Chapter 517 The Tang Brothers Are Arrested

Hearing Tang Cuixiang say this without any hesitation, "You paid?"

"It's not just about giving money; you have to spend even more to return the gift. If you don't accept it, then refuse to meet with us."

Xiao Jiu didn't quite understand: "Then why did you accept it in the first place?"

Cuixiang said helplessly, "He comes at unpredictable times. Knowing that I won't see him when he comes looking for me, he uses his friend to deliver it to me."

They even said something like, "If you don't want it anymore, you can throw it away," and then left without looking back. What am I supposed to do?

If I really just threw it away like that, wasn't it still something I threw away? Don't I still owe him?

I've become numb to his persistence. The current situation is that he knows I don't like him, so he's very obedient, reducing our meetings and only sending gifts.

Xiao Jiu sighed, "He probably thought you were joking before."

“No, when he came to see me after the New Year, he said, ‘I don’t care what you were like before, I only care about what you will be like in the future!’”

"So, what do you think, Sixth Sister?"

"What do you think? Just give up. His aggressive pursuit isn't without its benefits; now nobody at work is interested in me anymore."

Let's just wait and see who outlasts whom. I don't believe someone his age can wait for me!

That's what I said, but... "I think Sixth Sister, you can change your mindset, after all, you're a girl now."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cuixiang rolled her eyes at her and said, "Come on, you're not me. This is a mental illness, it's not something you can overcome so easily."

When the topic of dinner came up, Cuixiang declined without much interest.

"I've been a bit tired and not feeling well these past few days, so I don't want to go. Have you bought your train ticket? I'll take you tomorrow."

"I haven't bought anything yet, so there's no need to send you. If you don't want to go, just go back and get some rest."

As she spoke, she took out a watch and handed it over. Cuixiang raised an eyebrow: "What's this?"

"Here's the spoils of war. This is a Japanese brand, but I've removed the logo."

Please check carefully before you put it on, to see if there's anything I might have missed.

Tang Cuixiang doesn't have any magic tricks to keep, so Xiao Jiu has to give her a few extra words of advice.

"Okay, thanks then. It looks pretty new. I'll get rid of my old one later."

Although watches come in men's and women's styles, for Cui Xiang, a man, the men's style suits her mood better.

When I returned home for the recent drinking session, each of my sisters gave me a watch. The seventh and eighth sisters haven't started working yet, so they didn't dare to wear them openly.

These watches were all taken from the people on the island; she had about twenty similar ones.

The researchers inside, in particular, almost all had one, while the poorest were the soldiers guarding outside.

She secretly kept one for the young man too. He's a college student, so he needs to be punctual. He needs this watch more than anyone else.

If he weren't studying in the provincial capital, I might have given him a bicycle.

She gave me the chrysanthemums earlier, and with the bicycle she gave me before, everything is complete.

When she got home in the afternoon, she and Yuanyuan fried a large basin of fish pieces and sent some to the Weng family elders, Tang Cuixiang, and Tao Qing.

The first thing Cuiju asked her after getting off work was, "Did you secretly do something when you got home?"

Xiao Jiu raised an eyebrow. "Did your brother-in-law call?"

"What did you really do? My older sister had her husband call me and said something big happened at the Tang family's place in Taoyuan Village."

Although my brother-in-law didn't know it was you who did it, my sister made him explain it to me so clearly, she must have wanted me to confirm with you.

What exactly did you do?!

Xiao Jiu pouted, "I didn't do anything, it was just that it was so hot at night, so I went for a walk."

"I also caused Tang Jiabei and Tang Jiaqian some trouble. What? Has the truth come out?"

"Many families in the village have had things stolen, and they all reported it to the police. Even the village chief and the brigade leader's houses were robbed."

After investigation, the police finally identified the Tang brothers as the suspects.

Some villagers noticed that they had been eating better recently and even saw their wives secretly reselling things on the black market.

With more clues, it became easier to investigate. In just three days, they turned both families upside down.

A lot of stolen goods were found, and with all the evidence, there was no way to deny it, so he was taken away immediately.

Tang Cuiju looked at Xiao Jiu with admiration: "You really don't make a move unless you're absolutely sure of it, but once you do, you leave me in awe!"

"What's the big deal? It's their own fault for being greedy for small gains. If they find out and call the police, it won't affect them!"

I took advantage of them thinking they were being kept in the dark, and they willingly fell into my trap.

Even if you had ten mouths, you couldn't explain it all. This time, they robbed almost every family with some power in the village.

"By exposing their belongings to the police and villagers, do you think these two families can survive in the village?"

But that wasn't what Cuiju cared about. "How did you know where someone else's treasure was hidden? And how did you manage to move it out so easily?"

"There are only a few places where treasures are hidden in the house. Do you believe me if I say I'm just going by intuition?"

Maybe I was born with the ability to find treasure? Anyway, as soon as I enter their yard, I know where the treasure is hidden!

Of course, I didn't dare steal everything. Stealing a little from each family was enough to get those two brothers into serious trouble.

This time, not only will they be sentenced to prison, but they won't be able to stay in the village anymore. What family can tolerate a pickpocket relative staying in the village?

What could Cuiju say after hearing this? She could only silently give a thumbs up.

"My brother-in-law handled the case personally, and even told the whole village that he was speaking on behalf of his wife to say that he would come over to repair the house in a few days."

Now that I've moved in with my son-in-law, I can't keep staying in another village, so we should go back to our village.

The house has been invaded by something unclean; it needs to be repaired before we can move in again. We'll have to trouble everyone in the village to help us then.

Upon hearing this, the village chief and team leader immediately promised to help clear the filth out of the house soon.

When these words were spoken, the Tang and Qian families were in the crowd. Their faces turned red and then white, and they ran away crying.

The villagers nearby were making sarcastic remarks about the two families, saying, "You have your own homes, why do you insist on living in someone else's? Move out right now!"

How could Cao Amei not see this as an opportunity?

He immediately shouted, "If you want my house, that's fine, but can I also live in your old house?"

After all, once that wall in the middle of the old house is demolished, wow, it's much bigger than my house!

Anyway, your mother and sister have disappeared somewhere. If you're not moving, I'm taking over!

The two brothers were arrested at the same time, and the two sisters-in-law were targeted by the entire village.

If they had any sense, they wouldn't dare to take their children and occupy someone else's house again.

So it's only a matter of time before this matter is resolved.

However, Xiao Jiu looked at Tang Cuiju in surprise: "Big sister, is she really planning to move back to Taoyuan Village? Aren't you afraid of running into Cao Amei?"
