She said it was because of her that she ended up in the police station at such an old age, and she called her a bitch and also cursed Xia Jin, saying that marrying her would bring bad luck to their family for the rest of their lives.
After he got tired of scolding, he started crying, crying for his grandson and his son, saying that it was Liu Xiu who had implicated them.
Finally, the police decided to detain Liu Xiu for only one night. However, the old lady had a bad and arrogant attitude, so they finally decided to detain her for three days.
After listening to this, Xia Jin said, "Be careful tomorrow. Once they get wind of the news, who knows how they'll make trouble. If they do, just call the police. Don't be too lenient with them."
"Also, if the situation gets serious, you can talk about it appropriately."
"I'm leaving tomorrow. If they can't find me and hear you're going to call the police, they'll definitely not dare come again. Even if they do come, there's no need to be nice to them. I'd be happier than anyone else if we can all get them to the police station together."
Manager Liu said, "I understand, boss."
It was already past eight in the evening when the shop closed. After closing the door and cleaning, the shop manager counted the money. After the count, the shop manager handed the money to Xia Jin. Xia Jin asked the shop manager to set aside money for tomorrow's purchase, and then kept the money.
After waiting for a while, the staff of the Malatang restaurant came over. Xia Jin took the money from the Malatang restaurant, set aside some for circulation, and put the rest on the table in front of him.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xia Jin started to hold a meeting with them. Xia Jin first announced the holiday time. The store employees were very happy when they heard that they would have so many days off.
However, they still wanted to open for a few more days. How could they not make money during the Chinese New Year when there are the most people? This idea was rejected by Xia Jin.
After the holiday, Xia Jin started to distribute gifts to them. They were all the same, and each person also received a bonus of 20 yuan. After distributing them, Xia Jin let them go back and rest.
I also reminded the two store managers to explain clearly to the delivery person tomorrow, and then don't forget to notify the customers. Write a piece of paper and post it outside to remind them, just like the previous store, and tell them that if they can't use up the perishable items tomorrow, they can share them privately.
After everything was arranged, Gu Jingmo drove Xia Jin home. When they got home, Gu Jingmo was busy boiling water. Xia Jin took out the store's sales for today, sorted them out, put them aside and asked, "Are we going to Beijing tomorrow?"
Gu Jingmo said, "Well, for tomorrow afternoon's flight, someone will take us directly to Lian City. You don't have to take the bus this time."
Xia Jin said, "But I haven't bought any gifts for your family yet, and it's not a good idea for us to go like this."
Gu Jingmo said, "They will be very happy if you go there, so there's no need to buy gifts. I've already followed you to your father's place, so what if you go to our place? Who dares to gossip?"
"Don't worry, my dad will prepare everything. He won't let others misunderstand you, nor will he give others the opportunity to gossip about you."
"Why?"
Gu Jingmo smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."
Xia Jin said helplessly: "Okay, okay. But I still have to buy gifts for your family. I won't go empty-handed. It's impolite."
Gu Jingmo said, "Did I forget to tell you that we shouldn't go back to the mansion first, but to my place first. You have time to buy gifts. I've also prepared some for you, but you don't have to prepare anything. You can just give them what I bought."
Xia Jin pouted and said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry for so long. And I want to buy it myself. I don't want your things. When we get to Beijing, you can accompany me to buy it."
Gu Jingmo coaxed Xia Jin and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go buy it with you."
The two chatted on the sofa for a while, mainly Xia Jin complaining to Gu Jingmo about his stepfather's family. The two played until after ten o'clock before going back to sleep.
On the other side, when it was past eight o'clock in the evening, Old Man Xia's family saw that his wife and daughter-in-law had not returned yet so late, so they went out to look for them. Old Man Xia also knew that they had gone to Xia Jin's store today.
At first in the evening, they had not returned yet. Old Man Xia thought they stayed in Xia Jin's shop, so he was not too worried. He asked his granddaughter to cook some food for them to eat.
But when he still hadn't returned after eight o'clock, Mr. Xia started to worry, because according to their observation, Xia Jin's store almost closed at eight o'clock, so there was no reason for him not to return.
Old Master Xia had no choice but to ask his son to go to Xia Jin's store to check. As a result, when Xia Jianguo arrived at the door of Xia Jin's store, he saw that the store had been closed for a long time and it was pitch black inside.
Xia Jianguo thought he had taken a different route from them and hadn't run into them, so he hurried home. When he got home, he saw that they hadn't returned yet and said breathlessly, "That's not right. That bitch's shop closed a long time ago. Aren't my mom and the others back yet?"
Old Man Xia said, "He didn't come back. Are you sure everything is closed?"
Xia Jianguo said, "Sure, it's been closed for a long time. I thought I didn't run into them because I took a different route than them. So what should I do now?"
Old Man Xia said, "Wait a little longer. If they don't come back in ten minutes, we'll go out and look for them."
Xia Qingqing said on the side: "Could it be that Xia Jin is taking revenge on them? Something happened to them on the way and that's why they didn't come back. Didn't grandma say when she came back last time that there was a very vicious person around Xia Jin who didn't seem like a good person?"
Old Man Xia said, "Then we won't wait any longer. Let's search along the road. If we can't find her, we'll call the police."
"Let's all go together. Chengcai and the other two are already asleep and probably won't wake up. Let them stay home alone."
After saying that, Xia Qingqing and her family went out to look for the two people. They searched every road but couldn't find them. Old man Xia thought that he was really being retaliated against, so he quickly took his son and granddaughter to call the police.
When they arrived at the police station and explained their purpose, the officer on duty looked at them with disdain and said, "Don't bother looking for them. We're here with them. We arrested them for causing trouble."
Xia Qingqing said aggrievedly, "Did you arrest the wrong person? My grandma and stepmother just wanted to see how my sister could be arrested for causing trouble. That's impossible."
The police officer said, "There's no mistake. When we got there, two people were making a scene in someone's store. We don't care whether it was your sister or not. We just know that someone called the police."
"And that old woman of yours doesn't seem innocent. You don't know that she threw a tantrum in our station, threw our things, and damaged our country's public property. She was originally only detained for one day, but her disturbance angered our director, who increased her sentence from one day to three."
