Chapter 20 : The Li family was surrounded

This matter is not a trivial one, no matter how you look at it.

If Li Xueqiu can’t clearly explain where those items came from, then it raises the suspicion of having dug into society’s underbelly.

At this moment, the Li family realized the seriousness of the situation.

Seeing Li Xueqiu’s pale face, Li Dapeng’s legs began to tremble.

“Xue…Xueqiu, quickly explain to the captain that the good things were sent by others to repay their kindness!”

The daughter had always told them this.

Although Li Dapeng vaguely felt that the excuse was full of holes, the temptation of the meat in front of him was too great to resist.

At first, the whole family trembled with fear, but after a year, they had tasted all the delicacies in the world, and others just envied their family, but no one stepped forward to claim that their meat had unknown origins.

Gradually, the family became bolder.

They were unwilling to wake up from the dream of endless rice and meat.

At this moment, it was as though a beautiful dream was suddenly shattered. The Li family woke up from their dream, only to see pairs of questioning eyes.

“I…I…”

Li Xueqiu’s bloodless lips moved a few times, but she still couldn’t come up with a person who could provide so much meat.

Because the meat had originally been taken from the space, and she could take it out at will now. But the last bit of reason told her that she couldn’t reveal that, otherwise, she might be exposed!

After all, a person who could clear out so many things, even in the future, would be a powerful force!

Suddenly, she thought of something and forced herself to calm down.

“I found the gem by accident at the scrap station. I explained everything clearly at the Public Security Bureau yesterday. If you have any questions, you can go to the Public Security Bureau to ask. Besides, if I had really taken something, how could I have come back yesterday without ever mentioning the meat?”

Li Xueqiu made up her mind to blur the issue.

Hearing this, the onlookers immediately felt it made sense. After all, it wasn’t unheard of for someone to find good things at a scrap station.

Moreover, she had indeed been released yesterday.

Seeing that everyone’s expressions had relaxed, the Li family couldn’t help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, how could they still remember to look for…

What about the place? I wish I could grow wings and fly back home.

But some members didn’t care about the gems or jewels. After all, those things weren’t for eating or drinking. What they were concerned about was where the meat that the Li family ate every meal came from.

Someone, anxious, asked directly.

The voice was loud, and everyone nearby could hear it clearly. Even if Li Xueqiu wanted to pretend she didn’t hear it, she couldn’t.

The Li family, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn’t help but shake again.

The most feared thing still happened.

Didn’t they know that the source of the meat was suspicious? But who could refuse to eat meat at every meal?

At this moment, several sons and daughters-in-law couldn’t help but resent Liu Guimei in their hearts. It was all her fault for being nosy. The younger sister clearly said that she didn’t need to come to the Shen family.

Now that the matter had escalated, how should it end?

Thinking of this, they forgot their former arrogance.

And seeing that Li Xueqiu was about to be forced into a desperate situation, her will to survive was completely awakened.

Forcing herself to calm down, she said in a cold voice “My father just said that I saved someone two years ago, and he insisted on giving us something. What can I do?”

Li Xueqiu had spread the story that she saved a remarkable person. First, to create a source for her things, and second, to let others know that someone was protecting her family.

Of course, she did save a person, but her power was not that great. Or rather, no one in the entire country could make her family eat meat every meal. But at this moment, she could only try her best.

She just hoped that they could be a little afraid of the person behind her and stop talking about this matter.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the members who had been skeptical just now showed hesitation on their faces again.

They had heard that Li Xueqiu had saved a remarkable person.

Maybe the lives of the big people above weren’t as tough as theirs?

After all, a local rich man in ancient times could live in luxury, and a big shot in Beijing was equivalent to a court official in ancient times. It wasn’t surprising that they lived a better life.

Seeing that they were scared again, Li Xueqiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn’t stay in Shuiqiao Brigade any longer. As long as she could escape, she would sneak through the port city immediately.

She had countless things…

With money and treasures, and beauty that was not inferior to that of a star, she didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to make a name for herself.

Li Xueqiu had a good idea, and she had even begun to look forward to becoming the woman of the big brother who could call the wind and rain in Gangcheng.

But her clumsy words could only fool the ignorant villagers, and could not fool Su Ranran at all, not to mention Shen He who was still serving in the army. The army’s food is the best in the whole country. After all, only when you are full can you have the strength to fight.

But even they can’t eat meat every meal. It’s not that the country doesn’t allocate the money, but it really doesn’t have it.

He had been a soldier for so long and had been to many places. How could he not know what the current conditions of the country were?

But Li Xueqiu was already immersed in the joy of fooling people. Seeing that no one was talking, she pulled the Li family members to leave. But before she could turn around, she heard a cold voice behind her.

“The country has just experienced a war and is in ruins. Even the Chairman can only improve the food once a week. Who did you save to allow your family to eat ten pounds of meat every day? Is it legal for him to do this?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had just been scared suddenly woke up, as if from a dream, and finally realized that something was wrong.

Jiang plundered the wealth of the entire country and hid on the broken island, leaving them with only an empty shell.

The Prime Minister said that in order to ensure that everyone could eat meat and avoid a few people buying more, the system of buying things with tickets was introduced.

They might not believe others, but how could the Chairman and the Prime Minister not believe it?

The members who came to their senses immediately surrounded the Li family.

“Don’t run. Tell me clearly, who is sending you meat every day?”

“Is the person who is sending you meat corrupt?”

“Damn, I knew someone was stealing from the social righteousness! Otherwise, why do we work so hard every day but can’t even have a meal of meat? It turns out it was stolen by you pests!”

As soon as these words came out, the anger of the masses was directly ignited!

“Today you must hand over the corrupt person and give us an explanation!”

Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, Li Xueqiu almost fainted!

“I didn’t steal from the social righteousness. I am innocent. Those are all my things!”
