Chapter 187 Chapter 186: It's over, it's over
Wang Zhen was dumbfounded. "These swindlers are so bold! They dare to use the name of the government to deceive people. Alas! Once people become greedy, they will do stupid things driven by greed."
"Yeah, no matter how my grandfather persuaded them, they wouldn't listen. Plus, my cousin and his wife brought back a radio awarded by the government yesterday, so more people went to his house to pay for the quota."
The old man looked at Doctor Wang in confusion, "Doctor Wang, you are very knowledgeable. Do you think I am doing the right thing?"
Doctor Wang consoled them, "Old man, you are right to do this. If you don't pull them out of the scam as soon as possible, they will only get deeper and deeper into it, and it will become uncontrollable in the end.
He paused and continued, "The most important thing now is to go back and ask them to go to the police station and explain the matter clearly!"
"Thank you, thank you! We'll go back now." The old man said as he stood up and walked out.
After thanking him, Zhou Huaishan went out and asked the old man to sit on the chicken bus. He pushed him to the bridgehead, looked around and saw no cars, so he had to hire a tractor to take them to the bridgehead outside the village.
When passing by the brigade on the way into the village, the old man saw the police station's motorcycle parked outside the brigade headquarters. He hurriedly asked Zhou Huaishan to run home and inform the eldest wife.
Zhou Huaishan hurried to the big house and saw more than a dozen people sitting in the yard listening to the radio, and there were people in the main room paying for places.
Aunt Zhou looked at him proudly, "Third brother, why are you in such a hurry? Your mother has figured it out and asked you to come and buy a place?"
Zhou Huaishan waved his hands, bent his body and propped up his legs to take a few deep breaths. After he recovered, he said, "Auntie, please don't sell the quota anymore. Whoever bought it should return it to them immediately..."
The person who was handing over the money quickly took back the money he had handed over and asked, "What happened to Zhou Laosan? What happened?"
Zhou Huaishan: "Just don't buy it, it's a liar!"
The person who bought it immediately stood up and asked, "Zhou Laosan, what do you mean?"
"Third brother!" Zhou Huaixing walked a few steps to the door of the main hall and shouted at him, "You've eaten too much. If you want to go crazy, go somewhere else!"
"That's right, you're jealous of my family and you come here to make trouble. How can you be jealous of this?" Chen Limei sneered, "You don't have to worry about having a bad life in the future. Your Qiuyue has already bought a quota for 200 yuan!"
"Greedy woman!" Zhou Huaishan was furious after hearing this, pointing at Zhou Huaixing and his wife, "Your kindness is taken for granted. I'm telling you, Grandpa went to Ning'an today and asked at the police station.
The government did not send anyone to raise money, nor did it ask people to pay for subsidy quotas. Now the people from the Baima Town Police Station have arrived at the brigade headquarters and will be here soon.
Grandpa called me to tell you, quickly pack up the things the liar gave you and explain the matter to the police station! Otherwise, you will be put in jail!" Then he turned and left.
"Oh my god! My money!" Aunt Zhou was so scared that she quickly grabbed Zhou Huaishan and said, "Old Third, are you serious? Are you really a liar?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Zhou Huaishan pried open her hands that were grabbing his clothes, "I'll go back and call Qiuyue to come and get the money back from you." After saying that, he ran away.
Zhou Huaixing and Chen Limei looked at each other, unwilling to believe that what Zhou Huaishan said was true, "I don't believe it, the second branch is just jealous of us..."
One person reacted, "Zhou Laosan said it was a liar, give us our money back, we won't buy it!"
Zhou Huaixing explained to him anxiously: "Impossible, we have a letter of authorization. I'll show it to you. It's stamped with a big seal!"
"Zhou Huaixing, give me back my money!" The people who bought the tickets stopped the two of them and said, "Give me back my money. I won't buy it anymore."
"That's right, give the money back quickly!" said one of them and tried to grab Chen Limei's bag.
Chen Limei hurriedly grabbed the bag and said, "They are just jealous of us. You won't be able to buy it after you take it back."
"I don't care. Most of this money I borrowed from my parents. Pay me back quickly."
“Pay back the money!”
"Give me back the money!" More than a dozen people who were originally trying to curry favor and beg for places grabbed the bag with their claws and teeth.
Aunt Zhou saw that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Let go, I'll return the money to you and take back the ticket."
One of them had already grabbed a handful of money from his bag, "My money..."
"It's mine~" The people in the main room were in a mess.
"Stop it~"
At this time, the old man and Captain Zhou walked into the yard with three people from the police station, and the people in the main room suddenly became quiet.
"Captain Zhou, Zhou Huaixing and his wife are cheating people out of money!"
"Captain Zhou, Zhou Huaixing lied to us and said..."
Captain Zhou was also having a headache. Secretary Xu went to the town to apply for a land ownership certificate and asked about raising money. But before he came back, the police station came:
"Pack up all the receipts. Once the police station has investigated the matter thoroughly, we will return the money to you."
Several people grabbed the bag and refused to let go. "Our money is in the bag. I want it back immediately!"
The woman beat her chest and cried, "My money was borrowed. If you don't pay me back, I won't be able to live."
Captain Zhou saw this and whispered to the police station: "Comrade Lin, can you ask them to return the money? Otherwise, something bad will happen."
The three of them looked at each other, and Comrade Lin nodded, "Okay, return the money to these people first."
Captain Zhou said to those who had bought the quota: "Bring your list, one by one."
"Captain Zhou, this is mine!"
"mine."
Captain Zhou looked at the bills in his hand. The shortest bill was one hundred, and the most was two or three hundred. He said unhappily, "When the brigade asked us to pay, everyone cried poor, but now they can pay."
Aunt Zhou hurriedly stepped forward, took the bag from Chen Limei, handed it to him, and said with a sad face: "Captain Zhou, my Huaixing family has issued receipts for the money paid by each family. They didn't take a penny. My family also bought 500 yuan!"
Captain Zhou looked at Comrade Lin and asked, "Does their family want to withdraw?"
Comrade Lin looked at Aunt Zhou and said, "Your family's money will not be paid until the matter is thoroughly investigated and the money of those who bought the quota is fully refunded. Only then can it be your turn."
Zhou Huaixing and Chen Limei sat on the ground in a daze, shouting in their hearts: "It's over, it's over, it's all over..."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground, "My money... that's my coffin money..."
The old man yelled at her, "What's the point of crying now? Hurry up and collect the money from the sale and give it to the police to return it to the owner."
Aunt Zhou raised her head with tears on her face, "Old man, I don't have any money. They said it was public funds and wouldn't let us touch it!"
The old man glared at her, then turned to look at Zhou Huaixing and his wife, "Huaixing, go and take all the things the liar gave you to the comrades at the police station and explain the whole matter clearly!"
Zhou Huaixing sat on the ground with his head down and did not answer.
Comrade Lin stepped forward and shouted, "Zhou Huaixing, if you don't want to sit in the detention room, go get it and explain everything clearly!"
Zhou Huaixing was awakened by the drink and looked up at Comrade Lin, "Comrade Public Security, I really have the letter of appointment, and the newspaper..." Then he got up and walked towards the room.
