The two of them looked at Li Yuchu at the same time.
"Did you hide it?"
Li Yuchu walked over and slapped each of them once.
"Open your dog eyes wide.
With so many people here, and with Commander Gu and Political Commissar Qi here with their Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, could I possibly pull the wool over their eyes?
If I had that kind of ability, would I still let you two trick me?"
She was filled with righteous indignation.
"Everyone, feel free to have two female family members search me to see if I have hidden anything."
To tell the truth, everyone had been watching her closely just now, and it was impossible for her to have done anything.
Therefore,
Li Yuchu slapped Yang Yunkai again.
"Damn it, you spent my money, and now you come to frame me?
If you had money, why would you be borrowing mine all day long?
However, Song Qian, aren't you a widow?
Where is your husband's pension as a martyr, and the subsidies given to you?
Don't tell me you embezzled them and hid them at your maternal family's home?"
Song Qian's complexion turned deathly pale, and she didn't even care about the slap marks on her face.
"Impossible, how could that pension passbook be gone? I clearly put it in the cabinet."
But no matter how sincere she sounded, the people at the scene no longer believed her.
Just a moment ago, she claimed to be innocent, yet a hickey appeared.
Moreover, who among them had actually seen the passbook with their own eyes?
Li Yuchu looked at Gu Zechen and Political Commissar Qi.
"Both leaders have seen it; they have no money. Since that is the case, let's do as the leaders said and deduct it from their salary every month!
However, I still implore the leaders to investigate thoroughly and at least get some of it back for me.
After all, I won't even have travel money to go home in a few days!
And for these two days, I can only have one bowl of thin porridge a day!"
Gu Zechen frowned.
"The organization will take good care of you!"
...
Just when others thought the excitement was over, Li Yuchu proposed a new request.
"Two leaders, Yang Yunkai deceived me and toyed with my feelings.
He is involved in an unclear relationship with another woman.
Regardless of whether he has other issues,
shouldn't he be punished?"
Gu Zechen's gaze swept over Yang Yunkai and Song Qian.
"Of course!"
Li Yuchu smiled like a flower.
"That's good. In that case, shouldn't Song Qian also be dealt with?"
Gu Zechen did not answer directly this time, but deliberated for a moment.
"We will see after the investigation is clear!"
Li Yuchu said sarcastically,
"Just because she is a widow? On what grounds?
Her situation is a result of your poor work.
The country has regulations on how to compensate widows,
yet you condoned her moving into the bridal chamber belonging to me and Yang Yunkai. Do you arrange things this way for other widows too?
That would be truly interesting. From now on, everyone will be hoping for their husbands to die so they can do whatever they want in the family courtyard. How wonderful!"
Gu Zechen's face stiffened.
"I will give you an explanation!"
Li Yuchu corrected him.
"Wrong. It is not an explanation for me, but an explanation for those in the compound who have suffered injustice just like me!"
Political Commissar Qi felt like his head was going to explode.
She looked like such a kind girl usually, so why did she suddenly turn into a Little Pepper?
"Little Li, rest assured, we will definitely give you an explanation!"
Li Yuchu looked at the time on the wall.
August 16, 1974.
"I would appreciate it if it were as soon as possible.
Commander Gu, Political Commissar Qi, I, Li Yuchu, am determined to get justice!"
Gu Zechen took one last deep look at her before leaving with his men!
...
After locking the door, her hands trembled with excitement, and she vanished from the spot in an instant.
After her soul had completely merged, the space she previously couldn't open could finally be put to use.
As soon as she entered, three passbooks and a stack of money tickets were right in front of her.
That's right, those two animals, Yang Yunkai, were not lying.
This was all their money.
The three passbooks totaled over nine thousand.
The largest one had four thousand, which should be Battalion Commander Sun's pension.
She would give it to Battalion Commander Sun's parents when she had the opportunity, but it would absolutely never return to Song Qian's hands.
In addition, the scattered cash amounted to nearly four or five hundred.
She was rich!
After putting the money away, she looked around the space.
Not only was there magical Spirit Spring Water and land, but there was also the multi-story department store from her home in the 21st century.
What surprised her most was that the space's functions were incredibly powerful.
Everything inside was high-tech; with just a thought, she could control things at will, and the crops and fruit trees inside were all automatically watered and harvested.
The space could move thirty meters, and she could see what was happening outside clearly.
Such a heaven-defying existence was simply invincible!
She looked in the mirror again.
This face was still charming and moving, with fair, delicate skin that seemed to break at a touch!
How wonderful!
Li Yuchu had a hearty meal in the space and drank some Spirit Spring Water.
She changed into a slightly worn, discolored white skirt and applied a light, sickly-looking makeup.
She was about to start her performance!
Why?
Because she didn't quite believe Gu Zechen and Political Commissar Qi. They would likely mediate back and forth, and perhaps only put Yang Yunkai in solitary confinement for a few days.
As for Song Qian's cousin, Chai Laowu, they might not be able to find him in a short time.
After all, Song Qian hid things too deeply.
But she, Li Yuchu, could not wait.
She wanted to see that pair of scoundrels punished; she wanted to create public opinion pressure, and she wanted to complain to a superior—a cross-border complaint!
She knew before that if there were problems in the military unit that weren't solved in time, a cross-border complaint would definitely hit the mark!
There was no help for it; who told her to have such good connections?
Although her Eldest Brother was in the Army, her Eldest Sister-in-law was a genuine member of the Air Force, and she had a biological father who was an Air Force Army Commander.
Although her Eldest Sister was an ordinary staff member, her Eldest brother-in-law was a Naval Regiment Commander who was extremely protective of his own!
She was determined to file this complaint, and she would definitely win!
...
"Li Yatou, where are you going? You poor thing, your eyes are all swollen from crying!"
Li Yuchu wiped her tears.
"Aunt Zhou, I am going to call my parents. I am not getting married anymore. I won't eat such half-cooked rice."
Aunt Zhou sighed.
"Who says it isn't so? You have such good conditions, you could pick any young man you want!"
Li Yuchu shook her head desperately.
"I'm not considering it for now. I just want to go home.
I consider myself much better than Song Qian, yet Yang Yunkai was still fickle. From now on, I dare not trust this man!"
Before long, word spread in the family courtyard that Li Yuchu had been so stimulated that she was now afraid of men and marriage!
Some even made up rumors that she was so distraught she wanted to commit suicide!
Li Yuchu arrived at the town post office during its busiest time; the high foot traffic was perfect for her to perform!
Thus, having sprayed some tear-inducing agent, she quickly became the focus of the crowd.
One could see more and more people leaning in to listen as she cried and wailed while making her phone call.
"Eldest Sister-in-law, wuwuwu,
that bastard Yang Yunkai slept with a widow surnamed Song last night,
and my money and tickets were all snatched away. I don't even have food to eat at night! Wuwuwu!"
...
"Eldest brother-in-law, it's Chuchu, wuwuwu,
tell Eldest Sister that I might never have a chance to see her again. I am being bullied to death...
That pair of scoundrels are setting traps for me everywhere,
making it difficult for me to move forward in the family courtyard; even the dogs want to bite me! Wuwuwu!"
...
