Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 115: They Only Paid the Price for Their Greed

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: They Only Paid the Price for Their Greed

Gu Jia Ning thought, it must be that there has been a result regarding the earlier matter with Lu Ping.

"Sister Gu~" Upon seeing Gu Jia Ning, Qin Tian’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

Gu Jia Ning also noticed that the little one’s mental state was obviously different from before.

"Come on, come inside with me." Gu Jia Ning called out, as it was still too cold outside and talking at the door wasn’t convenient.

"Ah, can I go in?"

"You can, just register and it’s fine."

"Alright."

After registering, Gu Jia Ning took Qin Tian home.

It was Qin Tian’s first time visiting Sister Gu’s house; he was very curious but only dared to sneak a few glances.

When he was invited to sit on the kang in the living room, warmth rushed over, making Qin Tian, who had been feeling a bit cold, feel much warmer.

"Here, have a piece of egg cake."

Qin Tian looked at the egg cake Gu Jia Ning handed him and quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I can’t take it."

This was an egg cake, something very precious.

"Why can’t you take it? If I give it to you, you should eat it. Your Sister Gu doesn’t lack these things."

In the end, unable to refuse Gu Jia Ning’s kindness, Qin Tian could only eat the delicious egg cake while talking about the events of the past couple of days.

The police quickly investigated Qin De and Lu Ping, because Qin Tian’s parents were important researchers for the Country and their families were supposed to be protected, yet Qin De and Lu Ping had embezzled eight years of their wages.

The amount was enormous.

"...The police officer said both of them will be sentenced to death." When saying this, Qin Tian’s voice lowered, and his mood was obviously not very high.

"What is it? Do you think the death sentence is too harsh for them?" asked Gu Jia Ning.

Qin Tian looked up, his eyes confused, even stopping his motions with the egg cake, "I, I don’t know either."

In fact, Gu Jia Ning could understand Qin Tian’s feelings, after all, those were two human lives, and Qin De had previously appeared in the Qin Family’s life as a benefactor, plus Qin Tian was just a child.

But...

Gu Jia Ning said seriously, "Little Tian, think about it, what would your family have become if this matter hadn’t been uncovered?"

Qin Tian looked up, listening carefully to Gu Jia Ning’s words.

"Do you remember when I told you that Qin De wanted to trick you into going to the wood factory? That was to sell you to human traffickers. Do you know what would become of you after being sold to traffickers?"

"Do you know what would happen to Granny Qin and Qin Qing if the Qin Family were without you?"

"Imagine, your parents are dedicating themselves to the Country. I believe they’re doing this not just for great love or solely for their love of scientific research, there must be a reason to allow them to live good lives."

"But they endured separation from their parents and children, only for others to benefit, while their own parents and children suffered. If they knew, how would they feel?"

"If your parents came back to see three graves, how painful would it be for them?"

In fact, through future visions, what Gu Jia Ning was saying now was what Qin Tian and others had experienced in a previous life.

Gu Jia Ning tried to put herself in Qin Tian’s parents’ shoes. If it were her, she might not be able to bear such a result.

"So, Qin Tian, don’t be soft-hearted. They are merely paying the price for their greed."

Listening to Gu Jia Ning’s words, Qin Tian seemed to envision those images as she spoke.

Gradually, he seemed to understand what Gu Jia Ning was trying to convey.

The conflict in his brow began to ease, and Qin Tian looked up and said, "Sister Gu, thank you, I understand now."

"As long as you understand."

Afterwards, Qin Tian started talking about other things.

For example, the human trafficker that Qin De contacted to sell him to Min City still hadn’t been found by the police; they were still searching.

The police also told Qin Tian after their investigation that because Qin Tian’s parents were important researchers for the Country, arrangements were made for someone to look after the Qin Family even if they were hastily called back at that time.

After all, only when the family back home is stable can researchers feel at ease working on research for the Country.

"...It was a retired military uncle living in the county."

It’s just unfortunate that not long after Qin Zhihong and his wife left, the retired soldier entrusted to take care of Qin Tian unexpectedly passed away in an accident half a month later.

If that person had been around, it’s likely Qin De’s embezzlement wouldn’t have succeeded and would have been exposed long ago.

"The police uncle also gave us 5,045 yuan..."

Talking about the money, Qin Tian’s eyes shone brightly; over 5,000 yuan was a very large sum for Qin Tian.

Of course, it’s 3,000 less than the wages mailed by his parents over eight years.

This 5,000 was recovered from the homes of Qin De and Lu Ping; since they embezzled the Qin Family’s money, it naturally had to be returned.

As for the 3,000 that was missing, it had already been spent by them.

However, the police took other items from their homes to offset the debt, like bicycles, sewing machines, radios, watches, and some furniture.

Anyway, even if the two houses were emptied, they needed to try to make up the 3,000 yuan.

Both households were nearly emptied, but the amount still wasn’t enough; even with a lot of grain later added, it wasn’t enough, as some of the money had been spent on food and perhaps other things.

The remaining shortfall was simply unresolved.

Although it wasn’t enough, Qin Tian was already very satisfied.

"Sister Gu, now my family has a lot of grain, enough to eat for at least half a year. Our house that was empty before is now filled."

"I even turn on the radio for Granny to listen to; she really enjoys it."

Granny Qin, after taking Gu Jia Ning’s medicine for three days, stopped coughing and got better.

The matter with Qin De created quite a stir in Kao Mountain Village, as it was rare for anyone in the village to be involved in something that required the police, especially now that Qin De had to face the ultimate punishment.

Thus, the villagers realized that even though Qin Zhihong and his wife were not home, and the Qin household consisted only of the old and the young, they were not to be messed with.

No matter who knew Qin Tian now had over 5,000 yuan, regardless of seeing so many goods in their home, no one dared to have any ideas, be it deceit or theft; no one dared even think of it.

Anyone who dared might just end up like Qin De.

Money is good, but staying alive is most important; who wants to meet their end over peanuts.

So, right now the Qin Family was very safe, to the point that the villagers feared something might happen to the three members of the Qin family, the old and the young. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Sister Gu, thank you and Brother Sheng. If it weren’t for you, my family might not be like it is now."

In the end, Qin Tian stood up, bowed to Gu Jia Ning, and expressed his gratitude earnestly.

He felt that Sister Gu had indirectly saved the lives of three people in their family.

He didn’t know if he would have the chance to meet his parents in the future, but if he did, he would certainly tell his parents about this.
