"Hey, forget it. If they are going to fight to the end and refuse to hand over the stolen money, what are we worrying about?"
"Haha, I just don't think it's worth it. If you spend two months or three months outside, if you don't have the ability, you can earn back the fifty yuan by spending a year? Why do you have to spend your whole life?"
"It's great to be in prison. It includes food and shelter, and also provides clothes and shoes."
"That's true. Others may think so."
The two policemen fell asleep while talking.
But Liu Xiaowei couldn't sleep.
The moonlight shone in through the high, cold iron windows, making him feel even colder.
He huddled up and regretted extremely: Li Wenjun can make money, that's Li Wenjun's ability, why should he be jealous, why should he reach out?
------
Early in the morning, Liu Tiezhu came to the police station again to deliver food to Liu Xiaowei.
After just one night, Liu Xiaowei's face turned pale, his eyes were dark, his cheeks were sunken, his hair was messy, and he looked like a ghost.
Liu Tiezhu was startled and asked: "Xiaowei, how did you become like this?"
Liu Xiaowei said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, I figured it out. Give the money to Li Wenjun quickly and let him redeem the things for me. It's not worth the fifty yuan."
Liu Tiezhu nodded hurriedly: "Oh, it's great that you figured it out. If you had figured it out yesterday, wouldn't it have saved you a night of suffering?"
Liu Xiaowei lowered his head to eat, then raised his head with tears in his eyes: "Dad, I have to be a good person when I go out."
Liu Tiezhu wiped away tears when he saw him like this: "Yes, we should be a good person. We are all deceived and did such a thing. Fortunately, we still have time to recover."
Liu Xiaowei added: "As soon as I come out, let's go back. I miss home."
Liu Tiezhu nodded heavily and said: "Okay, go home. I will go back to the guest house from here, take out the money, and send it to Li Wenjun, asking him to redeem the things as soon as possible, and you can come out."
----
Liu Tiezhu came back from the police station and walked quickly back to the guest house.
When he was getting the meal just now, he put his balls on Liu Cuihong's place. There was no one in the guest house room at the moment.
When he entered the room, he quickly locked the door, closed the curtains, and moved the bed against the wall.
Liu Xiaowei was afraid that someone would come to search him, so as soon as he got the money back, he pried loose the bricks on the baseboard of the bed next to the wall, and then stuffed the money inside.
Sure enough, the police came and searched several times but couldn't find it.
He pried open the brick, only to find that it was empty.
My mind went blank, as if I had been struck by lightning.
With his hands and feet cold and his vision dark, Liu Tiezhu collapsed on the ground and murmured: "Impossible? Where is the money? Why is the money missing?"
There is no way to redeem things without giving money to the repair shop.
If the things cannot be redeemed, Liu Xiaowei will go to jail.
If he told Liu Xiaowei that the money was missing, Liu Xiaowei would never believe him.
After all, when Liu Xiaowei hid the money, he and Dandan were the only ones in the house besides Liu Xiaowei.
Ah, yes, balls!!
That little brat was clamoring yesterday that he wanted to use the money to buy candies and biscuits. Could it be that this kid secretly took the money while he was asleep at night?
Liu Tiezhu hurriedly stood up on the bed, opened the door and trotted towards Liu Cuihong's house. After entering the door, he called: "Dandan, Dandan, where are you? Little bastard, where are you hiding?"
Liu Cuihong was working inside when she heard the sound and came out to see: "Eh? He was playing here just now."
Liu Tiezhu was so anxious that he grabbed Liu Cuihong's arm: "Tell me, where has he gone? The little bastard stole my money. That's money to save his father Liu Xiaowei."
Liu Cuihong was stunned, tilted her head, thought for a moment, and patted her thigh: "Oh, no, I heard him say that he was going to the supply and marketing store to buy candy, and I thought he was talking nonsense. He couldn't take advantage of me when I wasn't paying attention.
Let's go. You should go after him quickly. Go out to the west and follow the road for one mile. The supply and marketing store will be on the right."
"Damn, it's true that good people don't learn and only learn bad things. You learn to steal things so quickly." Liu Tiezhu cursed and staggered out.
Li Wenjun just came back, pointed at Liu Tiezhu and asked Liu Cuihong: "Uncle, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Liu Cuihong shook her head and sighed: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Dandan stole Liu Xiaowei's stolen money to buy candy."
Li Wenjun was stunned and couldn't laugh or cry: "Sure enough, what kind of person he is and what kind of children he teaches."
Liu Cuihong was very anxious: "Hurry up and take a look. Your uncle is almost sixty years old. If he gets angry in a hurry or something happens to his balls, we won't be able to handle it."
Li Wenjun patted the back of Liu Cuihong's hand: "Don't worry, Mom, I'll follow you right away. There won't be any trouble."
------
Liu Tiezhu chased along the road anxiously, and then he saw Dandan in front of the counter of a supply and marketing store a mile away.
Dandan held a stack of money, pointed at the items on the counter and said to the salesperson: "I want this, this and this, give me a big bag of them."
The salesperson said: "Kid, why do you come out with so much money alone? Where are your parents? Without tickets, buying these things is very expensive."
Dandan said: "Don't be afraid, I have money. I have five 'Great Unity' cards, look. This is all money earned by my father. My father stole so much in one morning."
The salesperson was even more surprised: Why does this child talk like this?
Liu Tiezhu cursed in his heart, rushed forward, grabbed the money, grabbed his balls, put them on his knees, and slapped his buttocks three times.
"You're such a heartless person, you can steal money at such a young age. You dare to steal this money to buy something to eat. If I don't kill you little brat, I'll see if you dare to reach out in the future."
The salesperson was startled and said hurriedly: "Eh? Why do you beat the child indiscriminately?"
People passing by also stopped and said angrily: "Do you have anything to say? Why educate children like this?"
Dandan cried loudly: "You are allowed to steal money, but I am not allowed to steal money? Even if you steal money, you will not buy me food. I want to take it, I want to take it. I want to buy candy, I want to buy biscuits. Those
You only have food to eat at my aunt’s house, and you’re still robbing me.”
When Li Wenjun saw a crowd of people gathered in front of him, he hurried over and rescued Dandan from Liu Tiezhu's hands: "Uncle, calm down and talk to the child."
Liu Tiezhu had been frightened and tired these past few days, and was so scared that he couldn't sleep at night. This time he was stimulated, and all the suppressed shame and anger burst out. He collapsed on the ground, patted his thighs and cried: "What did I do?
What a sin. Sons and sons are like this, and so are their grandsons and grandsons."
