Aunt Wang never expected that the thief was actually Liang Dashi. If she didn't know that Chen Shichu would not joke about this kind of thing, she would not believe it at all. But since Chen Shichu said so, it must really be him.
"Liang Dashi's family is in pretty good condition, and they are not short of money, so why did they fall into being a thief?" Aunt Wang couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know either." Chen Shichu shrugged and returned home. After Aunt Wang got this huge news from her, she immediately went out to find someone to talk to.
Soon everyone knew that it was Liang Dashi who went to Chen Shichu's house to steal things, and Liang Dashi's sons and daughters-in-law also knew about it.
When Liang heard the news, he ran home without stopping to find his two younger brothers to discuss the matter: "Second, third, they said the person who stole Chen Shichu's things was our father!"
When Liang Lao Er and Liang Lao San heard this, their first reaction was disbelief.
"How is it possible? Our father has never stolen anything before, so why did he suddenly become a thief this time? The police must have arrested the wrong person!" Liang Laoer said firmly.
"That's right, our family is not short of money. The three of us brothers pay him a sum of money every year, which is enough for him to live a comfortable life. Why does he need to be a thief? This must be a mistake. Our father will not do this. It’s something to do.” Liang Laosan also said with great certainty.
"I don't think it's our father, but those people in the village swear that it was you, Chen Shichu, who said this after you came back from the police station. Could it be that Chen Shichu can still slander our father?" Boss Liang didn't want to believe that his biological father was dead. He was a thief, but Chen Shichu had no reason to insist on slandering his father! This just doesn't make sense.
"Can't we just go and ask Chen Shichu directly?" Liang Laosan said.
"Okay, let's go and ask clearly." Boss Liang took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, so the three brothers went to Chen Shichu's house.
But when they arrived, the door of Chen Shichu's house was locked, so the three of them went to the cassava processing factory to look for her.
Sure enough, Chen Shichu was at the cassava processing factory. When she saw the three brothers who came to see her, she asked them to come to the office to talk.
"I heard that the thief who stole your things was my father. I want to ask if this is true." Boss Liang said with a straight face and angrily.
"It's true. The police caught him at the scene where he was selling the stolen goods. Both the person and the stolen goods were recovered. The evidence is conclusive. Your father is indeed a thief who broke into my house and stole things." Chen Shichu said frankly, without any euphemism in his words. Sufferer, she is already being generous by not showing off her anger. Do you think she should be considerate of the family members of the perpetrator?
"Then it's possible that it was stolen by others, and my father just helped others sell stolen goods?" Liang Laoer said with luck.
Chen Shichu glanced at him lightly and said, "The surveillance camera at my house captured your father's face. From the beginning to the end, he was the only one who showed up at my house and stole things."
As soon as she said these words, the faces of the three brothers from the Liang family immediately turned red. Fortunately, they were dark, so it was not so obvious.
After a while, Boss Liang asked her with difficulty: "How long will my father be locked up in there?"
"The sentence will probably be a few years." Chen Shichu said, "The amount he stole was huge, so the sentence will be heavier." She did not hide it from them.
"If we ask him to return the things to you, can you not sue him?" Liang Laoer asked tentatively.
"No, he stole my things. If I let him go, wouldn't it mean that anyone can come to my house and steal from me in the future? I can't stand living alone." Chen Shichu refused firmly.
Liang Laosan said anxiously: "In addition to returning the stolen things to you, we can also compensate you for your losses, apologize to you, and we can reconcile privately. Can you withdraw the case? My father is already so old. If How can you bear going to jail?”
"Why would he become a thief if he couldn't bear it? If you do it, you should be mentally prepared to go to jail. You don't think you can escape punishment at your age, right? What do you think of the law? It's just a piece of paper? "Chen Shichu sneered.
"We are all from the same village. We don't meet each other when we look up. Do you really want to be so disrespectful?" Liang Lao Er suddenly became angry when he saw that Chen Shichu showed no sign of compromise.
"You also know that we are from the same village and have a close relationship? Then when your father stole my things, why didn't you stop stealing for the sake of the people in the same village?" Chen Shichu also had a cold face, "Or are you just trying to trick people you know? Do you think you do it? Am I easy to bully?"
"No, no, you misunderstood. The third child didn't mean that." When Boss Liang saw that Chen Shichu was angry, he quickly persuaded him, "My third child is just a little impulsive and too anxious. I don't mean to bully you... Sigh... , Aunt Chen, I know that my father should be punished for being a thief, but I have to think about my sons and nephews. If they have a grandfather who is a thief and goes to jail, they will never be able to hold their heads up in the village for the rest of their lives. , anyone can look down on them, the oldest of them is only ten years old, and they have been discriminated against and bullied at a young age, what will they do in the future?"
Boss Liang started to pretend to be pitiful and used the child to play the emotional card. After all, didn't he just want Chen Shichu to withdraw the lawsuit and not sue his father?
But why should she think about Liang's family? It was Liang Dashi who was sorry for them, not Chen Shichu.
"Then it's your father's fault. What's wrong? He insists on becoming a thief for Lao Buzun. In the final analysis, it's his fault. It's an unchangeable fact that he is a thief. No matter whether he goes to jail or not, the villagers Everyone knows that he is a thief. Your children are destined to be discriminated against and ridiculed. You can't blame me for this. Who made their grandfather a thief?" Chen Shichu will not be kidnapped by morality.
Chen Shichu's repeated use of the word "thief" irritated the impulsive and reckless Liang Laosan. He slapped the table with a bang and glared angrily: "Chen, you keep refusing to reconcile. You insist on making my father go to jail." Isn’t that right? I can’t forgive you. Please be careful when walking at night in the future..."
Chen Shichu immediately took out his mobile phone, opened the video recording software, and pointed the camera at Liang Laosan: "You threatened and intimidated me. If anything happens to me in the future, it will be done by your family, and the reason is retaliation."
"You, you!" Liang Laosan was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly. He even reached out angrily to snatch Chen Shichu's mobile phone, "I let you take the picture! Let you take the picture!"
Chen Shichu didn't wait for him to pounce and kicked him in the stomach. He flew back several meters and then hit the wall heavily.
Liang Lao and Liang Lao Er quickly went to help him. Chen Shichu continued to hold up his mobile phone and said, "You still want to attack me. I was just acting in self-defense. Now I have reasonable suspicion that you will continue to hurt me, so I want you to leave me." Office, three of you, if you don't want me to send you to jail, please leave."
When Liang Lao Er and Liang Lao Er heard what she said, they gritted their teeth in anger, but they had no choice but to help Liang Lao San and leave.
