Chapter: 122 Shen Zhenzhu

With Lin Weiwan’s consent, the public security comrades, accompanied by the village head’s wife and Wang Qiaoyun, searched Lin Weiwan’s house and the area outside the house again.

It was getting dark and colder at night. Lin Weiwan stood in the yard in his military coat and watched.

Finally, the relevant people went to the village committee office, and everyone else dispersed.

“Zhou Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing is innocent. We searched everywhere and did not see your wallet or money.

As for what you said about seeing Lin Zhiqing picking up something, please verify with me accurately. Did you see Lin Zhiqing pick up your wallet with your own eyes?

Or did you only see her bending down to pick up something? Please answer my questions truthfully.”

Public Security Tang had come to Dongsheng Village last time and met Lin Weiwan and others. He naturally knew Zhou Rongrong in front of him.

He was also the one who investigated Zhou Rongrong and the Zhou brothers.

Now, for this farce, whether subjectively or objectively, he believed that it was Zhou Zhiqing who caused the trouble.

Zhou Rongrong stared at the ground and took a deep breath. “I saw her pick up the wallet. It was a little far away. Judging from the pattern, it was my wallet.”

“Then why didn’t you stop Lin Zhiqing’s behavior at that time? There were so many people outside. If you shouted, someone would come to help?

Why did you choose to find the village chief and everyone to denounce Lin Zhiqing later? Zhou Zhiqing, please speak.”

Tang Gongan stared at Zhou Rongrong’s every move with sharp eyes.

“I… I… I was afraid that I saw it wrong, and I was not sure… It was later that I found that my wallet was lost, and I thought of Lin Weiwan picking up something.”

Zhou Rongrong stuttered to explain her behavior.

“But according to our investigation, Lin Zhiqing did not bend down to pick up anything at that time, and two villagers can prove that Lin Zhiqing left first after talking to you.

And after she went back, she did not go near the house to go anywhere else. She was always processing vegetables. We have searched the places she passed by, including the cellar. What do you say?”

Tang Gongan slapped the table hard, making a snapping sound.

“Tell the truth. You have framed the orphan of a martyr. The circumstances are serious. You don’t want to get well. All the brothers of the Zhou family are now undergoing reform. You also want to go in and reunite with them, right?”

“No, my wallet is really lost. It’s really lost. Woo… Woo…”

Zhou Rongrong was so angry that she was crying. It was more than 200 yuan… She had been frugal since she came to the countryside and was reluctant to spend it. Now it’s all gone…

Her lips moved slightly, and she wanted to hand over the wallet. That person took it… But she couldn’t say it.

If she said it, it would be hard to explain… She couldn’t talk about the delay…

“It’s no use for you to cry. Tell me, what happened at that time, and why did you frame Lin Zhiqing for stealing your wallet.” Public Security Tang continued to interrogate Zhou Rongrong.

“I… I may have misremembered. My wallet is lost. I only had contact with Aunt Wang and Lin Weiwan on this trip. My wallet was still there when I talked to Aunt Wang.

My wallet was lost after I talked to Lin Weiwan, so I thought she picked it up. I… I lied in a hurry… I didn’t see Lin Weiwan picking up the wallet… But it was not long before I thought she stole it.

In order to find my wallet, I could only search her house. They also searched my body and house. My wallet was really gone.”

Zhou Rongrong could only admit that she lied because she lost her wallet and was anxious to find it back.

She resolutely refused to admit that she was wrong to frame Lin Weiwan.

Public Security Tang looked at Zhou Rongrong’s rogue appearance and his back teeth squeaked.

If she wasn’t pregnant, he would really send her to a farm for reform for a period of time.

She quickly wrote a police report and an interrogation certificate. Thinking of Zhou Rongrong’s bad deeds, the wallet was probably hidden by her.

“We have already checked with Lin Zhiqing. We didn’t find your wallet, and you don’t have any evidence to prove that it was Lin Zhiqing who did it. You just put the blame on Lin Zhiqing.

We will let the village chief follow up on the wallet. Even if you really lost your wallet, a large part of it may not be found.

But you must apologize publicly in Dongsheng Village for Lin Zhiqing’s matter. Considering that you are pregnant, we will not take you back to the city for ideological education.

As for your agreement, since it is notarized by the official seal of Dongsheng Village, please fulfill your promise.”

Public Security Tang glanced at the village chief Lin Zhiqing and several members in the room, and said to Zhou Rongrong.

Zhou Rongrong collapsed in the chair after hearing this, her hands shaking with anger.

What does it mean to fulfill a promise? Just let it go just because her money was lost?

When Zhou Rongrong returned home, she saw that Shen Zhenzhu had already made her quilt.

“Why are you here?” Zhou Rongrong opened the box, took out two pieces of peach cakes, and poured herself a bowl of warm water before sitting on the edge of the kang and eating at the kang table.

She was not humble at all to this sister-in-law who she could only look up to before.

Shen Zhenzhu glanced at Zhou Rongrong, without giving in, and without arguing, she turned around and took out her bag and opened it.

She took out a piece of chocolate from it and slowly opened it, eating it bit by bit. There were less than five pieces left in the bag, which were bought before the family had no problems.

Zhou Rongrong looked at Shen Zhenzhu sitting there and eating chocolate silently, and licked the peach cake residue at the corner of her mouth.

“You must be hungry after sitting in the car for a whole day. I’ll make you some corn paste later.”

Zhou Rongrong wanted to make something good for Shen Zhenzhu, of course, she thought so after seeing Shen Zhenzhu eating chocolate.

I remember that Shen Shili also gave her this in Hai City before. She didn’t have the money to buy it herself.

But now there is only cornmeal at home, and there is no way to make any fancy things.

Shen Zhenzhu smiled back when she heard Zhou Rongrong’s words, “Okay, thank you for troubling my sister-in-law.”

Zhou Rongrong could only smile back at Shen Zhenzhu awkwardly and quickly eat the peach cake in her hand.

“You haven’t told me yet, why did you go to the countryside too.” Zhou Rongrong certainly didn’t forget the question she asked.

Could it be that Shen Shili was worried about her and asked his sister-in-law to take care of her as a pregnant woman? Zhou Rongrong thought so.

Shen Zhenzhu looked at the simple mud house in the dim light of kerosene lamp, with disgust in her eyes.

“My brother found a job in the city, and I have graduated. I have to go to the countryside without a job or marriage.”

Shen Zhenzhu said lightly, and suddenly remembered Lin Weiwan whom she saw this evening.

When did Lin Weiwan become so beautiful? The original Lin Weiwan was beautiful, but now Lin Weiwan is more beautiful.

That kind of beauty is beauty without a single flaw from the inside out. The skin is white and smooth, and the tender appearance seems to be able to squeeze out water.

The already delicate and beautiful facial features became more lively, and she glanced at the thin and sallow Zhou Rongrong.

Shen Zhenzhu couldn’t help but sigh. I really don’t know how her eldest brother was blind.
