public security bureau.
Lin Peng is currently being interrogated.
“Officer, I admit that I did knock on the door of the Song family’s old house and took several sacks of things. I didn’t take anything else.”
Song Daqiang also dared not admit that a large amount of treasure had been stolen from the underground secret room.
After all, in those days, it was illegal to hoard small yellow croakers.
So Lin Peng insisted that he only took things from the living room and a few bedrooms.
“We have checked your stolen goods. Those sacks of stolen goods are worth less than 2,000 yuan.”
"What, only 2000 yuan?"
Lin Peng was dumbfounded. So he had gotten himself arrested for just two thousand yuan?
"The only valuable things are some clothes, pots and pans; the antique vases are all fake."
Upon hearing this, Lin Peng's face turned ashen.
Realizing he had been tricked by Song Xue, he was furious and embarrassed.
"Officer, I have two things to report. I have an accomplice, Song Xue. She went to the Song family's old house with me."
The police officers aren't stupid.
Song Xue didn't come early or late, but she just happened to arrive right after Lin Peng had packed several sacks of things.
All of this is just too much of a coincidence!
...
According to custom, the groom and bride are not allowed to meet on the night before the wedding.
It was already 11 p.m., but the entire Song family home was still brightly lit, with people busy running around.
Meanwhile, the Huo family was also quite busy.
Li Yun, along with her relatives and friends, was busy cleaning and putting up "double happiness" characters on doors, windows, and inside and outside the house.
Huo Zhengang and a group of male relatives and friends checked the bicycles to be used for tomorrow's wedding procession one by one.
He borrowed twenty old-fashioned bicycles from relatives and friends and assembled a wedding procession.
Using bicycles for wedding processions was quite fashionable in that era.
You know, in many rural areas, people use a cart to carry wedding processions.
Huo Beian, however, has not yet returned from his mission.
But before leaving, Huo Beian told Huo Zhengang that he would definitely come back first thing the next morning.
Hopefully, this kid will come back safely and not miss the auspicious time.
the next day.
The auspicious time is approaching, and the bride's relatives and friends are waiting at the door.
The groom was nowhere to be seen coming to fetch the bride.
At this moment, many neighbors were talking about it at the door, "It's almost the auspicious time, why hasn't the groom returned yet?"
"I hope the groom won't call off the wedding."
"Exactly. After all, the groom is a military officer; how could he possibly marry a capitalist's daughter?"
...
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Song Xue curled her lips into a smile.
This is truly a stroke of luck!
The groom didn't even show up.
If I think about it, the people from the Youth Office should be arriving soon.
Just then, the sound of police sirens came from outside, and the police car stopped at the entrance of the Song family's courtyard.
Song Xue curled her lips into a smile, thinking to herself, "It seems that it was someone from the educated youth office who, after receiving the notice, reported it to the Public Security Bureau, and now the police have come to arrest Song Ning."
Hmph.
Song Ning, I'll let you get married, let's see how you manage to get married now.
Let's settle this at the police station!
Immediately, people from the surrounding area gathered around to watch the spectacle.
The police officer came out, looked at the crowd, and asked, "Who is Song Xue?"
Song Xue was momentarily stunned. She had written an anonymous letter.
Did the police find out that she was the one who reported it?
That shouldn't be the case.
But she still stepped forward. "Hello, officer, I'm Song Xue. What can I do for you?"
"You are suspected of conspiring with others to break into the Song family's old house and steal valuables. Please come with us for investigation."
"What? The police notified you, are they mistaken?"
Before Song Xue could explain, she was already being escorted to the car.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuzhi quickly ran out, crying, "Officer, I'm innocent!"
“Lin Peng has already confessed. Song Xue went with him, and there are eyewitnesses.”
"What?"
Lin Xiuzhi was furious that her good brother would betray her daughter like this.
Watching the police arrest Song Xue and leave, Lin Xiuzhi was heartbroken and could only go back to beg Song Daqiang.
"Old Song, Song Xue has been taken away. Please help her. Song Xue is innocent."
"Innocent? Heh, you should ask your daughter if she's really innocent. I saw it with my own eyes; she was in the basement with Lin Peng. What else could she be but an accomplice?"
Song Daqiang didn't want to get involved in this mess. Firstly, it would cost a lot of money to bail out Song Xue, which wasn't worth it for a stepdaughter.
Furthermore, things are tense right now. If someone finds out he's hoarding small yellow croakers, he'll be in deep trouble.
"Old Song, are you really that heartless?"
"Song Xue brought this upon herself. I can't help her."
Song Daqiang's ruthlessness left Lin Xiuzhi heartbroken.
Now, both Lin Peng and Song Xue have been arrested.
How is she supposed to live her life after this?
Moreover, if Song Xue is indeed found guilty, she will probably be fired from her job at the textile factory...
What should we do?
You bastard Song Daqiang, since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too...
The onlookers, seeing Song Xue being taken away, immediately began to discuss the matter.
"You really can't believe Song Xue, she actually stole things..."
"A stepdaughter, trying to steal the Song family's ancestral property."
"How shameless..."
Song Ning remained inside, dressed in mixed-style clothing and wearing a red hood, only hearing the chatter outside and unaware of what was happening.
She didn't know that Song Xue had been arrested until someone ran in and told her.
Haha, Song Xue, this is what they call reaping what you sow.
