Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Last Night’s Calculation Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Last Night’s Calculation Indeed, Zhao Tianxiang had finished eating.
“Big Brother, take this back for Daya and the others to eat; it’s some food my parents sent me.”
“Sister-in-law, I can’t accept this.”
“Uncle, give it to Xiao Mao.”
“Just keep it, Big Brother, I still have some.”
Zhao Tianxiang was a bit hesitant, “Then, thank you, Sister-in-law.”
He carried the can of biscuits back to the Zhao Family’s home.
“It’s from Laosan’s Wife.”
Sister-in-law Zhao looked at the can of biscuits, stunned for a moment; she knew these biscuits were not cheap.
Since when had the Sister-in-law become so generous?
The day before last it was wild grapes, yesterday was mooncakes, and today it’s small biscuits.
Sister-in-law Zhao had always been envious of this co-sister-in-law; her brother-in-law really cherished her, held her in high regard, even moved out to live for her and seldom let her do any fieldwork.
“I’m going to work now.”
Sister-in-law Zhao put everything away and also went to work.
The matter got distorted as it spread.
“Did Wang Laowu really go to Educated Youth Yun’s house to steal?”
“He’s been sent to the Public Security – it must be true.”
“But why did Wang Laowu not steal from other houses? Why go to the Educated Youth Yun’s house?”
“I think it’s not just about stealing.”
“I think so too. Educated Youth Yun looks like a temptress; when she first came to the countryside, many young men in the team wanted to marry her. Eventually, it was Laosan who married her, thinking she would be content and peaceful. Now with Laosan not at home, she’s started flirting with other men.”
“You guys, lower your voices, if Educated Youth Yun hears you talking about her , she might get so angry that she’ll come to your house with a stick to beat you. You don’t know what she did to Wang Laowu last night, he was barely breathing.”
Upon hearing this, many women gasped.
“You forgot, Laosan used to fight a lot in the team before. Educated Youth Yun learned a thing or two after marrying him.”
Fearing actually getting beaten, the previously lively group stopped discussing this.
Meanwhile, Xiaoxiao was planning to have breakfast and then go collect bamboo shoots when someone came to her door.
It was a young team member.
“Educated Youth Yun, the Public Security wants you to come over.”
The visitor was familiar with Tianlei from his time in the militia.
Though it had been disbanded, the team leader still called on them when needed.
Xiaoxiao looked at her two kids, “Can I bring the kids with me?”
“Of course, we’ll go to town by ox cart.”
Xiaoxiao went back inside to get some food for Da Bao and Xiao Bao, carrying a fabric bag.
The mother and her two kids locked the door and then rode the ox cart to town.
Wang Laowu had been taken to the health clinic but when he woke up, he was interrogated.
Wang Laowu implicated Educated Youth Li.
The Public Security went directly to the Educated Youth Institution and took Educated Youth Li, causing him to show a panicked expression. Meanwhile, Xiaoxiao and her children were also brought along, and the two groups coincidentally met on the way.
Educated Youth Li only stared at Xiaoxiao, not saying anything, but his expression wasn’t good.
The scheme from last night, having caused Wang Laowu to be trapped.
And now, Wang Laowu had dragged her into this.
Educated Youth Li knew, as long as she denied knowing anything, she would be fine; she was going back to the city anyway.
She wasn’t afraid of Wang Laowu’s family realizing and seeking revenge.
Now with Laosan not around and Wang Laowu in trouble, the Wang Family would certainly seek revenge on Xiaoxiao, they might even blame Xiaoxiao for seducing Wang Laowu – even going as far as to slander her.
She was waiting to watch the drama unfold.
