Some villagers who did not know what had happened surrounded them. From the few words of the few people, they roughly knew what had happened.
When they heard that Chen Laosi had stolen the cement for them, they began to persuade him.
"Xiaosheng, just let him go."
"He was acting on impulse."
"Look at how pitiful he is. How can you bear to put him in prison?”
"Your fourth uncle has an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child. If he is arrested, what will happen to the old and the child?”
"Xiaosheng, you can't be like this."
"Didn't you build the road for the people in the village? If you catch him, why are you still repairing the road?”
"He's your fourth uncle. You can't send him to prison.”
"If you do that, you'll be letting down our ancestors.”
"If you personally send your fourth uncle to prison, your parents will blame you if they find out.”
……
Those people spoke as if Chen Xiaosheng was the one who had done something wrong.
Bao Ruoyun wanted to speak up for Chen Xiaosheng when she heard what these people were saying.
However, Chen Xiaosheng had warned her not to interfere in this matter.
She listened to Chen Xiaosheng's words and held back.
Chen Xiaosheng looked at the people around him and dug his ears.
"Have you guys said enough? If I say so, can I say a few words?"
Everyone quieted down and looked at Chen Xiaosheng.
"Fourth Uncle, I'll call you Fourth Uncle again."”
"I want to ask you, do you hate me very much?”
Old Fourth Chen looked at Chen Xiaosheng, not knowing how to answer.
Didn't she hate him? He stole the cement that Chen Xiaosheng used to build the road.
In fact, he needed Chen Xiaosheng to forgive him so that he wouldn't have to go to jail.
This question made it very difficult for him to answer.
The village chief tried to smooth things over." There was some misunderstanding before. We're all relatives. What's there to hate?"”
Chen Xiaosheng looked at the village chief and smiled."It seems that this question is very difficult for you to answer, Old Fourth Chen. Then I'll change to another question.”
"When you stole the cement, did you ever think that I was building a road for the village?”
"After this road is repaired, it won't be so bumpy when everyone goes to the city in the future.”
"If we succeed this time, this road will definitely not be repaired. In the future, when the villagers go to the city, they will have to suffer from bumps.”
"You said that you hate me and want to take revenge on me. Have you thought about these questions?”
Old Fourth Chen was stunned. He never thought that Chen Xiaosheng would be waiting for him here.
What could he say? Could it be that he did this because he was afraid that you would collect the toll?
But Chen Xiaosheng didn't mention the toll at all, and it was still confiscated. If he said so, no one would believe him.
Old Fourth Chen could only grit his teeth and say," I admit that it's my fault. I didn't think of this. I was rash. Xiaosheng, please forgive me!"”
The villagers looked at Chen Laosi strangely.
"Now that you mention it, I think what I said makes sense.”
"I couldn't stand that dirt road in the past. Even riding a bike would make me half dead.”
"Now that it's half-repaired, if we don't repair it because the cement was stolen, this road will be even more difficult to walk than before.”
"Maybe he'll fall while riding.”
"Old Fourth Chen, this time you did the wrong thing.”
"How can you do this?"
"We can't help you this time.”
The villagers changed their attitude and began to attack Chen Laosi.
The number above Chen Laosi's head increased rapidly. It was originally only 20, but in the blink of an eye, it increased to 50.
It could be seen how much he hated Chen Xiaosheng.
"Don't say anything else. Fourth Brother already knows his mistake."”
"He has already repented, and the cement was not stolen. Wasn't it found by the police?”
Chen Xiaosheng turned to the village chief and asked,""How did you know? Didn't the police just arrive?"
The village chief coughed." Old Fourth Chen came to find me last night. He confessed to me and told me what happened."”
"In any case, it didn't cause any losses. Xiaosheng, on the account that we're all relatives, let him go.”
The village chief secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
If it wasn't for the fact that I'm smart, I would have been caught by this kid.
Chen Xiaosheng smiled." It seems that Chen Laosi is really remorseful. He didn't turn himself in to the police last night. Instead, he went to the village chief to repent."”
"For the sake of the village chief, I forgive you.”
"Really?" Old Fourth Chen's face was full of joy.”
"That's great, Xiaosheng. Thank you, thank you so much.”
"From now on, if he dares to speak ill of you, he will be going against Old Fourth Chen.”
When those who were arrested heard this, they also shouted,"Officer, if that's the case, should I let him go too?”
Zhang Kui looked at them and shook his head.""No."
"Why?" The village chief asked," This is an internal conflict in our village. Moreover, I have already forgiven Old Fourth Chen. The others are definitely fine. Can't we settle this privately?”
"Because the person who reported the case wasn't Chen Xiaosheng, but someone from the City Hall?" Zhang Kui said lightly.”
"What do you mean?" Village Chief asked.
"Because this road was built by the City Hall, they stole state-owned assets. It's impossible for them to settle it privately. Moreover, it's not up to Chen Xiaosheng to decide whether to arrest them or not.”
Chen Xiaosheng slapped his head and said deliberately,""How did I forget about this?"
"That's true. This road was built by the City Hall. Fourth Uncle, you stole state-owned assets. You're in trouble.”
