Wang Tianxiao took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it and said directly, "Look, last month you stole about 360 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and then add a few days this month, let's say 40 kilowatt-hours, so let's call it 40. Now you pay me the electricity bill in one lump sum."
"What? How could I possibly have used so much electricity?"
Guai Guai Qiao Dan was already listless, but when she heard that she had to pay compensation, she immediately struggled to continue shouting.
Are you stupid?
Wang Dabao couldn't stand it anymore and pointed directly at Guai Guai Qiao Dan's face, saying, "You woman are really ignorant and stupid to the extreme. Do you think stealing electricity is like taking other things from someone else's house without any record? Let me tell you, electricity is recorded by the meter. Whoever steals electricity can be identified directly from the meter. Otherwise, why would we be able to locate your house?"
Seeing that Guai Guai Qiao Dan still wouldn't back down, she said sullenly, "You, you're just wasting your good life and doing nothing but petty theft. Do you really think people don't know what kind of person you are? It's just that we're all neighbors and don't want to embarrass you."
"Captain, why are you saying all this? Do you think we're easy to bully?" Guai Guai Qiao Dan was still unconvinced and continued to struggle from a different angle. "Yes, we used some electricity without your permission, but this electricity doesn't belong to you; it belongs to the government. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"You know nothing."
Before Wang Tianxiao could say anything, Wang Dabao had already become very excited.
"Are you genuinely unaware, or are you feigning ignorance while trying to appear clever?"
"What are you doing? I don't understand what you're saying. If you're going to say something, then say it clearly."
“Because there are people like you in our team who are unwilling to connect to the power grid, Tianxiao has been covering this cost. So these households are temporarily registered under Tianxiao’s name. The power station only collects money based on the total electricity consumption. If the total electricity consumption of each household does not match the total consumption, then Tianxiao will have to cover the difference. Do you understand?”
Seeing that Guai Guai and Qiao Dan were somewhat confused, Wang Dabao continued, "In other words, Tian Xiao and his brother have to pay the power station for all the electricity you stole. So you still think this has nothing to do with us? Can't you have any shame? You're getting on in years, and you're not setting a good example for the children. All you do is worry about these petty gains. Aren't you ashamed?"
Guai Guai Qiao Dan was somewhat at a loss after being scolded by Wang Da Bao.
Looking at her husband and children beside her, who were the kind of people who couldn't handle things, she said, "Even if I used a little electricity, it's not a big deal. You don't have to make such a fuss."
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Tianxiao with pitiful eyes, begging him to soften his heart.
Since Wang Tianxiao had been mostly in the mountains since his return, she still perceived him as the same honest man she knew before. She thought that if she acted pitiful, Wang Tianxiao might not have the heart to let her go.
But her idea was clearly flawed.
The Wang Tianxiao before us is no longer the honest man he once was.
Now, he vows never to give these shameless bastards any face again.
Since they have no shame, then you can't blame them for not giving them a way out.
"You say it's unnecessary, so it's unnecessary? Who gave you that right?"
Wang Tianxiao sneered, looking down at the shameless woman in front of him, his tone sharp and indifferent, "Now that we've caught you red-handed, what's the point of saying anything more? Just pay up."
