Seeing that everyone's words were getting more and more outrageous, Aunt Wang's face turned completely dark.
"Stop talking nonsense here, when did I ever speak up for that thief?
It is still unclear whether that person is a thief or not.
Don't tell me this is a lie someone made up to get rid of suspicion."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Cao Changzheng and Aunt Shen Si with a hint of meaning.
Lin Ran chuckled when she heard that.
"I'm sure everyone has seen this cloth bag. It was handed in by that person before he left.
If he wasn't a thief, do you think he would have been beaten and kept quiet?
If he wasn't a thief, do you think he would give us his money?
If it were you, would you do it?"
He asked three questions in a row, stumping everyone present.
Yes, they were just wondering why the young man didn’t dare to seek justice for himself after being beaten like this by the Cao family.
It turned out to be a thief, so he didn't dare.
As long as he reports to the police, he will definitely be arrested.
I didn't dare not pay back the money because I would be caught and not paying it back would be a more serious crime.
And given the situation just now, he had no choice but to return it.
The only pity is that the thief got away.
From now on, every household will be in danger.
The culprit who caused this consequence is naturally Aunt Wang.
Thinking of this, everyone began a new round of condemnation against Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang was so anxious that she no longer had the time to focus on the Cao family's beating.
She also felt a little guilty and regretful. If she had known that the man was a thief, she would not have jumped out.
After all, my family lives in a staff housing complex, so naturally we don't want to be targeted by thieves.
Now, not only did he let the thief escape, but he also aroused public anger.
How will the Wang family survive in the staff housing compound in the future?
If my son comes back and knows about this, he won’t send me back to the countryside, right?
For a moment, Aunt Wang was really at a loss for words.
…
While those people were making a fuss with Aunt Wang and no one was paying attention to them, Lin Ran and his group finally returned to the Cao family safely.
As soon as he got home, Cao Changzheng poured out all the money in the cloth bag and counted it.
Fourth Aunt Shen also immediately went to check where her family hid the money.
Finally, Cao Changzheng counted the seven hundred yuan in his hand, and Aunt Shen also staggered out with the remaining dozens of yuan and a few food coupons.
Neither of them said anything, their hearts just chilled.
This is their daughter whom they have pampered like a treasure for more than ten years.
For a scumbag who had hurt her, she actually wanted to empty out all their family assets.
Where's her brain?
Was it bitten by a pig?
At this time, Cao Baozhu finally realized the seriousness of the matter and finally panicked.
She would rather her parents beat her or scold her like they used to, rather than remain silent like they did now.
It felt like her parents had completely given up on her.
This realization frightened Cao Baozhu so much that her legs suddenly went limp and she fell to her knees.
Tears fell like rain.
"Wow……
Mom and Dad, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Can you please stop ignoring me?
It was Brother Wu, no, it was Wu Wenjie who lied to me and said he would find someone to help transfer me to work in our commune, so that he could get your approval and marry me openly.
I was actually skeptical at first, but when I saw that he really went to find someone for help, I was fooled.
I thought that I was in this situation now, and no one wanted me except Wu Wenjie.
So I relented and agreed to help.”
Seeing Cao Baozhu like this, Fourth Aunt Shen felt heartbroken.
But thinking of the mistakes Cao Baozhu had made again and again, she hardened her heart again and spoke with tears in her eyes.
"You are truly my good daughter!
When you stole the money, you still remembered to leave a few dozen yuan for me and your dad for food. What? Are you afraid that we will starve to death?
Wouldn't it be better if we starved to death?
That way no one will stop you from being with that scumbag.
I want to see what kind of good life you can have with him!"
These words made Cao Baozhu's face turn pale. This was the first time in her life that Fourth Aunt Shen said such harsh words to her.
Cao Baozhu couldn't accept it, she crawled to Fourth Aunt Shen's feet, hugged her thighs and cried loudly:
"I was only going to give him 500 yuan originally, thinking that this 500 yuan was his compensation to me, so I just took it.
But I couldn't help but hear that five hundred might not be enough, so I should take more with me just in case, and return it to me if there was any left.
Anyway, he will give all the salary he earns from work to me for safekeeping.
Then I suddenly believed it.
Wow wow wow…
Mom, I really know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time?
This is the last time, I will never do it again."
Fourth Aunt Shen subconsciously wanted to help her, but after she realized what was happening, she turned her head away and pretended not to see it.
Seeing that Fourth Aunt Shen ignored her, Cao Baozhu knelt and crawled to Cao Changzheng's feet.
"Dad, please don't be mad at me, okay?
I will definitely change in the future, listen to you, and never associate with Wu Wenjie again.
I really know I was wrong, wow wow..."
Cao Baozhu cried so sadly.
Lin Ran believed that her regret at the moment was sincere, but with such a pig brain, it was unknown whether she would suddenly have a seizure in the future.
Cao Changzheng is a man after all, and his heart is harder than Aunt Shen Si's. Even though Cao Baozhu was crying miserably at this moment, he ignored her and kicked Cao Baozhu away and walked to Shen Wenfang and others to express his sincere gratitude:
"Third sister, Ranran, and Old Three, this time it's all thanks to you.
