Mother Kong, her face pale, rushed towards Father Kong, "Old Kong, what's going on? Why are they handcuffing you and our son?"
"Comrade Gong'an, there must be some misunderstanding. Please release them, please release them quickly."
Shishi: "Someone gave you a pair of silver bracelets, why aren't you happy? Smile, smile triumphantly."
"Guoliang, don't scare me, what happened?" Kong Guoliang's wife, like a delicate flower that had never seen the storm, had tears welling up in her eyes.
Shishi: "Big news, very big news! Congratulations on getting a government job, for free! Bang bang bang, here's a mouth-fired firework for you."
Everyone: ...Is this how you use "always answer questions"?
Lu Fan and Zhang Dong suppressed their laughter.
My sister-in-law is good at ruining the atmosphere; she managed to turn the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from fright into complete bewilderment.
Xie Lin took the hand of the mischievous boy and said, "Be good, don't say anything yet, we'll get the change later."
What are you waiting for? Let's find it now.
Kong Guolan dropped the dumplings in her hand to the ground, her flour-covered hands gripping Chen Haoyu's hand.
"Ayu, what, what happened to my dad and brother? Why are they being arrested?"
Shishi wanted to send her blessings again, but Xie Lin covered her mouth, saying, "Shishi, you're distracted. I'll find the money first, don't cry."
May our ancestors have mercy on them; they've already suffered enough.
The person shut up and focused on finding her little bit of money.
Regardless of their wailing and lamenting, Li Huanian said solemnly, "The Kong family father and son have embezzled for many years by abusing their positions, amounting to tens of thousands of yuan. The evidence is conclusive, and they themselves have confessed."
"Family members, are you aware of this?"
The three women had no time to cry; their faces turned ashen instantly.
No need for investigation; they're all insiders and beneficiaries.
Li Huanian led his men to search the house.
It was well hidden; on the surface, there were only a couple hundred yuan in cash, and the savings account showed about 1,000 yuan, which was consistent with the savings of a working-class family over many years.
Aside from some appliances, there wasn't much extra money in the house.
This is where Shishi and Xie Lin came in handy.
With keen eyesight, they quickly located the secret compartment behind the wardrobe in the master bedroom.
It's too easy for two people in the construction industry to set up a hidden compartment.
Upon opening it, the stench of money assaulted the senses; bundles of large denomination bills filled the hidden compartment, dazzling everyone's eyes.
As Shishi said, most of the money the father and son embezzled was hidden at home, and the only money they kept in the bank was their salary after deducting expenses.
This job is also a secure one, with a much higher salary than factory workers. If they behave themselves, they will definitely live a more comfortable life than most families.
Unfortunately, human nature is never satisfied.
The Kong family is extravagant; they have spent a lot of the embezzled money over the years, and what they have left is simply not enough.
Then the Kong family's house was completely ransacked; furniture, appliances, clothing, every single item that could be sold for money was taken.
Even the freshly made dumplings were snatched up by Shishi, who plucked feathers from the passing geese.
Hmph, you dare to steal my money? I'll skin you alive!
The house was the ancestral property of the Kong family, and Li Huanian's idea was to mortgage it to fill the hole, which Shishi accepted on the spot.
The rule against buying and selling applies to others, but she is an exception.
A small courtyard house, once renovated, can become quite valuable.
"Uncle Hua Nian, please help me transfer the property to Xiao Liu later."
If the eldest son owns property, the youngest son should too.
Guagua said that in two years more and more people will sell their houses and go abroad. She wants to find a bargain: a courtyard house in Beijing. I'll take it all.
Not enough money?
No problem, I'll draw a few more pictures, and the government will pay for them.
Li Huanian laughed and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it for you later."
After finalizing the house purchase, Shishi kindly left behind a piece of paper.
Yes, it's for Chen Haoyu.
She found it in a drawer in Kong Guolan's room.
"Look, this is a surprise for you."
Chen Haoyu felt as if he had fallen into an icy pool after just one glance, his whole body turning cold.
This is a report of a miscarriage, dated a week ago.
"You aborted our child?"
If you're not pregnant, you can wait; but if you are pregnant, why would you abort?
With the downfall of the Kong family, Kong Guolan lost her confidence and dared not be arrogant anymore.
"No, no, it's because I accidentally fell and that's why it leaked."
"Really?" Chen Haoyu asked, half believing it.
"Of course it's true, you can ask Mom if you don't believe me." Kong Guolan was gentler and more considerate than ever before, if her eyes didn't dart away.
Kong's mother was already mentally broken by the blow, and she and her daughter-in-law were at a loss, holding their two grandsons.
The man was arrested, they lost their money and their home, what should they do?
One moment he was enjoying heaven, the next he was plunged into hell, and he had no time to pay attention to Kong Guolan.
Shishi is being kind again, pointing to the signature area and explaining.
"I voluntarily relinquish the child. The signature is beautiful, with smooth strokes and elegant writing, proving that the signer was in no pain or discomfort at the time and was as strong as an ox."
Chen Haoyu's gaze was fixed on the smoothly written signature. He took a deep breath, wanting to question it, when he caught a glimpse of the fact that the pregnancy was one month along.
January.
He has been working at the school construction site for almost three months and has not returned home during that time.
The pregnancy and abortion took only a little over a month.
So it's not his child at all.
Chen Haoyu's eyes were bloodshot. "Kong Guolan, you actually cheated on me! The child was a month old, and you had an abortion a week ago. In total, I wasn't home for over a month."
He practically yelled it out.
A man doesn't easily shed tears, but he punched himself twice, leaving two tear tracks, his heart ashen.
"Kong Guolan, let's get a divorce."
Kong Guolan was terrified and clung to his leg, crying and begging for mercy.
"No, Ayu, I won't get a divorce. I was confused this time. Please forgive me this once, and I will never dare to do it again."
