Chapter 83 Still Not Honest
"Is Sister Miao home? I'm Boss Ye."
"Hey! Brother Ye is here." Aunt Miao was tidying up the small vegetable garden at home. When she heard someone was coming to visit, she put down the vegetable bowl and came out to entertain the guest.
"Auntie Miao, is your bicycle free today? I want to go to the town." Zhao Dajun was anxious to check on Zhang Dabao's injuries. He didn't exchange pleasantries with Auntie Miao and directly stated his purpose.
"When I have time, I'll go get you out. Oh, by the way, your brother-in-law came to see you yesterday. He went to the Revolutionary Committee when you were not home. Did you see him?"
"What? He really went to the Revolutionary Committee? What are these two sisters thinking?"
Ye Dajun didn't expect Zhao Jinguo to actually go to the Revolutionary Committee. Why were these two siblings so intent on getting into the place? Is that a good place?
Now that we have news about Zhao Jinguo, there is no need to worry. There is no point in being anxious.
After borrowing a bicycle, Ye Dajun hurried to the town police station to seek public help. He had to ride fast, otherwise what would happen if Zhang Dabao's injury healed?
Aunt Zhang's family
"It hurts! Mom, please be gentle."
"It hurts! Hurry up and keep walking. It's just a goose that bit you. You've been raising it for half a month and you still can't walk properly. Are you going to piss off your mother to death?"
Zhang Dabao had a sad face as his mother chased him around the yard holding a branch. His calf, which had not yet fully recovered, was throbbing with pain.
Seeing that he was slacking off, a branch cut through the air and hit Zhang Dabao's shoulder with a "swish".
Aunt Zhang was so angry that her teeth itched. She gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Ling has identified you. The Ye family has even reported it to the police station. Fortunately, the Cao family denied it, and none of those kids dared to testify. But if your leg doesn't get better, someone will catch you sooner or later!"
"Why stop?! I told you to stop! Keep running!"
The mother and son were running when Ye Dajun and the police came
Aunt Zhang quickly put down the branch in her hand, her mind was in a mess, and her ears were ringing like thunder.
It’s over! It’s over! It’s exposed!
"Comrade, what are you doing?"
"I need your cooperation. Would you mind taking a look at the child's legs?" the police officer politely explained to Aunt Zhang.
But Aunt Zhang just felt cold all over, her body stiff, and she couldn't control her mouth. She stammered, "Legs, legs, what's so good about legs? Why don't we go inside and sit down first?"
The police officer seemed not to hear her words and asked politely, "Would you please cooperate with us? Just take a look."
No matter how aggressive Aunt Zhang usually is, she is still a person who has never seen the world. Moreover, she has something to hide, so the police officer's two casual words broke through her psychological defenses.
Turning her head to look at her son who was barely standing upright, she knew that he couldn't escape today, but she couldn't let her Dabao suffer the consequences, and the Cao family wouldn't be able to escape either.
She dug her fingers into her palms, closed her eyes, and made up her mind. She decided to throw the can down the drain and said quickly, "Confess! We all confess, comrade! It was my Dabao and Cao Tiansheng from the Cao family who did it!"
After saying this in one breath, Aunt Zhang felt that she had finally calmed down. She hadn't been able to eat or sleep these days, and was always awakened by nightmares at midnight. Now she felt really relieved after confessing, it was true that those who resisted would be punished severely, while those who confessed would be punished leniently.
After confessing everything in one breath, Aunt Zhang felt that all her strength was used up. She slid down on the mat in the yard and called Zhang Dabao, who was standing aside, to come and sit down.
"Don't stand there, Dabao. Come and sit down. Tell this uncle what happened that day."
Coming out of Aunt Zhang's house, Ye Dajun gratefully held the police officer's hand and refused to let go for a long time.
"Comrade, thank you. Otherwise, we ordinary people would have nowhere to seek justice. I, I bow to you."
Ye Dajun was about to bow to express his gratitude when the police officer quickly reached out to hold him back. "Don't be like this, fellow villager. Serving the people is what we should do. Don't worry about the Cao family. We will handle it. We will make sure they apologize to your family and compensate for the medical expenses. Just go home and wait for the news."
"Oh, okay, our new society is really great. Thank you for your help."
On the way home, Ye Dajun was so excited that he could not control himself. He pedaled his bicycle very fast. It took him half an hour to ride from the town to Xiahe Village, which was a one-hour journey.
After returning the bicycle to Aunt Miao's house, he always felt that he had forgotten something. After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go home first.
Ye Dajun returned home in high spirits, wanting to share this great news. As soon as he stepped into the yard and saw Zhao Zilong sunbathing his ankles under the eaves, he remembered what he had forgotten.
He forgot about the Zhao siblings.
Qing County Revolutionary Committee Office
"Puff!" Director Jia spat out a mouthful of tea water
"What? You said the Ye family still dares to make trouble? Are they all stupid?"
Aunt Cao came to her cousin, Director Jia, in a state of panic. The police came to their house this afternoon, saying there was irrefutable evidence of Ye Ling's murder. They said their family must apologize to the Ye family and pay for her medical expenses. "Goddamn it, the Zhang family actually bit her son out! What a bunch of rubbish!"
"That family is so stubborn. Cousin, what should we do now? If we have to compensate the Ye family, how much money will it cost? It's really a sin."
Director Jia didn't expect that now that the Zhao siblings had been detained by him, the Ye family was still not behaving.
Did they calculate that he wouldn't dare touch the brother and sister?
He really couldn't do anything other than refuse to release a brother and sister who were poor peasants for eight generations. Otherwise, if the news of their oppression of poor peasants got out, he would be the one to be criticized.
Humph, if he can’t control this pair of siblings, can he control the capitalists?
"Don't worry, cousin. I still have a way to make them bow their heads. Isn't this little girl's mother a young lady? Now she's divorced from the poor peasant family of the Ye family. Let's go find her!"
