Chapter 1018: This Is Too Terrible!

Facing the police officer's confirmation, Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and gritted her teeth: "That's right, it's two hundred!"

The police officer thought his ears were having problems at this time.

"An old lady living in the best villa of Tang Chen Yi Pin would call the police for two hundred yuan? Something's not right..."

Thinking of this, he muttered to himself: "Could it be that rich people talk like this, calling two million two hundred? Last time at the class reunion, the rich second generation in the class was like this too. He clearly had a Rolls-Royce worth over five million, but when talking about money, he just said 'five hundred something', could this be a common problem among rich people?"

But thinking of this, he was a little puzzled: "Logically speaking, this old lady has assets of over 100 million. Even if she lost two million, she wouldn't be so excited, right?"

So, he looked at the old lady again and said: "Hello, old lady, let me confirm with you again. You said your daughter-in-law, this Qian Hongyan, stole two hundred from you. Does this two hundred refer to two million?"

"No." Old Mrs. Xiao said: "It's just two hundred yuan, two hundred RMB, cash, two one-hundred-yuan notes!"

"Ah?!" Several police officers' chins almost fell to the ground.

The leading one said awkwardly: "Old lady, your eldest daughter-in-law took two hundred yuan from you, and you want to call the police to catch her?"

Old Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows and asked: "What? Is it not allowed? She stole my hard-earned money, can't I call the police?"

The leading police officer said awkwardly: "It's allowed, but I have to tell you a basic legal common sense. According to the definition of theft in our country's law, the sentencing condition for theft is that the amount involved must reach the standard of a relatively large amount."

As he spoke, he explained: "The threshold for this relatively large amount is over one thousand to three thousand yuan. If it doesn't reach this standard, it's impossible to pursue criminal responsibility."

Old Mrs. Xiao frowned and said: "What the hell?! She stole my hard-earned money! Do you know that I worked hard all day yesterday and only earned one hundred yuan in wages! I was slapped, and someone else compensated me one hundred yuan! And this two hundred yuan is the money for our family of four to eat dumplings for the New Year!"

The police officers were all stunned, thinking to themselves: "Is this old lady joking with us? Living in such a big villa, calling the police for two hundred yuan? And this two hundred yuan is one hundred earned by working and one hundred earned by being beaten? Ordinary people wouldn't be this poor, not to mention she lives in such a big luxury villa? This is too magical!"

However, he could only explain patiently: "There's no way, old lady. This is clearly stipulated by law. If the other party only stole two hundred yuan from you, we really can't file a case. We can only register it for you first. If she reaches the filing standard because of other things in the future, we can try to help you recover the loss."

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "Then I remembered wrong! She didn't steal two hundred yuan from me, it was two thousand!"

The police officer said awkwardly: "How much money she stole from you depends on the investigation of the case. Even if you say it's two thousand now, we file a case, and the person is caught, and finally find out that you are lying and the other party doesn't reach the filing standard at all, then you have to bear legal responsibility for your lies."

As he spoke, the police officer reminded her: "And, old lady, I have to explain to you again. Even if it reaches two thousand yuan, it's only control, not detention. Do you understand what control means? The other party is not detained, but their personal freedom is restricted to a certain extent, and they are regularly subjected to community correction. By then, they might be required not to leave Jin Ling, or not to leave the street where your villa is located, and then do some community correction, and they will basically pass."

"What?!" Old Mrs. Xiao blurted out: "Your management is too loose, right?! This is theft!"

The police officer sighed helplessly: "Let's put it this way, old lady, theft is indeed a crime, but whether to pursue responsibility also has a degree. If a student comes to report that a classmate stole an eraser worth one yuan, should we go catch the person? That's not appropriate!"

After speaking, the police officer added: "Old lady, if your daughter-in-law only stole two hundred yuan from you, we really can't file a case. It's just that she stole too little. Even if she sold the TV in your house, calculated according to the price when you bought the TV, it would be enough to file a case. But she didn't steal your TV after all!"

The police officer was just using the TV as a metaphor, but Old Mrs. Xiao suddenly thought of the incident where she, Xiao Hailong, and Xiao Changgan sold the TV in Wu Donghai's villa, and felt a chill on her back, nervously asking: "Police officer, if you steal a TV worth 100,000, how will it be sentenced?"

The police officer said seriously: "If this TV is really worth 100,000, that's a particularly huge amount. As long as the case value of the theft reaches 60,000, the basic sentencing standard is ten years. On this basis, for every increase of 4,200 yuan, the sentence is increased by one month. If a TV is worth 100,000, it's about eleven years of fixed-term imprisonment."

"What?!" Old Mrs. Xiao was scared silly!

"Stealing a TV and getting eleven years?! This is too terrible!!"

"Fortunately, Wu Donghai didn't call the police at that time! Otherwise, at my age, I would probably die in prison directly..."

Inside the room, Xiao Changgan and Xiao Hailong lying on the bed were also scared by these words.

Xiao Hailong trembled all over, and then Xiao Changgan felt a burst of damp heat coming from the bed sheet, asking: "Hailong... you... you peed the bed?!"

Xiao Hailong said with a bitter face: "Dad, I'm scared... stealing a TV means eleven years, this is too scary..."

Xiao Changgan sighed helplessly: "Hey! Scary is scary, but don't pee the bed! Now it's good, my pants are wet..."

Xiao Hailong's mouth flattened, his voice choked: "Dad... I'm sorry... I really couldn't hold it... I promise it won't happen next time..."

Xiao Changgan nodded bitterly and whispered: "Listen to what the police officer says outside... Your grandmother is really something! Calling the police for two hundred yuan! What's the point! If she accidentally tells about selling the TV, it might implicate everyone..."

At this time, Old Mrs. Xiao was also a little panicked.

She really didn't expect that Qian Hongyan stealing two hundred yuan from her wouldn't even reach the filing standard.

But her family stealing and selling Wu Donghai's TV was enough to be sentenced to more than ten years, which really scared her.

The police officer saw that the old lady's face was wrong, and thought the old lady was just angry, so he said: "For this matter, you should try to handle it within the family. To be honest, two hundred yuan is not much in today's society. You don't have to hold on to it. There is still affection between family members. It's not worth falling out over two hundred yuan, don't you think?"

Old Mrs. Xiao sighed depressedly: "Fine, let's leave it at that. It's cheaper for that bastard!"

The police officer nodded: "As long as you can think it through, we'll leave first if there's nothing else."

At this time, Xiao Weiwei happened to bring the marriage certificate over and said: "Police officer, here is the marriage certificate."

Old Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "What marriage certificate, hurry up and send the police officers down!" ===== CHAPTER 1019 =====
