Chapter 58: Li Lijuan Robs Things (Part 2)

Saying that, Ma Yumei reached out her claws and scratched the men a few times. She then pulled Li Lijuan over and asked with concern, “Lijuan, what’s wrong with you? Tell mom what happened, did these guys bully you?”

Facing Ma Yumei, Li Lijuan looked very aggrieved and burst into tears.

Ma Yumei was shocked by this sight and angrily questioned the three men who came with Li Lijuan, “What did you do to my daughter? Bullying my daughter like this, if I don’t report it to the police, I’ll have you all arrested.”

The leader of the men coldly snorted, “This sister-in-law, while it’s true that we laid hands on your daughter, you need to see what your daughter did.

“At such a young age, instead of learning properly, she actually learned to steal and rob, and even laid hands on an elderly person.

“If it weren’t for several neighbours helping out at home today, our food would have been taken by her!

“Today we came to ask you, as parents, how do you usually educate your daughter?”

As he spoke, the man recounted the incident of Li Lijuan stealing food today, especially the fact that Li Lijuan actually laid hands on his elderly mother, which he couldn’t tolerate.

Ma Yumei was dumbfounded when she heard this.

What?

Her daughter went out to steal and rob other people’s things?

In this day and age, anyone who does such things will definitely be criticised to death once they’re caught. Especially if they’re found guilty by the police, they will be labeled as bad elements and discriminated against and bullied.

Could this silly girl really have done such a thing?

“You… What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is very honest, how could she do such a thing?” Ma Yumei said angrily, but she looked uncertain.

Zhao Weiguo also felt that this matter was very serious. With a serious expression on his face, he asked the man who had just spoken, “Yes, comrade, are you mistaken? Although this child has a bit of a temper, she wouldn’t do such a thing. Is there any misunderstanding here?”

The man snorted lightly, “Of course not mistaken. I can find several witnesses for this matter. If you don’t believe me, ask this girl yourself if what I said is true!”

Seeing the man speaking so confidently, Zhao Weiguo looked at Li Lijuan and asked her.

“Lijuan, is what this comrade said true? Did you steal someone else’s food?”

At this moment, Li Lijuan didn’t say anything, she just kept crying.

Seeing Li Lijuan’s appearance, Zhao Weiguo and Ma Yumei almost understood. People didn’t lie, Li Lijuan really went out and stole someone else’s food.

Zhao Weiguo was quite angry. Li Lijuan usually had a bit of a temper, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, she was just a child. But now that things had escalated to this point, Zhao Weiguo felt that Li Lijuan must be properly educated.

However, educating Li Lijuan was not the priority now. The priority was to give an explanation to the men who had come to their door.

So they quickly apologised to the men and promised to educate Li Lijuan well. Today’s behaviour was indeed Li Lijuan’s fault.

But the men were not so easily appeased. Instead, they said, “This incident today has caused injury to my elderly mother. We don’t ask for anything else, we just hope you can compensate us with five yuan, and we’ll consider the matter settled. Otherwise, I’ll have this girl arrested and taken to the police!”
