The captain stepped forward and snatched the two yuan from Zhou Jianwei's hand. He unfolded it in front of everyone, and the obvious pen mark in the lower right corner said it all.

"hey-hey!"

Bai Nuo was almost startled by the sudden laugh from the little system!

Fang Meng, who had been staying by Bai Nuo's side and following her wherever she went, suddenly turned to look at his little brat, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

There seemed to be some strange fluctuation coming from his little brat!

However, it seems to have disappeared again, like an illusion!

Fang Meng blinked in confusion, not quite understanding. But seeing that his little brat seemed normal, he decided to forget about it.

It's good that this girl is alright!

However, when did this girl develop the habit of marking money?

With those two pieces of irrefutable evidence of money over there, Zhou Jianwei really couldn't explain himself even if he had eight hundred mouths on his body. In the end, he was taken away by Secretary Lu and his eldest son.

Fang Meng watched Zhou Jianwei's retreating figure expressionlessly, and finally chuckled softly.

Did he think that was the end of it, using such despicable means to try and take advantage of his sister?

Just wait!

If this idiot isn't thoroughly humiliated, he'll personally change his name to Fang Gou Dan!

After the crowd dispersed, Li Cuie held her little darling and comforted her for a while, afraid that the little girl would be frightened. The brigade leader next to her looked quite uncomfortable.

"Take your sister home right now and give me back my wife!" The captain glared at Fang Meng beside him, annoyed.

Fang Meng curled his lip and looked at the captain with disdain: "Uncle, that's not right of you. If you're so capable, go and say it yourself."

"Hey...you brat, are you asking for a beating?" The captain glared at Fang Meng, gritting his teeth and muttering, "You two little devils, all you do is cause trouble for me all day long. Wouldn't it have been better to just give Zhou Jianwei a beating? Why do you have to dawdle and wait for a whole bunch of people to come over before you can get anything done? I'm constantly cleaning up your messes!"

Fang Meng looked at the brigade leader with an innocent expression and chuckled twice: "Well, this can't be blamed on us. We were planning to take them to the mountains behind and beat them up, but who knew you guys would come so fast? We didn't have time!"

"Heh!" The captain rolled his eyes mercilessly. "I don't believe you two little scoundrels. I'm a hillbilly!"

"Tsk, Uncle, you..." Fang Meng looked at the captain with a complicated expression, and sighed, "Why are you cursing yourself!"

"...Get lost, take your sister home right now and give me back my wife!"

Fang Meng still had some conscience. In the end, after being persuaded by the brigade leader, he returned Aunt Cui'e, who was holding his little girl and calling her "good girl," to her.

"Second brother, how did you know that Zhou Jianwei has been going out to play cards with Xu Baoqiang recently and owes more than a hundred yuan?"

She only found out about this when her second brother pulled her behind him and whispered it to her as soon as he heard footsteps.

Because of the time constraint, Fang Meng only whispered a few words in her ear.

Xu Baoqiang owed more than 100 yuan while playing cards.

It has to be said that, given their tacit understanding since childhood, Bai Nuo instantly understood what was meant, and then a series of plans came out of his mouth without any need for discussion.

As for Zhou Jianwei sending gifts to Bai Nuo, even if others found out about his plan to use rumors and public opinion to force Bai Nuo to date him, it wouldn't be a big deal for Zhou Jianwei. In fact, many people would even try to persuade Bai Nuo to date Zhou Jianwei out of respect for Secretary Lu.

After all, in the minds of some people with outdated ideas, Zhou Jianwei was considered to be quite well-off in Qishui Brigade. He was the secretary's nephew, good-looking, and the brigade's scorekeeper. He was also willing to give so many delicious things when pursuing a young girl. If he didn't like her, they would probably criticize Bai Nuo for having too good taste and looking down on them, the country folk.

In the end, even Bai Nuo's reputation will be ruined.

After all, no matter what, Bai Nuo was still an educated youth from outside the village, and in the hearts of most people in Qishui Brigade, he was definitely not as good as Zhou Jianwei, a local young man.

But if we put it another way, like what Bai Nuo said, that Zhou Jianqiang forced himself to lend him money to pay off his gambling debts, then the situation would be different.

Even Secretary Lu, for the sake of his family's reputation and the name of Qishui Brigade, would not let this matter pass easily.

After all, Bai Nuo was not an ordinary, unconnected, and easily bullied educated youth, especially since she had Fang Meng, who was highly capable and had extensive connections, by her side.

Although Zhou Jianwei won't be punished for this, at least it will make it impossible for him to continue as the scorekeeper. Even if the Zhou family comes out in the end and says that Zhou Jianwei didn't borrow money, but was just pursuing a young educated woman from the city and was rejected and slandered, it won't matter.

Because preconceived notions are still very strong in most people's minds, more people will think that this is just a fig leaf pulled out by the Zhou family, and they will even despise them for being shameless for using the reputation of a female comrade to cover up for Zhou Jianwei.

However, Bai Nuo and Fang Meng both felt that, given Secretary Lu's pride, he would absolutely not allow the Zhou family to do such a thing.

Therefore, the Zhou family has no choice but to accept this bitter pill, whether they like it or not.

Fang Meng raised his hand and habitually covered the little girl's head. As he walked home, he explained in a low voice, "Your cousin has been busy working with the county's public security bureau to crack down on gambling dens in several nearby brigades. The night before last, I went to the county to help interrogate a small leader and got a lot of names out of him. Xu Baoqiang and Zhou Jianwei were among them."
