Chapter 316 Paying the Ransom



"Hello, police officer. I'm so sorry to trouble you. Actually, my daughter and that girl are classmates. This is just a joke between classmates. They know each other. My daughter didn't pry open the door. She just knocked on the door to play with her classmate.

This girl came back from outside and found someone at the door. She came up and beat my daughter without asking any questions. She also asked us to pay 20 kilograms of food. How could we afford it? Didn’t this lead to some misunderstandings?

It's just a matter between children, and it's all over once it's explained."

As he spoke, he secretly stuffed half a pack of cigarettes into Qi Li's hand.

Cigarettes are hard to come by now, so no one gives a whole box of them as a gift anymore. People give them one by one, and half a box is considered a big gift.

Qi Li touched the half-empty pack of cigarettes in his hand and smiled.

This person is quite generous.

Doesn't this make him make a mistake?

After laughing, he stuffed the cigarette back and turned cold.

"Your daughter just admitted that she broke into the house, and you are still quibbling. Do you want to be taken away too? Also, don't think of taking any crooked paths. Once they are reformed, they will be sent back naturally."

The premise is that they can both survive.

After the natural disaster, the hardest and most tiring work was assigned to these prisoners.

That workload is too much for even a strong adult man to handle, let alone two women.

After saying that, he walked forward with a cold face, picked up Su Qian and her stepmother, one in each hand, and carried them away on the left and right like they were carrying chickens.

There was not a single gossiper.

Su Qian's father stood there with a very ugly expression on his face.

He used to be a prominent figure, but this guy wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes before, but now he's shaking.

He just felt a bad feeling surging in his chest.

Ever since the natural disaster struck, he felt that everything was going wrong.

The two people in the room could no longer stand.

Rushed out directly.

The youngest son is 8 years old this year, and his crying voice is deafening, "I don't want my mother to leave, I don't want my mother to leave!"

He is very fair and looks completely different from the children in Ji He's family.

Su Qian's stepsister quickly rushed to Qi Li and blocked her mother's way, not letting her leave. "Wait, we are willing to pay the fine and redeem the person."

She doesn't care if Su Qian is taken away, but she can't bear to leave her mother.

She may not be a good stepmother, but she is definitely a good mother.

Su Qian's stepmother's eyes turned red and her voice choked with sobs when she heard this.

"No, daughter, there's no need. It's just work, isn't it? Mom can do it. Go back and look after your brother. This little bit of food is hard to come by. Save it and eat it. I'll come back to find you when I finish my work."

Her daughter's eyes were also a little red, but she didn't move. The meaning was very clear.

Qi Li glanced at her.

He is more responsible than that man. He doesn't make things difficult for others and handles things impartially.

"There is a saying that you can use food to buy your prison term. The amount of food you need to buy your life will vary depending on your prison term. But don't blame me for not telling you. This requires a lot of food. For one person, the minimum amount is 50 kilograms."

"If there are two people, then at least 100 kilograms of food will be needed."

As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp from everyone around.

You have to know that a talented person is busy in a one-star book. If he does not have special luck, the supplies and silver coins he gets in the end will only be about 10 kilograms of food in total.

The better ones don’t weigh more than 20 kilograms.

This time, 50 kilograms were taken away.

How can it not be more?

After the introduction of this policy, its punitive significance is greater than its implementation significance.

Not many people chose it.

After all, there is really no need for someone who can afford so much food to rob.

Those who rob cannot afford to take out food.

While the crowd was talking, the short-haired girl came up to Ji He, smiling and rubbing her hands.

"Sister, I called it for you, that...that...hehehe."

Although this person didn’t say he would give soybeans, but what if?

It’s not much, half is fine.

Ji He glanced at her. Although this person said that he wanted something, there was no greed in his eyes, which made her not dislike him.

He took out a handful of salt and pepper soybeans and said, "Hold out your hand."

The girl was full of surprise. She wiped the tears on her clothes first, then raised her hands and said, "Thank you, boss. Thank you, thank you. If you need anything in the future, please call me. I am the most reliable person."

Ji He didn't say anything.

At this time, Su Qian's stepsister in the distance had already made up her mind and nodded firmly, "I will pay for the food and redeem my mother."

She didn't mention Su Qian at all.

She and Su Qian had no good relationship at all, and it was impossible for her to pay for food for Su Qian.

50 kilograms of food was not particularly much for her. If she sold water, she would be able to get the money together sooner or later.

At worst, I can sell more water when I get to the base.

Qi Li glanced at Su Qian, who looked unhappy, and nodded, "Then you come with me first. After we calculate the food and sign the treaty, you can bring the food to exchange for people."

After saying that, he glanced at Ji He, motioned for her to follow him, and turned to go downstairs.

Su Qian's father's face turned pale and blue at this moment. He would not take out so much food, and he would not give it to that woman.

He would rather save his daughter, after all they are related by blood.

But my stepdaughter is a gifted person, so it’s not a good idea to just break up with her.

I stood there, wanting to follow him out, but I was afraid that the house would be empty since no one was home.

Feeling annoyed, he turned around and slapped the child on the back, "Cry, cry, cry, your mother is not dead! Why are you crying?"

He stood up and took the two of them directly to the security room on the first floor, opened the door, and motioned for the two of them to

"Hold your head and squat down."

Although Su Qian and her stepmother were somewhat reluctant, they didn't say anything and just squatted down obediently.

There were a lot of people in the room, some had just returned from duty outside to rest, and some were about to go out.

"Captain Qi, what's going on?"

"Pry open the door, and the family will have to redeem it with food."

Hearing this, the man glanced at the two people squatting on the ground.

It would be best if you could redeem it.

These two guys don't look like they are cut out for work. If they were taken there, they would be rejected for their poor physique.

Qi Li found a notebook, took out a pen, and started registering.

"Name."

"Su Qian."

"The crime committed."

"…I have committed no crime. I am innocent."

Qi Li didn't even raise his head, "Robbery."

Su Qian's stepsister was indifferent to Su Qian, but felt a little distressed about her mother squatting on the ground.

But she held back.

Interrogated together.

Qi Li announced, "Su Qian, burglary, not serious, reform sentence of 3 months, redemption of 60 kilograms of grain. Song Lihua, instigating others to burglary, not serious, reform sentence of 2 months, redemption of 50 kilograms of grain."

"Okay, if you want to redeem it, go get the food now."

Su Qian's stepsister nodded when she heard this, gave her mother a reassuring smile, and without even looking at Su Qian, turned around and walked upstairs.

Fortunately, my mother was in the lowest category, with 50 kilograms of food.

Her family can still afford it.
