Chapter 371: Not Fit to Be a Foster Mother 12
The police station wasn’t far, so the police arrived quickly.
Yuan Chun explained the situation, and the officer handcuffed the man.
The man was dumbfounded and struggled to say, "Liu Yuanchun, I... my aunt really called me here to meet you. My aunt said, your husband passed away and that you’re too busy running the store alone, so you wanted a man to help. I figured it must be hard for you as a woman running a store, so I thought after we got married, I’d take care of the store while you’d stay home to take care of my parents and the three kids. I... I really didn’t mean to take your store, it’s just that once we marry, we’d be a family, so the store would be mine too, so..."
"Ah, spit..."
Yuan Chun spat in his face in anger, "Who agreed to meet you? I never agreed to meet any man. You damn well want to steal my store, just admit it, and now you’re shamelessly tarnishing my reputation. Let me tell you, I’m a martyr’s widow, not some ordinary woman. Why would I give up being a martyr’s widow to marry you and become a stepmother, then go to your house and play the maid for your whole family? I’ve got a house, a car, and a store; why on earth would I give this great store away for you to run, and then go serve your parents and kids, working hard as a maid for your whole family? By then, the money made in the store wouldn’t even be mine, and my son might even be called names, like freeloading brat. Ah, spit... how could you think it would be so great? How can you be so shameless? Am I out of my mind to give up a good life and suffer with you?"
Yuan Chun spoke to the police officer, "Officer, I never agreed to meet up with this man; everything he’s saying is an excuse. Just maybe he’s really eyeing my store and my secret recipes for stewed and fried foods. Officer, you must stand up for me and severely punish this thief, or my husband will never rest in peace."
Upon learning she was a martyr’s widow, the officer treated her with much more respect and took the case more seriously, with Uncle Zhang also exerting pressure from the side, so the man was arrested.
After Yuan Chun delivered a truckload of goods into the yard and locked the gate, she also went to the police station to give a statement.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, worried and accompanying her to the police station, had just wrapped up their statements when they saw Aunt Li burst into the police station in a hurry.
As soon as Aunt Li saw Yuan Chun, she began scolding, "Liu Guafu, you’re so ungrateful. Out of the goodness of my heart, I introduced my nephew to you, and you went and got him taken into custody. You troublemaker, I’m telling you, if anything happens to my nephew, I won’t let you off."
Yuan Chun sneered, "Li Qianpozi, I respect you, which is why I call you ’aunt,’ but don’t think you can pull rank on me just because you’re older. I already told you I wouldn’t remarry, but you don’t understand human words and brought your nephew directly to my house. Your nephew, the minute he saw me, demanded my store, which is why I took him for a robber."
"You... I... I sent my nephew to your house for your own good, you..."
"Tch, don’t pretend that it was for my good when it’s really about grabbing my store and house. Your nephew even said he wanted to marry me because he had his eyes on my store and house, and that his family is so poor they have nowhere to live. And... this caring for my own good is actually trying to marry me off to your nephew to make me a maid in your Li Family?"
"Spit, Li Qianpozi, don’t take others for fools. Whether you’re doing it for my good or trying to grab the assets my husband left me, I know the truth in my heart."
"In the future, don’t come to my store anymore. I get sick just seeing you, old Qianpozi. Even your abacus beads seem ready to jump at my face; you really think no one can see through you?"
Yuan Chun gave her a good scolding.
