Chapter 249: Torture
The news that thieves had broken into Secretary Song's house quickly spread throughout Lingxia Village.
After hearing this, Sister Jin was also worried about the couple's hidden private money. She was so scared that she hurried back to her room to check. Not a penny was missing. She breathed a sigh of relief and followed her sister-in-law in scolding: "Those who stole chickens and dogs should be locked up and fed in a wooden barn."
Her sister-in-law also cursed: "They are just lazy people who like to eat and do nothing. They deserve to be beaten to death."
Then he looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, your brother is really lucky. He came yesterday and we will share the meat today."
The previous sentence still expresses the common hatred of the enemy, and the next sentence is almost saying that the sister-in-law asked her brother from her natal family to eat meat.
Sister Jin felt very wronged and she didn't know why her brother came.
Even though her own brother came to visit, she didn't dare to chase him away?
She could only say calmly: "He was thinking about his nephew, so he specially brought some fish and several kilograms of lotus roots."
Girls who are getting married all say that they want to bring honor to both families.
Even if her relationship with her brother is not very good, she cannot let him be looked down upon by his sisters-in-law.
At this time, Captain Song came in with his hands behind his back, looked at Sister Jin and said, "Weiqi's family, are your father-in-law and your husband here?"
Anyway, most of the people in the village are related. In fact, Sister Jin’s husband’s grandfather and Captain Song’s father are cousins.
They haven't left the fifth generation of mourning yet, so they move around frequently.
Sister Jin smiled and called out, "Uncle is here, come in and sit down, Dad and the others are playing cards in the house."
There is nothing to kill time in the countryside. We are busy all year round, and only during the Chinese New Year do we have time to play cards.
Captain Song went into the house and saw only three people playing Landlord, and five people watching nearby. He waited until they finished fighting before sending them away: "Okay, go back and have lunch. Your wives are all looking for someone in the whole village."
The main thing is that what he wants to talk about is not good things, but ugly things.
So I try not to spread it.
The other people who were playing cards also stood up and called him, "Come to my house to play in the afternoon, Ah Sheng, you can come too."
Even though he is the team leader, he has only been in the position for less than two years and is definitely not as good as Secretary Song.
Besides, there are many people in the village who are older and of higher seniority than him.
Captain Song could only smile and agree: "Okay."
When only the three of them were left inside, Party Secretary Song sighed, "Something happened. Weiqi, your brother-in-law went to Party Secretary's house and stole 100 yuan. Now he's been caught. Come with me quickly."
"What?" Song Weiqi's face changed, panicking: "That kid wasn't so bold before?"
"His family is not short of money, right? They wouldn't do such a thing, right?"
Song Weiqi's father's face also sank, and he could only say: "Don't talk about it for now, let's go first."
To avoid being discovered, they walked separately, one front and one back.
When everyone arrived, the door of Secretary Song's house was closed.
Secretary Song said solemnly, "Xiao Gu sends him 20 yuan every month, and the young couple has saved 100 yuan this year."
"They were originally going to give us money as a gift and buy some New Year's gifts to send over there, but they just put all the money in the drawer."
"Who would have thought that your brother-in-law, Weiqi, was so courageous that he dared to break into an empty house in broad daylight."
"Luckily, when he ran out, he bumped into Xiao Gu who was coming back from the farm."
Song Weiqi took a look at the man with a bruised face and nose and could hardly recognize that he was his brother-in-law.
He didn't know what to say for a moment and looked at his wife.
After hearing this, Sister Jin's legs went limp. She originally wanted to hit her brother a few times just to show her respect, but when she saw his forehead was so swollen that it was as big as that of an old centenarian, she didn't dare to do it.
After all, he has been beaten half to death now.
She could only cry and say, "Baoliang, how can you be so shallow? How could you do such a thing?"
The unconscious Jin Baoliang was beaten awake by Chu Hong and others, and then threatened by Secretary Song and tortured into confessing. He was so frightened.
He couldn't refute that he was short-sighted and couldn't say that he went there for the people, not the money.
Of course, if he knew that such a large sum of money was casually placed in the drawer by them, he might also be tempted.
Unfortunately, at this moment, he can only pretend to be dead.
What are you talking about? I didn't dare to tell the truth and was forced to write a confession with my own hands. I could only accept what they said.
Therefore Jin Baoliang said nothing.
No, it was impossible for him to remain silent. His whole body ached and he couldn't help but groan.
I just hope it can be done quickly so I can be sent to the hospital.
His cotton-padded jacket was stripped off and he lay on the ground unable to move. He didn't feel cold because it was too painful.
Song Weiqi's father could only say: "Secretary, the child is ignorant, please be magnanimous, we will send an apology later."
Secretary Song also had a serious look on his face: "You all know that if you treat someone with dirty hands and feet, you deserve to be beaten to death. I will spare his life, but I want you to promise me that you will never let him set foot in Lingxia Village again."
Jin Bao thought to himself: Even if you begged me to come, I wouldn't dare to come.
This time the shadow cast on him was too big and too embarrassing.
Song Weiqi and the others all agreed immediately and originally wanted to help Jin Baoliang leave, but as soon as they touched him, he burst into tears and said it hurt.
In the end, they could only bring a door panel to help him move up, and then they carried him and found a bullock cart to take him to the hospital.
Previously, everyone in the village had heard that there had been a thief in Secretary Song's house. Now, when they saw Song Weiqi driving a bullock cart to take the "patient" to the city hospital, they all understood what was going on.
It soon spread that Song Weiqi's brother-in-law was not a clean man.
As for Chu Dan, it was already past four in the afternoon when he woke up from his sleep.
When she opened her eyes and saw her elder sister sitting beside her, she started crying and said, "I thought I had a nightmare, but when I saw you here, I knew it was real."
Chu Tong hurriedly threw away the cotton shoes in her hand, stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said gently: "Don't cry, you are fine, and no one knows."
He handed her a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it quickly. You've cried too much. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."
Chu Dan sniffed: "My second sister said that crying is good, tears can remove toxins and make your eyes brighter."
Then he said with a sullen face: "Then I have suffered a loss in silence, right?"
He sniffed again: "It smells so good, what are we having for dinner?"
Chu Tong felt a little confused as what she heard didn't make sense.
But you can also tell that she is not too sad, otherwise she wouldn't be so concerned about what to eat for dinner.
She took a deep breath and said, "Chu Hong is cooking dinner, stewing bones with pig blood. If you are hungry, why don't you get up and have dinner first?"
"No, I have to take a shower first." Chu Dan thought of what happened before and couldn't help shuddering: "That bastard actually dared to do that to me. I'm so sick just thinking about it."
"I will break his arm and his third leg to prevent him from harming other female comrades in the future."
