life struggle

Several villages are front and back villages, and the distance is relatively close. Wu Xiaojun and Wu Xiaomei came to Sanwa's house soon, and happened to see Sanwa and his parents. Wu Xiaomei asked angrily, "Sanwa, what are you doing?" Why did you steal my books?"

Sanwa said inexplicably, "In broad daylight, how can you spit on people? Who stole your books? I have never been to your house. This is wronging a good person. 【 】"

Wu Xiaojun looked sternly and said, "Sanba, I solemnly warn you, you know best whether you have been wronged or not. More than 30 people here know that you brought my books to the Hangzhou construction site. They have read them too. The book with my name on it is the most powerful evidence. If you want to deny it, you can’t deny it. You must be honest and clear where you got my book. If you look down and don’t see you, please make it clear and let me understand. You bring me back the other books, and I won’t go into it anymore, as if nothing happened. Otherwise, I will report the case directly to the police station, and then don’t worry about it. Blame me for not giving you any favors. There are two roads, you can choose one arbitrarily."

Sanwa's father heard the whole story, and said sharply, "Son, tell me what's going on."

Sanwa was full of grievances and said with a sad face, "Father, I really didn't steal this book from his house. I went to their village to play at Jinjin's house this spring and last year. I saw a lot of novels in the cement tank in Jinjin's house, so I borrowed eight of them by the way. I took it back to read, and before I finished reading the book, I followed others to work on a construction site in Hangzhou, so I took it with me, it was as simple as that, and I definitely didn’t steal it.”

The father of the third child scolded, "Is the Qianjin you are talking about the third son of the Gousheng family? Are you sure you borrowed it from his family? If you dare to tell lies, I will break your legs."

Sanwa lowered her head and said bluntly, "It's all true. If you don't believe me, go to Qianjin's house now. I still remember where I got it. If it hasn't been moved, there are still many inside."

Wu Xiaojun said, "As for whether you stole it or not, no one can say for sure now. But if you can't find it in Qianjin's house, you can't get away from it. You can go with us to see Wu Fachen, the village party secretary, and let him Go to Jinjin's house with us, so as not to be bitten back by others saying that we searched other people's homes without permission."

The third baby's father said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you are still thoughtful, you should hurry up and eliminate the suspicion of the baby as soon as possible."

When the three met Wu Fachen, the secretary of the village party committee, Wu Xiaojun told the whole story. Wu Fachen felt that the matter was no small matter, so he readily agreed.

The four came to Qianjin's house, and Qianjin's mother was making lunch. Seeing a few people coming over suddenly, she was at a loss for a moment, and Wu Fachen asked, "Ma'am, are Uncle Dog Leftover and Qianjin at home? I have something to do with them."

Qianqin's mother said in surprise, "His father has gone to a place. After eating breakfast, Qianqin went to play mahjong somewhere and hasn't come back yet."

While Secretary Wu was talking to Qianjin's mother, Sanwa went straight to the back room where Qianjin lived, followed by Wu Xiaojun and Wu Xiaomei.The room was very dark and humid, with a pungent smell. Sanwa bent down and touched the cement tank in the corner, took out a few woven phosphate fertilizer bags, and said with a straight face, "Look, there is something here. Lots of books."

Wu Xiaojun covered his nose with one hand and flipped through the pages with the other. He found more than 30 books, all of which were his own. Some difficult books, such as "Popular Romance of the History of the Five Dynasties", "Popular Romance of Qing History", "Romance of a Hundred Years of Heroes", Most of "Lin Gong'an" and "Yu Shaobao Romance" have become moldy, and other storytelling such as "Hu Yang He Bing", "Bao Gong'an", and "Hu Jia Jiang" no longer exist.Wu Xiaomei reached out to help, and took out 25 books, including the ID card of the military wife, Xiaojun's elementary school graduation certificate, and junior high school graduation album. They were more than one meter high.

Wu Xiaomei said, "Granny of the leftover dog, Master Fachen, look, these books are all printed with the name of the effective army. This is my mother's ID card, Xiaojun's primary school graduation certificate, and effective military junior high school graduation year book, which has There are many photos of classmates. This is Qian Qianjin who stole it from my house, let’s see what to do about it.”

Martial Law Minister said to Qianjin's mother seriously, "Ma'am, you have seen it all, you must tell Uncle Gousheng and Qianjin, let them both come to my house this afternoon, and let them know how the things from Xiaojun's house got to your house. Let me tell you clearly, once this matter is reported to the police station, you will be in big trouble."

Seeing all this, Qianjin's mother was stunned and cried, "Secretary, I don't know what's going on. I will let them find you when they come back."

Wu Fachen turned around and said to several people, "Let's go back first. In the evening, I will call the village director Li Er, the security director Wu Yongzhao, and your father Xiaojun, Gousheng and Qianjin all to my house and talk about it together. .”

Wu Xiaojun said, "Okay. It's been almost two years. I really didn't expect it to be done by a fool like Qianjin. However, a no-brainer like Qianjin can't do it alone. Maybe he was instigated by others. As for how it happened If you see Qianjin and ask about it, the truth will naturally come to light.”

Sanwa got rid of the suspicion and left directly.The three of Wu Xiaojun came out from Qianjin's house, just in time for lunch, and there were quite a few people eating and chatting with bowls at the gates of each house. Seeing Wu Xiaojun and Wu Xiaomei holding thick old books in their arms, each of them stared wide-eyed. Eyes puzzled and asked, "Xiaojun, what are you guys doing, where did you get so many old thick books?"

Wu Xiaojun kept saying hello, "My house was stolen two years ago. I didn't expect more than 40 of my books to appear in Hangzhou. It turned out that Qianqian stole them. We just took them out of the cement tank in the west room of his house."

"What, Qian Qianjin, this idiot, stole your books. Although he is a bit short-sighted, he can justify digging sweet potatoes, stealing melons and picking pears in the middle of the night, but if you let him go to someone else's house to steal things, he won't do it. No one would believe that he really did this, unless someone ordered him to do it from behind. It's strange to say, who in our village would do such a wicked thing?"

The villagers first came here to inquire about the gossip, and the parents and the west talked about some rare things. Once this happened, it was like an explosive news in the village. The whole village, men, women, old and young, talked in groups of three and one. It spread throughout the village in less than half a day.

Seeing that the matter was exposed, one person felt like sitting on pins and needles, feeling restless, thinking that moving forward was a cowardly fool, and when the three of them frightened them, they would confess everything like a bean, and shake themselves out. To find and hide him in advance, a guy who is not successful enough but not good enough, the consequences will be disastrous, and it will be difficult to hold his head up in the village for a lifetime or even several lifetimes.Without further ado, the time must be taken to act quietly.
