Hearing his answer, I couldn't understand it and asked him: "You used up the five thousand yuan commission so quickly?"
He raised his head and suddenly became silent again.
I didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so I had to threaten: "Cheng Xiaohu, let me tell you, if this matter is not resolved like this, you will go to jail!"
He was frightened, finally raised his face and looked at me, and said anxiously: "Are you going to jail?"
I sneered and said, "What do you think? Selling counterfeit goods is illegal. Even if the amount you sell is not large, it is food! The nature is different."
His face became more and more ugly, and his tone became humble: "Dashan, you have to help us! I can't go to jail."
After Cheng Lu heard this, she also said to me with a tearful voice: "Da Shan, please help us, we know we were wrong."
I sighed heavily and said, "This matter has been resolved. We only need to pay 10,000 yuan in compensation and apologize to the public, so you don't have to bear any responsibility."
"But the problem is, I really have no money now."
I was speechless: "Then answer me! A few days ago, when you sold fake honey, didn't the other party give you a commission of 5,000 yuan? Where's the money?"
He finally realized that the paper could not contain the anger, and murmured back: "I have used up all the rewards given to the female anchor, and even some of my own savings."
I almost cursed because I saw that he had been watching live broadcasts on his mobile phone a while ago, and I also saw him tipping female anchors.
But I thought it was just a small amount of money at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. Now when I asked about it, I found out that he had lost all the money!
Even Cheng Lu, who has a gentle personality, couldn't hold back her anger and said: "Brother, why are you like this! Our family is already poor, how can you repay me? You let me down so much!"
Cheng Xiaohu lowered his head again. I don't know if he really regrets it now or if he can't face the result.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at me again and said, "Da Shan, we are a family, you can't just sit back and do nothing, right?"
I laughed: "What do you want to do?"
"I know you have money there, can you help me advance it first?"
I spread my hands and said, "I'm broke, where will I get the money?"
"Didn't the county give you three million before? You haven't used up all the fruit saplings and farm tools you bought! Can you just help me first?"
I didn't think about it at all, so I waved my hand and said, "Don't even think about it. That's money given by the government to so many villagers in the township. Although it's with me, I don't dare to misappropriate a penny."
"I just want you to borrow a little, and when I fill up the gap, I'll give it to you after I make money."
I still didn't think about it and said, "No, don't talk about it anymore. I can help you find a solution regarding the money, but you have to give me a guarantee."
Cheng Xiaohu nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, what do you want me to promise?"
"Write me a letter of guarantee that you will never take Cheng Lu with you to sell things online again, and that you will never give rewards to female anchors. Also, if you can't work in the production team for me, then you
Any mistakes you make in the future can only be borne by you, and I will never care about you again."
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and replied, "Okay, I agree."
"Don't agree so quickly. I'm not joking with you this time. You have to let me know that the consequences of this matter are more serious than you think!"
He nodded heavily and said, "I know, I really know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again!"
So I walked out of the interrogation room, called Jiang Tao aside, and said to him a little embarrassedly: "County Magistrate Jiang, there is something I want to trouble you with."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"I want to borrow some money from you, me"
Before I could finish speaking, Jiang Tao said cheerfully: "Okay, do you want a fine of 10,000 yuan?"
I nodded, still a little embarrassed and said: "I'm really embarrassed to ask you to borrow money, but once I have the money, I will return it to you as soon as possible."
He smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can go to the bank with me and I will get it for you."
"Thank you, County Magistrate Jiang."
Following Jiang Tao to a nearby ATM, he first took out a bank card and clicked to withdraw money, but it showed that the balance was insufficient.
So he checked the balance and found that it was only more than 4,000 yuan.
Seeing this, I immediately said to him: "County Magistrate Jiang, if it's troublesome, forget it and I'll go find someone else to borrow it."
He looked back at me, smiled and said: "Do you think I only have one card? Don't worry, I have other cards."
As he said that, he took out another bank card and inserted it into the ATM. When he checked the balance, he still found that it was only two thousand yuan.
He started to feel a little embarrassed, and I was so embarrassed that I was too embarrassed to speak.
He looked back at me and smiled awkwardly, and said: "These two cards have been useless for a long time, and I don't even know there is no money in them. Don't worry, I still have them."
He took out the extremely broken wallet again, took out the last card and inserted it into it.
This time the balance showed 7,000 yuan, so he withdrew it all at once, and by the way, he also took out 3,000 yuan from the previous card that had a balance of 4,000 yuan.
He just scraped together and took out 10,000 yuan for me. It can be seen that he is actually very poor.
But he insisted on lending it to me, no matter what I said.
I am really embarrassed. He is so poor, and I asked him to borrow 10,000 yuan. Now he probably only has 3,000 yuan in those two cards.
After getting the money, we went back to the police station and handed all the money to the police.
After signing, the police released the two siblings, Cheng Xiaohu, but also asked us to shoot a video to apologize to the public.
Although they are not Internet celebrities, they are selling live online on a short video platform after all, and they should apologize to the public.
Fortunately, this matter has been completely resolved, and I have been completely benevolent to Cheng Xiaohu.
If he does this again in the future, I really have no choice but to let the law teach him a lesson.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Tao, I took Cheng Xiaohu and my brother and sister back to the village.
The chatter in the village was still going on, and Cheng Xiaohu and his sister had kept their heads down since they returned to the village, as if they were afraid of being recognized.
I know they have no face to see people. This is the case in the countryside. They are all villagers who look up but not down. It is understandable that they have no face to see people when something like this happens.
After returning home, the two of them closed the door tightly for fear of hearing the rumors.
I have to divert everyone's attention. As long as I divert the attention of the villagers, they will not continue to talk about Cheng Xiaohu and Cheng Lu.
Also, this matter must be explained to the villagers, otherwise they will never be able to raise their heads.
With the consent of the two brothers and sisters, Cheng Xiaohu, I informed the village chief to gather everyone together.
