Chapter 121: Market Trouble (2)
The villagers who were watching were all afraid of officials, especially those with gloomy faces.
They were able to speak a few words just now, but now they are as quiet as quails.
In the end, it was Xu Yan who recounted what had happened.
"I saw it when I first got here," Xu Yan pointed at Cheng Jin, "He was carrying the child on his neck."
"After I was pushed by someone behind me, I turned around and they disappeared. And she," Xu Yan pointed at the old woman again, "she turned around and ran away stealthily."
The commune secretary frowned.
"Just because she ran away, you said she stole your things?"
"I saw it," said the tall man who had been standing next to Xu Yan. "I was standing over there, so I saw the kid give her the things, but I didn't see clearly where he took them from."
As he spoke, he pointed towards where he had just stood.
The commune secretary looked over there.
Given the young man's height, he can indeed see it from over there.
"We didn't steal it," the old woman was still stubborn, and then she glared at Xu Yan, "She must have seen me buy a nice piece of cloth, so she deliberately said that I stole it from her!"
After saying that, he turned the tables and said, "Who knows what her relationship with that man is? Maybe they have teamed up to trick us!"
Xu Yan's face turned cold.
But before he could open his mouth, he heard a young girl's voice, "You're talking nonsense! How could Tailor Xiao Xue lie? Besides, he's in town all year round, how could he know anyone in the village?"
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Yan and then turned his head away.
"I don't know any of you," Xue Ning also frowned, "I can't possibly lie. I only said what I saw."
"But you, you guys..."
He suddenly changed the subject, glanced at the old woman and Cheng Jin, and then said, "I don't know what the relationship is."
After he said this, Xu Yan clearly felt that although the old woman's face looked ugly, it was still okay. The main thing was that the man's face was pale.
The people who were eating melons were talking in low voices at this time, but it was too noisy and difficult to hear clearly.
"Leader," Xu Yan called out to the commune secretary, "All the cloth I brought out today has my name written on it. You can tell at a glance whether it's mine or not."
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the two people in front of her became even stiffer.
The old woman subconsciously touched the piece of cloth stuffed into her clothes.
The commune secretary is not a fool. How can he not see the problem now?
"Take it out!" he snapped.
The old woman was so frightened that her hands shook violently.
"I'll count to three," the commune secretary glared, his eyebrows knitted together, and his tone was a little impatient.
The old woman finally couldn't bear it anymore and took out the cloth with trembling hands.
"The words 'Da Bao' are written on the corner of this piece of cloth," Xu Yan said directly after just a glance.
The old woman could not read, but Li Aihua snatched the cloth from her hand and unfolded it. Dabao's name was indeed written on one corner of the cloth.
The people around them suddenly became louder.
"What else do you have to say?" Li Aihua said with a squint.
The commune secretary looked at the mother-in-law and Cheng Jin again, his face still dark, "What is your relationship? Which brigade are you from?"
Nowadays, social relations are strictly enforced. If we see someone acting suspiciously, we will go up to check their letter of introduction. If no one can prove their identity and they don't have a letter of introduction, they will be arrested.
When he asked this, the old woman and Cheng Jin suddenly panicked.
"Leader," the old woman rushed over and tried to grab the commune secretary's hand, but he glared at her and she took a few steps back in fear.
"Speak!" The commune secretary raised his voice impatiently.
"He...he is my man," the old woman stammered.
When she said this, not only the commune secretary, but even the people around her rubbed their ears.
I thought I didn't hear clearly.
"What did you say?" The commune secretary looked at her in disbelief, then looked at the young man next to her.
He even believed what this guy said was her grandson.
"We got married in the first half of this year and had a wedding banquet," the old woman said, "and everyone in the village knows about it."
Xu Yan now finally understood why she had irritated the other party with just one sentence.
She stared at the old woman who looked to be in her sixties or seventies, and then at the young man next to her who was wearing glasses and was estimated to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. She felt that this world was really a bit magical.
Is it so crazy?
What are you picturing?
Is it because she doesn’t take a shower or because she has many wrinkles?
The commune secretary was probably quite puzzled. He paused for a long while before asking, "Which brigade?"
"From Daniugou," the old woman whispered.
Daniugou is actually not called Daniugou. Its official name is Qinghe Brigade. From the name it should be a good place like Qingshan Brigade, but in fact the environment is far worse than that of Qingshan Brigade.
Qinghe Brigade is the village that Ye Wei mentioned before where the educated youth did not have to go to work.
The poor people in the mountains were considered rich if they could wear a complete set of clothes.
Xu Yan didn’t know what Daniugou was, but Li Aihua understood it as soon as she heard it.
"It was the poorest production brigade in the entire county. I heard that there were still people starving to death throughout the year. The female educated youth in the educated youth camps either married people from their village or married people from other villages."
"This is the first time I've heard of a male educated youth getting married..."
Li Aihua lowered her voice, but her voice was loud to begin with, and even after controlling the volume it was still quite loud.
Cheng Jin's face turned red.
His hands were clenched into fists and his head was hanging down almost to the ground.
The people around were first surprised, then looked at him with contempt.
When these educated youth heard the news that they didn't have to go to work, they were so happy that the other teams also heard about it. But who knew that life would get worse and worse later on, so they started thinking about going to the fields to earn work points.
But their team leader was so smart that he never gave them any work to do because of their previous work.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer people in the educated youth sites now.
Basically, they can't bear it anymore and find someone else to help them.
But it is rare for someone to find a "grandmother" directly for himself.
The discussion became louder and louder, and was finally interrupted by the commune secretary.
He took them both, along with the child, directly to the commune.
After the crowd had completely dispersed, Xu Yan saw that the person who had spoken for her before was still there. She wanted to go over to thank him, but when she saw the girl standing next to him glaring at her, she didn't go over.
But Li Aihua also saw it, and enthusiastically pulled Xu Yan forward two steps, "Xiao Xue, the tailor."
Then he turned his head and looked at Xu Yan, "Don't you want to make clothes? Xiao Xue's tailoring skills are impeccable."
"Oh," Xu Yan curled the corners of his mouth.
After what happened just now, the few people got to know each other.
