Chapter 86: Oxcart
After all, fortunately, although Liu Yingying’s matter has more or less implicated their family, at least their entire family was not dragged into it.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise. In the days to come, he will have to find a way to find a lawyer for Liu Yingying.
Father Liu felt very upset when he thought about it. He felt that this daughter Liu Yingying was born to bring bad luck to him.
From childhood to adulthood, he couldn't count how many times he had wiped Liu Yingying's butt.
Even every time Liu Yingying got into trouble, he was the one who cleaned up the mess in the end.
Because of this, his old wife often complained that he doted on their daughter Liu Yingying too much, but he didn't take it seriously at first.
He thought it was his own wife who kept nagging in his ear, maybe because she was not happy with him doting on his daughter too much and neglecting his two sons, so he didn't pay attention to it. But now, when he thought about it, it was indeed the case. It was because he repeatedly spoiled Liu Yingying that Liu Yingying developed this kind of character and was directly distorted.
She was just bullying the girls of her age in the village. Because of her family connections, those families didn't dare to cause trouble for Liu Yingying, so they could only follow the child and endure the frustration.
The situation is different today. Liu Yingying has offended Jiang Xian and has hit a wall directly.
Not only did he fail to bully others, but he ended up getting himself into trouble. Isn't this a living example?
It was all his fault for not educating his daughter well, which led to the disaster today. At the beginning, although everyone in the village had a bad opinion of Liu Yingying, she was not so bad as to do such a wrong thing.
It's nothing more than a little fight between girls due to jealousy, pushing each other here and there, which is harmless.
Like what they are doing now, pushing Jiang Xian into the river and trying to drown him is a serious crime.
Even as a father, he found it difficult to accept this matter.
He had no way to accept such a daughter. He felt that Liu Yingying was completely bad to the core.
With a daughter like this at home, who knows, she might harm strangers today, or harm her own family members someday. How could Liu's father not be afraid?
But in the end, he was helpless. Although he tried to resist in front of Lu Bin just now, trying to push Liu Yingying out,
This was to prevent Lu Bin from losing his temper and taking his anger out on their entire family. But now, after arriving at the police station, some of them were still somewhat protective of their daughter. After all, Liu Yingying was his own daughter, and he couldn't just abandon Liu Yingying and ignore her.
He said he felt bad, but after all, they were his own children. If he didn't care, the gossip of the villagers would be enough to bring down his entire family.
They still have to live in this village for a long time. If they really ignore Liu Yingying, the villagers will scold their whole family for being cold-blooded.
But if he really intervened, they would then say that he, as a father, could not tell right from wrong and only sided with his daughter.
No matter what you do, you're stuck in a dilemma.
The people in this village are like this. If something like what happened today happens, their family will definitely be laughed at by the villagers in the future. After all, having a daughter in prison is indeed a bit embarrassing.
There is no way around it.
Jiang Xian couldn't find any chance of reconciliation at all. Besides, Liu's father didn't dare to take the initiative to run to Lu Bin and Jiang Xian and ask them to reconcile.
If reconciliation fails, he might even get beaten up.
Naturally, he didn't dare to take that risk, so he might as well give up struggling and go directly to help Liu Yingying find a lawyer.
The thought of finding a lawyer.
Father Liu began to resent Liu Yingying again, thinking that she was simply a troublemaker.
Not only has he lost his job, but his family has also lost a large amount of income. Now he has to spend money to find a lawyer for Liu Yingying. This amount of money is simply a huge expense.
There is no way, he has to spend the money.
When I think about the current economic situation at home, I feel suffocated.
His wife has always been extravagant when it comes to spending money. She only knows how to ask for things and doesn't know how to earn money. She has no idea at all how hard it is for him to make money alone outside.
He had some idea of the family's savings, and there was not much money at all. Besides, his two sons were not engaged yet. If they got engaged in the future, it would cost a lot of money.
Otherwise, how could he have held on to the job at the educated youth point and refused to let go, no matter who wanted to take over his job?
In the final analysis, he just wanted to deduct some money from the food allowance in the educated youth center to supplement the family income. Now, all his thoughts have been ruined by his unlucky daughter.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Father Liu was still somewhat disappointed with his son. He felt extremely regretful and thought that if he had known this earlier, he would not have done it in the first place.
If he had known that there would be a scene at the police station today, he would never have come to the educated youth center to cause trouble no matter what. After all, he still knew his limits. He didn't expect that Lu Bin cared so much about Jiang Xian.
Father Liu sighed in his heart, thinking that the prestige of his Liu family might be completely consumed at this moment.
In any case, before this, because of the way his family did things, many people in the village were afraid of them.
Now he more or less feels like a tiger in dire straits being bullied by dogs. Moreover, he has lost his position in the village. How can he not be ostracized?
This is simply a matter of time. He feels bitter but cannot say it out.
After all, it's all their own fault.
Liu Yingying was detained right after the interrogation. Before being detained, she was still there, howling and crying, begging Liu's father to save her.
That look was simply unbearable to look at.
If you say Liu Yingying is pitiful, she is actually quite hateful.
If she hadn't been so vicious, today wouldn't have happened. Jiang Xian had been watching the scene from the side, and she really couldn't feel any sympathy in her heart. After all, she was not a saint.
I can't do something like, if someone wants to kill me, I can still spare her life.
She has always been the type of person who would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go.
Jiang Xian thought, judging from what Liu Yingying had done before, if killing was not illegal in this world, Liu Yingying would have died at her hands eight hundred times already.
Calling the police now means she is forgiving her.
There was no need for her to do so, as Liu Yingying was a stinky rat and her hands were covered in fishy smell.
There is no need to do that because she has dirty her hands. It would be better to let the law solve the matter and give everyone fairness.
Everyone knew this truth in their hearts, so at this moment, after taking the statements and leaving the police station, everyone looked extremely quiet.
On the other hand, the village chief, upon seeing Lu Bin and Jiang Xian coming out, took the initiative to speak up and suggested:
"This town is not far from our village."
"There are so many of us, why not rent a bullock cart and share the burden, and we can walk less."
The village chief is old. If it were a young man, he would find it difficult to travel from the town to the village, let alone him, an old man who is nearly seventy years old.
It was understandable that he asked to take a ox cart back. Moreover, to be honest, it only cost one dime per person to take a ox cart, which was not expensive at all. However, if there were few people, the ox cart would not go to their village at all. They could only get together and if there were enough people, the ox cart driver would be willing to take them along.
Only the village chief would make such a suggestion.
If he was alone, the car would not have left at all.
The cost of the round trip is not a penny and can be earned back.
Several villagers who were traveling together stopped immediately after hearing the village chief's words. After all, they also felt that it was too tiring to walk back and were wondering how to get back.
They had thought about using ox carts, but they felt that if there were too few people, the driver might not be willing to make the trip at all.
But now that the village chief has brought it up, things are different.
When these people travel together, the drivers earn more money and naturally become willing to drive to the countryside.
If you count all the people who came, including Lu Bin and Jiang Xian, there were a total of eight or nine people in their group.
Just enough to fill a car.
Liu's father was also worried about how to get back. If he walked, it would take almost an hour and he would be exhausted.
He originally thought that he would stand at the intersection heading out of the city and wait for a while. If he met someone he knew, he could give him a ride.
As a result, when he heard what the village chief said, he immediately became interested. After all, a ride on a ox cart only cost a dime, which was not expensive at all. He could still afford this amount of money.
When Liu's father's gaze fell on Jiang Xian and Lu Bin, he instantly became timid.
He became afraid and thought that if he had to sit in a car with Lu Bin and Jiang Xian, he would rather not sit in the car and walk back, otherwise he would be worried and scared all the way.
Someone in his family has already been sent to prison, and he doesn't want to be the second one.
But if he really had to walk all the way back, he would feel tired just thinking about it.
He looks to be in his early sixties, but on weekdays, he never does any heavy work.
Basically, all the heavy work at home was done by his old wife. As time went on, he basically never did any heavy work. Without exercise for a long time, his body naturally became much weaker.
Often he would feel out of breath after walking for a while.
If he walked back to the village, he would probably have to lie on the kang for two days.
It's an old body and can't stand the slightest bit of hardship.
So Liu's father was hesitant.
As for the villagers who came with him to the police station to testify, their eyes lit up and they were instantly moved after hearing the village chief's proposal.
This ox cart ride is not expensive, so there is no reason for them to refuse. There is no need to endure the hardship.
They all took the initiative to speak up one by one:
"I agreed to take the bullock cart. It's such a long distance. If I walk back, I will be exhausted to death."
"I will also go back by ox cart. If we all go together, we will have enough people and can set off directly."
"Me too, me too, what do I need a bicycle for ten cents, everyone take one with me."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. In the end, the village chief discovered that only Lu Bin, Jiang Xian, and Liu's father were left without speaking.
He looked towards Jiang Xian and the other three and asked:
"Aren't you three going back together in the bullock cart?"
"The journey back is quite long. If we take a bullock cart, even though you young people have good legs, it can still save a lot of time."
When the village chief said this, he was somewhat tentative. After all, he knew that Lu Bin's family was very poor, and he just thought that Lu Bin wanted to save this dime and use it for medical treatment for the elderly at home.
As for Liu's father, the village chief simply ignored him. After all, this troublesome guy caused everyone to accompany him to the police station.
How unlucky!
If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have come here today, nor would they have spent money to take a ox cart back. After all, it was already very good that they didn't let Liu's father pay for their cart fare.
The village chief has always turned a blind eye to the things happening in the educated youth’s center, and he doesn’t want to exaggerate the matter.
The villagers also complained about the fact that Liu's father withheld the food from the educated youth.
It's really strange that their family can live like that with the money that Liu's father earns every day.
Everyone has seen how the old woman in Liu's father's family spends money. If she had continued to spend money the way she did, the Liu family would have been out of money long ago.
