The last sentence was directed at an old policeman.
"Hello, Captain Song!"
First Uncle and the others also stood up and greeted him. A few police officers and a captain suddenly came to the courtyard. Jia Zhangshi immediately stopped making a scene and her face was replaced by a look of panic. The three children were also frightened. It was human nature to look for their mother when they were afraid. The three children looked at their mother in unison.
Qin Huairu did not care if she was angry at the children again. At this moment, she still instinctively rushed forward to hug her three children. Qin Huairu knew that it was useless to act shamelessly at this moment. At this stage, the best solution was to let her mother-in-law take the blame. No, it was the mother-in-law's responsibility, so she should just let the broken mother-in-law do her job.
Qin Huairu immediately said to the police officers,""Police officer, police officer, my three children are still young.”Then, he ordered the children to kneel down.
Qin Huairu came up first and pretended to be pitiful. She did not immediately give up on her mother-in-law.
The policemen were all kind-hearted. As expected, when Captain Song saw the three cute children kneeling on the snow in the middle of winter with fear on their faces, his heart immediately softened.
"Aiyo, get up quickly. Why did you let the child kneel on the ground? It's so cold in the middle of winter.”,Captain Song quickly helped the three children up, then turned around and asked with a serious face,"What exactly happened?"
It was the New Year, and everyone was having a warm and lively New Year's dinner with their relatives. However, they suddenly received a call saying that there was a major theft case and the amount was huge. This time, Captain Song had no choice but to finish the case before returning home.
"Captain Song, police officers, this is what happened…"
Second Uncle took the initiative to step forward and explain the entire matter in detail.
"In other words, you witnessed the entire process of these three children stealing meat?”
"Yes."
He Yuheng nodded and said," When I was about to go buy spices, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. I was born with sharp senses. I felt that someone was staring at me." So, I pretended to go out and then quietly climbed over the wall to come in from the backyard to see what was going on.”
"As soon as I landed, I met the two brothers of the Liu family. I thought I could find someone to witness it, so I pulled the two of them along. In the end, I saw a series of footprints that led straight to my door. Those footprints were clearly the footprints of a child. I thought that this was not good, so I called the few elders in charge of the courtyard over.”
He Yuheng introduced the three old men in the courtyard to the police one by one and continued,"The person who explained to you just now was the second uncle in our courtyard. The few of us squatted in the corner and saw the three children running out of the room with pork in their arms.”
"If it was only once, I wouldn't have pursued the matter. However, after that, they ran into that house again and again to steal meat. I thought to myself that this wouldn't do. I had to get their families to come over and take a look. So I asked my sister to call the mother of the three children over. I thought that after seeing their mother, these three children would feel afraid and guilty, so they wouldn't dare to do it again. When the time came, I would ask the children's mother to return the meat that the children had stolen and apologize. In the future, I would educate the children well and not pursue the matter.”
"But guess what happened? Knowing that their mother was here, the three children still dared to steal. We just felt that this wasn't right. Where did these children get such courage from? So I followed her and saw that the old lady was happily hiding the meat she stole from me into the pickled cabbage jar. She even shouted for the youngest girl to continue stealing with her brothers and sisters.”
He Yuheng's acting skills were not bad. Although he did not reach the level of crying, such an accusation still played a certain role.
"Men, arrest him!"
When the old woman heard this, she immediately became anxious and afraid.
"Don't arrest me. I didn't steal anything.”
Since things had already come to this, the few police officers naturally wouldn't listen to her. In desperation, Grandma Awesome pointed at her daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu, and said loudly,""She ordered it, she ordered it all!”
When the surrounding people saw this old lady, they all looked disdainful. She still didn't admit it at this point and even dragged her daughter-in-law down with her.
"Granny!"
Qin Huairu cried out in grief. It looked like she was heartbroken by her mother-in-law's accusation.
However, He Yuheng felt that she was putting on an act. Although Qin Huairu's voice was filled with shock and disbelief, as well as sadness, he could tell from her fleeting gaze that she was not as sad as she appeared.
" It seems like Qin Huairu is abandoning the car to save her handsome self. In her heart, of course, her child is more important. This mother-in-law usually eats and drinks well to raise her, yet she still has the cheek to complain that the food came from an unknown source. She wouldn't believe it even if she explained it clearly. She's really wronged.”
"Captain Song, what happened?" Suddenly, a voice cut in. It was Director Zhang.
"Director Zhang."
He Yuheng went up to greet the director. Speaking of which, this director of the street office was also considered a small official. Basically, she had the final say in all the big and small matters on the street.
"What's going on?"
Why is the street director here? First Uncle looked at He Yuheng and asked silently.
He Yuheng shook his head, indicating that he did not know either. First Uncle sighed and felt tired. The more people involved in this matter, the more complicated it would be. He simply glanced at it to show that he did not want to interfere.
First Uncle agreed with He Yuheng's approach, but he did not support it. He still hoped that the matters in the courtyard could be resolved internally. There was no need to involve so many outsiders.
He Yuheng briefly explained the matter to the street class teacher. The street class teacher was a management level after all, so she was very dignified when she lectured people."Sister-in-law, how old are you? How can you still do such a foolish thing? Letting a child steal things, you're really going back in time!”
Jia Zhangshi didn't even have the space to retort. Director Zhang was still expressing her views on this matter. Her speed was very fast, like a machine gun, and she didn't stop for a moment.
But suddenly, the deaf old lady sitting at the side knocked the ground with her walking stick a few times, interrupting Director Zhang's incessant speech.
Director Zhang did not express his dissatisfaction with the old lady who interrupted him rudely. Instead, he went forward to greet her. As the family of a martyr, she was worthy of everyone's respect. Even if the higher-ups came, they had to stand in front of her respectfully.
"Ancestor, Ancestor! I really didn't steal it! It was these three brats who went to steal the meat. Then I thought, since they had already stolen it, let them take more. Anyway, Silly Zhu doesn't care about this.”
Taking the initiative to commit a crime and continuing to commit a crime were both crimes, but this Jia Zhangshi knew that she had made a mistake and did not discipline her child in time. Instead, she instigated her to do so. That was her fault.
He Yuheng suddenly said,"This great meme is fourteen years old, right?"”
"No, no, I'm still one year away!”
Others might not have known about He Yuheng's sudden question, but Qin Huairu immediately understood. Fourteen years old was the right age to be sent to juvenile detention center.
He Yuheng had previously said that he wanted to send the stick to the juvenile detention center.
"It's about time. Capture him, interrogate him, convict him, and sentence him.”
He Yuheng calmly said these words that didn't make people feel calm. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. This was like sending a stick straight to the juvenile detention center.
"I don't want to! I don't want it! It was Grandma, Grandma said that you can just take anything from Silly Zhu's house!”
After all, the stick was still a child. When he heard that he was going to be arrested and taken to the police station, he was scared silly and hurriedly defended himself.
"Bastard, when did I teach you this? I've been doting on you for nothing! You unfilial grandson!"
Jia Zhang-shi never thought that her most beloved grandson would throw such a big responsibility to her at this time. Usually, she did say that she could steal things from Silly Zhu, but they were all peanuts, melon seeds, leftovers, and other food. How could she steal so much meat like this?
"The case is already very clear." A police officer said," The ones who initiated the crime were the three children, and the one who instigated the crime was the old man. The relatives of the victims and suspects, please come with us.”
"Alright." As the victim, He Yuheng naturally agreed immediately." Police officer, I'll go back to my room to get some clothes later. You can take this meat with you. This is stolen goods. When the time comes, we'll need to set a price for this pork.”
"Yo, you know quite a bit." Captain Song looked at He Yuheng in surprise.
Director Zhang, who was at the side, spoke up for He Yuheng as if he was the one being praised. "Of course, He Yuheng is a famous prodigy on our street. He can get a raise on his first day at the meat factory! 64.50 a month!"
"64.50?"
Captain Song was a little dumbfounded when he heard this number. No matter which era it was, the quantitative indicator of whether a person was capable or not had always been based on salary. In an era where the capable were above and the weak were below, if you had the ability, you would be given a corresponding salary.
He Yuheng changed into a new set of clothes and even put on a hat because it was snowing again.
"I'm not going, I'm not going!"
Little Dang didn't want to leave at all. She grabbed the pants of a person beside her and didn't let go. Huai Hua was so scared that she cried loudly. Jia Zhangshi couldn't do anything but throw a tantrum and roll around to protest.
Captain Song was very dignified. He directly ordered the two policemen beside him to take out handcuffs and handcuff Jia Zhangshi, who was rolling around. When Little Dang saw this, he was so frightened that he let go of his hand. Qin Huairu carried Little Dang, and the child immediately found comfort in his mother's embrace. He sobbed and said,""Mom, I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to steal anymore. Mom, I don't want to go to the police station, I don't want to go to the juvenile detention center.”
When the meme heard this, he thought to himself, You're not the one going to the juvenile detention center. I'm afraid it's me. He looked terrified. He knew that there was no way he could plead for mercy now. His grandmother was already handcuffed. He couldn't help but turn to look at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu just looked at him speechlessly.
He Yuzhu wouldn't mind stealing some of his peanuts at such a young age. It was normal for children to be greedy.
In the past, he could still be said to be insensible when he was young, but now that he had grown up, he could not do such a thing again. Qin Huairu's family was in such a difficult situation. The method that the great fool had used to reduce the burden on the family was wrong. This would only add to the burden on the family and cause trouble for Qin Huairu.
As the saying went, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Their family was old and young. It was quite unbearable for them to spend the night at the police station during the new year. However, if they hadn't done what they did before, this wouldn't have happened. It could only be said that everything was their own fault.
Some people only remembered what they had been through. They wouldn't feel pain unless they were taught a harsh lesson. Once they knew the pain, they wouldn't do it again next time, and they wouldn't do it again in the future. However, there were also some people who would be more rebellious the more you stabbed them. For such people, they were stubborn and incurable.
Jia Zhangshi might belong to the second type. Otherwise, she would still do such a foolish thing at such an old age.
"He Yuheng, you heartless dog!”
When Grandma Stick was taken out of the courtyard by the police, she seemed to be venting her emotions and was still cursing.
When He Yushui heard these unpleasant words, she was furious. She went up and wanted to make a move, but she was stopped by her fiancé in time.
"Don't do it. Once you do it, the nature of this matter will change. From the looks of it, they had stolen a huge amount of money. This old man didn't stop the children in time after discovering that they had stolen. Instead, he simply let the children carry on with the theft. This instigation crime was definitely unavoidable. As for the specifics, it would depend on how they were sentenced!”
When Grandma Stick Stupid heard this, she became even more flustered and began to roar without care.
"He Yuheng, you'll die a horrible death. You sent an old woman like me to prison, and I'll curse your ancestors!”
She would go all out and scold anyone she saw.
" Qin Huairu, you wild girl from the countryside. You've jinxed my son to death…"
"Damn it, you heartless and unfilial grandson. Grandma usually gives you good food and drinks, but you want me to go to jail!”
Jia Zhang-shi valued boys over girls to a certain extent. Even so, she couldn't bear to scold the stick meme too harshly.
"Little Dang, Huai Hua…"
She had scolded all the people involved in this meat theft incident, except herself.
As she was too agitated, her body could not help but struggle with the ups and downs of her emotions as she cursed. However, her wrists were tightly cuffed and she could not release them.
It was a snowy night in the depths of winter, and the temperature was extremely low. The cold touch of the iron handcuffs and the feeling of her hands being restrained calmed her flustered mind. She clearly realized her current situation. She was about to be taken to the police station for conviction! He might even go to jail! She was already so old. Wasn't going to jail the same as taking her life?
No! He definitely wouldn't go to a godforsaken place like the police station! He didn't want to go to a terrifying place like prison!
Who else can help me? That's right! Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu is such a good person and so silly, he will definitely plead for me!
"Yuzhu, Yuzhu, quickly help auntie beg. I really know I was wrong.”
At this moment, he knew that he should not call He Yuzhu silly Zhu, but Yuzhu instead.
However, He Yuzhu ignored her. It was all because this old woman was disrespectful. She had scolded his younger brother and even talked about his ancestors. Now, she was really an idiot to speak up for her!
Seeing that even He Yuzhu, who had always taken care of her family, was ignoring her, Jia Zhangshi's face turned ashen. She did not say anything and allowed the police to take her to the police station.
The rest of the people in the courtyard looked at their departing figures and sighed." A year's plan lies in spring." Nothing good happened in the beginning of spring, and the next year would probably not be good either.
