CHAPTER 136: CHAPTER 136: SHIVERING WITH FEAR

After she said these words out loud.

Originally, these villagers felt that Mrs. Fu was wrong for cursing Jiang Xin at the village entrance every day.

They originally thought there might be some hidden truths, as there are hardly any good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships in this world.

The words Mrs. Fu said to them, they believed only half of them.

After all, it was just hearsay.

They didn’t know Jiang Xin, didn’t know what kind of person she was, so naturally, they couldn’t easily judge.

Mrs. Fu’s words couldn’t be entirely believed, but today they witnessed such a scene.

The villagers suddenly exchanged glances, thinking perhaps everything Mrs. Fu said over these days was true.

Otherwise, how could Jiang Xin cause such a big mess that the police came to find her?

After Mrs. Fu finished speaking, she kept observing the reactions of the villagers.

Seeing them start to doubt after being confused for a while.

She secretly felt immensely proud.

There was more than a little provocation in what Mrs. Fu had just said.

After all, now that Mrs. Fu was thoroughly disparaging Jiang Xin, when her son divorces Jiang Xin in the future, the impact on their family will be minimized.

Then, the one at fault would be Jiang Xin, who messed up their family, and the divorce wasn’t the family’s problem but simply a result of Jiang Xin’s poor character.

Now, with this drama unfolding, it was natural for Mrs. Fu to seize the opportunity to properly humiliate Jiang Xin.

So, after saying these words, she couldn’t wait to invite the villagers to go quickly to their house and see what was happening.

The villagers naturally wanted to follow, happy to watch the drama, just to pass the time.

Moreover, when they went back, they could gossip with those who didn’t see it, talking about the big event that happened in the village today.

After all, they had stayed in the village for so many years, and it was the first time they saw a police car enter the village, which was quite a big deal.

Until they arrived at the Fu Family’s yard, they were instantly dumbfounded.

Originally, they thought Jiang Xin had made a mistake outside, which was why the police were at the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the yard, they saw such a scene.

Jiang Xin was standing there with the police who were checking the scene, talking about the scene she saw when she returned home.

The police officer was holding a pen, recording the words Jiang Xin said.

Upon hearing Jiang Xin mention that the total value of the missing clothes was around six hundred yuan, they were indeed shocked; not expecting the price to be so expensive, it was indeed quite uncommon.

Hence, they immediately took it seriously.

After all, such a financial loss at their time was considered quite a big case.

The police officer immediately conducted an investigation inside the house, after checking for evidence inside.

Jiang Xin then spoke:

"Officer, you must help me find out who the thief is quickly!"

"I just went out for a while, and when I returned home, I found no one was inside."

"Before I went out, I clearly locked my room door, but there was obvious evidence that someone had come inside."

"I searched around and found several pieces of clothing from my wardrobe were missing."

"Those were the clothes my parents bought for me when I came to this village."

"They felt sorry for me suffering in the countryside, so they bought me the best things."

"Those new dresses hadn’t even had their tags removed, all bought from the largest Department Store in our provincial city, rumored to be imported, probably can’t find the same style in the local town."

Jiang Xin looked extremely anxious, holding the police officer’s hand, hoping he could help her find the thief soon.

Mrs. Fu and a group of villagers entered the house and heard Jiang Xin say these words, instantly stunned.

It turns out their home was burgled.

The villagers all thought it was Fu Yu who was in trouble.

Moreover, when they first saw Jiang Xin get out of the police car, they all thought Jiang Xin had caused some trouble outside.

It turns out their house was burgled, listening to Jiang Xin’s words, the stolen items seemed quite valuable.

They didn’t expect a few dresses could be worth so much, which indeed shocked them a bit.

All of them started gossiping, wondering who could have come to their house to steal.

After all, the villagers were quite honest, and no one had reported losing things over the years; it was simply too unexpected.

Now, everyone started taking it seriously.

They thought it might be someone from outside the village?

That would really be hard to prevent.

Afraid that they themselves might be victims next.

Many even thought about checking whether anything was missing once they returned home.

Since the police were still present, if anything was missing, they could directly file a report.

Some who were anxious, and had cash at home, didn’t bother watching the drama but rushed directly home to check their belongings for any losses.

Everyone had different thoughts.

Some villagers who didn’t understand the truth even told the police:

"Oh my, how could there be a burglar? Our village hasn’t had anyone lose things in ages."

"Officer, you better help us thoroughly investigate this, we must catch the thief, or our village will never be peaceful."

Because once there’s one, there might be a second, today it’s Jiang Xin’s family being stolen, maybe next time it’s theirs.

Only by catching the thief can they feel safe.

So one by one, they became anxious.

But they couldn’t interfere with the police’s investigation, so they could only watch quietly, hoping the thief would be found soon.

Everyone shared the same mindset, except for Mrs. Fu, who was trembling.
