Liu went out for a while and returned in about half an hour.
“I’ve already explained your conditions to them, and they’re all fine. So let’s all sign a letter of understanding, okay?”
"Sure."
Liu arranged for the arrested people to gather together, and everyone looked embarrassed. Their previous arrogance had vanished, and they each pressed their fingerprints on the letter of understanding.
Chen Jinli also delivered the money from the fish trap sales, settling the score immediately.
After counting the money, Ye Cheng stuffed it into his pocket and said to Liu Suo,
"Then, Officer Liu, we'll be going now."
After saying that, he planned to leave with Xiao Hu and the others.
Unexpectedly, Liu suddenly spoke up, "Who said you could leave?"
Ye Cheng turned around and looked at Director Liu in astonishment, "No, we've already taken care of everything."
"The matter has been dealt with, but can't we teach you a lesson for fighting?" Officer Liu said sternly. "You'll all spend the night in the detention room so you can develop some awareness of the rule of law."
"No, Director Liu, didn't we agree on this before?" Ye Cheng looked at Director Liu speechlessly. Damn it, you little bastard.
Liu waved his hand dismissively, watching his men lock them all up with a smug look on his face, before clapping his hands.
"Kid, you think you can mess with me? You're still too green."
If we don't teach them a lesson for fighting like this, who knows what they might escalate to next time.
And then there's Ye Cheng, looking all confident and in control. Damn it, it makes me angry. This is my home turf, let me show you who's the boss.
Even after being locked up, Ye Cheng was still a little dazed. Something wasn't right. How did he end up in this mess?
"Brother, what are you doing? Isn't it normal to be locked up for fighting?" Xiao Hu sat obediently in the detention cell.
"Ah Cheng, just lock him up for a bit, it'll be quick. Sit down for a while." Ye Guowei didn't care at all; when it comes to fighting, locking him up is the right thing to do.
Ye Cheng thought about it and decided to just take a day off.
They got into a fight in the morning, and it was already noon by the time they finished dealing with it. Next door was a group of people from the Chen family.
"Come on, lunch is ready." A policeman pushed a lunchbox in.
"These are for you." The police officer handed the Chen family several disposable lunch boxes, which contained only a little bit of pickled vegetables and some boiled radish and cabbage.
Chen Zhangfu looked at it, his eyes practically turning green with envy. How could anyone eat this?
He glanced at the food cart and immediately became agitated, pointing to the other bowls inside and saying...
"No, there's meat there, why aren't we allowed to eat it?"
In this food cart, besides the food containers, there were several of their own enamel basins, filled with so much meat that the lids couldn't cover it, and the aroma of the meat filled the air.
“Those were sent by the family members. If you want to eat, ask your family members to send them to you. Besides, it’s only one day. Eat less and it will pass quickly. Why make such a fuss?”
As the police officer pushed the food cart over to Ye Cheng and his group, he said with envy, "Well, yours is practically being fed to pigs."
"This is seaweed and pork rib soup, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and stir-fried clams. Your wife brought these over," the police officer said, pointing to Ye Guowei.
"Damn, your sister-in-law is awesome!" Ye Cheng stood up. It was so boring in here, so it was good to have something to eat.
"This is braised pig intestines. It was delivered by a woman surnamed Zhang, who said it was for Ye Cheng." The police officer glanced at Ye Cheng.
"A Zhang? Who is that?" Ye Cheng asked, puzzled.
"She said if you don't know, just say it was given to you by Widow Zhang," the police officer calmly relayed.
Forehead...
Ye Cheng scratched his head, unable to recall what the woman surnamed Zhang had to do with Widow Zhang.
To be honest, this is a police station, and everyone here is from the same village. If this were in the city, it would be absolutely impossible for them to bring food in.
Now look what's happened! While they're enjoying their meal with gusto, the aroma is irresistible, while the Chen brothers are eating pickled vegetables and radishes, feeling utterly miserable.
Damn it, if you have money to eat, then eat! Why do you have to eat next door to us?
At dinner, Jiang Yunxiang specially stewed a pot of pig's trotters, and Widow Zhang also stir-fried a few side dishes. The three of them felt that life couldn't be more enjoyable.
After they finished eating, they didn't even have to wash the dishes; they were simply handed over to the police to be taken away.
This treatment is better than being a god.
Nothing happened that night. Apart from the slightly hard bed, the fact that I was a bit stuffed, and Xiao Hu's snoring was a bit loud, the detention cell was pretty good.
The next morning at 8 o'clock, Officer Liu released them.
Jiang Yunxiang was already waiting at the door, and she felt heartbroken when she saw the three of them come out.
"Are you alright? Are you all okay inside? Did no one hit you?"
Ye Cheng was speechless. "Sister-in-law, what era are we living in? Still thinking about the old society? Go inside and give her a beating first."
"It's alright, let's go back." Ye Guowei patted his wife, comforting her.
“Oh, Widow Zhang was supposed to come too, but she made an appointment today to take Xiao Hu to the hospital,” Jiang Yunxiang suddenly said. “Auntie is a nice person. Yesterday I told her not to cook, but she insisted on bringing the food over.”
Ye Cheng nodded. This widow was still somewhat kind-hearted; he had lent her 30,000 yuan without charging interest.
Chen Jinli also came over to pick up his two sons. The two groups exchanged glances, snorted, and left.
The Chen father and son took the bus back, while Jiang Yunxiang hired a taxi.
"Sister-in-law, that's impressive! You're even chartering a car now!" Ye Cheng gave a thumbs up.
"Why spend so much money?" Ye Guowei said in a low voice.
Jiang Yunxiang rolled her eyes at him. "You guys are going to war. Even if you win, are you going to take the bus? Of course you'll have to charter a car."
"I'm fat, I'll sit in the front." The three were still chatting when Xiao Hu had already jumped into the passenger seat.
"Damn it, have you no shame? Let your sister-in-law sit in the front." Ye Cheng went up and tried to pull Xiao Hu down.
"Forget it, there's not enough room for the three of you men in the back." Jiang Yunxiang pulled Ye Cheng back. "I'll sit in the back, it'll be just right."
Although taxis at that time were not high-end, they were still primarily practical and relatively spacious. Ye Cheng and Ye Guowei, the couple, squeezed into the back just right.
"Go back and take a bath with pomelo leaves to get rid of bad luck," Jiang Yunxiang muttered in the car.
"My water heater just came down directly, where would I get a pomelo leaf?" Ye Cheng interjected.
"Then pour it out and wash it in the bucket. We have to use it anyway, understand?" Jiang Yunxiang glanced at her brother-in-law who wanted to slack off and decisively dissuaded him.
The car stopped at the village entrance, not because it couldn't go in, but because there were people there.
A dozen or so people were chatting at the village entrance. When they saw a taxi coming, they all stood up and stood at the intersection watching, making the taxi afraid to drive past.
"Big brother, are they blocking our way here?" Ye Cheng looked down and peered through the windshield, but couldn't make out who it was.
