Chapter 107 The police are here
Because of her apparent leg problems, Feng Qingqing did not go out to see what was going on. At the same time, she wondered what kind of trouble this was, as the noise had reached the clinic.
While Feng Qingqing was quietly tidying up medicinal herbs and doing housework at the clinic, things were quite lively at the brigade headquarters.
It turns out that after returning from the brigade headquarters yesterday, Grandma He, Grandpa He, and their sons discussed it and unanimously decided to call the police.
Especially He Yongming, the youngest son of Old Lady He. He Yongming's leg injury had not fully healed yet. Ever since he learned that his mother, Old Lady He, had borrowed 200 yuan from his eldest sister, he finally felt a little more at ease. Who knew that before he could be happy for two days, that brat He Yongyun secretly took 100 yuan from him. This made He Yongming furious. After all, in He Yongming's eyes, Old Lady He's money was his money.
Therefore, after Grandma He returned home yesterday and finished relaying the suggestions from everyone at the brigade headquarters, He Yongming couldn't wait to say that he must call the police and get the money back. At the same time, he secretly tried to persuade Grandma He, saying that the girl was already so eager to please her husband's family before she was even married, and that she shouldn't expect her to be good to her own family after marriage. He told her to give up and that it was best to keep the money for herself.
Grandma He loved her youngest son the most. After hearing what he said, she thought it over carefully and felt that it made a lot of sense. Her initial hesitation gradually turned into a firm belief after being persuaded by her youngest son.
After discussing the plan, the family members went to carry it out. The next morning, they arrived at the brigade headquarters in a noisy manner. Accompanying the He family was He Yongyun's girlfriend, Sun Tianming.
To prevent Sun Tianming from escaping, He's other two sons, He Yongchang and He Yongguo, each held one of his arms.
If you're wondering why Sun Tianming was at Lao He's house so early in the morning, it's because Lao He's family had planned it the day before to trick Sun Tianming into coming over under the pretense of discussing the wedding arrangements between the two families.
Upon arriving at the He family's house, Sun Tianming discovered that things were not as he had been told—that he was there to discuss wedding dowry and other matters. Instead, he was pressured by the He family members to hand over the 100 yuan that He Yongyun had given him. Sun Tianming refused to admit it and firmly denied it. Since that was the case, the He family decided to call the police as previously agreed.
The He family asked a cousin to report the theft to the commune police station and request that the commune send two police officers to investigate the theft.
So, Sun Tianming and his whole family from the He family arrived at the brigade office early in the morning. Not long after, two police officers from the commune police station also arrived at the brigade on bicycles. When the brigade members saw that two police officers had come, they stopped working and all rushed to the square outside the brigade headquarters. At this point, the brigade leader had no choice but to tell the onlookers not to make any noise and just watch.
The two police officers were the same two who had visited the Lanshan Brigade before, so they were quite familiar with the brigade. They were also helpless when they heard that money had been lost again. Only after the He family gave a detailed description of the situation did the police officers realize that this case was different from the previous times when money was lost.
Two police officers, one slightly older, around forty years old; the other around twenty years old. The older officer was the dominant one. He first questioned He Yongyun:
"Comrade He Yongyun, did you steal 100 yuan from your home and then transfer it to Sun Tianming?"
After saying this, the middle-aged policeman, with a serious expression, stared at He Yongyun and solemnly added:
"Comrade He Yongyun, please tell us the truth. If there is any deception or concealment, we will hold you accountable once it is verified. Please think carefully before you answer, so as not to make a mistake."
Upon hearing what the police said, He Yongyun turned pale with fright. She was already torn between Sun Tianming and her family, but after hearing the police's words, she dared not hold back any longer and poured out her entire story to the two police officers, ignoring Sun Tianming who had been giving her meaningful glances.
How did Sun Tianming find out that your family was wealthy? Did you often talk about these kinds of topics?
The middle-aged police officer questioned him again.
He Yongyun lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly and stammered as he spoke:
“It was me who said it. His family had asked me to bring a dowry of 30 yuan when I got married. Since my family has some money now, I reassured him that my mother had borrowed 200 yuan from my older sister, so the 30 yuan dowry should be no problem. I told him not to worry.”
The old policeman then asked:
"What did Sun Tianming tell you?"
He said that if we had 100 yuan in savings after we got married, we could rent a nicer place. He would also borrow some money from relatives and friends so that we could buy our own house soon. He added that we would consider the money as a loan from our parents and that we would definitely pay it back when we had the money.
He Yongyun didn't know what she was thinking at the time, but she did as Sun Tianming said. Now her parents were completely disregarding her, which made her extremely upset. Although she was wrong to do this, she called the police. How could she stay in the Sun family in the future? She was filled with bitterness.
When the two policemen got to this point, not only they, but also the brigade cadres and the majority of commune members present knew the whole story. They all looked at Sun Tianming with disdain and cast mocking glances at him. This young man, even though he's from the city, has a crooked mind. He even said he borrowed it and would pay it back later. What a fool he is.
Sun Tianming had already noticed the gazes and expressions of everyone present, and his face was not pleasant either. But Sun Tianming was an ordinary person in other aspects, but he was exceptionally thick-skinned and valued money very much. Once the money was in his pocket, it was not easy to get it back.
The middle-aged policeman turned to look at Sun Tianming, asked him about his basic information, and then asked him for his opinion on what He Yongyun had just said.
Sun Tianming knew they had already condemned him in their hearts, but he refused to admit it. What could they do to him? He was a city dweller, unlike the country folk who were so afraid of the police, so he immediately cried out that he was innocent.
"Officers, you must investigate this thoroughly. I didn't take any money from her family. You can't wrong an innocent person. If they insist on framing me, then they should at least provide evidence. If they can't provide evidence, then it's a false accusation, and I won't stand for it."
He became quite smug after saying that, which shows what kind of person he is. After he finished speaking, the two policemen frowned.
The two police officers realized that Sun Tianming was not only fearless but also very cunning. The middle-aged officer's eyes darted around, and he suddenly changed the subject:
"I heard you're a temporary worker at the lumber mill now?"
Upon hearing the police's words, Sun Tianming's expression changed slightly, and his heart began to pound. However, he remembered that He Yongyun had given him money without any evidence, so even if the matter went to the factory, he would have a way to refute it.
Therefore, he still pretended to be calm and said:
"I ask the police to investigate thoroughly and give me justice. I will not discuss anything else."
After the police officer finished speaking, Grandma He, who seemed to have received some inspiration, had her eyes light up.
