Chapter 130
At the Zhao family's old house, although the event was significant, almost no one came to watch. Even those who did were keeping their distance because a police jeep was parked in front of the Zhao family's house. Now that things had escalated to such a level, and Uncle Hat had already arrived at the scene, those who came to watch dared not risk offending him.
Wang Guixiang was slumped at the door of the main room, biting her lip, her face ashen, and she was explaining something to two police officers from the local police station—Zhang Yi and Li Er—through gritted teeth.
Zhang Yi was taking notes in his notebook when Li Er asked, "Wang Guixiang, you said your granddaughter Zhao Da'e took your family's bankbook. No, it was stolen by your granddaughter Zhao Da'e, but you also said Zhao Da'e doesn't live at your house. What's going on? Did she run away after stealing the bankbook, or has she never lived at home at all? Also, you need to specify the exact date the bankbook was lost. It's been such a long time since it was lost in the last few days of winter, a whole month!"
Most importantly, we just checked your bedside table, and it was locked. But there were no signs of forced entry. How did Zhao Da'e open it?
Zhao Tiesheng, who had been away for some unknown reason, rushed home. Upon arriving, he witnessed this scene and hurriedly asked, "Mom, what happened? Why are you saying the goose stole the passbook? And you even brought the police here? The goose didn't live at home, nor did it enter your room. How could the goose have stolen the passbook? Let's stop this commotion, we can't let this go wrong!"
Besides, what's the big deal? Why call the police? This is a family matter; why go to the police station? Even if the passbook is really lost, even if you say the goose took it, we can just get it back, right? Why call the police?
Zhao Tiesheng was utterly baffled. No matter how big the matter was, even if it involved two different parties, it was unusual for someone to go straight to the police station without even giving a heads-up.
Early in the morning, Zhao Tiesheng heard Zhao Tingxu, Zhao Dage, and Wang Guixiang saying that their bankbooks were lost. Zhao Tiesheng didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly, the police station came to their door shortly afterward.
Most importantly, Wang Guixiang said that Zhao Da'e took the passbook, and Zhao Tiesheng couldn't take it anymore, so he questioned his mother.
"Mom, have you thought this through? Don't talk nonsense. If this gets out, the reputation of our goose will be ruined." Zhao Tiesheng frowned. "Without any evidence, you can't just say that my eldest daughter stole it."
Zhao Tiegang chimed in from the side. Ever since he learned that his family had money and then lost it, he had been feeling uneasy. Zhao Tiegang's thoughts were simple: the day Zhao Yongbo mentioned that his grandparents had lent tens of thousands of yuan to his younger sister, Zhao Tiegang took it to heart. Later, when there was a quarrel at the old house, Zhao Tiegang joined in the argument.
Zhao Tiegang's reason was simple: even if it was only 30,000 yuan, wouldn't he and his second brother, Zhao Tiesheng, have to split it equally?
Although Zhao Tiegang didn't do any work, he was determined to get his share of the money. Seeing that the old lady, Wang Guixiang, was acting unreasonably, even falsely claiming that Zhao Da'e had stolen the bankbook, Zhao Tiegang was skeptical: "Mom, my second brother is right. We're all family, there's no need to call the police. Even if Da'e really took it, my second brother can talk to him, and Da'e will return it. But Mom, you called the police, and this whole thing is just..."
"What kind of grandmother calls the police on her own granddaughter for stealing? Everyone outside is watching. If word gets out, how will the goose ever face anyone again!"
"Zhao Laosan, shut up!" Wang Guixiang snapped. "What do you mean, 'dear grandmother and granddaughter'? Wasn't it Zhao Da'e who sent me in last time?"
