The next day, the third brother went to find Tian Xun, and Tian Xun happened to be looking for him too.
"Brother, the youngest son of the Qi family, Qi Qiancheng, is back."
"Don't worry, it's okay. Your identities are kept confidential, and they don't know this has anything to do with you." This case involves a lot of people, and their affairs are only known to those above them.
The third brother was a little relieved. "By the way, we helped you solve such a big case, but you didn't give us any reward at all? If you are so stingy, who will do good deeds next time?"
The third brother looked at Tian Xun sideways, this guy really got some benefits, he was even made a team leader!
Even though he wasn't his brother-in-law, he was still unhappy because of his box of treasures! Thinking about it now still makes me tremble with pain.
"That's what I want to talk to you about. The bureau has given you an internal commendation. To protect you, it won't be made public. You've been awarded 200 yuan in cash, as well as an honorary award." Tian Xun said this with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, showing that he was very satisfied with the award.
Li Laosan... "Our whole family worked so hard and only gave you two hundred yuan? That box is worth more than two hundred yuan, not to mention the things inside the box. We also helped you solve such a big case. Aren't you a little disappointed?" Li Laosan's eyes widened. He was wondering whether the house of the Yi family could be awarded to them?
That way he could barely feel balanced in his heart, but now he realizes that he can't work with this group of people. They will kill the donkey after it has done its job.
"This is an honor. It can't always be about money. You are helping our public security system solve a major case. We would like to express our gratitude on behalf of the general public!" Tian Xun said seriously and stood up to salute the third brother.
"I don't need this empty thanks. Give me something practical." The third brother was even more empty-headed than him. He didn't buy it at all.
Tian Xun also felt that it was not much. This was the amount of reward from the higher-ups. Compared with other cases, this reward was already a lot. He did not tell Li Laosan about some of the honors, fearing that he would be too proud and show off everywhere, causing trouble for himself.
"One hundred is a lot, half a year's salary for an average person. Your family is not doing good deeds for money. You should be more open-minded and broad-minded."
"You gave your brain a break, and donated it to charity? Even if you had a cerebral thrombosis for ten years, you couldn't say that. You are so broad-minded, you don't want a promotion, you are doing this purely for love, don't ask for any rewards, and I believed your lies! You get promoted to become officials and change your wives, our family has done so much for you, I even kept the evidence for you, and you just gave us 200 yuan and sent us away, you kept a bag of money, and you gave us nothing, and I should be grateful!"
Li Laosan was so angry that his head was dizzy. He didn't care about his elder brother-in-law anymore. He had suffered a great loss, so who else could he expect him to give face to?
Tian Xun's face turned red. He had gained some real benefits. "My promotion was not entirely due to this incident. I have been in the bureau for two years..."
"Shut up, why didn't you get promoted earlier? You pick up the bowl to eat, and you curse your mother when you put it down. You don't even admit it when you get the benefits. I want to know why your family..." The third brother wanted to ask why he was jumping so happily, but then he remembered that it was his father-in-law, so he gave up.
Tian Xun stared at Li Laosan, and his words became more and more outrageous. "Isn't it just a reward? Why are you so fussy? Honor is more important! When the leaders above personally commend you in the future, your family will be so proud! When your children go to school in the future..."
Li Laosan was so angry that he turned the tables. "Head, you are talking to me about your hips. You are asking for praise. How much effort has our family put in? You are giving us the benefits. You are just patting us like a python lying on the grass. Don't you feel bad when you lie down and talk? If I had known this, I would have thrown those lousy accounts at your door. I don't care if you have done anything meritorious or not. Reputation is something outside of the body, you can have it or not, but money is something necessary, you have to have it!"
Li Laosan didn't care about the matter. It made him unhappy and he got sick. The sky didn't fall, but his family suffered a great loss.
Tian Xun couldn't win the argument with Li Laosan. His face turned red and he gasped in anger, "I won't talk to you. I'll go talk to the uncle and aunt!"
"You can't complain to my ancestors. Our family is petty and narrow-minded! Honor is worth a bowl of rice! They don't scold you because they are giving face to you, a stinky shoe pad!"
