With Jin Xiaowen as a witness, the case was solved on the spot. Xiong Jing was fined 20 yuan for deliberately disrupting the market and had to compensate Song Yun 20 yuan.
Jin Xiaowen cried as she tried to distance herself, "Officer, this really has nothing to do with me. I was just following Xiong Jing's orders. I don't know anything about it."
The policeman frowned: "You're an accomplice. Do you think you can get away with this?"
Jin Xiaowen also has to compensate Song Yun, but she only needs to pay ten yuan.
That's half a month's salary!
Jin Xiaowen glared at Xiong Jing, her eyes practically spitting fire!
Xiong Jing felt like the sky was falling. Forty yuan was a huge sum! It was two months' salary, and she and Zhuang Pinghua only had fifty or sixty yuan combined!
"Officer, I know I was wrong. I have no money. I can't pay for it."
Song Rongrong scoffed, "You think you can get out of jail just because you don't have money?"
The police officer glanced at Song Rongrong and told her not to cause trouble.
"This is a penalty imposed according to regulations. If you don't have the money, please have your family come and pay it."
Xiong Jing was pregnant and was crying her eyes out. There were other people in the police station who thought Xiong Jing was the one who had been bullied.
"Young lady, don't be afraid. If you are bullied, the police will definitely stand up for you and punish the perpetrator severely!"
Xiong Jing: "..."
Song Yun was in a hurry to get back to her business. She frowned and said, "Xiong Jing, hurry up, I'm in a rush."
Having no other option, Xiong Jing called Zhuang Pinghua's factory and asked him to bring the money over.
Xiong Jing glared fiercely at Song Yun.
Song Yun is such a jinx!
Song Rongrong sneered: "What are you glaring at? Glare again and I'll gouge your eyes out. You're the one with bad intentions, how can you blame others?! Ridiculous!"
The police officer clicked his tongue and said to Song Rongrong, "In a police station these days, don't talk nonsense about gouging out eyes. Speak properly!"
Song Rongrong snorted and rolled her eyes at Xiong Jing, "Hurry up and pay up, don't stay too long. If you go back and get a stomachache, you'll try to extort money from us again. The police are here right now, we didn't do anything to her."
Xiong Jing was speechless with anger after being rebuked by Song Yingying, and gritted her teeth, "Shut up!"
Jin Xiaowen now hates Xiong Jing to death. "It's all your fault! You insisted on making me lie to people. Now look what happened, I have to pay twenty yuan in compensation. You should pay that money, why should I pay it! Xiong Jing, you pay the money too!"
Xiong Jing frowned and said impatiently, "It's your own fault for being stupid and not handling this matter well. What does it have to do with me?"
Jin Xiaowen raised her hand to hit Xiong Jing, but was stopped by the police.
"This is a police station, not a market! If you cause any more trouble, you'll be detained for the night!"
Xiong Jing and Jin Xiaowen then quieted down.
Zhuang Pinghua arrived quickly with forty yuan. He knew that Xiong Jing had contacted Jin Xiaowen, but he didn't expect to be exposed on the spot.
Zhuang Pinghua's heart was bleeding.
That's forty yuan!
Zhuang Pinghua glared fiercely at Song Yun, as if Song Yun had killed his entire family.
Song Yun didn't care about any of that; she just had to get the money.
"Officer, this is Zhuang Pinghua. He was the one who came to my shop to demand money last time. I'm just doing business honestly. His behavior is that of a bully, no different from a robber. If there hadn't been people in the park that day, Zhuang Pinghua probably would have succeeded!"
Song Rongrong added, "Yes, officers, you must educate him properly, and it would be best to lock Zhuang Pinghua up for a few days!"
Police officer: "Alright, everyone be quiet, no noise allowed!"
Zhuang Pinghua reluctantly handed the money to the police. He looked at Song Yun, wishing he could strangle her on the spot.
It's unbelievable that a once-happy couple has fallen to this state.
Song Yun had never wronged Zhuang Pinghua in any way; she only regretted that she had been blind back then. "Zhuang Pinghua, you two will get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
Xiong Jing was so angry that she wanted to fight Song Yun to the death.
"You heartless woman, shut up!"
Song Rongrong helped Song Yun back, saying, "If you say another word, all your words will bounce back and bounce back to the baby in your belly!"
The police officer yelled at Xiong Jing to be quiet, then looked at Song Rongrong. This girl was quite swearing at such a young age.
Song Rongrong rolled her eyes. "Idiot!"
Jin Xiaowen had no choice but to have her husband come and give her the money. She was too ashamed to confront Song Yun, so she could only curse Xiong Jing and his wife.
Song Yun and Song Rongrong left after finishing their business.
Song Yun returned to the shop, while Song Rongrong went to the newspaper office.
"Rongrong, it's good that you're here today."
Song Rongrong waved her hand, "Third Aunt, you're too kind. We're family."
...
Xiong Jing, her husband, and Jin Xiaowen were educated by the police for another hour before leaving.
When Xiong Jing returned to the restaurant, she learned that she had been fired.
"We can't afford someone like you. You can leave now. Here's your salary for this month. Take it and go."
Not long after Xiong Jing was taken away, a diner in the restaurant, who was from Xiong Jing's town, told him about Xiong Jing and Zhuang Pinghua.
"Brother Jiang, I can't live without this job. I know I was wrong, and I will change in the future. I really will change."
No matter what Xiong Jing said, the boss wouldn't budge, and in the end, Xiong Jing could only go home with her meager wages of about ten yuan.
She didn't complete the full month's work and only had about ten yuan in wages.
Zhuang Pinghua went back to work at the factory in the afternoon. He is now a security guard at the garment factory and occasionally helps with deliveries. He doesn't go home until after 8 p.m.
The couple now have less than thirty yuan in total.
I also want to have a baby.
Only Zhuang Pinghua has a job.
Xiong Jing is now filled with deep regret; she should never have gone to see Jin Xiaowen...
The two sat on the chairs with long faces.
