Fang Yuan really did not expect that he would encounter such a thing by chance when he was just out for a walk to relieve his boredom.
Moreover, from the conversation between the two of them just now, one of the parties involved was actually an acquaintance in the quad, the eldest daughter-in-law of the third uncle's family, Yu Li!
This was a bit of a coincidence!
But then again…
She had coincidentally bumped into such a thing, so should she pretend not to know or go out and catch them in the act?
Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but suddenly, a ding sounded in his mind!
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the selection time. Please make your choice!”
"If there is no choice within 60 seconds, the system will automatically make a choice for you (random)!”
Option 1: Impartial and impartial! Reward: 100 yuan in cash and 1 jin of free food!
Option 2: Turn a blind eye and leave quietly. Reward: 100 yuan in cash and 1 jin of free food!
Option 3, expose the two of them and seek benefits! Reward: 1000 cash, 10 pounds of free food, system treasure chest x1!
……
At this moment of hesitation, the system appeared.
As for the three options…After a quick glance, was there a need to consider them? Of course it was option three!
After all, it was to maximize the benefits!
Fang Yuan did not hesitate to make a choice. Then, he strode around the corner and looked to the other side.
With a glance, he saw two women standing not far away. One of them was a middle-aged woman whom he did not know, and the other was obviously Yu Li!
The two of them did not expect a third party to suddenly appear at this time. They were both stunned on the spot.
Especially when the two of them saw Fang Yuan's guard uniform and the red armband on his arm, their expressions changed in unison, turning pale with panic!
Fang Yuan took in their expressions and said without hesitation,"I heard what the two of you said just now. How dare you conspire to steal other people's money? Come with me to the security office!”
The two of them were so frightened that their faces immediately trembled when they heard the word "security"!
The middle-aged woman was the first to react. She quickly waved her hands and explained in a panic,"Comrade, listen to me! This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything! It was all Yu Li, it was all Yu Li! She stole it!"
"You! Nonsense! I didn't steal anything! I just picked up something that someone else dropped! I really didn't steal anything!"
Yu Li instantly came back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head in denial.
Fang Yuan was not in the mood to listen to their nonsense. He immediately pretended to be cold and scolded,"It's not up to you to decide whether the two of you stole anything or not! In short, cut the crap. Come back to the security office with me now!”
"No, comrade. Please be kind and let me off this once. If I really get to the security office, I'll lose my job! I still have a family to take care of. I beg you!”
Seeing Fang Yuan's business-like appearance, the middle-aged woman no longer had the arrogance and tyranny she had when she threatened Yu Li. Instead, she begged with a crying face.
As she begged, she thought of something and quickly searched her pocket. She actually took out a few food stamps and banknotes.
"Comrade, comrade! I beg you, I beg you! My husband is still sick in bed, and the whole family is counting on my salary. I beg you to be merciful, I beg you to have pity on me!”
As the woman spoke, she hurriedly stuffed the food stamps in her hand into Fang Yuan's pocket.
Seeing her actions, Yu Li immediately reacted. She hurriedly took out her money and food stamps and stuffed them into Fang Yuan's hands.
"Fang Yuan, I'm begging you. On the account that we're neighbors in the same courtyard, can you be kind and let me off?! If you let me go this time, I will definitely repay you in the future!”
The two of them begged continuously. Looking at their appearances, they were really pitiful and humble!
Perhaps some people couldn't understand. It was just a small matter. Was there a need to be so afraid?
Even if they did, they would just lose their jobs. It was not a big deal, right?
But Fang Yuan knew very well why the two of them had such a reaction!
To put it bluntly, it was because of the background and environment of this era!
If it was in the future, losing a job would not be a big deal. At most, he would just change his job. He would always be able to earn money anyway. It was just that he had more money than he had.
But this era was different!
In this era, there were not as many industries as in the later era. In addition, it was not allowed to set up stalls to do business or start a business. Otherwise, it was easy to be labeled as speculation!
Under such circumstances, the number of jobs available in society was destined to be very small.
There was even a queue of people behind the street cleaners!
Therefore, once they lost their jobs, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens to find a job!
Under such circumstances, who would dare to lose their job?？？
Also, let's talk about this.
Since the early 1950s, the country had launched many campaigns to go to the mountains and villages.
Then how many people knew why there was a movement to go to the mountains and villages? Or rather, what was the purpose of launching the movement?
Reclaiming the great rivers and mountains of the motherland was one of them!
Training the educated and returning to the countryside for re-education was the second!
Supporting rural construction was the third!
But there was another thing!
That was to alleviate the population pressure in the city at that time, as well as to solve the employment and survival problems of a large number of idle people in the city!
Because there were too few jobs and opportunities in that era, a large number of idle people stayed in the city. Over time, it was easy to breed chaos and even cause social unrest.
At that time, the land of the motherland was barren and was waiting to be reclaimed. The rural development was backward and ignorant, and they urgently needed support.
Hence, the movement to go to the mountains and countryside was born!
So let's get down to business!
Under such circumstances, losing one's job was bound to be an extremely serious consequence. Therefore, it was not difficult to understand why Yu Li and her husband were so afraid.
Of course!
Fang Yuan's original intention was not to report the two of them and make them lose their jobs.
From the beginning to the end, he was just scaring the two of them.
Now that the two of them had taken the initiative to take out the benefits, Fang Yuan had completed the mission, so it was naturally better to avoid trouble!
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan stopped while he was ahead."Seeing that the two of you have the intention to repent, I can keep this matter a secret for you. However, if there's a next time, don't blame me for being merciless!”
"No, no! There definitely wouldn't be a next time! I thank you on behalf of my family! Thank you for being lenient!"
The middle-aged woman hurriedly bowed and thanked him before leaving in a hurry.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan could not be bothered to stay any longer and turned to leave.
However, he had only taken two steps when he heard Yu Li's stammering voice behind him.
"You, wait! Can…can you help…help me with something…"
