Wang Xiaolan and the captain's wife walked into the pharmaceutical factory, pushed open the door of the factory office, and saw Widow Li sitting there with her head hung down and a depressed look on her face.
Liu Pei and several other police officers interrogated her with serious expressions.
When they saw Wang Xiaolan walk in, the interrogation paused for a moment, and everyone looked at Wang Xiaolan with sharp eyes.
Wang Xiaolan said seriously, "Li's wife..."
She raised her head and faced her savior, feeling a surge of guilt in her heart.
Wang Xiaolan's face darkened and she glared at her. She felt that this glare was like a sharp knife piercing into her heart, making her shudder.
"Mrs. Li, you look pretty good lately!" Wang Xiaolan asked coldly.
She knew that although what Wang Xiaolan said sounded like a simple sentence, it had another meaning, which made her feel guilty and she had to lower her head.
Wang Xiaolan looked at her, dressed in a neither-country nor-Western style, and felt like vomiting. She was already furious, and she sneered.
"Daughter-in-law of the Li family, I haven't seen you for a few days. You've really changed a lot. You've got a perm and are up to date with the latest fashion trends. You've become a real city dweller. That hairstyle must cost a lot of money! I'm afraid the salary at the factory won't be enough for a perm! It seems you've made a fortune."
When Widow Li heard this, she felt so uncomfortable that she trembled and slid off the stool.
"Doctor Wang, I'm sorry, I..."
"You can save that for later! Now tell the Public Security comrades what you did!"
Widow Li stammered, "I, I..."
Liu Pei said seriously, "We already know about some of the illegal activities you and Shi Huaishui have committed. Now it depends on whether you tell the truth or not. You'd better confess frankly and strive for leniency."
She sat there, silent, thinking back to what Shi Huaishui had said to her. "If the police come looking for you, just keep silent. If you don't say anything and can't find any evidence, they won't be able to do anything to you and will naturally let you go. After I take over this factory, I'll pay you a hundred yuan a month."
This one hundred yuan was equivalent to three months' salary for a city worker, and it was a huge sum of money for her. She could then walk freely in the Li family. It was too tempting. No matter what, she had to get through this.
Seeing Widow Li was silent, Liu Pei said, "You don't want to talk, right?"
As he spoke, he picked up a document from the table, walked up to her, and said, "With the evidence we currently have, it's enough to put you in jail."
When she heard that she was going to jail, she was so scared that she trembled all over and almost wet her pants.
After all, she is just a rural woman. Not to mention going to jail, even spending a day at the police station would scare her half to death.
Her originally determined heart began to waver, and she slowly began to tell the story.
…
Ever since Dr. Wang arranged for me to work at the pharmaceutical factory, I no longer had any contact with the team leader. Now that I had a job, my family life had improved.
Her mother-in-law no longer scolded her like she used to, and she took the initiative to take care of all the housework at home, and she lived a very comfortable life.
Just two months ago, he suddenly came to my house and told me that he had a way to make money and asked if I wanted to try it. When I heard that there was a way to make money, I asked him what it was. He didn't answer me immediately. Instead, he took out fifty yuan from his pocket and put it in my hand.
When I saw so much money, I was very happy. I asked him what he was doing. He said, "This is just a deposit. I will give you 100 for every successful deal you make." I received the money before I even started working. I felt that the money came so quickly and was very excited.
Ever since Huang Jinhua and Xiao Hua were sentenced, Shi Huaishui felt like a kite with a broken string, unable to return to his former glory and was very depressed.
However, he received another notice from the commune, which cancelled his positions as village security director and concurrent secretary, leaving him with only the position of team leader.
The girls and wives in the village would avoid him when they saw him.
After Widow Li entered the factory, he tried to find her several times, but she always avoided him with various excuses.
It proves the saying that when a person is down on his luck, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache. There are six people in my family. One son and one daughter are in prison. The other two children and their wife have moved out of the house, leaving me completely alone.
He blamed all these "experiences" on Wang Xiaolan, so he wanted to take revenge on Wang Xiaolan and came up with a plan to frame her.
This plan could not be accomplished by him alone.
Widow Li, who had been quiet for half a year, saw the team leader coming to her house and often showing her courtesy, either giving her rice or a pound or two of meat. She could not stand his persistence, and the two of them got together again.
Widow Li was screening medicinal herbs in the factory's medicinal herb rough processing workshop. She secretly mixed the fake herbs brought by Captain Shi into the medicinal herbs, and then took out the real herbs to resell.
Later, he instructed Widow Li to steal the finished medicine. Widow Li successfully stole the medicine when it was being taken out of the warehouse and loaded into the car. She then poured out half of the medicine and added some other medicine into it.
Widow Li narrated the incident here.
He asked, "If I confess, will I still go to jail?"
Liu Pei said, "What you have done has violated the law. Imprisonment is inevitable. However, if you can explain what happened, we will use our discretion in sentencing."
…
Liu Pei said, "Granny Gong, since you can confess, we will give you a chance to redeem yourself from your crime. As long as you cooperate, we will not pursue criminal responsibility."
