Seeing this, Zhou Chunping gritted his teeth, turned around, and slapped Zhou Jiaxing in the face with a loud slap. Zhou Chunping hit him hard enough that half of Zhou Jiaxing's face immediately swelled up.
Zhou Chunping knew the middle-aged man was deliberately picking a fight, but he had no choice. If he didn't make the middle-aged man happy, his family might be in trouble soon. A few days ago, some of the money given by the benefactor was divided among Zhou Zhigang and his brother, but Wu Jinfeng took away most of it.
Wu Jinfeng was no fool. After taking the money, she immediately followed Zhou Zhimei to the county town. Zhou Chunping could foresee that by the time Wu Jinfeng returned home, there would be no money left. Even if there was any left, it would be in Wu Jinfeng's pocket and she would be unable to take it out.
"Get paid for the work, return it if it's not done." This was what the benefactor had said that day. Zhou Chunping had thought dealing with Zhou Zhixin would be easy, so to get Zhou Zhigang and Zhang Zhiqiang to contribute, he'd split the money up in advance, with Zhang Zhiqiang and Zhou Zhigang each taking 300 yuan. If the middle-aged man were to confront Zhou Chunping and demand the money back, he wouldn't be able to do it.
"Grandpa." Zhou Jiaxing covered his face, which had gone numb and was now burning, with his hand, stunned. Did he do something wrong? He had done nothing but defend Grandpa's face in front of others, and this was why he deserved a beating?
Zhou Chunping's expression changed several times before he finally regained his composure. Jiaxing was his grandson, so taking a slap for his grandfather wasn't a big deal, right?
Seeing Zhou Chunping hit Zhou Jiaxing, the middle-aged man's expression improved a little. He stopped walking out, turned back and ordered: "Zhou Chunping, I'll give you another chance. Get that matter done before the New Year. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
"Yes, yes." Zhou Chunping nodded and bowed. When the middle-aged man's back was out of sight, Zhou Chunping slowly straightened up.
"Jiaxing..." Zhou Chunping turned around and wanted to talk to his eldest grandson, but Zhou Jiaxing had disappeared.
This kid, is he still angry? Zhou Chunping shook his head and didn't care. When Zhou Zhigang gets home, let him take care of it! He's old, and just now he was scared by the middle-aged man. He felt exhausted all over, so he decided to go to sleep first.
Zhou Jiaxing lay on his wooden bed, tears streaming down his face. The burning pain was a constant reminder of what had just happened.
Grandpa always said that he loved his eldest grandson the most, but it seemed that he was just saying it, otherwise he wouldn't have hit himself so hard just now.
A sneer appeared on Zhou Jiaxing's face.
When Zhou Jiaxing was at home, he felt that his grandfather had a salary and was relatively fair in his work, so he always respected Zhou Chunping.
Zhou Jiaxing has been hanging around in the town for more than six months and has become much bolder than before, otherwise he would not have dared to jump out after the middle-aged man beat Zhou Chunping.
But the result disappointed Zhou Jiaxing. Zhou Chunping not only did not support him in driving the middle-aged man away, but also listened to the man's words and slapped himself. Haha... His grandfather was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
This slap chilled Zhou Jiaxing's heart.
Forget it, forget it. He is tired of staying in this house anyway. He might as well follow Brother Ma and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. In any case, it is better than staying in this broken house.
Zhou Jiaxing made up his mind, jumped out of bed, and left the Zhou family without looking back.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng walked around the market again, and only returned to their uncle's house after making sure that no one was following them.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, Zhou Yuanyuan heard a burst of crying and shouting coming from her uncle's house. The voice was sharp and a little sad. It was the voice of her aunt Xu Liqin.
What happened? Zhao Guohui and Xu Liqin should be working at the supply and marketing cooperative at this time, so why are they at home?
Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. She pulled Zhou Jiasheng's hand with a little strength, and her two short legs started running quickly.
When the two children arrived at Zhao Guohui's door, they saw several uniformed police officers standing on either side of him. Zhao Guohui leaned over and was giving Xu Liqin some instructions, while Xu Liqin sobbed and nodded.
"Uncle." Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng were shocked and rushed over immediately.
Did the past life happen again? Did my uncle still not escape the fate of being framed? Zhou Yuanyuan's face turned pale.
"Xiaojiu, Jiasheng, uncle is fine. You have to be good and listen to your mother, ah~!" Zhao Guohui saw the frightened Zhou Yuanyuan brother and sister, and hurriedly bent down to touch the two children's heads.
To be honest, Zhao Guohui was a little surprised that the police came to his house today.
Manager Wang and Zhao Guohui had said that they would not report the matter of the supplies to their superiors until the end of the month. Unexpectedly, the police came to their door just two days later.
"Uncle, why are you arresting my uncle? My uncle is a good man." Zhou Yuanyuan raised her little face and asked the baby-faced policeman standing on the left of Zhao Guohui.
The baby-faced policeman was an old acquaintance of Zhou Yuanyuan's. He was the same Xiao Zhang who had arrested Zhao Yunxiang in Zhoujia Village a few days ago. At that time, Xiao Zhang had been pushed by Wu Jinfeng, scraping his entire palm.
At this moment, Xiao Zhang, facing Zhou Yuanyuan's clear eyes, felt his face burning. He didn't know what "monkey shit" was, but they met in such a situation in just a few days.
When Zhao Yunxiang was caught, she stared at Xiao Zhang with her big, wet eyes, which made him feel very sorry. Today, he came here again to catch the little girl's uncle. In the little girl's mind, she has become a "bad guy", right?
To be honest, Xiao Zhang didn't know what crime Zhao Guohui had committed. This morning, the police station chief received a call from the Yuyuan County Public Security Bureau, saying that Zhao Guohui, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, had made a serious mistake in his work and asked the Sanhe Town Police Station to quickly dispatch officers to apprehend Zhao Guohui.
In Xiao Zhang's young mind, the most despicable thing is when a leader makes mistakes. A single bad soldier brings a whole group of bad generals. If a leader fails to do his job well, it harms not only the leader but also the entire unit where he works.
Another police officer, Lao Jiang, glanced at Xiao Zhang and thought the young man's attitude was a little strange.
When Xiao Zhang first went out on duty, he heard that he was going to arrest someone. He looked indignant and kept nagging along the way, saying that he could not let a bad guy go.
After arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lao Jiang made some concessions and let Zhao Guohui go home to pack up some things before leaving with them. However, Xiao Zhang complained about him a few times, saying that Lao Jiang was too soft-hearted. How could he be so soft-hearted towards Zhao Guohui who had made a mistake?
Outside, Lao Jiang didn't know what to explain to Xiao Zhang. He just smiled and ignored Xiao Zhang's muttering.
Lao Jiang and Zhao Guohui usually have a good relationship, and Lao Jiang trusts Zhao Guohui's character. When the higher-ups called and asked them to arrest Zhao Guohui, saying that Zhao Guohui had made serious mistakes, Lao Jiang really didn't believe it.
