Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 355 Collecting Evidence

"How did you know that?" Xue Li had begun to doubt her own judgment. There was nothing she could do. Many of the words she had said to comfort Jiang Yu turned out to be slaps in the face. So now she believed Jiang Yu's evaluation even more.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and lowered his voice and said, "He Chongwen is a bit like Wu Xiaoxiao. That man always asks He Chongwen for money and things. Look at Zhang Ming..."

"Ah? Another gigolo. No, that man asked He Chongwen for things and money?" Xue Li opened his mouth in surprise. "You've seen them get along. Are they close?"

"He Chongwen seemed quite enthusiastic about him, but that man just wanted something. He kept repeating the same few words over and over again just to get something." Jiang Yu recalled the scene she had seen and said that if she hadn't had sharp eyes, she wouldn't have been able to spot them. They really knew how to avoid the crowd.

Xue Li suspected that He Chongwen was gay, but there shouldn't be many such things these days. After all, people's words are scary, and who dares to reveal that they are gay? But men asking for money and things from other men, and Jiang Yu using Wu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ming as examples, it was hard for her not to think crookedly.

However, we cannot jump to conclusions about this kind of thing. We still have to look at the situation.

With doubts about He Chongwen in his heart, Xue Li got up and went back to the house with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.

The next day, Jiang Yu began to polish the two human figures.

The wood became smooth after being rubbed with sandpaper. Except for some details that needed to retain the rough texture, Jiang Yu quickly rubbed the entire wood carving from beginning to end.

Jiang Yu spent a whole day tapping the wood carvings again and again, and finally found them pleasing to the eye.

But when she looked up at the sky, it was getting dark again. Wow, there really is no time in the mountains. It was just a busy day, and the whole day was over? Jiang Yu stood up in surprise, and then the sore body reaction told her that it was true.

Reluctantly, she began to twist her body and move her limbs to make herself more comfortable.

After cleaning up the debris and garbage, it's time to cook.

Jiang Yu looked at her own space. The cabbage and potatoes she had eaten for a whole winter were finally almost consumed. However, the small vegetable garden outside the window had just been cleared out, and there were no fresh vegetables to eat yet. She could only continue to fight with the cabbage.

For dinner, she had cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, with one of her favorite sausages added. The vermicelli was added before serving, and the meal was ready. It couldn't be more perfect. Jiang Yu nodded with great satisfaction and went back to the kang with her cooking.

Two carefully retouched wood sculptures of human figures were placed on the kang cabinet opposite her. Originally there was a mechanical wind wire cart there, but it had been moved to a position against the wall to display the wood sculptures.

Jiang Yu was eating and reading the newspaper at the same time, and from time to time he would cast his eyes on the wood carvings, which showed that he was truly satisfied.

In the morning of the next day, Jiang Yu went out to Yaoer Mountain, but the door of Yi Chi's house was locked, which showed that no one was there. She calculated the time and it seemed that she would have to wait a few more days before she could give the gift to Yi Chi.

I don’t know what he is busy with. He hasn’t come back in so many days.

What are you busy with? Busy collecting evidence.

News suddenly came from the grandmother, saying that the higher-ups had suddenly arranged for someone to come and investigate old matters. If Yi Chi acted quickly enough and his grandfather was indeed innocent, he could seize this opportunity. As long as he provided evidence, he might be able to clear the suspicion against the foreigner. In this way, Yi Chi's knot in his heart would be resolved sooner.

Originally, Yi Chi was learning odd jobs from the teachers at the base, but when he heard the news, he rushed over without stopping, and then ran around with the people arranged by his grandmother.

But it was not easy to investigate the matter of Yi Chi's grandfather, because so many years had passed and a lot of evidence had become blurred. Moreover, when the incident happened, Yi Chi was still young and he didn't even know what had happened. It was only later that his uncle told him that his grandfather had been demoted.

But even if it was difficult, Yi Chi would still look for him. He had to find a way to get his grandpa back home. His grandpa had suffered so much here. If he couldn't go home at this age, it was hard to say whether he would have the chance to return to his hometown in the future. So no matter what, he had to succeed.

Jiang Yu knew nothing about this. She either studied or did handicrafts every day and rarely went out. Gradually, even the people in the team began to forget about her.

It was time to go to school and hand in homework. Jiang Yu prepared his homework book, lunch box and other items the night before, as they would be needed after he entered the commune the next day.

The next morning, Jiang Yu rode his bicycle along the main road.

Many villagers who hadn't seen her for a long time took a quick look and almost couldn't remember who she was.

Today, Lin Anna accompanied Zhuang Dahe to the fields for a rare occasion. When she looked around, she saw Jiang Yu, who was full of vigor and vitality. Suddenly, her eyes froze, and she seemed to be struck by lightning. She screamed and fell on her back.

Jiang Yu was startled by the shout, but luckily she managed to keep her hands steady. She stopped the car, propped her long legs on the ground, and looked at Zhuang Dahe with a frown, "What a psycho!"

Zhuang Dahe was also frightened. He didn't know why Lin Anna suddenly went crazy. He waved his hand at Jiang Yu and said, "It has nothing to do with you, Jiang Zhiqing. She hasn't been sleeping well recently and is a little abnormal."

Jiang Yu made a disdainful sound, then retracted her long legs, exerted force with her feet, and shot out very far away, then she rode away on her bicycle.

As soon as Jiang Yu left, the people working nearby came over.

"What happened to Daha's wife?" An old lady nearby looked at Lin Anna's pale face and was a little reluctant to recognize her. After all, Lin Anna was a celebrity in the brigade. Before the wild boar went down the mountain incident, many young men in the brigade were interested in her. How come she became like this after not seeing her for such a long time?

Could it be that Zhuang Dahe could absorb people's essence? Some men also exchanged obscene glances, and then looked Zhuang Dahe up and down with ambiguous meanings.

"She just can't sleep well. It's nothing. It's just right now. Let her sleep." Zhuang Dahe didn't care much, because after seeing Lin Anna's true condition, he had already started to regret it.

He regretted marrying her. This woman was in poor health. Not only could she not give birth to a child for him in the future, she couldn't even have basic sexual intercourse. This made Zhuang Dahe, who had already tasted the power of women, extremely dissatisfied.

Seeing that he was serious, the others dispersed quietly even though they were confused.

It's not that they don't want to intervene, but Zhuang Dahe's attitude clearly shows that he doesn't want to say more. He is very impatient. Everyone wants to watch the fun, but they don't want to get into conflicts with others because of gossip, so they slowly dispersed.
