Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary
Chapter 23: The Ignorant Fool 3
There is another boy named Ding Yi Bo, but I have some impression of him, but not much. It seems that he was not one of the many friends Cheng Xin Yuan had in his previous life. He was probably just an ordinary friend. It is normal for a person to meet different people at each stage of his life.
After parting with them, on the way home, Cheng Xinyuan kept sighing, saying that in a month Ding Yibo would go to his mother's place in Guangzhou. Ding Yibo's parents divorced when he was young, and his father married a stepmother two years ago. His biological mother was afraid that he would be wronged, so she took back Ding Yibo's custody and even transferred his household registration. The high school entrance examination was coming soon, so of course he had to go to Guangzhou. Cheng Xinyuan said disappointedly: "Sister, if he leaves, I may never see him again..."
I understood, so that's why. I didn't know how to persuade him: "There's only one month left, why don't you hang out more? Besides, communication is so advanced now, we can keep in touch anytime. The separation now is for a better meeting. Maybe you will meet again sometime and somewhere in the future!"
"Then... Sister, can I bring Ding Yi Bo home for dinner later? He really wants to eat the food you cook!" Hey, this little brat, it seems he is waiting for me here. Being young and independent, I have to take care of Cheng Xinyuan. My cooking skills are naturally not to be underestimated. I worked as a helper in a dessert shop in my previous life, and I also passed the dessert chef qualification exam.
"Okay, tell me what dishes you want to eat in advance, and invite Yao Yuan and the others too. We have to cook more dishes anyway, and it will be more lively with more people." After all, there is the friendship from the previous life, so my attitude towards Yao Yuan and Qin Luotian is extraordinary now. It is said that "a friend in need is a friend indeed." It is worth it for Cheng Xinyuan to have such friends.
Cheng Xinyuan was happily talking again. I looked at him helplessly, but I was thinking about another thing in my mind: I want Ms. Lin to take back the financial power, and I have a plan, but the key problem still lies with Ms. Lin. I have to change her mind little by little and make her understand that no one can have it as well as herself.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. I don’t even know how to start the first step…
Of course I know what kind of person Cheng Xingmin is, and Ms. Lin knows it too, but she always feels that she can change Cheng Xingmin, can influence him with love, can influence her with her actions, and she firmly believes that Cheng Xingmin will change... He is already fifty years old, wouldn't he have changed earlier? Moreover, Ms. Lin's so-called tolerance and forbearance, in Cheng Xingmin's view, is just Ms. Lin's guilty conscience, he will only push it further, and he still thinks he has the skills to control his wife, how can he change!
Cheng Xinyuan's voice was still in 3D surround. There were only a few teachers left after he complained about them, but he praised the physical education teacher to the sky: "Sister, you don't know, the physical education teacher openly went against the head teacher in order to let us take physical education classes. The head teacher wanted to take our physical education classes, so the physical education teacher turned off the school power switch. Hahahaha, it feels so good! The physical education teacher is like a male god in our eyes..."
Electric switch...
I slapped my forehead! Yes! That happened... I just thought it was still some time before that happened, and I didn't think about it for a while, but if you calculate the time, the hidden clues of that thing have been laid!
I got so excited that I punched Cheng Xinyuan in the chest. Cheng Xinyuan wasn't to be outdone, so he reached out and pinched my face. We went home playing and fighting.
When I passed the stairwell in the courtyard of the commercial street, I left Cheng Xinyuan and walked forward alone. There are many shops in the inner courtyard of the commercial street now. The electricity meters of the shops are centralized in this stairwell. The electricity bills are paid by each shop. Unless there is a circuit problem, the property management staff will come here to check. Usually, almost no one comes here, but some people are so cheap that they take advantage of this loophole!
I opened the door of the electric meter cabinet. Normally, this door should be locked and only checked by professionals. Now I can open it easily. The management is really lax. Humph, I think the property management is also responsible. If they had locked the electric meter cabinet tightly, they wouldn't have given some people the opportunity to take advantage of it!
I found my electric meter according to the account number. As I expected, Cheng Xingmin had done this before he went on a business trip. I am not good at physics, but I am not so bad that I cannot understand the wiring. I rolled my eyes in anger. I still have the sensitivity of a lawyer in my previous life. I opened my phone and took a picture to keep the evidence and scare Cheng Xingmin. Since he dared to do it, don't blame me for blackmailing him.
I looked around. This is a commercial area, but there is no surveillance. This property management company only takes money but does nothing. I am sure I can reconnect the line that Cheng Xingmin connected to the meter, but I cannot take the lead in this matter. I just need to let Ms. Lin know the seriousness of the matter to avoid more serious consequences and ruin Cheng Xingmin's wishful thinking!
I really don't know what Cheng Xingmin could have done if he hadn't caught up with the dividends of the times and hadn't been assigned a job. With his face as a mean person who took advantage of everything, what else could he have done except causing a lot of trouble for others to clean up after him? He privately connected wires and damaged public circuits, and he's still a state civil servant. Damn it, he should bear all the consequences and let this ignorant fool know how big a mistake he made!
But no, even in his previous life, he had done nothing but cry and confess, and it was others who suffered. In order to minimize the damage to interests, this tendency must be nipped in the bud now!
In my last life, just after the Chinese New Year in my junior year, Ms. Lin started the plan of renovating her shop. On the second floor, diagonally opposite our house, there was a large Internet cafe that was also being renovated. One day, the Internet cafe suddenly lost power during the renovation. The boss checked the switch and found nothing. He thought it was a circuit problem, so he asked the property management to check the electric meter in the stairwell. It didn't matter. How could the wire that should have been connected to my electric meter be connected to theirs? The Internet cafe owner and the property management were not stupid. They immediately understood what was going on. Isn't this clearly stealing electricity? The boss remembered that although the Internet cafe was his, he rented it to a calligraphy class before opening the Internet cafe. The electricity bill of the calligraphy class was obviously higher than the daily needs for a few months. He didn't take it seriously at first, but now he thinks that the problem lies here!
The owner of this Internet cafe has some background. He had been in society in his early years, tried various businesses and accumulated many connections. I heard that his wife is a relative of an important official in the county and has connections in all aspects. He is also a well-known local boss. How could he open an Internet cafe of considerable size when the number of entertainment venues in the county is strictly controlled? Doesn't he have some means?
Now that we have discovered this, we are right in the crosshairs of the Internet cafe owner. He immediately called a bunch of people to come to my house to demand an explanation. Cheng Xingmin, that coward, hid on the second floor and simply refused to come out, leaving Ms. Lin and I to face this mess. According to Ms. Lin's personality, she would have persuaded him with kind words and negotiated well, but the Internet cafe owner was obviously not an easy person to deal with. Ms. Lin knew she was in the wrong, so she wanted to settle the matter with money. The Internet cafe owner asked for 100,000 yuan the next afternoon, and said that this was just the electricity bill we owed, and all kinds of losses had not yet been calculated.
Ms. Lin knew that she was being blackmailed. Our store is not small, and there are no high-powered items except for some lights that are often on. How long would a store last for 100,000 yuan? But it is true that our line is connected to his meter, and this cannot be denied... But in this situation, who can come up with 100,000 yuan? Ms. Lin was furious and had a fight with Cheng Xingmin. Cheng Xingmin knew that he was the culprit in this matter, and he did not fight back for the first time. Fighting is fighting, but the matter has already happened, and it must be resolved.
Ms. Lin had never made so many phone calls, contacted so many people, or asked for help from so many connections in one day... To make matters worse, before this incident even started, the Internet cafe owner somehow found out that Cheng Xingmin was a civil servant. He didn't want the money anymore and wanted to sue him and put him in jail. This was a disaster for Cheng Xingmin! I said angrily, "Then let him go to jail. He caused this in the first place!" Ms. Lin also scolded me, "That's your father! How could you watch him go to that kind of place!" I retorted, "Then let him solve it himself! What's the big deal about pushing his wife and children out!"
That’s not all. From that day on, the Internet cafe owner’s mother would move a stool to the door of our store and sit there every day, cursing us. She said that our family should go to jail for all the electricity we stole and all the shameful things we did over the years. She even cursed our ancestors for eight generations. Her words were filthy and very ugly! Ten of my grandmothers couldn’t match her attitude and energy! Some neighbors tried to persuade us to make a big deal out of a small matter, while others wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail us. There were one or two blind people who also wade into this mess, saying that our family had stolen their store and asked us to pay for it. I scolded them back with a wrench!
Ms. Lin has always valued her own face and other people's opinions of her and her family more than anything else. No matter how hard she worked to build up her good character, it could not prevent the bad influence brought about by this incident. Not only did her business reputation plummet, but she was also worried about Cheng Xingmin's future. The Internet cafe owner showed no signs of letting us go.
At this time, my aunt came up with an idea. She told Ms. Lin to put the blame on my uncle-in-law. My aunt and uncle-in-law had lived in our house for a while. She said that my uncle-in-law was greedy for petty profits and secretly connected the wires to other people's homes. We didn't know anything. We should pay as much as we should. If the Internet cafe owner wants to sue, let him sue. If there is any crime, let my uncle-in-law take the blame. Anyway, my uncle-in-law has no job and no ability, and he doesn't care whether he has a criminal record or not. Let Cheng Xingmin be saved first...
Whether in my past life or now, I feel extremely ashamed and guilty about this approach. In my past life, I had no say, and even if I tried to stop it, it would be useless. I could only watch Ms. Lin agree to my aunt's idea. Although Ms. Lin lent a hand to my aunt's family when they were in trouble, in the end, we still owed my aunt and her husband.
Through various connections, my uncle was detained for a week, and we also paid tens of thousands of yuan to the Internet cafe owner, but the total amount of money spent was more than that... Later, my family also fought a lawsuit with the Internet cafe owner for several months, because when the Internet cafe owner brought a group of people to our house to make trouble, our house was also being renovated, and they smashed our house to pieces, except for the clothes that Ms. Lin had put away in advance, nothing was spared. Cheng Xingmin stole electricity, and Ms. Lin admitted it, but this kind of black SH behavior that ruined her life, Ms. Lin could not tolerate it. One thing is one thing, the compensation should be paid, and the lawsuit should also be fought. In the end, the Internet cafe owner also paid a lot of money, and he was found to be operating improperly in the middle, and the Internet cafe was ordered to close.
This farce ended in a lose-lose situation for both sides.
On the other hand, Cheng Xingmin, apart from crying and repenting, kowtowing to thank his uncle-in-law when he took the blame for him, and being demoted by his unit, was unscathed…
Even because of his good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Ms. Lin easily forgave him and said, "Everything has two sides. This may not be a bad thing. Maybe your father will change for the better." Even Liu Sanhao would have to kowtow to her with such crazy words!
