613 Fake Account Book
Qiao Mei was able to help him with this matter, but she did not want to do it. If she was the one to resolve the matter for Xia Zhe and Xu Lan, it would only affect the relationship between mother and son.
There was already a rift between them. If they did not take this opportunity to reconcile, it would be difficult to find another suitable opportunity in the future.
“Talk to her nicely, do you understand? Don’t just hang up after a few words. Also…” Qiao Mei told him a lot of things.
Xia Zhe silently noted down everything in his mind and asked earnestly, “I get it. Let’s not talk about me anymore. How has grandfather been recently? How are Zhang Wei and Zhang Miao? Is Zhang Chao feeling better?”
“Everyone’s in good health. Zhang Miao has woken up recently, but her movements are a little slow and she still needs to rest. Recently, I realized that Zhang Chao likes to invent and create things. If you happen to have any weird materials, remember to bring them back for him. I think he’s very talented and we can nurture him well,” Qiao Mei said happily.
“Alright, I’ve noted it down. I’ll definitely bring some stuff with me when I go back in the future,” Xia Zhe said.
It was getting late and he still had to go back and deal with all his work. After saying a brief goodbye to Qiao Mei, he hung up.
Xia Zhe did not leave immediately. He stood at the phone booth and thought for a long time before deciding to call Xu Lan tomorrow. He still could not face Xu Lan yet.
Qiao Mei went to Wang Qin’s table to settle the phone bill and said to her with a smile, “Oh my, should I be terminally ill now?”
“Qiao Mei, don’t be so smug! If you hadn’t joined forces to trick me, I wouldn’t have fallen for it!” Wang Qin roared.
“You’re making things up out of nothing. How can Xia Zhe have the chance to join forces with me? Even if he can, when did Uncle Zhao come to look for me? Aren’t you contradicting yourself by saying these things? Is it so difficult to admit that you’re stupid?” Qiao Mei said mockingly.
“You! You b*tch! It’s not my fault! You’re the ones who schemed against me! Don’t pretend to be merciful here! Get lost after you’re done!” Wang Qin stood up and pointed at the door as she roared.
Qiao Mei wiped the saliva that Wang Qin sprayed on her face in disdain and said calmly, “What’s the hurry? This office belongs to the village and I’m also from this village. I can come and go whenever I want. What right do you have to criticize me? Don’t tell me you have some unspeakable secret?”
Wang Qin instinctively pressed down on the account book on the table under her hand. Qiao Mei noticed this action. She just wanted to test if Wang Qin had really done something wrong, but she did not expect her guess to be right.
“You… you’re talking nonsense! I don’t!” Wang Qin said stubbornly.
Zhao Liang hurriedly walked over and said, “Mei Mei, your grandfather is still waiting for you at home. Let’s go.”
Qiao Mei also did not want to waste any more time with Wang Qin and followed Zhao Liang back.
“Uncle Zhao, do you think you should check the village accounts?” Qiao Mei whispered.
Zhao Liang did not respond. He had actually noticed something fishy a long time ago, but he could not find anyone more suitable to be the accountant of the brigade than Wang Qin. Moreover, she was elected by the villagers, so it would not be good to dismiss her.
“Let’s talk about it when we get back. There are many people on the road. Sit tight!” Zhao Liang stepped on the accelerator and sped up. It did not take long for them to reach Qiao Mei’s house.
Qiao Mei went into the house and brought out a stool for Zhao Liang to sit down in the courtyard. She then sat opposite Zhao Liang.
In her memories, there were no problems that Zhao Liang could not solve. He could handle all the big and small matters in the village effortlessly, but Wang Qin’s matters seemed to have made him extremely worried.
It would appear that this matter was really very tricky.
“Uncle Zhao, tell me about it. Since you’ve already discovered it, why don’t you put a stop to it?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“Sigh, I have no choice. I discovered it a long time ago. The current account book seems to be fake. The real account book is not in the office,” Zhao Liang said helplessly.
“Fake? Then how do you know that this account book is fake?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“The accounts get checked every quarter. After so many years, I already know the rough figures. However, although the harvest this year is not good due to the natural disaster, the village’s accounts remain the same as last year. I started to become suspicious after that, but I don’t have any evidence to prove that she is the problem,” Zhao Liang said.
