In the living room, Officer Tan Zhen and Xia Shige looked at each other.
Xia Shige pinched his brows helplessly, leaned over and whispered in Officer Tan Zhen's ear: "Why not just forget it..."
Xia Shige originally thought that Aunt Fan's family was a bunch of criminals who had stolen supplies many times and committed all kinds of crimes, and he was ready to teach them a lesson.
But I didn't expect it to be this scene.
Their family is really in difficulty.
Xia Shige also knew that in the apocalypse, one must not be a saint and must not have any unnecessary compassion, but...
Looking at the child in front of me who is as thin as a firewood stick, and the pregnant woman with sunken cheeks and a bulging belly but still abnormally thin...
Faced with this family of elderly, weak, women and children, Xia Shige was a little hesitant to deal with them seriously.
Just then, Aunt Fan came back.
She held the piece of pork in her hand and awkwardly handed it to Xia Shige, saying, "Little girl, I'm really sorry, we have already eaten one third of it, and now there are only this much left..."
When Aunt Fan stole the meat back yesterday, she quickly cut a portion of it, cooked it, and gave it to her daughter-in-law to eat, and gave the broth to her grandson to drink.
Although the piece of meat was only the size of a palm, they were reluctant to finish it in one go and only ate one third of it.
Xia Shige took a look at the pork and didn't take it.
She thought that she might as well give the piece of pork to Aunt Fan's family, since she would not eat it after taking it back.
Seeing that Xia Shige didn't take the pork, Aunt Fan thought she was unhappy, and said quickly: "Little girl, don't worry, we don't want you to suffer a loss, we will compensate you!"
Then, Aunt Fan turned around, opened a few bedroom doors, and said to Xia Shige in a flattering tone: "Little girl, take a look at our house. Take away whatever you need! As long as you can leave us two cotton-padded clothes and a quilt, you can take whatever else you want!"
Wang Shujuan also nodded quickly. She looked at Xia Shige with a guilty look and said, "Big sister, we are sorry for you. It's all my fault for being greedy. So, you can take my snow boots and cotton jacket. I haven't worn them once since I got them back. They are still dirty. You can exchange them for some rice on the black market!"
"Oh, by the way, we have two coal stoves in the bedroom. If you need them, just move one away, as long as you can leave one for us."
After saying that, both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law looked at Xia Shige eagerly, their eyes full of pleading.
Under their gaze, Xia Shige sighed silently.
She was silent for a moment, then said, "Forget it this time. I don't want compensation, but I hope it won't happen again."
Out of humanitarianism, Xia Shige can give Aunt Fan and her family a chance.
But if it happens again, or if Aunt Fan and her family do something detrimental to the Xia family, Xia Shige will no longer tolerate it.
She had many ways to make this family disappear silently.
When Officer Tan Zhen heard Xia Shige say this, he also said, "Since the owner has forgiven you, let it go this time. But I will give you this warning. If you do it again, you will be punished more severely!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Fan and Wang Shujuan showed expressions of shock and joy on their faces - Xia Shige actually forgave them so easily?
These days, materials are precious, and pork is even harder to come by. I didn't expect Xia Shige to be so generous.
Then they excitedly held Xia Shige's hands and kept thanking her.
"Thank you, little girl, thank you so much!"
"We promise not to make the same mistake again! Thank you for giving us this opportunity!"
Xia Shige was a little overwhelmed by the situation. She waved her hands and said to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law awkwardly, "You can keep this piece of pork to nourish your body... But I hope you don't tell anyone about this..."
