Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1516 Good Luck Continues (5)
Without mentioning Linlang's plans, she said that although the work in the workshop was hard, the good thing was that people in this era were all on the same plate, so it was impossible for them to be too diligent. If they were too diligent, others might find them annoying and not want to work on the same assembly line with them.

Therefore, people generally felt that as long as they could get the maximum piece-rate wage, they would be done, and they would never do more, so it was not as hard as the assembly line work in later generations.

Linlang is very satisfied with this job because it doesn't require much brainpower, isn't too strenuous, and she can eat in the cafeteria at noon.

The only thing she's unhappy about right now is that she doesn't have her own room and has to share a room and bed with that disgusting Li Qiuyun. It's so annoying; she has no privacy and has to see that awful person every day. It's unbearable. She wonders where she can find a place to rent. She plans to use that as an excuse to rent a place elsewhere once things fall apart with Li Qiuyun.

The original owner of this body worked hard to save money and was reluctant to spend a single penny, but Linlang was willing to spend it. Anyway, she knew that making money would be easy in the future, so there was no need to get entangled with Li Qiuyun and others every day just to save a little money.

Thinking of this, Linlang began to have the little bee investigate whether anyone in the vicinity had a house to rent or sell. Once she had a falling out with Li Qiuyun, she would use that as an excuse to stay outside.

Linlang thought that by giving Li Qiuyun a chance to join the propaganda department, Li Qiuyun wouldn't be jealous of her anymore, and perhaps she wouldn't steal her things anymore, which would change the plot of the original world.

As it turned out, Linlang underestimated human nature—Li Qiuyun still targeted her belongings.

It seems that in the original world, Li Qiuyun would steal things from the original owner after she joined the propaganda department. Although there was a reason of jealousy, it was more because she was a person who liked to steal things by nature.

Linlang saw Li Qiuyun make her move through the small bee's surveillance footage.

Li Qiuyun came home early that day, probably because she had taken leave to come back early. As soon as she got back, she unzipped her pillow. The pillows in the Li family all had zippers for easy cleaning. Li Qiuyun worked at the textile factory, so she could get her hands on these things.

The original owner simply unzipped the pillow and stuffed money and other valuables into the cotton.

Right now, Li Qiuyun is rummaging around inside.

She actually pulled out a cloth-wrapped bag, which made her very happy. Afraid that Linlang would come back, she didn't even have time to look at it before stuffing it into her pocket. Then, pretending to take some melon seeds from her room, she slowly strolled outside, intending to find a corner to secretly peek at how much money Linlang had in her bag.

Just as Li Qiuyun ran to the corner of the alley to look at the contents of the cloth bag, Linlang swayed back and entered the house, then let out a deafening scream. Li's parents and others were attracted by her loud scream, and even the neighbors in the same courtyard were drawn over.

—This was also Linlang's intention. The original owner didn't make such a big fuss back then, so the neighbors didn't know that Li Qiuyun had stolen things. But Linlang wouldn't hide things from Li Qiuyun. Even if she went along with it and Grandma Li stopped her from reporting to the police and didn't send Li Qiuyun to work on the sewing machine, she still wanted the neighbors to have the idea that "Li Qiuyun would steal things" and ruin her reputation.

Li's mother was the most concerned about her. As soon as she heard Linlang's scream, she rushed over and asked, "What happened? What happened?" Linlang pointed to the pillow that was torn to shreds on the bed and said, "The money and tickets I hid in the pillow are gone! That's money I've worked so hard to save for years! Waaaaah, who stole my money?"

Seeing Li Qiuyun return with a bad expression, Linlang rushed forward and, without asking any questions, slapped her hard across the face, saying, "You stole it, didn't you? You've always liked to steal my things!"

Since the original owner of this body had never beaten Li Qiuyun, Linlang wouldn't hold back against her.

Recently, Linlang has been practicing martial arts. Although it has been a short time, she has at least become stronger. In addition, she caught Li Qiuyun off guard and made her face swell up instantly.

When Linlang accused her of stealing, she immediately protested, "I didn't steal it! Don't wrong me."

That damned Li Linlang, she never imagined she could be so scheming!

Excitedly, she ran to a corner of the alley to see how much money was in the bag. After unpacking layer after layer, she finally opened it and found only a few pieces of paper inside. She had thought there was money wrapped inside!

Clearly, Li Linlang had long suspected her of being dishonest, so she deliberately pretended to hide the money and tickets in her pillow to lure her into stealing them. Now, she was deliberately twisting the truth and smearing her, so how could she possibly admit it?

Linlang said, "We live together. If my things are missing, who else could it be but you who stole them! It's fine if you don't admit it, I'll go to the police station and get the police!"

These words made Li Qiuyun panic.

Although Linlang had moved the items beforehand and Li Qiuyun hadn't stolen anything, if Linlang reported her to the police, and the police investigated and found that she had touched Linlang's pillow, even if she said she didn't steal it, she wouldn't be able to explain herself. Even if she eventually cleared her name, she didn't want to be called in for questioning by the police. If that got out, how could her reputation be repaired? After all, rumors easily spread in this kind of large compound, and who knew what would happen in the end? If that happened, it would be even harder for her to find a suitable partner.

So even though she didn't steal anything, Li Qiuyun didn't want to be found by the police. In the end, she was forced into a corner by Linlang. When Linlang told everyone not to disturb the scene and that she was going to call the police, she quickly pulled her grandmother aside and hurriedly told her grandmother that she had stolen Linlang's things but found that there was no money inside. She also told her grandmother that she had been tricked by Linlang and asked her grandmother to stop Linlang from reporting to the police.

Grandma Li was surprised that her eldest granddaughter wanted to steal her younger granddaughter's things, but since her eldest granddaughter hadn't succeeded, she was determined to help her avoid this trouble. Of course, even if her eldest granddaughter had succeeded, she couldn't let her younger granddaughter report it to the police and ruin her eldest granddaughter's reputation.

Then she thought, "So my granddaughter is so cunning? I never would have guessed. She used to seem so naive. From a young age, she always gave everything to Li Qiuyun and never gave anything to her. She just said a few sweet words and made her think that her grandmother was so good to her and that she was close to her. It made her mother angry and called her stupid. I was secretly pleased. How come she's so smart now and has even schemed against her eldest granddaughter?"

Seeing Linlang about to leave, Grandma Li disregarded the shocking news and, just like in the original world, quickly stopped Linlang from going out, saying, "Why are you calling the police! You'll make a fool of our family! Besides, it's bad luck to have the police search the house!"
