Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 993 - 994: Countryside Orphan Girl 38

Oh my God, when Zhang Yu heard this, she was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

This news was truly explosive, and everyone present was dumbfounded.

"Taking furniture from the furniture factory?"

"No way, this is like digging out the foundation of the factory."

Actually, everyone more or less sneaked some small items home from the factory, but they were all small things. Who dared to take big things? If something happened, it wouldn’t be a small issue.

Zhou Xia was dumbfounded. At this moment, she had only one thought, why did she give birth to such a wretch back then.

If she had known he would be like this, she should have drowned him right away.

Wang Pandi saw Zhou Xia was just staring angrily at Liu Jianshe without rebutting, and the old lady was so angry that she directly retorted, "No, no."

"How could my eldest grandson take this?" The old lady was anxious. Their family’s reputation was already bad. If even the eldest grandson got tainted, how could he find a wife?

It’s hard enough to find a rural girl, let alone someone from another region.

"The things Liu Yuanchao brought back were seen by the neighbors."

"Wasn’t it said they were purchased from the furniture factory?"

"Fine, show the receipt. If not, we can just go to the furniture factory." Liu Jianshe said calmly.

"You, you..." Wang Pandi knew those things were indeed taken by Liu Yuanchao from the factory.

If they investigated, her eldest grandson would definitely be in trouble.

The people who had been bustling just now, seeing the old lady suddenly back down, knew the young man was telling the truth.

"Why can’t I do it when even my parents can sacrifice their own family?" Liu Jianshe said fiercely.

Zhou Xia was completely crumpled. She pointed at Liu Jianshe, not knowing what to say.

If she had known it would result in this, she would never have called the police, never have asked for Liu Jianshe to be arrested.

Upon thinking of this, Zhou Xia immediately thought of a saving grace, "I won’t press charges, won’t press charges."

"Jianshe didn’t take the family’s money." Zhou Xia nodded heavily, "Yes, he didn’t take anything from the family."

Only by letting Liu Jianshe off could they avoid the eldest getting into trouble.

Zhang Yu shook her head repeatedly on the side. Was it now enough just for Liu Jianshe not to report it?

There were so many onlookers. Especially in this era, Zhang Yu knew the Liu family was ruthless when fighting internally. She just didn’t expect it would be this brutal.

Liu Qiang has these two sons, and now both of their reputations are ruined. Zhang Yu could guess how happy Liu Gang and his wife would be when they heard this news.

Liu Jianshe, holding onto the officers’ hand, kept insisting his son hadn’t taken anything from the family, feeling very down.

The reason he changed his stance wasn’t because of his son, but because of Liu Yuanchao.

"Mom, it’s too late, so many people heard what I said just now, do you think your precious eldest son won’t have trouble?" Liu Jianshe said flatly.

Zhang Yu found it surprising. She initially thought the boy would use the opportunity to have Zhou Xia drop the charges, but he was honest to a fault.

Liu Jianshe noticed Zhang Yu’s glance. If he could, he certainly wanted to have the charges dropped, but he couldn’t say it.

Zhou Xia looked around at the crowd, feeling dazed. What to do? She really regretted it now.

Since she realized she couldn’t control the situation, Zhou Xia’s face changed immediately, quickly standing up, "Regardless of what you say, after all, you took it."

Liu Jianshe interrupted, "Mom, think carefully. You only have two sons. You know what Liu Yuanchao’s charges would be."

"If I get in trouble too, who will the family rely on, Liu Li?"

"Or do you plan to be at my uncle’s mercy in the future?" Liu Jianshe was unperturbed now.

He knew he could firmly control the situation, no matter how much resentment Liu Qiang, Liu Dashan, and his parents-in-law had against him.

Does it matter? It’s not important at all.

Zhou Xia initially wanted to say something harsh, but the words wouldn’t come out. She wasn’t stupid; she knew Liu Yuanchao’s side couldn’t be saved.

Since the eldest was as good as gone, she could only save her only son, "Yes, yes, I was foolish, Jianshe did take things, it was me, it was me who took the thirty yuan placement fund."

No matter how unwilling Zhou Xia was, she could only swallow all her discontent.

The officers weren’t fools, a young policeman wanted to say she was just playing them, but a middle-aged man stopped him.

"Are you sure you want to let him go?" The middle-aged man stared at Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia knew things looked bad; one of the Liu mother-son duo would surely suffer.

Zhou Xia sighed softly, "Yes, I was mistaken."

"Fine, with one word, ’mistaken,’ we end up running to the Northeast. Back then at your house, you spoke readily."

"If you’re sure, you’ll have to undergo six months of reform." The man was straightforward.

Wow, Zhang Yu hadn’t expected things to turn out like this, knowing there wouldn’t be a good end, but still, it was this explosive.

She didn’t know what Zhou Xia would do, Zhang Yu kept clicking her tongue. She initially just wanted the Liu family to mess up internally, but didn’t expect it would be this intense.

Six months of reform? Zhou Xia inhaled sharply; going in for six months? How could she live?

She remembered being locked in for a few days before was unbearable, if it were six months.

Zhou Xia started to hesitate, between her son and herself? She knew that Liu Jianshe had long harbored resentment for both her and her husband and wouldn’t be good to them in the future.

Zhou Xia’s eyes landed on Zhang Yu, her eyes suddenly brightening. Yes, she didn’t just have two sons, she had a daughter too.

So what if her son was ruined, as long as her daughter was still there, it was fine.

Seeing Liu Jianshe’s smug look, she knew this youngest son had thoroughly marked her.

Zhou Xia’s anger flared up instantly, it wasn’t worth it for such an unfilial son.

"Withdraw the lawsuit." Liu Qiang heard people say Liu Jianshe had already been brought back, so of course, he rushed over, hoping Liu Jianshe would give up the money.

Unexpectedly, not only didn’t he retrieve the money, but the eldest was in trouble. Liu Qiang knew Liu Yuanchao couldn’t be saved, so he made a quick decision.

Which was to protect Liu Jianshe at all costs, he didn’t want in the end to be at the mercy of Liu Gang’s family.

As for after canceling the charges, Zhou Xia facing half a year of reform, Liu Qiang didn’t care at all.

If only she hadn’t given her job to her brother, Liu Jianshe wouldn’t be unemployed now.

Zhou Xia heard this voice, her legs went weak, "Dear, you, you..."

"I didn’t know you took Jianshe’s placement fund, I thought he had the money and was still taking things from home, and I just got angry."

"I never expected you could do such a thing."

Liu Qiang shifted all the blame to Zhou Xia. He had a job and definitely couldn’t get into trouble.

Zhou Xia looked at the man before her, pressing her to admit her faults, tears uncontrollably streaming down.

Happy New Year, good health, safety, and always smiling.
