu Zhenzhen said with a strange face: "Sanitary products?"
Doesn't Wu Mengting still have a lot of them, so I want to buy them again?
Gu Mingdong didn't ask further, and said, "Then let's draw a timeline now."
"You don't have to worry about what Lin Zhiqing did before cooking. Look back from when Lin Zhiqing took the food bag and started cooking."
"Lin Zhiqing is the second round cooker of the educated youth institute. When he cooks, the food bag is still there. There are two pots in the educated youth institute. The first round cooks are Xu Zhiqing and the Du brothers. Lin Zhiqing starts to cook. During the meal, Xu Zhiqing and the three had already finished their meal and came back after washing up."
"At this time, Lin Zhiqing was still at the door, so the suspicion of the three female educated youths can be directly ruled out."
"The next is the Du family brothers. When you come back from washing, educated youth Lin and the others are going to wash up after eating. We met and talked on the way, but after you return to the educated youth office, you have time to commit crimes."
The faces of the Du brothers darkened: "Qian Zhiqing and Wu Zhiqing were at the door when we came back. We entered the house and never came out until the next morning."
"Yeah, we have time to steal, but we don't have time to hide. Besides, the two of us earn a lot of work points, which is enough for us to eat, so why steal from him."
Fearing that they would be charged as thieves, the Du brothers went into the house, opened their locker, and took out a bag from it: "Look, everyone, we still have so much rice, there is no reason to steal from others."
The members had a very good impression of the Du brothers, nodded and said, "No, the Du brothers are hardworking and honest people, they won't steal anything."
Gu Mingdong nodded, and looked at Qian Zhiyi: "Qian Zhiqing, you were sitting at the door, can you be sure that the brothers of the Du family have never left the house?"
Qian Zhiyi said with a stiff face, "Yes, they didn't come out."
Gu Mingdong understood, and said: "Although the other two educated youths did not cook and eat with Lin Zhiqing, they went to the river to wash up together, and they came back together, and they never went out again after they came back."
Lin Aiguo said at this time: "It can't be them, we were together last night."
The two educated youths breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, Gu Mingdong's eyes fell on Qian Zhiyi: "Then only Zhiqing Qian and Zhiqing Wu are left."
Before Qian Zhiyi could refute, Lin Aiguo jumped out and said, "It can't be Wu Zhiqing, she is so pure and kind, how could she steal things."
Qian Zhiyi lowered his head and said, "At that time, Zhiqing Wu and I were cooking and eating at the door. When Zhiqing Lin and the others came back, we hadn't finished eating. After eating, we went to the river to wash our clothes and face. After we came back, we rested. gone."
Lin Aiguo glanced at him with some jealousy, but also said: "It's true, Qian Zhiqing hasn't gone out since he came back."
Gu Mingdong looked at the female educated youths, Xu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, and said, "Wu Zhiqing came back relatively late, but he really hasn't gone out since he came back."
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly asked a question: "Xu Zhiqing, are you sure that Qian Zhiqing and Wu Zhiqing have been cooking at the door after entering the house?"
Before the words fell, Qian Zhiyi said with a dark face: "Gu Mingdong, what do you mean, will Mengting and I be short of that little food?"
"Whether there is a lack or not has nothing to do with stealing or not." Gu Mingdong said lightly.
Qian Zhiyi gritted his teeth and said, "Meng Ting and I offended you when we first joined the production team, but you can't avenge yourself publicly."
Gu Mingdong asked strangely: "I just asked to clarify the situation at that time, why did you avenge yourself publicly?"
Qian Zhiyi said with a cold face: "You know it in your heart."
Gu Mingdong ignored him, and asked: "Three female educated youths, are you sure?"
The three of Xu Zhenzhen looked at each other, pursed their lips and said, "This... we just talked when we entered the room, and we don't know what happened outside."
"Oh, that's why I didn't see it." Gu Mingdong said.
Qian Zhiyi's heart turned cold, and he secretly thought something was wrong, he looked at Lin Aiguo: "Lin Zhiqing, even if you don't believe me, don't you still believe Mengting, she is not such a person."
Lin Aiguo frowned slightly.
There was a lot of discussion outside, and some women said loudly: "It's not those who stole the relationship for a long time, but the educated youths did it themselves."
"That's right, we don't know where those educated youths hid their things, let alone those few, they must have done it themselves."
"I really can't see it. Qian Zhiqing and Wu Zhiqing usually have such loose hands, but they can still do this kind of thing."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qian Zhiyi said with a cold face: "Lin Zhiqing, don't you want to say something?"
At this moment, the crowd suddenly became lively: "Wu Zhiqing is back."
The author has something to say: Ding, I have to go to work tomorrow
I don't want I don't want I don't want
As for Zheng Tong, he was so old that he staggered when he walked, no one dared to push him, for fear that someone would kill him.
Compared with Wu Wei and his wife, Zheng Tong was treated much better, at least he was not gagged.
The members of the production team also heard the commotion and came out one by one to watch the fun.
When passing by Widow Liu's house, Bai Xiaohua who was lying on the bed suddenly got up: "What's going on outside?"
Liu Dazhu was eating porridge with Erlang's legs crossed, coughing all the time: "What are you bawling about?"
Bai Xiaohua ignored him, walked out of the room and went to the door to have a look.
Seeing this, Widow Liu frowned, and reminded: "Xiao Hua, it's none of our business what's going on outside, you can just lie down and raise your baby. Isn't the lesson from last time not enough?"
Liu Dazhu rarely agrees with his mother: "Yes, listen to me."
A trace of anger flashed in Bai Xiaohua's eyes, and she pursed her lips: "I'm not a pig, I can only lie down and eat all day."
She can only lie on the bed all day long, and there is no entertainment in this day and age, not even eating more snacks, Bai Xiaohua feels like she is going crazy.
If he hadn't been thinking about that book, and believed in his heart that he married Liu Dazhu, there must have been some bad reasons. Maybe Liu Dazhu is the hero of this era, how could Bai Xiaohua get pregnant again.
But she didn't know that if she hadn't been pregnant again, Widow Liu and Liu Dazhu would have accommodated because they were worried about the child.
It's a pity that the widow and widow Liu didn't talk about it at the moment, but Bai Xiaohua became more rebellious: "I'll go and see."
After speaking, he simply opened the door and went out.
Widow Liu became anxious when she saw it: "Hey, why don't you listen to advice, Aihua, go over and see your sister-in-law quickly, don't let her run around, she is still restless when she is pregnant with a child."
Widow Liu's words are not pleasant, but she is really worried about the child in her heart. If any wife in the production team is pregnant with a child, she will not do any work, that is, her family.
Unexpectedly, Liu Aihua dawdled for a while, and only said: "Let the eldest brother go, how can my sister-in-law listen to me?"
Ever since she had the idea of separating the family, Liu Aihua started planning from the bottom of her heart.

Widow Liu didn't notice her daughter's thoughts, she thought it was the same at first hearing, but when she saw Liu Dazhu patronizing her meal, she didn't care at all that her daughter-in-law walked out of the door.
She kicked her son: "Go see your wife soon."
Liu Dazhu ate up the last bit of porridge, stuffed a mouthful of pickles into his mouth, and then got up and went out cursing: "This woman is restless."
Widow Liu was relieved when she saw her son following him, and sighed again: "I've been tossing around all day, and I still have to work in the afternoon."
Liu Aihua took the opportunity to say: "Mom, look at my sister-in-law, even if you really think about her, she won't appreciate you."
"Then what can I do? The daughter-in-law is already married, and there are children from our Liu family in her belly." Widow Liu obviously didn't understand what her daughter meant.
Liu Aihua pursed her lips and said, "Xiao Zhu is also the son of the Liu family."
Widow Liu's face was embarrassed for a moment, she glanced at her youngest son, and only picked up two chopsticks of pickled vegetables for them: "Okay, eat quickly, you have to go to work in the field after eating."
A circle of people outside the Educated Youth Center came to see the fun, Bai Xiaohua couldn't squeeze in, she clutched her stomach and cried out for pain, but as soon as others moved away, she slipped in.
The man whose seat was taken scolded: "Da Zhu's daughter-in-law must be out of her mind."
Someone next to him persuaded him: "She can't think clearly, I think you should stay away from her, otherwise if there is something wrong with her stomach, she won't blackmail you. Last time, the Wu educated youth sent things to their house a lot. "

Lin Aiguo was taken aback, another educated youth nodded and said, "Everyone is there, and we take turns doing the laundry."
Gu Mingdong laughed: "That's where the problem comes in. Since there are people around all the time, if a new face comes in, he must be discovered immediately. How can there be a chance to steal the food bag?"
Gu Jianguo realized what he meant: "Ah Dong, you mean that the person who stole is an acquaintance?"
Upon hearing this, several educated youths became nervous: "You can't talk nonsense, how could we steal something."
Gu Mingdong signaled them to take it easy: "Lin Zhiqing hid the food bag under the bed, everyone in the educated youth office knew about it, but where did those newcomers find out?"
"They have been inquiring about the Educated Youth Institute." Lin Aiguo insisted.
Gu Mingdong asked: "They asked who and what did they inquire about?"
A male educated youth patted his head, and said naively: "They asked about the names of all the educated youths, and they said they wanted to familiarize themselves with the situation of the production team, so I told them."
"What are they? What do you do with them?"
"Then I didn't expect that. They said that they need to be familiar with the production team to do better transformation."
Gu Mingdong interrupted their argument: "I only asked how many people and their names, didn't I ask about the specific situation?"
Educated Youth Han nodded: "That's all, I didn't ask other questions, I definitely can't tell them if I ask too many questions."
Gu Mingdong nodded and said: "Then they definitely don't know that Lin Zhiqing's food is hidden under the bed. If you want to steal something to enter the door, you have to rummage through it. Have you found any traces of rummaging in the house?"
"No."
"sure?"
"I'm sure, my things are put away in different categories, as long as someone has touched them, I will know." This is a clean freak, and he never lets other people touch his things. Because of this, he often quarreled with the educated youths.
His bed was very close to the door, and he could almost see it when he entered the door. If a thief flipped through it, it would be impossible to pass over his bed.
Gu Mingdong then said: "According to the current clues, the thief went straight to Zhiqing Lin's food bag after entering the door, took the bag and left, leaving nothing else at all."
Gu Jianguo couldn't help but said, "This is not right."
The onlookers also started talking about it. After all, if someone really wanted to steal something, since he didn't know what was in the house, how could he not rummage at all, unless the person knew where the things were hidden from the beginning.
"It doesn't look like those few did it."
"Who else could it be?"
"Our production team won't be producing thieves again, what a shame..."
Gu Mingdong suddenly pointed to a bed: "Whose bed is that?"
Several educated youths looked at it and said, "Qian Zhiyi's."
When Lin Aiguo first came here, he wanted to grab this bed with Qian Zhiyi, but Qian Zhiyi was not easy to provoke, so he turned back with a few words. The relationship between the two has not been good.
Gu Mingdong walked over and pointed to a bag of snacks on the bedside: "Look, Qian Zhiqing has a bag of snacks on the bedside. This kind of snacks are not only more expensive, but also more convenient to eat, and they are placed on the bright side. , why didn't the thief take it away?"
"Yeah, why didn't the thief take the dim sum?" Gu Jianguo said, "If you steal the rice, you have to cook it, and it's easy to be discovered. If you steal the dim sum and eat it, no one will find out."
"Could it be that the thief was blind and didn't see the dim sum?"
"You can find the rice under the bed, but can't he see the snacks on the bedside?"
"Then why only steal Lin educated youth, but not Qian educated youth?"
Everyone's faces became strange, obviously diverging in strange directions.
Lin Aiguo also frowned, and suddenly said: "He's an acquaintance, and he just stole my things. I think it's Qian Zhiyi who did it."
After talking, walk over to search Qian Zhiyi's bedroll.
The educated youth next to him hurriedly stopped him: "Educated Lin, let's wait for Zhiqing Qian to come back first, maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Lin Zhiqing, you are guessing wildly, without evidence."
Gu Mingdong had received news from Zheng Tong a long time ago, and knew that Qian Zhiyi couldn't have taken the food at all. Qian Zhiyi was a bit of a nobleman, but he wasn't at the end of his rope, as you can tell by looking at the snacks.
"If it's a misunderstanding, I'll find out after searching." Lin Aiguo had a grudge against Qian Zhiyi in the first place, so how could he let such a good opportunity go by.
Lin Aiguo rushed over and tore off the quilt, shaking off immediately.
Suddenly, something fell from the quilt with a clatter.
Before Lin Aiguo saw the things clearly, he exclaimed in surprise: "I found the evidence, it is he who stole my things."
Unexpectedly, when he picked it up, it was not the grain bag he thought, but a piece of cloth.
"What the hell is this?" Lin Aiguo shook his head twice, no matter how he looked at it, he thought it was a rag.
The surrounding women burst into laughter: "Hey, isn't this a woman's bellyband? Why is there such a thing in Qian Zhiqing's quilt?"
"How can a man have a bellyband? It can't be a friend of his?"
"Educated Qian Qian didn't come out after such a big commotion, who is he looking for?"
"Did you find out that Wu Zhiqing didn't come out either, so the two of them..."
Lin Aiguo's face froze, and he subconsciously tightened the bellyband.
At this moment, Qian Zhiyi came back, his face darkened when he saw the situation, he rushed over to snatch the bellyband, and punched Zhonglin Aiguo on the nose: "You fucking dare to mess with my things."
Before Lin Aiguo recovered his senses, he took a slap, and was immediately unconvinced and wanted to fight back: "I touched your things so much, did you steal my food?"
"Is it worth my stealing just what you picked and searched?" Qian Zhiyi almost went mad with anger.
Seeing that the two were fighting together, Gu Jianguo yelled sharply: "Pull them apart quickly."
The frightened educated youths started pulling people away, and the Du brothers couldn't stand on the sidelines any longer, and they all started to separate them.
Lin Aiguo was hit several times, and his face was bruised. Qian Zhiyi was better, but his eyes were also bruised.
Looking at the two people who looked like bullfights, Gu Jianguo frowned and cursed: "What are you doing? Fighting is going to get into trouble."
Qian Zhiyi rubbed his eyes and explained: "Scorekeeper, I was too impulsive. When I came back and saw Zhiqing Lin flipping through my things, I acted out of anger, but he was wrong first."
Lin Aiguo scratched his neck and cursed: "I suspect you stole my things."
Qian Zhiyi sneered and said: "Big guy, let me judge. I, Qian Zhiyi, have been in Shanghe Village for almost a year. Do I need some food and drink? Is it worth stealing from you?"
The others were right when they heard that Qian Zhiyi was not criticized for his work, and later asked a girl from the production team to help him with the work, but he really acted like he was not short of money.
They didn't know that Qian Zhiyi's money was about to bottom out, but they always had the impression that this was the case, and they all expressed that it was impossible.
Qian Zhiyi sneered and said, "As for your precious rice, you are willing to eat it a few times after you have been here for a few months. The ones hidden in Tibet may have been stolen by mice, but they want to rely on me instead."
"Even if the mouse ate the rice, could it be possible that it also stole my bag?" Lin Aiguo shouted unconvinced.
Unexpectedly, someone shouted outside at this time: "Hey, don't worry about food or not, Qian Zhiqing, what's the matter with your bellyband hidden under the quilt, are you messing with men and women?"
Qian Zhiyi's expression froze, and he held back his anger and spread out the rag: "This is not a woman's bellyband, it's just a veil made of rags. It's just that I'm not good at making it in a strange shape, so it looks a bit like it."
He spread out the rags, and everyone took a closer look, and they found that the cloth head looked a bit like a bellyband, but there was still a difference when they looked closely.
The members were disappointed. They thought they could still see the excitement, but it was a misunderstanding.
Gu Mingdong glanced at the seemingly disorderly and messy rags, his eyes darkened slightly.
However, Qian Zhiyi has quickly put away the handkerchief, his fingers are trembling.
Lin Aiguo saw that everyone stood by Qian Zhiyi's side, and jumped up angrily: "What about my food, I can't run away by myself, can I?"
Gu Mingdong said: "I have said so much just now. First of all, we can be sure that this thief is very familiar with the educated youth's office and knows where Lin Zhiqing hid the food, so he can steal the food quietly and live with the educated youth. The suspicion of everyone in the institute is indeed the biggest."
Lin Aiguo immediately looked suspiciously at the educated youths around him.
The educated youths quickly said: "We didn't do it, or if you searched, I didn't take anything from you."
It's also rare for the Du family brothers to speak: "From last night until now, we are either at work or with the big guys, there is no way we have time to steal things."
When he said this, other educated youths also testified for themselves.
Gu Mingdong nodded and said, "Then invite all the educated youths out first, and check them one by one to see if anyone has placed orders since last night and has time to steal things."
"Sure, I didn't do it anyway." Du Ming responded first.
The rest of the educated youths also stood up one after another, and started talking one by one.
"The two of us were together with Sister Zhenzhen last night. We cooked in one pot. After eating and washing the dishes, we went to the river to wash. After washing, we came back to sleep. We didn't go out after that. We can Testify against each other."
"Our two brothers have been together all the time. No one else can testify, but we ate out when Zhiqing Lin was cooking. Later, we ran into them when we came back from washing clothes. We even talked to him at that time."
"The same goes for the two of us. Lin Zhiqing, if you suspect anyone, you can't doubt us. We went to the river to wash clothes together."
Following the words of each educated youth, everyone's eyes fell on Qian Zhiyi again.
Qian Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that when he was looking at the pot last night, Wu Mengting went into their room alone. At that time, Xu Zhenzhen and the three female educated youths had already returned to the room, and the Du Ming brothers went to the river and hadn't returned yet. , Lin Aiguo and the others just left.
Will it be Mengting?Qian Zhi subconsciously felt that it was impossible.
But there was a voice in his heart telling him that Wu Mengting was the biggest suspect.
With thousands of thoughts in his heart, Qian Zhiyi heard himself say: "I have dinner with Wu Zhiqing, we are the last ones to cook, and everyone will come back after dinner, there is no time to steal anything."
That being said, everyone has evidence.
Gu Mingdong set his sights on Qian Zhiyi and asked, "Qian Zhiqing, are you sure you will always be with Wu Zhiqing?"
Qian Zhiyi's face turned cold: "Of course."
"That's strange, everyone has alibi." Gu Mingdong said.
In fact, it is the best way for Wu Wei and his wife to come forward to identify Wu Mengting, but once they come forward, Wu Mengting will not run away, but Wu Wei and his wife will definitely follow suit.
After all, Wu Mengting can say that all of this was instigated by the couple, and the food was indeed eaten by them.
Once the truth is revealed, Wu Mengting is unlucky, and they will be even more unlucky.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin had no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow their blood if they could completely get rid of the crime.
Gu Mingdong asked again: "Where did Wu Zhiqing go, and there is no one around right now?"
The three of Xu Zhenzhen shook their heads: "Wu Zhiqing didn't say anything, she never told us anything."
Compared with Xu Zhenzhen and the other three female educated youths, Wu Mengting prefers to get along with male educated youths. Since the arrival of two more female educated youths, Xu Zhenzhen has a companion, so she doesn't get close to Wu Mengting at all.
On the contrary, the wimpy old Liu's daughter-in-law who came to see the excitement said, "Wu Zhiqing asked my father-in-law for leave early in the morning, saying that he was going to the town to buy sanitary products."
Xu Zhenzhen said with a strange face: "Sanitary products?"
Doesn't Wu Mengting still have a lot of them, so I want to buy them again?
Gu Mingdong didn't ask further, and said, "Then let's draw a timeline now."
"You don't have to worry about what Lin Zhiqing did before cooking. Look back from when Lin Zhiqing took the food bag and started cooking."
"Lin Zhiqing is the second round cooker of the educated youth institute. When he cooks, the food bag is still there. There are two pots in the educated youth institute. The first round cooks are Xu Zhiqing and the Du brothers. Lin Zhiqing starts to cook. During the meal, Xu Zhiqing and the three had already finished their meal and came back after washing up."
"At this time, Lin Zhiqing was still at the door, so the suspicion of the three female educated youths can be directly ruled out."
"The next is the Du family brothers. When you come back from washing, educated youth Lin and the others are going to wash up after eating. We met and talked on the way, but after you return to the educated youth office, you have time to commit crimes."
The faces of the Du brothers darkened: "Qian Zhiqing and Wu Zhiqing were at the door when we came back. We entered the house and never came out until the next morning."
"Yeah, we have time to steal, but we don't have time to hide. Besides, the two of us earn a lot of work points, which is enough for us to eat, so why steal from him."
Fearing that they would be charged as thieves, the Du brothers went into the house, opened their locker, and took out a bag from it: "Look, everyone, we still have so much rice, there is no reason to steal from others."
The members had a very good impression of the Du brothers, nodded and said, "No, the Du brothers are hardworking and honest people, they won't steal anything."
Gu Mingdong nodded, and looked at Qian Zhiyi: "Qian Zhiqing, you were sitting at the door, can you be sure that the brothers of the Du family have never left the house?"
Qian Zhiyi said with a stiff face, "Yes, they didn't come out."
Gu Mingdong understood, and said: "Although the other two educated youths did not cook and eat with Lin Zhiqing, they went to the river to wash up together, and they came back together, and they never went out again after they came back."
Lin Aiguo said at this time: "It can't be them, we were together last night."
The two educated youths breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, Gu Mingdong's eyes fell on Qian Zhiyi: "Then only Zhiqing Qian and Zhiqing Wu are left."
Before Qian Zhiyi could refute, Lin Aiguo jumped out and said, "It can't be Wu Zhiqing, she is so pure and kind, how could she steal things."
Qian Zhiyi lowered his head and said, "At that time, Zhiqing Wu and I were cooking and eating at the door. When Zhiqing Lin and the others came back, we hadn't finished eating. After eating, we went to the river to wash our clothes and face. After we came back, we rested. gone."
Lin Aiguo glanced at him with some jealousy, but also said: "It's true, Qian Zhiqing hasn't gone out since he came back."
Gu Mingdong looked at the female educated youths, Xu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, and said, "Wu Zhiqing came back relatively late, but he really hasn't gone out since he came back."
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly asked a question: "Xu Zhiqing, are you sure that Qian Zhiqing and Wu Zhiqing have been cooking at the door after entering the house?"
Before the words fell, Qian Zhiyi said with a dark face: "Gu Mingdong, what do you mean, will Mengting and I be short of that little food?"
"Whether there is a lack or not has nothing to do with stealing or not." Gu Mingdong said lightly.
Qian Zhiyi gritted his teeth and said, "Meng Ting and I offended you when we first joined the production team, but you can't avenge yourself publicly."
Gu Mingdong asked strangely: "I just asked to clarify the situation at that time, why did you avenge yourself publicly?"
Qian Zhiyi said with a cold face: "You know it in your heart."
Gu Mingdong ignored him, and asked: "Three female educated youths, are you sure?"
The three of Xu Zhenzhen looked at each other, pursed their lips and said, "This... we just talked when we entered the room, and we don't know what happened outside."
"Oh, that's why I didn't see it." Gu Mingdong said.
Qian Zhiyi's heart turned cold, and he secretly thought something was wrong, he looked at Lin Aiguo: "Lin Zhiqing, even if you don't believe me, don't you still believe Mengting, she is not such a person."
Lin Aiguo frowned slightly.
There was a lot of discussion outside, and some women said loudly: "It's not those who stole the relationship for a long time, but the educated youths did it themselves."
"That's right, we don't know where those educated youths hid their things, let alone those few, they must have done it themselves."
"I really can't see it. Qian Zhiqing and Wu Zhiqing usually have such loose hands, but they can still do this kind of thing."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qian Zhiyi said with a cold face: "Lin Zhiqing, don't you want to say something?"
At this moment, the crowd suddenly became lively: "Wu Zhiqing is back."
The author has something to say: Ding, I have to go to work tomorrow
I don't want I don't want I don't want
