Chapter Eighty-Nine: Exposed

"The time they made an appointment was yesterday afternoon, Luo Zhenjie really left the factory and went to the county seat, I followed all the way, and saw him go to see the boss to pay back the money. When he came out, I stopped him and asked where the money came from, and he didn't speak for a long time, and then he ran away. I was afraid that he would run away, so I kept chasing him back. I went to his house early this morning and arrested him in the factory and asked him in front of the village chief. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Zhenzhi looked at Luo Zhenjie and asked, "Zhenjie, what I said is the truth?"

Luo Zhenjie nodded wordlessly.

Luo Ning asked, "Uncle, do you really owe three hundred yuan?"

Luo Zhenjie nodded again.

"Where did you get that money back?" Luo Ning continued.

Luo Zhenjie was silent again, and Luo Xiuming said: "Xiao Ning, I have already asked him, but he refuses to say anything." ”

Luo Ning thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, can I say a few words to my uncle alone?"

Luo Xiuming nodded in agreement, but Luo Zhenzhi was unwilling: "No, who knows if you will collude in private and make up a lie to deceive people?"

Luo Ning ignored him, and directly took Luo Zhenjie's hand and walked to another office, Luo Zhenzhi saw this, and immediately rushed to the door to stop them: "You can't go." ”

Luo Ning stared at him and asked, "Uncle Zhenzhi, you have been following my uncle every day since the holiday, right? Do you know that this is a crime?"

Luo Zhenzhi didn't expect Luo Ning to suddenly say this, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "How do you know that I am following him?"

But the people in the house had already heard it, and Luo Ning continued to ask, "Why are you following my uncle?"

Luo Zhenzhi closed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Can I think that you are following my uncle to find an opportunity to frame him, or are you trying to beat him secretly?"

Luo Zhenzhi retorted: "You are talking nonsense, I don't. ”

Luo Ning smiled: "Why should I believe you? You can speculate out of thin air that my uncle stole money, so I can't guess your motive for following my uncle? Uncle Zhenzhi, didn't your teacher teach you what fairness is? ”

Luo Zhenzhi was speechless, so he had to give way obediently. Luo Ning and Luo Zhenjie came to his office, Luo Zhenzhi still wanted to follow behind, but was pushed away by Duan Yunfei and guarded at the door.

Luo Ning closed the door and asked, "Uncle, if you have anything bad to say, it's best to tell me honestly now, and I can help you." ”

Luo Zhenjie hesitated and said, "Xiao Ning, will you believe me?"

"Uncle, as long as you tell the truth, I will believe you. ”

Luo Zhenjie was silent for a long time before slowly telling the truth: when Luo Zhenjie worked in the hotel in the county seat last year, Chen Song often went to play with him, and at the beginning, he was bent on changing his mind and ignored Chen Song. But Chen Song never gave up, and still came to Luo Zhenjie from time to time. After a while, Luo Zhenjie was shaken and followed Chen Song out to play a few times. At first, he went to karaoke to sing, dance in the dance hall or something, and then Chen Song met a boss who opened an underground gambling game, went to play a few times, won some money, and took Luo Zhenjie with him.

Luo Zhenjie also won some money at the beginning, and then he began to lose, and that time he borrowed money from Luo Ning because he owed gambling debts. He couldn't borrow any money at the time, and the thugs started to trouble him. He had to pay off his debts in advance, and by the end of the year, he had lost all his monthly wages and owed three hundred. At that time, the boss let him go, asking him to pay back the money before the New Year, otherwise he would chop off one of his hands. Luo Zhenjie had no money to pay back, so he went home to avoid debts during the Chinese New Year, and later prepared a bean paste factory to ask him to work in the factory, so he happily agreed.

In the first half of the year, Luo Zhenjie rarely went to the county seat, and even if he went, he was very careful not to be discovered, until last month, he was discovered by a gangster and was stopped on the spot.

After he went home, he thought for a long time about where to borrow money to pay off his debts, and when Luo Chuanyi came home in the evening, Luo Zhenjie suddenly remembered that the old man had saved thousands of yuan, although the eldest brother had taken away the passbook before, but the old man was such a shrewd person, he must have quietly gone to report the loss and make up for it, so Luo Zhenjie decided to ask the old man for it, I don't know what method he used, so that the old man who had always held the money very tightly gave him 300 yuan. But if he told everyone that the money was given by the old man, who would believe it? Luo Chuanyi refused to give out a penny even when the whole family was hungry and went to relatives for help. Will he use so much money to pay off Luo Zhenjie's debts at once?

Even Luo Ning couldn't believe it when he heard this: "Uncle, how could grandpa take out the money? What did you tell him?"

Luo Zhenjie said: "I promised him that he would give him 20 yuan a month in the future. Since you moved out, the household registration book has also been taken away, and the old man has no support, and he is very worried that the eldest brother will not support him in the future. As soon as I said that I was in charge of raising him, he immediately asked me to give him twenty dollars a month, and I agreed. And then he gave it to me. What Luo Zhenjie didn't say was that Luo Chuanyi still wanted all his dividends.

Luo Ning frowned and said, "It's that simple?" Before Luo Zhenying promised his grandfather to give him sixty yuan a month, although he got the household registration book back, Luo Zhenying didn't think about repenting. Sixty and twenty are more than a little worse, how can he be satisfied?

Luo Zhenjie said: "Twenty is better than no point!"

Luo Ning still thinks that things will not be so simple: "Unless he is still thinking about finding a chance to mess with my father." ”

"It won't be a fuss anytime soon, he's still under observation. ”

Luo Ning thought about it, so he didn't worry anymore, so he said: "Uncle, wait a minute, you just tell the truth, don't worry, I will help you." ”

Luo Zhenjie nodded.

The uncle and nephew walked out of the room, Luo Ning thanked Duan Yunfei gratefully, Duan Yunfei smiled: "Thank you, it's just a trivial matter." ”

Back in Luo Xiuming's office, Luo Zhenjie explained things very clearly, and everyone's reaction was really as he expected, no one believed it!

The biggest reaction was Luo Zhenzhi: "Hahahaha, Luo Zhenjie, even if you make it up, make up a better excuse! You said that it was your old man who gave you the money, how could it be? You might as well simply admit to stealing money." ”

The people around who were watching the excitement also exploded: "That's it, your father's virtue, he can't wait to carry the money into the coffin, how can he take it out?"

"His man is like a pixiu, only in but not out, trying to get him to take the money out, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. Zhenjie, you didn't make the right excuse this time. ”

Some young people don't know much about it, and they gossip: "Oh, why is Zhenjie's father like that?" ”

Luo Xiuming also looked incredulous: "Zhenjie, you have to tell the truth, otherwise I won't be able to help you." ”

Luo Zhenjie looked at Luo Ning helplessly.
