By the afternoon, Yuanchun had heard that Ge Xiaodan had been arrested. Public security officers had even searched his room and found three hundred yuan.
Although the amount did not match exactly, the thirty catties of cotton were gone. The officers suspected that the extra money had come from Ge Xiaodan selling the cotton, but he refused to admit it. He had only stolen the money the night before and hadn't even had a chance to spend it yet, so how could it belong to his brother-in-law? However, no one believed a word he said, and he was too afraid to admit which house he had stolen it from.
In the end, Ge Xiaodan was taken away, and Liu Tiezhu retrieved the money. On the spot, Liu Tiezhu severed all ties with the Ge Family, which made the elderly couple so furious they fainted.
