Chapter 581: Being Tricked
At ten o'clock the next day, Pan Yuexiang and Li Xiaoxiang went to get the money.
Li Xiaoxiang moved the flowerpot, but there were only a few ants underneath, and no money.
"Mom, he's playing tricks on us!" Li Xiaoxiang cursed.
"Is it..." Before Pan Yuexiang could finish her words, she saw several police officers rushing out of the house and the yard.
Then came the repeated "Don't move".
"Comrade, it's them! Li Xiaoxiang committed a crime and is trying to flee Suzhou, so he came to me to extort money!"
Pan Yuexiang looked at the man in surprise. She didn't expect him to be so cruel.
She rushed towards the man with such strength that several police officers were unable to hold her back.
Pan Yuexiang grabbed the man's collar with her left hand and slapped him with her right hand until she was pulled away.
"You Chen Shimei! You abandoned your wife and children to marry a new love! Now you don't even care about your own son! You are so cruel!" Pan Yuexiang cried.
In the end, the public security comrades took the two back to the police station.
Sitting in the police station, Pan Yuexiang glanced at her son. They had agreed last night that he must not admit to the fraud, but he could admit to the assault.
Pan Yuexiang began to cry:
"My son is an honest man. He was forced into a fight by his stepfather! His stepfather cheated me out of all my money and doesn't work. The whole family relies on my son and me doing odd jobs to make a living. His stepfather also borrowed a lot of money. I am suffering! My child is suffering too!"
Comrades, please help us, we really didn’t mean to do that…”
This cry gave the public security comrades a preliminary understanding of their family situation.
Because they were in different jurisdictions, the two were sent to the neighborhood police station, and Zhuang Ganmei also rushed over.
When the person arrived, wow, his face looked like a dye shop.
Pan Yuexiang threw herself on Zhuang Ganmei and continued crying:
"Ganmei, don't blame Xiaoxiang. Please, please, let him go."
Zhuang Ganmei said to the police station comrades: "Can I talk to her alone?"
The comrades at the police station agreed that it was Li Xiaoxiang who beat the man, and it had nothing to do with Pan Yuexiang.
"Let me tell you, Li Xiaoxiang has done something serious! Not only did he beat me like this, but my mother also broke her waist and hit her head. Now she's in the hospital unable to move. I married you, but he was working when we got married. He was an adult, and he didn't call me dad. I can hold him accountable!" Zhuang Ganmei said anxiously.
Pan Yuexiang saw it at that time, and saw Old Mrs. Zhuang falling to the ground, and she had no idea that she was so seriously injured.
"What do you want?" Pan Yuexiang asked, wiping her face.
"Of course you have to take care of her! If you can get her out of the hospital, I won't pursue the matter." Zhuang Ganmei couldn't stand it anymore after taking care of her for a whole night and a morning.
Pan Yuexiang knew what Zhuang Ganmei meant. He didn't want to take care of Zhuang's mother, but he couldn't ignore Zhuang's mother because she still had a salary.
Obviously, the money cannot be taken back, but the money owed must be repaid, so Zhuang's mother's salary is very important.
As for Pan Yuexiang herself, as long as Li Xiaoxiang is not locked up now, she can let him leave immediately.
The son had been cheated for such a long time and was not in the same place. Even if Zhuang Ganmei reported it to the police, the scammers would definitely not be found, and her son would be fine.
She would wait until Li Xiaoxiang had been gone for a while before leaving. After all, the fraud had nothing to do with her, and she had lost fifteen hundred yuan!
She took only a brief moment to think, then nodded.
Zhuang Ganmei explained to the comrades at the police station that the fight had broken out because the combined family had quarreled over some trivial matters, and then they signed a certificate of non-prosecution before leaving.
After leaving the police station, Li Xiaoxiang ran away.
"Hey! Him!" Zhuang Ganmei shouted when she saw the man ran away.
Pan Yuexiang walked to the other end: "Oh, don't worry about him, he can't help. Let's go to the hospital."
Zhuang Ganmei was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't want to take care of Zhuang's mother by himself, so he said to Pan Yuexiang viciously:
"I'm telling you, you'd better not run away. As long as my mom isn't released from the hospital, I'll go to the police station and report him! I'll give him a criminal record and see what he'll do!"
"I understand. Xiaoxiang was indeed wrong in this matter. It is my duty to take care of him. I won't run away. If I run away, I will be in an unfamiliar place. I'm afraid of being kidnapped!" Pan Yuexiang said in a humble tone.
"Then you go to Room 203 on the second floor of the Orthopedics Department of the People's Hospital. I'm going to do something." Zhuang Ganmei said and then left.
He went to Zhuang Chaoying's house.
Today is a day off, so his elder brother must be at home.
When he reached the entrance of the alley, he looked around and saw that it seemed quite quiet, so he walked in.
Today he decided not to go against the people in this alley. He would play the victim and insist that his brothers and sisters take care of Zhuang's mother and see if they could give them some money to buy nutritional supplements.
When he walked to the front of the yard, someone opened the door and came out. It was a burly man he didn't know.
"Don't forget to bring back the broken bones Xiao'e gave you to feed Dahei." The person who sent him out was a woman of the same broad and plump figure.
"I see," the man replied. Turning around, he saw Zhuang Ganmei and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Zhuang Ganmei swallowed her saliva and asked politely, "Who are you..."
"This is my home, who are you looking for?" the man shouted.
"Oh, may I ask, where is Teacher Zhuang's family who used to live here?" Zhuang Ganmei took a step back and asked.
"Oh, you mean Teacher Zhuang! Their whole family has moved away, and this is my home now." said the man.
Zhuang Ganmei was very surprised and grabbed the man who was about to leave and asked, "Do you know where he moved to?"
The man swung his hand and said, "Let go! How would I know where he moved to? Look for him somewhere else!"
Zhuang Ganmei was about to say something when suddenly, a large, pure black dog jumped out from the crack of the door and barked at him. He was so scared that he stepped back and sat down on the ground.
He felt that if the woman hadn't held the dog back, it would have pounced on him and bit him to death.
Hearing the dog barking, the neighbors, the Sun family, came out.
When Sun Lianggeng saw Zhuang Ganmei's face, he was shocked, but he still recognized her.
"You are Teacher Zhuang's prisoner brother. How dare you come here?"
"No, no, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to find my brother. My mother is injured and wants to see my brother and sister..." Zhuang Ganmei hurriedly explained.
"Prisoner! I think I'm still too polite!" The current tenant began to roll up his sleeves, and his wife loosened the dog chain in her hand again.
"You don't have to look for him! You forced Teacher Zhuang to leave Suzhou. I heard that he went to the Northwest to be a teacher!" Sun Lianggeng raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
Zhuang Ganmei was shocked: "No way! How is it possible!"
He couldn't imagine that his timid elder brother would be willing to give up his life in Suzhou.
"How is that impossible? With a plague god like you in the house, we have to run as far away as possible!" Sun Weihua stood by the door with a teacup in hand and sneered, "Teacher Zhuang is such a good person, yet he's been forced to leave his wife and children. People like you deserve to be struck by lightning!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to his new neighbor and said, "Uncle Jiang, have you seen Teacher Zhuang? He was the one who brought disaster to us."
Brother Jiang nodded and said, "I'm telling you, if you dare to enter this alley, you'll be trespassing. I'll let the dogs bite you! Don't worry, I won't bite you to death!"
When his name was called, Dahei started barking again.
Zhuang Ganmei stepped back repeatedly, looked at the Sun family and asked, "What about my sister? Where did she go?"
"It's still the same, just go as far as you can!" Sun Gengliang said deliberately.
When Zhuang Ganmei heard this, he lowered his head weakly. When the dog barked, he came to his senses and crawled out of the alley.
As soon as he ran out, everyone in the alley laughed.
Sun Weihua walked over to Dahei and stroked him: "He's so good! He usually doesn't cry when being pinched or stepped on, but today he cried when I told him to."
Brother Jiang smiled and said, "I guess they won't come again. If they do, if we're not home, whoever's in the alley can come out in the dark. My gate is locked."
"Okay!" Everyone in the Sun family responded quickly.
Brother Jiang went to sell fish with his lunch box. Jiang Manye was sitting between the fish stall and the pork stall watching over the stalls.
Brother Jiang handed Jiang Manye the meal he had brought for her, and told her about Zhuang Ganmei's visit. Jiang Manye went home and told Song Ying about it.
It turned out that Brother Jiang was able to rent such a nice yard at a price lower than the market price because it was introduced by Jiang Manye. Zhu Xiu Yu wanted someone who could take care of the yard, and Brother Jiang just happened to need to rent a house.
