Chapter 748: Official Business
This time, Sun Hao didn't need to speak. The police officer at the side said, "He Caixia, be honest. This is not the place for you to make trouble. If you continue like this, everything will be handled impartially. You should know that the fact that you can meet the person involved and talk to her face to face is already a pardon from the law."
Lin Chuxia looked at He Caixia's face full of dissatisfaction and asked the police officer directly, "I just calculated that the lost furniture and daily necessities, including the TV, are worth almost two thousand yuan. If you need an invoice, I can provide it. Comrade, how long should the sentence be for theft of this amount?"
"According to Chinese law, stealing more than 200 yuan is considered a large amount of theft and is punishable by up to three years in prison, criminal detention or surveillance, and a fine. With the amount she stole, she could spend two to three years in prison."
When she heard that she was really going to go to jail, He Caixia lost her composure.
"You can't do this, that's my dad's stuff," she said, and then she saw Lin Chuxia looking at her with a half-smile, and quickly changed her words, "This matter is not up to her alone. I want to see my dad, and my dad will definitely not let me go to jail."
"He Caixia, Master won't see you. He warned you about what happened last time. Since you've severed the father-daughter relationship, you should do it cleanly. He also said he won't recognize you as his daughter anymore. You stood up and hurt the old man's heart. When the old man was all alone, you didn't care about him. Now you're secretly selling his things and you want him to intercede for you. Can't you have some bottom line and stop being so thick-skinned?"
She stood up straight, turned to Sun Hao and said, "There is nothing more to say. Let's handle this matter impartially. I will cooperate with you on the procedures."
Before coming, she had explained everything clearly to her master. If the master still cared about the father-daughter relationship, the matter would be over. If he didn't want to have any contact with the two daughters anymore, Lin Chuxia would handle the matter.
Mr. He chose the latter, but he just wanted to come along and take a look.
In fact, Lin Chuxia had already seen it when the two daughters came to Mr. He last time, that the two of them had already broken Mr. He's heart.
It’s just that those two people were too shameless, and Mr. He couldn’t bring himself to do that.
The reason why the old man made up his mind to leave Ancheng and live in Yan City was not only because she was pregnant, but also because he wanted to avoid his two daughters.
"No," He Caixia shouted, "Lin Chuxia, Mr. Lin, I was wrong. I can't go to jail. I really have no other choice. You know, my husband was laid off and my daughter can't afford the tuition. I had no choice but to think of my father's house. He doesn't live in it now, so the house is idle anyway. I just want to sell a few pieces of furniture in it..."
"So you've thought about selling the house?" Lin Chuxia almost laughed out of anger, "He Caixia, I've seen people who are ruthless and heartless, but I've never seen someone as ruthless and heartless as you."
He Caixia got anxious seeing her like this, "Lin Chuxia, you said I was ruthless, but how much better are you? You and my father have no relationship, but you want to take care of him until the end of his life. Isn't it because you like my father's house? In the final analysis, you are not much better than me. My father was just confused for a while and was deceived by you. Sooner or later, you will get your comeuppance for what you have done."
"Your father's house? He Caixia, do you want to listen to what you are saying? If the old man's house is so valuable in your eyes, why didn't you buy those houses to support him in his old age when he came back? Why did you wait for an outsider like me to come and take advantage of this?"
He Caixia was speechless, but when she thought about going to jail, she started crying and begging.
"I was wrong, Mr. Lin. You are a great man and you should not take the small mistakes seriously. Besides, that little money is just a small amount of money to you. For my father's sake, please let me go. After all, I am his daughter. If you send me to jail, my father will be sad too."
Lin Chuxia didn't want to waste any more time talking to her, so she left the interrogation room with Sun Hao.
Sun Hao also despised He Caixia's behavior.
In fact, what Lin Chuxia didn’t say was that when Mr. He moved to Yan City, he gave this yard to Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia naturally refused. In her opinion, since she had accepted Mr. He as her master, it was her duty as a disciple to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.
But Mr. He always felt that she did not teach Lin Chuxia any skills, nor did she stand up for her. When they went to Yan City, it was Lin Chuxia who bought the yard for him.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to give all the property under my name to Lin Chuxia, so that Lin Chuxia can support me.
It seems more justified.
Besides, sooner or later, these things of his will belong to Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia couldn't persuade Mr. He, so she agreed.
Moreover, in Lin Chuxia's opinion, it doesn't matter whose name the property is in, and she won't be greedy for the old man's things, so she might as well give the old man peace of mind.
Therefore, Lin Chuxia has the most say in handling this theft case.
As the two of them were talking, they walked out. A voice came from a distance, "Chu Xia."
The voice sounded strange yet familiar. I saw Li Guangyuan not far away. He was sitting opposite a policeman.
Lin Chuxia nodded at him calmly as a response to his greeting, and continued to walk out with Sun Hao.
"Chuxia, wait a minute..."
Lin Chuxia frowned slightly.
She remembered that Li Guangyuan had always called her sister-in-law. Although he now knew that she and Lin Jiayi were not biological sisters, Li Guangyuan should have called her by her full name, Lin Chuxia, instead of calling her Chuxia so intimately.
Sun Hao sent the person to the door and saw Li Guangyuan chasing out. He knew that the two of them must have something to say, so he said hello to Lin Chuxia and went back.
Lin Chuxia didn't want to pay attention to Li Guangyuan. She didn't want to have any contact with this man in her life.
As a result, Li Guangyuan stepped forward and stopped in front of her, looking at her with concern and asked, "Why are you here at the police station? Did something happen to you? If you have anything to say, you can tell me. After all, we have been relatives for so many years."
Lin Chuxia refused directly, "I have nothing to say to you. Didn't you divorce Lin Jiayi a long time ago? Even if you two didn't divorce, I have nothing to say to you."
Li Guangyuan didn't care about her coldness. "I know there was a misunderstanding between you and your sister before. Your sister knew her mistake a long time ago. Although we are divorced, we are still together now. We sell vegetables at the night market. Chuxia, your sister said that it was you who suggested her to sell vegetables at the night market. She thought I was suitable for the vegetable business, right?"
He looked at Lin Chuxia without blinking.
He still remembered that dream, they were so poor that they could barely make ends meet.
When they got married, the Lin family asked the Li family for a dowry of 300 yuan, which made the Li family's poor life even worse.
It was Lin Chuxia who suggested going to the county town to sell vegetables to make money.
