Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 19: No Way to Defend Yourself

In the courtyard of No. 18 Courtyard, the neighbors were talking to each other, trying to distance themselves from the matter.

Zhao Mancang's house was robbed, and Li Baoguo personally led a team to investigate, and all the neighbors were questioned one by one.

The courtyard is so small that at this time in the afternoon, everyone is at work or school, and the only ones left in the courtyard are the elderly and weak.

So when he examined the two half-grown children in the front yard, Feng Xiaoming and Ma Tingqiang, Li Baoguo noticed something was wrong.

After some patient persuasion, the two children finally confessed everything.

It turned out that Jin Wenliang, who had been quiet for a few days, was causing trouble again.

He took advantage of the fact that no one was in the yard and secretly ran to Zhao Mancang's house to make trouble, messing up all the things in the latter's house.

However, he didn't expect that when he came out, he was caught by Feng Xiaoming and Ma Tingqiang.

In order to conceal the truth, Jin Wenliang had to threaten the two children not to tell anyone.

But now, facing the questioning of the security department, the two children would not lie at all and were immediately exposed.

Well, the theft case was solved.

However, Jin Wenliang is not in the yard now. I guess he is having fun outside with the five dollars and fifty cents that Zhao Mancang gave him?

When Jin Wenliang did such a thing, neighbors including Aunt Luo and Old Lady Liu started cursing at him.

Jin Wenliang's mother, Xie Pandi, suddenly became the emotional garbage dump of the aunts, and all the unpleasant negative news was poured into her.

Liu Juan also had an extremely ugly expression on her face, and she coldly told Xie Pandi to hurry up and call Jin Wenliang back and wait to be sent to labor camp.

Xie Pandi's mental defenses completely collapsed and he just kept crying.

We were used to having everything go our way. We had even driven out several neighbors who had moved in, and nothing had ever happened.

In Xie Pandi's opinion, the newly moved neighbor Zhao Mancang is just so-so.

The result was shocking.

Zhao Mancang's house was just messed up. Not only did Guan Shicong, the director of the street office, come, but three people from the steel plant's security department also came.

Encountering someone with a "background" like Zhao Mancang, the Jin family is really going to be in trouble this time.

Soon, Xie Pandi had to go out to look for Jin Wenliang, accompanied by Fan Tong and Han Xiaochuan.

As time went by, many workers went home from get off work.

At this time, the sun had already set.

It was almost dark when Wei Hongzhou, Jin Yuanzhi, Mei Xuesong and others all returned from get off work.

The news that five yuan and fifty cents was stolen from Zhao Mancang's house in the afternoon had already spread around the No. 18 Courtyard.

So, at this moment, Wei Hongzhou and others all gathered in the central courtyard.

Liu Juan, the aunt from the street office, personally presided over the courtyard meeting. Now she is waiting for Jin Wenliang to come back and then completely close the case.

The neighbors all watched, and each one was taught by their parents not to be a thief.

When Jin Wenliang came back, the sun had already set and someone in the yard had already lit candles or kerosene lamps.

As for families with light bulbs, there are really not many.

Electricity in the 1950s was not very expensive, but many people were reluctant to buy it.

Electricity bills in this era were all based on the "package light system" electricity bill receipt, for example, each 10-watt light bulb was 20 cent per month, and a -watt light bulb was cents.

The most commonly used light bulb in most households is 15 watts, which costs cents per month in electricity bills.

Even so, there were frequent power outages, so we always had kerosene lamps and candles at home.

"I didn't steal the money, Aunt Liu, I really didn't steal the money. I just messed up his house. It's his fault for embarrassing me that day." In the central courtyard, after Jin Wenliang appeared, he kept shouting that he was injustice.

Whether it was the neighbors, Liu Juan, or Li Baoguo and others, everyone actually knew why Jin Wenliang wanted to take revenge on Zhao Mancang.

It was just because a few days ago, Zhao Mancang frightened Jin Wenliang with a kitchen knife, making him completely embarrassed in front of his neighbors.

That's why he is so mean.

As for whether the money was stolen?
Haha, Han Xiaochuan and Fan Tong found Jin Wenliang in Baishun Hutong on the Dazhalan side, a crowded and bustling place.

And when he saw the latter, Jin Wenliang was drinking tea and watching a show.

Baishun Hutong is a place of opera, where there are many Peking opera artists.

So Jin Wenliang probably didn't come to this place to have fun.

He has spent all the money. As long as he refuses to admit it, no one can do anything to him.

But unfortunately, Li Baoguo did lend ten yuan to Zhao Mancang, and the latter had spent some money recently, so there was still five yuan and fifty cents left, which was simply too reasonable.

What's more, Jin Wenliang himself admitted that it was he who made Zhao Mancang's family like this.

So this money can't possibly disappear without a trace, right?
So Jin Wenliang had no way to defend himself. It was like yellow mud falling into his trouser pocket - it was shit anyway.

The whole case is not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple.

So, Jin Wenliang was taken away by Han Xiaochuan, Fan Tong and others. He would definitely need to be sent to labor reform for a period of time.

And he must compensate Zhao Mancang for the five dollars and fifty cents he stole.

Only Kim Won-sik, the father, can compensate for this money.

Under Liu Juan's witness, Jin Yuanzhi took out five yuan and fifty cents and compensated Zhao Mancang.

At this time, Jin Yuanzhi's fear and resentment towards Zhao Mancang reached its peak.

In fact, just this evening, Zhao Mancang received hundreds of system message prompts, which was quite concentrated.

So, in fact, even if there was no compensation of five yuan and fifty cents, Zhao Mancang still felt that what Jin Wenliang did today was really great.

Sometimes, you don’t have to rely on yourself to get rich, you can also rely on your teammates.

Zhao Mancang felt that these resentment experience points should be enough to open up more new things in the system mall.

So, after Liu Juan, Li Baoguo and others finished giving the neighbors the ideological education class, Zhao Mancang thanked them, then went back to the house, closed the door, and carefully checked the changes in the system.

The experience value has exceeded one thousand, from this we can see how much resentment Jin Wenliang's family has towards Zhao Mancang.

Such a large amount of experience points gave Zhao Mancang a big surprise.

That is, the system opens up a warehouse space, which is equivalent to the space of a 100-square-meter house. Well, it is really 100 square meters, without any common area.

In addition, the mall also offers a lot of daily necessities, even books and so on.

In short, a bright future life is beckoning to him.

"Vidal Sassoon shampoo, um, what the hell is BAWANG anti-hair loss here? I don't even need it, okay?"

"Moisturizing cream? It's useful in winter."

"Hmm, Sichuan sausage? Gulp, this stuff is really good, and there's also chicken and fish."

When Zhao Mancang saw the good stuff in the system mall, he couldn't help but drool.

After traveling through time for so many days, he still hasn't had a proper meal of meat, and he's really craving for it.

But when he took out the sausage, he suddenly froze: If the neighbors smelled the aroma of the bacon, wouldn’t it be disastrous?
