In fact, Ge Liutao really didn’t understand why Song Xiyun would steal the orchid. She didn’t know the value of the orchid.
If Song Xiyun had stolen some snacks, that would have seemed normal to her.
As for the tears she just wiped away, they weren’t because she felt a loss, but because she never expected this relative would actually come to their home to steal, making her feel stifled and also afraid that Chiang Xiao would return and get angry.
Chiang Xiao nearly ran out of breath with indignation.
"Grandma, do you know how valuable my orchid pot is?"
Ge Liutao was stunned. "A pot of flower can be valuable? Is it worth five yuan?"
"Five yuan?" Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "You need to add a few zeros to that."
Chiang Songhai was also taken aback, "That pot of flower is valuable?"
"Of course, otherwise, why would I worry even to put it on the rooftop?" Chiang Xiao said, "No, I won’t go looking for her, I’m going straight to the police!"
"To the police?" Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were both stunned.
They were also angry at Song Xiyun’s behavior, but after all, she was a relative. Should they really take it to the point of involving the Public Security Office?
This time, Chiang Xiao was not willing to let Song Xiyun off the hook.
She called the police.
Thanks to the name of the factory where Chiang Baoguo worked, it didn’t take much effort for the Public Security Office to locate him.
Two Public Security Officers came to the factory to look for him, which immediately drew a crowd of onlookers.
This must mean he had done something wrong, otherwise why would they come to the factory to fetch someone?
The face of Chiang Baoguo’s supervisor darkened tremendously. Chiang Baoguo had gotten his job in the factory through the back door, but after entering, his capabilities were not particularly outstanding. On the contrary, he was always playing petty tricks. His supervisor had never liked him much, and now he even brought the Public Security Officers here!
"Chiang Baoguo, go out with these two comrades and cooperate with them!"
"Steward, I understand. I will. I really haven’t done anything. I’m a law-abiding citizen," Chiang Baoguo insisted repeatedly.
This was the first time Public Security Officers had come looking for him, and his face turned somewhat pale with panic.
"Come on, where is your wife? Someone has accused her of theft!"
"Theft?" Chiang Baoguo’s vision darkened, and he nearly fainted.
Song Xiyun, that vile woman! Incompetent and always screwing things up!
"Sir, might there be some misunderstanding? I will take you to her so she can explain everything to you. She has just come from the countryside to the town not long ago; maybe there’s been a misunderstanding..." Whilst Chiang Baoguo was cursing inside, he still had to calmly explain to them while leading the way to their rented place.
Song Xiyun was counting money in her hands, utterly delighted.
She had not expected to sell that orchid for two thousand yuan!
This was truly a large sum of money!
Those people must be out of their minds. Two thousand yuan could build a house, and yet they spent it on a flower pot!
"Mom, where did all this money come from?" This was the third time Chiang Caijiao had seen her counting money that day. She had an uneasy feeling in her heart. How did Song Xiyun come by this money?
"I told you, of course, I earned it!" With money in hand, Song Xiyun viewed Chiang Caijiao much more favorably. She thought that it was Chiang Caijiao’s cleverness yesterday that had distracted Ge Liutao, allowing her the opportunity to reach Chiang Xiao’s room.
However, that damn girl Chiang Xiao was really something, to have such an expensive orchid.
Maybe she should go back to their house and search thoroughly; there might be other valuable things to find.
If she could get another thousand yuan, she could afford a small second apartment in the county town!
By then, Chiang Baoguo would have to treat her better, to coddle her!
Just as Chiang Caijiao was about to ask how she had earned the money, they heard a loud bang as the door was kicked open.
