He tricked his amnesiac partner into becoming crippled.

Chapter 118 The Educated Youth: Her Radiant Beauty

"Wen, the educated youth?" A worried voice called from outside the door, "Have you lost anything?"

Wen Yan quickly placed the money in different locations, then rubbed her eyes hard. Her eyes were red and she leaned against the wall as she walked out, her voice trembling with despair: "The money... is all gone."

"What! Wen Zhiqing, you're even worse off than us..."

"Hey, you look so miserable, what happened?"

Xia Fengying walked in calmly, carrying a hoe. Her sharp eyes glanced at Wen Yan's miserable state, and she felt a sense of satisfaction.

"You look like you've lost all your money; anyone who didn't know better would think you'd lost it all..."

The male educated youth who first discovered the money was missing added weakly, "Educated Youth Wen really lost all his money."

what? !

Heaven has opened its eyes; it's truly a joyous occasion that all the money from the vixen has been plundered.

"Liang Peng, are you serious?"

Xia Fengying was overjoyed by the unexpected good news, her face beaming with undisguised schadenfreude.

Liang Peng frowned almost imperceptibly: "Our money is gone too, and so is Li Zhiguo's."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fengying's smile faltered.

It's one thing if one person loses money, but it's not a small matter if three people lose money. Could it be that a thief broke into the house?

Without thinking twice, she hurriedly bumped past Wen Yan and ran into the room to search.

A moment later, Xia Fengying's high-pitched voice rang out:

"Mine is gone too!!"

When he came out again, his face was ashen: "If I catch him, I'll make him pay!"

The educated youth gathered at the settlement one by one, and when they returned to the room, they found that the money was indeed gone.

The group of people, who were already cunning with eight hundred schemes, saw their cunning skyrocket to eight thousand after this incident.

"Let's search them one by one."

Xia Fengying suggested.

“No, what if we find their personal belongings?” one of the female educated youths immediately objected.

"So what are you going to do? So many people have lost money, and all you're thinking about are your few pieces of clothing?"

Xia Fengying immediately retorted.

The scene was ready to ignite at any moment.

"How about we find a witness and then search it again?"

In the tense atmosphere, Chi Yanyan's hesitant voice stood out.

She kept her head down, barely noticeable, and Xia Fengying didn't even know when she had returned.

However, no one objected to her words.

Upon hearing this, Liang Peng immediately ran to invite the village chief.

Chi Yanyan watched the departing figure, then lowered her head and smiled secretly.

The village chief arrived quickly; after all, it was a serious matter of losing money. Not only did he come, but the production team leader and the women's director also came.

Liang Peng had already explained it to him on the way, and he made the decision as soon as he arrived: search.

They searched for male educated youth first, and the production team leader was the one they approached.

He overturned the wooden plank bed and searched it thoroughly, but found nothing.

He then shook his head with a somber expression.

The village chief's face was grave. Losing money was a small matter, but losing it in their village was a big deal.

If it turns out that a villager stole it, wouldn't that be like stepping on his face?

"Search the room of the female educated youth."

After hearing this, the women's director walked into the room and, following the example of the production team leader, flipped up the bed board.

"This is……"

She picked up a small cloth bag that had fallen out of the cotton wadding; it was bulging, and next to it was a white, thread-bound notebook.

Perhaps due to frequent handling, the notebook cover has begun to yellow.

A look of panic flashed across Chi Yanyan's eyes. She burst forth with unprecedented brute force, pushing through the crowd and picking up the notebook even faster than the women's director.

She clutched her notebook tightly, her eyes filled with fear and unease as she looked at the women's director, whose face was grim as she approached. The next second, she screamed:

"Don't touch my notebook."

Her body was hunched over in a unique protective posture, her fierce eyes like those of a vicious dog protecting its cubs, and her exhaled breath caused her chest to heave.

It was as if that shout had exhausted all her strength.

The educated youth were startled; they had never seen Chi Yanyan so paranoid and deranged, as if possessed by something evil.

But to become the women's director, one must have a very high level of ideological awareness. No matter what kind of ghosts or monsters you are, the director's heart is filled with the red star.

She first opened the cloth bag in front of everyone. A stack of bills looked like a hot potato to her hands. Her pupils widened in shock, and her hands trembled as she held them.

"It's mine! That money is mine!"

One of the educated youth in the crowd immediately shouted excitedly.

In this day and age, money lost is essentially wasted; the chances of getting it back are even lower than finding money on the street.

He hurriedly explained to everyone that he had a habit of writing small characters on money, and that the handwriting was obviously his. Fearing that people wouldn't believe him, he even brought out a copy of the handwriting for comparison.

After the village chief and everyone else read it, they all nodded in agreement, proving that what he said was true.

"Since everyone has lost money, let's check if the amounts match up?"

The women's director was in charge of bookkeeping, checking the money and receipts one by one.

"Why are two tickets missing?"

She frowned and looked up in confusion, her eyes falling on Chi Yanyan, who had automatically disappeared into the crowd.

She still clung to the sewn notebook, her posture like that of a frightened bird.

The women's director said in a kind voice, "Comrade Chi, may I have a look at your notebook?"

Chi Yanyan refused decisively: "No way!"

As she spoke, she hugged him even tighter.

The people in charge exchanged glances and decided to take it by force.

It's now clear that the money and tickets were found in Chi Yanyan's blanket, with the notebook sandwiched in between.

She was so cautious it was almost abnormal.

It's really weird.

You must see it.
