Chapter 38 Being Targeted (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Wang Erdan grimaced in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let me go! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're in the army. Let me tell you, I'm in pain, ouch, ouch... I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me. I still have 1,300 in my pocket, you can take all the money."
Wang Erdan tried to be stubborn, but his spine was about to break from being stepped on. He wasn't exactly a tough guy, so he surrendered immediately.
Xu Qingmo stepped forward and rummaged through Wang Erdan's pockets, finding exactly 1,300 yuan, not a penny more.
Unexpectedly, just as Xu Qingmo pulled the money out of his pocket, Wang Erdan started shouting.
"Everyone, come quick! Someone is robbing ordinary people in broad daylight! Is there no justice in this world? Help! Someone help us!"
Wang Erdan's loud shout quickly attracted a crowd of curious onlookers.
Wang Jing stepped forward, squatted down, and hugged Xu Qingmo. Xu Qingmo took the opportunity to stuff the money into Wang Jing's pocket.
"Why did they start fighting? Could it be that Wang Erdan got divorced and then set his sights on Wang Jing? Is he angry about Chen Jiang teaching people a lesson?" Some villagers made wild guesses.
"You should cut off your ear and give it to the men in your family for drinks. Haven't you heard of robbery?"
"Money? Wang Erdan has money? Is he a rich man?"
They were all from the same village, and everyone knew exactly how many grains of rice each family had left in their jars.
Wang Erdan's family was already poor. The dowry he gave for his wife was borrowed from relatives, and they might not even be able to pay it all back yet.
"It's also possible that he swindled some money from his wife during the divorce," someone said.
"That's not impossible, he's shameless to begin with."
Hearing his fellow villagers saying unpleasant things one after another, Wang Erdan immediately stopped them.
"Look at him! Shen Jiangjue is going to bully us common folk just because he put on those clothes. If you don't help him now, aren't you afraid that one of you will be the one lying here in the future?" Wang Erdan shouted again.
Shen Jiang spoke up, "You clearly did something wrong, I'm handing you over to the police right now."
"What wrong have I done? Stop slandering me and let me go, or I'll continue to report Xu Qingmo for speculation and profiteering. Otherwise, where would she get so much money?" Wang Erdan blurted out in his desperation.
It's too late to back out.
After Wang Erdan said these words, the other villagers looked at him with pity.
How dare he mess with Xu Qingmo? Has this kid had enough of a good life?
Two police officers who happened to be on a patrol happened to pass by and were called over.
When Wang Erdan saw the police arrive, he instinctively tried to break free from Chenjiang's restraints and escape. His strange behavior attracted the police's attention.
Xu Qingmo said from the side, "Officer, please catch this murderer! He's the one who killed Er Gou."
Wang Erdan panicked completely and hurriedly retorted, "Nonsense! I didn't kill Ergou at all. He died at the barefoot doctor's house. What does that have to do with me?"
Wang Erdan's words completely exposed his true intentions.
Because the fact that Er Gou died at the barefoot doctor's house was covered up.
This was Xu Qingmo's idea, and both the barefoot doctor and those in the know thought it was a good approach.
After discussing with the police, they unanimously announced to the public that Er Gou died in the cowshed.
Everyone in the village thought Er Gou died in the cowshed, but only those in the know and the murderer knew that Er Gou actually died at the barefoot doctor's house.
There's no need for an investigation; Wang Erdan has already been exposed.
The police officers stepped forward and handcuffed Wang Erdan, saying sharply, "You're under arrest. Come with us to the police station."
"I didn't do anything wrong, why are you arresting me? I'm not having it!" Wang Erdan was arrested by two policemen, but he was still agitated and wanted to escape.
They frequently warned, "If you refuse to cooperate, we will take special measures."
Wang Erdan chickened out. His excitement just now was just an act. He thought that this would get him released.
In reality, he was being too naive.
Xu Qingmo was also taken into the police car. Because of her young age, her mother, Wang Jing, also went along. Shen Jiang, feeling uneasy, also came along.
Several people got into the police car, but there wasn't enough room, so Shenjiang had to drive behind them.
Just as Wang Jing and Xu Qingmo got into the police car, Wang Xiuzhi went home to get some things and happened to see this scene. She thought that the mother and daughter had done something wrong and had been arrested by the police. She excitedly waved her arms and legs and gave Xu Qingmo in the car a mocking smile.
"The two plague gods are finally gone! Our family will have good days from now on. The old man has finally seen the light!" Wang Xiuzhi clapped excitedly.
A passing villager deliberately struck up a conversation with Wang Xiuzhi, saying, "Wang Xiuzhi, you also know about that incident? Your granddaughter and former daughter-in-law caught the murderer who killed Er Gou, and now they're going to the police station to give a statement. I even heard they're going to be rewarded. Your family's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke, having such a capable granddaughter."
Wang Xiuzhi's smile vanished. "What? What's the reward?"
"Xu Qingmo caught Wang Erdan, who killed Er Gou. She's a hero, and the police will reward her. You'll definitely benefit from it too. I really envy you for having such a wonderful granddaughter."
Wang Xiuzhi had intended to watch the mother and daughter's reputations be ruined and wait to see them make a fool of themselves, but to her surprise, they were to be rewarded by the police.
My heart sank.
Wang Xiuzhi said irritably, "Would you like such a good granddaughter?"
The other person was taken aback, but quickly agreed, "Yes, of course I want it! Everyone in the village knows that Xu Qingmo is a reincarnated fairy who can kill a grown wild boar with her bare hands. She has pork to eat and meat soup to drink every day. You've benefited from this too. How can you not want such a good life? Give it to me, give it all to me."
Wang Xiuzhi felt that the other party was deliberately trying to cause trouble. Everyone knew that Xu Qingmo and she didn't get along. She and Xu Yuanyuan had only stolen a meal once, and the whole village treated them like thieves, chasing and shouting at them.
They've completely lost face.
Now that someone has exposed my wounds to my face, I feel a surge of resentment. "You shameless bastard, you're deliberately trying to make me unhappy, aren't you? You're so rotten you're practically oozing pus, so rotten you'll bleed, you'll die a horrible death..."
"Wang Xiuzhi, have you gone crazy running around the village naked? I praised you, and you don't appreciate it at all. You shameless thing."
The two were hurling insults at each other, neither willing to give in.
Meanwhile, Xu Qingmo and Wang Jing took a car to the town's police station, where they gave their statements. Afterward, the police offered to take them back, but they politely declined.
During this time, Xu Qingmo went hunting in the mountains with Wang Dazhuang and the others, and learned that there was a black market in town where you could buy whatever you wanted with money, without needing a ticket.
Moreover, the black market opens at 9 p.m.
It's already 8 PM, and we can go to the black market soon.
Wang Jing understood Xu Qingmo's thoughts and agreed, letting Shen Jiang stay at the police station to help out. Wang Jing then drove Xu Qingmo to the black market.
Forty minutes later, Wang Jing deliberately parked the car 500 meters away from the black market and led Xu Qingmo to the black market.
Tang Ming and her daughter were targeted as soon as they entered the black market.
