Chapter 148 Zhuang Qingxiang, come with us.
Zhuang Qingxiang didn't want to listen to their argument, so she stretched out her hand and said, "I'll get out of the car, but give me my money back."
"You want more money?" Su Yinghong suddenly became angry. "We've already given you a ride halfway, and you're still slandering my boyfriend. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet."
"Peng Yu, get her out of here right now! She's slandered your innocence, and you still want to play the good guy?"
Judging from her expression, if they weren't in the car, she probably would have jumped up and started yelling.
The male educated youth named Peng Yu, with an apologetic smile on his face, took out a dime from his pocket and returned it to Zhuang Qingxiang: "Comrade, I'm sorry, you'll have to walk the rest of the way on your own two legs. Why did you talk nonsense? Sigh, don't do that again, it makes people laugh at you."
Zhuang Qingxiang took the money and got out of the car, spitting it on the ground right in front of them.
"Trying to act like a human being, but who knows if they're a ghost or a dog? Pah!"
"You..." Su Yinghong was so angry that she was about to jump out of the car to settle the score with her, but Peng Yu hurriedly grabbed her and urged Shuanbo to leave quickly.
The oxcart left, but Zhuang Qingxiang was still angry.
It's really not easy to be a good person; she was just meddling in other people's business.
Zhuang Qingxiang walked the remaining half of the way very quickly, saving a lot of energy, and she was content.
Upon arriving in the county town, Zhuang Qingxiang wandered around the residential area. The residents here were all native to the county town, and the houses were built quite compactly, with only enough space for two people to walk side by side in the alleys.
But people are very vigilant at this time, and she doesn't dare to just grab anyone and ask if they want to rent a house. What if she encounters an unreasonable person who suspects her and takes her to the police station?
After searching for a while, Zhuang Qingxiang finally found a place to rent. She was already mentally prepared, which is why she paid for Cao Xiang's food for a few days.
She was confident that she would find it eventually if she searched patiently.
It's getting late, I need to hurry back. I wonder if Cao Xiang and the others have prepared dinner for the children yet...
Thinking about it, Zhuang Qingxiang hurried back. By sheer coincidence, she ran into the oxcart that was going back again. The two educated youths were on the cart, along with a lot of other things. Zhuang Qingxiang glanced at them and guessed that they were new educated youths who hadn't been there long, otherwise they wouldn't be buying a small stove and pots at this time.
When she saw them, they saw her too.
Su Yinghong scoffed and tilted her chin to the sky.
Peng Yu then put on a friendly face: "Sorry, I bought a lot of things today, there's no room in the car."
"Why are you telling her all this? Even if there's a spot available, I won't let her take it!" Su Yinghong pouted.
Peng Yu quickly tried to comfort her.
Zhuang Qingxiang didn't want to watch the young couple's performance, so she said goodbye to Uncle Shuan and quickly walked back.
She has to walk back on her own two legs, so the sooner she gets there, the better.
As the oxcart passed by her, she could still clearly hear Su Yinghong's mocking laughter.
Zhuang Qingxiang didn't take it seriously.
She's 31 now, and doesn't want to lower herself to the level of these young people.
These two educated youths looked to be in their early twenties, quite young.
Zhuang Qingxiang was worried about her child. She was sweating all the way back to the village. She was thinking about whether to make some vegetable porridge or egg porridge for her child as she walked into the house.
However, as soon as they stepped through the gate, they heard Qian Cao shouting, "She's back! She's back!"
The next second, two uniformed police officers walked out of the main room.
Zhuang Qingxiang was slightly taken aback.
Qian Dayou jumped out of the house, pointed at her and cursed, "You jinx! You bring trouble as soon as you come back. Get out of here with your two kids and don't tarnish my family's reputation."
Zhuang Qingxiang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Zhuang family was still causing trouble even after going abroad, and had really done something immoral that implicated her?
"Are you Zhuang Qingxiang?" one of the police officers asked.
Zhuang Qingxiang nodded: "Yes, that's me. May I ask... what do you need me for?"
"You know perfectly well whether something's wrong or not. Come with us."
Such a serious tone and expression made Zhuang Qingxiang even more uneasy. She could tell that something must have happened, otherwise the police officer wouldn't have such an expression.
"Mother!" Little Qian Yue suddenly ran out of the house, hugged her leg, and cried, "Mother, don't go with them, don't... Yueyue is scared..."
"Yueyue, don't be afraid, Mommy's alright." Zhuang Qingxiang comforted the child first, then said to the police officers, "Comrades, I really don't know what happened. If you have any questions, can you ask them here? My two children are young and need someone to look after them."
"Can't leave someone behind? Then why have you been gone for most of the day?" the police officer scoffed. "Zhuang Qingxiang, stop making excuses. We've been waiting for you for a long time. Come with us now!"
Seeing that they wouldn't budge, Zhuang Qingxiang added, "Could I speak to my father and father for a few minutes? I need their help taking care of my two children..."
Although the police officer was displeased with her delaying, he agreed for the sake of the child.
Zhuang Qingxiang didn't mince words; she directly demanded that Qian Dayou and Cao Xiang take good care of the two children, making sure they weren't thirsty, hungry, or cold, or she would tear the house down when she returned.
Zhuang Qingxiang said a lot of threatening things, which made the two police officers frown.
Who would say something like that in front of the police? Aren't they afraid of getting arrested?!
Qian Dayou immediately turned to the police officers: "Sir, listen to this! Is she even speaking human language? She's trying to burn down our whole family! Isn't that illegal? Arrest her immediately! And take those two little bastards away too!"
"That's right, leaders, you have to stand up for us!" Cao Xiang cried out.
"Comrades, you heard what they said. If anything happens to my two children while I'm being taken away by you, it's their doing. You'll have to stand up for me and my children!" Zhuang Qingxiang said, her eyes red, her voice both aggrieved and strong.
The police officers had no interest in dealing with the mess in this house.
They could only scare Qian Dayou and Cao Xiang with a few words, telling them to take good care of the child first, before urging Zhuang Qingxiang to set off quickly.
Zhuang Qingxiang followed them away from Dongya Village with trepidation, trying to find out what had happened along the way, but they wouldn't say a word.
Upon arriving at the police station, she was immediately taken for questioning.
Zhuang Qingxiang then realized that important documents had gone missing from the factory, and she was a suspect.
Zhuang Qingxiang looked completely bewildered: "Me? Why would I steal data from the factory?"
"That's where the question comes in!" the police officer in charge of the interrogation asked sternly.
Zhuang Qingxiang recognized the two police officers in charge of the interrogation and tentatively asked, "Excuse me... are you Comrade Meng and Comrade Zhang? I'm Zhuang Qingxiang. Director Lu introduced me to you before..."
She got into a lot of trouble at the factory. Lu Congyue took her to the police station and met with the two police officers.
Meng Shuisheng slammed his hand on the table: "Answer the questions, and don't try to make up connections to lessen your guilt!"
