Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 480 Let's start from the beginning
Although it's not in season, there are still plenty of corn leaves.

But this needs to be addressed.

Both batches of corn leaves were processed very well and met the required standards. They were delivered to the commune, where Zhao Xiaoman inspected and approved them, then signed and stamped the delivery slips. The commune then signed the slips and finally sent them to Lin Jun'an at the handicraft factory for review. Once approved, the commune members could be paid according to the purchase price.

This purchasing point is right next to the brigade headquarters.

Although Tan Ying was alone, she had always been capable and intelligent, and this was her only chance, which she had to seize no matter what.

First, we must live up to Lu Qiaoge's expectations.

Secondly, I can finally live like a human being.

The leaders of the subdistrict office were very satisfied with this acquisition point.

And this isn't the last one; more will be added as needed.

The purchasing point buys mushrooms, wild delicacies, grass, and corn leaves year-round, which not only increases the income of the commune members but also saves manpower and resources for the military factory.

Tan Ying's work ability is also quite good.

Pulling someone out of the mire is, in a way, a work achievement.

But at this moment, this is exactly what Qu Caifeng hates.

Qu Caifeng's voice was shrill: "You didn't hear what I just said, so I'll say it again, I..."

Lu Qiaoge interrupted her: "No need, I heard everything just now. What you're unhappy about now is that Tan Ying wasn't punished. Not only was she not punished, but she became the person in charge of the acquisition point. You also think that when I went to your house that day and mentioned the Tan family, you thought I might have known about it beforehand, and even thought that I was in league with the Tan family to harm you, right?"

Qu Caifeng's expression changed several times, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I just don't understand why Tan Ying and her family got away scot-free, while I was beaten up and only received medical expenses as compensation, without any explanation. Why is that?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "That's a good question. I've wanted to tell you about this for a long time."

Lu Qiaoge put her hands in her shirt pockets, looked calmly at Qu Caifeng, and continued, "But let's start from the beginning. Otherwise, if we only talk about the Tan family, everyone will not understand, and you will feel that our neighborhood committee is not protecting you, and that the bad guys have not been punished, and you will feel indignant."

Qu Caifeng opened her mouth, then her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and a sense of unease rose from the bottom of her heart.

But it was immediately suppressed.

She chuckled coldly, thinking to herself, "Let's see what tricks Lu Qiaoge has up her sleeve."

In short, there's something wrong with her.

Why should those who do evil go unpunished?

And then there's Tan Ying. She could have easily escorted me out, but instead she made me take a stick and fight her parents. What does that mean? Does she want to see her beaten to death?
Therefore, Tan Ying was no good either.

That woman is very strange.

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

"Comrade Qu Caifeng, our first official contact was on the day Cheng Wen's mother fell into the ice hole, right?" Qu Caifeng was taken aback, then said, "Yes."

Without any evidence, what is Lu Qiaoge trying to say?
Lu Qiaoge: "I went to your house to find you. I don't know if she was being naughty or did something wrong, but your daughter was kneeling on the ground crying. I didn't ask her why at the time. I just asked the little girl and her brother to go to the bedroom because I wanted to talk to you alone."

“I went to mediate between you and Aunt Cheng. You two signed an agreement. Because of this agreement, you threatened Aunt Cheng to give you a total of 300 yuan before and after the New Year. This time, Lin Xiaomin received her manuscript fee, and you planned to ask Aunt Cheng for 800 yuan. Aunt Cheng did not have that money, and in desperation, she wanted to end her life. Fortunately, she was discovered by the guard on duty, which saved her life.”

Lu Qiaoge paused.

The large office is now quiet.

Only the two directors knew about these things, so apart from Lao Hu and Lao Huang standing at the door, everyone else was shocked.

What exactly happened?

Three hundred yuan, eight hundred yuan, what agreement?
The old lady was driven to jump into an ice hole; she really didn't want to live anymore.

Could it be that Aunt Cheng has some secret that Qu Caifeng has caught up with?

What is this handle?
Judging from Lu Qiaoge's demeanor, she shouldn't be involved in sabotage or undercover espionage, nor is she doing anything illegal. Otherwise, Cheng Wen's mother would have been arrested long ago.

Qu Caifeng actually demanded 300 yuan from the other party based on this. Isn't this extortion?

That's illegal.

Lu Qiaoge curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"That's the main reason I came to you for mediation, but you don't acknowledge the existence of this agreement, refuse mediation, and even say that Aunt Cheng is talking nonsense and that there's no such thing at all. Since that's the case, I can't say anything. Although it's mediation, we still need to respect the opinions of both parties. But out of concern for you, I told you what I heard about the Tan family."

“This is what I said at the time: Your future sister-in-law is capable and beautiful, but she has an older brother who is over forty years old, an old bachelor, and a mentally challenged man who likes to hit people when he has an episode. Don’t you think it’s a burden for your future sister-in-law to have such a family? ... That’s what I said, right?”

Qu Caifeng froze on the spot, her mouth opened but she didn't say anything. That's right, these were the words Lu Qiaoge had said to her back then.

Lu Qiaoge said, word by word, "I told you the little information I had so that you could investigate the other party properly, but you didn't take my words to heart, and you didn't even ask. I've handled so many family disputes, I'm not exactly experienced, but I'm pretty much. I always felt uneasy, so when I learned that you hadn't returned home after a day, Shao Le, Shao Le's partner, and I went to Lishu Brigade. Your parents looked flustered and guilty, so I guessed that you might have been forced into a marriage swap. So we went to the commune to report it. Whether you were in Shangen Brigade or not, you've disappeared. That's the truth, isn't it?"

Everyone understood now.

They all went to see Qu Caifeng without prior arrangement.

Some people looked at her with disdain and whispered, "Qu Caifeng is still so arrogant. Saving her has only made her an enemy. What a heartless wretch."

"Director Lu is a cadre and an advanced worker; she would never lie. Qu Caifeng is an idiot. We reminded her, but she didn't even bother to ask her properly when she got home..."

Qu Caifeng felt a little dazed.

I want to say something, but I feel like I have nothing to say.

Lu Qiaoge said frankly, "What I've said is actually all in the police files, which contain the most complete information. As for the outcome regarding the Tan family, that's because you, Qu Caifeng, chose not to pursue the matter and forgave your parents and family. Your parents also agreed to settle the matter privately. In other words, neither side will pursue the matter further. But if you want to sue, Comrade Qu Caifeng, I will support you..."
