Early in the morning on Sunday, the employees of the Military-Civilian Cooperation gathered outside the store.
When everyone arrived, everyone said goodbye to Liu Ying who was guarding the store, and then rode or sat on their bicycles to leave.
After everyone left, Liu Ying returned to the store and sat alone at the window selling braised pork. She looked at the braised pork in front of her and started laughing.
She was the only one left in the store, which was great.
After a while, customers came and saw that their store only sold braised pork, which was a bit regretful.
However, the braised pork served by the Military and Civilian Association tastes very good, and many people still buy it.
When the guests had almost finished buying and there was still more than half a catty of braised pork, Liu Ying put the remaining meat away.
When another customer comes, she smiles and says, "Sorry, we have sold out the braised pork."
After putting up the out-of-business sign, Liu Ying hummed a ditty and wandered around the back kitchen.
First, she wrapped the braised pork in paper and stuffed it into her bag. Then she began to look for ingredients that she could take away without being able to see clearly.
After working for about ten minutes, her bag was completely bulging.
There was nothing she could do, there were usually so many people in the store, so she would only dare to take a little of whatever she wanted, and she wouldn't dare stuff too much into her bag.
But today, except for her, there was no one in the store, so she took some more boldly.
Although I didn’t carry much of anything, I could carry so many types that my bag was almost full.
After putting all these away, she thought about it and returned to the place where the braised pork was sold.
Before, she only dared to take some ingredients home, but she didn't dare to touch money or anything like that. But now there is no one in the store, so no one should be able to find out if she takes some.
At first she only took one dollar, then quickly took another dollar, and finally took away five dollars in total.
This is both stuff and money, and she is in a great mood now.
It's great to work in the Military-Civilian Cooperative. I earn a lot every month, and I can also use things to support my family. I really hope that I can have more work like this in the future where I can keep a store alone.
Whatever you can do when you go out for fun, it’s most economical to get more stuff and money.
Feeling very happy, she restored everything in the kitchen and put her bag away before closing the store and leaving.
"The birds on the trees come in pairs."
As soon as she locked the door, Liu Ying turned around and saw three people standing in front of her, which startled her.
"Zhao, Mr. Zhao, Sister Wu Mei, why are you standing here?" Liu Ying asked quickly.
Wu Mei sneered as she looked at Liu Ying's bulging bag, which was so heavy at first sight.
"If we weren't here, how could we see this wonderful show?"
"Sister Wu Mei, what do you mean?" Liu Ying sneered.
Zhao Qinglan was too lazy to waste time and said directly: "I will give you another chance now. If you confess on your own, I will not go to the police comrades."
Liu Ying's heart skipped a beat, how could they know?
Impossible. I have always been very careful. They must have deceived her and they must not admit it. If they admit it, it will be over for her.
Her thoughts lasted only a moment, and she immediately became determined. "Mr. Zhao, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Does this mean she won’t shed tears even after seeing the coffin? Zhao Qinglan also sneered.
"Do you dare to open the bag in your hand and show us?" Wu Mei said, glaring at Liu Ying.
Liu Ying immediately hugged her bag tightly. "Why do you look at my bag? This is my own thing."
Wu Mei is unwilling to give in. Is it possible for Cheng to let people go like this?
Thinking of her, she wanted to step forward and grab the bag, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was stopped by Zhao Qinglan.
"Qinglan, why are you stopping me?" Wu Mei was puzzled.
"Where is this bag? It doesn't matter whether we look at it or not. We just need to take the police comrades to our back kitchen to check it. Sister-in-law, you don't know yet. Everyone's fingerprints and footprints are different.
.”
As she spoke, she glanced at the gay man beside her who had been silent for the whole time. "Comrade Public Security, am I right?"
"That's right." The man replied affirmatively.
Zhao Qinglan deliberately glanced at Liu Ying, then looked at Wu Mei and continued.
"So, whatever someone did here, the evidence has been left behind. As long as the police comrades go to the back kitchen to investigate, they can find out who it is."
Wu Mei suddenly realized, "Then what are you waiting for? Comrade Public Security, please go to our back kitchen and have a look."
The gay man glanced at Zhao Qinglan.
"Comrade Public Security, I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhao Qinglan smiled.
In fact, she really deceived Liu Ying. People come and go in the kitchen all day long. Fingerprints and footprints are not that easy to identify. Not to mention that Liu Ying works here. Even if she doesn't steal anything, her fingerprints and footprints are there.
It's all normal, but Liu Ying doesn't know about it.
When she saw someone raising her feet, Wu Mei also ran to open the door, and Liu Ying was completely panicked.
She suddenly thought of what Zhao Qinglan said before, "Mr. Zhao, do what you said before count?" Liu Ying gritted her teeth and asked.
Zhao Qinglan naturally understood what Liu Ying was talking about. "Of course it counts, but it won't count soon."
Seeing that Wu Mei had opened the door over there, and the police comrade was about to go in, the bag in Liu Ying's hand fell to the ground.
"Mr. Zhao, I said, I was wrong. I took some things from the store. I confess, I confess everything."
Otherwise, if she was really found out by the police, wouldn't it be the end for her? She would lose her job and be arrested again.
Wu Mei and the police comrade both stopped and looked over.
Seeing that they didn't go in, Liu Ying was relieved. It would be fine if they didn't go in.
"How long did it take and how much did you take in total?" Zhao Qinglan said calmly.
"That's all I took today." After speaking, Liu Ying opened her bag and showed it to them.
Good guy, there are so many things. Wu Mei was so angry that her teeth were itching. This is really a moth.
"Are you sure you only took it today?" Zhao Qinglan raised an eyebrow.
Liu Ying was flustered when she saw her, but she thought that the ones she had taken before had not been caught and had been eaten long ago, so she affirmed: "I just took them today. I don't think anyone was in the store for a while."
I took something out of my mind, Mr. Zhao, I was wrong."
Wu Mei still wanted to reason, but Zhao Qinglan said with waning interest: "Sister-in-law, forget it."
In fact, her original purpose was to catch Liu Ying in action.
After hearing Zhao Qinglan say forget it, Liu Ying became happy. "Mr. Zhao, thank you."
"No, don't thank me. I am now officially informing you that starting tomorrow, you will no longer come to work in the store."
Liu Ying's expression froze. "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? It's just to inform you that you have been fired."
"No, Mr. Zhao, you can't fire me. Didn't you already promise?"
"What did I promise? Liu Ying, it would be the greatest kindness if I didn't send you to the police station. Don't be ungrateful."
"But I only took this little thing, and you're going to shoot me?" Liu Ying was anxious.
"You know exactly how many things you have taken. I'm just too lazy to argue with you. I will never keep a giant rat in my store." She said coldly.
In fact, even if it is proven how many things Liu Ying has taken, Liu Ying will not be punished too severely in the end, and people in the family area will feel that Liu Ying is pitiful and cruel.
And her original intention was not to lock Liu Ying in.
She originally had a good job that everyone in the family area envied, but now it is gone. This is the cruelest punishment for Liu Ying.
"No, you can't fire me. I am a member of the military. You have agreed with the leaders of the military region. How can you fire me? I want to find a response from the leaders." Liu Ying threatened.
Because she was really panicked. It was visible to the naked eye how much her family had gotten better since she got this job. But if she really lost her job, she couldn't imagine the consequences, so she had to keep her job no matter what.
.
"Look for whomever you like. Anyway, we don't want you in the store. Leave quickly and don't let me see you." Zhao Qinglan said in disgust.
What else did Liu Ying want to say? Zhao Qinglan pointed at the gay man and started talking. "The police comrades are still here. If you keep messing around, I will ask the police comrades to take you away. It just so happens that you also admitted the fact that you committed the theft."
"
What, catch yourself, Liu Ying didn’t even ask for a bag and ran away.
"Qinglan, what if she really wants to make trouble with the leader?" Wu Mei asked worriedly.
"I'm waiting for her to make trouble." Zhao Qinglan crossed her arms and sneered.
