Zhao Qinglan suddenly returned to live in the family building, and the neighbors were naturally curious.
However, Zhao Qinglan also had his own explanation, saying that he was missing everyone because he hadn't been back for a long time.
After saying this, the military relatives had a much favorable impression of her.
Before Zhao Qinglan didn't come back, and everyone knew that she was the boss of the Military and Civilian Union and was worth a lot of money, some people said that she was now in a superior position and that she was no longer in the same class as them.
Zhao Qinglan suddenly came back to live and behaved in an approachable manner, which also severely slapped those who said such harsh words in the face.
She is not aloof, she just feels that the house here is not small enough for her family to live in, and it is not convenient for a separate courtyard.
This time, Zhao Qinglan spent a lot of time chatting with everyone in the courtyard.
Wherever there are many people, there is her.
Originally she was not familiar with many people in the family building, but now people are talking to her wherever she goes.
"Qinglan, you're out for a walk again."
"Have Qinglan eaten?"
"Qinglan..."
Naturally, there is all kinds of gossip about what military families can do when they get together.
Because he didn't understand many things, Zhao Qinglan mostly listened, and then expressed surprise or emotion from time to time.
Her reaction satisfied the military relatives who spoke.
After getting along well with everyone, she found a suitable conversation and asked more about the suspect's family affairs.
The military family members didn't doubt anything, and when she asked about it, each one told her more actively than the other.
Zhao Qinglan learned about the current situation of the two suspects' families in this way.
Upon hearing this, the suspicion of one of them increased a lot.
"Hey, Qinglan, the treatment in your store is really good. Then Liu Ying used to pick one more person, but now he is generous."
"That's right, their children used to wear the oldest and most patched clothes in our family area. Now that she has made money, the children's clothes have fewer patches."
"Isn't that right? By the way, there is also the food at his house. In the past, his family only saw meat and fish food a few times throughout the year. They ate it every day. But now they eat it every three days, and the smell of food fills the house."
"Yes, yes, I smelled it when I passed by. I often eat meat, but now I am really willing to do so. My family only eats meat once a week." The military wife said this with envy on her face.
Zhao Qinglan still smiled on her face, but she was already laughing in her heart.
However, she still said humbly: "No matter where you are, it's because of your good work that you get what you deserve."
"Qinglan, when are your stores going to hire people again? Do you think I can do it?"
"Qinglan, I can do it too. I have free time every day now."
"Sisters-in-law, don't worry. If my store recruits new people in the future, I will give you priority."
"Qinglan, you are still a good person."
Everyone praised her again.
Zhao Qinglan already knew what was going on, so she excused herself because she had something to do at home. After hearing the compliment, she got up and left.
That night, Zhao Qinglan returned to her courtyard.
After finishing the meal, she called her three children over.
"Mom has something to ask you. After you listen, see who can do it."
The second baby looked eager to give it a try. When his mother actually asked them for help, he was already starting to feel proud.
"There is a man named Liu Ying in our family area. He has five children. Mom wants to know about his family's daily..."
Zhao Qinglan did not directly state that she suspected Liu Ying might have stolen something from the store, after all, what if she was wrongly accused?
But Erba Xiaoduo and the others are not stupid, and they all know more or less. After all, Mom suddenly moved back to live upstairs with her family, which shows that this matter is quite important.
As soon as she finished speaking, the second baby raised his hand. "Mom, I'll go, let me do it."
Xiaoduo thought for a while and suddenly said: "Mom, his children may be in the same class as me, and I can help." She just didn't worry about her brother.
Sanwa didn't express his position, so everyone didn't find it strange. It was strange that he took the initiative to ask for help.
So this matter was first left in the hands of Erwa and Xiaoduo.
"Don't feel pressured. Just ask whatever you can. Just come back and tell mom. It's best not to make people suspicious." Zhao Qinglan was also afraid that the children would be offended.
Both siblings nodded.
After staying in the compound for a whole day, Zhao Qinglan returned to the family building the next day.
As for Erwa and Xiaoduo, they also acted according to their respective situations.
Zhao Qinglan only asked the children to help because it would not be easy for children to ask each other something and arouse suspicion.
If she takes the initiative to contact Liu Ying's family, they will definitely be wary.
Xiaoduo and Erwa are doing well in class and school. Xiaoduo is warm-hearted and kind, and dresses fashionably. She is already very popular in the class.
The second baby is somewhat familiar, generous, and quite popular among boys.
Xiaoduo took the initiative to get to know the girls from the Liu Ying family, and the second baby also started playing with a group of boys, including the children from the Liu Ying family and their friends who usually played well.
Zhao Qinglan asked the children to help, but she just wanted to confirm whether Liu Ying was the most suspicious. If confirmed, she would take the next step.
This continued for a few days, and the children all had results.
"Mom, their food is indeed much better. They eat meat almost every day." Now that the food at home is good, the second baby is no longer hungry for meat.
"Her mother brings back meat and vegetables every day when she comes home. She doesn't know where to buy them." This is Xiaoduo.
After getting confirmation from the children, Zhao Qinglan asked Wu Mei to look at Liu Ying with a strange face. When she got off work, she followed her from a distance to see if Liu Yang had gone somewhere to buy something.
After following her for two days, the answer she got was that Liu Ying didn't go anywhere and went directly back to her family area.
Zhao Qinglan's investigation and suspicion were not hidden from Wu Mei, so Wu Mei also felt that Liu Ying was probably the traitor.
"Qinglan, what should we do now? Fire her directly?"
"How can that be done? If we want to fire her, we have to convince her and make others unable to say anything." She sneered.
It’s quite amazing. I bring ingredients home from the store every day. I save money on all the food and meat at home, and I still eat pretty well.
If every clerk did this, her store wouldn't be able to open.
"Sister-in-law, we are like this..."
The more Wu Mei listened, the brighter her eyes became. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Everyone, come here. I have something to announce."
Wu Mei clapped her hands, and as soon as she opened the door, all the clerks came over before they started busy.
"This Sunday, we will have a day off in the store and let's go outside to play together."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's faces showed surprise and joy.
"That's great."
"Where are you going to play, Sister Wu?"
Everyone was talking about it.
Wu Mei pressed her hands. "But, we have to leave one person in the store, and the braised pork window has to be open and guarded by someone."
Now the shop assistants looked at each other, who would be willing to work alone in the store after all if they could take a break?
Wu Mei was just about to say the next sentence according to Zhao Qinglan's design, when someone stood up.
"I'll do it, I won't go play, you go." Liu Ying said understandingly.
Now the other clerks looked at her with gratitude.
"Liu Ying, you are so kind."
"Thankfully we have you in our store."
Everyone was so grateful and happy that they didn't see that the smile on Wu Mei's face had disappeared.
Qing Lan had actually expected this, and she was in a very complicated mood now.
When Wu Mei told Zhao Qinglan this, she just smiled.
"Then let's wait until Sunday comes."
Is she great? She just understands people's hearts.
