Chapter 8 Fan Yaqing reported it to the police.
With so many children in the family, she couldn't possibly take care of each child's emotions, and her eldest daughter played a significant role in this regard.
The children all listened to their eldest sister, but when they were naughty or made mistakes, she would slap them mercilessly on the bottom.
The Tong sisters had a happy and fulfilling childhood!
After a short rest following lunch, Tong Yuheng and his mother reported on the results of their respective operations.
Tong Jiahui had already approached Deputy Factory Director Zhang and arranged to transfer Tong Linsheng's job to his son. Tong Jiahui asked for 800 yuan, but Deputy Factory Director Zhang insisted on giving 1,000 yuan, adding that he would provide them with some cotton and cloth to make cotton-padded clothes for the children.
Cotton was in high demand and very difficult to obtain at that time. They probably used up all their cotton ration coupons, even those intended for their own children.
There are cunning schemers like the Fan family in this world, and there are also loyal and devoted colleagues like Deputy Factory Director Zhang. There are still more good people than bad in this world...
I've already spoken with Deputy Factory Director Zhang; the handover procedures will be completed when the girls receive their graduation certificates and sign up to go to the countryside. If people find out too early, something might go wrong.
Deputy Factory Director Zhang has a son and a daughter. His daughter is sixteen and in her first year of high school. Because she is delicate and frail, her family couldn't bear to send her to the countryside, so they had her take over her mother's job. She just started working last month.
My son, Zhang Xu, is eighteen years old and in his final year of high school. He's also taking the early graduation exam and is preparing to go to the countryside. As a man, he's a responsible person.
But his mother couldn't bear to part with him. He was her only son, and the thought of him going to the countryside and only coming back once every few years made her heart ache, and she even fell ill because of it.
Tong Jiahui was extremely grateful that she was willing to give up her husband's job. Now their son had a job and wouldn't have to go to the countryside anymore!
Even the factory manager wouldn't dare cheat in the recruitment exam and let his son get in directly, especially since everyone knew his son wasn't a good student.
Tong Jiahui took the initiative to transfer Tong Linsheng's job, which made him feel a little guilty. He felt sorry for Lao Tong and couldn't bear to take away the job that he had risked his life to leave for the children.
Tong Jiahui sincerely told him about her family's current situation. If they stayed any longer, there was a risk that even more powerful people would be targeting them, so it was better to leave.
With things settled here, Tong Yuheng went to school that afternoon as if nothing had happened. She still had to register for the early graduation exam!
After the two afternoon classes, police officers came to the school looking for the Tong Yuheng sisters. The two were questioned separately, and Tong Yuheng learned that Fan Yaqing had woken up and reported it to the police.
The person who came to inquire was a young woman who had just been assigned to a new job. She was stunned by Tong Yuheng's cool and beautiful face, and after a moment of stunned silence, she immediately became serious and asked:
"Hello, Tong Yuheng, are you familiar with Fan Yaqing?"
"We're fairly familiar, but not really. We've been classmates for almost two years; no one would believe we're not close!"
"So, what do you do during your lunch break, and who are you with?"
"After school, my younger sister Yuyao and I went home, had lunch, rested at home for about half an hour, and then came back to school."
"Yes, Fan Yaqing didn't come to school this afternoon. What happened to her? What's wrong?" Tong Yuheng's voice was laced with obvious schadenfreude!
"Don't ask about that yet. I heard you had a conflict with her this morning. What was the reason?" the junior police officer continued to ask impatiently.
"She slandered me, saying I was dating her cousin. Why wouldn't I punish her? If she tries to ruin my reputation again, I'll punish her again!"
"Hitting someone is wrong! Who saw you and your sister going home together?" the police officer asked.
"The old man who guards the school gate, and Aunt Zhang, our neighbor in the residential compound, help my sister and me get home before noon. We also help my mom serve rice and dishes, and then we eat and rest."
"I will verify what you've said! I hope you're not lying!"
Tong Yuheng: Pshaw! From the moment I ran out to ambush Fan Yaqing, knocked her unconscious, retrieved the jade pendant, and cut her hair, to reuniting with my sister, it took no more than ten minutes. Unless there are eyewitnesses at the scene, no one can confirm that I was the one who attacked her.
My footprints were in the woods, but there was no snow on the road. My feet aren't size 43.
The police on the other side questioned Tong Yuyao and got the same result as on the other side. Tong Yuyao also asked Fan Yaqing what had happened.
The local police did mention that Fan Yaqing was knocked unconscious and had her hair cut. This can't be kept secret; they'll find out soon enough.
Tong Yuyao's eyes widened in shock: "My God, how could this happen! Isn't it only cheaters who get their hair cut in a shaved head by someone else's wife?"
"Do you know who she associates with most of the people?" The police officer thought this was a clue and hurriedly asked Yuyao.
"I don't know. At school, she's close to Huang Lijuan, Du Yuanyuan, and Zhang Xiaomin; they're always hanging out together. You should ask them!"
Tong Yuyao had no idea that her sister had done such a big thing in the few minutes she ran out at noon! Although her sister didn't say anything, she knew that it was her eldest sister who did it.
Wow! Big sister is the best! Well done!
Fan Yaqing, who had fallen ill from the cold, was convinced that she had been beaten by Tong Yuheng because her jade pendant was missing! She had secretly taken the pendant from Tong Yuheng's desk drawer, but the footprints and marks at the scene indicated that a man about 1.8 meters tall had committed the crime.
Tong Yuheng has a complete alibi; numerous people testify that she and her sister were together the entire time and went straight home from school. Her classmates also stated that the morning's conflict was instigated by Fan Yaqing.
She spread rumors about her sisters, no wonder Tong Yuheng hit her. Fan Yaqing didn't dare say that the jade pendant she stole from the Tong family had been stolen; she was extremely panicked, feeling she had lost something very important to her!
Tong Yuheng returned home early and went to the kitchen to cook dinner. The other sisters went to their rooms to do their homework, while Yuyao went to the twins' room to give them a crash course in junior high school basics. Soon after, Tong Jiahui also came home from get off work and went into the kitchen to cook with her eldest daughter.
The Tong family's house, including the small courtyard, was only about 50 square meters. Because they had many children, the couple divided the two main rooms into four smaller rooms. A 1.2-meter-wide passageway was left in the middle, and the doors of the four smaller rooms faced each other.
The innermost room on the right is Mom and Dad's room, and opposite it are the bedrooms of the sixth child, Yuxuan, and the seventh child, Yuqi. Before, because the two children were small, Mom and Dad would come over at night to look after them more, so the room was placed closest to them.
The room is only about five or six square meters. There are two small beds in it, and a rather narrow long table is placed between the beds. The two younger sisters do their homework during the day and put their clothes away at night. There are wall cabinets on the left and right walls, which can hold quite a lot of things.
The room next door was for the twins, with narrow bunk beds, a standing wardrobe, and two desks placed by the window, directly opposite the beds. This room was only slightly larger than the one behind, about eight or nine square meters.
