Chapter 22: Beat up the scumbag
After everyone left, Huo Qingqing said, "Let's go buy some supplements for An An!"
Han Jianwu nodded, "Okay!"
Huo Qingqing took Han Jianwu's hand openly. The man froze at first, and then he held her small hand. Her hands felt soft, small and comfortable in his hands, while his palms were covered with chrome calluses.
Huo Qingqing bought Lin Anan a pack of milk powder, a pack of malted milk, a pack of biscuits and two handfuls of noodles. "Go back and ask my second sister-in-law to buy her some more eggs."
Han Jianwu said, "Okay."
Huo Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Anyway, she almost died because of me this time. These supplements are far from enough."
Han Jianwu changed the subject and asked, "After Lin Zhiqing is discharged from the hospital, will she continue to stay in the Zhiqing compound to recuperate or return to the city with her parents?"
Huo Qingqing said, "She should continue to stay in Hanjiagou. She can go home temporarily, but she will have to come back after she recovers from her sick leave. Besides, the two men have not been sentenced yet. As a victim, An An needs to monitor the progress of the case at any time. The police probably won't let her leave Hanjiagou temporarily."
Han Jianwu nodded and said "oh".
Huo Qingqing bought two packets of milk powder and malted milk for the two children, as well as some fine grains such as instant noodles. Han Jianwu said, "Why don't we give the two kids goat milk? There are several dairy goats in the team now, so we can just give the goat farmer some symbolic money."
Huo Qingqing shook her head. "No, he can eat now. It doesn't cost much to mix it with milk powder and malted milk. If we feed him goat's milk, we have to go to the sheepfold every day to milk him. It will soon become a hot topic in the village. It doesn't matter if he doesn't drink it!"
When the two of them came out of the department store carrying bags, they ran into Zhang Guohua at the door. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a spotless white shirt with his sleeves rolled up and a Butterfly watch on his body, jeans, and leather shoes. He looked like a promising young cadre in a big city.
The men and women with Zhang Guohua were all dressed very stylishly and were obviously educated youth. However, both Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu recognized one of the middle-aged women, Hua Zhen, a cadre of Guanshan Commune. There was also a commune cadre, Yang Linke, who was from Hanjiagou.
"Qingqing?!" When Zhang Guohua saw Huo Qingqing, his voice trembled with excitement and a fawning smile appeared on his face.
Huo Qingqing pursed her lips, glanced at Zhang Guohua and nodded, "Zhang Zhiqing."
Zhang Guohua blocked their way and looked at Han Jianwu again. His contempt for him was written all over his face, but he said politely, "Comrade Han, long time no see."
Han Jianwu nodded calmly and said, "Is there something that Zhang Zhiqing is stopping us for?"
Yang Linke stepped forward and put his hand on Han Jianwu's shoulder, "You kid, have you taken your wife to the city to shop again?" His tone sounded like he deserved a beating, and he kept glancing at Huo Qingqing.
Han Jianwu didn't like Yang Linke. This guy was a classmate of his second brother and he loved to criticize and fight against everyone when he was a cadre in the brigade. However, he still had some ability and managed to climb to the commune.
Han Jianwu said, "The educated youth in our brigade had an accident. She was discharged from the hospital today and my wife and I came to pick her up."
Lin Anan's affair caused a sensation in Guanshan Commune, and Yang Linke, Zhang Guohua and even everyone present knew about it. Yang Linke said "Oh" and asked, "How is the person?"
Han Jianwu said, "The stitches were just removed this morning and I can be discharged from the hospital this afternoon."
Huo Qingqing felt sick when she saw Yang Linke's greasy face and eyes. She also became irritated when she saw Zhang Guohua. She said, "We still have to accompany the patient and help her with the discharge procedures, so we'll leave first."
Zhang Guohua was also involved in this matter. How could he let them go? He looked at Huo Qingqing and said, "I just wanted to ask you two about this matter. Did Gao Yunxia and Han Jianhua's wife really push Lin Anan off the cliff? But why did they do this? What was their motive?"
Huo Qingqing, "If you have any questions, you can ask the public security comrades instead of us."
Zhang Guohua's face changed. He raised his hand to adjust his glasses and said, "I just don't understand why you are so sensitive, Qingqing? Could it be that this matter has something to do with you and Comrade Han?"
Huo Qingqing, "Who do you think you are? Why would I tell you that?"
Zhang Guohua was also angry. "I am nothing, but this shit dragged me into this. I have already been called in for questioning by the police."
Han Jianwu stopped Huo Qingqing, stared at Zhang Guohua, and said, "Zhang Zhiqing, you seem to be mistaken. No matter what the reason is, you shouldn't question us."
Zhang Guohua snorted coldly and said, "Really? But don't forget that Liu Chunyan is your brother's wife, right?"
Han Jianwu, "That's right, but that's not a reason for you to question us. Go ask whoever dragged you into this."
Zhang Guohua sneered again and said, "Then Liu Chunyan was originally your wife, so there is nothing wrong with that, right? Why is she so hostile to Qingqing?"
Several people stood at the entrance of the department store, tense and tense, attracting many onlookers. Zhang Guohua was very proud and looked at Huo Qingqing, "Qingqing, don't be fooled by this country bumpkin again. I'm always here, ah..."
Huo Qingqing punched Zhang Guohua in the face, causing his nose to bleed instantly and his glasses to fall to the ground.
Huo Qingqing cursed loudly: "It's not your turn as a gigolo to interfere in our affairs. If you dare to talk nonsense again next time, do you believe I will send you to the police station?"
Zhang Guohua was also completely enraged. It would be more accurate to say that he wanted to provoke Han Jianwu, the country bumpkin, so that he would take action rather than being enraged by Huo Qingqing.
Zhang Guohua wiped the blood from his nose and shouted, "Huo Qingqing, why did you do this to me? You said you would love me forever. You said that Han Jianwu took advantage of your situation and forced you to marry him and have a child with him. I wanted to help you because you were unwilling to do so. But why are you standing with the person who forced you to deal with me now? Or did he threaten you? Why don't you tell me? So many people will do it for you."
Han Jianwu clenched his fists and looked disfigured. He grabbed Zhang Guohua's chest but was held back by Huo Qingqing. "Han Jianwu, you can't hit him. He deliberately provoked you to hit him. If you hit him, we won't do anything."
Yang Linke stood aside and watched the fun, occasionally saying a few bland "fair" words, but in fact he was adding fuel to the fire and wishing to make the matter a bigger deal.
Soon the police arrived and the crowd was forced to disperse. Both parties were taken to a nearby police station.
Zhang Guohua has a silver tongue, but this is a place where we can just let him talk nonsense. The police are not that easy to fool.
Huo Qingqing explained the whole story to the police in a clear and logical manner. Han Jianwu didn't say much, but every word he said was to the point. In the end, Han Jianwu and Huo Qingqing got away without any harm, and Zhang Guohua was transferred to the place where Gao Yunxia and Liu Chunyan were detained for processing.
