I have

Xu Sui carefully considered everyone and finally focused on Feng Xiaohua.

Feng Xiaohua is one of Gu Shuang's followers, and she's the kind of inconspicuous little follower.

She was just putting the lunchbox back in her cabinet when Feng Xiaohua saw her. No one else knew that she had put the lunchbox in the cabinet.

"Sui Sui, aren't you going to the cafeteria for lunch?"

At this moment, Yang Yun, who had previously taught Xu Sui to dance, had returned from the cafeteria.

Xu Sui pursed her lips. "The food I kept in the cupboard is gone."

"Xiaoyun, have you seen Feng Xiaohua?"

Yang Yun paused for a moment, thought carefully for a moment, and shook his head. "It seems I didn't see her. Usually at lunchtime, she would run ahead of me, and I could always see her back."

"Today is a bit strange."

If you ask when everyone is most enthusiastic, it's definitely when they go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Those who arrive early can get free soup, although it's not very oily, but if they're lucky, they might also get a few vegetable leaves to fill their stomachs.

There were also some people in the performing arts troupe who came from poor families, such as her and Feng Xiaohua. Therefore, she and Feng Xiaohua were always among the most enthusiastic to eat lunch every day.

Xu Sui, enduring her stomach throbbing with hunger, asked, "Do you know any places in our performing arts troupe where there aren't many people?"

There's no evidence yet, and she can't be sure it's Feng Xiaohua.

But no matter who it is, she will not let them get away with stealing her food.

Yang Yun immediately guessed what was going on, and her expression turned serious. "There are a few places, anyway, we don't have anything else to do right now, I'll take you to find her."

These days, it's not uncommon for people from well-off families or those with special skills to secretly give themselves special treatment.

In the performing arts troupe, those who steal food will not return to their dormitories to avoid being discovered.

Therefore, the only place suitable for private meals is the one behind the mountain.

Before long, the two arrived at the back hill behind the cultural troupe. The back hill was not big, with a few trees and a secluded slope.

As soon as Xu Sui walked in, she smelled the familiar aroma of food, exactly the same as the box of food Qin Yunzhou had given her last time.

Yang Yun smelled it too, and his stomach, which had just eaten a dark-colored steamed bun, suddenly growled.

It was crystal clear in this empty and quiet place.

She gave an awkward smile and subconsciously looked away.

However, the next second, they saw Feng Xiaohua sitting on a rock, head down, holding a lunchbox, taking a big bite of fatty meat, her mouth dripping with oil.

"Sui Sui, look, isn't that it?" Yang Yun immediately realized.

Xu Sui followed her gaze and instantly saw the familiar lunchbox and the familiar meat.

She walked over quickly.

On the other side, Feng Xiaohua, who was engrossed in eating, also noticed the two of them and turned pale.

He hurriedly buried his head and sped up his eating, finishing the last bit of food in the lunchbox. He even licked the lunchbox several times, as if it had been washed with water; the inside of the lunchbox was so clean it shone.

The way he looks, it's obvious he has something to hide.

Xu Sui ran up to Feng Xiaohua, glanced at the mark on the lunchbox, and asked, "Did you take the lunchbox I put in the cupboard?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do it, Xu Sui, don't slander me." Feng Xiaohua licked the last bit of oil off her lips, let out a satisfied burp, rolled her eyes, and was about to leave.

Xu Sui stepped forward and blocked her way. "There's a dent on the lid of the lunchbox you're holding. I bumped into it by accident earlier."

"This is clearly mine, how did it become yours?"

"Also, you ate the rations inside; there was quite a bit of meat and refined grains in there."

"Feng Xiaohua, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Yang Yun also came over, looking at the lunchbox that had been licked clean in disbelief, and couldn't help but speak out angrily.

"Feng Xiaohua, why did you do such a thing?"

These days, even coarse grains are hard to come by, let alone fatty meat and refined grains.

Even if you're starving or poor, you can't be so shameless as to steal other people's food.

Feng Xiaohua's face paled slightly, and she subconsciously hid the lunchbox on her person. "I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. Everyone's lunchboxes are pretty much the same. Anyone with eyes can see the dent that Xu Sui mentioned."

"Who knows if she's lying? You either need to produce other evidence, or get out of my way, I'm going back."

Anyway, she ate it all up, leaving not a single bit of oil.

Even if they find evidence, they can't make her spit it out.

Besides, she's so hungry she's malnourished and almost developed edema, while Xu Sui is healthy with fair and rosy skin. What's wrong with her missing a meal? She won't die.

The blame lies with Xu Sui for placing the food with meat in a place she could easily reach, making her so hungry she couldn't stand it anymore.

This was the first time Xu Sui had ever seen such a shameless person. She decided not to waste words with her, stepped forward without saying a word, snatched the lunchbox back from behind Feng Xiaohua, and pointed to the bottom of the lunchbox.

"You want evidence? Fine, I'll give you evidence."

"See that? The scratches here have the character 'Xu' written on it. 'Xu' is my surname, and your surname is 'Feng.' Now what do you have to say?"

"Fine, I'll just take you to see the commander. He's here today, and you ate my rations, not just any rations. I can't just leave you with nothing. Besides, this month's wages are coming up soon."

"All compensation will be deducted from your salary and benefits."

Feng Xiaohua panicked and struggled to escape.

"No, I won't go! Let go, Xu Sui, let me go!"

"What makes you think you are? All that stuff you eat comes from men. What are you so arrogant about?"

"I didn't eat your food, why are you arresting me?"

Her allowance and food coupons had to be sent back to her hometown in the countryside; not a penny less would do, or her parents and younger siblings would starve to death.

She wasn't as lucky as Xu Sui, who came from an ordinary background but managed to hook up with one good man after another, who brought her food, drink, and money during famine years.

Xu Sui suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Feng Xiaohua, you really need this job, don't you?"

And coincidentally, she didn't really like her job in the performing arts troupe.

If a fight breaks out between members of the performing arts troupe, both sides will suffer.

Feng Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant.

The next second, her hair was grabbed hard and a slap landed on her face.

Snapped--

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Feng Xiaohua's ears were ringing, and for a moment it seemed as if she had lost all sound. Her cheeks were burning with pain.

She collapsed to the ground, instinctively covering her face. "You...you actually dared to hit me?"

"Fine, I hit you. If you're so tough, hit me back." Xu Sui grabbed Feng Xiaohua's chin and slapped her again, making her see stars and her nose bleed.

Feng Xiaohua went completely mad and began to fight back desperately.

Unfortunately, Xu Sui didn't even get a single hair on his head.

She was an orphan from a young age and grew up by collecting garbage and selling scrap. She was beaten by many people. At first, she was beaten black and blue, but later she beat back one by one of those who beat her.

Someone like Feng Xiaohua, who is severely malnourished, wouldn't stand a chance against even ten more of her.

Seeing that things had escalated, Yang Yun, who was standing nearby, quickly went to call for help.

Before long, the news had spread throughout the entire performing arts troupe.
