Qin Huairu really hated this mother-in-law. Didn't she know what was going on? Didn't she see that she was using a self-torture tactic? If she didn't beat or scold her now, would she really send her to the police station to be taught a lesson?

Qin Huairu could only take a few deep breaths in secret, then turned around and said with tears streaming down her face: "Uncle and Aunt Tuanzi, please forgive my Banggeng this time for the good relationship between our two families!"

Yi Jiale didn't buy it, and said coldly: "If you don't want to go to the police station, it's ok. It's 200 yuan to settle it privately. Sign the receipt."

Yi Jiale had thought it over carefully. According to current laws, although theft is illegal, the amount of theft is small and usually does not constitute a crime. It will only be punished by public security management, including warnings, fines, and administrative detention. If the circumstances are minor, only verbal or written warnings will be given. In addition, considering Banggeng's age, the administrative detention period should be very short. If he is released after only a few days, it would be better to ask for more damages so that the Jia family will feel the pain. (In 1972, the country was in the planned economy period, so the theft of 40 yuan did not constitute the standard for theft in terms of amount. It would only be punished by public security management, such as warnings, fines or administrative detention, rather than criminal punishment.)

"You little whore, what are you talking about? You clearly only stole 200 yuan from you, and you still want yuan, and you haven't even got it yet. How dare you ask for such a high price!" Jia Zhang jumped up and pointed at Yi Jiale and scolded him.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it any longer, so he walked over and knocked Jia Zhang's hand away: "If you curse again, Jia Zhang."

"Your whole family is whores."

Looking at the dark pupils in Yi Zhonghai's angry eyes, Jia Zhang didn't dare to say another word, for fear that if she cursed again, she would be beaten by Yi Zhonghai directly. Jia Zhang's intuition was very accurate.

If she dared to scold his daughter again, Yi Zhonghai would really take action.

Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and said without hesitation: "Send him to the Public Security Bureau! This matter cannot be let go so easily!" His voice was firm, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes widened, her face full of grief and indignation. She suddenly let out a shrill cry: "Mom, can you shut up? Do you really want Banggen to be locked up in the police station?" Tears slid down her cheeks, and she looked extremely miserable.

"You are his grandmother! How can you treat your grandson like this?" Qin Huairu continued to cry, her voice trembling, "Can you bear to watch him go down a dead end and bear a stain on his back for the rest of his life?"

However, no matter how Qin Huairu begged, Yi Zhonghai remained unmoved. In desperation, Qin Huairu fell to her knees at the door and opened her arms to block the way for everyone. She cried, "I am willing to pay 200 yuan in compensation! I will write you a receipt now! Please don't send Banggen to the police station!"

Seeing Qin Huairu's determination, Yi Jiale was finally slightly moved. He nodded slowly and said, "Okay, since you are willing to compensate and sign a receipt, we can temporarily not pursue it this time, but if there is a next time... Humph!"

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as the respected masters in the courtyard, if they let this family scandal get out, not only would they lose face, but they would also lose the title of "advanced" that the courtyard had always maintained and would fall on other courtyards. Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and felt fortunate that the matter was resolved peacefully.

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Huairu wrote a note in front of everyone to compensate Yi Jiale 200 yuan.

Jia family.

Qin Huairu dragged her exhausted body and slowly walked into the house, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and every step seemed extremely heavy. After she returned home, she couldn't even say a word, and fell directly on the bed like a deflated ball, leaning her head weakly against the wall, but tears flowed uncontrollably like a flood that broke through the dam.

The three children standing by looked at their mother so sad and upset. Although they wanted to say something to comfort her, when faced with the scene before them, they opened their mouths but ultimately did not know what to say.

At this time, Jia Zhang came out from the inner room. Seeing Qin Huairu in such a state, she not only had no sympathy, but also yelled angrily: "Alright, alright, who are you showing off your desperate look to? Don't think that shedding a few tears can solve the problem!" Then, she continued nonchalantly: "In my opinion, we won't pay the money. I want to see what they can do to us!"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu, who had been silent and crying silently, could no longer bear it. She turned her head suddenly, sat up straight, and yelled at Jia Zhang with her eyes wide open: "What can you do? Don't you know anything? They can put Banggeng in jail! Once there is a criminal record, it will be a stain for life! When Banggeng goes out to find a job in the future, which unit will want someone with a criminal record? I'm afraid he can only do those hard jobs that can barely make a living for the rest of his life. Moreover, if Banggeng wants to go to the countryside to work in the production team, because of this stain, he will definitely be assigned to the poorest and worst conditions to suffer. At that time, let alone marrying a wife and starting a family, it is unknown whether he can come back alive! If that happens, your Jia family will be extinct! "

Jia Zhang was so frightened by the serious consequences Qin Huairu described that her face turned pale and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

Jia Zhang was frightened for a moment, and she covered her chest in fear, then she said angrily: "Why are you yelling at me? Just now outside, you didn't yell at others, but now you are yelling at me, an old woman, at home."
