Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 311 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 52

Seeing Fang Ruoyao looking excited and excited, Jiang Yueshu couldn't help but glance over curiously, but she only saw Zhao Xue fleeing in a panic and Lu's mother following closely behind.

The captain sensed something was wrong and quickly got off the truck, yelling at Liu Qingqing who had become a fool out of nowhere.

Liu Qingqing stared at the familiar face of the driver in front of her in a daze, her heart deeply shocked.

As early as when Fang Ruoyao ran over to talk to her, she had vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly realized why this person looked so familiar.

Seeing that she was standing there like an idiot and wasting time, the captain yelled at her again and pulled her down.

Seeing that everyone had come down, Jiang Yueshu quickly changed direction and headed towards the brigade headquarters.

The captain was just about to rush into the crowd to find out what was going on when someone grabbed him by the corner of his clothes and he almost fell down.

He turned his head and looked at Liu Qingqing impatiently, "What are you doing?"

Liu Qingqing pointed inexplicably in the direction Jiang Yueshu drove away, "That, that's Jiang Erya?"

Captain: “…”

Crazy!

Everyone knows that Jiang Erya is the tractor driver of their brigade. Is this girl stupid?

The captain said unhappily, "What else?" and then plunged into the crowd.

Liu Qingqing looked around, and the face of the woman with a fair face and superior features in her mind slowly overlapped with the dark and thin Jiang Erya from the Jiang family in her memory.

She...is actually Jiang Erya?

But she can actually drive a tractor?

How is this possible?

Liu Qingqing couldn't believe it. Thinking that she hadn't been back for so long, a lot of things must have happened. She quickened her pace and headed towards Jiang's house. She wanted to find her mother and ask her mother clearly.

When Jiang Yueshu hurriedly rushed to the crowd of onlookers, several aunties and sisters spontaneously made room for her when they saw her. She and Fang Ruoyao immediately became the first to watch the show.

Lu's mother and Lu's brothers and sisters stood aside, each with an angry look on their faces, cursing at Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue hid behind the captain, looking aggrieved and indignant, and retorted with her neck stiff.

Fang Ruoyao quickly told Jiang Yueshu the plot she had missed. This morning, everyone was chatting outside when Lu's mother chased Zhao Xue and shouted at her to beat her up, saying that Zhao Xue had stolen money, but Zhao Xue refused to admit that she had taken it.

Jiang Yueshu nodded and looked towards the center of the crowd again.

Because Zhao Xue had been hiding behind the captain, Lu's mother couldn't hit her, and now she was crying and complaining to the captain.

"Captain Sun, you must help me make the decision!"

"My second son is not young anymore. He got engaged a few days ago. My family has collected enough money for the betrothal gift and was ready to give it to him today. But the money was stolen by that bitch Zhao Xue. What should I do? Now the woman is making a fuss about canceling the engagement because of the betrothal gift! What should I do with my second son?"

"My Lu family is so unlucky. How could we marry such a troublemaker? My poor second son!"

Before the captain could even open his mouth, Zhao Xue retorted without giving in.

"Bullshit! What does your lost money have to do with me? Why do you say I stole the money?"

"I am so unlucky to marry into your Lu family! I am your biological daughter-in-law, and this is how you look at me? You have to ruin my reputation before you agree? I have never seen a mother-in-law as vicious as you!"

Mother Lu was so angry at what she heard that she cried even harder. She no longer cared about the family's disgrace and started talking to the people around her.

"Everyone, look at this. This is the kind of wife my Lu family married. You keep saying I'm vicious? Zhao Xue, you really have no conscience. You married into our Lu family. Although you don't have to do housework, at least you are not forced to work in the fields every day. You don't do any work at home or outside. You don't even wash your own underwear and ask your little sister to wash it? You say I'm vicious?"

Zhao Xue's head buzzed. She never expected that Lu Jianjun's mother could be so cruel as to bring up this matter in public and ruin her reputation.

The onlookers were looking at each other in surprise, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

"Oh my god, did I hear it right? This Zhao Xue even wants Lu Xiaomei to wash her underwear?"

"No, that's what I heard."

"Oh my god, this Zhao Xue is such a lazy woman. Is there anyone in the village who enjoys life like her?"

"Is this true? Did these two just make it up after a quarrel, or is this really the case?"

"I don't know, but it's not wrong to say that you're going to work. Isn't it true that Zhao Xue doesn't go to work every other day?"

"mom!"

Zhao Xue's sharp voice startled the whispering crowd around her, and her eyes were red.

"What are you talking about? You hate me so much. I just told you that I wanted to split up the family, and you deliberately said that to me? Over the years, all the money Jianjun sent back was kept with you. You favor your younger brothers and sisters and spend it on them, but I am Jianjun's wife after all. We will have children in the future, and we will have to spend money. How can we live if we don't split up the family?"

After saying this, Zhao Xue collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly, as if she had been hit hard.

After hearing this, the onlookers began to feel uncertain again.

Is this true or false?

Not sure, check again.

Fang Ruoyao was also curious, so she moved closer to Jiang Yueshu and asked.

"What Zhao Xue said must be false, isn't she just a lazy bum? And her mother-in-law isn't as biased as she says. I've seen the Lu family's little sister go out to work several times, but Zhao Xue didn't go."

Jiang Yueshu nodded in agreement, "It's fake, just sophistry."

When Mother Lu saw Zhao Xue's ugly hypocritical face in front of others, she felt regretful.

She held the captain's hand and said in a bad tone, "Captain, everyone knows what kind of person I, Li Miaomiao, am. I have never treated Zhao Xue badly since she married into my family. I have a clear conscience! Zhao Xue is simply talking nonsense. Not to mention that she never mentioned the separation of the family. Even if she did, what was she thinking?"

"His father and I raised Jianjun with great difficulty and sent him to the army. He finally managed to get married. Now we are alone, with our second son and youngest sister still married. How can we get a share of the family?"

Mother Lu gritted her teeth and glared at Zhao Xue hatefully, as if she wanted to bite her.

"Yes, Zhao Xue has only been married for less than a year. She is an orphan with no family and hasn't even started a family yet. How can she be clamoring to split up the family?"

"Not really. I think most of them think that the other members of the Lu family are a burden and are unwilling to pay. What's so strange about that?"

"Alas, city people are still the most playful. They want to separate their mother-in-law, uncle and aunt-in-law just a few months after they got married. How can this be possible?"

A few undisguised voices were heard, causing Zhao Xue, who was slumped on the ground, to change her expression slightly. She began to regret the excuse she had found.

But once words are spoken, they have been spilled, and she couldn't change them, so she could only continue to speak.

"How would I know what the situation is like in your countryside? In my family, as long as we get married, we naturally have to separate the family. Besides, how has Jianjun treated you unfairly? Why don't you just talk it over nicely? Why do you have to say so many vicious words to slander me? I say it again, I didn't steal the money!"

Mother Lu was so angry that she was shaking. "If it wasn't you who stole it, who did it? You were always alone at home these days, it couldn't be the second son and the younger sister who stole it! It's okay that you stole it before, I won't bother with you, but this is the betrothal money that the second son has to give to others, have you lost your conscience?"

Without waiting for Zhao Xue to speak, Lu's mother continued.

"Don't tell me you didn't steal. When Jianjun just returned to the army, didn't you buy several new sets of clothes? Where did you get so much money? Or do you really want me to call Jianjun back to confront him on the spot?"

Zhao Xue's eyes flashed with guilt for a moment, but she immediately regained her righteous look the next second.

"Isn't it okay that it's my own money? What's wrong with me spending my own money to buy clothes for myself? What makes you say I stole it? Do you have any evidence? Why do you keep slandering me without any evidence?"

Mother Lu was so angry that she stamped her feet, but she really couldn't produce any evidence. In order to catch Zhao Xue, she searched her entire room, but found nothing.

But she was the only one in the family who had the habit of stealing money. No one else knew about the bride price, and only their own family members knew about it. The second son would definitely not take it when he got married. The younger sister also went to see the house, and didn't see anything either.

After eliminating them one by one, she really couldn't think of anyone except Zhao Xue.

Considering her usual lavish spending, she even began to wonder if Zhao Xue had spent the money in advance?

Zhao Xue looked at Lu's mother's helpless rage with confidence. No matter how much she made a fuss, she would not be able to produce any evidence.

Mother Lu regretted her decision very much and could only place all her hopes on the captain.

The captain was stared at eagerly by Lu's mother and sighed inwardly. After all, this was their own family affair, and why did they have to make it known to everyone?

The two of them had been arguing for so long that the captain probably understood the conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. It was mainly about stealing money. Lu's mother suspected Zhao Xue, but Zhao Xue refused to admit it. Unfortunately, Lu's mother couldn't seem to produce any evidence.

What can he do if Lu's mother can't produce any evidence?

The captain glanced at Lu's mother, who looked as if she was facing a great enemy, and tentatively suggested, "Jianjun's mother, stealing money is not a trivial matter. In the end, we still have to produce some evidence!"

Mother Lu's expression darkened, and she listened to the captain continue speaking.

"Either you ask Jianjun for his opinion on this matter and your family can mediate it among yourselves, or you can report it directly to the Public Security Bureau!"

As the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Jianjun had a conflict between his mother and his wife, which involved him, so he naturally had to find a way to resolve it!

Otherwise, just let the public security personnel investigate directly. They will surely find out who is right and who is wrong. We can't just ask him to make the decision.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law changed.

Zhao Xue felt that this matter could be decided in an instant. Since Lu's mother had no evidence to prove that she stole the money, then it was not stolen by her, and she should apologize to her and admit her mistake!

Why would she need to look for Lu Jianjun or report to the police? No matter which one, it would not do her any good.

Mother Lu was extremely conflicted. First, she didn't want to disturb her son's work because of family matters. Second, she was hesitating whether to be so cruel as to report to the police.

Although she has seen through Zhao Xue's true face and regrets marrying her very much, Jianjun still has her in his heart after all. If she really does this, will Jianjun become estranged from her?

Mother Lu thought about it and did not respond to the captain immediately. Instead, she spoke to Zhao Xue with a hint of threat.

"Zhao Xue, I'll give you one last chance. Hurry up and return the stolen money. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. Then let the public security personnel investigate who stole the money."

Provoked by Lu's mother's words in front of everyone, Zhao Xue, who was originally a little worried, immediately spoke rudely.

"I told you, I didn't steal the money. If you want to report it, go ahead. I'm not afraid of you. Don't talk about friendship here. You can't even produce any evidence, and you still want to slander me. When did you ever talk to me about friendship?"

Zhao Xue's words were like adding fuel to the fire. The last trace of hesitation in Lu's mother's heart completely disappeared, and she immediately said to the captain.

"Okay, Captain, I'm going to the police station to report the case. I don't believe that we can't find the conscienceless thief who stole the money!"

When she said this, Mother Lu was still staring at Zhao Xue vaguely, and it was obvious that she still suspected Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue rolled her eyes secretly, not showing any fear at all.

So, the captain, who had just rushed back and had not yet had lunch, only got a cake and a pot of water sent by his family. He ate while following Lu's mother and others to the town police station.

The captain didn't want to go at first, but Lu's mother urged him and cried, telling how pitiful she was as an orphan and a widow, and how afraid that something bad would happen to Zhao Xue, so she insisted on dragging him to be a witness.

In desperation, the team leader directly asked his good friends, the team secretary and the accountant, who also wanted to escape from the scene, to make this trip together.

Zhao Xue originally suggested that Jiang Yueshu drive the tractor to take the people there, but the team leader was the first to refuse with a stern face.

"How can you be so shameless? It doesn't cost diesel? Arya just came back and she hasn't even had a meal yet. Are you going to give her a meal subsidy?"

After the captain's scolding, Zhao Xue didn't dare to say a word.

She couldn't spend money recklessly now, otherwise Lu's mother would notice her and say that it was the betrothal money.

Besides, she was not willing to give Jiang Yueshu so much money and let her take advantage of her.

Fortunately, the village's ox cart was still there, and under the gaze of the villagers, the group got on the cart and headed towards the town.

The onlookers did not disperse immediately, but continued to discuss the matter in groups of three or four, expressing their own speculations.

Fang Ruoyao felt extremely regretful and pulled Jiang Yueshu's sleeve and whispered.

"What a pity, it's already noon, otherwise I could go and watch the fun for a while."

Jiang Yueshu looked at the ox cart moving further and further away in the distance, recalling Zhao Xue's extremely determined and confident expression from the beginning and her farming space that could store things, and said in a stammering voice.

"Maybe even if I go there, I won't get any results."

Fang Ruoyao was curious when she heard this, "Why?"

"Such a large sum of money can't just disappear into thin air. If it's stolen, there should be traces left behind!"
