Chapter 18 The Arm Cannot Twist the Thigh



Shen Lichu brought two people down from the mountain and went directly to Shen Pingchu's house.

A relative of the Jiang family stayed at home, waiting for news. When he saw the relative come back, he hurried to inform others.

After a while, Chen Pingchu and Jiang Zhisheng came back one after another.

Jiang Xiaoqing was afraid of being scolded, so she hid behind Shen Lichu.

But Shen Pingchu didn't say a word. She pulled Jiang Xiaoqing, who was hiding behind Shen Lichu, into her arms and said with a sob, "How can you be so cruel to say something like, 'Let mom and dad pretend they never gave birth to you!'"

"Mom, I'm sorry..."

Jiang Xiaoqing thought her mother would beat her up and lock her up at home so that she couldn't escape and would never see Zhang Heng again.

After hearing what Chen Pingchu said, she realized how much she had gone too far and actually left such hurtful words to her loving parents.

Jiang Zhisheng stood at the door, staring blankly at the mother and daughter hugging each other, with mixed feelings in his heart.

During the few hours he spent looking for Jiang Xiaoqing, he had thought about all the bad things that might happen.

I also thought about finding her and giving her a good beating so that she would never dare to do such a thing again.

But now he doesn't seem so angry anymore.

He turned to his nephew and said, "Go find the others and tell them that Xiaoqing has been found. Uncle will come to thank you another day."

"Oh no! Uncle, what are you talking about? We're all family, there's no need to be so polite." Jiang Lijun said, and glanced at Jiang Xiaoqing worriedly, "My little sister doesn't look well. Please talk to my aunt and don't scold her."

Jiang Zhisheng patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, uncle got it. Don't worry. Go home and be safe."

After Jiang Lijun left, Chen Lichu went to close the door.

He told Chen Pingchu and Jiang Zhisheng everything that had just happened.

Jiang Zhisheng lowered his head and took one puff after another on the cigarette in his hand.

Chen Pingchu held Chen Lichu's hand in shock: "Fortunately you found her, otherwise what would I do..."

Before Chen Pingchu finished speaking, she started crying again. Jiang Xiaoqing was at a loss as to what to do to comfort her, feeling very guilty.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Today's incident is thanks to Li Chu and Aunt Xu. If it weren't for them, our family would be finished." Jiang Lijun reminded.

Chen Pingchu then sniffed and stopped, thanked Chen Lichu and Aunt Xu earnestly, then took her to the house, found a clean bed sheet to change into, and let Aunt Xu stay there with peace of mind.

She offended Liu Guohui in order to save Jiang Xiaoqing. If Liu Guohui retaliates, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

After settling Aunt Xu down, Chen Lichu called the three members of the family to sit on the sofa in the main hall.

"What are you going to do about this today?"

Chen Pingchu glanced at Jiang Zhisheng and said, "Boss, you say."

Jiang Zhisheng lit his cigarette and said, "Liu Guohui has connections. We ordinary people can't beat him."

"Then let Xiaoqing suffer this injustice in vain?" Chen Pingchu's eyes were full of unwillingness and heartache.

She hated herself for not keeping an eye on Jiang Xiaoqing, which almost caused a disaster.

Jiang Zhisheng sighed, "If this gets out in the open, it might not be a good thing for Xiaoqing. If it gets out of hand, everyone in the village will know about it. I'm afraid it will be bad for Xiaoqing's reputation, and she might even have to look for a husband in the future."

"Zhang Heng definitely won't care." Jiang Xiaoqing said firmly.

Jiang Zhisheng's face darkened, and his tone became stern: "Why are you still thinking about that man? If it weren't for him, would this have happened today?"

"Yes, Xiaoqing, your parents will not agree with you and him. He is a jinx who will bring you death." Chen Pingchu was afraid that Jiang Xiaoqing would run away from home again, so he could only persuade her earnestly.

"Mom, you watched Zhang Heng grow up, so you should know what kind of person he is, right?"

"He didn't kill his parents, grandparents, or brother, so what does it have to do with him?"

"I don't think he killed them. Instead, I feel sorry for him."

Jiang Xiaoqing plucked up the courage again and spoke for Zhang Heng. She liked Zhang Heng and wanted to be with her, but she also knew that her parents loved her and she couldn't hurt their hearts again.

So I can only try hard to convince them.

Seeing that Chen Pingchu and Jiang Zhisheng were not talking, she looked at Chen Lichu for help.

Chen Lichu took out the confession written by Liu Guohui from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table: “If you can’t make up your mind, why not listen to my opinion.”

Chen Pingchu and Jiang Zhisheng looked at Chen Lichu at the same time.

"This is Liu Guohui's confession. If we hand it over to the police station, he'll definitely be sentenced to death."

"He has a background." Jiang Zhisheng looked at Chen Lichu with worry in his eyes.

"I know his family's affairs. That so-called background isn't his relative, but his fucking mistress."

"He's the deputy director of the county police station. The old director is about to retire, and he has a good chance of getting a promotion."

"But if the affair between him and Liu Guohui's mother were to be exposed, he would definitely not dare to protect Liu Guohui. For the sake of his future, he would definitely enforce the law impartially."

"If I talk to him in detail, he might help us get rid of Liu Guohui as soon as possible."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Jiang Zhisheng's eyes: "Is this news accurate?"

"Absolutely true." Chen Lichu said with certainty.

These things actually happened in my previous life.

It was after his stepfather took office that Liu Guohui threatened the Jiang family and forced Jiang Xiaoqing to marry him.

At that time, Chen Pingchu had cried to her, and she also advised Chen Pingchu to calm down and not to be defeated by the powerful.

They are at the bottom of society, and nothing is more important than being alive.
