Chapter 173: A trifle is over, Xu's mother's emotional offensive

"Hey, right, right, right." The old man clapped his hands excitedly, "How did you know, it's just a small basket, I thought about that grass at the time, it was almost falling apart but still in use."

Seeing that Jiang Xingyan had described the specific characteristics at a glance, Qiao Xiangye spoke lightly, "Xingyan, do you know?"

"Well, I just took a casual look."

Jiang Xingyan mentioned Xu's mother, and when Jiang Xingyan said this, the rest of the people also remembered that yes, they had stayed downstairs for so long.

Not many people came out, but Xu's mother matched what others said.

Old woman, there is also a small basket, as for the mutton and so on, they didn't see it.

Now that everyone has a certain direction, with Qiao Xiangye's consent, the two policemen took the old man to identify the person.

The Xu family welcomed an uninvited guest, and the door kept ringing. Xu's mother turned over impatiently, "Xiaomei, you didn't hear the door ringing, go open the door."

Grandma had to listen to her. Xiaomei reluctantly got up and opened the door. She was stunned when she saw the two policemen.

Her mind was blank, and she kept thinking about whether she had committed a crime recently?

"Who... are you looking for?" Xiaomei asked tremblingly.

Seeing her granddaughter's useless look, Xu's mother also walked over. When she saw the old man at the door, her face turned pale, and the whole person seemed to be baked in a steamer. It was obviously winter, but she was so scared that her back was sweating.

"It's her, it's her." The old man was very excited and pointed to the police beside him, "She is the one who took my mutton."

"Comrade, we are police, please cooperate with our work." After the two police showed their ID cards, Xu's mother was so scared that her legs went limp.

She pushed the door for help and shouted into the house: "Dajun, Dajun--"

The sound was like a robbery. Xu Dajun, who was dozing in the house, opened his eyes instantly, changed his clothes in ten seconds, and looked towards the door with energy.

When he saw the police, he was also confused, "Who are you looking for?"

The old man repeated what happened just now. Xu Dajun's heart skipped a beat and his eyes were fixed on his mother.

Seeing the other party's panic and the guilt in his eyes that could hardly be hidden, he almost wished he could disappear on the spot and not get involved in this matter.

He Xu Dajun is a soldier, and his mother is a thief who likes to steal other people's things. If Xu Dajun is exposed, he will not be able to stay in the army anymore. He should pack up and go back home to farm.

In front of the police, Xu's mother did not dare to lie. She was an old lady in the village and had never seen a policeman in her life, let alone the police coming to her house.

She fell to the ground with a tilted body, paralyzed with fear and dared not move. She pulled her son's pants and cried, "Son, son, mom was just confused for a moment, mom didn't mean it."

"Don't arrest me and put me in jail. I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again in the future."

Xu Dajun rubbed his forehead, anxious and angry. The incident had already happened. What else can he do?

That's his biological mother. You can't really arrest her, right? Otherwise, the topic of discussion tomorrow will be their Xu family.

Xu Dajun wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. According to the procedure, Xu's mother should go with the police. However, looking at the person crying and paralyzed on the ground, the police didn't want to take on this hot potato.

If the old lady is not feeling well, the police will still be held responsible. Besides, who doesn't want to go home early to accompany his wife and children during the New Year?

Xu Dajun and the old man settled the matter privately. Xu Dajun gave the old man 50 cents and reluctantly gave him a two-foot cloth coupon, and then he coaxed him away in a good tone.

After the people left, Xu's mother was still crying softly. In one day, she had no money for smoking and drinking, and she also lost a cloth coupon. Even if Xu Dajun listened to his mother again, he would have a lot of opinions in his heart at this time.

"Mom, we have enough food and drink at home, why do you want to steal other people's things?"

Xu Dajun was pacing around the living room furiously. When he realized something was wrong, Xiaomei had already quietly brought Xu Jindan into the house. At this time, there were only the two of them in the living room.

Seeing her son getting more and more angry, Xu's mother got up from the ground and started to be aggressive, "I'm doing this for our family."

"It's not easy for you to make money alone, Dajun. Your niece and I came here, and the burden on your shoulders is much heavier. In addition, your wife is pregnant and there are two children. How can our family survive if I don't think carefully?"

"Yes, mom is not good. Mom stole other people's mutton. Mom embarrassed you. Dajun, you don't have to chase me away. I will leave tomorrow."

Xu's mother's tone gradually became low. She talked about the days when their family depended on each other in the countryside. Xu Dajun felt sympathy and didn't think of quarreling with his mother for a while.

Instead, he apologized sadly, "Mom, I am useless and I didn't let you live a good life."

Mother Xu hugged her son and said, "You can't say that. My Dajun has been a filial son since he was a child. Everyone in the village says that I have a good son and will enjoy his old age in the future."

Under the emotional attack of Xu's mother, Xu Dajun really foolishly thought that he was wrong. If he didn't have enough money, his mother would not have taken other people's mutton.

In the final analysis, it was because he didn't work hard enough and didn't let his mother live a good life.

Many people knew about the farce of the Xu family. There were also many people eating downstairs. One word from each person was enough to embarrass the Xu family.

In the next few days, Xu Dajun didn't even dare to go out. Xu Jindan went out happily, but ran back crying to complain to his father, "Dad, they don't want to play with me, saying I'm a thief."

Xu's mother was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her face had gained a layer of fat after being in the army for a few days, "Who said that? I'll tear his mouth to pieces."

Xu Jindan also knew that his grandmother stole things and was a thief. Thinking that the people below didn't play with him and laughed at him, Xu Jindan pushed his grandmother out.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault."

Mother Xu was about to yell, but Xu Dajun covered his ears with a headache, "Mom, just say less. This is not a glorious thing. Do you want everyone to know?"

The people in the family compound were relatively smart. Although everyone knew it, they kept it in their hearts and didn't say anything openly because they were in a situation where they and the Xu family would meet each other.

Mother Xu stayed at home for several days and was almost covered with hair. She dared to go out only after seeing that there were no rumors in the building.

After Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan got engaged, they also had a status. In this era, there was no difference between engagement and marriage. Everyone tacitly agreed that the two would get married soon.

So Jiang Xingyan entered the house openly and rested with Chu Sangning. In the past, due to his reputation, he had to come home secretly.
