Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 70 Troubled Winter
When Xing Lihua came back, he called for a cart and brought back the sewing machine he bought for Li Yancheng.

Sewing machines are definitely big items in this era. If they were used on any day in the past, there would be a lot of people coming to join in the fun.

Unfortunately, everyone's enthusiasm today seemed to have been exhausted by the big melon just now. After being pulled into the alley, it didn't even cause any waves.

The Standard horizontal sewing machine can be put down and the cover closed when not in use, making it like a small table, which is very convenient.

The price is also good, one hundred and seventy dollars per unit, which is ten dollars more expensive than the ordinary one.

That is to say, Xing Lihua works in a department store, so if Li Yancheng went to buy it himself, he might not be able to buy a horizontal one.

Seeing that Li Yancheng asked someone to buy a sewing machine, Luo Yang looked at it in surprise for a long time.

"Are you planning to get married?"

No wonder he asked this. Generally, if there is no woman in the family, few men would buy this thing.

"What's the matter? Are you planning to marry me?" Li Yancheng glanced at Luo Yang who asked the question.

"Pfft...hahahaha..." His rhetorical question made everyone laugh.

"Go away, I'm asking for the truth."

"I'm telling the truth, how can you ask such a question, who should I marry?"

"Then why did you buy this thing? Isn't it something you prepare for a wedding?" Luo Yang pointed at the sewing machine and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Luo Yang, Brother Da Cheng bought a sewing machine to make clothes for himself."

"What? He can make clothes?" Ning Ning's explanation made Luo Yang's jaw almost drop onto his feet.

He stared at Li Yancheng for a long time as if he was looking at a ghost.

"Can you make clothes?"

"I learned it on the spot. What a pity. The fabric that I had already cut into shape was ruined by those two guys. I have to buy new fabric and start all over again."

Li Yancheng was furious when he saw the cloth he had worked so hard to cut was torn into pieces by the two of them. He felt that this month's work was wasted.

Sewing machines are rare in other courtyards, but they are nothing special in Courtyard No. 20. Every family has one, and the Li family was the last to buy one. Lao Zhao and Jin Zhihai helped put the sewing machine away and didn't bother with it anymore.

After Ningning helped to explain, she began to describe her great achievements in a vivid way, despite being hit on the head by her brother.

This made Jin Zhihai and his wife both laugh and cry.

The fifth and sixth sons of the Qian family were also unlucky. Not only did they not tell anyone about being beaten, they also didn't dare to tell the truth when they got home. After all, they were beaten so badly by a girl. It would be hard to say it out loud. They also had to save face.

"Dacheng, what's going on? I just heard from those people outside on my way back that your house was robbed by the two brothers from the Qian family in Courtyard No. 31?"

When children fight, the adults in the family rarely intervene as long as none of them lose limbs.

Old Zhao was in a hurry to go back and had no intention of listening to what the outsiders said in detail. After Ningning finished telling him about how she beat up the fifth and sixth sons of the Qian family, he couldn't wait to ask.

Over all these years, their yard has never been robbed. It has always been peaceful and everyone has a good relationship with each other.

How come from before the New Year until now, first it was because of the house, and now this incident happened again? Old Zhao is really overwhelmed.

"Almost." Li Yancheng nodded.

He picked up a cigarette from the table and was about to give it to Xing Lihua when he saw Xing Lihua still sitting there. He waved his hand and said, "Lihua, take Ningning back first and see if the wound on her body is serious. Aunt Zhang just applied some medicine on her. If it doesn't work, you should apply some more, otherwise she will suffer tonight." He sent Xing Lihua away because she was pregnant. He felt embarrassed to smoke with her here, although no one noticed this at all. It was like a doctor in a hospital smoking while treating a patient. There were many such cases. This was the general environment.

After she took Ningning away, Li Yancheng scattered cigarettes around and then started to talk about what had just happened.

……

The Criminal Investigation Division of the East City Branch picked up a case today and solved it without much effort.

Because by the time they rushed to the Meishan Police Station to take over the suspect, the Qian brothers had already died.

These two brothers are absolutely ignorant of the law and have no idea how big a mess they are in today.

When questioned by the police from the police station, he said shamelessly that they thought there must be contraband in Li Yancheng's home and they went in to look for them.

Although they didn't find it, they believed that those things were just hidden by Li Yancheng and they did exist.

As for the things that were stolen from Li Yancheng's house and were found on them, they didn't think of it as stealing, but taking.

Even when facing the police's questioning, he still asked with a playful smile when he could go home. He didn't even have lunch and was already hungry.

When the people from the Criminal Investigation Division of the branch came to take them away and told them that based on the things they stole, they would conservatively spend three years in prison, the two brothers were completely panicked.

"Lao Lei, what's going on? How come Li Yancheng's family has so many food coupons? Did he explain where they came from?"

The people from the branch came to bring up the suspect, but Director Li Baohong of the Meishan Branch did not follow them into the interrogation room. Instead, he stood outside and questioned Deputy Director Lei.

"Let me make it clear. Those food coupons are not his. They belong to the city's inspection department, the same department that has a sign hanging at his house."

While Deputy Director Lei was speaking, he and the director calmly gestured to the young men in gray Zhongshan suits who had come with them.

When he heard that the food coupons belonged to that unit, Li Baohong's expression became much more serious.

"real or fake?"

"Old Li, does it matter whether it's true or not? The chief of the Inspection Section 1 came along and said in person that the food coupons were theirs. How can we check? Besides, there's no need for us to check now."

Li Baohong turned his head to look at the interrogation room and shook his head helplessly: "Alas, those two brothers are completely finished this time."

"Director, where is Fan Chunmei? We dare not let others know that she is the one who came to report the case, otherwise, as a widow, she may not have a peaceful life in the future.

No one in the Qian family is a good person. You saw it. Qian Dehan and his wife and their family were crying and wailing there just now, just like they were at a funeral."

"Don't worry, I quietly asked her to go back to work right after you left."

We are all experienced police officers, so of course we know how to protect the person who reports the crime.

"Old Lei, things have been really bad for No. 20 Meishan East Hutong this year. One thing after another has happened."

"That's exactly what happened. I don't know how it happened, but it all ended up in their yard."

"That's not what I'm talking about. It's something else that happened last night, and nobody knows about it yet."

"Is there anything else?"

When Lao Lei heard the director say there was other things, his eyes almost popped out.
