Chapter 346 Conjoined Sisters: Family Ties Above All Else (6)
Upon seeing Su Dingding arrive, Tang Xuan immediately ran over.
Standing behind Su Dingding, she cried even more aggrievedly.
The blond-haired man and the leopard-print shirt glanced at Su Dingding, completely ignoring her.
"Officer, my sister runs her stall alone, and I'm worried about her, so I installed a surveillance camera in the car." Su Dingding took out her phone and handed it to the police officer.
Gangzi chuckled to himself; this was a surveillance video he had hastily created.
In the video, the woman in the leopard-print shirt not only touched Tang Xuan inappropriately but also tried to grope his chest, which is why Tang Xuan slapped her away.
Not only that, the blond-haired boy also stole money from the money box when he wasn't looking.
If they hadn't fought back violently, Tang Xuan wouldn't have been able to beat them up like this; they only had themselves to blame.
The police officer looked at them and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
"I didn't touch her!"
"I didn't take any money!"
Both of them swore they hadn't done those things.
This video is completely fake!
Tang Xuan opened the money box, and sure enough, there were only a few coins left inside.
"I have a total of 568 yuan here: two 100-yuan bills, one 50-yuan bill, four 20-yuan bills, and two 10-yuan bills..."
The police found the money on the blond-haired boy, and it was the same amount Tang Xuan had mentioned.
"Who put this in my pocket? This money isn't mine at all!" The blond-haired guy was so shocked he was incoherent.
The onlookers angrily cursed him.
That's outrageous! They actually stole a young girl's money!
No matter how they tried to deny it, the evidence was conclusive, and they were taken away.
Su Dingding accompanied Tang Xuan home.
"Sister, you were amazing today!" Su Dingding kept praising her.
Tang Xuan was still shaken and somewhat bewildered.
Did she really hit someone?
Thinking about it carefully, I'm actually quite proud of myself!
At least she was brave, and now she can protect her younger sister.
Back home, Su Dingding told Tang Xuan to take a good shower, and then she spent time with her eating something delicious to ease her emotions.
The parents got off work late, and when they heard what had happened that day, they didn't want the sisters to go out and set up their stall anymore, because it was too dangerous.
"Mom and Dad, it's okay. There are still more good people than bad in this world," Tang Xuan said earnestly. "Today, the police officer even gave me his phone number so I can call him if I encounter any danger again. And I also discovered that I'm a superhero!"
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment. Tang Xuan's temper had been driven to the point of hitting someone, which showed how helpless she was at the time.
It's all because she, as a mother, is useless; her daughter has to comfort them instead.
Tang Caocheng remained silent. They hadn't saved enough money for Tang Xin's surgery yet, and they were still in debt for over 100,000 yuan. If they had money, they wouldn't need to go out and earn it.
Su Dingding looked at them and coughed softly. It seemed it was time to unleash his ultimate move.
Hearing her cough, the whole family became anxious again.
"Xin Xin, are you feeling unwell?"
"I didn't wear a mask when I went out today, so I must have inhaled too much dirty air."
"It's my fault. Xin Xin wasn't feeling well and was resting at home. If she hadn't gone to find me, this wouldn't have happened..."
Su Dingding quickly reached out to stop them from blaming themselves.
“I’m fine. It’s just that when I was at home, someone called and said they wanted to buy the land where the fishpond is in our hometown. They asked if I was willing to sell. I couldn’t make up my mind, so I said I’d wait for my parents to come home from get off work and we’d discuss it. The person said they’d call me back once we’d decided.”
Tang Caocheng frowned. No one wanted that piece of land with the fishpond in his hometown even if it were given away for free. Who would be so foolish as to want to buy that land?
The sucker looked at his father and asked, "Dad, are you selling it or not?"
"How much is he planning to offer?" Tang Caocheng asked.
"Ten or twenty thousand yuan is the most you could ask for. They say the fishponds have dried up, can't hold water, and can't grow crops. What's the point of buying them?" Ye Lan also found it strange.
Su Dingding took out a piece of paper with a phone number written on it and handed it to Tang Caocheng. "This is that person's phone number. Why don't you call and ask?"
Although I felt there was little hope, it would be good to sell it for some money, since it was just sitting idle anyway.
So Tang Caocheng walked to the telephone, sat down, and started making a call.
Su Dingding chuckled inwardly, "Get ready to scream! This will be the Tang family's first windfall!"
After the call connected, Gangzi answered on the other end, speaking in a genuine announcer's voice, "Hello..."
Upon hearing the voice, Su Dingding immediately dug his toes into the ground; the voice sounded like a conman's.
Tang Caocheng inquired about the land purchase with some skepticism, but upon hearing the offer of one million, he repeated in disbelief, "How much, one million?"
“That’s right, it’s one million. If Mr. Tang agrees, I hope to sign the contract as soon as possible.” Gangzi’s broadcasting voice still had a bit of a bubbly tone.
That voice was so magnetic, so captivating; Gangzi was very satisfied.
Tang Caocheng and Ye Lan panicked and felt very uneasy.
That piece of land isn't worth a million at all!
Tang Caocheng spent a long time explaining that the land was unsuitable for raising fish or growing crops and had no value, which was why it was left abandoned. However, the other party remained adamant about paying a high price of one million to buy the land, not a penny less!
We arranged a place and time to sign the contract, and then I hung up the phone.
Su Dingding thought they would be very happy, but instead she saw that Tang Caocheng's face was solemn.
"What kind of decent person would spend a million to buy that piece of land?"
"Honey, I'm really worried. Spending so much money on a useless piece of wasteland? Are they out of their mind?"
"Mom and Dad, could we have run into money laundering?" Tang Xuan wondered.
"What do you mean?"
"They said they bought the land to launder the million-dollar debt, and then they said they didn't want to buy it anymore and wanted the money back. They're all gangsters. If we ordinary folks dared to disagree, they'd wipe out our entire families!" Tang Xuan was even scared of himself.
Su Dingding stared at them in a daze.
They're really not destined to be rich; they can't even handle money offered to them!
"Sis, you should read less of those ridiculous novels," Su Dingding tried to ease the tense atmosphere. "Rich people are just on a higher level than us. There must be a reason why he paid such a high price for that piece of land. Let's not worry about it. Just sell the land and get the money."
“Xin Xin, you’re still quite naive. I think your sister has a point.” Tang Caocheng was still somewhat uneasy.
"My heart is pounding, this isn't a good sign, let's not sell it!" Ye Lan took a sip of water to calm herself down.
Su Dingding was completely speechless.
It's all Gangzi's fault for speaking in a tone that lacks any warmth and having a tough attitude, which makes him seem like an unfriendly person.
She pondered for a moment and said, "If they really are bad people, even if we don't sell the land, won't they silence us?"
One sentence enlightened three people.
They all turned to look at Su Dingding, their eyes wide with horror. What she said made sense!
How can this be good?
“So tomorrow, the four of us will go check it out. If they really have money, we’ll sell the land, get the money, change our phone number, and move so they can’t find us!” Su Dingding suggested.
"Yes, yes, that's what we'll do!"
Su Dingding breathed a sigh of relief. It's so hard to get benefits for your family!
