Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 995 - 996: The Lonely Village Girl 40

Not long after Liu Jianshe left, Liu Yuanchao’s punishment was decided.

Due to the considerable amount involved, Liu Yuanchao was directly fired by the furniture factory and sentenced to twenty years in prison.

People around couldn’t understand how just taking a few stools home would lead to such a severe punishment.

Li Cui was naturally curious too, not understanding what had happened.

After Zhang Yu learned that Liu Yuanchao was sentenced to so many years, she was indeed very curious and did some inquiries.

Zhang Yu said in a low voice, "Liu Yuanchao didn’t just take things home, he also sold them to others."

What could Zhang Yu say? "Liu Yuanchao is really out of luck, after the factory received a report, they called him in for a talk."

"They found out he secretly moved some simple furniture to the corner, and once the leaders found out, they planned to catch him red-handed."

"Then they discovered that Liu Yuanchao was selling the items to others." Zhang Yu could never have imagined Liu Yuanchao would be so bold.

What? Li Cui thought Liu Yuanchao’s ten-year sentence surely had reasons, but never expected this particular cause.

Li Cui took a deep breath, "It’s truly deserved."

Zhang Yu agreed, "Yes, it’s deserved."

Li Cui was curious, "What about the money he earned?"

"I remember when Liu Dashan and his family went in, that guy didn’t take money out, right?" Li Cui was quite sure.

"Liu Dashan and his people loved that kid so much, if he took out money, even just a dime, they would talk about how great this grandson was."

"He stored it in the bank, and kept the bankbook in the locker room."

"Sometimes he would go to the state-run restaurant to improve his meals." Zhang Yu could imagine how furious the Liu family would be when they found out.

Ah, ah, ah, he even went to the state-run restaurant for better meals? Li Cui’s mouth opened wide in shock, "Really couldn’t tell."

"I even remember whenever the furniture factory had a dish with some meat, Liu Yuanchao would pack it in a lunchbox and bring it home."

"The Liu Dashan couple often bragged outside about how great this grandson was."

"But in reality he..." Oh, Li Cui sighed again.

Zhang Yu didn’t see any issue, "The Liu family is good at pretending."

"Someone like Liu Yuanchao shows one thing, that this kid is truly a Liu family member."

Whether looking at his appearance or his temperament, he’s definitely part of the Liu family.

Liu Yuanchao’s ten-year sentence shocked everyone in the courtyard; people truly couldn’t understand, just taking some small furniture, firing him would be enough, and getting re-educated also would make sense.

But how come he got a ten-year sentence? No matter how they thought about it, people thought this punishment was too heavy.

Everyone was curious, so of course they wanted to inquire further. They weren’t like Zhang Yu who could use insider connections to find out.

They even had thoughts of prying information from Zhang Yu’s mouth, but unfortunately, neither Zhang Yu nor Li Cui revealed anything despite their attempts.

Unable to get the full story from Zhang Yu, they weren’t angry; the police station wouldn’t give much, but the furniture factory surely couldn’t have zero information after such a significant incident.

Soon, they uncovered specifics, like how Liu Yuanchao not only brought furniture home but also sold it.

The money was stored in the bank, the bankbook kept in the locker room, and of course, he indulged himself quite a bit, occasionally upgrading his meals.

After hearing this information, everyone was stunned.

To know the Liu family has ten or so members, everyone always thought Liu Yuanchao was the best and the most reasonable.

Privately, people thought Liu Yuanchao was the good bamboo shoot from a bad bamboo grove in Liu’s family, saying he was like Liu Hong.

But unexpectedly, this kid turned out to be wildly extreme, even more excessive.

Liu Dashan couple and Liu Qiang felt utterly dejected; they had thought, no matter what, at least they had their eldest grandson to rely on.

Unexpectedly, the grandson they thought they could depend on ended up just being a great disappointment.

The Liu Gang family of four knew about Liu Yuanchao’s great misdeeds and couldn’t help but laugh.

But they did not tell neighbors about Liu Yuanchao’s affairs, and as for how Liu Dashan family felt hearing it, sorry, they didn’t bother to care.

Liu Dashan heard Feng Lan washing dishes in the yard, discussing Liu Yuanchao’s affairs with neighbors.

Listening to Feng Lan’s loud voice talking, Liu Dashan felt headache, "Go tell her not to discuss these things."

Wang Pandi nudged Liu Qiang with her foot, "You go tell Feng Lan."

Liu Qiang didn’t move either, "How should I say it, didn’t I already say before?"

"I told her the day before yesterday, but did she show me any respect?" Liu Qiang recalled Feng Lan scolding him that day and couldn’t stop shaking his head.

Liu Qiang turned his head to the busy Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, you go."

Xiao Li pouted, "If I go, Auntie will just scold me."

"She’ll only say we’re guilty, saying that since our eldest brother did this, we shouldn’t avoid it."

Xiao Li really hated Liu Yuanchao now; in her heart, she always believed Liu Yuanchao, the elder brother, was the most reliable.

But reality slapped her in the face; the most embarrassing thing was this seemingly reliable elder brother.

Feng Lan, seeing no movement at the Liu Qiang family’s door, was very happy inside, knowing no one would come out to cause themselves discomfort.

Feng Lan raised her voice, "Thankfully we split from them, otherwise my family would be involved again."

"Still, Zhang Yu is good, Liu Hong did not have much interaction with the Liu family, and after Liu Hong passed away, they fell out completely, ending all interactions with the Liu family."

"I admit scheming against Zhang Yu and her grandparents was wrong." Feng Lan glanced at Zhang Yu and Li Cui sitting at the door, realizing her previous words were somewhat excessive, and gave them a slight smile.

Zhang Yu took a sip of water, "Is this an apology?"

"Honestly, I haven’t heard any apology from you all." Zhang Yu said coolly.

"But it doesn’t matter, as long as their compensation is sufficient." Zhang Yu stood up and went inside to fetch some sunflower seeds.

"Listening to your conversation, eating sunflower seeds is most fitting." Zhang Yu shared some seeds with Li Cui.

Feng Lan saw Zhang Yu’s actions and her eyes darkened, but quickly adjusted her emotions, "By the way, even though you’ve split, you’re still surnamed Liu."

"When Liu Yuanchao sold things, you hadn’t split yet, right?"

"By the way, you often bring leftovers home, are they really leftovers? Every time there are three or four boxes." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Originally, Zhang Yu was just enjoying the gossip, listening to Feng Lan reveal Liu Yuanchao’s true nature, finding it amusing.

But Feng Lan wouldn’t let her enjoy the gossip peacefully, insisting on dragging her into the matter, what could Zhang Yu do?

Feng Lan didn’t expect Zhang Yu to target her, certainly not happy, "Of course they’re leftovers."

Zhang Yu replied, "If you think they’re leftovers, then they’re leftovers."

"But some people disagree, when someone reports, do you think anyone will believe your version?" Zhang Yu countered.

"Liu Yuanchao once said the stools he brought home were bought by the furniture factory."

"You say the machine factory’s canteen, no matter how much leftovers they have, it can’t always be that many every day, right?"

"The canteen isn’t just for you two."
