But in fact, this is considered murder. If it is really investigated, the person will be shot. This is a life-threatening matter.
Upon seeing this, the police seriously interrogated the couple and gave them criticism and education.
"Parents shouldn't lose their conscience. This is the first time I've seen someone beat their own child like this. If you dare to do this again, I'll arrest you and put you in jail for ten or eight years."
Sometimes it is a headache for the police to deal with these people. No matter what they say, they won’t listen, and no matter how they reason with them, they can only scare them.
When the couple heard that they were going to go to jail for ten or eight years, they were so scared that they were stunned. They didn't dare to argue. They just nodded and shouted that they would never do it again.
Even so, the police still asked them to sign a letter of guarantee and asked them both to put their fingerprints on it, and of course, they also left their names and addresses.
Seeing that the police were so responsible, Zheng Wangshu expressed his sincere gratitude.
The old police officer waved his hand and said, "Serving the people is what we should do. Comrades, you are kind people, and we should be grateful to you."
After a few pleasantries, Zheng Wangshu and the others left. Seeing the little boy following the couple and turning his head to look at him, Zheng Wangshu's eyes turned red for some reason.
But she also knew that she had done what she should do. Just now, when no one was looking, she secretly gave the child fifty yuan and left him a phone number, telling him that he could call this number if he encountered an emergency.
The little boy didn't say anything, but just stared at the note seriously for a long time. Then he looked up and said thank you, but tears were glistening in his eyes.
Zhou Jingchuan also sighed, with some sadness in his eyes. Maybe it was because he loved the little boy so much that he felt sorry for him because the little boy looked like Zheng Wangshu.
The couple wanted to take action, but when they thought of the old policeman's words, they held back. If they were caught, it would be terrible. They would be the first people in the village to go to jail and would never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
Seeing Zheng Wangshu still there in a daze, Zheng Guiying patted Zheng Wangshu on the back.
"Let's go, Wangshu."
The group then got in the car and left.
After getting in the car, Zheng Wangshu was still in a bad mood, and so were the others. When they talked again, the atmosphere was no longer the same as before.
By the time they arrived at the farm, it was already evening and dark. Zheng Wangshu and his colleagues settled the old couple down before driving home.
They had originally decided to stay there for a day or two, so the two children were not there and followed Li Ruhui. After washing up, they went to bed early.
As Zheng Wangshu was already tired after a whole day of tossing and turning, she fell asleep without saying a word. Seeing this, Zhou Jingchuan tucked in the corner of the quilt for her and then closed his eyes.
As for Zheng Jianjun, Zheng Wangshu didn't go to inform him until the next day. After learning the whole story, Zheng Jianjun was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.
"He's really getting backwards. Even at his age, he doesn't understand such a simple truth. No, I have to go back and ask him how he takes care of his parents!"
It's no wonder that Zheng Jianjun is so angry. Although Zheng Jianjun can't go back to take care of his parents, he will send back some money every month for expenses. He also gives benefits to Zheng Jianguo so that they can treat the old couple better.
The result is this? The second child actually stole his parents' pension money to spend on his parents-in-law. It's absolutely ridiculous.
"Okay, Dad, you don't have to go back. Now the family has been divided, and I brought the old couple to the city. They are now at the farm. If you have time to go back and argue with them, you might as well go visit grandpa and grandma."
At this point, Zheng Wangshu sneered again, "Even people like my second uncle, when they suffer a great loss, you don't need to teach them a lesson. He won't listen at all, as if he has been brainwashed."
Gu Meiqi, who was standing by, was so angry when she heard these words. Zheng Wangshu was such a troublemaker that he actually brought those two old guys to the city.
Although they said they lived in the farm, it was close, and Zheng Jianjun was so filial that he would definitely go there whenever he had time, which would be a considerable expense.
"How can we let the old couple live with Xiao Zhou? I'll go and bring them back tomorrow. After all, it's not your turn as their granddaughter to support them. I, their son, am still here."
Sure enough, the chauvinistic Zheng Jianjun spoke up and decided to bring his parents back to take care of them.
Zheng Wangshu wanted to say that it was not necessary, and that the old couple was fine living on the farm, but she just didn't say anything, just waiting to see Gu Meicen's reaction.
Sure enough, Gu Meicen panicked and spoke with a wry smile.
"Jianjun, it's nice to let Mom and Dad live on the farm. Xiao Zhou's place is spacious. Our house is so crowded, Mom and Dad might not like it. They can go out and have a walk around on the farm. You'd better not bring the old couple back to suffer."
She looked like she was considering the two elders and seemed to have no selfish motives at all.
Zheng Jianjun was silent for a long time, and after a while he said, "That makes sense."
Gu Meiqin was overjoyed. This man finally listened to her words.
But Zheng Jianjun's next words immediately made her furious.
"If you don't provide a place to live, then just increase the monthly alimony a little bit, give them fifteen dollars a month. You can't let them eat and drink at Xiao Zhou's place."
Fifteen yuan is only Zheng Jianjun's monthly salary. Everything else goes into expenses. With this amount, she can't save much money in a month. What will happen to her son when he gets married? He might not even be able to find a wife by then.
"Jianjun, if we give you this much, we won't have enough money. We have a lot of expenses at home, such as food and drink, the children need to go to school, and we need to buy some new furniture in a few days."
Gu Meiqi said with an embarrassed look, as if the salary Zheng Jianjun earned was not enough for her to spend.
But Zheng Wangshu knew in his heart how much money could be spent on food and drink at this time? Zheng Jianjun was a leader after all, and he had 100 yuan a month, so how could it not be enough?
Zheng Jianjun obviously thought of something and looked at his wife inquiringly.
"Not enough money? How much does food and drink cost? I'm a grown man and I really don't understand these things. How about you keep a ledger from now on? At the end of the month, I'll calculate it and see if it's enough. If not, I'll find another way."
Gu Meiqin's expression froze. She overreported her living expenses every month so that she could embezzle some and save it to have her own small treasury.
If I keep a record of it, wouldn’t it be exposed?
"No, it's too troublesome to keep accounts. Fifteen is fine. I'll save some money later."
Zheng Wangshu on the side couldn't help but laugh. It seems that this cheap father is not stupid either. His mind works very quickly.
After Zheng Wangshu finished speaking, he went downstairs to the farm with Zheng Jianjun.
