CH 5

"One thousand!" The Qin family shouted in succession.

"You really did great things without saying a word!" The aunt admired her mother-in-law.

"What about the money? That's the quota for second girl; shouldn't money belong in our second room?" Qin Shi's stepmother stared.

"Mom, did you really sell it for a thousand yuan?" Qin Shi's father was not surprised.

Grandma Qin looked at the whole family that had asked her about the whereabouts of the money. She shouted at them in anger, "If it weren't for the second room's leg injury, how could I sell it? Money! I know the money; it's all spent, no!"

After yelling at the crowd, Grandma Qin pointed her fingers at Qin Shi again and said, "You just keep going day by day. Every time you go out and come back, you bring back trouble!"

"Stop at home and wait for me to marry you out!"

Qin Shi looked at the recalcitrant Grandma Qin and said, "Grandmother, you'd better return the money to others earlier. Buying and selling university quota is illegal, and you will be arrested and put in prison."

Grandma Qin was scared back when she wanted to swear, but then she remembered that her aunt's family had also sold theirs, and she was not caught, so she immediately straightened out and said, "Nonsense!"

Qin Shi put down her chopsticks, took out the newspaper that she found after running around the town all afternoon, and handed it to Grandma Qin: "Grandmother, it's really illegal. You see, many people have been arrested."

It has only been two years since the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the number of people who privately replace, buy, and sell university quota is countless, which has been strictly controlled and specially reported.

It's just that the village is backward in thinking and the villagers are ignorant or knowingly guilty.

Grandma Qin stared at Qin Shi and said, "I won't look!"

Qin Shi saw that she did not answer, so she put the newspaper beside her, took up the bowl, and began to eat the remaining porridge.

Hmm... Sweet potatoes are good, but the rice is not. The way porridge is cooked is also perfunctory, resulting in the taste of the porridge being worsened by three points.

The aunt picked up the newspaper and saw a row of handcuffed people on it. Her heart jumped. She handed the newspaper to her baby son, Qin Cong, for him to read.

"What is written on it!"

Qin Cong saw the title at a glance. After scanning it, he found that the picture was really a business deal, and they were caught seizing university quotas. He was shocked.

He looked at Grandma Qin in a bit of panic and said quickly, "Grandmother, this is true, and you will be caught in the bureau!"

"Ah!" Grandma Qin panicked, "No, someone else has bought it! How can they be all right? I don't want to enter the bureau; I don't want to ah wu..."

Grandma Qin is a standard rural woman. She is ignorant and naturally afraid of the police and the police station. She was frightened to hear that she would be locked in prison.

"So Mom, did you really sell a thousand yuan for the university quota?" Qin Shi's stepmother didn't believe that she had spent all the money. There was nothing to spend in the countryside. She didn't go to town, and the money must still be hidden.

"Yes, Mom..." The aunt was not stupid. She opened the door and asked, but was interrupted by Grandfather Qin's roar.

"When is it? Don't think of ways to help your mother and still think about money here, huh?"

The old man Qin, who had been watching silently, patted the table, and the whole room immediately became silent. No one dared to make a mistake again; even Grandma Qin's crying stopped.

Grandma Qin stopped crying for a while and then continued to howl, looking miserable and anxious. Not to mention being locked in the police station, Grandma Qin was scared when she passed by the police station. She was scared and worried about the money, and she felt humiliated. She cried bitterly.

The old man Qin looked at Qin Shi and saw that she was eating like nobody else. His heart was cold with anger.

He didn't expect that the second girl, who seemed to be a good girl at ordinary times, was actually so cold and cruel.

"Second girl." Uncle Qin said, "She did the wrong thing, but you can't watch her go in, can you? Think about it."

Qin Shi: "If you turn yourself in, the police may find that you have a good attitude, and then you will be punished lightly."

"That's not enough to go to prison!" Grandma Qin cried. "People sell it. Why can't I sell it? Why can the police catch me without catching others?"

As soon as Qin Shi heard this, she turned to look at her and said, "Do you know who else has sold it? Report it. I heard that the report has a bonus, but I don't know whether it is true or false."

Grandma Qin lowered her score when she heard the cry of the bonus, but she thought in her heart that the person was a relative of her mother's family. if she reported it herself. What would her mother's family think of her? This person and this person must not get along with each other. She will be pointed out by others.

So she regained her former high voice and began to cry in cadence.

"Grandma, don't cry!"

"Second sister, is there no other way?"

"Isn't it all right for others to buy and sell? I think it's all right."

The Qin family said all sorts of things, and the table was in a mess. No one except Qin Shi paid attention to the food on the table.

Qin Shi automatically blocked their voices and looked at the scrambled eggs on the plate. It was a pity that she thought it would be too noisy to eat when she came back today.

I knew that I would need to buy those two cakes.

"The police don't know that other people did it too and are fine. If they know it, they will take care of it." Qin Shi put down her bowl and said, "My classmates know it, and others must know it. You'd better return the money as soon as possible and get the quota back."

"Yes, yes, we pay back the money!" Qin Cong nodded repeatedly. "We'll be fine if we solve the matter secretly before the police find out!"

The aunt's expression changed, and she was still thinking about the thousand yuan.

Regular workers earn only over thirty yuan a month! Who is willing to pay more than two or nearly three years' salary?

Don't mention uncle and aunt. Except for Qin Shi, everyone here is reluctant to give up. But if you don't pay it back now, you will go to prison.

"Give the money back to others quickly!"

"Yes, grandmother."

Old Qin and Qin Cong urged Granny Qin.

Both uncle and aunt and Qin Shi's stepmother could not bear the huge sum of money, but due to filial piety, they could not watch Grandma Qin go in without saying a word.

Grandma Qin covered her heart and cried bitterly. She said that she would not take out the money. Finally, she was tired of being persuaded. She cried and shouted, "If you want money, you want me to die! If you don't want money, I will go to the bureau. Will our people still manage to eat!"

The stepmother raised her head when she heard the words. Grandma Qin looked into her obviously excited eyes and cried louder.

"You can't wait for me to go in and share the money! Conscientious goods! What have I done to have you as my daughter-in-law!"

The stepmother was looked at by everyone with unkind eyes and immediately retorted, "What did you say, Mom? Are you crying?"

The stepmother also covered her face and began to cry: "Before I said what I cared about, you beat me into a heartless commodity. I married Qin Jianguo for so many years, took care of the two children until they grew up, and gave birth to a son for your family. How can you do this to me without merit and hard work?"

"You sold our second girl's college quota without permission, and now that you are saying that again, I... I'm going to die!"

Qin Shi looked at her stepmother lying on the table, crying for her death. She cried with Grandma Qin and raised her eyebrows slightly.

This stepmother is also in acting school. It's no wonder she got her father.

The crying duet, one louder than the other and the other more cadenced, made Qin Shi's brain swell.

She finished the last bite of porridge in the bowl, put it down, and said to the crowd, "I have said everything I need to say. You can do it yourself. I will go back to the house first."

After that, she got up and left.

The old man Qin, looked at her back and thought of the newspaper. She said she would not marry Lu Cai before she took it out.

When the child was brought up, it was also a disaster. I knew I should not have stopped the old lady. I should have drowned her then, but now there is not so much that he can do!

The old man Qin turned to Grandma Qin with hatred in his eyes and shouted, "Go to find someone to pay back the money tomorrow, or I will send you to the bureau myself!"

Then he turned around and shouted impatiently at Qin Shi's stepmother, "Don't make any noise; go back to the house and cry!"

The stepmother ran away with her mouth covered and crying. Qin Jianguo, fourth girl, and her brother immediately went after her, which made the old man Qin worse. He spat at Qin Jianguo's back: "Marry your wife and forget your mother!"

When Grandma Qin heard the words, her eyes were like the water faucet that had been turned on, and she was crying even more. It was really sad.

Old Qin couldn't stand it anymore. He took Grandma Qin back to the house, leaving only three of the first family sitting at the table.

The three looked at each other.

Qin Cong asked his mother, "What should we do now?"

The aunt directly picked up chopsticks, picked up eggs, and sent them to her mouth.

How can she eat eggs so freely at ordinary times? Seize the opportunity and eat hard!

While eating, she rolled her eyes at the second room and said, "Today it's time for the second house to wash dishes, and they let her slip away!"

You must let her wash it tomorrow, or you will suffer a big loss.

When Qin Shi returned to the room, she heard that there was a lot of noise in the next room. The man comforted the children but was too busy. She couldn't help but curl her mouth.

They are a family!

If you are the original body, you will have to cry and be sad.

But now it's Qin Shi. She doesn't care. She's got used to it. Her parents are worse than this.

Qin Shi went to fetch water. After washing, she went to bed and was ready to sleep.

Lying on the cold and hard bed, Qin Shi wrapped the quilt tightly and thought that Grandma Qin would not give up money and would not surrender easily.

In addition, even if the matter of buying and selling university quotas in this small village is exposed, it may be suppressed by the village. For them, the face and reputation are more serious, so it is not certain how this matter will be handled.

However, during this time, I should be able to clean them up.

Qin Shi glanced at the locked cabinet, closed her eyes, and prayed in her heart that Lu Zetian would hurry up and come back before the end of the matter.

Lu Zetian, whom she misses, is being pulled by her mother. I don't know where they found this relative who is talking about the family background of "Qin Shi".

In the eyes of this relative, Qin Shi is a smart but silent, honest child. The more Lu Zetian listened, the more he felt that the relative was unreliable and doubted that she was not the same person he met.

But then he returned to the army and made a marriage report. After Lu Zetian got the information about Qin Shi found by the army, the whole person fell into doubt.

The identity background and past in the data are the same as what Qin Shi said on the same day, and the photos are the same. The mole on the bridge of the nose is in the same location, but Lu Zetian feels that the person in the data is not the same as what he saw.

Lu Zetian looked serious and looked up at his leader: "Sir, check it carefully again; I suspect there are some problems..."
