Married to a Disabled Man in the 70s

chapter 36

Here's the chappie! Sorry for the late post.

"That scared me to death!"

"That roar almost made me choke. Thank god I was eating green bean soup, or else..."

As the girls saw the two red-badged men leave, they patted their chests fearfully and complained to each other.

Zhao Sisi was also frightened by the sudden inspection, but she was calmer than the rest. She sighed lightly and said, "Jiaojiao, it's a good thing you're smarter than me."

Back then, she had wanted to set a fixed price to attract more customers, but Jiaojiao rejected that idea because of safety issues. She only requested customers who come here to pay a reasonable sum.

(T/N: Safety issues as in what happened a chappie ago. That kind.)

Today was exhausting, so a few people couldn't resist the urge to come over here. They were almost caught just like that?!

Thankfully, they had kept this entire operation under tight wraps. No one disclosed anything under pressure, so they weren't exposed.

There was just one thing...

The people present looked at each other. Who let the cat out of the bag?

All of them shook their heads, as they couldn't think of anyone who would do that. Aside from Su Jiaojiao, that is, who already had a suspect in mind. That person had just bumped into her intentionally this afternoon, and something happened tonight.

After thinking for some time, Su Jiaojiao realized that the educated youths worked together, so they hanged out often. Couldn't Xi Yao have overheard them when they were ordering food?

Su Jiaojiao had basically confirmed the perpetrator was Xi Yao in her heart by now. Her original conjecture was that the Song family had done it, but it didn't feel right. Mother Song and Song Qingshan lived far away from them, and they hadn't been around these parts after the incident where their families split. Thus, there was a low probability of them overhearing their conversation and alerting the soldiers.

However, Su Jiaojiao didn't voice her thoughts and kept them buried in the back of her mind for now.

After the educated female youths had finished their food, all of them ran away quickly.

Wang Jianye, who had escorted the two red-badged men away, came back and asked, "Are the two of you actually involved in any under-the-table transactions?"

Wang Jianye asked them this because he was suspicious of their actions, especially after seeing the suddenly empty house and the couple packing up their things.

Su Jiaojiao smiled and gave him a cup of green bean soup, "Sorry for bothering you with this, commander, but we really are innocent. All we did was let them try some snacks I made. It isn't anything expensive, and sometimes we get a few dollars on the side."

Wang Jianye drank the refreshingly cold green bean soup and sighed with satisfaction. As he thought she had a point, he didn't investigate further and only said, "I'll let it slide this time, but you really ought to be careful the next time you do anything. It's easy for information to be leaked when there are so many people."

"Yes, you're right."

Due to what happened recently, the educated female youths didn't dare to come here in the short term, including Zhao Sisi.

She initially would have come here as usual. After all, Su Jiaojiao was very prudent with this entire operation.
