Chapter 147: Even if it is for the greater good, I will never let my daughter-in-law suffer
Shang Xuetang was sitting opposite Ye Xiaomei. When he saw this, he was so frightened that the wonton in the spoon fell out.
Ye Xiaomei didn't notice why he was so scared and turned around suddenly.
"Sister-in-law, I'm eating wontons."
It's Zhang Sanmao.
Ye Xiaomei stood up quickly. She had to rely on Brother Sanmao to find out the truth about this matter. Otherwise, her 18-year dream might have been shattered in the cornfield.
"Do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
Zhang Sanmao took off his police hat, rubbed his head, and put it back on: "Sister-in-law, I won't eat, but I can wait for you to finish. I have something to do over there, and I don't want to delay your afternoon class."
Ye Xiaomei thought it might be related to the fact that Wang Juanding was taking her place in school, so she ate a few mouthfuls and paid the bill.
"Shang Xuetang, I'm leaving first. By the way, I thought your last name was Shang at first, which means Shang."
Shang Xuetang's face finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Perhaps when she lent him a book after class, she saw the title and realized that she was not the one with the surname Shang.
"Grandma, pack a bowl." Zhang Sanmao was not in a hurry to get in the car. It went without saying that he had to take care of his eldest brother's wife to some extent. Looking at the wontons that were not eaten, he knew that his sister-in-law was not full.
He got on the car carrying a bowl of wontons and when he arrived at the police station, the first thing he did was to ask someone to bring his lunch box, put it in a plastic bag and hand it to his sister-in-law, and then he started eating in the interrogation room.
"What's the matter, Brother Sanmao?" Ye Xiaomei asked while eating. The wontons were still hot and she couldn't eat them without blowing on them.
Sanmao took off his police hat and thought for a while: "Sister-in-law, the person who intercepted your admission letter was your brother-in-law. I also called the boss, and he said that it was a business matter."
Ye Xiaomei started coughing when she heard this. Although she knew it was her brother-in-law who did it, no, strictly speaking it was her eldest sister who did it, but she was only concerned about how to study well and almost forgot about it.
If you think about it carefully, Ma Qijun is indeed very clear about the distinction between public and private affairs. Not to mention anything else, when he is with me, he is a little rogue, but when handling official business, he is an iron-faced and selfless Bao Qingtian. He is capable of doing such a thing.
"But that's not the point." Sanmao rubbed his head hard.
"Then where is it?" Ye Xiaomei was confused this time.
"Let me tell you this, sister-in-law. They were called in for questioning at noon. Your elder sister Ma Qihong and Chen Shuang have been arguing and blaming each other. They were all talking about family matters, and they even fought..."
Before he could finish his words, the door of the interrogation room was knocked open: "Special Commissioner Zhang, Ma Qihong and Chen are having fun."
After that, the two were taken into the interrogation room.
Ye Xiaomei quickly put down the spoon, her eyes wide open. There were nail marks on her brother-in-law's face, and there was a bruise at the corner of her eldest sister's mouth.
Ye Xiaomei quickly regained her composure, lowered her head and ate her wontons slowly and leisurely.
"What are you still trying for? I've already said that I stole the admission letter while I was delivering food to my man. Just tell me how many years you want me to be sentenced to."
Ma Qihong spoke first.
Chen Shuang on the side looked away angrily.
Zhang Sanmao saw that his sister-in-law was only interested in eating wontons after he invited her over, so he had to speak first:
"If the situation is true, Comrade Ma Qihong will be detained for at least three days, and he will also have to negotiate with the victim about compensation for mental damages, but..."
Zhang Sanmao put on his police hat again and said righteously: "Even if you plead guilty, as the second-in-command of the Postal Administration, Comrade Chen Shuang must bear the judgment and sanctions for dereliction of duty. If you want to hire a lawyer, you can do so at any time."
Ma Qihong stood up immediately after hearing this:
"I just don't want my younger siblings to go to school while pregnant. Can't I take all the blame on myself? What's more, my husband doesn't even know about it."
Ye Xiaomei finished the last wonton and took a sip of soup before putting down the bowl and spoon:
"Sister, actually Brother Sanmao didn't ask me to come here to talk to you about business matters." Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought her here:
"I just want to know, does my going to school have any impact on you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Qihong's pupils suddenly shrank. Yes, she had never thought about this problem. After being reminded of this, she realized that this matter was none of her business.
"You...you are pregnant with my Ye family's child, so of course there is a connection." Ma Qihong said with a stiff face.
"Although I was young and married Ma Qijun at the age of 18, I also know that a married daughter should just live her life well. Don't you know this, elder sister?"
Ye Xiaomei spoke tentatively and glanced at her brother-in-law subconsciously.
As expected, Chen Shuang glared at Ma Qihong. If she didn't always ask about her parents' affairs, she would probably be living a good life:
"I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense. You are just confused about some things. Too confused." Chen Shuang slammed the table vigorously.
It’s not that Ye Xiaomei doesn’t blame her elder sister, it’s just that she can’t be blamed. If anyone is to blame, it’s still Wang Lan who assigned her to do it.
Ma Qihong cried softly, covering her face with her hands, tears streaming out from between her fingers.
Zhang Sanmao was stunned for a while, then looked at the couple and his sister-in-law. His eyes sank slightly and fell on his sister-in-law's belly. Oh my god, she's pregnant.
I really can't believe that she went to school while pregnant. How could he be so carefree?
"Comrade police, you can decide how to handle this matter, whether it's compensation or detention. After all, my wife was confused for a moment, and it's my fault as her husband that I didn't supervise her properly." Seeing how sad she was crying, Chen Shuang finally showed some tenderness in his eyes.
"That depends on the parties involved. It would be best if we could settle the matter amicably and privately." Zhang Sanmao pushed the matter to Ye Xiaomei, and he also followed the procedure.
Ye Xiaomei is not that honest and great, but in her eyes, money is the cleanest money she earns, and she wants nothing else:
"I don't want any compensation either. I just want to be detained according to legal procedures."
After hearing this, Chen Shuang and his wife were stunned. Ma Qihong forgot to cry and looked at Ye Xiaomei with sly eyes:
"Xiao Mei, I'm your elder sister. You might as well ask for compensation. Aren't you just adding a stain to my name?"
She is a regular worker in the city, working as a workshop manager in a textile factory. There has been a recent trend of workers being laid off, so she is likely to be one of the first to be laid off.
Ye Xiaomei smiled and said, "Big sister, you can only gain a foothold if you dare to act and take responsibility. I used to be illiterate and thought that reason could take you anywhere, but I never learned the reason taught in books. That's why I want to study so much now. If I were you, I would have the courage to bear the consequences of my actions, otherwise, I would never do this."
Ye Xiaomei's voice was very soft, and no emotion could be heard from it.
Zhang Sanmao took another look at his sister-in-law. She was not very tall and her voice was not loud, but her words were very shocking. He seemed to understand how the monk, Lao Da, could fall in love with someone like his sister-in-law.
"Xiao Mei, please forgive me this time. I beg you. Even Qi Jun wouldn't be so heartless."
Ma Qihong's face was covered with tears.
Chen Shuang herself was an intellectual who had been sent down to the countryside. She knew that what Ye Xiaomei said made sense and she had nothing to refute.
Ye Xiaomei had just walked out of the interrogation room when she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Ma Qihong.
Zhang Sanmao knew that this matter was inevitable: "Ma Qihong, I have already spoken to Captain Ma before, and he said that he would handle it impartially."
