Chapter 6

All the clothes in the closet were taken out and turned over.

There were things thrown everywhere on the ground, and there was no place to step.

The scene was like being robbed, which made Zhao Nianhui frown.

The girl named Xiaoyue had red eyes, obviously having cried.

At this moment, she was being supported by two girls, and the questions were spoken by Shen Meizhu, one of them.

There were a total of ten educated youth who went to the countryside, six men and four women.

In the compound, there were only Zhao Nianhui and Shen Meizhu.

The other two girls were named Ye Xiaoyue and Tian Fang.

Usually Ye Xiaoyue is close to Shen Meiju.

Tian Fang is not much of a talker, but she is also a member of the small group.

The original owner was the one isolated by them.

Now that Ye Xiaoyue’s things were lost, she naturally suspected Zhao Nianhui.

“If you took it, hand it over quickly.”

“We all came here together, and we don’t want to embarrass you.”

Shen Meizhu tried to persuade him earnestly.

They looked so affectionate and sisterly, and it seemed like they were really worried about her.

“No.” Zhao Nianhui replied with her head down.

“I know you’re short of money recently and you’re used to spending lavishly in the city, but you can’t take Xiaoyue’s money!”

Shen Meizhu’s eyes flashed, inadvertently revealing that Zhao Nianhui was very short of money now.

This made Ye Xiaoyue feel like she had caught something.

He started shouting loudly in the yard.

“Someone come, someone stole money, come and catch the thief.”

She has always been hot-tempered and not afraid of causing trouble.

At this moment, he was sure that Zhao Nianhui had stolen the money but she refused to admit it.

He yelled at the top of his voice, wishing he could call everyone over.

After a while, the male educated youth living in the next yard came over.

After the educated youth went to the countryside, the commune assigned them adjacent courtyards.

The courtyard wall is not high, so if you speak louder in this courtyard, the people on the other side can hear it clearly.

Several male educated youth came over, and the leader was Zheng Zhen.

He asked in a serious tone: “Where is the thief?”

The villagers behind him also held weapons such as rakes and forks.

Ye Xiaoyue had not expected such a large-scale mobilization.

She was just looking for an excuse to call everyone over to discuss the matter.

I didn’t expect it to become such a big fuss, and I looked a little embarrassed.

But when he thought about the money being stolen, he suddenly felt justified.

Pointing at Zhao Nianhui in an arrogant tone, he said, “It’s her, Zhao Nianhui.”

After saying this, Zheng Zhen’s face showed some displeasure.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Nianhui is not that kind of person.”

No one expected such maintenance.

But remember that they were an engaged couple.

It is only natural that Zheng Zhen would stand up to defend his fiancée.

Shen Meizhu’s eyes darkened, and she walked to Zheng Zhen with a hesitant tone.

“Brother Zheng, there are some things I don’t know whether I should say or not.”

Zheng Zhen raised his eyebrows, his eyes puzzled, “What are you going to say?”

She looked troubled, as if she was still struggling with something.

This made Zheng Zhen very puzzled.

He knew Qingmei’s character well. She was weak and would never take the initiative to cause trouble.

But this girl named Ye Xiaoyue likes to bully Zhao Nianhui on weekdays.

“Just tell me. If you don’t explain it clearly now, it will be worse for Nianhui.” Zheng Zhen thought Shen Meiju didn’t understand, so he explained it to her.

This made Shen Meizhu’s eyes freeze for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhen still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart.

Then all her plans these days would be in vain.

But soon, Shen Meizhu came up with a solution.

Zheng Zhen is such a face-conscious person that he would never provoke his fiancée who made him look bad.

She sighed slightly and said helplessly, “Well, I know Xiaohui doesn’t have much money on her, but I didn’t expect her to steal Xiaoyue’s money. I saw her rummaging through her parcels before.”

Zheng Zhen was unsure of what to do now.

He believed in Zhao Nianhui’s character, but he also didn’t think Shen Meizhu would lie.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Shen Meizhu lowered her head and smiled.

Everyone’s eyes also turned gossipy.

I think after tonight, Zhao Nianhui’s name will spread beyond the village.

Ye Xiaoyue immediately felt gloating.

“I say, why not call the captain and let him judge the case.”

“Someone who doesn’t know what’s good for him should be put in jail and reflect on himself.”

The person who had been silent all of a sudden spoke up, “Do you have any evidence?”

Her calm eyes swept across the people in the yard.

“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. If there’s no evidence, it’s better not to say too much.”

Ye Xiaoyue gritted her teeth in anger. Indeed, she did not find any evidence.

A lost wallet and the money inside it.

But this does not mean that Zhao Nianhui did not steal anything.

“We had a conflict before. You must have taken it. You threw away the wallet and hid the money. As for where you hid it, only you know.”

Ye Xiaoyue expressed her speculation.

She never lost any money.

The loss this time must be due to the people in the yard.

Shen Meizhu and Tian Fang are both her good friends.

Zhao Nianhui is most likely the one who stole the money.

The more Ye Xiaoyue thought about it, the more it made sense.

“According to what you said, all three people in the yard are suspects. You only searched my things. I’m afraid that’s not appropriate. Besides, you said that we had a conflict, so how do I know if you deliberately framed me?” Zhao Nianhui retorted.

Her words were clear and logical, and also made sense.

For a moment, several people were arguing.

Until the production team leader’s voice came from outside.

“What are you arguing about? You think you’re not tired from working during the day, and you’re still restless in the middle of the night.”

“Whoever took the money, please come forward and let me catch you. I won’t let you go if I catch you.”

Jiang Guangsheng kept muttering to himself with an impatient look on his face.

These educated youth had a lot of things to do, but he couldn’t just ignore them.

If they really make trouble in town, it might affect this year’s selection.

He was still hoping to be awarded the title of an advanced production team.

We can’t let these people ruin it.

When she saw Qin Hongyuan, Zhao Nianhui knew that he was the production team leader he had found.

The production team leader still has some authority, after all, he is in charge of all the trivial matters of the entire village.

It can be said that he was a minor official that ordinary people and educated youth could come into contact with.

Ye Xiaoyue no longer dared to shout about sending people to jail.

There was still a look of unconvinced on his face.

There was only one person in the crowd who looked nervous.

His eyes were a little evasive and his expression was not very natural.

Secretly, he seems to be very concerned about the development of events.

After noticing who she was, Zhao Nianhui’s face froze.

I didn’t notice anyone before, but now that I saw him I felt something was wrong.

With her personality, she never cares about such things.

But today she was acting out of character. Could it be that she was the one who stole the money?

At this time, Qin Hongyuan, who was following the production team leader, spoke.

“Captain Jiang, since we haven’t found the stolen goods yet, shouldn’t we search all of their bags? What if they put them in the wrong place by accident? Wouldn’t that mean we’re wrongly accusing a good person? Even if we don’t find the stolen goods, it would prove that the thief was not in the educated youth’s yard.” He said indifferently.
