Reborn in a small mountain village in 1991

Chapter 81: Let him learn a lesson!

Li Minfu had actually anticipated that Xu Chunsheng would come to see him today.

When he saw Xu Chunsheng standing in his master's courtyard, specifically asking to see him about something, his anxiety, which had lasted for several days, finally subsided.

Looking at Xu Chunsheng standing in front of him, Li Minfu felt embarrassed, his face flushed, and he nervously rubbed his hands together.

"To be honest with you, I was actually planning to keep this to myself."

"A few days ago, my master got a big job and invited us apprentices together for a meal. He even poured all the wine your family gave us to taste."

At this point, Li Minfu paused again, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face:

"I tried a couple more sips. Your wine is really spicy. The aftereffects kicked in, and I couldn't control myself. After everyone left, I vaguely told the master what happened."

Xu Chunsheng nodded: "I'll pack you a bottle next time, so you can take it home and try it."

Li Minfu sighed and simply said:

"I've been holding this in for a long time about Qian Jun asking me to throw away his dead things. I didn't dare to say anything before because I was afraid he would target me."

"After the incident at your pig farm, I dared not say anything more, for fear that you would think I was behind it."

Xu Chunsheng's expression remained unchanged:

"I will find out who did it. I still want to thank you for not agreeing with Qian Junwei and for being willing to tell us about this."

"Do you know who else Qian Junwei has called upon?"

Li Minfu's expression tensed up again. He glanced around, then leaned close to Xu Chunsheng's ear and whispered:

"I don't know who Qian Junwei contacted, but you can check on You San'er."

"A couple of days ago I saw You San'er buy a big piece of meat and bring it home. His family is in a similar situation to mine, we are both very poor, so he definitely can't afford such a big piece of meat."

"Besides, he idles around all day and his hands aren't very clean. You can check with him."

After saying all this, Li Minfu asked Xu Chunsheng for another guarantee:

"Brother Chunsheng, you have to keep this a secret for me, I'm afraid Qian Junwei will mess with my family."

Although Xu Chunsheng used to call Li Minfu "Brother Minfu", the two are only a few months apart in age. Li Minfu is actually just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, so it is normal for him to have such concerns.

Xu Chunsheng nodded and made a promise to him:

"Okay, I definitely won't tell anyone. I'll treat you to a meal after I find out if it was You San'er who did it."

After they finished discussing this matter, the atmosphere relaxed, and after exchanging a few more casual words, Xu Chunsheng said:

"Mr. Minfu, you go ahead with your work, I won't keep you any longer."

After Xu Chunsheng left, he didn't confront You San'er directly, but instead went to inquire about what Liu San had been doing lately.

Several days have passed since the dead rats were thrown into the pig farm. Now that Xu Chunsheng has a clue, he naturally wants to confirm whether he was the one who did it before he can confront the person.

He knew in his heart that based on the few things Li Minfu mentioned, it was difficult to determine whether he had really lost the dead rat. He still needed to find out more about his recent life.

Many people came to the pig farm to sell pig feed, and Xu Chunsheng saw You San'er there. However, he thought You San'er was just there to watch the excitement and didn't pay much attention to him.

Xu Chunsheng walked slowly along the country road. When he met someone, he casually struck up a conversation and subtly inquired about You San's recent situation.

Everyone's account was pretty much the same: You San'er hadn't been wandering around the village all day lately.

"That's strange, isn't it? I haven't seen You San'er hanging around my land lately."

"Yes, yes, I haven't seen him either. He's always stealing chickens and dogs. If I see him, I'm afraid something might be missing from my house."

You San'er didn't have a good reputation in the village; he was often seen stealing cucumbers from one neighbor's field or eggs from another's yard.

This person doesn't steal big things; he only does disgusting and annoying little things.

Everyone in the village knew that if they were missing something, nine times out of ten it was You San'er who did it.

But she was incredibly cunning. She never tried to do too much at once, always choosing times when no one was around. So no one caught her in the act, and the matter was left unresolved. There was nothing anyone could do about it.

Someone else said that a few days ago they saw You San buying fine grains in town, looking very proud, and even showing off to people, saying that he wanted to taste how delicious the fine grains were and whether they were worth the high price.

Some people have also mentioned that during this period, You San'er inexplicably became less financially secure, and the person who used to freeload meals even started smoking.

Some women also mentioned that they had seen Qian Junwei leaving You San'er's house before. You San'er used to always follow Qian Junwei around, but Qian Junwei looked down on him and had him beaten up a few times before he stopped following him.

So this auntie still had a pretty good impression of Qian Junwei coming out of You San'er's house.

Xu Chunsheng summarized the fragmented clues and got a general idea of ​​what was going on:

You San'er was used to petty theft and was bribed by Qian Junwei to do things like dumping dead things in the pig farm.

After doing this, he behaved himself for a while, but when he suddenly had a lot of money, he naturally wanted to show it off in the village.

After sorting things out, Xu Chunsheng walked towards the brigade office to ask someone to be a witness.

Xu Chunsheng went directly to the village chief and explained the reason:

"Grandpa, I have some progress on the matter of the pigs being thrown to their deaths and the rats."

"It's highly likely that You San'er was the one who did it. I just want you to be my witness this time."

The village chief was somewhat surprised:

"Him? Does he even have the guts? He's only ever interested in petty theft."

Xu Chunsheng kept everyone in suspense:

"Maybe someone ordered him to do it? He certainly wouldn't dare, but money makes the world go round, don't you think?"

The village chief frowned even more deeply. He understood what Xu Chunsheng meant; this matter was not simple.

He had been the village chief for so many years, and You San'er had been sued by him many times for petty theft. However, there was no evidence and no one had been caught in the act, which had given him a headache for a long time.

If this really involves You San'er, we'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!

The village chief, looking grave, immediately stood up and paced around the house.

"Now that you mention it, it seems like it's been quite a while since anyone came to me to accuse You San'er of stealing."

"If it really is him, what do you plan to do?"

After telling the village chief his plans, Xu Chunsheng left the village chief's house first.

It was almost noon, and the sun was getting stronger. There were no people to be seen in the fields or along the roads; everyone was staying home in the shade.

Xu Chunsheng picked a taro leaf from the roadside, put it on his head, fanned himself with his straw hat, and walked towards You San'er's house.
