Chapter 446 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (14)
Aunt Wang never expected that the thief was Liang Dashi. If she didn't know that Chen Shichu would not joke about such things, she would not believe it at all. But since Chen Shichu said so, it must be him.
"Liang Dashi's family is well off and he's not short of money. How did he fall to the point of becoming a thief?" Aunt Wang couldn't understand.
"I don't know either." Chen Shichu shrugged and went back home. When Aunt Wang heard this great news from her, she immediately went out to find someone to talk to.
Soon everyone knew that it was Liang Dashi who went to Chen Shichu's house to steal things, and Liang Dashi's sons and daughters-in-law also knew about it.
When the eldest brother Liang heard the news, he immediately ran home to discuss the matter with his two younger brothers: "Second and third brothers, they said that the person who stole things from Chen Shichu's house was our dad!"
When Liang Lao Er and Liang Lao San heard this, their first reaction was disbelief.
"How is this possible? Our father never stole anything before, so why did he suddenly become a thief this time? The police must have caught the wrong person!" Liang Lao Er said firmly.
"That's right. Our family is not short of money. The three of us brothers give him a sum of money every year, which is enough for him to live a comfortable life. Why does he need to steal? This must be a mistake. Our father would not do such a thing." Liang Lao San also said with certainty.
"I also don't think it was our father, but those people in the village swore that it was you, Chen Shichu, who said so after returning from the police station. Can Chen Shichu still slander our father?" Boss Liang didn't want to believe that his own father had become a thief, but there was no reason for Chen Shichu to slander his father! This was totally unreasonable.
"Why don't we just go and ask Chen Shichu directly?" Liang Lao San said.
"Okay, let's go and find out clearly." Boss Liang took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, and the three brothers went to Chen Shichu's house.
But when they got there, Chen Shichu's house was locked, so the three of them went to the cassava processing factory to look for her.
As expected, Chen Shichu was at the cassava processing factory. When she saw the three brothers who came to see her, she asked them to come to her office to talk.
"I heard that the thief who stole your things was my father. I want to ask if this is true." Boss Liang said in a muffled voice with a stern face.
"It's true. The police caught him at the scene where he was selling stolen goods. The evidence is solid. Your father was indeed the thief who broke into my house and stole things." Chen Shichu said frankly without any euphemism. She was the victim, and it was magnanimous of her not to vent her anger on others. Did she also have to understand the feelings of the perpetrator's family?
"It's also possible that these were stolen by someone else, and my father was just helping them sell the stolen goods?" Liang Lao Er said with a lucky thought.
Chen Shichu glanced at him calmly and said, "The surveillance camera at my house captured your father's face. From beginning to end, he was the only one who appeared in my house and stole things."
As soon as she said this, the faces of the three brothers from the Liang family immediately turned red. Fortunately, they were dark-skinned, so it was not so obvious.
After a while, Boss Liang asked her with difficulty: "How long will my father be locked up in there?"
"He will probably be sentenced to a few years." Chen Shichu said, "The amount he stole was huge, so the sentence will be heavier." She did not hide it from them.
"If we ask him to return the things to you, can you please not sue him?" Liang Lao Er asked tentatively.
"No, he stole my things. If I let him go, then anyone can come to my house and steal in the future. I can't bear living alone." Chen Shichu refused firmly.
Liang Lao San hurriedly said, "In addition to returning the stolen items to you, we can also compensate you for your losses, apologize to you, and we can settle privately. Can you withdraw the case? My father is so old, how can he bear to go to jail?"
"If he can't stand it, then why did he become a thief? Since you've done it, you should be mentally prepared to go to jail. You don't think you can escape punishment at your age, do you? What do you regard the law as? A piece of waste paper?" Chen Shichu sneered.
"We are all from the same village. We see each other every day. Do you really want to be so disrespectful to me?" Liang Lao Er got angry when he saw that Chen Shichu showed no sign of compromise.
"You also know that we are from the same village and have a close relationship, right? Then why didn't your father stop stealing my things because we are from the same village?" Chen Shichu's face turned cold, "Or do you specialize in cheating acquaintances? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"No, no, you misunderstood. The third brother didn't mean that." Seeing Chen Shichu getting angry, Liang Laoda hurriedly tried to persuade him, "My third brother just got a little impulsive and too anxious. He didn't mean to bully you...Alas, Aunt Chen, I know my father should be punished for being a thief, but I have to think about my sons and nephews. If they have a grandfather who is a thief and is in jail, they will never be able to hold their heads up in the village. Anyone can look down on them. The oldest of them is only ten years old. They are discriminated against and bullied at such a young age. What will they do in the future?"
Boss Liang starts to act pitiful and uses the child to play the emotional card. In the final analysis, isn't he just trying to get Chen Shichu to withdraw the lawsuit and not sue his father?
But why should she think about the Liang family? It was Liang Dashi who was sorry for them, not her, Chen Shichu.
"Then you have to blame your father. Why couldn't he do something else? He had to disrespect his elders and become a thief. In the final analysis, it's his fault. The fact that he is a thief cannot be changed. Whether he goes to jail or not, everyone in the village knows that he is a thief. Your child is destined to be discriminated against and ridiculed. You can't blame me for this. Who made their grandfather a thief?" Chen Shichu would not be morally blackmailed.
Chen Shichu's repeated use of the word "thief" irritated the impulsive Liang Lao San. He slammed the table with a bang, glaring angrily, "Mr. Chen, you just won't reconcile after all you've said. You want my dad to go to jail, right? I won't let you go. Be careful when you walk at night next time..."
Chen Shichu immediately took out his phone and opened the video recording software, pointing the camera at Liang Lao San: "You threatened and intimidated me. If anything happens to me in the future, it will be your family's fault, and the reason is retaliation."
"You, you!" Liang Lao San was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly. He angrily stretched out his hand to snatch Chen Shichu's phone, "I told you to take a picture! I told you to take a picture!"
Without waiting for him to pounce on him, Chen Shichu kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying several meters backwards and then hitting the wall heavily.
Liang Lao Da and Liang Lao Er hurried to help him. Chen Shichu continued to hold up his phone and said, "You still want to attack me. I just acted in self-defense. Now I have reasonable suspicion that you will continue to hurt me, so I want you to leave my office. If you don't want me to send you to jail, please leave."
When Liang Lao Da and Liang Lao Er heard her words, they gritted their teeth in anger, but they could do nothing about her, so they could only help Liang Lao San leave.
