"You're the one picking up vegetable scraps! Your whole family picks up vegetable scraps!" These were the words Jia Zhangshi least wanted to hear right now.
If I admit to it, not only will I have to return the purse, but I'll also be laughed at by my second aunt.
"You, you're so unreasonable!"
This was the first time Lao Zhong had ever encountered such an overbearing person.
"You're being unreasonable, your whole family is being unreasonable!" Madam Jia retorted without a second thought.
Even though she picked up someone else's wallet.
But where is the evidence?
You have no evidence, so what are you talking about!
That's why Jia Zhangshi dared to be so arrogant, even daring to curse the owner of the lost property.
Xu Damao, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, seemed to have thought of something and jumped out to pat Lao Zhong on the shoulder.
"Um, when did you lose your wallet?"
Old Zhong glanced at Xu Damao, seeing that the other man didn't look like a good person, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It was only about half an hour ago."
"It matches up!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao grinned and asked with a smile, "Can you smell anything?"
fragrance?
Old Zhong sniffed and replied uncertainly, "It smells like stewed meat."
"That's right, it tastes just like stewed meat!"
Xu Damao pointed and said, "Everyone living in our compound knows that the Jia family is dirt poor right now. Their little brat has been clamoring for meat for days on end, but the Jia family doesn't have any spare money to buy meat."
"But isn't it a coincidence? Just now, Madam Jia went out for a while and came back carrying a big piece of meat. She told everyone she met that her family was having braised pork tonight."
"Xu Damao, stop meddling in other people's business!" Jia Zhangshi spat at Xu Damao fiercely: "I can buy meat whenever I want, it's none of your business!"
"Then why didn't you buy it before? Why did you have to buy it now? If you ask me, you just picked up someone else's money bag and used someone else's money to buy meat!" Xu Damao said with great certainty.
If Jia Zhangshi had any spare money, she would have cooked meat for Banggeng long ago.
After saying that, Xu Damao looked Jia Zhangshi's pockets up and down again, but did not see any bulging.
But there was an unusually large extra section protruding from the crotch area.
This amused Xu Damao.
"Damn it, Jia Zhangshi, when did you develop such class?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look towards Madam Jia.
Wow!
That's really true!
Being surrounded by so many people was too much for even the thick-skinned Jia Zhangshi to bear.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll report you to the authorities and accuse you of indecent assault!"
And you know what? That actually worked. Everyone in the courtyard looked away.
But Old Zhong, who lost his money bag, wasn't afraid of that.
This bizarre protrusion is too illogical; it's most likely his lost money bag.
That woman is disgusting!
He actually hid his money bag there.
"You still won't admit it now?" Old Zhong angrily rebuked Jia Zhangshi.
Although Jia Zhangshi was a little flustered, she still tried to remain calm: "Admit what? I didn't pick it up, that's all. Do you think we are an easy target for a widow and her orphan? Believe me or not, I'll call Dongxu to deal with you."
Although Lao Zhong didn't know who Dongxu was, he could still tell that there was a threat in his words.
Okay, okay!
Not only did they pick up my purse and not return it, but they also tried to call in people to deal with me.
This is outrageous!
"No, I'll go to the yamen right now and report you to the authorities, let the police deal with you!"
After saying that, Old Zhong solemnly said to Xu Damao, "Young man, could you keep an eye on her for me? I'm afraid she'll try to transfer the money."
"Don't worry, I've got your back!"
Xu Damao thumped his chest loudly, urging Lao Zhong to hurry up and report to the authorities.
Seeing this, Old Zhong said nothing more and ran off to report to the authorities.
Seeing him so resolutely go to call for help, Jia Zhangshi became even more panicked.
If we really attract the attention of the police, things might not be easy to resolve.
Therefore, you absolutely must not admit it. As long as you don't confess, no one can be sure that she picked up someone else's money bag.
If she were to admit even one thing, she would have to pay money today.
“Mrs. Jia, if you really picked up someone else’s things, you should return them to him quickly. That money is the living expenses of someone’s family of four,” Uncle Yan Bugui advised kindly.
It's clear that the middle-aged man was an honest person.
Honest people are good-tempered, but that doesn't mean they have no temper. If you really push them too far, they're capable of anything.
Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and said, "Mrs. Jia, if you lost money, wouldn't you be anxious?"
"I didn't pick it up! You're all ganging up on us orphans and widows!"
Seeing so many people targeting her, Jia Zhangshi habitually used her skills, putting on a mournful performance to complain to Old Jia and Jia Dongxu, asking them to come back and take away all those who were bullying the Jia family.
Others might be wary of these things, but Xu Damao isn't afraid of them at all.
He dared to overturn the other person's wheelchair even when Jia Dongxu was still alive, so he wasn't afraid even if he came back.
"Who bullied you? If you're so capable, explain yourself why you're so classy!"
"Xu Damao, are you out of your mind? Why do you have to meddle in everything!"
Jia Zhangshi was speechless.
Why is Xu Damao so annoying? He's always targeting their family.
"There's nothing I can do. I'm just too kind-hearted and can't stand seeing people do bad things." Xu Damao, who was scolded, was not angry at all. Instead, he smugly smoothed his hair.
This scene almost made Jia Zhangshi explode with anger.
"Comrade, this is Jia Zhangshi, she picked up my purse and won't return it!"
Soon, Old Zhong arrived at the courtyard house with a policeman.
Upon seeing Jia Zhangshi making a scene, the policeman who had arrived couldn't help but frown.
It's her again!
The last time there was a tire-related incident, it was this police officer who handled it, so he had a particularly strong impression of Jia Zhangshi.
“Mrs. Jia, if you’ve picked up someone else’s money, hurry up and return it to them, or you’ll have to come with us to the yamen to make a statement.”
"Why should I go?" Jia Zhangshi shouted.
"Hey, you didn't get enough of your time in the labor camp last time, did you?"
Labor camp?
Jia Zhangshi's heart tightened, and then she began to sized up the policeman.
hiss.......
It does look somewhat familiar.
But so what if they look familiar? Without evidence, it's all for nothing no matter who comes.
“Comrade, after my last labor reform, I have clearly realized my mistake and promised not to repeat it. This time, he really wronged me!”
"He said I picked up his wallet, and I said he stole my old lady's underwear! Comrade, you must arrest this filthy scoundrel!"
Underpants?
Upon hearing this, the police officer's face twitched violently.
"Comrade, she's probably hiding my purse in her crotch." Old Zhong quickly spoke up, fearing that the police would be misled by Jia Zhangshi.
"Pah, you filthy scoundrel!"
Jia Zhangshi spat out a mouthful of phlegm.
