Chapter 202
"They even borrowed a full 1,000 yuan from us. My old man was still thinking about this money before he died, but they refused to acknowledge it. The borrower was even more arrogant than us. What kind of world is this?! We even have to kneel down and beg them."
"Comrade police officer, you must make the decision for us."
The people at the police station were really overwhelmed. They had actually taken on cases in Dahe Village before, and every time it was the Cheng family. But later on, for some unknown reason, these people stopped appealing.
They didn't meddle in other people's business.
I didn’t expect that so many people would be persecuted by the Cheng family today.
This gave them the feeling that they had been carrying on with work for years, and suddenly one day a door opened, and all the accumulated rotten things inside poured out and crushed them.
"Don't be anxious. Take your time to speak." The leading male police officer wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Now I'm going to ask you some questions. You need to answer truthfully."
"First of all, I heard from others that the Cheng family is using someone else's backing. Does anyone know who they are using their backing on? Is there a name or official position?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
No one really knew. They just saw their family acting so arrogantly and domineeringly, and Cheng Fugui committed such a crime and was able to escape safely. This made them believe that the Cheng family had a backer.
"Okay, then there's nothing," the police officer said coldly, "and this is fraud."
"Bullshit!" The besieged Cheng family members were furious. "Who said we don't have a backer?"
"Then tell me, tell me!" the crowd began to jeer. "You're bragging again. What's your backing? Tell me."
Cheng's eyes were red.
If possible, he really wanted to tell everything, including the person behind him. He was a well-known figure in the military camp. If Fugui had not saved his life, how could their family have been associated with such a person?
However, this big man got tired of them and when he learned that they were acting tyrannically and might even affect his reputation, he abandoned them all like garbage.
Moreover, he specifically warned that no one could reveal any information about him, otherwise the consequences would be worse than death.
They are just a small farming family, so naturally they don't dare to do that.
This became a joke in Dahe Village. They believed that they had no backing at all and that what they said was just nonsense.
"Sister Zhong Qiao," Jin Gui gritted her teeth, "You've seen it too. Their family is a bunch of lying hooligans. They've deceived everyone for so many years and are still so domineering."
Zhong Qiao seemed to be thinking about something.
Is there really no one to back her up? Why does she feel so suspicious about this matter?
For example, if this is true, why would the farmers know such an important person? But if it is false, why could the Cheng family escape danger time and time again?
The last time Zhong Long was almost abducted, several other people were sent to jail, but Cheng Fugui was released as if nothing had happened.
Now that they are surrounded again, the Cheng family can't produce any evidence that they have a backer, which is totally unlike their style.
Everything reveals a sense of irrationality.
"Sister Zhong Qiao." Jin Gui took out a carrying pole from somewhere and said, "Let's take advantage of this opportunity. If a fight really breaks out, I will definitely give their family a good beating."
Zhong Qiao was startled by the carrying pole that suddenly appeared and asked: "When did you bring this?"
Jin Gui completely ignored her surprised look and said, "It's just something that happens to me."
Zhong Qiao curled his lips and said, "Why don't you take your two elders here first? Didn't they say they've been harassed by their family recently?"
Jin Gui woke up from her dream: "Yes, the envelope said that my parents were injured. I have to go see them first."
She dropped the carrying pole and ran towards the city.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, what about us?" The big man scratched his head, unsure whether to follow. "We'll all listen to you."
Zhong Qiao said, "You guys stay here for now. I'll call you if anything happens. Just keep an eye on the Cheng family for now. If you have any news about their backers, tell me immediately."
She always felt that these things were not that simple. Thinking of what Ji Hebai had said before, the answer he had been pursuing was also a person. Judging from the description, he might have an extraordinary identity. Is there any connection between the two?
Zhong Qiao could only pay some attention to this aspect.
"I'm going to Jingui's house to take a look." Zhong Qiao followed.
When Jin Gui opened the door, she was stunned.
In the small courtyard that was originally well-maintained by the two old men, all the chickens and ducks were dead, and even the old yellow dog that guarded the door was nowhere to be seen. Only the iron chain at the door was left stained with blood.
When I walked inside, I saw feces and urine splashed under the wooden door, and it was stinking.
The more Jin Gui looked, the more frightened she became.
Both old people are very clean and would never mess up their home like this. So we only have one possibility: it was the Cheng family who did it.
Jin Gui hurried home and opened the door with a nervous mood.
What came into view were two old figures.
My mother-in-law was taking care of my father-in-law who was bedridden, feeding him water with a bowl.
My father-in-law's face was dark and he looked extremely thin. Even his usually neat and tidy beard was now a dirty clump.
"Mom and Dad." Jin Gui's voice was a little hoarse.
"What's going on with us?"
When the two old men heard the noise, they were both startled. Then they turned around and saw Jingui. They were a little shocked, and then they became stubborn.
"Why did you come back? Since you've already left Dahe Village, why would you want to come back again in this lifetime?"
Jingui rushed to their bedside and said, "Mom and Dad, I should have taken you away at that time. I was wrong. I didn't consider the consequences and that's why you have to bear all this anger."
"The yard was ruined like that, why did you write to me now? If I didn't know Dad's character well, he's not the type to write to me, I would have guessed something had happened at home. How long would you have kept it a secret from me?"
"Jin Gui," the two old men said in a rather silent voice, "This is no longer your home, and there's no need to treat us like this. You just need to be responsible for Little Mantou. We two old men, half buried in the ground, will only be a burden to you. Go now."
Hearing the two old men say this, Zhong Qiao had almost certainly guessed that they were actually people with sharp tongues but soft hearts.
Since their son's death, the two old people have deliberately acted mean and wanted to sever ties with their daughter-in-law and grandson in order not to burden them.
Unexpectedly, Jingui was very filial. No matter how many times she was pushed away by them, she would think of them first when encountering problems. This time, the old man wrote the letter because he felt that he was dying, so he said some words. Unexpectedly, Jingui came back directly.
