Chapter 46 Why Jiang Bo is a spy

In the courtyard.

People who went to work went out one after another, and the women at home were cleaning up the house, and the yard suddenly became quiet.

Jia Zhang moved a bench to the door to bask in the sun.

She rolled her eyes and shouted to the people in the house:

"Huai Ru, go to Erlui Hutong and give that enamel basin to Yuan Chao's mother."

Qin Huairu wiped the water off her hands on her apron and said:

"Mom, I haven't finished washing the dishes yet. I'll go after I'm done."

Jia Zhang raised her head and said:

"You should go right now. Yuan Chao's mother said yesterday that she would need it today."

"Send it to the person first, and do other work when you come back."

"Row."

Qin Huairu remembered what Jia Dongxu had told her in the morning and felt a little confused.

But if I try to refuse, given Jia Zhang's difficult attitude, who knows what she'll say.

So he could only pick up his things and said to Jia Zhang:

"Then you stay at home and look after Xiao Dang. Don't go anywhere else."

"Okay, go ahead."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to quicken her pace, thinking she would go there and come back quickly.

Jia Zhang was sitting on a bench. She looked over at Qin Huairu as she walked out of the courtyard and immediately jumped up from the bench.

She looked around the yard and saw that there was no one there, so she tiptoed to Jiang Bo's door.

I touched the lock on the door and fiddled with it for a while, making sure that the door was locked and there was no way it could be opened.

He felt his way under the window again.

The window is open!

She found a thick wicker basket in the yard and moved it over.

Stepping on the wicker basket and clinging to the window frame, he climbed up to the windowsill slowly and tremblingly.

Even though she usually takes advantage of her seniority and does nothing, she always takes money from her mother-in-law and orders Qin Huairu to do this and that.

In fact, she also knew that her hands and feet were still quite flexible.

Jia Dongxu was watching her closely early in the morning, so she never had a chance.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu went to work, and Qin Huairu was also sent away by her.

Now is a good time to take action while there is no one in the yard.

Jia Zhang sat on the window sash below and carefully crossed over one leg at a time.

Only after both feet were firmly on the windowsill did he hold onto the window edge, step on the stool under the window, and slowly move down.

She strolled around Jiang Bo's room and looked around.

The Jiang family’s furniture is very simple, with only the cupboards able to hold a few things.

Jia Zhang first felt under Jiang Bo's pillow and mattress.

In that era, some families were accustomed to keeping money, food coupons and other things under their bedding.

But Jiang Bo didn't have this habit, he just carried them with him.

Jia Zhang searched for a while but found nothing, so she opened the cupboard again.

I found several pounds of corn flour, some sweet potatoes, potatoes and so on.

"If these potatoes are left for too long, they will sprout."

"Fortunately, I have brains, otherwise all these things would have been wasted."

……

As soon as Jiang Bo entered the yard, he ran into Xu Damao head-on.

"Hey, Jiang Bo, why do I feel like I haven't seen you for two days!"

"I went out to help someone and just came back."

Jiang Bo thought it would be better to keep a low profile when it came to capturing enemy spies in Xishan.

It would be very troublesome if some fish slipped through the net and were retaliated by hidden spies.

"Hey, we haven't seen each other for a while. Why don't you come to my place for a drink at noon..."

Jiang Bo and Xu Damao walked in while talking.

Suddenly, Jiang Bo patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and gestured to him to keep quiet.

He saw that the window of his house was opened and a wicker basket was placed under the window.

Jiang Bo and Xu Damao looked at each other.

"Oh no! There's a thief!"

The two men tiptoed to the door, leaned over it and listened. There seemed to be some sound in the room.

Jiang Bo glanced through the window and saw a man rummaging around in his own cupboard with his butt sticking up.

He exchanged glances with Xu Damao, then walked to the door, took out the key from his pocket, and gently unlocked the door without making any sound.

Then, he grabbed the swastika-patterned short knife in his hand, kicked the door open, and shouted:

"Who is there!"

Jia Zhang was squatting on the ground, rummaging around in the cupboard.

When I suddenly heard him shout like that, I was so scared that I let out a cry and jumped up.

She quickly took two steps back and bumped into Jiang Bo's wooden table.

"Bang~"

"Wow~"

The table in Jiang Bo's house was originally broken and was propped up with bricks.

She hit the table with such force that it tilted and fell down with a loud crash.

The pots and pans on the table also fell to the ground with a clang.

Jia Zhang knocked over the table and lost her balance, falling on it.

Jiang Bo did not expect that the thief was actually the old lady Jia Zhang, and immediately asked:

"What are you doing in my room?!"

Jia Zhang's fall was indeed quite severe. When she fell, the table hit her waist, which was very painful.

He also scratched his hand with broken pieces of bowl, and blood started flowing out.

When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw that the person coming was Jiang Bo.

Jia Zhang's eyes widened:

"Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"

"Catch the spies! Catch the spies!"

When she shouted like that, people in the yard heard the noise and gathered around.

Jia Zhang shouted to the people in the yard:

"Catch him quickly, he's a spy, send him to the police station!"

The people in the yard were all puzzled when they saw this scene.

Jiang Bo, is he a spy?

what happened?

Jiang Bo's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said to Jia Zhang:

"Spraying shit with your mouth full!"

"Who do you say is a spy?"

Jia Zhang refused to give in, "I'm talking about you! Why haven't you been arrested yet?"

"What are you all doing here?!"

At this time, a very majestic voice came from the outside of the crowd.

People automatically made way for him.

Yi Zhonghai walked in from the outside of the crowd with his hands behind his back.

Normally at this time, he should go to work in the factory.

But yesterday after dinner I went to Jia's house, and I went out with sweat on my body. When it got cold, I caught a cold.

He didn't go to the factory today, and ended up happening upon seeing this incident in the yard.

As soon as he saw Jia Zhang in Jiang Bo's house and some sweet potatoes scattered on the ground, he guessed a lot of what had happened.

He had some understanding of Jia Zhang.

Most likely, this old lady is not only concerned about the Jiang family’s house, but also about the things in their house.

It’s a good thing he didn’t go to work, otherwise who knows what would have happened.

"Old Yi, you're here!"

"How dare Jiang Bo come back? Hurry up and arrest him and send him to the police station."

"Nonsense!"

Yi Zhonghai shouted to stop Jia Zhang.

"Dongxu's mother, why did you say Jiang Bo was a spy?"

"It was Erlui Hutong. Yuan Chao's mother told me!" Jia Zhang said confidently.

"What?" Yi Zhonghai was confused. "Can you explain it more clearly?"
