Caught off guard, Old Zhong was spat in the face.
"Comrade! Aren't you going to take care of this?"
Old Zhong was both angry and anxious. He hadn't gotten his money back and had been spat on in the face.
This is intolerable!
The police officer glanced at the money bag with a somewhat troubled expression.
Something definitely doesn't look right there.
But he can't just start searching.
After thinking for a moment, the policeman waved to Jia Zhangshi: "Let's go, you two come with me to the yamen."
Although I can't conduct a direct search, I have female colleagues in the government office.
Once you go to the government office, the truth will come out.
"Why should I go to the yamen? I didn't even find his purse! Why should I get to eat braised pork?"
When Jia Zhangshi heard that she was to go to the yamen, she immediately panicked.
Jia Zhangshi knew better than anyone else what was going on inside; once you stepped through that door, no lie could be kept secret.
"If you don't go, you're just feeling guilty!"
Old Zhong didn't care whether Jia Zhangshi was willing or not; he stepped forward, grabbed Jia Zhangshi, and tried to pull her out.
Although Jia Zhangshi was large and thick-waisted, she was still much weaker than Lao Zhong and was dragged several meters away.
"Let go, let go now!"
"Otherwise, I'll sue you for indecent assault!"
"Old Jia, Dongxu, come back quickly! Someone's being indecent!"
While rapping, Jia Zhangshi habitually danced randomly.
As I was jumping, I suddenly felt something slide down my trouser leg. Looking closer, I realized it was my money bag that had jumped out.
"This is the money bag I lost!"
Old Zhong also saw the money bag at this moment, and after exclaiming in surprise, he ignored Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi was shocked and rushed over to pick it up, but she was still a step too slow for Lao Zhong.
"Officer, this is the money bag I lost. My wife and coworkers can all testify to this!" Old Zhong clutched the money bag tightly in his hand, afraid that the menacing Jia Zhangshi would snatch it back.
"I found it with my own abilities, why should I give it back to you!" Jia Zhangshi was furious that the money she had just received was gone.
She had already planned how much meat she would buy with the money and how long she could live lavishly.
"You're shameless!"
Old Zhong pointed at Jia Zhangshi's nose and started cursing: "I earned this money bit by bit, and you're saying you picked it up by skill? What skill do you need to pick up money!"
"Jia Zhangshi, stop making trouble!"
The police officer gave him a reprimand, then said to Lao Zhong, "Check it and see if any money is missing."
The matter is now considered resolved, and the police have no intention of pursuing Jia Zhangshi's responsibility. As long as the money is still there, they can leave.
Old Zhong responded and opened the money bag, taking out all the money inside and counting it one bill at a time.
As Jia Zhangshi watched the old clock counting so carefully, her expression grew increasingly grim.
Seeing this, Xu Damao clicked his tongue and said, "Hey, this stewed meat smells really good."
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi glared angrily at Xu Damao, but before she could utter a curse, she heard Old Zhong's exclamation.
"I'm short three yuan and twenty cents here!"
"Comrade, it must be Jia Zhangshi who took my money to buy meat, she has to pay me back!"
Upon seeing this, the police immediately looked at Jia Zhangshi.
"Do you have anything to explain?"
“I…no,” Jia Zhangshi said, her head drooping.
Xu Damao's shout just now served as a wake-up call for everyone present.
Even if you stubbornly deny it, the police only need to ask the butcher to find out the truth, so there is no need to lie.
"Then give the three yuan and twenty cents back to them."
"No!"
Now that things have come to this, Jia Zhangshi is at her wit's end and can only shake her head: "It's because we have no money at home that I went to the vegetable market to pick up vegetable leaves. He didn't keep an eye on his money bag and that's how I picked it up."
“If he had kept a close eye on his money, how could I have used it to buy meat? So it’s not my fault, and he shouldn’t ask me for the money back.”
Jia Zhangshi felt that she was the victim, that the money she had just gotten was gone, and that anyone would be unhappy in her situation.
"He has quite a few fallacies."
The police wouldn't be swayed by Jia Zhangshi's nonsense: "Either pay back the money, or let him take the meat away. You choose."
Old Zhong had no objection to this.
It's already a miracle that we got the purse back today. If we really can't get the remaining three yuan and twenty cents back, we can take the meat instead, as a way to improve the lives of our wife and children.
"snort!"
Jia Zhangshi didn't want to choose any of them.
Why should I return money I found through my own skill? It's simply outrageous.
have to!
Seeing Jia Zhangshi's attitude, the police didn't tolerate it anymore and waved their hand, saying, "Since you're not going to choose anything, then come with me. When we get to the yamen, we'll fine you and then use that money to offset his debt."
What is that?
A fine?
Qin Huairu was unhappy about this.
"Comrade, I am Jia Zhangshi's daughter-in-law. Our family is indeed in financial difficulty right now and we can't afford the money. You can take the meat away and bring the pot back later."
For Qin Huairu, missing out on a meal of meat was no big deal, but being fined would be a death sentence.
"You traitor!"
Madam Jia spat angrily at Qin Huairu, then left without looking back.
Today's incident not only cost her money, but also made her lose face.
Especially regarding the vegetable leaves, she had just been boasting that she never picked up vegetable leaves, but reality gave her a harsh slap in the face.
I'm too ashamed to stay here!
Qin Huairu, who had been scolded, did not retaliate. Instead, she called for Lao Zhong to go back inside and get some meat.
After a long and apologetic speech, Qin Huairu finally saw Lao Zhong and the police off, leaving Bang Geng crying his eyes out.
"Meat, my meat!"
"You're a bad guy, you're a bad guy!"
Um?
Yang Taihe was somewhat bewildered when he returned from Quanjude with the money.
How come the courtyard has become such a mess so soon after I left?
What meat? What bad guy? What exactly happened?
But Yang Taihe had no time to be curious about anything else. Instead, he quickly walked up to Chen Jun, a bystander, and said with a smile, "Master Chen, I've brought the money and the contract. If there are no problems, let's sign them."
As he spoke, Yang Taihe beckoned to the shop assistant behind him. The shop assistant understood and stepped forward to pull out a thick stack of small bills, all of which were ten-yuan notes.
hiss.......
Upon seeing such a thick stack of money, everyone else present couldn't help but gasp.
This is... way too thick!
It's at least several hundred yuan.
"Okay, let's go inside."
Chen Jun nodded indifferently, seemingly not even glancing at the money.
What a genius!
Yang Taihe thought to himself that Chen Jun seemed too calm compared to the others present.
They were so calm; they didn't seem like young people.
This is eight hundred yuan! Even if I saw it myself, I would be quite tempted, but Chen Jun didn't react at all.
