Chapter 96 Chapter 96 There are still three days left, and I can go back home to see Hong Guo...
Jiang Hongguo ran to Huaihua's parents' home. Coincidentally, Huaihua's uncle had returned, his illness had been cured, and he was full of energy. He asked relatives and friends to bear witness that he had severed ties with his younger brother.
"He got into trouble with loan sharks outside. I also have a wife and children. We must break off this relationship no matter what. I can't let him get involved."
The neighbor who was trying to stop the quarrel couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother, your brother borrowed the high-interest loan for your medical treatment. You don't help pay it back, and you want to break off the relationship. It's really too much."
Uncle Huaihua immediately scolded his neighbors: "He borrowed the loan shark to buy a job from me, not to treat my illness. Don't talk nonsense."
"No way, big brother, you were sick at first, so you asked Huaihua's father to help you. Then the mine got a new boss, and the contract was re-signed. You couldn't work in the mine because of your health, so you had to give it to your younger brother. Your younger brother didn't treat you badly, and he emptied his savings to treat you. Now that you are cured, you can either ask Huaihua's father to return the job to you or take out a loan to change it yourself."
Uncle Huaihua insisted: "He didn't give me money for my medical treatment out of kindness. He just bought my job loan. You must sign this letter of severance today."
Huaihua's parents were forced into a hopeless state: "Brother, when you were sick, we didn't watch you die. Now you can't watch us die, right?"
"That can't be helped. Who told you to get involved in loan sharking? If you get involved, your family will be ruined. Even though I'm your eldest brother, I can't do anything about it."
Jiang Hongguo understood. Now that Uncle Huaihua wanted to break off the relationship, it was just right. She stepped forward and said, "Stop arguing. Let me say a few words of justice. Is that ok?"
The man who came was the boss of the mining area. Uncle Huaihua said, "Okay, but don't look at them with pity and ask me to help. I don't have the money to help."
Jiang Hongguo said, "I don't need your help. Since you want to break off the relationship, you need to sign another settlement agreement to prove that it was Huaihua's father who bought your job with the loan shark. When he pays off the debt in the future, the job will have nothing to do with you. Don't play tricks on me. This is my private coal mine. At worst, I can open it to someone in your family and then recruit someone new."
When Uncle Huaihua heard this, he thought that going out to treat his illness and gain some experience, setting up a stall was better than getting entangled with loan sharks.
"Okay, then let's do as Boss Jiang says. I'll sign."
Huaihua's mother cried and begged: "Boss Jiang, you can't handle it this way, or our family will be driven to death by loan sharks."
Jiang Hongguo said impatiently: "You asked for it. What does it have to do with me? My mine doesn't have time to meddle with your business. Can you do your job? If not, leave."
Huaihua's father didn't care about that anymore and said quickly, "Let's sign."
Under the witnesses of all parties, the severance letter, the reconciliation letter, and the job description were all written clearly. Uncle Huaihua was very satisfied and said, "I will put it in the newspaper right now. Everyone will see it. Don't touch usury, otherwise we can't be brothers."
Huaihua's mother was so angry that she poured the slop from the house on him: "You black-hearted person, you will get retribution."
Uncle Huaihua sneered angrily: "Don't blame me. I was forced to do this. If there is retribution, how can the bully who lent you usury money still be fine? Where is the retribution? If there is retribution, call me in the future to let me know."
"Don't worry, I'll burn some paper and tell you when there's retribution in the future!" Huaihua's mother cursed angrily.
Most of the onlookers had left, but Hongguo stayed. Looking at the couple who wanted to die, she felt pity and anger. They were so stupid. Even if they were brothers, they should have been aware of it when they were tricked into borrowing money from loan sharks. They had their own reasons for being forced to this point.
Hongguo went into Huaihua's house and saw that it was really bare. She was speechless: "In the past six months or so, I have worked with you guys, and our families have improved. Look at you, you are suffering, and you are also suffering with your children. What are you thinking?"
The couple lowered their heads and wiped their tears: "It's no use talking about this now."
"It works. You still have one chance."
"What chance?" Huaihua's parents expressed hope.
Hong Guo said, "Zhang Qingxiao was caught gambling. He won't be asked to find someone to take his place this time, but the crime of gambling alone is not enough. You should report him to the police for loan sharking, intimidation and extortion. Don't be afraid of his thugs. You saw what happened at the mine with your own eyes. They are just paper tigers."
The Huaihua couple looked at each other. If they didn't seize the opportunity this time, they would be doomed.
They nodded hurriedly: "Boss Jiang, I will do whatever you say."
Hong Guo nodded: "It's very simple. Just go to the city police station and report the case. Tell us everything clearly. We will take care of the rest."
…
Zhang Yaoqin was waiting for good news from home. Although she was worried, her uncle and aunt had promised that they would do their best. After all, if they wanted the mine to provide them with money for a long time, they had to provide protection. This was Zhang Yaoqin's confidence.
Chu Chengwu's dizziness had long since healed. Jiang Hongguo's blow with the stick looked powerful, but she was very frail and did not have much strength.
But the gauze on his head was not removed, which made him look serious and seemed very loyal.
Chu Chengwu came to Zhang Yaoqin to report: "Qing Xiao was gambling last night, and I don't know which bastard reported it, and he was arrested."
Zhang Yaoqin was familiar with this kind of thing. She said impatiently, "Why are you asking me about such a small matter? Just find someone who was gambling last night, give him some money, and ask him to admit that he tricked Qing Xiao into gambling. Isn't this how it was done before?"
Hehe, everyone who is going to gamble this time has been warned, and no one will agree.
Chu Chengwu was embarrassed: "No, I can't say anything now. Besides, Qian Erhai and his wife are too mean. They took advantage of the situation and went to the police station to report the case, saying that Qing Xiao was a loan shark and forced his family to be ruined. They started it. If the families whose wives Erhai had slept with before unite, the crime will be serious."
Zhang Yaoqin felt dizzy. If it was just one thing, it would be easy to solve. But when all the things happened at the same time, it was obvious that someone had messed up.
It must be Jiang Hongguo. Now I can’t worry about revenge, I have to get my son out first.
She ordered: "Take someone with you and bring Qian Erhai and his wife to me, I will try to persuade them."
They said they were trying to persuade him, but they were actually using coercion and inducement. For breaking a cup, they asked people to pay 200 yuan in compensation. He did the same thing in the beginning, so he had no choice but to sacrifice his body before he could accept the humiliation.
Chu Chengwu frowned and said, "No, it's impossible. After Qian Erhai and his wife reported the case, their whole family moved to the mine. Our people can't get into Jiang Hongguo's mine and can't bring them out."
Zhang Yaoqin smashed the teacup angrily. Chu Chengwu sneered in his heart, thinking that no one would compensate this time.
"Okay, let's fight hard, right? Jiang Hongguo, don't regret it!"
Zhang Yaoqin personally came out, and Chu Chengwu was worried. Would Jiang Hongguo win this time? If she won, he would be relieved. If she lost, he would continue to endure it as he had agreed with Jiang Hongguo not to give him up.
…
Zhang Yaoqin spent money to buy someone and brought him to the police station to take the blame for her son's gambling.
She went straight to Director Xiao and said, "Director Xiao, we are old classmates. I won't ask for favors. I just want to ask you one thing. Is it true that my son was beaten? When will you find the murderer?"
Director Xiao gave an impeccable answer: "We will do it as soon as possible."
Zhang Yaoqin sneered. Who was she trying to fool? She said, "Then I'll give you a range. It must have been Jiang Hongguo who ordered it."
"Really?" Director Xiao turned to Guan Cheng, who was in charge of the case, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
Guan Cheng was also surprised: "I haven't heard of it. But I have a clue. Her son is a big troublemaker. He organized gambling, set up schemes, and even took other people's wives. Several families have come to sue him."
Director Xiao slammed the table and said, "Is there really such a vicious crime? You must investigate it thoroughly!"
Guan Cheng immediately solemnly assured: "Don't worry, Chief Xiao, I will definitely investigate and solve the case as soon as possible."
Zhang Yaoqin was very angry at their echoing of the words and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, my son has money and good looks, someone is deliberately messing with my son."
Guan Cheng was relieved: "Director Xiao, you and Boss Zhang are just elementary school classmates. You'd better distance yourself from her, so that others won't gossip about you and suspect that you are her protector."
Director Xiao glared at him and said, "Go and handle your case."
Guan Cheng was in the temporary special case handling department. After he finished his work, he still needed to handle ordinary cases. It happened that Zhang Qingxiao was caught for gambling, so he actively took the case. Another absentee came to report that he was almost driven to death by Zhang Qingxiao's usury, and this time he would never let this scourge get away.
Director Xiao told Zhang Yaoqin: "We did commit many crimes and did not catch them in time, but God has eyes. When the time comes, it will be useless no matter who you look for."
Zhang Yaoqin didn't believe that Zhang's uncles had divided up so much money from the mine. She had the evidence in her hands. If they dared to ignore it, she would expose it and no one would have an easy time.
Zhang Yaoqin was as anxious as an ant on hot pot. She called the Zhang family and asked her uncle to find a solution.
"You guys are still talking about dealing with Jiang Hongguo, but now my son can't get out. You have to find a way to get him out, or I'll show you the evidence and no one will have an easy time."
The uncle and aunt on the other side were not frightened. They sneered and said, "What evidence do you have? Isn't it just that we took some money from you? We pushed one person to jail, but think about it. Your son is not sentenced to death. He has to live after more than ten years in prison. Won't he still rely on us by then? I advise you to be realistic and don't count on your biological father. He doesn't value you that much. Where do you think the money we got back went in the end? Most of it was squandered on his biological daughter and son-in-law. Do you understand?"
Zhang Yaoqin was stunned: "So, I am just your tool to make money. If something goes wrong, my son and I will have to take the blame?"
The other party was very disgusted: "Don't say such harsh words. Your son is in prison, you can still continue to make money for him. When he comes out, you will have a good life. We will also help you with activities."
Zhang Yaoqin felt disappointed. Was she abandoned? However, they asked her to take the lead and test Jiang Hongguo's background so that she could have a chance to seize her mine.
But these words were just words, and she had no evidence. However, she did have other evidence.
After hanging up the phone, the couple, who had been calm, wiped the sweat from their foreheads and said, "Can you scare her? If she gives us away, we will be abandoned. I don't want to go to jail."
"Why don't we create an accident? Once the person dies, the debt will be settled and we won't be held responsible."
…
After Zhang Yaoqin had been begging for help, she found out that the person she thought was her backer was actually a piece of useless wood. The other person was not trying to help her at all, but was just trying to coax her into making money.
Worried about my son, I found a lawyer and finally saw him in the detention center.
Zhang Qingxiao didn't understand why he couldn't get out this time, and shouted: "Mom, didn't you find someone to arrange it? Hurry up and tell them to let me out."
Zhang Yaoqin had looked for him everywhere, but it was all in vain. She decided to go look for her old father herself. He had only grandson, and he couldn't just ignore him. He had let her mother and her down, but he couldn't let his grandson down.
Zhang Yaoqin comforted him, "Qingxiao, the situation is not right this time. All the connections I have made have failed. Please be patient. Mom will think of a solution."
"In other words, you have no other solution?" Zhang Qingxiao asked with a cold face.
Zhang Yaoqin quickly explained: "No, I can still go find your grandfather and ask him for help. He will definitely be able to help you."
Zhang Qingxiao suddenly flew into a rage, and rushed over to strangle Zhang Yaoqin: "It's all your fault. It was you who said that as long as I didn't kill anyone or set anything else on fire, you could protect me. When I was in elementary school, the teacher came to our house and you beat the teacher away, and told me not to be afraid. At that time, I thought, if you can even beat up a teacher, what else in this world can't you do? Now you say you can't save me? Why don't we die together and reincarnate again!"
The police quickly separated the mother and son. What kind of family education did they have to raise such a stupid devil son?
Zhang Yaoqin stumbled out, and the lawyer couldn't bear to watch: "Let him be reformed in there, why did you rescue him?"
"No, you can't do that. No one loved me before. I swore to give my son the most and best love in the world. If his father beats him, I will change his medicine and no one will beat him anymore."
The lawyer was terrified when he heard this. What kind of family are these?
"I can't take your case. Sorry, please find someone else."
…
Zhang Yaoqin was desperate and went to find Chen Qingzhi to ask her to pass on a message: "I am willing to use my family's mine to exchange for my son. Please tell your husband if he is willing to trade."
A mine. Chen Qingzhi was very excited, but she couldn't make the decision. She said, "Then I'll ask for you."
Chen Qingzhi stewed some soup and sent it to her husband at the mine. She heard that he was discussing some business with several mine owners. She waited at the mine for a long time with nothing to do. She thought to herself that Jiang Hongguo could be the boss at the mine and fight with others, but her husband never asked her to participate in business matters. She felt a little disappointed when she thought about it.
It would be great if the husband could follow his lead. People really should not be greedy. Many people envy her life. Those people probably didn't expect that there are people who envy her too.
After waiting for a long time, her husband came back. Chen Qingzhi said quickly, "I'm here for something. Zhang Yaoqin was so arrogant a few days ago, but it turns out that her backstage is not strong. After a few moves, she was forced into a desperate situation. She came to me and told me that she wanted to exchange the mine for her son. Are you willing?"
Wen Yongshan glanced at her, looking very tired, and patiently explained: "The biggest beneficiary of her mine is not her. No matter who takes it, there will be big problems. Moreover, her son's real crime this time will do more harm than good. It's unnecessary. Besides, I don't like to meddle in such trivial matters. If you can manage it, do it. If not, stay away. I won't interfere."
Chen Qingzhi had no ability to take care of such things, so she hurriedly said, "I don't care. Just pass on the message. Then I know. I don't even need to reply to her."
Zhang Yaoqin was disappointed that she could not get any news, so she ran to Chen Qingzhi and asked, "How is it? What did your husband say?"
Chen Qingzhi began to feel annoyed. How could he not have any tact at all?
"I can't help but look for other ways. In fact, I think the best way is to let your son confess his crime and you earn money outside until he is released."
Zhang Yaoqin cursed: "Not only did you not help, but you actually took advantage of your misfortune. I can see that your life is only good on the surface. In fact, your husband doesn't listen to you. From this perspective, your life is far worse than Jiang Hongguo's. I really feel sorry for you."
Chen Qingzhi was furious: "I think you are mentally ill, and so is your son. Stop pestering me."
Zhang Yaoqin was impulsive. It was Chen Qingzhi's fault for saying the same sarcastic things as those people. She was going to go find her old father. If he dared to stop her, she would spread the news that he abandoned his wife and daughter.
Gu Changzong arrived at the place yesterday and spent a whole day inquiring about the situation and making arrangements. Just then, Zhang Yaoqin came and threatened her cheap uncle to fight to the death. It was a pleasant surprise.
…
The eldest son of the Zhang family has been having a headache these days, and his father told him that his half-sister and nephew in his hometown might have gotten into some trouble, and asked him to help.
My wife said that her uncle and aunt were robbed and a big bag was missing. They wanted us to call the police but they refused and went crazy asking us to look for them privately. How can we find them?
There was also a child at home who was on a kindergarten school bus when a crane suddenly lost control. Fortunately, a yellow dog jumped out and the school bus driver slammed on the brakes to avoid the school bus being hit by a big tree that was being transplanted. It was really scary.
Someone called him today and made an appointment to meet at the teahouse. When he arrived, he found that the private room had been booked. It was a room on the second floor with windows, overlooking the quiet alley opposite. His uncle and aunt lived opposite.
He is not his biological uncle. His mother and father were only married for half a year. After his mother passed away, his father took him back and raised him as his son. He has an older sister in his hometown. He has no good feelings about his father's marriage history, but there is nothing he can do. As a family, if one suffers, all suffer.
Soon, someone arrived, a tall, handsome, and imposing young man, carrying a black handbag.
"Are you Gu Changzong?" asked the eldest son of the Zhang family. He had heard of Gu Changzong's name before. Like his half-sister, he was a private coal boss who ran a mine.
Gu Changzong threw the bag in his hand to him: "Open it and take a look."
There can't be anything scary, threatening, or bloody in here, right?
The Zhang family's eldest brother was trembling with fear. He unzipped his pants a little bit, and when he opened it about a finger's length, his eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly opened it and saw a large bag of money. There must be tens of thousands of dollars in it. My God, how much is his salary? What does Gu Changzong want to do?
"You want to bribe me?" The Zhang family's eldest brother hurriedly returned the bag. "I am very determined and will never be corrupted by your sugar-coated bullets. I will not provide any scientific research materials. Take the money quickly, or I will report you."
You are really pedantic because of your studies. Gu Changzong smiled coldly: "This money is not mine. It is the dividend that your cheap uncle and aunt got from your Zhang Yaoqin. I intercepted it and sent it to you for processing."
The Zhang family's eldest brother's hands were shaking, but he was not stupid. Giving so much money meant there was a deal involved.
"What evidence do you have?"
Gu Changzong threw his ID on the table in front of him. "I'm from the Unnatural Investigation Division. It's on my job. You don't need to ask. It's a sin to ask about my job. Your son encountered an unnatural event yesterday. There have been many such events across the country. Good and bad are interdependent. There was a child registered in the kindergarten bus yesterday. Pay special attention. Your son is very likely to be involved, but I'm not happy about it."
"Why?" The eldest son of the Zhang family was holding Gu Changzong's ID. When he heard that he was going to do something bad, he got anxious. For people like them, money and power are nothing but clouds. Research is their lifelong pursuit. His limit is there and he cannot break through it. But his son's hope has not even begun and it is going to be snuffed out. This is more painful than killing him.
Gu Changzong laughed, "Do you really need me to explain it clearly? Your half-sister has offended me, and this account must be settled on you."
The Zhang family boss was dissatisfied: "Why?"
Gu Changzong said impatiently, "Can you please stop asking nonsense? Zhang Yaoqin and your cheap uncle opened a mine together and took advantage of their power to indulge her son's wrongdoings. I want them to get what they deserve. I want you to put justice above your own family. If you handle this matter well, your son can also be noticed smoothly. Isn't this difficult for you?"
The eldest of the Zhang family hurriedly sought reconciliation: "My eldest sister was a little domineering, how did she offend you? I apologize to you on their behalf. We will pay you whatever compensation you need. Zhang Yaoqin has been helpless since she was a child, and she is quite pitiful."
Gu Changzong asked: "How many times have you been back?"
The Zhang family elder said: "How can we go back? We can only contact my father by phone."
Gu Changzong casually reported the crime: "Then you must not know that Zhang Yaoqin's son lent money at high interest rates and almost broke up the family. He is also mentally ill and doesn't like young girls. He only likes other people's wives and likes to use force. He has more than a dozen thugs. Originally, these have nothing to do with me. I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but he was so stubborn that he had to cause the absenteeism in my mine. Originally, your family was going to be broken up this time, but your son connected it with an unnatural event and saved your life. If you insist on doing it, I don't mind finding another child in that school bus. Anyway, they are all about the same smart and no one will question me."
The Zhang family's eldest brother was already trembling after hearing this: "I really don't know what you are talking about, and I don't know how to help you?"
Gu Changzong smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's enough if you have this awareness. Just sit here until you can leave."
The Zhang family boss was confused. When is the right time to leave? You have to explain it clearly.
He was getting impatient while waiting, not realizing that the carbuncle at home had become so rotten, it must have been caused by his uncle and aunt's indulgence.
It is obvious to heaven that this family has never treated him as their own. His mother is unknown, and if he had not been good at studying, his father would not have brought him home.
My father should have been aware of what my eldest brother-in-law and grandson were doing, but he didn't ask and even indulged them. He is old and dying, so why should he be implicated?
The eldest son of the Zhang family was indignant. His mother was sacrificed, and so was he. Why?
Just when I was angry, I suddenly saw Zhang Yaoqin appear at the intersection. What was she doing here? She must have been desperate and came to my uncle for help.
When he was hesitating about what to do, he suddenly saw his uncle running out. Because he knew him, Zhang Yaoqin was caught off guard and was still smiling. But the next moment, his uncle stabbed the carotid artery in his neck and he couldn't even scream.
The eldest son of the Zhang family was like being struck by lightning and unable to move. Oh my God, he actually witnessed a murder with his own eyes, and it was his uncle and sister. No, no, they were not his relatives, he was just an adopted son!
The eldest son of the Zhang family stumbled and called the police using the restaurant's phone. He was afraid that his uncle would kill him too, so he didn't dare to go until the police arrived.
His uncle heard the sirens and rushed out. Seeing the dead body on the ground, he burst into tears: "My poor niece, you said you would come today, so I was waiting at home. It was just a few steps away. How could you die at my doorstep?"
The police helped him up. The eldest son of the Zhang family saw his uncle's grief-stricken face and felt a chill down his spine. It was too horrible. If he hadn't seen it, he would never have imagined that his cheap uncle's killing hand could be so steady.
The eldest brother of the Zhang family pointed out the murderer on the spot: "Comrade police, the murderer is my uncle. I saw it with my own eyes in the restaurant across the street."
His uncle came up and wanted to strangle him: "You ungrateful beast, are you going to wrongly accuse your uncle?"
When the eldest son of the Zhang family saw him killing someone, he was really afraid that he would be injured by mistake. It would be too unfair to strangle him to death by the murderer's uncle.
He quickly hid behind the policeman and said, "Comrade policeman, I really saw it. I also saw that he didn't dare to take the murder weapon with him and threw it into the sewer. I will take you to find it."
His uncle tried desperately to get past the police, trying to kill him, but they handcuffed him.
The murder weapon was found and matched the fatal wound. The eldest son of the Zhang family was going to give his statement. He looked around but didn't see Gu Changzong. Was he looking?
How did Gu Changzong know that Zhang Yaoqin came to see his uncle? And how did he know that his uncle would kill her?
He knew about it but didn't stop it. He even made him a witness. Gu Changzong was so cruel.
The only thing he was thankful for now was that he had not paid attention to these transactions and was arranged to be a witness, so he was implicated the least. The head of the Zhang family did not dare to hide anything and even told the police some fragmentary details that were not related to the murder case.
Gu Changzong had been in the car on the road nearby. Zhang Yaoqin was killed by her step-uncle, and it had nothing to do with him. Once Zhang Yaoqin was dead, there was no one to take care of her. With Zhang Qingxiao's irritable and violent personality, it was only a matter of time before he was beaten to death in prison.
There are still three days left in the holiday, and it’s really great that I can go back home to see Hongguo and Diandian.
