Chapter 114: Take Medicine
Frank and Monica don't even have a cell phone, and Lip doesn't have a way to contact them right now.
When Fiona and Ian learned about Frank and Monica's behavior, they were even more speechless about the two in-laws.
That night, the two in-laws who got the money didn't know where to go and didn't come back.
It was impossible for Lip to delay his normal life for such a trivial matter, and the next morning, without waiting for Frank and Monica, he did not continue to wait, but went back to school first.
In the afternoon, Fiona contacted and learned that Frank and Monica still hadn't returned, so they didn't go back to Wallace North Street to do their useless work.
Lip didn't mean to call the police, because calling the police was not a cost-effective thing for him.
Even if Frank and Monica were prosecuted and imprisoned for theft, Lip would not be able to get the money back, and the value of the stolen goods of a few thousand dollars would not last long and would not serve them a lesson.
Moreover, Lipu sells Chinese goods privately, which is actually illegal and cannot be exposed.
In addition, although Lip has been threatening him with reporting Frank's cheating on disability benefits and Aunt Jinji's insurance money, this threat is a "nuclear threat", and the threat is the greatest when it is not used!
In addition, Frank and Monica are the parents of several siblings after all, and the decision to send them to prison with their own hands is not so easy to make.
Frank and Monica's behavior this time, although it annoyed Lip very much, has not touched his bottom line.
This time, Frank and Monica were out and about for four days before they returned.
When Lip got the news, when he hurried back from school, he saw the scene in the living room full of packaging - all of them were gifts for the siblings, although they were not anything of value, but this was the first time that the siblings had received gifts from their parents.
Fiona, Ian, Debbie, and Carl all knew where Monica's money for these gifts came from, so they didn't accept Monica's gifts until Lip came back, waiting for Lip to come back and dispose of them.
Lip sneered, "How much did you sell my things?"
"I'm sorry, Lip, I'm really sorry, I was so dazed that I did such a thing, could you please forgive me once?" Monica pleaded pitifully.
"I'm asking, how much did you sell?" Lip repeated.
"Look, Lip, we already know it's wrong...... Frank said with a smirk.
"I'll ask you one last time, how much did you sell my stuff?" said Lip with his fists clenched and his teeth clenched.
Frank looked at Lip Spitfire's eyes, his gaze dodged, and he wanted to avoid the heavy, "Hehe, this, something has happened, we are all a family, if there is anything, you can sit down and talk about it." ”
Lip took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, squeezed out a smile, took out his mobile phone, and said while unlocking it, "Your behavior has been recorded by the camera I secretly installed, since you don't want to answer my question, then go and talk to the police!"
Seeing Lip's resoluteness, Frank resolutely confessed, and hurriedly said, "OK! OK! I said! I said! We sold your things for a total of 2,800 yuan!"
The bitcoin mining machines that Lip continues to buy, because they are bought second-hand, the cost is not very high, and a total of 3,000 US dollars has been invested.
The batch of Chinese goods that were sold by Flack and Monica was sold for about $4,000 and about $6,000.
There were also drum kits, guitars, and basses in the band's practice area, and although Lip bought second-hand goods, they were worth thousands of dollars.
This is not counting the daily mining income of bitcoin mining machines, Lippe's mining machines can now mine one bitcoin a day, according to the current value of bitcoin, one is only worth ten dollars, but according to a few years later, the value of bitcoin at the peak of the price is as high as 18,000 dollars!
In other words, Lip's surface loss this time is nearly 10,000 yuan, and the long-term loss is as high as more than 100,000 US dollars!
Frank and Monica, here in Lip, aren't worth the price!
It's not even worth being angry!
Lip took another deep breath to suppress his anger and continued, "Where's the money?"
Frank quickly emptied his pocket, holding a handful of change and coins, and in Monica's pocket, there were still some whole bills, and Lip took it and counted them, a total of more than three hundred.
Lip glanced at the gifts stacked on the coffee table in the living room, and asked, "How much did it cost to buy these things?"
Frank and Monica looked at each other, and this time Monica replied, "Almost...... There are five hundred. ”
"Hehe!" Lip sneered, "You two didn't spend the money yourself this time, and remember to buy us gifts, which is not in line with your usual style!"
Frank's mouth moved, and he didn't dare to say anything light, for fear of angering Lip.
Monica's current mental state is not normal, on the one hand, it is a bipolar episode, on the other hand, it is the sequelae of hanging around with Flack outside these days, her brain is confused, and she doesn't think how serious this matter is.
Frank is afraid of angering Lip and completely tearing his face with him and being sent to prison by him, Monica is not worried about this, first, she is not afraid of going to prison, and second, she does not believe that Lip will send her to prison.
Seeing Lipp who suppressed her anger and tried to keep her calm, Monica thought she had passed his level, and said with a smile, "It's me! I remember you, I didn't spend all the money, I kept some of it, and bought gifts for each of you!"
"This dress is Fiona's, this shoe is Ian's, this Barbie is Debbie's, this football is Carl's, and the outfit is Liam's. ”
"A few of them, each of them only has one gift, only you have two, this is a coat, this is a pair of jeans!"
Looking at Monica's face, Lip frowned and asked, "Monica, are you taking your medicine on time now?"
"Take the medicine? Why should I take the medicine? What medicine should I take? Try this jacket and see if it fits, I fell in love with it at first sight, you must look good in it." Monica looked at him.
Lip took another deep breath, grabbed Monica's coat in her hand, slammed it to the ground, pointed at Monica's nose and scolded, "Is this what you said about being a good mother?
