Chapter 203
"No, I won't leave." Jingui burst into tears. "Ahai is dead, and I'm an orphan without a father or a mother. If you hadn't paid for my education and given me a home, I would have starved to death long ago."
"You two are no different from my biological parents. Now you two are the only relatives I have left. If you die, what will happen to me and Xiao Mantou?"
"Ah Hai will definitely blame me in the afterlife."
When talking about their son, the two old men's originally cold faces softened a little, and they even shed tears.
"Why are you so stubborn, kid?" Ah Hai's father's eyes were red. "No matter how hard we try, you won't leave. You're still young and have a lot of time ahead of you. Carrying little Mantou is already a burden. If you have us with you, how will you get married in the future?"
"Our family's ocean is gone, but you are still alive. You should find a good family again. We are old and useless. We will only be despised by others."
"Go away and don't come back. The farther away from Dahe Village, the better. You don't have to worry about our affairs."
Jingui said, "We must be a family and be together. No one is allowed to say such discouraging words. Who said you are a burden? I, Jingui, can make money now. I can support you all by myself. Ah Hai is gone, but I am still here. I will provide for your old age."
Hearing these words, the two old men were even more moved. Zhong Qiao tactfully retreated quietly and helped them close the door.
These household affairs were not something she could interfere with, so she left it to Jingui to handle.
Zhong Qiao returned to the Cheng family's door. Thanks to the police's mediation and persuasion, most of those who came to cause trouble, those who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and those who wanted to retaliate had already returned home.
At present, only a few people who have debt disputes with the Cheng family are left and they refuse to leave.
One of the men, about 30 years old, pointed at the Cheng family and cursed, "If you don't pay me back, I'll smash your house to pieces. Even if the police are here today, I'm not afraid of you."
"You scoundrels, back then your family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. My dad took pity on you and lent you a thousand yuan, but now you're full and forget your lesson. When my dad came to collect the debt, you acted like scoundrels."
"You said you didn't borrow any money at all, but you kicked my dad out. He died of anger a few years later. Before he died, he was still talking to us about the 1,000 yuan. You have children and parents, and you dared to do this."
Old Man Cheng stiffened his neck and said, "That was given to us by your father. He was stupid enough to lend us the money, but we didn't ask him to give it to us. Why should we pay it back if we borrowed it with our own ability?"
"Fuck you!" The man, unable to bear it any longer, kicked Old Man Cheng to the ground. "My dad was so blind to lend money to your family!"
"You still dare to refuse to pay even at this point. I don't know who brought these two troublemakers from your family, kneeling from house to house begging for food and money. My father and several elders pooled their money to lend you money, otherwise you would have starved to death long ago."
"You haven't begged him for it yet? Your head is smashed, don't you remember?"
Seeing them fighting and the situation getting out of control, the panicked policemen rushed forward to stop them.
"No fighting allowed."
“Otherwise, everyone will be arrested and detained.”
It's so outrageous. They are police officers and they are still here, but these people don't take them seriously at all and start beating people directly. What's the difference between this and shitting and peeing on their heads?
"Detention?" The man was furious. He was being held by several police officers around the waist, some even hanging on his thighs, but he still couldn't get rid of his anger. "Even if I'm detained today, I'm going to beat up these ungrateful bastards."
Cheng Da really wanted to curse, but now was not the time, so he could only try hard to hold it back.
When had he ever suffered such injustice?
In the past, they could do whatever they wanted in the village, and no one dared to say a word against them. But now, the truth has been revealed, and the people in power have simply abandoned them. And it’s all his fault, that damn woman!
He was careless with his mouth and easily revealed their family secrets. Otherwise, how could their family have fallen to this point?
"I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard."
Since you can't do anything to the man, you can always beat your wife, and even the police can't do anything about it.
He grabbed Cheng's hair and threw her to the ground.
"It's such a misfortune for our family. If you hadn't let it slip, how could our house be surrounded by others? Look at what Dad has been beaten like. It's all your fault."
"I'm going to beat you to death."
As he said this, he started punching and kicking.
The strength of an adult male is naturally something a woman cannot escape. Cheng felt as if her scalp was about to be pulled out by the roots, followed by a familiar pain in her body.
Cheng Da had beaten her many times, but she was still not used to it, especially this time, Cheng Da was so angry that he almost wanted to kill her.
"Quick, quick, pull these two apart."
Even the police chief couldn't stand it anymore.
The Cheng family members are like bandits coming down the mountain in ancient times. Not only do they act tyrannically in Dahe Village, but they even beat their wives. Given the way they beat them, Cheng is lucky to have survived.
Two young policemen quickly stopped Cheng Da. Seeing that he had broken free from the restraints, Cheng immediately struggled and ran to the side.
Her face was already bruised and swollen. If she was beaten any further, she would probably be disfigured beyond recognition.
At this moment, his old wounds had not yet healed and new wounds had appeared on his body, making him look particularly pitiful.
"Go rest over there for a while." The female police officer who was traveling with her couldn't bear to watch anymore and helped her to rest on the stone beside the well.
Although they were already shocked by the Cheng family's shamelessness, these female comrades quickly regained their composure. However, as women themselves, seeing the Cheng family being treated like this, their disgust and hatred for the Cheng family increased by seven points.
"Take them all back." The impact of this incident was too bad. The Cheng family actually committed so many crimes in Dahe Village.
The head of the police station was a little shocked. He had always thought that the Cheng family had a strong backer, so they had been saved after making several mistakes. He did not expect the impact to be so bad. He must not show favoritism under their noses.
But he didn't know what to do with these people, so he just took them back.
Just then, Zhong Qiao ran up.
"Wait a moment, police officer."
She told them everything about Jingui's family.
"So, how should we deal with such vile behavior and the destruction of Jingui's house? We can't just let them off easily. If we do, everyone will follow their example and become a tyrannical bandit."
