However, in order to avoid filing a case, Zhang's mother used her connections to find the person who bought the items.

The other party had already boarded a train bound for another place, carrying two sacks.

After the police boarded the train, they stated their purpose, but the other party refused to admit it.

"I bought the items legally, and I paid for them in person. Why do you say I have anything to do with the theft? I'm just a shopper, and I spent money to buy things. Is this a normal procedure? Do I have to ask before buying things, are your things stolen? There's no such thing anywhere!"

The other party refused to admit it, and the police could not yet produce sufficient evidence to prove that these things were from Xu Wanning's cosmetics store.

Besides, the other party did deliver the goods in exchange for money, so there was no problem at all.

In the absence of evidence, the police had no choice but to let the man go.

As a result, Zhang Wenting's brother and sister-in-law failed to get the goods back and fell into trouble again.

At this time, Han Rui gave another solution.

Since she has sold her things, all she needs to do is give her enough money for the cosmetics.

As for the hairpins that were stolen from her, Han Rui said she would not pursue the matter.

She had already made back her costs and even earned a little extra. Besides, they were just two or three hairpins, so if they were lost, they were lost. She had a good relationship with Zhang Wenting and didn't want to embarrass Zhang Wenting because of a few hairpins.

However, the loss of cosmetics must be borne solely by Zhang Wenting's younger siblings.

"We counted and found that the total value of all the cosmetics is 6,700 yuan. You just need to pay this 6,700 yuan and the matter will be settled."

Zhang Wenting said this expressionlessly, but her brother and sister-in-law's expressions changed.

"Why? You're asking for too much! How could those cosmetics be worth so much?"

She only sold it for over a thousand dollars!

Zhang Wenting asked for more than 5,000 yuan!

Where did she get the money?

"More than six thousand, Zhang Wenting, are you sure you are not robbing people?" Zhang's mother was also very excited.

Zhang Wenting still had no expression on her face. She just handed the cosmetics store's account book to the police.

"This is the account book of our cosmetics store. We check the accounts every day. It clearly records how much goods are in the store and how much each category of goods is sold for. There is no such thing as asking for too much."

The police checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the price of more than 6 yuan, so they said to Zhang's mother and her husband, "Either you pay the money or we'll open a case."

Mother Zhang glared at Zhang Wenting fiercely and said to the police: "It is not easy for us to collect so much money. Can you give us a few days to raise the money?"

The police looked at Zhang Wenting.

Zhang Wenting and Han Rui looked at each other.

Now, everything in the cosmetics store, except the money locked in the cabinet, has been stolen.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without makeup tools, they have no way to put on makeup even if customers come to them.

Moreover, Xu Wanning is in the laboratory and no one knows when she will come out. Although the matter of the cosmetics store is important, it seems not worth mentioning compared to Xu Wanning's research.

So, Zhang Wenting and Han Rui discussed it and decided to close the cosmetics store for a few days, and gave them three days to raise money.

After three days, if the thief fails to raise enough money, he will be punished accordingly.

After the police left, Zhang's mother cursed at Zhang Wenting.

"I worked so hard to raise you, but before I could even enjoy your filial piety, I gave you a generous dowry and married you off. Mom doesn't ask you to give much to your family, but you can't be so ungrateful, can you? You caused your brother and sister-in-law to go to jail, and brought shame to our Zhang family. What good will it do you!"

If it were in the past, when Zhang Wenting heard what her mother said, she might have reflected on herself in her heart.

But after going through so many things, Zhang Wenting has seen through it all. There is no place for her in her mother's home anymore.

She said to her mother expressionlessly, "I've already told you that the cosmetics store belongs to Aning, and I'm just an employee. What right or qualification do I have to make decisions for Aning? This matter doesn't make sense no matter where I talk about it!"

"Besides, she hasn't even entered the house yet, how can she still affect the Zhang family? Then I have to say that this is your choice to lose face and rub her on the ground. What does it have to do with me?"

The mother and daughter had a quarrel in front of everyone and their relationship was completely broken up.

After returning home, Zhang Wenting immediately told her second aunt what happened in the cosmetics store.

After listening to me, the second aunt just said, "You are right. After all, the cosmetics store belongs to Aning. We are not qualified to make decisions for Aning. But Aning is in the laboratory and we can't contact her. Let's go to your third aunt's house first and talk to her about this matter."

After Xu's mother learned about this, she just asked Zhang Wenting worriedly: "You have completely torn your relationship with your family this time. Wenting, your parents..."

"From the moment they schemed against me, they no longer treated me as their daughter! Now she even slapped me in public for a thief daughter-in-law who hasn't even married yet. The little mother-daughter relationship between us has long been destroyed by her!"

Xu's mother and second aunt knew that Zhang Wenting was unhappy, but they were the elders after all, and it would not be a good idea to really fall out with Zhang's father and mother because of this matter.

It would be embarrassing if it got out.

"As for Aning, I will talk to her in person after she comes out of the laboratory. We can't let Wenting break up with her family completely because of the loss of the cosmetics store."

"I think so too. Although I despise what Wenting's mother does, she is her biological mother after all. If we really cut off the relationship, Wenting will feel bad. As for Aning's loss, your second brother and I will think of a way. We can't let the child suffer."

Xu's mother wanted to say that although the loss of the cosmetics store was worth more than 6,000 yuan, the cost was estimated to be at most 1,000 yuan. After all, this thing really has huge profits.

Xu Wanning didn't care about the more than one thousand yuan and didn't need any compensation.

But this opportunity can be used to establish Zhang Wenting's authority in her mother's family.

I don't ask Zhang's father and mother to love Zhang Wenting unconditionally as before, or at least not to bully her at every turn like they do now.

Even if her parents don't love her, once she arrives at the Xu family, she will become their treasure!

Second aunt and Xu's mother considered Zhang Wenting from the perspective of elders, but Zhang's mother was really not a human being.

Before Second Aunt and Xu's mother found Zhang's mother to tell her about this, they heard the news that Zhang's mother had taken it upon herself to sell the house registered under the names of Xu Maoting and Zhang Wenting.
