Adhering to the principle of a good man not to suffer a loss in front of him, Zhu Niupu immediately admitted his mistake: "Brother, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. How about letting me go this time?"
Although Zhu Niupabu is not very educated and is a bit of a rough guy, he also knows that a good man should not suffer a loss in front of him.
What the young man just said makes a lot of sense. Who will the police believe?
There are three people here, no matter whether they are real or fake, the most important thing is that they are rich.
Didn’t you see that the money used to frame him was a bundle of unopened fifty-yuan bills, five thousand yuan!
He had never seen what a bundle of 5,000 yuan looked like in his entire life.
His elder brother didn't even dare to say that he could come up with 5,000 yuan, but this young man took it out and framed him as if it were a game.
If he used the five thousand yuan to smooth things over and build connections in prison, he believed he would definitely die in there.
"Let you go? You've already provoked me three times in this day... No, including this time, it's four times, right? You extorted ten yuan from me at the supply and marketing cooperative. This was the first time, and I ignored you. You came here with your brother to bully others. This is the second time, right? I also ignored you. When Brother Zhan and I passed by your brother's house, you scolded us. This is the third time, right? I still ignored you. Now this is the fourth time. You said that you provoked me four times before dawn in this day and night. This has happened again and again. Now you have done it not only once and twice, but also three times and four times. If I don't take it seriously, you will think I am dead. Do you think I can let you go?"
"Brother, I promise I will never cause you any trouble again."
"real?"
"real!"
"I'm a very democratic person with a kind heart. Since you've recognized the situation, I'll give you a chance to start a new life. I can let you go, but you have to honestly explain how you broke Brother Zhan's arm. Is that okay? Third Brother! Bring me a pen and paper and write down what he said."
Zhan Honggui found his daughter's homework book and pencil and gave them to Han Guangjia.
"Tell me, just tell me why you hired someone to break Zhan Honggui's arm, and I'll let you go as if nothing happened tonight."
The pig bladder remained silent.
"Why don't you tell me? If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I won't force you. If you think brotherhood is important, you don't have to tell me, Third Brother! Tie him up and take him to the police station at daybreak. Let's pack up and go to bed. Damn, this broken glass will make you cold tonight."
Zhan Honggui turned around and went out to find a rope, and Han Guangjia took it and was about to tie up the pig's bladder.
"If I tell you, what happened tonight will be over?" Seeing that the rope was about to be tied around his body, Pig Urinary Bubble could no longer hesitate.
"Of course! I always keep my word. You said that what happened tonight is over, and I can pretend it never happened."
"I'll tell you what I'll tell you."
"Brother Zhan! Bring him a bowl of water, lest he lose his voice when he gets to the crucial part later."
Zhan Honggui brought a bowl of water. Zhu Niupao was really thirsty. He drank the whole bowl of water in one gulp and then started telling stories.
Zhu Niupao told the story of how he tried to tease An Lizhi when Zhan Honggui was not at home, but was chased out of the gate by An Lizhi with a shovel; how Zhan Honggui came back to settle the score with him and beat him up, and how he held a grudge and took revenge on Zhan Honggui from the ruffians in the commune and nearby villages.
"Tell me who you're looking for."
Pig Bubble hesitated.
"I didn't realize you had some sense of brotherhood, but brotherhood can be deadly. Now that you've said it, just be thorough and don't be so hesitant. I like to get things done quickly."
Zhu Niupa thought about it and decided that since he had already said everything before, there seemed to be no point in not saying anything after that. So he just told them how many people he had found, where they were from, and who was with whom.
After Han Guangjia finished recording, he asked Zhu Niapao to press his fingerprints.
"You pig, let's forget what happened tonight. I won't hold it against you anymore. But we need to settle the matter of you hiring someone to break my brother Zhan's arm. For so many years, because of you hiring someone to break my brother Zhan's arm, his family's life has been so difficult. Don't you think you should pay some compensation?"
The pig's bladder blinked its eyes. Why did it feel like it was cheated?
"How do you want compensation?"
"Of course I have to pay you. You can't afford to pay more than that, even if you look like a wretch. I'm a kind and righteous person, so 500 yuan isn't too much, right?"
Pig bladder weakly: "I have no money!"
"Your eldest brother has one. He must have had the idea to smash the glass tonight. It's only natural for him to take the money for you. Remember, I want to see the 500 yuan before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. If I don't see the money, I will send you to jail for a few years just based on this piece of paper. And remember this! Zhan Honggui is my eldest brother, and his two children are my godson and goddaughter. If you cause trouble again in the future, you will die without knowing how you died. Now get out of here!"
The pig bladder got up and slowly retreated.
"Is that all?" Zhan Honggui went out and closed the gate, still asking nervously.
Wan Feng looked at the list on the paper. There were seven people on the list who participated in breaking Zhan Honggui's arm.
It seems that there is no point in punishing these seven people, but there should be no problem in asking them to contribute the money to open a store.
Thinking of this, Wan Feng laughed.
"Brother Zhan, look at which village these people are from. Let's go tomorrow... oh no, tomorrow's not possible. We have a lot of things to do tomorrow. Let's go door to door the day after tomorrow and collect money. If we collect 500 yuan from each house, that'll cover the cost of opening the shop. Counting the pig bladder, eight people can collect 4,000 yuan. That's almost enough to buy a house and open a shop, Brother Zhan."
Han Guangjia was speechless. So this guy had come up with this idea. I was wondering how he could let the pig bladder go so easily.
"Now the money for opening a shop and buying a house is basically settled. Let's go to Chengshan Commune tomorrow afternoon to see if there are any good sites."
Zhan Honggui was bewildered: "Brother, are you really going to move our family to the commune?"
"Of course, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. What future do you have staying here? Why not go to a better place?"
"Going to the commune to change your household registration seems very troublesome."
"What's the trouble with relocating within a commune? Leave it to me and I'll help you. What you need to do now is find something to block up the window, otherwise you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Zhan Honggui immediately found a nail and a piece of plastic and nailed the broken glass window shut.
Although plastic windows were not as useful as glass, fortunately the temperature outside was not too low tonight, so Wan Feng and Han Guangjia managed to survive until dawn.
