Father and mother Zheng confirmed immediately. When they thought about how the three of them had been revolving around her for a period of time and now they got nothing, the three of them wished they could eat Shao Mingzhu alive.
Shao Mingzhu was rummaging through the suitcase upstairs at this time, but all the skin care products she brought with her were gone. The suitcase was in a mess, with only a small part of her clothes left, and her bag was completely missing.
Shao Mingzhu hurried downstairs and asked, “Who touched my luggage?”
Mother Zheng rolled her eyes at her and said, “Who would care about such a small thing as yours?”
Shao Mingzhu heard something wrong in her words and her eyes suddenly froze. She saw the collar of Zheng’s mother’s clothes exposed and she recognized that it was her clothes.
“These are my clothes!” said Shao Mingzhu.
Mother Zheng immediately said, “What do you mean by yours and mine? Everything is mine once you enter my house. You are a new daughter-in-law and you haven’t been back to your in-laws’ house for ten years. When you come back, you bring some cakes. Do you have the nerve to give them away?”
As she spoke, she actually tried to forcibly take away Shao Mingzhu’s clothes.
Although Shao Mingzhu was angry, she still managed to stay calm and said, “These are my clothes. You stole them without my consent.”
“Bah! What you said are so harsh. You are my son’s wife. What’s yours? These are also my son’s things. So what if I took my son’s things!” Zheng’s mother said righteously.
Shao Mingzhu looked at Zheng Yaozu.
Zheng Yaozu naturally protected his mother and said, “It’s just a piece of clothing. What’s the point of making a fuss? You live and eat for free at home. Mom has worked so hard to take care of you during this period of time. What’s wrong with taking some of your clothes?”
When Shao Mingzhu heard this, she stamped her feet in anger and said, “If she wants clothes, she can ask me for them instead of just taking them like this!”
Originally, Shao Mingzhu was very pampered in the Zheng family, but now she has discovered that everything has disappeared with Shao Yu’s bankruptcy, and the little expectation she had in her heart has gradually disappeared.
“How do you talk to me? Do you still have me, your mother-in-law, in your eyes?” Mother Zheng stepped forward and pointed her finger at SHao Mingzhu’s forehead and cursed.
Shao Mingzhu was poked by her and her body was tilted.
Mother Zheng continued, “We don’t keep idle people at home. Whose daughter-in-law doesn’t work? Go and cook!”
Zheng’s father also helped to bully Shao Mingzhu, not at all as attentive and considerate as before.
Shao Mingzhu stood still.
Zheng Yaozu pushed her directly. Although he didn’t use much force, he made her stagger.
Shao Mingzhu turned around and climbed up the stairs again.
Zheng Yaozu immediately chased after her, and saw that the first thing Shao Mingzhu did after going upstairs was to make a phone call: “Officer Chen, my mother-in-law stole my clothes and a lot of other things, which are probably worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in total.”
Zheng Yaozu immediately grabbed the phone and tried to hang up the call, but Shao Mingzhu yelled, “What are you doing!”
Officer Chen on the other end of the phone had not yet reached the police station. Hearing the sound of pushing and shoving coming from the phone, he could only urge his colleagues to turn back again.
“This is someone else’s family affair. Is it really a good idea to interfere too much?” his colleague asked uncertainly.
Officer Chen is in his early thirties. He didn’t know what he was thinking. He said, “We should try to take care of it. Although her husband looks well-dressed, what if he does something?”
His colleague wanted to say something else, but another old colleague pulled him back and then sent him a message to explain.
Family matters are always troublesome and very difficult to deal with, and this is especially evident between husband and wife. Sometimes, after a wife lectures her husband, the wife will start to blame him for meddling in her affairs because she feels sorry for him.
Because of these reasons, most of the time they are unwilling to get involved in these matters, except for Officer Chen, who is particularly concerned about this kind of thing and does not care even if he is blamed.
The reason why Officer Chen cares so much is because his sister is a victim of domestic violence. His sister died due to domestic violence by her husband three years ago.
The police car turned back again, attracting the attention of many people in the village.
Zheng Yaozu didn’t expect that the police car would actually come back.
When Shao Mingzhu saw the police car, she felt like she had found her backbone. She cried and said, “I just want to leave here. I want to go back to Shencheng. I want to find my dad, but I have no money. My clothes were taken away by them…”
Officer Chen immediately comforted her and said, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, everything will be fine.”
Shao Mingzhu continued, “I have to sell my clothes and bags. In addition to raising money for my trip, I also have to help my father pay off his debts. My father can’t be a deadbeat…”
Although Shao Mingzhu was crying all the time, her thoughts were very clear and she knew exactly what she had lost.
Officer Chen listened patiently and asked his colleagues to take notes.
As a young lady, Shao Mingzhu’s clothes were naturally not cheap. Although she didn’t know the prices of many things, she was able to look up the prices through the Internet. Therefore, the value of her case was as high as hundreds of thousands.
Seeing that the police officer seemed to be serious, the Zheng family also began to panic.
Zheng Yaozu frantically winked at Zheng’s mother.
Mother Zheng could only take off the necklace secretly and said, “I’m just trying on the clothes. I don’t intend to keep them for myself.”
“Mingzhu, my mother is just joking with you. She doesn’t really want to snatch it away.” Zheng Yaozu also coaxed.
Shao Mingzhu looked at the family, but did not want to let go, but said: “I lost more than one piece of clothing.”
Zheng Yaozu winked at his mother frantically again.
Mother Zheng did not move, thinking that the other things were hidden well and Shao Mingzhu would not be able to find them.
But Officer Chen said, “If I can’t find it, I can apply for a search warrant. As long as it’s still in this house, I will definitely be able to find it.”
