After hearing what Zhang Dabing said, Xie Heng also stopped and listened to what Zhang Dabing was going to say next.
Zhang Dabing said, "Xie Heng, those rumors outside are my fault. I didn't expect it to happen. But Xie Heng, you have a son, and you are also a father. Ultimately, the blame for this matter lies with me, your father.
But son-in-law, we're family, and conflicts are inevitable! Son-in-law, for the sake of my old face, please help Youcai. Youcai hadn't done anything wrong in the capital before, just a few trips to the police station. And the punishment wasn't for murder or arson.
Son-in-law, as long as you help Youcai this time, we will never bother you again in the future."
Then Zhang Dabing said a lot more, but Xie Heng looked like he was just standing there watching a show in front of Zhang Dabing and said nothing.
Xie Heng couldn't help but feel sarcastic in his heart, but at this moment Xie Heng still had a trace of respect for Zhang Dabing in his heart.
After all, in Xie Heng's heart, Zhang Dabing was a good father who would do anything for his son. From this, it can be seen how much Zhang Dabing valued and loved his only son, Zhang Youcai. Otherwise, how could a man like Zhang Dabing beg Xie Heng so humbly?
But Xie Heng would not do this, it was impossible for him to do it.
After seeing Zhang Dabing finish speaking, Xie Heng slowly spoke, "Dad, I will definitely not help you with this matter.
Now you know how big a fuss this matter has been in the family compound. If I really did it for you, who knows what the people there would say about me in front of me? And Dad, the chief has already heard about this. If he gets hold of me again, I'll really go back home and farm.
Dad, would you like to see this scene?
Oh, Dad, I forgot. After all, in your heart, there is only one son, Zhang Youcai, and you don't see the place of me, your son-in-law, at all.
But Dad, I, Xie Heng, cherish this military uniform I wear."
Zhang Dabing's cheeks flushed unnaturally after hearing these words. Even so, even if Xie Heng completely shut him up, Zhang Dabing continued to plead with Xie Heng, asking him to agree.
Faced with Xie Heng's decisive rejection again and again, Zhang Dabing became completely annoyed.
"Xie Heng, do you really think that you have grown so strong that you can ignore me, your father-in-law? Don't think that just because you are here and the emperor is far away, I can't do anything to you?
Xie Heng, don't forget how you got back to your current unit. In order to get back here, you accepted bribes!
Xie Heng, if I go to the chief and tell him about this, do you think you can still keep this uniform? Xie Heng, if you don’t agree to me, you won’t have a good life.
Xie Heng saw Zhang Dabing was completely annoyed. Instead of being worried, he laughed. "Dad, what do you mean? How did I get into this unit? How could I not know?"
Dad, the reason why I can return to my current unit is because of the organization's arrangement.
Dad, I thought there was still a trace of affection between us. After all, Zhang Yumei and I are still husband and wife. But now I didn't expect that you would not consider me as a family member. If that's the case, then we don't need to pretend in front of each other. Let's just be clear.
Dad, you want to use those things that happened back then to blackmail me, but Dad, have you ever thought about it, that you were the one who did all the things personally, and I didn't do anything.
I didn't show up, and even the money you used to smooth things over wasn't mine. If this matter is really investigated, who do you think will go back home?"
Zhang Dabing asked nervously, "Xie Heng, what do you mean?"
“Dad, I don’t mean anything, but you seem to be interested.
Dad, didn't I tell you that if you really want to tell the chief about this matter, once the investigation is complete, I will only receive a minor disciplinary action at best. But you are different.
Dad, this matter ultimately stems from your daughter Zhang Yumei forcing me to return to my current unit. It was you who listened to your daughter Zhang Yumei and orchestrated this. I know nothing about this matter, and I wasn't involved at all. So, Dad, it's you who couldn't withstand the investigation, not me, Xie Heng.
Dad, if you really want to poke me in the face, then I'm happy to accompany you. But who will take off the military uniform and go back to their hometown to farm? That's not certain. Dad, if I were you, I would definitely not be like this now. If I were you, I would definitely keep my tail between my legs and behave myself. Is the right and wrong of this matter really that important? After all, it's been so many years. If you want to investigate, you can definitely find out. If you don't want to investigate, you can't find out either.
"Dad, I didn't say anything. Think it over carefully!" After saying that, Xie Heng walked past Zhang Dabing and returned to the house.
After Xie Heng left, Zhang Dabing stood alone in the courtyard for a long time. He now knew what they were here to do and felt completely hopeless. In the end, Zhang Dabing's family had no choice but to leave the compound with their tails between their legs.
