Ignoring the salesperson, Gu Zhan whispered in Liu Xiaoxi's ear, "Just pick whatever you like, as much as you want."

The tickets given by Liu Jianhua and Li Yuquan were not only practical but also generous, and could indeed solve the urgent needs of the couple.

Gu Zhan took out a stack of bills in his hand, took out a few cloth coupons of corresponding denominations and put them in Liu Xiaoxi's hand.

The saleswoman stared at the thick stack of bills in Gu Zhan's hand, her eyes wide open, wishing she didn't have that many. Because of his attitude just now, she felt embarrassed to look at Gu Zhan again, so she simply lowered her head and began cutting cloth with another colleague.

Finally, the heavy cloth was in hand, and Liu Xiaoxi finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

When Gu Zhan came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he was already holding a large bag of things. In addition to cloth, there was also some flour and other miscellaneous items.

On the way, Liu Xiaoxi would steal glances at Gu Zhan from time to time, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"what happened?"

Liu Xiaoxi pinched her fingers, hesitated for a long time, and whispered, "How did you get so many tickets?"

Gu Zhan laughed, wondering what the girl was struggling with for so long, but it turned out to be because of these tickets.

So he gave Liu Xiaoxi a general account of what was happening in the city. When she heard that the teachers had collectively tampered with the test scores, her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "How could they be so bold?"

Gu Zhan laughed and touched the smooth top of the head of the person beside him: "When there is great profit, there will inevitably be people who take the risk of great disapproval to do things."

Liu Xiaoxi thought thoughtfully: "That's right."

"But aren't they afraid of being discovered?"

"There are only a few people in Jing City who can speak English. If I hadn't been there, there's a high probability that no one would have noticed what was going on. After a long time, even if they wanted to investigate further, there would be no evidence."

Liu Xiaoxi looked at Gu Zhan with admiration: "You are really amazing. You also helped those candidates who did not seek help from others but had excellent grades."

After returning to their residence, the two rested for a while and then checked out, waiting for the village tractor to come and pick them up.

When issuing the certificate, Zhao Baogen told Gu Zhan that the village tractor would come to the county today to do some business and could take the couple back on the way.

This time is just right.

It was just that the village tractor was a little slow, so when it came to pick up the couple, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

By the time everyone else arrived and returned to Xiaohe Village, the sun had already set.

As soon as the tractor entered Shanghe Village, someone came over on a bicycle to look for Gu Zhan: "Gu Zhan, Captain Zhao wants you to go to the brigade office right now."

Gu Zhan frowned: "Is there something urgent?"

The man told Gu Zhan expressionlessly: "I don't know, hurry up."

This was a very impolite statement, and Gu Zhan guessed that it was not a good thing.

Gu Zhan turned to look at Liu Xiaoxi, who looked worried, and patted her shoulder gently to comfort her, "You can go home by yourself first, or go to your mother-in-law's house first. I'll be back soon. It's nothing serious, don't worry."

"Then come back soon!"

Under Liu Xiaoxi's worried gaze, Gu Zhan waved to Liu Xiaoxi, sat on the tractor and followed the vehicle towards the production brigade.

In the office of the Shanghe Village Production Brigade, including the brigade cadres, there were more than a dozen people crowded together. When they saw Gu Zhan sitting on the tractor, they whispered, "Here he comes, here he comes, Gu Zhan is here."

Zhao Baogen glanced at the team members who were staying in the office and refused to leave, as well as Zhou Liang and Gu Mancang who were sitting opposite him, his face was frighteningly dark.

Gu Zhan jumped neatly from the tractor and quickly walked to the office. He looked around at the people sitting in the office with a burning gaze and greeted Zhao Baogen with a smile: "Captain."

"Ok!"

Zhao Baogen responded and asked Gu Zhan to sit down.

Zhao Baogen cleared his throat and looked at the people talking in the office. "Comrade Gu Zhan, our village comrade Zhou Liang has reported you for embezzling village funds. Now, please tell us the details of your trip to the city to buy medicine."

After Zhao Baogen said this, there was no way Gu Zhan didn't understand.

His expression remained unchanged, and he glanced at Zhou Liang with a cold gaze.

Zhou Liang was unsure and felt guilty, so his eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to meet Gu Zhan's gaze.

Gu Zhan said calmly, "Okay, then I'll tell you about this trip to the city..."

Gu Zhan quoted everything from the journey to the city, from staying in the waiting room to save money to buying medicine on the return trip, and even the prices of things he needed to buy on the way.

The people here are not fools. After hearing Gu Zhan explain it so clearly, and considering that Zhou Liang is usually a thoughtful person, they can roughly guess that he has ulterior motives.

But since they have already benefited from Zhou Liang, they have no choice but to speak up for Zhou Liang.

When Zhou Liang heard Gu Zhan regain consciousness, he glared at him with dissatisfaction: "Then why didn't you buy the medicine we agreed on? Why did you switch to another medicine?"

Gu Zhan was so angry that he almost laughed. Talking to such a person was simply a waste of life, but he definitely had to explain today's matter clearly.

"Don't you know what happened then? Do I need to remind you that oxytetracycline was unavailable anywhere, so I had no choice but to buy erythromycin."

"But who doesn't know that oxytetracycline is cheaper? Gu Zhan, Captain Zhao gave you a full thirty yuan. Calculate how much you got back. Do you know that's the only money left in our village account?"

"Zhou Liang, you can't be so unreasonable now. I had a receipt when I bought the medicine."

As soon as Zhao Baogen said this, Zhou Liang paused visibly, and then a look of panic appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Zhao Baogen continued, "Comrade Gu Zhan also gave me a receipt when he gave me the medicine. Accountant Zhou, could you please take out the receipt and show it to everyone?"

Accountant Zhou Jiawang responded, turned around and went out to look for the receipts.

Zhou Liang was completely panicked. He clearly didn't see Gu Zhan take the receipt at that time, so how could a receipt appear out of thin air now? He looked at Gu Mancang for help.

Who knew that at this moment Gu Mancang just lowered his head, pretending to know nothing, and didn't care about Zhou Liang's life or death at all.

Seeing this, Zhou Liang guessed that Gu Mancang just wanted to use him to make things difficult for his nephew, or even wanted to gain something from his nephew, so he came up with such a thing. It was probably not that Gu Zhan was using public funds to make a profit.

And I was just being used by him.

Not long after, Zhou Jiawang presented the receipt issued by the Municipal Animal Husbandry Station when Gu Zhan bought the medicine in front of everyone. The bright red official seal of the Municipal Animal Husbandry Station was stamped on the receipt.

The amount is exactly the same as what Gu Zhan said.

At this moment, Zhou Liang wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, but Gu Zhan did not give him the chance.

"Zhou Liang, you're the veterinarian of the Shanghe Village Brigade. I'm sure you're familiar with the situation around here. So let me ask you today: even if I made the decision to change the medicine, did it save all the cows in the village?"

Zhou Liang lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Zhan, and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes."

Gu Zhan smiled with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Gu Mancang: "Okay, then let me ask you, which production team around here has a 100% survival rate for cattle in this epidemic?"

"Kamikawa Village."

"Okay, thank you Dr. Zhou for speaking the truth."

"So, is it okay for me to temporarily change the dressing?"

Everyone present was silent. Gu Zhan's words did make sense. By this time, several villagers who had been more sensible had already hurried out the back door of the office. The remaining villagers sitting near Gu Zhan were reluctant to leave and sat there in the awkward atmosphere, feeling uncomfortable.

Gu Mancang faced Gu Zhan's gaze and remained silent. He was now hoping for a lucky break. As long as he and Zhou Liang didn't say anything, the secret of the mastermind behind this matter would not be leaked.

Gu Zhan glanced at Gu Mancang obscurely and smiled coldly.

His second uncle was a man of deep thoughts, seeking both advantage and responsibility. He would slowly settle the accounts of this life and the past.

Just as Gu Zhan was thinking about it, he heard several urgent calls from outside: "Captain Zhao, are you there?"
