Li Yao took Fang Yifan back to Shuxiang Yayuan. As soon as Fang Yifan walked in, Tong Wenjie was very surprised.
"Fanfan, why are you back? Didn't you go to your grandparents' house to celebrate the New Year?"
Fang Yifan said helplessly: "My grandparents encountered a scammer and were defrauded of 100,000 yuan. My dad is taking them to call the police!"
"Is it okay for grandma and grandpa?" Tong Wenjie asked with concern.
"Fortunately, my dad is here, should everything be fine?" Fang Yifan saw his mother and Song Qian making dumplings and asked, "Is Yingzi here?"
"Yingzi and Lei'er went home to get Lego toys and will be back later." Song Qian said with a smile:
"Fanfan is destined to spend this year with us."
Tong Wenjie took off her apron and said worriedly: "I'll call Fangyuan and ask."
"Forget it, since we have already called the police, what can you do." Song Qian advised: "Don't forget, you are divorced and they are no longer your parents-in-law."
Tong Wenjie paused after hearing this and slowly put away her phone.
Song Qian asked Fang Yifan again: "Fanfan, how did you come back?"
"Teacher Li Yao sent me back, and she rushed to the police station again." Fang Yifan answered honestly.
Song Qian said disapprovingly: "That mistress is so kind."
Tong Wenjie touched Song Qian privately and told her not to say this in front of her children.
Song Qian's anger had subsided a lot during this period, and she suddenly stopped talking.
Qiao Yingzi and Lin Leier quickly came back with a large box of Lego. They were very happy to see Fang Yifan and pulled him to play with them.
Compared with Lin Lei'er, Qiao Yingzi still prefers to play with Fang Yifan.
?Mainly because Fang Yifan can stir up the atmosphere, but Lin Leier is too dull.
Seeing the three children playing, Song Qian couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if we could stay like this forever!"
Tong Wenjie smiled and said: "The children will leave us one day, so be open-minded! How can you still stop Yingzi from getting married?"
Song Qian said jokingly: "Let Yingzi recruit a son-in-law in the future, I don't want to be separated from my daughter!"
Tong Wenjie smiled and said, "My son-in-law is not bad either."
Song Qian rolled her eyes and said to Tong Wenjie: "Wenjie, what do you think of letting Fanfan be my son-in-law?"
Tong Wenjie's hands stiffened while kneading the dough.
"Fanfan and Yingzi are just good friends." Tong Wenjie shook her head.
"Besides, Yingzi is so good, how can Fanfan be worthy of her!"
Tong Wenjie had really considered marrying Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi before, and even joked that Song Qian would give her four school district houses as a dowry.
However, as Qiao Yingzi became ill and Wang Gang's career became more and more successful, Tong Wenjie no longer thought about this matter.
"Wenjie, haven't you been thinking about the few houses in the school district I have? As long as Fanfan marries Yingzi, the four houses in the school district will be used as dowry, and I don't want any gifts!" Song Qian didn't know if she was joking or serious.
Tong Wenjie sighed and said, "Song Qian, stop joking, Fangyuan is reluctant to let her only son become her son-in-law!"
Song Qian's smile froze, and her best friend didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that Tong Wenjie didn't like her daughter.
The two of them didn't talk about this topic again, otherwise the best friends would have nothing to do.
On the other side, in the police station, Wang Gang took his parents to explain clearly how he was defrauded. The police did not say when they would solve the case or whether the money could be recovered.
?When they returned home after finishing their work, they found that the door was blocked by more than one person.
"Lao Fang, the police station just called me and said that the financial products we bought were fake and that the company made the donation and ran away."
"Lao Fang, can we get our money back?"
"Old Fang, what's going on? Didn't you buy financial management from the bank? Can the bank still run away?"
Many neighbors received the news, and they all came to Fang's house to ask for an explanation.
Wang Gang invited everyone into the room first and explained in detail.
"Everyone, I just brought my parents back from the police station. The company you bought financial management from has been confirmed to be a scam company. Not only is the person in charge missing, but even the office space is deserted."
Wang Gang explained patiently: "The police have opened a case for investigation. When you have time, you can go to the police station to explain the situation and register the amount of money defrauded."
The neighbors were completely upset.
"Lao Fang, you must give us an explanation today."
"That's right! We bought that financial management thing just because you fooled us."
"Pay back the money, you must pay us back today!"
Faced with the angry neighbors, Fang's father and mother were completely panicked.
Wang Gang stood up and said: "Please calm down. When you bought financial management, you bought it voluntarily. My parents didn't force you. Now something happens, no one wants to. My parents are also victims and have suffered heavy losses."
"Who knows if you colluded with a scam company to defraud us of the coffin book."
?"It's just that your parents had to force us to buy financial services, and now they don't want to admit it when something goes wrong!"
"If you don't pay back the money today, you won't be able to enjoy this new year!"
Fang's father and Fang's mother helplessly pulled on their son's clothes.
Wang Gang yelled: "That's enough, if you keep messing around, I'll call the police and let the police come and judge!"
The neighbors were frightened by Wang Gang's momentum and did not dare to speak for a while.
At this time, an old lady in her eighties suddenly squatted on the ground and started crying.
"My money! My coffin book. You unscrupulous people defrauded me of my money and threatened me. My heart hurts!"
"Without money, I might as well just die."
One person cried, and soon everyone else began to cry, and they all sat on the ground and wailed.
Fang's father and Fang's mother felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but said to Wang Gang: "Otherwise, your mother and I will cover their losses first, and we still have some savings!"
"Yes! After all, it was me and your dad who introduced them to buy financial management in the first place! They should take some responsibility."
Wang Gang said solemnly: "Investment has risks. This is something everyone knows. Why do they want you to cover up when they lose money on investment? When they make money, do you get a share of it?"
Father Fang said helplessly: "We are all old neighbors for decades."
Wang Gang said angrily: "You are just neighbors, not your biological parents. Why do you care about them if you pay them?"
Seeing a large group of old men and women crying more and more sadly, Wang Gang did not tolerate them and took out his cell phone to call the police.
"I have already called the police. If you do this again, I will sue you for gathering in a crowd to cause trouble."
The neighbors were not frightened by Wang Gang's words, but instead made the noise louder and louder.
Some people even began to call Fang's father and Fang's mother liars, making the couple feel ashamed.
In the end, the police came to the door and took everyone to the police station.
Fang's father and Fang's mother came to the police station again. They had no energy at all. Everything was decided by their son.
Wang Gang and his neighbors argued for a long time at the police station. In short, no one wanted to be cheated, and there was absolutely no way for his father and mother to pay all the debt.
When the police encounter such disputes, they can only rely on persuasion.
After a few hours of commotion, Wang Gang led his parents out of the police station again. Li Yao drove the three of them back to Shuxiang Yayuan. The old house could not be lived in for the time being, and it was unknown what happened to the neighbors.
"Don't go back to the old house recently, hide away for a while!" Wang Gang advised his parents:
"I will sell the old house online later and buy you a new house to live in."
Father Fang was surprised and said, "You want us to move?"
Wang Gang sighed and said: "With things like this, how can you still live there? Wouldn't it be awkward for the neighbors to meet each other in the future?
Selling a house can also silence those people. You just say that you have lost too much money and must sell your house to pay off the debt! Now that the real estate market is good, you can still sell it at a higher price. When the house price drops after a while, I will buy a big house for you.
You guys stay!”
"How can house prices drop? Look at how house prices in the capital have risen!" Fang's mother said in disbelief.
"Just believe me! The house prices have only dropped in the past two years. During this time, I will rent a house for you to live in! If not, go to Shuxiangyayuan. We live close to each other and it will be easier to take care of!"
Wang Gang thinks that when the epidemic comes at the end of next year, it will be more convenient for his parents to take care of him!
"Okay! We all listen to you." Fang's father and Fang's mother reluctantly agreed, and took out the bankbook and handed it to their son.
"Yuanyuan, this is your father and I's last savings, so I'd better let you keep it for safekeeping first. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it if we mess around again." Mother Fang warned.
Wang Gang accepted the bankbook and then said: "Today is the New Year's Eve after all. We haven't even had the New Year's Eve dinner until now. We must be hungry!"
Li Yao carried a big plastic bag and said, "Sister Tong just heard that my uncle and aunt were in trouble, so she made some dumplings and brought them over. You can eat them after they are warmed up."
Wang Gang nodded and said: "There are still some dishes in the refrigerator. I will make some simple ones to celebrate the New Year first."
"Don't think too much. One hundred thousand yuan is not much, just spend it to learn a lesson. No matter what happens today, you must have a good New Year!"
Father Fang and Mother Fang looked at each other, and now they truly realized the significance of raising children to provide for old age.
