The four members of the Su family were led to a house, and Su Wenxing was also brought to the same house. As soon as Su Wenxing saw them, he started to cry, and Zhao Xiaohua and Old Lady Su also started to cry.
"Alright, stop crying, it's time." Old Su spoke, and the three who had been crying so hard they were practically hugging each other stopped. "Wenxing, what happened to you? How did you get arrested?"
Grandpa, it was Xiao Xue's father, Xiao Dingyu, who reported me. He accused me of cheating people out of money and marriage, which is why I was arrested.
Why did he report you like that? What have you been doing that we don't know about? You'd better tell us the truth.
I... I took credit for someone else's work in saving Xiao Xue. I accepted the gifts and red envelopes that Xiao Xue's parents gave me as a token of their gratitude. I deliberately acted all innocent and obedient in front of Xiao Xue's parents, hoping they would marry Xiao Xue to me.
Grandpa, I acted impulsively and did those things. I... I didn't expect to be found out. I don't want to go to jail; jail will ruin my life.
Wenxing, are you being foolish? How could you be so careless and let people catch you red-handed? We can't afford to offend the Xiao family. Last night they came to our house to break off the engagement, but you insisted on stopping them.
Do you remember what Xiao Xue's father said before he left? He said, "I hope you can bear it." Well, the very next day you were arrested and taken to the police station.
Yesterday at noon, two policemen came to our door. First, they told us that we had been arrested. Second, they returned the engagement gifts and 100 yuan in cash to our family.
The marriage has already been called off, and we have no choice but to. Think about it, we're just country bumpkins, while the Xiao family is in town. The workshop director of the textile factory is a minor official, and we can't afford to offend them.
Grandpa, I understand. I have to back down, I absolutely have to. If I don't, Xiao Dingyu won't let me off the hook. All those policemen are on his side.
We understand the situation now. We'll go ask the police officer later how you plan to handle this.
When the time came, Su Wenxing followed me. The police officer came in and took him away, shouting, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, you have to save me! Get me out of here quickly!"
Let's go ask Wenxing how this was handled. After waiting a long time, the officer in charge of Su Wenxing's case finally arrived. "Officer, how was my Wenxing's case handled?"
In this situation, only Old Man Su remained calm. Old Man Su, that good-for-nothing, would turn weak in the knees at the sight of the police, and the two women dared not approach the police.
The verdict on Su Wenxing's case is out. Because Su Wenxing didn't swindle a large amount of money, and because he deceived the woman about the engagement, and because the woman hadn't yet married Su Wenxing, he will not be sentenced.
However, this matter had a negative impact. Su Wenxing had still falsely claimed credit for military achievements, so he needed to be sent to a farm for six months for reformation. He also had to return the thank-you gift he had received from Director Xiao.
Director Xiao said he didn't want the gifts anymore, just the cash. In addition, Su Wenxing took the thank-you red envelope, so you need to return 150 yuan.
If the debt isn't repaid, Su Wenxing will continue his rehabilitation at the farm until all the debts are repaid. Go back and prepare some necessities for him, bring them to the police station tomorrow, and he'll be sent to the farm tonight.
After saying this, the police officer ignored the Su family and turned to leave. When Old Mrs. Su and Zhao Xiaohua heard that Su Wenxing would be sent to a farm the next day, they immediately burst into tears.
Old Man Su glanced at his eldest son, and he understood: if the Xiao family wanted Wenxing to suffer, he would have to suffer too. Sigh, the eldest son was useless, and his son was useless too.
Let's go back, stop crying. Let's go back and think of a way to save Wenxing before tomorrow night. Old Man Su knew he wouldn't be able to come up with any solutions, but he still wanted to try. What kind of place was the farm? Going in there would be a bloody experience.
