Chapter 5:
"One thousand!" Everyone in the Qin family exclaimed.
"You really did such a great thing without saying a word!" The uncle admired her mother-in-law.
"What about the money? That's Erni's quota, shouldn't the money belong to our second wife?" Qin Shi's stepmother stared.
"Mom, did you really sell it for a thousand yuan?" Qin Shi's father couldn't help being surprised.
Grandma Qin saw the bright eyes of the whole family, and they all asked her about the whereabouts of the money, and yelled at them angrily: "If it wasn't for the second brother's leg injury, can I sell it? Money, money, money! I know the money, and the money is spent." No, no!"
After yelling at everyone, Grandma Qin pointed her cannon at Qin Shi again, "You're the only one who doesn't stop every day, every time you go out and come back, you're like a moth!"
"Give me a rest and wait at home to get married!"
Qin Shi looked at the stubborn Grandma Qin, and didn't argue at all, "Grandma, you should return the money to her earlier, buying and selling university places is against the law, and you will be arrested and put in prison."
Grandma Qin was scared back when she wanted to curse, but then she remembered that her aunt's natal family had also sold her, and after she was not arrested, she immediately became confident again, "Fart!"
Qin Shi put down her chopsticks, took out the newspaper that she found after running all afternoon from the town today, and handed it to Grandma Qin to read: "Grandma, it's really breaking the law. Look, many people have been arrested gone."
It has only been two years since the resumption of the college entrance examination, and there are countless people who have secretly replaced and bought and sold university places.
It's just that the village is backward, and the villagers are ignorant or commit crimes knowingly.
Grandma Qin stared at Qin Shi, full of anger: "I don't want to watch it!"
Seeing that she didn't answer, Qin Shi put the newspaper beside her, picked up the bowl and started to drink the leftover porridge.
Hmm... the sweet potatoes are good, but the rice is not good, and the porridge cook is also perfunctory, which makes the taste of the porridge three points worse.
The aunt picked up the newspaper and saw a row of handcuffed people on it, her heart skipped a beat, and she handed the newspaper to her precious son Qin Cong for him to read.
"What's written on it!"
Qin Cong saw the title at a glance. After a glance, he found that the picture on the picture was indeed a business transaction, and he was arrested for forcibly grabbing a university place. He was shocked.
He looked at Grandma Qin in a panic, and quickly said, "Grandma, it's true, you will really be caught in the police!"
"Ah!" Grandma Qin panicked, "I can't, someone else bought it too! Why are they okay? I don't want to get involved, I don't want to..."
Grandma Qin was a standard rural woman, ignorant, and naturally afraid of the police and the police station. When she heard that she would be locked up in the police station, she was terrified.
"So mom, you really bought a thousand yuan for Sini University?" Qin Shi's stepmother didn't believe that she spent all the money. There was nothing to consume in the countryside, and she didn't go to the town. The money must still be hidden. .
"Yes, Mom..." The auntie was not stupid, she opened the door to ask, but was interrupted by Uncle Qin's roar.
"What time is it? I don't want to find a way to help your mother, but I'm still thinking about money here, huh?"
The old man Qin, who had been watching silently, patted the table, and the audience immediately became silent. No one dared to do it again, and even Grandma Qin's crying stopped.
Grandma Qin cried for a while, then continued to howl, looking pitiful and anxious. Not to mention being locked up in the police station, Grandma Qin was afraid even if she passed by the police station. She was afraid, cared for Qian and felt ashamed, and she cried so sadly.
Old man Qin looked at Qin Shi, seeing that she was still eating like a normal person, his heart sank from anger.
He didn't expect that Er Ni, who usually seemed to be docile, was actually so cold and cruel.
"Erni." Uncle Qin said, "Your grandma didn't do it right, but you can't watch her go in, can you? Think of a way."
Qin Shi: "If you surrender yourself, the police may see that you have a good attitude, and they may give you a lighter sentence."
"Then you have to go to jail!" Grandma Qin cried, "Everyone sells it, why can't I sell it? Why don't the police arrest me?"
When Qin Shi heard this, she turned to look at her: "Do you know who sold it? Report it. I heard that there is a bonus for reporting. I don't know if it's true or not."
Grandma Qin lowered her crying when she heard that there was a bonus, but she thought in her heart that the person was a relative of her natal family, and she reported it herself, what would her natal family think of her? This relative will definitely not be able to get along well, and will be pointed out by others.
So he resumed his previous high-pitched, cadenced crying.
"Grandma, don't cry!"
"Second sister, is there any other way?"
"Isn't it okay for others to buy and sell? I think it's okay."
The Qin family talked in a hurry, the dining table was in a mess, except for Qin Shi, no one else paid attention to the food on the table.
Qin Shi automatically blocked their voices, looked at the scrambled eggs on the plate, and thought it was a pity, thinking that there would be trouble when she came back today, and she would not be able to eat.
If I had known, I would not have bought those two biscuits.
"The police don't know about other people's affairs. If they find out, they must take care of them." Qin Shi put down the bowl and said, "My classmates know about it, and others must know about it too. You should return the money to them as soon as possible. Get your quota back."
"Yes, yes, we will pay back the money!" Qin Cong nodded again and again: "It will 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 one thousand yuan in her heart.
The monthly salary of regular workers is only more than 30 yuan, 1,000 yuan! What about the salary of more than two years or nearly three years, who is willing?
Not to mention the auntie, everyone present except Qin Shi couldn't bear it. But now if you don't pay back the money, you will go to jail, and you have to be willing if you don't want to.
"Take out the money and return it to others!"
"Yes, grandma."
Old man Qin and Qin Cong kept trying to persuade Grandma Qin.
The uncle, uncle, and Qin Shi's stepmother were all reluctant to part with the huge sum of money, but due to filial piety, they couldn't just watch Grandma Qin go in, so no one said anything, just watched in silence.
Grandma Qin covered her heart and kept crying, saying nothing to take out the money, and finally got annoyed by persuasion, crying and shouting: "If you ask for money, there is no life! If it's a big deal, I'll get into a mess, and people will take care of food and shelter." Woolen cloth!"
The stepmother raised her head when she heard the words, and when Grandma Qin saw her obviously moved eyes, she howled "Aww" and cried even louder.
"You want me to go in and divide the money, right? Conscientious bastard! What have I done to beg a daughter-in-law like you!"
The stepmother was looked at with unkind eyes by everyone, and immediately retorted: "Mom, what are you talking about! 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 conscience-stricken product. I have been married to Qin Jianguo for so many years, took care of my two children, and gave birth to your family. Son, if there is no credit, there is hard work, how can you do this!"
"Privately sold our Erni's university quota, and now you say that about me, I...I'm dead!"
Qin Shi looked at her stepmother lying on the dinner table crying and looking for death, crying with Grandma Qin, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
This stepmother is also an acting school, amazing, no wonder the original owner's father was tortured to death.
The crying duet, one was louder than the other, and the cadence was higher and lower than the other, which made Qin Shi's brain swell when he heard it.
She finished the last sip of porridge in the bowl, put the bowl down, and said to everyone: "I have said everything that needs to be said, you can figure it out yourself, I will go back to the house first."
After finishing speaking, he simply got up and left.
Old man Qin looked at her back, and thought of the newspaper she said she would not marry, and then took out the newspaper, and his heart felt cold.
The child has grown up to become a disaster. I knew that I shouldn't have stopped the old woman back then. I drowned her at that time. Now there are not so many things!
The old man Qin looked at him bitterly, turned his head and yelled at Grandma Qin: "Go find someone to pay back the money tomorrow, or I will send you to the police with my own hands!"
Then he turned his head and shouted impatiently at Qin Shi's stepmother: "Stop arguing, you have to go back to the house and cry!"
The stepmother covered her mouth and ran away crying, Qin Jianguo, Sini and her younger brother immediately chased after him, which made the old man Qin feel even worse, and spat at Qin Jianguo's back: "I married a wife and forgot my mother! "
When Grandma Qin heard this, her eyes were like a faucet that had been turned on, and tears were streaming down her face. She was really sad.
The old man Qin couldn't stand it anymore, and took Grandma Qin back to the house, leaving only the eldest aunt's family and three of them sitting at the dinner table.
The three looked at each other.
Qin Cong asked his mother: "What should we do now?"
The aunt directly picked up the chopsticks, picked up the egg and put it in her mouth, "What can I do after eating, people can't starve to death."
How could she eat eggs so recklessly, eat! Take the opportunity to eat hard!
While eating, he rolled his eyes at the second room, "It's time for the second room to do the dishes today, and she slipped away again!"
I must let her wash it tomorrow, or I will suffer a big loss.
Qin Shi, who came back to the house, heard a lot of commotion next door, the man was comforting the child, it was so lively, she couldn't help curling her lips.
They are a family!
If this was the original body, he would definitely cry again and die of grief.
But now it's Qin Shi, she doesn't care at all, she's used to it long ago, her parents are so much better than this pair.
Qin Shi went to fetch water, washed up and went to bed, ready to sleep.
Lying on the cold and hard bed, Qin Shi wrapped the quilt tightly, thinking that Grandma Qin must be reluctant to part with the money, and would not surrender easily.
Moreover, in this small village, even if the matter of buying and selling university places is revealed, it may be suppressed by the village. It is more serious for them to face and reputation, so it is not certain what will happen to this matter.
But during this time, I should be able to clean 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 this matter was over.
And Lu Zetian, whom she was thinking about, was being dragged by her mother, listening to relatives who didn't know where, talking about the family background of "Qin Shi".
According to this relative, Qin Shi is a clever but taciturn and honest child. The more Lu Zetian listened, the more he felt that this relative was unreliable, and suspected that what she said was not the same person he had met.
But after returning to the army, he filed a marriage report, and after Lu Zetian got the information on Qin Shi from the army, he fell into suspicion.
The identity, background and past in the file are exactly what Qin Shi said that day, and the photo is the same, the small mole on the bridge of the nose is in the same position, but Lu Zetian feels that the person on the file is not the same as the one he met.
Lu Zetian looked serious, and looked up at his leader: "Master, please check carefully, I suspect there is something wrong..."
