"Forget it, Uncle Wang, Zhao Yuxiang is a little petty thief, and in his opinion, taking his mother's things is nothing, anyway, my grandmother and I are about to leave, and if you stay away from them in the future, he won't have a chance to take it if he wants to."
Wang Yuan also knew that Zhao Xiaoling was just a granddaughter adopted by Grandma Zhao, and it was inconvenient for her to consider the problem, so in order not to embarrass her, he did not delve into this matter.
"Grandma, let's go cook in the kitchen, I have good news for you." Zhao Xiaoling interjected the topic and wanted to say something that made her grandmother happy.
Grandma went to the kitchen with her granddaughter and got the two pheasants together.
"Xiaoling, what good news did you just say?"
"Grandma, Uncle Wang helped me find a job and go to work in the steel factory in the county seat."
Grandma was a little incredulous, "Really? This policeman has nothing to do with us, how can he help you so much? ”
"It's what Chen Yifan, who came back with me that day, entrusted him to do."
"Who is that Chen Yifan? How did you meet him? ”
No wonder grandma suspects that Zhao Xiaoling herself can't believe that a person who meets in Pingshui will lend such a big helping hand to her.
She could only reluctantly explain to her grandmother, "Chen Yifan is Luo Daqing's comrade-in-arms, and Luo Daqing is from Nancun, because my aunt is also from Nancun, so I know him." ”
"Haven't you ever been to Nancun? How did you know the people of Nancun? ”
Zhao Xiaoling had been to Nancun in her previous life, and she was also Luo Daqing, who she knew in her previous life, so she could only lie, "I've been to Nancun!" And I have a classmate who is from Nancun, so I met this Luo Daqing. On the way back that day, I happened to meet them again, and they accompanied me back. ”
"Then you must thank that Luo Daqing, Chen Yifan, and this policeman Wang."
"Of course, they are my great benefactors, not just verbal thanks, when I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay them."
Going to work in the county is just an opportunity to leave here, a springboard, Zhao Xiaoling thought, according to her experience in doing business in her previous life and the conditions of rebirth, she must seize the opportunity to make a lot of money in the future, and when she has money, she can really repay those who have helped her.
To repay a person, you can't just have your heart, or just talk about it, but you have to take practical actions and show it, and if you don't have the strength, it's useless to say anything.
"Grandma, I want to go down the mountain to the city today, report to the steel factory tomorrow, and go to the school by the way to explain, and when I settle down there, I'll pick you up."
"You can go in peace! Now that my health is fine, the wheat harvest is finished, and there is nothing to do at home, you can rest assured to do your thing, don't worry about me. ”
"Grandma, I'm still not at ease, I'm not at home, will Zhao Yuxiang beat our idea of that bag of wheat? That's the two of us for the second half of the year. Gotta find a way to hide the wheat. ”
"Lock it in the cupboard!"
"That's useless, he'll pick all the locks."
"Then dig a pit in the house and bury it."
"Food will spoil if it's buried in the ground!"
"In a few days, I'll take it out and dry it again."
"I don't know if I go this time, it will be delayed for a few days, so it's not a good way, so I just let Police Wang go to Zhao Yuxiang's house to scare them, so that they don't dare to steal our things again."
"That's ...... All right? ”
"Grandma, if you are always used to his problem, we will leave in the future, he can't steal ours, go and steal other people's, others will not treat him as leniently as we do, he will be planted sooner or later, let's just scare him now, so that he will not commit it again, and behave in the future, this is also saving him."
"It makes sense to say this, then let Police Wang scare him, let him remember it longer, don't be confused anymore, but don't hurt him."
Zhao Xiaoling was helpless, she finally understood why she lived so tragically in her last life, she and her aunt are like grandma, too kind, unprincipled and good to others, but as a result, they can't recognize people, they are used, and they are harmed by the people around them.
This is the reason why many good old people are not living as well as they want.
The so-called good people are bad good people, and if they are cruel, they are actually stupid, or stupid, and the kindness without a bottom line is irresponsible to themselves. Because bullying and fearing evil is the root of human nature, and your weakness promotes the bad nature of others, and in the final analysis, you can only blame yourself for not protecting yourself.
Zhao Xiaoling only understood this truth after a lifetime of tragic experience.
"Grandma, there is also the matter of me going to work in the steel factory, don't go outside for the time being, when everything settles, we have to leave, and it's not too late to talk about it."
"Yes, if you don't say this, I know it, if the people in the village know that you have such a good opportunity, some people will probably feel uncomfortable."
Laughing at others for not being as good as themselves and jealous that others are better than themselves is a common problem for ordinary people.
"Yes, grandma, you know it."
Zhao Xiaoling mainly didn't want Zhao Shufen to know, in the past few days, she has asked her countless times to introduce her to men outside, and then let her know that she is going to work in the steel factory, maybe she will make any whimsical requests!
Zhao Xiaoling will not forget Zhao Shufen's ruthless indifference and hurt to her in her previous life, she doesn't want to spend time and energy to take revenge on her in this life, but she is not stupid enough to help her, treat her as a friend, and let her have another chance to hurt her.
Zhao Xiaoling and her grandmother were talking while cooking in the kitchen, and the courtyard door outside opened, and there was the voice of Zhao Yuxiang talking.
Zhao Xiaoling and her grandmother glanced at each other and poured out of the kitchen together.
Zhao Yuxiang stepped into the courtyard gate, rubbed his hands in front of Wang Yuan and said, "Comrade policeman, you are really here, I came to ask Comrade Police, where is my daughter-in-law?" Why didn't she come back with you? ”
"We are here this time to inform you that the results of Liu Guihua's case have come out, Liu Guihua plotted to kill her mother-in-law and poisoned the rice noodles her mother-in-law ate, which has constituted the crime of intentional homicide, and the crime is convicted, and she is now sentenced to 16 years in prison by the procuratorate."
The villagers who followed Zhao Yuxiang and stood at the door to watch the excitement exclaimed, "Sixteen years in prison!" ”
"How many sixteen years does a person's life have? When Liu Guihua came out of prison after 16 years, she would have become an old woman. ”
Zhao Yuxiang's face turned pale, and his body shook.
"Brother policeman, can't just say a few slanderous words based on Zhao Xiaoling, a dead girl, and let my wife go to jail, are you too biased in this matter?"
