Chapter 657 World 117
Yinyin kept the matter to herself for the time being, while Sister Zhu and Sister Qin quickly went to Qinghe Village.
With Feng Mingyue arriving first, it wasn't strange that they rarely went out.
Upon their return, the two of them brought some new information to the Di family.
Feng Mingyue was indeed engaging in speculation and profiteering in private. She sold not only gifts such as face cream and malted milk powder that others had given her, but also some grain coupons and cloth coupons that she couldn't use up and were about to expire.
Although she did it discreetly, how could the people living with her in the educated youth compound not know anything about it?
They simply thought that since everyone was part of a group, it was better to avoid trouble, or perhaps they lacked the ability to do so, and chose to remain silent.
My uncle also obtained a lot of information about Feng Mingyue's appearance through his friends.
Although Feng Mingyue disguised herself to some extent, she didn't completely change her personality. Everyone in this industry has some ability to judge people.
With the information gathered, the police soon received an anonymous tip with a clear time and location.
In the past, Feng Mingyue was the one who stirred up trouble in secret, and no one could catch her doing anything wrong.
Now the Di family has changed its approach. Instead of seizing the evidence that you harmed my family, I'll seize on other minor issues. As long as I can strike decisively and ensure you can never recover, wouldn't that achieve my original goal?
Thus, it became a situation where Feng Mingyue was in the light, while the Di family was in the dark.
On that day, which happened to be market day, the Di family didn't show up to avoid suspicion. It was the uncle who went, and upon returning, he gave Yinyin and the others a few words of advice.
"Everyone who shops in that area knows each other; they all ran away as soon as they heard the news."
"It's just that Feng Mingyue is an outsider. She didn't understand the situation, yet she dared to openly sell things at low prices on the black market."
"Because of her, everyone had to lower their prices and make less money. Who would be willing to tell her the information they had?"
Uncle paused for a moment: "Actually, Feng Mingyue almost ran away too. She had hidden in an alley in that area, but a vendor she had mocked before deliberately made a noise, which exposed her hiding place and led to her discovery."
"Even so, some members of the investigation team still wanted to protect her."
"The vendor simply stood up and directly identified Feng Mingyue, and even told her where she hid her things, which led to Feng Mingyue being arrested."
"As for that vendor," my uncle shrugged, "he became the righteous person who wrote that whistleblower letter."
The Di family members looked at each other, and unanimously kept to themselves the fact that they had found a way to deliver the letter.
Since someone is willing to acknowledge it, let him. His family doesn't like to seek the limelight.
When Yin Yin heard that only Feng Mingyue was arrested throughout the entire operation, she suddenly realized that her family could be considered the villains, right?
If the vendor who was dedicated to getting Feng Mingyue arrested was the minor villain, then the Di family was the mastermind behind this incident.
But if it's a villain who can send the female lead to prison, she feels quite happy.
After all, only the villains can live the life she has now, pampered by her family, able to do whatever she wants, and not having to care about other people's opinions.
Otherwise, in the countryside, the fact that her father, as the eldest son who was the head of the household, only had one daughter would be enough to make people gossip behind their backs, let alone the fact that they had also brought their married-out elder sister home.
As the only educated youth to be arrested, Feng Mingyue was thoroughly investigated.
From who she accepted gifts from, to how many fish she raised, and even who decided on the allocation of land, everything was investigated.
This is no longer just Feng Mingyue's problem, but a major issue that the entire local educated youth system needs to study.
Feng Mingyue was publicly criticized as a key figure and was imprisoned after trial.
"They say you can't be too bad, or even God won't stand it," the classmates from Qinghe Village said, knowing that the incident happened in Qinghe Village and would bring shame to the whole village, so they didn't dare to spread it loudly, but they could still say a few words to Yinyin in private.
"Everyone in the village is saying that while others only received a few words of education, she went to jail. They must have made a fortune."
"Now, the educated youth are doing nothing but labor and study. Several families in the village have had their weddings delayed because of the educated youth."
"Especially those male educated youths who got close to Feng Mingyue and even gave her gifts, quite a few of them had their engagements broken off."
Her voice grew louder and louder, and a classmate from Xiahe Village who overheard her came over and said, "There's one in our village too. They were planning to take wedding photos, but the bride's family found out that the male educated youth had been seeing Feng Mingyue."
"He didn't even give his own daughter much in betrothal gifts, but he bought a lot of things for Feng Mingyue, and immediately broke off the engagement."
"No matter how much the girl liked him, it was no use. Her family sent her to live with her uncle, and they'll arrange a marriage for her there. She's not allowed to come back."
It was as if a switch had been flipped; the whole class started discussing the issue.
The only place that was unaffected was probably Yuejin Village, where Yinyin lived.
There were already few educated youth in Yuejin Village. Although the two male educated youths were very close to Feng Mingyue, neither of them had reached the point of arranging marriages with any of the girls in the village.
Upon learning of this, the students all admired the foresight of the villagers of Yuejin Village.
Only those classmates from Yuejin Village realized that this wasn't foresight at all; it was clearly an early detection of the two male educated youths' wrongdoing, and a timely measure to mitigate the damage.
Many thanks to Yuejin Village, which used to be a hamlet. The elders were enlightened and taught the village girls to be straightforward and capable in matters of the heart.
Of course, after Zhao and Qian, the educated youth, were interviewed after Feng Mingyue was published in the newspaper, their attitudes toward Feng Mingyue took a complete 180-degree turn.
What I liked before, I hate now.
Whether it's true or not, the two of them were more enthusiastic than Qin and Zhu in criticizing Feng Mingyue during the educated youth's meeting.
Other male educated youth who had previously been close to Feng Mingyue were just as enthusiastic as them.
However, none of these things could distract Yin Yin and her brother in the slightest at this moment.
June has arrived again, and with graduation exams just around the corner, the two of them are going to be very busy.
Yinyin rubbed her slightly sore eyes and looked up at Di Heping.
"Brother, has your teacher talked to you?"
