Chapter 12 You stole my money!
Zhao Lusheng pointed to Wen Sining standing nearby and said to the police officer, "This is the child. She had a serious illness and her mind is stuck at the level of a seven-year-old. Before her brother went to the army, he hired a distant relative to take care of her. But after just a short time, the child started to have scars of all sizes."
"Look, these scars are obviously man-made. I asked the child, and she said it was this distant relative who abused her!"
After hearing what the village chief said, the public security officer walked up to Wen Sining with a serious face. He examined the scars on both arms and asked, "Who caused these scars?"
There was a hint of nervousness and fear in Wen Sining's eyes.
She carefully pointed at the restrained Huang Juan and whispered to the police, "It's her. If I don't work, she pinches and beats me. My brother sends me 50 yuan every month, and she only feeds me corn porridge every day. If she's unhappy, I can't even eat corn porridge."
After Wen Si Ning finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and everyone present couldn't help but feel sorry for Wen Si Ning.
"Her brother is a company commander in the Beijing army and sends fifty yuan home every month. Huang Juan might have embezzled it all. Public Security comrades, you must investigate thoroughly and not let the soldiers down!"
"Yes, this little girl is so pitiful. She had a serious illness when she was young. Now that her brother has finally become successful and things are getting better at home, she never expected such a weasel to sneak in. Not only did he steal money, he also beat the child! Public Security Comrades, you must not let her go!"
Soon, Huang Juan was taken away by the police. Huang Ting, thinking about the betrothal gift, chased Huang Juan and asked for money.
Huang Juan thought of the money and immediately confessed, "Comrade Public Security, I didn't spend the money. I hid it all. If I just hand over the money, will you not arrest me?"
After hearing Huang Juan's words, the police stopped and asked, "Where is the money hidden? Take us there now. If the money is still there, it can lessen your crime."
Huang Juan nodded repeatedly when she heard this, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there. The money is hidden in the Wen family."
Wen Sining curled the corners of his lips, looking calm and at ease, as if he was enjoying the show.
Although no one noticed her subtle expression, it did not escape Lu Jinkun's eyes.
Everyone followed the police to the Wen family.
Lu Jinkun had already guessed what would happen next from Wen Sining's subtle expression.
He found it boring and had no intention of going with them.
He supported his grandmother and went into the house. Old Mrs. Lu held his hand and looked at the crowd that was getting farther and farther away.
He said to him, "Ah Kun, you should go over and take a look. If there is anything she needs help with, please help her."
Lu Jinkun sneered, "Grandma, instead of worrying about others, you might as well worry more about yourself. Do you really think that fool will suffer a loss?"
Old Lady Lu glared at him angrily and hit him on the leg with her cane, "Don't call me stupid. That little girl looks smart, but it's a pity that she's the only weak girl in the family, so she's inevitably at a disadvantage in terms of strength."
Yang Yuejin and Hu Tiezhu also hurriedly said, "Brother Kun, let's go over and take a look. Once we get to the bottom of what's going on, we can get the village chief to apologize to you!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Kun, we have to let the village chief take the lead in apologizing to you. We can't let them get away!"
——
Everyone rushed to the Wen family's house. Huang Juan pointed to the kitchen and said, "Comrade Public Security, right there! I hid the money on the floor in the corner of the kitchen. There's a stone on the floor. If you pry it open with a stick, you'll see a big hole. Just reach out and feel it."
After hearing what Huang Juan said, the police went into the kitchen and found a large stone on the ground in the corner.
The police used a wooden stick to pry up the stone, and without the stone covering it, there was indeed a big hole on the ground.
They reached into the hole and searched several times but found nothing.
As soon as they left the kitchen, Huang Juan hurriedly asked, "Comrade Public Security, I didn't lie to you, did I? I hid all the money there."
Even Huang Ting excitedly asked, "Comrade Public Security, there's a betrothal gift for my daughter in that money. It's one hundred yuan. Can I take it?"
The police officer looked at Huang Juan seriously and said, "There is indeed a big hole in the ground, but there is no money in the hole as you said!"
The smile on Huang Juan's face froze. She shook her head and did not believe what the police said.
"Impossible! I looked at it before I went to bed yesterday, and the money was all in it!"
As she spoke, she broke free from the police's restraints, ran into the kitchen, lay on the floor, and put her arms into the hole to feel around.
He kept yelling, "No, no! I clearly hid it last night. I put it right here. It can't be gone!"
Everyone looked at Huang Juan's crazy behavior and whispered.
"Is Huang Juan crazy? She should just admit she spent all the money, but she has to make up an excuse saying she hid it here."
"I think she's just looking for an excuse to get out of the sentence!"
The police stepped forward to stop Huang Juan's actions, "That's enough, there's no money you hid here, you should come with us."
Huang Juan, who was escorted out by the police, looked dazed and looked at the crowd in confusion.
When Huang Juan saw Wen Sining's complacent face, she reacted.
"It's you! You stole my money!" Huang Juan struggled and wanted to rush towards Wen Sining, but unfortunately her arms were clamped tightly and she could not move.
Wen Sining blinked, and soon tears began to fall like pearls from a broken string.
"Aunt Huang, I didn't even know you hid the money, how could I steal it?" She wiped her tears, her eyes red, and her voice sobbing.
"Besides, the money originally belonged to my brother. Even if I really took it, it's not called stealing, wuwuwu."
Several aunts gathered around Wen Sining, comforting her from time to time, "Don't worry, aunts, we believe in you!"
"Yes, Xuanxuan was exposed to the cold wind at the entrance of the village last night. How could she possibly take all this money? Besides, if she did take it, we would have seen it all. How could she hide so much money on her body?"
"That's right. I see that you clearly spent the money, and now you're putting the blame on Xuanxuan. Don't you understand Xuanxuan's mentality? If you say she took the money, will anyone believe you?"
Huang Ting was so angry that she rushed to Huang Juan and demanded that she pay back the money. "Huang Juan, give me back the hundred yuan! That was my daughter's betrothal gift. If you don't pay me back, I'll sue you! You sold my daughter without saying a word, turning her from a virgin into a slut. You're breaking the law!"
As she spoke, her sharp nails had already scratched Huang Juan's face.
The police also restrained Huang Ting and took them both to the police station.
The farce finally ended, and Zhao Lusheng kept his promise and was the first to apologize to Lu Jinkun in front of everyone.
"Jin Kun, I wronged you in this matter. I apologize to you in front of everyone."
