Chapter 481: Deserved Punishment
Qu Caifeng was speechless.
Yes, she chose not to pursue the matter. After all, they were her biological parents and brother. They were so old, kneeling on the ground begging her. What could she do?
But I didn’t know that my parents had settled the matter privately with each other.
Lu Qiaoge looked at Qu Caifeng's uncertain expression, raised an eyebrow, and continued slowly: "Let's go back to the point of what you just said. Isn't it true that Tan Ying was not locked up?
To save you, Tan Ying had to break her idiot brother's legs. You know, that idiot is very strong and vicious. He once beat his newly married wife to death. Even three or two men couldn't subdue him. So, Tan Ying almost went to jail for you. She is your lifesaver, but from what I heard from your words just now, do you mean to repay kindness with hatred?
Before Lu Qiaoge came in, Qu Caifeng felt that she was always right, but after Lu Qiaoge stood in front of her, she felt speechless everywhere.
This is especially true now.
This time everyone started talking.
"Qu Caifeng, why are you silent? Director Lu has told you so much. Is this his explanation?"
"I finally understood. It seems Qu Caifeng feels bad because Tan Ying has a job, right?"
"I don't understand this. Tan Ying was also an oppressed and suffering girl, and I risked my life to save her. Why does Qu Caifeng dislike her?"
"Qu Caifeng, I've heard about this too. If Tan Ying hadn't hardened his heart, you don't know what would have happened to you."
"Yes, if Lu Qiaoge, Shao Le, and Chen Zhi hadn't been so persistent in tracking you down, you, Qu Caifeng, would have suffered a lot."
"Besides, all of this was caused by your parents' greed and cruelty, yet you chose to forgive them and not pursue the matter."
That's how it is, you deserve whatever fate you get.
Qu Caifeng finally spoke up to argue: "My parents are so old, no matter how I pursue it, I have no choice. And as for the Tan family, I think Tan Ying has bad intentions. Why didn't she just send me out and let me fight on my own?"
Sister Qiao sneered, "Do you really want Tan Ying to fight her parents? If you can forgive the parents who hurt you, why do you expect Tan Ying to be so cold-hearted towards her parents as well?"
Lu Qiaoge: "If you feel it's unfair, you can appeal again. The police will definitely accept it. If you feel it's not safe, you can also go to the security department and let our comrades help you get justice..."
Qu Caifeng's face turned pale. If she went to hold the Tan family accountable, they would definitely hold her parents and family members hostage.
Either send them all in, or just shut up?
Can she do that?
Not only could her parents kneel down and kowtow to her for mercy, they could also threaten her with drinking pesticides.
Someone sneered, "Qu Caifeng, do you still want to explain? But I think before you do, shouldn't you go and say thank you to Comrade Tan Ying?"
Others said: "Qu Caifeng, you are quite rich. The betrothal gift is 300 yuan."
Qu Caifeng gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Lu Qiaoge sighed: "To be honest, you, Qu Caifeng, are not innocent either."
Qu Caifeng glared, but now she found a point to refute.
"Lu Qiaoge, what do you mean? How can you talk like that? You're a cadre from the neighborhood office..."
Lu Qiaoge interrupted her and said, "If you hadn't promised to give your brother 300 yuan as a betrothal gift, the Tan family wouldn't have agreed to marry Tan Ying off. Speaking of which, Comrade Qu Caifeng, could you please tell me where you got the 300 yuan?"
Qu Caifeng: “…”
She suddenly regretted coming to Lu Qiaoge to ask for an explanation.
"I...I...I saved all this myself, so why not?"
Lu Qiaoge smiled, but walked to the phone and called the security department: "...Well, this is Lu Qiaoge. Qu Caifeng is at the Xiangyang Sub-district Office and is asking me for an explanation. She is mainly dissatisfied with the punishment of the Tan family, especially Tan Ying.
If you are not satisfied, you should go to the relevant department instead of coming to the street office to find me, right?
Of course, it’s okay to come to me, since I’m involved.
In this case, I would like to raise my doubts, that is, whether there is any problem with the origin of Qu Caifeng's so-called 300 yuan betrothal gift.
Someone come and take her to the security department. I suspect the 300 yuan she had was activity funds given by the local spies, otherwise she wouldn't have come to trouble me..."
Qu Caifeng's face changed drastically, and she pointed at Qiao Ge with trembling fingers: "You...you are slandering me, you...you are hurting me, you..."
Lu Qiaoge seemed puzzled: "I am just raising my doubts, just like you suspect that I am colluding with the Tan family to harm you.
And please note, we are picking you up, not taking you away.
Why don't you just go to the Security Department and explain the source of the money? Since you're not satisfied with the punishment against the Tan family, you can ask the Security Department to help you appeal again. I'm helping you, so why are you so anxious?
Everyone looked at each other.
Yes, Qu Caifeng, why are you in such a hurry?
Could it be that these three hundred yuan were really extorted?
Ouch, that's against the law.
Qu Caifeng suddenly felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.
Security Department...
No, don’t be afraid. Just insist that you saved it yourself.
But she still wanted to leave.
But if I run away now, will people think I am guilty?
When Qu Caifeng was in a dilemma, Deputy Director Huang, who had been standing at the door, said, "Qu Caifeng, go to my office and wait. Don't worry, what's true won't be false, and what's false won't be true. No one can wrongly accuse you of something you didn't do."
That’s right, the real cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be real!
Qu Caifeng thought she could hold on, but the security department also had their own methods.
If you have really worked hard to save up 300 yuan, and someone slanders you, saying that the money came from an unknown source, you will not feel guilty but aggrieved and angry.
Not to mention that the security department can not only interrogate but also identify fingerprints.
The three hundred yuan was saved by Cheng Wen's mother. Although there were many fingerprints on the money, it was new and the fingerprints were not complicated, so the old lady's fingerprints were still very clear.
If you really want to check, you can still find it.
Also, because some of the money was given by Cheng Wen or Lin Xiaomin, their fingerprints are also on it.
Finally, the so-called agreement was brought out by Qu Caifeng.
Aunt Cheng was criticized and educated, but Qu Caifeng was suspected of extortion and forced Aunt Cheng to jump into the river. There were many considerations, especially now that Lin Xiaomin is a famous painter and has published picture books. Her picture books are on the shelves of Xinhua Bookstore in Jiangcheng.
As a military factory, it is also an honorable thing.
So the punishment was not made public, and many people didn’t know about it, but Lu Qiaoge knew about it.
The final result was that Qu Caifeng not only lost her job but was also sent to a farm to work for three years as punishment.
