Chapter 124

"Old Lady, you clearly knew..."

Jia Zhangshi exploded on the spot.

Deaf Old Lady clearly knew the pumpkin was stolen and even threatened them that if they didn't give her pumpkin to eat, she would tell Wan Ping'an they stole the pumpkin.

Now.

Deaf Old Lady bit back and pushed all the responsibility onto them.

Jia Zhangshi of course wasn't willing.

"Jia Zhangshi, shut up, don't talk nonsense."

"If there is something to say, say it; if not, don't talk nonsense. The consequences of talking nonsense are very serious, do you understand?"

Yi Zhonghai was anxious; Jia Zhangshi was going to bite Deaf Old Lady in.

This wouldn't do.

In his anxiety, he couldn't care about much else and warned Jia Zhangshi.

"Yi Zhonghai, you really think you can cover the sky with one hand as the First Elder? Such obvious threats and intimidation—do you take us all for fools?"

Wan Ping'an mocked and ridiculed.

"I'm not threatening; I'm just reminding Jia Zhangshi to tell the truth."

Yi Zhonghai of course wouldn't admit it.

"I deceived Deaf Old Lady, saying the pumpkin was a gift from someone else; she was unaware from the beginning, and it has nothing to do with her!"

Jia Zhangshi bit her teeth and took Deaf Old Lady out.

She wasn't stupid.

She was very clear that to stay in the Sihe Academy, she couldn't offend Yi Zhonghai, otherwise she wouldn't have a good life.

"Patrol comrade, if the Jia family's charges are confirmed—I mean if—how many years will they have to go to jail?"

Wan Ping'an asked.

"If it's true, three years is the starting point."

The old patrolman replied.

Thump!

Jia Zhangshi collapsed on the ground.

Jia Gensheng and Jia Dongxu weren't much better.

"Patrol comrade, is it true that as long as Wan Ping'an doesn't pursue it, we don't have to go to jail?"

Jia Zhangshi asked tremblingly.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the old patrolman.

The old patrolman's answer related to the fate of the Jia family, and everyone was very curious to know if the Jia family really had to go to jail?

"If it's not pursued, the prison disaster can be avoided, but they will be detained for a few days."

The old patrolman nodded.

When they handle cases, in most cases, they focus on mediation; only for some vicious cases do they take people back directly.

"Ping'an, we have lived in the same courtyard for so many years after all; give our family another chance!"

Jia Gensheng knelt to Wan Ping'an again.

"Good, I'll give you a chance!"

"Just now, Jia Zhangshi demanded compensation: one hundred yuan, plus one hundred pumpkins, a total value of two hundred yuan."

"I'll let the three of you go; the three of you each pay two hundred, give me six hundred yuan, and at the same time, apologize to me in public."

Wan Ping'an proposed the requirement.

Buzz!

The scene boiled over.

"My god, six hundred yuan, Wan Ping'an is really opening his mouth like a lion."

"Old Jia's annual salary adds up to only seven hundred; Wan Ping'an opens his mouth, and it's equivalent to Old Jia working for nothing for a year!"

"Wan Ping'an is ruthless enough!"

"You can't say he's ruthless; it was the Jia family who extorted Wan Ping'an first; they deserve it."

"Wan Ping'an is a ruthless person; don't provoke him in the future, otherwise you'll be bankrupt!"

Everyone was very surprised.

At the same time.

A trace of fear toward Wan Ping'an arose from the bottom of their hearts!

"Six hundred?"

"No money, not a single cent!"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned red.

Want her to pay money?

No way!

"I'm not forcing you, but have you considered the consequences?"

"If your family goes to jail, your husband will definitely be fired; the Rolling Steel Factory won't want someone with a criminal record."

"Our house also belongs to the Rolling Steel Factory and will be taken back."

"When you come out of jail, you'll have a criminal record, definitely won't find a job, and won't have a place to live; I see your whole family becoming beggars."

Wan Ping'an sneered.

Not giving?

If you don't give money, you'll go to jail first, then the whole family will go begging.

"Sob sob sob, you are too ruthless; I'll give it, I'll give it, okay?"

Jia Zhangshi cried in fear.

She went home to get the money.

Pay first, then apologize in public.

The old patrolman announced that the Jia family of three would be taken back in a while, detained for three days as a warning.

"Yi Zhonghai, Deaf Old Lady, don't you also want to give me an explanation?"

Wan Ping'an didn't want to let any of them go.

"Wan, I'm already at such an old age, my hair is white; you want me to apologize to you, can you afford it?"

Deaf Old Lady was angered.

She was an old woman; asking her to apologize to a young brat—where should she put her face?

Can't apologize!

"Ping'an, don't you know how to respect the old?"

"The Old Lady is at such an old age, she is your elder; can you bear to make things difficult for her?"

Yi Zhonghai started moral kidnapping again.

Quite a few people nodded.

It made some sense!

"Old Lady, don't apologize to him, let's see what he can do?"

Shazhu glared at Wan Ping'an.

He had recovered, but the eggs that were kicked just now were still aching faintly, and he didn't dare to make big movements.

Without half a month of recuperation, he wanted to recover completely.

"Ping'an, the Old Lady is old after all; I think let's just let it be!"

"That's right, if the Old Lady gets excited and gets sick, can you bear it in your heart?"

"Why do I feel the Old Lady should apologize?"

Neighbors.

Mostly thought one shouldn't force the Old Lady to apologize.

"Let me in!"

A voice came from outside the crowd.

A woman in her forties or fifties, with short hair, looked very capable.
