"We have evidence to prove it. It's no use for you to play tricks here now." Peng Mingzhi, the leader of the team who came back to He Jing's house to check last time.

At this moment, he felt a terrible headache looking at the unreasonable Zhou Cuihong.

The other team members were already checking Zhou Cuihong's kitchen and found several large jars of sour beans inside.

"We have also done an investigation. You said before that you would send out the sour beans once they were ready, but we inquired and found that no one in the Hekou Production Brigade received the sour beans you sent out."

Zhou Cuihong really didn't expect that the inspection team would actually ask about it, and her face immediately turned pale.

Then, she looked at the crowd and found the He family. She immediately became excited and pointed at Shi Chunlan and cursed, "It must be you who reported me."

"If they want to investigate my family, they have to investigate their family as well." Zhou Cuihong saw that everything had been investigated clearly, so she had to drag someone down with her.

As the leader of the inspection team, Peng Mingzhi had seen many people like this. He sneered, "Your two families are so close to each other, and someone has reported them before. Do you think we won't continue the investigation?"

Zhou Cuihong was stunned for a moment and bit her lower lip.

Chen Guoan, who was standing aside, listened with his hands and feet trembling. He was caught on the spot and had already admitted it.

But now, Zhou Cuihong refused to admit it, and she vaguely felt like making a big deal out of it.

He became more and more frightened and couldn't help but raise his hands, "This matter has nothing to do with me. My mother forced me to do it."

"If you don't believe it, ask my wife; she knows." Chen Guoan just wanted to clear himself from the matter, so he pulled Liu Xiangqiao in.

Liu Xiangqiao, who originally didn't want to say anything, curled her lips when she was seen, and nodded reluctantly, "This is indeed what my mother-in-law wanted."

"My man didn't want to do it at first."

"My mother-in-law put a kitchen knife to my neck and said I would die in front of her if I didn't go..."

Peng Mingzhi was so angry that he laughed when he heard what the family said. "Zhou Cuihong, do you think we are just for show and to eat?"

Zhou Cuihong was thinking about her son getting away with it, so she would do anything.

But after listening to what his daughter-in-law Liu Xiangqiao said, he was not so happy, and couldn't help but retort, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Just nod your head, why are you saying that?"

"Are you thinking of me dying sooner?" Zhou Cuihong started to curse.

Shi Chunlan was originally a bystander, listening to the family splashing water on each other and shaking her head.

"It's not as simple as just sitting there for a few days for Zhou Cuihong now."

"Weren't Niu Data and the others taken to target practice before? Do you think Zhou Cuihong would be able to do that?"

The onlookers were discussing, and one by one they looked at Zhou Cuihong, feeling very happy.

Who told her to make fun of everyone before?

He Jing was outside the crowd, and although she couldn't see clearly, she could hear everything that was said inside clearly. After sighing, she didn't want to listen any more, so she turned around and went home.

In the yard, second sister-in-law Xu Zhaodi leaned against the earth wall, standing on a bench, watching the fun.

He Jing was stunned for a moment, vaguely remembering that Liu Xiangqiao had done something similar before, "Second sister-in-law, I'm back."

"Jingjing, you're back." Xu Zhaodi answered, but she didn't turn around. She waved at her, "It's clear from here."

"You can see it if you move a chair." Zhou Cuihong next door was in trouble, and Xu Zhaodi was very happy, and her tone became much more lively.

"Zhou Cuihong has hit a wall now," Xu Zhaodi said with a smile, "Now it's her turn to be paraded through the streets."

"Then I'll pick up some rotten leaves and throw them at her." Rotten eggs, there won't be any.

Zhou Cuihong doesn't deserve to have eggs thrown at her.

At most, Xu Zhaodi would pick up some rotten leaves or some mud.

He Jing listened and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Second sister-in-law, I won't watch it anymore."

"I'll go wash the vegetables."

Xu Zhaodi didn't force him, "Okay, you pick them for a while, I'll come over later."

He Jing hummed and went into the house.

Sister-in-law Liao Hongmei put alum into the water tank. He Jing saw it and got used to it.

This is what we did when the river water was turbid before.

"Is there enough water at home?" He Jing took a look and knew that it was definitely not enough for a bath tonight. She had to go to the mountain spring to get some water, but it was a bit far.

He Jing wants to fetch water, so she can only bring a small bucket.

"Don't worry, your elder brother and second brother have already gone to the well to get water." The river water is turbid, but the groundwater is not affected much and can still be used.

There are not many water tanks at home, so we have to plan our use. We can't just use as much as we want as before and then go to the river to get more water when it's gone.

He Jing nodded and turned to get the vegetable basket.

Liao Hongmei filled a basin with water and placed it at the door. She could hear the noise going on next door.

Xu Zhaodi also came back, "Zhou Cuihong still refuses to admit it."

"The evidence is right in front of us."

Xu Zhaodi's angry and dissatisfied look made Liao Hongmei feel a little nervous, and she didn't dare to look into her eyes.

He Jing knew what her sister-in-law Liao Hongmei was worried about. "If no one reports it, this kind of thing shouldn't be discovered, right?"

"It's not that bad." Xu Zhaodi squatted down to help tear off the outer layer of the sweet potato leaf stems. "As long as the profit is not too much and it is beneficial to everyone, no one will say anything."

"But this kind of thing still can't be known to outsiders."

People are evil.

Who knows if someone is just that stingy?

Anyway, if Xu Zhaodi did it, she would definitely not tell anyone and would do it secretly. Even if she made money, she would not advertise it everywhere, nor would she buy anything. She would just save it and use it slowly in the future.

"Zhou Cuihong was reported because she bought meat too recklessly recently." Xu Zhaodi mentioned.

"Didn't Zhou Qian'an always deliver fish to our family before?" These are fish caught by the river. Everyone will go and see them when they have time. Whether you can catch them or not depends on your personal ability.

This is really something I can't envy.

Moreover, Zhou Qian'an did not hide anything and taught everyone how to catch fish.

Some people in the village were caught, but some were not.

This is entirely based on luck.

But Zhou Cuihong was not like that. She showed off after making money and bought meat every day. Although one or two taels of meat was not much, it still cost money and required tickets.

No matter how rich your family is, you can't afford to eat this every day.

Even if her family had some savings and wanted to eat it every day, the villagers had no objection.

But Zhou Cuihong was very proud. After she finished her meal, she boasted everywhere with a greasy mouth. She told everyone she met that she had eaten too much meat at noon and had poor digestion, so she was taking a walk.

Who can stand this?

This made people jealous and reported it.

Xu Zhaodi's explanation was very logical.

He Jing and Liao Hongmei heard it, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time.

"Second sister-in-law, you really know a lot." He Jing said sincerely.

After hearing this, Liao Hongmei said, "You don't know that your second sister-in-law is a well-known know-it-all in our Hekou Production Brigade."

"There's nothing in our brigade that she doesn't know."
