Qin Huairu not only looked down on him at this moment, but even wanted to avoid him.
It was agreed before the New Year that since the restaurant was going out of business, the money would be given to He Yuzhu after the transfer, so that he could raise enough money from Yi Ping'an.
As it turned out, the money was indeed transferred out, and nine hundred yuan was recovered. Qin Huairu pocketed it all without saying a word.
In her own words to He Yuzhu, she said that this money was to be saved for her son Banggeng to get married.
You're a grown man who can cook, so you can just go and earn more money.
So, after running the restaurant for three months, she barely spent any money and ended up losing 900 yuan. She had swindled her daughter Xiao Dang, He Yuzhu's apprentice Xiao Ma, and the two people who came with He Yuzhu.
As for He Yuzhu being framed, he deserved it.
but……
The morning after He Yuzhu got drunk, several police officers found Qin Huairu's family home.
"Are you Qin Huairu, Jia Geng's mother?"
"Yes...I am. Who are you?"
"We are from the Jingshan Branch of the Public Security Bureau. This is my work ID. Can you tell if this is Jia Geng?"
As he spoke, the police officer took a photo from the person next to him and handed it over.
Qin Huai grabbed the photo as if it were a snatch.
The photo clearly shows her son, Jia Geng, who looks almost exactly the same as when he ran away from home three years ago.
No, there have been some changes. The person in the photo is bald, with a defiant look on their face.
"Officer...Officer...Officer, my son...what...what happened to him?"
If Xiao Dang hadn't come out and caught her, Qin Huairu might have already sat on the ground.
“These two officers are from the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau. Your son, Jia Geng, committed some offenses over there and has already been arrested,” the police officer from the Jingshan branch said, stepping aside and pointing to the two men standing behind him.
"No...that's impossible. My son is such a well-behaved child. How could he break the law? He's still a child."
Qin Huai said loudly in disbelief.
The four police officers at the door rolled their eyes in unison. "A thirty-year-old kid, huh?"
The Rujia Hotel in Qinhuai is on the first floor, and the commotion there has already attracted quite a few people.
Seeing this, Xiao Dang quickly said, "Mom, let's let the police officers come in first, okay?"
"Ah, right, right, right." Only after being reminded by her daughter did she realize that she hadn't let the police officers in yet.
"Comrades, please come in first. Are you sure you're not mistaken? My son is a really good boy. He's timid and would never do anything bad."
"Madam, your son was caught in the act of fighting, and we caught him red-handed. The person he beat up was seriously injured..."
Before the police officer from Yangcheng Public Security Bureau could finish speaking, Qin Huairu collapsed to the ground.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong?" Xiao Dang had just called out twice when Dong's voice came from the bedroom again.
"Grandma, Grandma."
Upon seeing this, the two officers from the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau quickly helped Xiao Dang support Qin Huairu, while the two from Jingshan followed her into the bedroom.
Aunt Jia had already fallen off the bed and was not moving.
The room erupted in chaos.
The police officers helped take Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law to the nearby factory hospital.
At this moment, the comrades from the factory's security department also arrived.
"Hello Captain Zhang, I'm Feng, the director of the steel plant's security department. What's going on?"
"Hello Director Feng, Qin Huairu's son, Jia Geng, was arrested in Guangzhou for fighting. The person he beat up was seriously injured. These two are police officers from Guangzhou. They came to find out about Jia Geng's situation and to inform his family that Jia Geng has been prosecuted."
"A fight? And serious injuries?" Director Feng's eyes widened. He had only one thought in his mind: this kid is finished this time.
"Then...how long will he be sentenced to?"
"It's hard to say. Director Feng, you also work in security, so you should know a thing or two. I'd estimate at least fifteen years."
Okay, fifteen years is considered conservative, so not being conservative means getting shot at, right?
"What's going on in that ward?" Director Feng pointed to the ward behind him.
"When we went over to give her the notification, she fainted immediately upon hearing it, and an old lady in the room also fainted," Captain Zhang said, smacking his lips.
"Captain Zhang, please tell me what to do next. Then you can go about your business. I'll leave two people here."
"Here's the thing, his son's trial is at the end of this month, March 31st. Do you think Qin Huairu would like to go? If she does, she needs to arrive before the 31st. This is the address and office phone number of the police officer in Yangcheng. She can contact him here if she wants to go."
Director Feng took the note, glanced at it, and then put it in his pocket. He asked with some surprise, "Comrade Zhang, when did this happen? Why is there a trial so soon?"
"It's not quick. Jia Geng's case started last November. He had been stubbornly resisting and refusing to cooperate until we presented him with all the evidence and witness testimonies, at which point he finally calmed down," said a police officer from Guangzhou.
It's been four or five months already, which isn't exactly fast. Some people have been doing it much faster. In four or five months, the grass on their graves would probably be a foot tall.
After seeing off the four police officers, Director Feng peeked through the glass door of the ward and saw Qin Huairu receiving an IV drip in bed, still unconscious.
As for her mother-in-law, she seemed to still be in the emergency room. Director Feng didn't care at all and left the factory hospital building with his hands behind his back.
He wouldn't have shown up if he hadn't heard that the captain of the Jingshan Branch Criminal Police Team was coming along.
Two hours later, Qin Huairu woke up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, her daughter Xiaodang cried and told her that her grandmother was gone.
slkslk.
She lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling of the ward, not a single tear falling from her eyes.
Qin Huai didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment. Her mother-in-law's death didn't mean much to her; on the contrary, she felt a sense of relief.
But the thought of her beloved son caused her heart to ache as if it were being torn apart.
Where are the police officers?
"They've already left, but they left a message saying that my brother's case will have its final hearing at the end of this month. If you want to go, here's the address and phone number. You can contact him when you get there."
Where is your grandma?
"It has already been sent to the morgue."
"Sigh~" Qin Huai sighed softly, "Help me up, we still need to figure out how to send the news of the death back home."
"Mom, how about I go find Uncle Zhu?"
"Alright, let him come over and help us out."
"Should we...should we tell...my sister?"
"You are not allowed to go to her," Qin Huairu said sternly.
