Chapter 564: Chapter 563: The Breakthrough Comes Knocking

Aunties clumsily dragged the foolish boy away.

Sie Yufei struggled desperately: "Aunties, don’t pull me, I’m going to help Brother Feng take pictures for evidence... I’m really telling the truth, I won’t speak nonsense anymore..."

The aunties ignored him, comforting him perfunctorily: "Alright, alright, Xiao Sie, stop making trouble, we’ll play later, let Xiao Su handle the serious business first."

Sie Yufei: "..."

He wasn’t causing trouble, was his question really useless?

The aunties held onto him, nodding towards Su Yuncheng: "Xiao Su, you handle this, we’ll watch him."

Su Yuncheng nodded to the aunties, but then walked towards Sie Yufei.

Sie Yufei looked hopeful: "Brother Cheng, my question was useful, wasn’t it?"

Su Yuncheng couldn’t be bothered with him, taking the camera out of his pocket: "Let me borrow this."

"Eh? Maybe I should do it, my photos have been published in Huaxia Daily..."

Su Yuncheng turned and left.

He took the camera, and took several photos of Shi Dongshan and the room in disarray.

Shi Dongshan felt somewhat panicked and unconsciously shrank back.

She was now terrified of this man!

He was a demon!

Su Yuncheng put away the camera, took out his notebook and fountain pen, glaring at Shi Dongshan as he asked: "Name?"

"Shi, Shi Dongshan." Shi Dongshan shrank her neck, her voice not as confident as before.

"What are you doing in Ten Miles Team?"

"I, I..." Shi Dongshan swallowed, her eyes evasive, "I left something here, I came to find it."

The villagers sneered and rolled their eyes at her.

Feng Wei had just opened the door of the east room, and the nearby villagers had all seen inside; it looked like a disaster had struck, calling her a bandit wasn’t too much.

Su Yuncheng pretended not to see and continued asking: "What thing?"

Shi Dongshan swallowed again.

She didn’t leave anything here! She was just harboring resentment and looking for trouble—why did the company commander allow the educated youth to bully her back then?

She didn’t think she was wrong, but she definitely couldn’t say that.

This man was too fierce, she’d wait until they reached the commune, then find a way to tell her father, and have her father deal with him!

Of course, if she could muddle through the current situation, it would be best; then this man would have beaten her for no reason, and she could ask her father to lock him up for ten years!

Shi Dongshan didn’t speak for a long time, and the villagers had already guessed that she was making trouble out of nothing, just when they were incredibly indignant, Lin Nianhe suddenly spoke up:

"Looking for something so anxiously, it must be very valuable, did you lose money?"

Aunt Li was startled, puzzled as she looked at Lin Nianhe.

Lost money? She hadn’t picked it up!

Lin Nianhe gave Aunt Li a reassuring look, then turned to Shi Dongshan: "Although it’s not right for you to smash things, each issue should be addressed separately. If you really lost money, we can understand, and we’ll help you search."

Shi Dongshan had already been tormented by the pain to the point of not wanting to live. Hearing Lin Nianhe’s words, her eyes brightened, not bothering to consider if the way out provided was a trap, she stepped right in:

"I really did lose money, I couldn’t find it when they were sending my luggage, so that’s why I came."

"Oh, how much did you lose? To cause such a scene, it certainly wasn’t just a matter of a few coins. As an educated youth, how much money could you have? Surely it’s not five hundred, if it really was that much, even tearing down the house wouldn’t be too much."

Shi Dongshan blurted out: "It was five hundred yuan! I saved that money over several years!"

After she finished, she lifted her chin and looked at Su Yuncheng with a bit more confidence.

Unfortunately, Su Yuncheng didn’t look at her at all. He kept his eyes down and quickly took notes in his work notebook.

Lin Nianhe drew out a long "Oh," then suddenly turned to ask Zhu Weiqiang: "Company Commander Zhu, how long has Shi Dongshan been in the battalion?"

Ever since just now, Zhu Weiqiang’s head had been buzzing constantly. Upon hearing this, he replied subconsciously: "A year and a half."

Lin Nianhe raised her eyebrows slightly: "No wonder everyone wants to join the battalion. To save up five hundred yuan in a year and a half, you should have told me, I would have joined too."

"Ha ha, Nianhe, she’s bragging, all the subsidies for battalion educated youth added up to about forty yuan a month. Even if the battalion provides food, could she not spend a single penny? Look at her leather shoes, those must cost five or six yuan, right?"

Wang Shumei covered her lips and chuckled, then pointed at the watch on Shi Dongshan’s wrist: "I’ve seen that watch in the Sui City Supply and Marketing Cooperative, one hundred and eighty yuan!"

"Right, I’ve seen it too." Lin Nianhe lifted her chin towards Shi Dongshan, "Exactly how much money did you lose? Oh, wrong question, should I ask whether you lost any money at all? Lying is subject to punishment, you know."

Lin Nianhe spoke so much that Shi Dongshan had to brace herself even if she felt faint!

She insisted firmly: "I really lost five hundred yuan! This watch was bought for me by my dad!"

Lin Nianhe laughed.

The breakthrough just presented itself!

Su Yuncheng held his pen, turned back to look at Lin Nianhe.

Lin Nianhe, with a beaming smile, gestured a "please" sign to him, and then went to one side with Wang Shumei to crack sunflower seeds.

Su Yuncheng withdrew his gaze, glanced at Shi Dongshan, then turned to Zhu Weiqiang: "Company Commander, I need to ask you some questions."

Zhu Weiqiang looked at Su Yuncheng, feeling apprehensive too, he hurriedly nodded: "Ask, ask."

"How is Shi Dongshan’s spending in the battalion?"

"Well..."

Zhu Weiqiang looked troubled.

He truly didn’t know that.

He was the company commander, busy all day with numerous tasks, how could he keep track of how much an educated youth spent each month?

However, a squad leader who came with him said: "I heard the female soldiers squad leader say that Shi Dongshan spends fifty or sixty yuan on special food each month, claiming it was money sent from home. A few times the remittance slips were handed over by me."

The villagers smacked their lips when they heard this number.

Fifty or sixty a month? And wearing a hundred and eighty yuan watch?

Even a double-income family couldn’t withstand such extravagance!

Lin Nianhe, while cracking sunflower seeds, said: "Sister Shumei, I remember Uncle Wong said his monthly salary was twenty-three yuan and six, right?"

"It seems so, definitely not up to thirty yuan."

Zhu Weiqiang faintly sensed something was off, he frowned and looked towards Shi Dongshan with a more scrutinizing gaze.

Only Shi Dongshan herself didn’t seem to notice anything wrong, she was still fantasizing about the beauty of locking Su Yuncheng up along with her five hundred yuan.

Su Yuncheng closed his work notebook, and asked Feng Wei in the east room: "Are you done with the inspection?"

"Done."

Feng Wei ran out with his workbook, and started reporting loudly: "The windows, frames are damaged, and two bed sheets, they were torn, I had Aunt Zhao help inspect them, they were just ripped."

"What? Why are you tearing my bed sheet to look for something?"

Aunt Li became furious, almost broke free from Wang Xixi’s grasp and rushed to beat up Shi Dongshan.

Shi Dongshan glanced at her, lifted her chin, and snorted coldly: "So what? Who saw me damaging it?"
