Chapter 145: Come Back
Father Fu is a person who has always been upright and cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes.
At this moment, what Fu's mother was doing was simply jumping madly on her minefield.
Father Fu looked at the police car outside and the crowd of villagers in the yard.
They are all here to watch the fun.
My eyelids started twitching instantly and I was extremely angry.
However, with so many people here at the moment, she couldn't afford to lose face in front of Fu's mother in front of the villagers.
So, she could only grit her teeth and swallow all her anger, thinking that she would settle the score with Fu's mother after everyone left.
Therefore, Fu's father did not speak up for Fu's mother, nor did he try to be a peacemaker, hoping to make a big deal out of a small matter and attribute the act of theft to an internal family conflict.
She was just giving correct guidance so that Mother Fu would hurry up and hand over all the things she had stolen.
Father Fu frowned, thinking that it had not been long since Mother Fu stole the things, so the things should not have been given away by Mother Fu.
Now, it should still be in time to ask Mother Fu to hand it over.
If this is true, and as the villagers guessed, and if Fu's mother really took the skirts to give to her niece from her mother's side, then we have no choice but to hurry and get those skirts back.
In this way, there is an explanation.
Originally, Fu's mother looked extremely panicked. After all, everyone in this courtyard was criticizing her, and many even denounced her and sided with Jiang Xin.
It was not until the moment when Father Fu came in that Mother Fu's heart finally settled down.
I feel a lot more at ease now.
After all, no matter what, although this old man always leans against her, he will still stand by her when the moment is necessary.
She just didn't believe that this time, when faced with such a situation, the old man would still be as confused as before and would side with her opponent.
There was anticipation in Mother Fu's eyes. She knew that in this family, Jiang Xin's attitude towards Father Fu was a hundred times better than when she treated herself.
If Father Fu could help her, and say a few nice words to the villagers and Jiang Xin, then perhaps there would be other opportunities.
She really didn't want to be taken to the police station at her age.
If you take it seriously, it would be a huge disgrace.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have coveted the clothes in Jiang Xin's closet. That way, there would have been a lot less trouble.
Because, Mother Fu was not stupid. She naturally knew that the turning point of this matter was whether Jiang Xin was willing to forgive her for what she had done.
If she forgives him, this matter can be directly turned into a family matter.
The charge of theft was immediately cleared from her.
In this way, there would be no loss, but she would have to leave some people behind.
Mother Fu looked at Father Fu and tried her best to wink at him, hoping that he could say a few words for her.
After all, in this family, Father Fu has always been the good guy.
In the previous times when she and Jiang Xin had quarreled and bickered, Fu's father always sided with Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin would probably remember such a favor.
Therefore, what Father Fu said might still have some weight in Jiang Xin's heart.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed in the end.
Sometimes things really weren't as good as she imagined.
Mr. Fu is under the expectant gaze of Mrs. Fu.
All I heard was her opening words, telling Fu's mother to hurry up and return the stolen things.
Fu's mother's heart broke instantly.
How come this is different from what she had imagined?
As for other things, they are possible, but returning the things is impossible.
Once something enters her mother's house, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. There is no way to get it out.
Besides, those new clothes are really beautiful. Whether in terms of style, tailoring or fabric, they are all top-notch.
When she took them to her mother's house, her nieces saw the new clothes and couldn't wait to divide up the skirts.
Not only that, they directly tore off the tags on them and tried them on themselves. They were all very happy. I guess they have all put them on by now.
If that's the case, how can I return it?
Mother Fu's face was pale. She stood there, hesitant, and her expression was very embarrassed.
Jiang Xin raised her eyebrows upon seeing this, thinking that this was almost the case, it was probably because the new clothes would never be returned.
Jiang Xin originally had no intention of making a big deal out of a small matter, otherwise why would she choose to call the police in the first place.
The purpose is to bring this matter to the surface instead of dealing with it casually in private.
If that happens, it will happen again and again. With Mother Fu's temper and personality, she won't learn her lesson unless she suffers a big loss.
As soon as Mr. Fu finished speaking, it was obvious that the backbone had arrived. In this family, the person who had the final say and was the head of the family was Mother Fu.
However, if it is true, when it comes to major events, she is really not as clear-headed as Father Fu.
At least now, the solution to the problem is right there.
If she takes the initiative to admit her mistake and returns the stolen clothes in a timely manner, she can still get a lighter sentence. If she refuses to return the clothes, she will probably end up in a terrible situation.
There shouldn't be any problem with being sentenced to two or three years.
After listening to what Father Fu said, everyone nodded, thinking that what he said was very reasonable.
So, all of them stood there, waiting for Fu's mother's answer.
After all, what Fu's mother's mortal enemy said just now was just her one-sided statement, just a guess.
No one knew where Fu's mother had sent the stolen clothes.
There is a 50% chance that it is at her parents' home, and there is also a 50% chance that she resold it. Both are possible.
So, all these big guys just sat there, waiting for Fu's mother's answer.
See if she really did, as her mortal enemy said, give the stolen clothes to help her niece from her mother's side.
If this is true, then Mrs. Fu is really confused.
Over there, after hearing what Fu's father said, Mrs. Fu fell into silence for a long time.
Everyone waited for a long time, but didn't hear Mother Fu say a word.
When everyone gradually lost their patience, the villagers began to urge:
"What are you hesitating about? Tell us where you hid the things and cooperate with the police."
"Look, it's already late. Everyone is waiting for something to happen. After they're done, they can go home and have dinner. If you dawdle for a while longer, it will probably be dark."
"That's it, don't stay here and waste everyone's time."
As Mother Fu kept urging her, her expression became increasingly ugly, because she simply didn't know how to respond.
In the end, those people became impatient, and Fu's mother had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"I gave the clothes to my nieces from my mother's family."
"They are already quite old. They are obviously the same age as Jiang Xin, but they have never worn a new piece of clothing since they were little."
"I'm about to reach the age of finding a partner. If I don't even have a nice piece of clothing, how can I hold up in the future? That's why I had this evil idea. Isn't it all for my niece's sake?"
"Can't you all understand me and put yourself in my shoes? You're forcing me, an old lady who's almost 60 years old, here. Aren't you upset?"
There is still some moral blackmail in what Fu's mother said.
Even at this moment, she didn't forget to act pitiful. She really thought that anyone who heard what she said would sympathize with her.
It's just ridiculous!
Jiang Xin has traveled to this era for so long, and has had countless quarrels with Fu's mother.
But, every time I was never as speechless as today.
Listening to what she said, I felt sorry for her niece, so she stole her clothes and gave them to her niece.
It's ridiculous, it's really outrageous.
"What does it have to do with me if your niece from your mother's side wears shabby clothes?"
"Don't say these miserable words to gain sympathy from others. It's totally useless!"
"Your niece and I are not related. Whether they are pitiful or not, to be honest, it has nothing to do with me. I only care about my clothes. Where did you send them?"
"Since it has been sent to your niece's house, you should hurry up and bring the clothes back to me. Otherwise, I have the right to hold you accountable."
At this moment, even though Mother Fu was caught with something, her attitude when speaking to Jiang Xin was still so impolite.
She seemed to think that she could win everyone's sympathy by simply playing the victim.
After all, Jiang Xin was the weaker party just now, and all the villagers spoke up for her.
Now, if she pretended to be pitiful and told the villagers about the miserable experiences of her nieces from her mother's side, the villagers would compare Jiang Xin with her nieces from her mother's side and would immediately think that Jiang Xin was too wasteful.
So, she insisted on one thing. Mother Fu was cursing over there. After she heard what Jiang Xin said, she directly said that she had no sympathy:
"How come you don't have any sympathy at all, little girl?"
"My nieces from my mother's side are all the same age as you. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, but you don't know what kind of hard life my nieces from my mother's side have to live."
"It's really your parents who raised you to be cunning and mean since you were a child. They actually made you so unsympathetic. You are simply a donkey's liver and lungs."
Mother Fu was over there, cursing all the time. Jiang Xin was totally confused when she heard her. She had no idea what was going on in Mother Fu's train of thought.
It was as if everything she said just now was nonsense.
She really didn't listen at all!
What's the difference between this and playing the lute to a cow?
Jiang Xin was extremely angry. She had said a lot of things for a long time, but the other party just ignored her.
The kind that won't listen at all and still insists on his own opinion.
Jiang Xin was still somewhat speechless. She did not indulge Mother Fu and directly retorted:
"You don't understand what I'm saying, or what? Aren't my words direct and obvious enough?"
"No matter how miserable your niece's life is, it has nothing to do with me. Instead of wasting time talking to me, why don't you talk to your brother and sister-in-law and ask them why they treat their daughter so badly!"
"No stranger would sympathize with your niece for no reason. To them, I am just an irrelevant stranger. Naturally, I would not be curious about their lives at all."
"I don't care how or with what mindset you had when you gave them my clothes, but please take my clothes back to me right now!"
"My parents spent a lot of money to buy me this skirt, and you just took it away as a favor for no reason."
As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, the villagers in the village all nodded, thinking that what she said made a lot of sense.
After all, every word she said was very clear and coherent, without any delay.
As long as you are a smart person, you will understand.
Jiang Xin now made only one thing clear, and that was to return her skirt to her immediately, otherwise she would hold Fu's mother accountable for the crime of burglary.
After all, she is not a sucker. Her parents spent so much money to buy her the skirt.
It was stolen without even the tag removed. Who wouldn’t be angry?
If she could get her skirt back, there might be some hope for this matter.
It all depends on how long Mother Fu can hold on.
At this time, after all, they were old neighbors who had lived together for many years. Seeing that Mother Fu looked like she was stuck in a dead end, the villagers could not help but persuade her:
"You, don't waste your time here. If you have the time, you might as well go to your mother's house and get those skirts back."
"In this way, we can still seek leniency."
After hearing these words, Fu's mother finally hesitated for a moment, as if she had thought about what the villagers said.
But deep down, she really knew too much about the character of the people in her family.
I'm afraid she also wants this skirt, but unfortunately she can't get it back at all, which is really a bit difficult.
