Chapter 59 Beating the drum and passing tricks to blow up Yi Zhonghai (page 12)
Of course Xiang Yunduan knew about the eradication of the four pests. In fact, the eradication in the countryside was even more ruthless.
Flies and mosquitoes are difficult to deal with. The solution is to kill insect eggs. Needless to say mice, both dogs and cats in the countryside are capable of catching mice, but not many people keep cats and dogs these days.
Xiang Yunduan has dogs at home, firstly because he is half a hunter, and occasionally goes hunting in the mountains during slack periods, and secondly, keeping dogs can also prevent wild boars from harming farmland.
Among the four pests, the one that is truly most harmful to humans is definitely the sparrow.
The harm of the other three pests mainly focuses on spreading diseases, such as malaria, dysentery, cholera, dengue fever, etc.
Based on the medical conditions of this era, these diseases are relatively fatal. The key is that they can easily spread on a large scale.
Speaking of which, the Chinese people's habit of drinking boiled water was gradually developed because of this.
As for the sparrow, the main reason is that this guy is too harmful to crops.
The wheat yield from one acre of land is now only 1,890 kilograms, which is considered a good harvest due to favorable weather conditions. If sparrows are allowed to cause harm again, it will be even worse.
Therefore, since the announcement of the elimination of the four pests, sparrows in the countryside have suffered a lot, caught with nets and shot with slingshots.
But now that I heard Aunt Wang's words, it seemed that the higher-ups had realized the importance of sparrows in the ecological niche.
In contrast, Xiang Yunduan is certainly welcome.
"Okay, now that the announcement is over, let's all leave and go do whatever you need to do!"
After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she announced the dissolution of the hospital meeting.
Soon, most of the neighbors left, and Xiang Yunduan was also preparing to return to the house. He had been harvesting wheat all day, and even his strengthened body was suffering from backache. He was ready to wash up and rest early.
"Comrade Xiaoxiang, wait a moment!"
Xiang Yunduan just turned around, but he didn't expect Aunt Wang's voice to sound.
"Aunt Wang, do you have anything to do with me?" Xiang Yunduan asked doubtfully.
"Yes! Come, let's talk here!"
Aunt Wang came up and took Xiang Yunduan's arm and walked to the corner of the yard.
Xiang Yunduan did not resist, but he saw that the two police comrades who came with Aunt Wang were also following him, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at him with some vigilance.
Moreover, he also discovered that after the conference was over, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu did not go back to the house, but stood on the verandah in front of their house, looking here with a sneer on their faces, and whispering to each other from time to time. Don't know what you are talking about.
In addition, Yi Zhonghai, who is opposite the Jia family, also did not go home at this time.
Not only did he not go home, Yi Zhonghai also followed him. Without waiting for Aunt Wang to speak, he spoke first: "Xiaoxiang, Aunt Wang came here today mainly because of your sudden spending a lot of money on bicycles and watches.
You, a person who has just moved to the city from the countryside less than a month ago and has not even received your salary, how do you suddenly have so much money?
I advise you to tell the truth quickly and strive for leniency. The police comrades are here to watch. If you resist stubbornly and try to get away with it, be careful and you will be punished with a higher penalty. "
Yi Zhonghai may have had two previous confrontations with Xiang Yunduan, but he did not take advantage, but was in a very embarrassing situation, so when he spoke at this moment, his tone was filled with an inexplicable meaning, as if he had already seen Xiang Yunduan. Yun Duan was captured and then shot like a target.
"Master Yi, from what you said, it seems that the money I spent on buying bicycles and watches were all illegal gains? Do you have evidence? Also, what does it mean to come from the country? What happened to people from the country? You look down on country people. ?" Xiang Yunduan said with narrowed eyes.
He realized at this moment that it seemed that someone had connected him with criminals and reported it to the neighborhood committee and the police station.
I was wondering just now. There is no need for Aunt Wang to come in person about the content of today's meeting. Can't the three stewards just inform it? This is also the responsibility of the three of them.
Unexpectedly, announcing the elimination of the Four Pests was just a matter of course, but coming to ask him about it was more serious business.
"You... since when did I look down on country people? Don't blame me randomly.
It’s totally unreasonable for you to suddenly have so much money. Although everything you bought is second-hand, the bicycle costs at least seventy or eighty yuan, not to mention the watch. If you don’t have one hundred yuan, don’t even think about it. How do you explain so much money? "
Yi Zhonghai glanced at Aunt Wang and saw that Aunt Wang was a little unhappy. He quickly dismissed the countryman's matter and focused on the money issue.
"what are you doing?"
After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Xiang Yunduan was too lazy to argue with him and reached into his trouser pocket.
This time, Yi Zhonghai was startled, and he hid far away.
The two police comrades next to him also stretched their hands to the lower back at this time. It seemed that they were also suspicious of Xiang Yunduan's identity.
After all, what Yi Zhonghai said just now actually makes some sense.
"Comrades, don't be nervous, I have no weapons on me!"
As Xiang Yunduan spoke, he slowly took his hand out of his trouser pocket and spread it out. There were two invoices in his palm.
He handed the invoice to Aunt Wang, who kept a straight face, and said: "Aunt Wang, this is the receipt for the bicycle and watch I bought. It's not as much as Yi Zhonghai said, it's only one hundred and thirty yuan in total. Take a look. I bought all the things at the commissioned store in Dongdan, and they still have seals on them!"
"Ok!"
Seeing that Xiang Yunduan had a good attitude, Aunt Wang's face softened, she nodded and said, "So, can you tell me the origin of your one hundred and thirty yuan? After all, it seems that your income is hard to come by all at once. So much money, and when you registered your household registration, the description of your hometown in the countryside was that you were a third-generation farmhand, right? It seems unlikely that your family will use the money to buy you a bicycle and a watch!"
“Our family is indeed a third-generation farm laborer. However, because our family is at the foot of a mountain, we occasionally go up to the mountain to hunt, collect herbs, and so on.
The reason why I had money to buy a watch and a bicycle was because I recently made a fortune in the mountains. First I collected a large pile of Ganoderma lucidum, and then I found a bee hive and obtained more than ten kilograms of honey and royal jelly.
I sold these two things at Tongrentang, and it happened during this period. You can go to Tongrentang for verification. I believe the masters there should still have an impression of me.
I can come along if necessary. "
Xiang Yunduan was in a hurry to rest and had no time to waste, so he directly revealed the origin of the money.
"Oh? So that's how it is!"
Aunt Wang was a little surprised after hearing what Xiang Yunduan said. She had never encountered this kind of thing before, so she never thought that Xiang Yunduan's money came from this.
But this sounds very reasonable.
"Comrade Yi Zhonghai, how are you feeling now? You look a little unhappy from this look? Haven't you always talked about the advanced courtyard? Why, do you hope that there will be a criminal in our courtyard? ? Or an enemy agent?"
Xiang Yunduan looked at Yi Zhonghai, who was not far away. The way this guy ran away just now perfectly explained what it means to fight against the power of a dog.
