If you do something wrong, you must accept the punishment.
This principle remains unchanged everywhere.
However, he really didn't know how the military would handle cases like Yuanyuan's.
“I’ll go too, and explain the situation clearly,” Dong Ze said.
Lu Qiaoge first looked at Dong Mingming with an admiring gaze, then said to Mrs. Dong, "Anything is fine. Mingming is the most important thing right now. Once things are settled here, we can talk about other things."
As for the tone, it definitely needs to be softened; it's impossible to condemn the Dong family entirely.
It would be fine if she could adopt Mingming, but as things stand, that's simply impossible right now.
Even Dong Mingming herself wouldn't agree, especially since she's already married and has a young man named Qin Hengzhi at home.
Even decades later, if Dong Yuanyuan's vicious attitude and bullying behavior were to result in her being sent to prison, she would at most be released within one to three years.
And now, it is 1981.
Just as Dong Yuanyuan's mother said, at most she will have to accept moral and conscience-stricken condemnation.
Even if you sue, it will only result in various forms of compensation.
But this is a family matter for the Dong family; who would file a complaint?
Is it Dong Mingming?
As for the rest of the family...
If a grandmother scolds or beats her granddaughter, it means she's biased and doesn't like her. So what?
If the parents are negligent, then so be it.
It's like when a thief steals money, you wish you could chop off his hand, but is there such a law?
Therefore, Lu Qiaoge will not completely destroy Dong Mingming's path, especially before she grows up.
Lian Liying was assigned to stay and take care of Dong Mingming.
Grandma Dong said, "Mingming, Grandma will go to the military headquarters and tell them it wasn't Huahua's fault, nor was it your sister Lu's. I will return the money. It's late tonight, your mother will stay here with you. You should sleep well. Grandma will come to see you every morning and bring you something delicious..."
This was the first time Mrs. Dong had spoken to her granddaughter so gently. Dong Mingming couldn't quite describe her feelings, but when she saw Lu Qiaoge's gaze, she seemed to understand something. She said, "Okay... Grandma!"
The old lady cried tears of joy again.
The old lady's eyes were swollen from crying today, which showed that she really regretted it. As for Dong Yuanyuan, even though she was angry and scared, she didn't dare to speak, especially in front of Lu Qiaoge. She was really afraid of Lu Qiaoge. Every time Lu Qiaoge opened her mouth, she felt her heart pound.
So at this time she was very obedient, doing whatever she was told without daring to have any objections.
Even if she were locked up in the military headquarters, she felt it was better than being at home, at least she wouldn't have to face her family.
Especially Dong Mingming, who wanted to sever her sisterly relationship with her.
She didn't want to see her anymore.
When the group arrived at the military headquarters, Lao Liu and Xiao Jiang hadn't gone home; they were working overtime writing a report.
Therefore, the report had to be rewritten.
There wasn't much talk. First, he took out a statement of the situation, which could be torn up, and then he returned the 20,000 yuan to Lu Qiaoge.
As for how to repay the debt, Xiao Jiang and Lao Liu decided to go to the Dong family again later.
Today's matter may seem like a family affair, but it's actually quite difficult to handle. However, Lao Liu and Xiao Jiang went to another office for a brief meeting.
Old Liu said, "If we want to resolve this, then Dong Yuanyuan's behavior constitutes slander and defamation..."
The charge is complicated, but holding someone accountable is certainly possible. Xiao Jiang didn't hesitate and said directly, "Shall we lock Dong Yuanyuan up today?"
This girl's behavior was appalling. She argued with her sister and used false accusations to drive her to jump off a building. She deserves to be punished.
Old Liu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it just so happens that Lan Yingmei is on duty today. We don't have any precedent for how to handle this, so we should consult with our superiors."
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Dong Yuanyuan, who was looking down, and suddenly realized that leaving Dong Yuanyuan here was actually letting her escape blame.
After all, no one complained about her or scolded her here. The military personnel spoke in a very professional manner. Apart from not being as comfortable as home, there was nothing else she couldn't tolerate. In fact, it was even more comfortable than home!
Dong Yuanyuan isn't very concerned about saving face; she's a very independent person.
Arrogant people never care what others think of them; they only care about their own pleasure.
Besides, she has no job, no school, and no boyfriend. If she were to have a criminal record, she might be even happier, because even though they are not direct relatives, if there is an older sister in jail, the younger sister is probably not much better off.
Because she herself is not a person who can consider others.
Lu Qiaoge really felt that leaving Dong Yuanyuan here was not a good idea.
Looking at Grandma Dong and Dong Ze's gloomy faces, and seeing Dong Yuanyuan's obvious relief, Lu Qiaoge sighed and asked Old Liu, "Director Liu, can I let this go?"
All eyes turned to Lu Qiaoge.
Dong Yuanyuan opened her mouth, somewhat anxious. She wanted to stay and remain alone in the monitoring room, a place she knew she had once run into out of curiosity when she was a child.
Although there were no windows, it was very quiet. No one bothered her when she wasn't investigating. She didn't want to go home and face her grandmother's and father's anger.
Grandma and Dad have lost face so badly today, they definitely won't let her off the hook.
She preferred to be alone rather than go home.
Anyway, she's unemployed, what's she afraid of!
But Lu Qiaoge didn't pursue the matter?
What is she up to now?!
This woman is truly terrifying.
Dong Yuanyuan hurriedly said, "I...I was wrong. I am willing to accept the punishment. I will reflect on my actions here."
Lu Qiaoge thought to herself, "No one will complain about you here, no one will hit you or scold you. You can't even reflect on your mistakes. You might even get a good night's sleep."
No, absolutely not!
Lu Qiaoge didn't look at her, but only at Grandma Dong, whose face showed surprise. Her voice was somewhat complicated: "...Although Dong Yuanyuan's behavior was very bad, after thinking it over, I am still willing to give her a chance."
Auntie, they say that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. It's a rare and precious connection that our two families live right across from each other. I really cherish it.
I feel very sorry that this happened, but life cannot be relived and time cannot be reversed, so we still have to look forward.
Yuanyuan is currently on the edge of a cliff, and both her family and friends have a responsibility and obligation to pull her out of it.
So, after much thought, I've decided not to pursue the matter further. Comrade Liu, do you think we could give Dong Yuanyuan a chance to reform herself?
Old Liu and Xiao Jiang exchanged a glance.
Old Liu rubbed his forehead. He had dealt with so many disputes, conflicts, and accidents, but this was the first time he had encountered something like this...
It's not that complicated. A little investigation will reveal the truth.
But it's not as simple as it sounds.
After all, a life was almost lost in the process.
However, Lu Qiaoge has now voluntarily requested not to pursue the matter. According to the company's regulations, if the victim does not pursue the matter, they will not hold it against them.
