Aunt Jiang beat and scolded her, but Jiang Xiaoluo refused to let go. Aunt Jiang was so angry that she yelled at Uncle Jiang, "What are you doing standing there, you immortal idiot! Pull her away! She is the one who saved your Jiang family, don't be stupid!"
"I...I think we should discuss this matter again?" Uncle Jiang hesitated. He always felt that this matter was not that simple. The police came to the house to arrest people without saying anything. How could they just spend 200 yuan to settle the matter? Don't let it go any further.
Aunt Jiang didn't think so. She only knew that Jiang Chao must have had trouble eating and sleeping in the detention center. She pointed at Uncle Jiang and Jiang Xiaoluo and cursed, "What the hell are you talking about? Do you two have any conscience? Chao'er is our family, not an outsider. If you don't save him, I will!"
As she said that, Aunt Jiang grabbed the money and tried to run away. Jiang Xiaoluo hugged her thighs and cried breathlessly.
"Mom! Can you please sober up a little! We are a family. Jiang Chao has his own life. Even if he was arrested, it was because he did too many immoral things. It's his own fault! You don't have to help him like this!"
"Shut up, you are the most heartless person in the family."
Aunt Jiang pushed her hard, and Jiang Xiaoluo fell to her knees. Aunt Jiang didn't even look at her, "As the saying goes, family members are connected by bones. If you ignore your cousin now, who will support you when you get married? By then, you won't even have your own family, and who knows how others will bully you! Idiot!"
Jiang Xiaoluo's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't know whether to get married or not. She only knew that if she continued like this, there would be no hope for her family at all.
"Dad, say something!"
Jiang Xiaoluo placed her last hope on Uncle Jiang, but Uncle Jiang opened his mouth and said nothing.
Jiang Xiaoluo withdrew her gaze in disappointment, and a feeling of despair surged in her heart. As Aunt Jiang turned and left, her hope for life seemed to be taken away as well.
Why? Most of the family savings were earned by her working day and night. Normally, she would have to beg for a long time to buy clothes, but Aunt Jiang could just take out all of them for Jiang Chao.
In the past, she didn't care when other girls of the same age in the village laughed at her for working for free. However, faced with reality again and again, Jiang Xiaoluo had to admit that in Aunt Jiang's heart, no matter how much she did in this family, it was not as good as Jiang Chao's status as a man.
They stubbornly believed that only men could carry on the family line, and that even after death, it was considered decent if a man carried the coffin, so no matter what she did or how she tried to please them, it was all in vain.
"Haha." Jiang Xiaoluo cried and then started laughing. So what was the point of her efforts?
"Xiao Luo, you..." Uncle Jiang was frightened by Jiang Xiao Luo's behavior and explained helplessly, "Xiao Luo, don't blame your mother. She actually has no choice."
Uncle Jiang told her that Aunt Jiang had been married into the Jiang family for so many years and had always been laughed at for not being able to give birth to a son. In addition, when she was young, there were not many people in her natal family, and she had no one to turn to when she was bullied. Over time, Aunt Jiang developed an obsession in her heart that a male heir was everything to the family.
"It's my fault. If I had protected her more, maybe she wouldn't be so extreme." Uncle Jiang reached out and patted Jiang Xiaoluo on the shoulder, hoping that she would not bother with Aunt Jiang for these things.
"Dad, what about me? Do I deserve this unfair treatment? The girl next door eats and wears everything, but what about me? I try my best to save a little, just to make our family live a good life, but now..."
Jiang Xiaoluo shook her head with tears in her eyes and ran out in disappointment. No matter how Uncle Jiang called out to her, she did not look back.
The other side.
Aunt Jiang took the money to the police station to redeem the person, but unexpectedly, the other party waved his hand suddenly after seeing the money she handed over.
"Get it!"
Aunt Jiang didn't understand what was going on until she was detained. She stretched her neck and struggled, "Comrade, I'm here to redeem someone. Why are you detaining me?"
"Ransom? This is clearly a bribe!"
Aunt Jiang's head suddenly exploded! Bribery is a serious crime these days, and she can't afford it!
"Comrade, did you misunderstand? I didn't bribe you. You asked me to pay money to redeem him!"
"We said that? Then tell me, who told you that? Is there any specific document?"
Aunt Jiang shook her head. How could she possibly know all the people in the police station? Moreover, the person who passed the news did not meet her directly but asked someone to pass the message on. Now she had no idea where to find him.
"Comrade, please be kind. I am too old to do anything illegal. My nephews have made a mistake. Can you consider this money as paying their fines?"
"You're dreaming. What do you think our police station is? A place that will allow you to bargain like this?" The leading policeman frowned and without saying a word, he had Aunt Jiang thrown into the detention center, saying that he wanted her to reflect on her mistakes and recognize them.
In the cell, Jiang Chao and Zhang Tieying were so hungry that their stomachs were sticking to their backs. They were half-conscious and saw Aunt Jiang being pushed in. They were shocked.
"Aunt, why are you here too? What happened?"
"How dare you say that? I'm doing this to save you!" Aunt Jiang is old, and her waist was a little uncomfortable during the tug of war just now. Seeing this, Jiang Chao signaled with his eyes, and Zhang Tieying reluctantly stepped forward to massage her.
"Aunt, what happened? Tell us quickly."
Aunt Jiang then told the story again, and the two of them twitched on their faces after hearing it.
"It's over. They really don't even want the money. What on earth do they want to do?"
[Mom, do you know what they want to do? ]
In Jin Yumantang, Jiang Ruyi was also asking Liu Chunhua the same question.
The story of Aunt Jiang being arrested after offering money to redeem someone has spread, and more and more people think that this matter is unusual.
Liu Chunhua also had a vague guess, but without evidence, she didn't dare to say anything.
"No matter what they want to do, that family was indeed wrong and was locked up. Let's just trust the government and not cause trouble for the country." As she spoke, Liu Chunhua had already packed up the things in front of her.
A basket of fruit and a box of cookies are both great gifts.
[You are going to look for Old Li.] Jiang Ruyi only took a glance and knew it in her heart. Old Li didn't come today. Although Liu Chunhua didn't say it, she was still very anxious. She bought these things early in the morning. It was estimated that she would come to visit in person.
"I always feel that he is a little abnormal. No matter what, let's go and take a look first."
