The bossâ voice was a little loud, and Yang Jingyi jumped in shock as she subconsciously grabbed the corner of Ji Zixuanâs shirt.
Seeing this, Ji Zixuan protected Yang Jingyi while pulling Ji Yuanyuan behind him.
In the supermarket, Ji Ziâang heard the bossâs scolding.
When they came in, the woman was in a corner, so Ji Ziâang thought there were only four of them in the supermarket.
Therefore, when the boss opened his mouth, he was stunned for a moment.
Then, he threw down his things and came out.
He thought the boss was scolding them.
When he came out, he realized his eldest brother and younger sister were standing there perfectly fine.
At the door, the young boss grabbed the womanâs clothes and scolded her again in a low voice, âTake it out. Donât make me say it a second time!â
The woman was wearing patched clothes, and her sandals were almost torn.
Her hair was unkempt and her face was sallow.
Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised to see her dressed like this.
In the past few years, everyone had lived a good life. It was really rare to see such tattered clothes and shoes.
âYouâre not taking it out, right? Then just wait. 1â11 call the police now!â the boss was so angry that he dragged the woman to the cashier to make a call.
When the woman heard this, she finally became anxious. She took out the things in her arms and handed them to the boss, âDonât call the police. Iâll return it to you!â
It was a pair of pink sandals with diamonds and a bow.
The shoes werenât big, so they should be for children.
The boss lowered his head and looked at the shoes on the womanâs feet, then at the shoes in her hands.
âHmph!â after a moment, the boss snorted, âYou really stole my things. Do you think you can just apologize? Fortunately, I discovered it, what if I didnât? Did you just want to take my things and leave? No, we have to call the police!â
He was a man, so he had a lot of strength. He dragged the woman to the cashier.
He grabbed onto the womanâs clothes tightly. Then, with a rip, the womanâs clothes tore.
The boss was stunned for a moment, but he still did not relent.
He let go of the clothes and grabbed the womanâs wrist.
Next to the cashier, he reached out and was about to press the phone number to call the police.
The woman became anxious when she saw this. Suddenly, she knelt in front of the boss with a thud, âBoss, 1 beg you, please donât call the police, please donât call the policeâ¦â
Not only the boss, but Ji Yuanyuan and the rest were also stunned.
It was said that men had gold on their knees, but so did women.
Kneeling down for a pair of shoes, wasnât that a little too easy?
There was no one else in the shop other than Ji Yuanyuan and the other three.
âBoss,â Ji Zixuan advised, Ask her to pay up. Why donât we forget about it?â
In this situation, even if the police came, it would be useless.
At most, he would give a warning and inform her family to come and get her.
âThat wonât do. If she can steal from me today, she can steal from others tomorrow. I have to call the police and let them teach her a lesson!â after a short moment of shock, the boss quickly recovered and said angrily.
âBoss, it wonât happen again.â The woman knelt on the ground and grabbed the bossâs hand that was about to reach for the phone, âMy daughter got first place in the class. She wants a new pair of shoes. 1 donât have money, so I was possessed. Please donât call the policeâ¦â
The boss snorted coldly, âIf you donât have money, donât wear it. If people without money can steal things, will there still be law in this world?â
The boss shook off the womanâs hand and pressed the call to the police.
The police station in town was only a few hundred meters away. In less than five minutes, the police arrived.
Seeing the police, the woman was even more frightened. She knelt on the ground and trembled.
The police officer entered and frowned when he saw the situation, âWhat happened? Even she steal from you, he canât make you kneel on the ground. What did you steal? How much is it worth?â
âI didnât ask her to kneel,â the boss hurriedly explained, âShe knelt herself.â
One of the young police officers stepped forward and was about to help the woman up, âBig sister, get up and tell me, what exactly is going on?â
However, the woman was kneeling on the ground and did not get up at all, âI donât dare, I really donât dare. 1 beg you, let me goâ¦â
âWhat did you steal?â the older policeman looked at the boss and asked impatiently.
âHere, this one! She had it in her arms when she left. I almost didnât see it!â the boss reached out and pointed at the pink sandals.
When the older police officer saw the pair of sandals, he was a little surprised.
After being a police officer for so many years, he had probably seen everything.
When the young policeman saw the pair of sandals, he was a little surprised.
âHow much is this pair of shoes?â the young policeman asked.
âThis pair is six yuan.â The boss replied.
The older policeman wrote something on the paper and then looked at the two of them, âThe two of you, come back to the police station with us.â
âBig Sis, get up first. The amount involved isnât high. When the time comes, you can ask your family to come over and pay up. It wonât be a problem once you sign the papers.â The young policeman explained carefully and reached out to help the woman up.
When the woman heard his words, her expression became even more frightened.
Suddenly, she fell to the ground with a thud and her head hit the ground heavily.
âPlease, I was just confused. My man was injured at the construction site and collapsed on the brick bed. I just want to buy a pair of shoes for my daughter. I was confused for a moment. Please donât let my man know about this. I beg youâ¦â
The womanâs head hit the ground several times. Ji Yuanyuanâs heart palpitated when she heard that.
âHow pitiful!â Yang Jingyi muttered to herself as she looked at the woman.
Ji Yuanyuan carefully observed the womanâs hand, which was full of calluses and cracks.
âOfficer, this Auntie didnât do it on purpose. Why donât I help her make up the money and donât inform her family?â Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and discussed with the older policeman.
She felt this woman was not a repeat offender. If she was, she wouldnât have just stolen a pair of worthless shoes.
In the supermarket, there were things that were more valuable than shoes, but she didnât touch them. Perhaps she really did have a paralyzed husband and a cute daughter who was good at her studies at home.
If that was really the case, then if she helped the woman now, she might be saving a family.
Even if the woman was lying, no one would lose anything. She was the only one who lost six yuan.
Six yuan was not a lot to her. She would just treat it as if she had lost it!
The older police officer refused, âNo, youâre not her family. You have to have her family come.â
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything and merely looked at the young policeman beside him.
The young police officer looked like he had not been working for long and was full of enthusiasm.
If he could help say a few words, the older police officer might be able to make an exception..
