Therefore, the Liang family found him a job as a house-watcher. Although the salary was not high, it was light work and he did not have to do heavy work.
The family also bought a second-hand house in a community not far from the compound, a two-bedroom apartment of more than 80 square meters, not far from where both of them work.
So for a moment, the old man could only think that Xiao Zhang came to him with something, maybe the family needed money.
Unexpectedly, what the nanny, Aunt Zhang, said next was beyond the old man's expectations!
"Old Chief, I'm not here to borrow money from you, but... Yesterday, when my daughter and I were out shopping, we encountered something. My daughter asked me to tell you about this so that the family can be prepared." Aunt Zhang was a little nervous when she said this, and there was a bit of anxiety on her face.
The old man hurriedly said, "Sit down and talk slowly. Don't be nervous. Is this matter related to our family?"
Aunt Zhang sat down on the chair and took a moment to calm down before telling what happened yesterday.
Aunt Zhang and her daughter had made an appointment to go shopping a long time ago, mainly because Aunt Zhang thought her daughter was about to get married and wanted to buy her a set of jewelry.
Something happened in the Liang family these two days, and Aunt Zhang also felt that it was inappropriate to go out shopping now. However, she did not want to explain to her daughter the reason for not going, because since she started working at the Liang family, she had never told outsiders about the affairs of the host family, including her husband and children.
So when the mother and daughter were shopping, she was not in a good mood and was not very focused.
As a result, when the mother and daughter left the jewelry store, they were stopped by someone.
It turned out that in addition to Aunt Zhang and her daughter, there was another group of customers in the store. They had just bought a diamond ring worth 170,000 yuan and went to look at other jewelry. However, when they went to pay, they found that the ring was missing.
They asked the store to help find the ring. The store quickly notified the security guard to close the store, saying that they would not be allowed to leave until the ring was found.
Shouldn’t Aunt Zhang call the police if she thinks something is missing?
Why did they detain someone in their store without permission?
But before she could finish her thought, the mother and daughter were invited upstairs again.
The middle-aged woman who lost the item pointed at Aunt Zhang's nose and cursed, "Just now, you and your daughter were the only two closest to me, and you saw the ring just now, but you didn't have the money to buy it!
You two poor bastards, if you can't afford it, don't watch it. After watching it, you became greedy and actually stole things from my bag. Do you have any shame?
Hurry up and get the things out to me, or I'll never let you go!"
Aunt Zhang's lips were trembling with anger. She had lived a clean life all her life, but she didn't expect to be wrongly accused of theft today. She immediately took out her cell phone to call the police.
As a result, she didn't even have the chance to call the police before her bag was snatched away by the security guard.
Even her daughter's belongings were not spared. The two people's things were dumped on the counter, and the ring worth 170,000 yuan ran out of her daughter's bag.
Li Sijia, Aunt Zhang's daughter, was shocked on the spot.
Who knows better than herself whether she stole the ring?
But how did that thing appear in her bag?
Could it be her mother who put it there?
Her mother is not that kind of person!
Aunt Zhang was also wondering how her daughter could do such a thing?
But if it wasn't her daughter who did it, how did the things appear in her daughter's bag?
Now that the middle-aged woman confirmed that the thing was in Li Sijia's bag, she became even more assertive.
"Do you know what the sentence is for stealing a diamond ring worth 170,000 yuan?
There's no escaping a prison sentence of more than three years! Do you want to call the police or settle this privately?"
Li Sijia thought that if she reported this to the police, her mother would definitely lose her job. Who in the military compound would tolerate a person with a reputation as a thief working as a nanny in someone else's home? Should she settle the matter privately?
Aunt Zhang thought that if she called the police, her daughter's life would be ruined. Who would be willing to hire a person with a reputation as a thief as an employee?
Even Li Sijia’s marriage might be in vain!
So, the mother and daughter chose to settle the matter privately in unison.
In order not to affect other customers' shopping, the store invited the two groups into a lounge, and the branch manager acted as a witness.
At the beginning, the middle-aged woman said arrogantly: "This ring has been touched by you. I don't plan to wear it again, so you have to pay me!"
Aunt Zhang thought to herself, she had to grit her teeth and buy the ring. Even if she had to eat coarse food in the future, she would not let her daughter be charged with the crime of a thief.
She was about to agree when the middle-aged woman said, "We bought that ring for 170,000 yuan. You don't have to pay more. Just give us 340,000 yuan. 170,000 yuan will keep you out of jail. You won't lose anything!"
When Li Sijia heard that they wanted so much money, she immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily: "You are blackmailing me!"
The thin man who had been silently following the middle-aged woman spoke up at this moment. "It's okay if you don't sign. We'll just go through the legal process. By then, not only will this matter become public knowledge, but you'll also be sentenced and have to pay a fine. You decide for yourself what to do!"
"But we don't have that much money. Aren't you trying to make things difficult for us by saying that?" Aunt Zhang said.
As soon as Aunt Zhang said this, the thin man smiled and said, "Sister, you look familiar to me. Have we met somewhere before?"
Aunt Zhang looked at him twice, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember seeing you before!"
The man asked again: "Do you work for the Liang family in the compound?"
After all, Aunt Zhang has worked in the Liang family for so many years and knows a lot. When she heard him ask this, she immediately became alert!
"Don't worry! I have a niece who really admires soldiers!
I heard that the eldest son of the Liang family doesn't have a girlfriend yet. Could you please help introduce them to each other?
It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, as long as we let them meet, we can put this matter behind us today!" said the thin man with a grin.
Li Sijia is a college graduate after all, and even if her brain is slow, she has come to her senses now. Could it be that someone has set her up today?
She was afraid her mother might say something wrong, so she spoke first: "Is your request really that simple?"
The man continued, "Of course, I'm also afraid that you will agree with me but not want to help me in your heart, so you have to write us a confession first. Just write down what happened today and then sign it.
Don't blame me for being mean-spirited. As long as you do what you promised, I will tear it up in front of you. I will never break my promise."
Li Sijia thought, what if he didn't tear up the thing and used the paper to threaten her mother to do something else?
