"Is there anything valuable in your house that was stolen?"

Tang Qizheng stayed silent for a while, then turned around and asked Yin Tianshui with a straight face.

"That day, my eldest sister was almost beaten to death by Wang Minyong. My grandmother almost …"

Yin Tianshui wiped his eyes and lowered his head. "I was in a hurry to send them to the hospital. I thought that the general doctor in the city hospital might be better, so I directly sent them there.

This is the medical record of my eldest sister and my grandmother. My eldest sister's injury is clearly written on it.

The doctor said that if I had been sent to the hospital a little later, my eldest sister would have been disabled even if she had been saved. "

He handed the medical record to Tang Qizheng. "I was in a hurry, so I took dozens of yuan under my grandmother's pillow. Unexpectedly …"

Speaking of that, Yin Tianshui became emotional. "Who knew that my house would be robbed?

The Feng Family gave me 300 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour. My grandmother had more than 200 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of flour, and dozens of kilograms of dried yams.

Waaah … "

Yin Tianshui covered his face and squatted on the ground crying. "The Feng Family gave me 2,000 yuan in cash, 100 kilograms of food stamps and 20 kilograms of meat stamps as compensation. Uncle Tang, you know that I was afraid that a thief would steal them, so I deliberately hid them under the rice storage. Now there's nothing left!

As you can see, there's nothing left in my house!

Everything that used to be useful has been destroyed. How can we live in the future?

Sob! Sob! "

Yin Tianshui cried louder and louder, attracting the attention of the villagers.

"Tut-tut, didn't they say that they didn't like Tianshui, so they broke off the engagement?

Why did the Feng Family give so much money and food stamps as compensation? "

"Director Tang, is what Tianshui said true?"

"2,000 yuan?

Wow, it's a huge sum of money. Who stole it?

Come out! "

"Who stole it? The Wang Brothers broke the door and broke in. Tianshui said that everything was' robbed '.

Do you understand what it means? "

"Who dares to admit it?

That's going to get you shot! "

Tang Qizheng waved his hand to stop the noisy discussion and comforted Yin Tianshui. "Tianshui, don't be sad. The village and the brigade will give you an explanation."

Yin Tianshui raised his head. His face was full of tears as he softly said, "Hmm." When he wiped his tears with his sleeve, he quietly wiped off the cooling ointment on his hand.

Tang Qizheng happened to see his little action and was stunned for a moment. He blinked and turned to look at everyone present. "I'm the witness for the compensation that the Feng family gave Xiao Shui. I still have the written agreement in my hand. I won't falsely accuse anyone."

He sternly swept his gaze over everyone present and solemnly ordered, "We will investigate this matter thoroughly. Other than the Wang brothers, who else entered this room and took anything? Come to the brigade headquarters and confess everything!"

Tang Qizheng was really angry. His house was originally simple and dilapidated, but someone had maliciously interfered. Although the things were shabby, they could still be used.

Now, the mess on the ground made him angry at Wang Minkui and his brother. To be so unscrupulous in his territory, they were clearly slapping his face!

He made up his mind.

He understood that if he wanted Wang Minkui and his brother to be willing to discuss a private settlement with Yin Tianshui, he had to first suppress their arrogance!

"This matter is serious and illegal!

Everyone, go back to the brigade headquarters and come up with a decision as soon as possible! "

Tang Qizheng sternly looked at his subordinates who wanted to retreat with their hands in their sleeves.

Accountant Pan looked back at his wife who was mixed in the crowd and discussed with Tang Qizheng. "Director Tang, it's almost time for dinner. Why don't we go home first and then go to the brigade headquarters?"

Tang Qizheng chuckled when he heard that. "Okay, the five people here plus Xiao Shui will all go to your house for dinner.

It's okay to borrow your place for a meeting so that everyone won't have to run around.

Xiao Shui, take a inventory of the stolen goods and give me the receipts. "

Accountant Pan was at a loss. He just wanted to inform the Wang family in advance. He didn't mean to treat them.

However, since Director Tang directly proposed it, he couldn't refuse. He could only smile awkwardly and nod. "Okay, today is the Lantern Festival. I've prepared dishes at home. I'll treat Director Tang and everyone to a simple meal."

The production team leader, Pan Shougen, heard the news and rushed over. Tang Qizheng ordered him to arrange a temporary residence for Yin Tianshui's family. "This happened in your production team. As the leader, you have a lot of responsibility. Xiao Shui applied for two houses. You are responsible for helping him to build the houses."

He thought for a while and continued. "The village will pay for the building materials first. After the stolen property is recovered, Xiao Shui will settle the bill for you.

As for the labor, we will record the work points. You Pan Jiawan, humph, you can't run away from this!

You can bear the responsibility together. "

Pan Shougen nodded and went to his house to bring a casserole to Accountant Pan's house. Inside the casserole was an old hen that his family was preparing to kill for the Lantern Festival.

His heart ached. He stewed it for a few hours. His wife chased after him and scolded him severely.

After dinner, Yin Tianshui gave the list of the stolen property to Tang Qizheng. "Uncle Tang, my elder sister and granny are in the hospital. I'm worried and have to rush back to take care of them.

I'll have to trouble you and the leaders here. I want to sue the Wang family for burglary and compensate us for all the property we lost.

Also, our medical expenses are not enough. "

Tang Qizheng looked at the information in his hand and remained silent. His eyelids twitched a few times.

When Pan Shougen heard this, he hurriedly took out 50 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Yin Tianshui. He said apologetically, "Xiao Shui, we don't have much money left at home. This will solve your urgent needs."

Yin Tianshui took it without hesitation and said gratefully, "Thank you, Captain Pan. You have always taken care of us. When my family's property is recovered, I will return it to you immediately.

Also, I want to borrow your bicycle. My elder sister is seriously injured and it will take some time for her to be discharged from the hospital. It is really inconvenient for her to come and go.

The village doesn't need to trouble you to arrange another place for us to stay. We just need to tidy up my house so that we can live in it. "

When the others saw this, they also gave 10 or 20 yuan to Yin Tianshui. Tang Qizheng directly gave him 100 yuan.

"Don't worry. When you go home, we will definitely tidy it up so that you can live in it.

Our brigade will report this case to the community and the police. We will ask for serious punishment! "

Seeing Yin Tianshui riding his bicycle further and further away, Pan Shougen's heart ached. He frowned. This Xiao Shui was originally a good child. He was honest and obedient.

Why did he become a different person after the Feng family broke off the engagement? Why was his skin so thick?

He even dared to ask to borrow his bicycle?

That bicycle was more precious to him than his son and wife. The first thing he did after dinner every day was to carefully clean it. After riding it for a year, it was as shiny as new.

However, with Chief Tang beside him, he really could not say anything to reject him.

Sigh. He would be scolded by his wife when he went home.

The sun was setting in the west, and Yin Tianshui rushed back to the hospital.

When he opened the door of the ward, he saw that Granny Pan's complexion was much better. She was sitting on the bed with Yin Yuling beside her.

Both of them had anxious expressions on their faces. Seeing that Yin Tianshui had returned, they were finally relieved.

"Elder sister, you should lie down and rest more. You will recover faster."

Yin Tianshui was holding a steamed bun in his hand. It was still warm.

"Xiao Shui, is everything okay at home?

Did the Wang family make things difficult for you? "

Granny Pan asked anxiously.

"It's okay. Granny and elder sister's health is the most important thing now. We can go home after you recover."

Yin Tianshui did not want Granny and elder sister to worry about other things. He happily took out the steamed bun and put it in a bowl. "Here, granny. Eat it while it's hot."

"Aiyo, you are such a spendthrift. You give us eggs and meat dishes every day. You even bought steamed bun. What a waste."

Granny Pan was grinning from ear to ear. She picked up a steamed bun with her chopsticks and gently sucked the juice inside.

"Elder sister, you eat it yourself. Two steamed bun for each of you. It won't taste good when it's cold."

He could not use his money freely. It would make the people around him suspicious.

"You eat it. I am not hungry."

"Elder sister, you and granny need more nutrition to recover. It's not polite for you to be so polite. Today is the Lantern Festival. We should be eating glutinous rice balls. This is just a substitute.

Don't worry. I will not starve myself. "

When Granny and elder sister went to bed, it was already 8 pm. Yin Tianshui rode his bicycle and rushed to Lake Tai with the things he had prepared.

After his rebirth, he did not have time to think about his future.

Right now, he had to take care of Granny and elder sister to make up for the regrets of his previous life.

Elder sister and granny's bodies were too weak. They were not suitable for nourishment.

The fish in Lake Tai were very fat in winter. There were also turtles. If he was lucky, he could catch a wild duck in the reeds and get some wild duck eggs.

Yin Tianshui had a good plan.

It took more than an hour to ride a bicycle from the city center to the nearest Lake Tai. It was the 15th day of the first lunar month. The moon shone brightly on the cobblestone road. It did not take much time.

When he arrived, Yin Tianshui took out the fishing net that he had prepared in advance from the basket at the head of the bicycle. The northwest wind was cold. He was sweating from riding the bicycle. When he stopped, he felt cold.

He took down the wooden bucket tied to the back seat. The bicycle fell into the reeds. He carefully used a bamboo stick to push aside the withered reeds in front of him. He moved step by step.

The wild ducks heard the sound and flew away. Yin Tianshui was overjoyed. There were eight wild duck eggs in the nest. He gently picked them up and put them into a bamboo basket.

He found a slightly flat place near the lake. The lake water was not frozen. The moon hung upside down on the surface of the lake, rippling gently in the breeze.

Ping Cheng was a famous water town in Jiangnan. In addition to Lake Tai, there was also the Grand Canal passing through the city. There were countless small and large river banks surrounding the village.

Almost all boys knew how to cast a net to catch fish. Yin Tianshui was naturally very skilled.

When he put the net down, he felt it was heavy. Yin Tianshui was shocked. What kind of luck was this?

It could not be this good, right?
