Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 105 One Thousand Yuan

After two cups of tea, it was time to get down to business. Captain Wen and the public security comrade stood up at the same time, put the bamboo cups on the table, and took out an envelope from their jacket pockets.

He handed it to Tao Qiuyi very carefully and seriously.

Tao Qiuyi, who was sitting next to Wei Jingyuan, stood up as well. Instead of rushing to take the envelope, he looked at Captain Wen.

"This is the reward given to Comrade Tao by the organization," said Captain Wen.

"Thank you, Captain Wen delivered it personally." After thanking him, Tao Qiuyi took the envelope. Judging from the thickness of the envelope, he guessed it must be quite large. "I didn't expect the reward to come so soon."

Captain Wen explained, "The dean personally gave it to you as a reward from the recovered cash, so it was quick."

Tao Qiuyi paused as he opened the envelope, looked up at Captain Wen, and saw that Captain Wen looked a little unnatural and evasive, and he immediately understood something.

What a perceptive little girl! She immediately realized something was wrong with my casual explanation, Captain Wen sighed in his heart.

Wei Jingyuan then said, "Xiao Huai, take the old Party Secretary home."

"Okay." Xiao Huai was very smart. As soon as he heard this, he knew that what his elder brother and sister-in-law were going to discuss with these two was not something he and the old branch secretary could listen to.

If Xiao Huai could understand, the old Party Secretary could understand it too. He slowly put down his cup of water and stood up. "Xiao Huai, you must tell me in detail about the fireplace in your house on the way."

"Okay." Xiao Huai responded obediently, and the two of them, big and small, walked out of the house.

The old Party Secretary suddenly turned around and looked at Tao Qiuyi, "Girl Tao, do you have any herbal tea suitable for the elderly? Preferably one that can treat insomnia."

"Yes, I'll let Xiao Huai take you home later." Tao Qiuyi nodded in agreement.

Tao girl was still so generous. The old branch secretary left with Xiao Huai in satisfaction.

In the room, Tao Qiuyi took out the money from the envelope. It was a thick bundle of ten-yuan bills. She blinked in surprise. Are there so many rewards in this era?

This looks like it costs at least eight or nine hundred yuan.

Wei Jingyuan paused, then reached out and grabbed Tao Qiuyi's wrist. He asked in a deep voice, "What did you do? Why is the organization giving you such a huge reward?"

Looking back at Wei Jingyuan's sharp eyes, Tao Qiuyi didn't want to hide it, but she still needed to ask Captain Wen. If the matter of catching a traitor in the mountains needed to be kept secret, even if Wei Jingyuan suspected her, she couldn't tell him.

"Captain Wen?" Tao Qiuyi looked at Captain Wen inquiringly.

When entering the house, the old branch secretary introduced that Wei Jingyuan was Tao Qiuyi's husband. The public security comrade was a public security officer in Huangjia Town, so he naturally knew about Wei Jingyuan.

Captain Wen is an active-duty soldier and has heard of Wei Jingyuan's glorious deeds when he was in the army. Seeing that he now needs to use crutches to walk, he still feels very sorry.

Now when Wei Jingyuan asked why his wife received the organization's reward, Captain Wen naturally would not hide it from him. He told him with a serious expression about how Tao Qiuyi helped catch the traitor in the deep mountains.

After listening to this, Wei Jingyuan looked at Tao Qiuyi with a complicated expression.

He had previously suspected that Tao Qiuyi was a spy, and thought that Tao Qiuyi married him in order to find an identity to cover up her spy identity so that it would be easier for her to go into the mountains to find things.

Now, Captain Wen said that Tao Qiuyi helped them capture the traitor who escaped with a large amount of cash and research materials in the deep mountains.

I brought a reward to Tao Qiuyi today, and it was given by the dean himself.

Tao Qiuyi knew Wei Jingyuan was very perceptive, so she explained, "I went into the mountains to look for herbs that day, picking up mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms. It was just unlucky for that traitor to be caught by me."

"How do you know he's a traitor?" Wei Jingyuan asked. "I don't know." Tao Qiuyi shook his head. "When I saw him, he was unconscious. It looked like he fell from a mountain and knocked himself unconscious."

"You tied him to a tree without knowing who he is?" Wei Jingyuan asked with a frown.

Tao Qiuyi gave him a look that said, "You're stupid!" "It was because I couldn't tell whether he was a good guy or a bad guy that I dragged him under a tree while he was unconscious and tied him to it."

"If he's a good guy, I'll untie him and let him go. If he's a bad guy, I'll tie him to a tree so he can't attack me when he wakes up."

"It turns out that what I did was right. He is a traitor."

After saying this, Tao Qiuyi gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. This set of rhetoric was impeccable.

What he said makes a lot of sense. Captain Wen and the public security comrades all wanted to praise Tao Qiuyi for his cleverness.

Wei Jingyuan had seen Tao Qiuyi's strength before, and he didn't believe she would be afraid of an unconscious man attacking her. The only explanation was that she guessed that the traitor was not a good person, so she tied him to the tree.

"Next time you meet someone like this, you must do the same." Wei Jingyuan reminded her, and at the same time he felt guilty because he had previously misunderstood her as a spy.

Tao Qiuyi's identity as a spy is a misunderstanding, so why has she been acting abnormally recently?
Is this how you teach your lover? Captain Wen and the public security comrades all looked at Wei Jingyuan, speechless.

After explaining why he received the reward, Tao Qiuyi looked at the bundle of ten-yuan bills in his hand and asked Captain Wen, "How much is this?"

"One thousand yuan." Captain Wen replied with a smile.

"One thousand yuan! It's all for me." Tao Qiuyi was shaking a bundle of ten-yuan bills in his hands, with a happy smile on his face, but he was gritting his teeth in his heart.

Give her a thousand dollars, and things will definitely not be easy next time.

Obviously, Wei Jingyuan had the same idea as her, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

A figure flashed outside the door and the four people in the room noticed it. The public security comrade just stood up and Tao Qiuyi waved at him, signaling him not to pay attention to it.

"Why don't you go and see who it is?" the public security comrade asked in a low voice.

"No need." Tao Qiuyi turned back to look at Wei Jingyuan, and the two exchanged a knowing look. "We know who it is."

Who else could be hiding outside and peeking at this time except Third Aunt Li Yuegui who was at home?

Before, Li Yuegui scolded the old branch secretary and the villagers for quarreling outside the courtyard gate, saying that it disturbed her son's writing. In fact, she was the only one at home and her son was not at home at all.

Tao Qiuyi listened carefully and made sure that there was no one around the room. He put the bundle of ten-yuan bills back into the envelope, put the envelope on the table, and looked up at Captain Wen.

"The traitor we caught confessed." Tao Qiuyi was not asking, but confirming. After so many days, the traitor must have confessed.

Not only did he confess, he was also likely to confess some things related to this brigade or Huangjia Town.

Seeing her casually put the envelope containing one thousand yuan on the table, Captain Wen's eyes flashed and he looked at Wei Jingyuan, only to see that his expression had not changed at all.

It's rare that both of them are not greedy for money.

"Yes, the traitor confessed yesterday morning." Captain Wen said. He didn't intend to hide what he was going to say next from Wei Jingyuan. Just as he was about to say something, he looked towards the door worriedly.
