The next moment, two police officers from the police station walked in.
Old Lady Wang's eyes widened as she quickly explained, "We didn't do anything!"
Zhao Yang was also frightened when he saw his uncle wearing a police uniform, and hid behind Old Lady Wang: "It was my grandmother who asked me to do it."
After seeing this, the two policemen questioned Old Man Zhang, Old Lady Zhang, Ma Xiu Lan, and Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao in the next room one by one.
Aunt Zhao said that she had been peeking and indeed saw Old Lady Wang rummaging through the drawers and cabinets, and that Zhao Yang had stolen the money and refused to admit it.
The reason why he didn't show up was because of his relationship with Old Lady Wang.
In fact, it was not the case. She wanted to use the old lady Wang's handle to ask her for money. The old lady Wang had not visited her for twenty years, and suddenly came to visit with wounds all over her face. This was too unreasonable. She must have had ulterior motives.
She thought that Old Lady Wang came to borrow money, but she didn't expect that her eyes were fixed on what was happening next door.
I saw the old lady next door yelling, "You old man, you forgot to bring toilet paper again," and then she closed the door and walked out.
Old Lady Wang quickly sent Zhao Yang away, and then started talking to herself about all sorts of things to attract her attention.
He simply used the excuse of locking the door and going to the toilet to drive Old Lady Wang out, but in fact he had been hiding in the dark and watching her.
Now that Old Lady Wang has failed, she must tell the truth to the police, so that they won’t find out that she is lying and it will affect her grandson’s college entrance examination. If her grandson can be admitted, their family will have a better future.
Comrade Su and Comrade Li, who came out to handle the case today, saw that the matter was clear, so they said to Old Lady Wang:
"You and your great-grandson stole from someone else's house. The facts are clear and straightforward. Come back to the police station with me."
Old Lady Wang's face turned pale. "You're mistaken. This is my great-grandson's grandmother's home. My great-grandson stole his grandmother's money and returned it. This is our family's business."
Ma Xiulan looked at Old Lady Wang, who was finally frightened, and said word by word:
"You and I are not from the same family. Besides, I don't live in No. 138. I rented it to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang a long time ago."
Old Man Zhang: "I've told her eight hundred times that this house is where we, the old couple, live now, but she refuses to believe it."
Old Lady Wang still didn't believe it and shouted, "You are just colluding to deceive me. These guys are all Ma Xiulan's."
Ma Xiulan spread her hands and said, "These rags I brought from the Zhao family made me upset. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang didn't mind, so I gave them to them."
Old Mrs. Wang didn't expect that Ma Xiu Lan would rather give away these old tables, old chairs, tattered tablecloths and so on instead of leaving them for them to use. Didn't she know that if she took them all away, the family would have nothing to use and would have to rely on robbing Youfu's family?
But at this moment, she didn't want to believe that she and Zhao Yang had robbed someone else's house, so she bit her lip:
"That was just a trick you put on me."
Seeing that she was trying to cover up her mistake, Ma Xiulan said directly, "Then ask the other neighbors. Even Aunt Zhao knows."
Aunt Zhao looked gloating:
"Third sister-in-law, your ex-daughter-in-law never lived in this house for a single day. It was this old couple who moved in a few days ago."
Old Lady Wang was furious: "Then why didn't you tell me just now? I asked you about it. Did you do it on purpose? Did you mislead me?"
Seeing that Old Lady Wang had finally figured it all out, Second Aunt Zhao leaned over to Old Lady Wang's ear with a smile and said, "We have a bad relationship, and you still believe what I say. How stupid are you?"
Her relationship with Old Lady Wang, her sister-in-law, is as hostile as fire and water.
Comrade Su and Comrade Li took everyone back to the police station and notified people to go to the factory to call Zhao Youcai and Zhao Xingjia over.
Old Mrs. Wang was old and she looked through things but didn't take anything. Zhao Yang was 5 years old and he broke into the house and stole 100 yuan. He was under 14 years old and was not responsible, but his guardian needed to bear civil liability and disciplinary responsibility.
Mrs. Wang’s behavior also needs to be reported to her family, and she should be properly educated in the future.
Zhao Youcai and Zhao Xingjia were at work when they were visited by comrades from the police station. The other comrades were curious and gathered together whispering. The leader also asked them to come back from the police station to look for them.
The two of them were thinking all the way back to the factory about how to explain to their boss and how to deal with their colleagues, and they arrived at the police station in pain.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ma Xiu Lan, Zhao Xingguo and an old couple sitting on one side, and Old Lady Wang and Zhao Yang sitting on the other side.
Comrade Li, who was in charge of the case, briefed Zhao Youcai and Zhao Xingjia on the situation.
The two heard that it was Zhao Xingguo who called the police, and Ma Xiu Lan was still standing on the side of the old couple.
I'm so angry.
But Zhao Youcai didn't dare to confront Ma Xiu Lan. He had originally wanted to find Ma Xiu Lan to settle the score for letting his eldest son become a live-in son-in-law, but he became timid halfway. It was really because Ma Xiu Lan was so good at using a rolling pin before the divorce that it left a shadow on him.
But this did not affect his education of Zhao Xingguo:
"Are you still a man of the Zhao family? Not only do you not feel ashamed to be a live-in son-in-law, but you also called the police to arrest your grandmother and nephew. It's really unlucky to have a son like you."
Zhao Xingguo smiled brightly. "Uncle Zhao, don't you want me? What's your business whether I become a live-in son-in-law? And blood ties can't outweigh justice. Are you teaching me to disregard justice and only care about protecting my blood relatives?"
The word "Uncle Zhao" made Zhao Youcai very angry.
Before he could say anything, Comrade Su came over:
"Comrade Zhao Xingguo is right. It's wrong for you to blindly cover up your family's bad habits. You and Zhao Xingjia should come here every day these days to study and improve your thinking. Old Lady Wang and Zhao Yang, one old and one young, rely entirely on your family's discipline and education."
The time for ideological education in the future has been agreed upon, and now the compensation matters need to be finalized.
The 100 yuan has been returned to the original owner, and now it’s the damaged things in the house. Old man Zhang and old lady Zhang discussed it and decided to pay a total of 30 yuan.
When Old Lady Wang heard this, she immediately shouted:
"It's not worth that much money at all. Except for the door lock, many of the other things in the house were given to these two old guys by Ma Xiulan for free. They didn't spend any money on them, so why are they asking us to pay 30 yuan?"
Old man Zhang pointed at himself:
"Your child hits and kicks me. Shouldn't I go to the hospital? Forget the 30 yuan. Just wait until I finish my hospital stay. Then you can pay for the medical expenses and daily meals, and provide someone to take care of me."
When Zhao Youcai heard this, he thought that if the old man had to stay in the hospital all the time, it might not be something that could be solved with just 30 yuan.
He poked Zhao Xingjia and said, "Zhao Yang is responsible for this trouble, and you, as his father, have to pay for it."
Zhao Xingjia was unwilling to do so. He only had more than 30 yuan on him, and Zhao Yang got into trouble because of his grandmother. It must have been his grandmother who taught him to do so. His father should pay for it.
