Mao Fang took Weng Ying's manuscript back as a pile of waste paper, but it was very important to Weng Ying and the loss was great.
Gu Nan asked, "Xiaoying, do you only have that one share?"
"There is still a draft, but I need to write it again."
Writing tens of thousands of words is not easy for Weng Ying, especially in winter, when her fingers are swollen and painful, and even more so when she is tired.
Writing is difficult for her.
"Come on, I'll give you acupuncture first. Don't let this affect your treatment. Let's wait for the police to notify you."
Gu Nan gave a few words of enlightenment, and the haze in Weng Ying's heart dissipated a bit.
However, Weng Ying really couldn't figure out Mao Fang's revenge for her dismissal.
Sun Cheng told the police that Mao Fang had harassed his friends when he was working as a nanny at his own home, and told the police that if Mao Fang insisted that he had harassed her, they could ask Mao Fang to sue him.
At the same time, he will also sue Mao Fang for defamation and slander. He has hired a lawyer to accompany him to the end.
The police informed Mao Fang of Sun Cheng's opinions, hoping that she would tell the truth, otherwise they would act in accordance with the law.
The law pays attention to evidence, and also advocates frankness and leniency.
By the afternoon, Mao Fang finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed.
She took away Weng Ying's manuscript.
She was just angry that Weng Ying fired her.
She admitted that she had tried every means to get close to Sun Cheng's friends, but they did not pay attention to her at all and did not come often.
In the end, she could only show extraordinary concern for Sun Cheng.
She didn't really fall in love with Sun Cheng.
She just feels that her fate is unfair.
She is beautiful and hard-working, but she can only work as a nanny for a meager salary, while Weng Ying is obviously ordinary-looking and sickly, but Sun Cheng treats her like a treasure.
She fantasized that she could let Sun Cheng see her merits through her earnest performance. She did not expect a result with Sun Cheng, she just wanted to stay in the city through him and change the status quo, nothing more.
As for Weng Ying's manuscript, according to Mao Fang's account, after leaving Sun Cheng's home, she threw the cowhide bag into the trash can outside the alley.
As for whether it was still there now, she didn't know.
The police took Mao Fang to the trash can and rummaged through it for Weng Ying's manuscripts.
The cleaners come every afternoon to take out the trash. The trash cans are full at this point and the stench is overwhelming.
With the help of the police, they finally found the cowhide bag on the bottom floor.
However, all kinds of garbage were thrown together in the trash can, and the cowhide bags were soaked.
The police carefully put it into a plastic bag and took it back to the police station.
When Sun Cheng and Weng Ying saw the manuscript, their hearts dropped.
Mao Fang heard from the police that this manuscript was very important. If Sun Cheng and Weng Ying sued, she would probably go to jail.
Mao Fang was frightened.
She asked the police to let her meet Sun Cheng and Weng Ying to apologize to them and gain their forgiveness.
In order to mediate the conflict, the police agreed to her request.
One day at the police station, Mao Fang had lost her usual charm, her face was pale, and her hair was messy. She was afraid that she would be frightened if she was locked in a small dark room for interrogation.
When she saw Sun Cheng and Weng Ying, she fell to her knees with a plop.
"Brother Cheng, Sister Xiaoying, I'm sorry."
Sun Cheng looked at the crying woman kneeling on the ground with a chill in his eyes. He pulled Weng Ying back a step, for fear that the woman would touch Weng Ying.
Weng Ying looked at her and said in the same unkind tone, "We are not kind to you. You repaid kindness with enmity and failed to sow discord between us. You even stole before leaving. How could you do such a disgusting thing? Your behavior has violated the law.
.”
Mao Fang was also educated in the interrogation room just now by comrades in the police force and learned that her behavior was illegal.
She didn't take it seriously at all.
She had no idea how to steal money. When she left, she was so angry that she wanted to throw away Weng Ying's manuscript to make her anxious.
She really didn't expect that these two people would call the police.
Mao Fang, who had been educated about the law, realized that she was afraid.
She shamelessly knelt in front of them to admit her mistake and apologized, "Sister Xiaoying, I was obsessed at the time. I didn't know why I just took the bag away. I didn't mean it."
"I'm just a working girl. Can you please let me go? If I'm detained, it will be difficult for me to find a partner in the future. Please."
Mao Fang was frightened when she learned that she might be detained.
If she is detained, she will not be able to stay in the city anymore.
She was unwilling to go back to her hometown to get married.
"People must pay for their actions."
Sun Cheng looked at her coldly, with an extremely indifferent attitude, "Didn't you accuse me of harassing you? You can sue me and I will accompany you."
Mao Fang shook her head vigorously, "No, you didn't harass me. I was just talking nonsense. Brother Cheng, you have a lot of excuses."
Sun Cheng's expression at this time was terrifyingly cold, completely different from the gentle and jade-like gentleman he usually was.
Mao Fang was frightened. Only then did she realize that this man was just being gentle to the woman next to him.
There was no point in begging Sun Cheng, so Mao Fang began to beg Weng Ying again, "Sister Xiaoying, for the sake of both of us being girls, can you please stop pursuing me? Don't argue with me, an ignorant rural person, my parents
I’m still waiting for me to make money and go back. I don’t have any ill intentions. I’ve lived too hard in the past, and I’m afraid I really want to get a foothold in the city. I took your manuscript just on impulse.”
"Don't smear rural people. You are ignorant and bad-hearted. It's just your own problem and has nothing to do with the region."
Weng Ying had a tough attitude, "We won't forgive you. Let's deal with it according to the law."
Mao Fang's behavior constituted theft, but it is unknown whether Weng Ying's manuscript has been published or whether it can be published.
Therefore, this manuscript cannot be valued like other finances or things.
Although Sun Cheng repeatedly emphasized that the cowhide bag contained very important documents.
But the police have their own punishment standards.
In the end, the police detained Mao Fang for fifteen days for violating public security regulations and fined her one hundred yuan.
Sun Cheng disagreed. Although the police acted in accordance with the law and it was reasonable, he just couldn't swallow it.
He believed that the detention was too light and wanted to find a lawyer to sue Mao Fang.
Weng Ying persuaded him, "Brother Cheng, let's do it. If we sue, we will have to cooperate with the judicial organs for a long time in the future, and my body can't bear it. Besides, my manuscript is really priceless, and it won't be good if I sue.
Judgment.”
This kind of treatment does not relieve Sun Cheng and Weng Ying's hatred.
However, for Mao Fang, it seemed as if the sky had fallen.
When she picked up the cowhide bag in the morning, she never thought that it would bring "jail".
She just wanted to relieve her anger.
Character determines destiny.
Amid Mao Fang's heartbreaking cries, the two turned around, took the cowhide bags soaked in garbage, and returned home.
The middle part of the paper inside was intact, but the outer layers were soaked by sewage and turned into waste paper.
Sun Cheng pulled off the outer layer and threw it into the furnace.
The intact manuscript paper was given to Weng Ying, "Xiaoying, take a look and rewrite the missing parts."
Sun Cheng looked at the burning paper in the stove and cursed angrily, "Beast."
"Don't be angry, I can just make it up when I have time. Fortunately, she just threw it away."
Before publication, handwritten manuscripts are very important.
If it gets into the hands of someone who is interested, and the novel leaks out after it is published, the copyright issue will not be clear.
Without a nanny at home, Sun Cheng could only cook by himself at night.
While eating, Weng Ying said, "Brother Cheng, I think it's better not to find a nanny."
When Mao Fang made such a fuss, Weng Ying felt a shadow in her heart.
Sun Cheng smiled at her and said, "Okay, I will serve you from now on, don't worry."
