Chapter 480

Although it is not the season, there are still many corn husks.

But these need to be processed.

These two batches of corn husks were processed very well and were very standard. They were all sent to the commune, where Zhao Xiaoman inspected and accepted them, signed and stamped the delivery note, and then the commune signed off and finally sent them to the craft factory for Lin Junan's review. After passing, the commune members could be paid according to the acquisition price.

This acquisition point is right next to the brigade headquarters.

Although Tan Ying is only one person, she has always been capable and smart. For her, this is the only opportunity she must seize no matter what.

One is to live up to Lu Qiao.

The second is that she can finally live like a human being.

This acquisition point made the leaders of the neighborhood office very satisfied.

And this is not the last one; they will continue to add more depending on the situation.

The acquisition point collects fungi, mountain treasures, Jinjin grass, corn husks, etc., all year round, which not only increases the income of the commune members but also saves manpower and material resources for the military factory.

Tan Ying's work ability is also quite good.

Pulling someone out of the mud—speaking of which, this is also a work achievement.

But for Qu Caifeng at this moment, this is what she hates.

Qu Caifeng said in a shrill voice, "You didn't hear what I said just now, so I'll tell you again, I..."

Lu Qiao interrupted her, "No need, I heard it all just now. What you are dissatisfied with now is that Tan Ying didn't receive punishment; not only no punishment, but she became the person in charge of the acquisition point. You also feel that when I went to your house that day and mentioned the Tan family's affairs, you think I might have known everything in advance, and you even feel that I joined forces with the Tan family to harm you, right?"

Qu Caifeng's face changed again and again, and she gritted her teeth, "Yes, I just don't understand. Why did Tan Ying and her family have nothing happen to them, while I was beaten and injured, only received medical expenses, and got no other explanation? Why?"

Lu Qiao nodded, "You asked well; I've been wanting to tell you about this for a long time."

Lu Qiao put her hands in her jacket pockets, looked at Qu Caifeng calmly, and continued, "However, let's start from the beginning; otherwise, if we only talk about the Tan family, everyone won't understand, and you will also feel that our neighborhood office doesn't protect you and that the bad guys haven't been punished, so you will feel aggrieved."

Qu Caifeng opened her mouth, and inexplicably, her heart skipped a beat; a sense of unease rose from the bottom of her heart.

But she immediately suppressed it.

She sneered a few times, thinking to herself, I'd like to see what kind of tricks Lu Qiao can come up with.

In any case, she is the one with the problem.

Why shouldn't the people who do evil be punished?

And that Tan Ying, who could have escorted her out, actually let her take a stick to fight with her parents. What does that mean? Does she want to see her beaten to death?

So, Tan Ying is not a good thing either.

That woman is weird.

Lu Qiao knew what Qu Caifeng was thinking, but she didn't expect that after this incident, this person still hadn't learned her lesson.

"Comrade Qu Caifeng, my formal contact with you was on the day Cheng Wen's mother fell into the ice hole, right?"

Qu Caifeng was stunned, then said, "Yes."

Without evidence, what is Lu Qiao trying to say?

Lu Qiao: "I went to your house to find you. I don't know if it was because they were naughty or made a mistake, but your daughter was kneeling on the ground crying. I didn't ask for the reason at the time; I just let the little girl and her brother go to the bedroom because I wanted to talk to you alone at that time."

"I went to mediate between you and Mother Cheng. You two signed an agreement. Because of this agreement, before and after the New Year, you threatened Mother Cheng into giving you a total of three hundred yuan. This time, Lin Xiaomin received royalties, and you prepared to demand eight hundred yuan from Mother Cheng. Mother Cheng didn't have that much money, and in desperation, she wanted to die. Fortunately, she was discovered by the guard on duty, and that was how her life was saved."

Lu Qiao paused.

The large office was now completely silent.

Only the two directors knew about these things, so except for Old Hu and Old Huang standing at the door, everyone else was shocked.

What exactly is going on?

Three hundred yuan, eight hundred yuan, what agreement?

The old lady was forced to jump into an ice hole; that really means she didn't want to live.

Could it be that Mother Cheng had some handle that was grabbed by Qu Caifeng?

What is this handle?

But looking at Lu Qiao's appearance, it shouldn't be something like a saboteur or a spy, nor is it an illegal act; otherwise, Cheng Wen's mother would have been arrested long ago.

But Qu Caifeng actually used this to demand three hundred yuan from the other party. Isn't this extortion?

This is against the law.

Lu Qiao curled the corners of her mouth.

"This is the main reason I went to mediate with you, but you didn't admit there was such an agreement, refused mediation, and even said Mother Cheng was talking nonsense and that there was no such thing. Since that's the case, it's not easy for me to say anything. Although it is mediation, one must respect the opinions of both parties. But out of concern for you, I told you what I heard about the Tan family."

"I said it like this at the time: Your future sister-in-law is capable and beautiful, but the other party has an older brother who is over forty this year. He is an old bachelor and a fool who loves to hit people whenever he has an episode. Don't you think having such a maternal family is a burden for your future sister-in-law... These were my exact words, right?"

Qu Caifeng was stunned on the spot, her mouth opened, but she didn't speak. That's right, these were Lu Qiao's words to her at the time.

Lu Qiao said word for word: "I told you this little bit of information I knew because I wanted you to investigate the other party properly, but you didn't take my words to heart, and you didn't even ask. I have handled so many family disputes; I wouldn't say I'm experienced, but it's about the same. I always felt uneasy in my heart, so when I learned that you had been gone for a day and hadn't returned to the family courtyard, I, Shao Le, and Shao Le's spouse went to the Lishu Brigade together. At that time, your parents were both looking flustered and guilty, so I guessed that you might have been traded in a marriage exchange, so we went to the commune to report the case. Regardless of whether you were in the Shangen Brigade or not, you were missing; that is a fact, right?"

Everyone understood now.

They looked at Qu Caifeng in unison.

Someone looked at her with contempt and whispered, "Qu Caifeng is still being arrogant; she was saved, yet she turned it into hatred. She is truly an ungrateful thing."

"Factory Manager Xiao Lu is a cadre and an advanced worker; she would never lie. Qu Caifeng is just a fool. She was already warned, yet she didn't even ask properly when she got home..."

Qu Caifeng felt her brain was a bit dazed.

She wanted to say something, but she felt she had nothing to say.

Lu Qiao was open and honest: "What I said is actually all in the public security files; that is the most comprehensive record. As for the result of the Tan family's handling, it is because you, Comrade Qu Caifeng, chose not to pursue it and forgave your parents and family, and your parents promised to settle with the other party privately—that is to say, neither side pursues it. But if you want to report it, Comrade Qu Caifeng, I will support you too..."
