Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Every Penny He Earns Must Be Spent on His Wife
Dog bit dog?
After Lin Chuxia arrived in the Northwest, she asked Qin Yang about this matter because in her previous life, Qin Yang indeed raised a child. Since this child had appeared, she could not afford to take it lightly.
In the end, she learned that it was Qin Yang who personally facilitated the affair between that woman and Sha Jianqi.
As for Xu Sijin, without her husband, the vice-chairman of the labor union, Sha Jianqi, she went from the highly sought-after and esteemed wife of the vice-chairman to a divorced woman. She paid her price.
The three of them got home early, Sister-in-law Song and Jiang Hong helped Lin Chuxia as assistants in the kitchen, with Lin Chuxia as the head chef.
Knowing that they were going to have a meal cooked by Aunt Lin, the two brothers Bai Liang and Bai Tian didn’t go out to play, drooling over the aroma of the food while waiting for the big meal.
The dinner was naturally very lively, with everyone praising Lin Chuxia’s culinary skills incessantly. Zhang Dawei and Li Wei were more interested in discussing Qin Yang’s motorcycle.
Qin Yang casually chatted with everyone, occasionally glancing at his wife beside him, beaming with pride.
After staying in the Northwest for four or five days, it was time for Lin Chuxia to return.
Before she left, Qin Yang handed over his wages and bonuses from the past few months to her.
Although his salary was a mere drop in the bucket compared to what his wife earned, it was a show of his attitude.
He insisted on spending every penny he earned on his wife.
Additionally, there was already a lead on that matter. This time, he would seize the opportunity, not for anything else, but to be a little closer to his wife.
After Lin Chuxia returned from the Northwest, the first thing she did was solve a case with Yuan Bao, who became a meritorious dog.
The criminal gang from last time left no trace of the stolen goods, but with Yuan Bao’s help and perseverance, they finally found the criminal evidence.
Sun Hao’s wife, Chen Ping, almost suffered greatly at the hands of these people. Knowing the verdicts of the criminals, Sun Hao finally let out a breath of relief.
Compared to others, Sun Hao was more grateful to Lin Chuxia and Yuan Bao. Hence, knowing Lin Chuxia had returned, he was the first to visit with the station’s comfort and rewards.
As soon as Sun Hao entered Qin Family’s gate, Yuan Bao heard the noise.
It had been mostly with Sun Hao at the police station recently and was already well-acquainted.
Yuan Bao wagged its tail, running back and forth, barking twice at Lin Chuxia as if introducing its old partner.
Sun Hao patted its head, smiling and greeting Lin Chuxia.
"This time we really owe it to Yuan Bao, if it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have been able to close this case so quickly, and those criminals wouldn’t have been caught so soon. Honestly, I have never seen a dog as smart as Yuan Bao, not just me—the chief also wants to discuss with you, to see if we can get Yuan Bao into the police force."
The last sentence was said jokingly, and Lin Chuxia knew it was their way to probe.
"Sun is being too polite, Yuan Bao is just an ordinary dog, nowhere near a professional police dog, this time we can only say it was lucky."
Sun Hao nodded, he had already anticipated this response.
Not dwelling on it, he presented the station’s reward for Yuan Bao and also said to Lin Chuxia, "We owe you one for last time. The station has already applied for this year’s Courageous Act Award and reward on your behalf, and this time I mainly brought Yuan Bao’s reward."
Individual rewards were beyond their police station’s authority, and although Yuan Bao had made a significant contribution, there had been no precedent, so the reward could only come from their station.
While speaking, Sun Hao took out a dog leash marked with the title of hero.
He got this idea after seeing the leashes used for police dogs.
Holding the leash, he proudly shook it for Yuan Bao, "Yuan Bao, look at your reward, do you like it?"
He could imagine how impressive Yuan Bao would look wearing that leash.
However, upon seeing the leash, Yuan Bao incredulously stepped back twice, widening its dog eyes to look at the leash and then at Sun Hao.
After confirming that the leash was a gift for it, it abandoned its previously subservient attitude towards Sun Hao, half-crouched on its front legs and bent its back legs, baring its teeth and making a "hehe" sound.
Sun Hao, having spent some time with Yuan Bao, knew exactly what this behavior meant.
He blurted out in panic, "Mr. Lin, what’s wrong with Yuan Bao? Has it detected something again?"
Lin Chuxia looked skyward, speechless. Detected something again?
She had never leashed Yuan Bao from a young age, and now that Yuan Bao had accomplished such a great feat, the other party actually gave it a leash. How could it not be annoyed?
Pointing to the item in Sun Hao’s hand, she asked, "Officer Sun, are you sure this is a reward, and not revenge despite kindness?"
Sun Hao had yet to realize the seriousness of the problem and explained, "This is a symbol of honor. There’s also our police station’s stamp at the bottom. How could it be revenge despite kindness? In the whole Quan’an County, there is only one of these..."
He didn’t get a chance to finish his words, as Yuan Bao had already launched an attack.
Sun Hao knew how smart Yuan Bao was, and he was even more aware of Yuan Bao’s strength; he had personally witnessed Yuan Bao topple a tall and strong suspect carrying stolen goods, rendering him completely defenseless.
Without a second thought, he turned and ran.
Yuan Bao leaped forward and grabbed his clothes with its mouth, not letting go no matter how much he struggled, while also emitting a low growl of anger.
Sun Hao stumbled, turning back and calling out anxiously.
"Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao, let go, this is a police uniform, you can’t bite it."
"Yuan Bao, I’m Officer Sun, take a good look at me, we’re long-time partners."
"Yuan Bao, I’m here to bring you a reward, you can’t be heartless and turn on me just because you see your owner."
"Yuan Bao, I was wrong, I admit it, now let go of my mouth..."
No matter what Officer Sun said, Yuan Bao just clung to the hem of his clothes and wouldn’t let go.
Left with no choice, Sun Hao looked to Lin Chuxia for help.
"Mr. Lin, what do I do about this?"
Lin Chuxia spread her hands, "Officer Sun, just imagine, if you had made a great contribution, and the police station rewarded you with a pair of handcuffs, how would you feel? Honestly, if I were Yuan Bao, I’d be upset with you too."
Sun Hao slapped his forehead; he had only been thinking about giving Yuan Bao something practical to use.
He indeed thought the leashes worn by police dogs looked imposing.
He had really made a wrong turn.
"Yuan Bao, I was wrong. I won’t give you this reward. I’ll take it away right now, just let go and I’ll leave immediately, alright?"
Sun Hao continued to plead with Yuan Bao.
But Yuan Bao was not in the mood to listen to anything at that moment, baring its teeth at him.
In the end, it was Lin Chuxia who patted its head, and Yuan Bao reluctantly let go.
Though it let go, it didn’t give Sun Hao a single glance, turned around, and went back to its kennel.
The dog laid down with its front paws crossed over its head.
Sun Hao knew he had offended Yuan Bao; it was his wife’s lifesaving dog and had helped him a great deal. He really had returned kindness with ingratitude.
Sun Hao explained to Lin Chuxia with a wry smile, "I really didn’t think it through that much."
Lin Chuxia shrugged, indicating she was powerless to help.
