When the fake Zimo heard that he was going to be sent to the police station, he was so scared that he burst into tears.
He sobbed and said in a trembling voice: "My mother said...our two families are relatives, she helped you raise your child, and she is indebted to your family.
Even if...even if we are discovered, you can't send me to the police station! If you do that, others will laugh at you for being ungrateful and stupid!"
Principal Li looked at him with a cold glint in his eyes. He said sternly, "We are not trying to scare you. Qian Erni took our money and abused our children.
I even let you impersonate our Zimo to steal things. Your actions are suspected of fraud and theft. I will drag you to the police station to report the case now.
When you get there, remember to confess your crime honestly to the police."
As he spoke, Principal Li stood up and was about to leave. Seeing this, the fake Zimo was so frightened that he threw himself to the ground, knelt a few steps, and hugged Principal Li's legs tightly.
He pleaded loudly, "Grandpa, I was wrong. I'll tell you everything. This has nothing to do with me. It was that idiot Qian Erni who made me do it."
If you want to arrest someone, just arrest that idiot! I beg you to give me a chance, I will never dare to do it again! "
Liu Juan and Li Muhan looked at each other, and when they saw the fake Zimo cursing Qian Erni, a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes.
Principal Li continued, "It's okay if we don't send you to the police station. You must answer all our questions truthfully. Otherwise, I will definitely show no mercy and send you straight to the police station."
Fake Zimo nodded repeatedly and said sincerely, "Ask me! I promise to tell you the truth and never lie to you. Anyone who lies to you is a puppy and an idiot!"
"Stand up and talk!" Principal Li pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit down and talk slowly. I believe you and Qian Erni are not on the same page. You must have the courage to expose her crimes and strive for leniency."
When Fake Zimo heard this, his chest straightened up and he said in a firm tone, "Ask me anything you want. I'll tell you everything I know about the bad things that idiot has done."
Principal Li nodded. "Okay, then let me ask you, are you Zimo or Xiaokui?"
Fake Zimo looked at Principal Li in surprise, "My name is Zimo! Anyway, since I can remember, I have been called Tong Zimo.
That little Kui is called Tong Jukui, what a vulgar name! I don’t know what his parents were thinking when they gave him such a name, what idiots!
Principal Li rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "Zimo, could you please stop using dirty words? It's making people uncomfortable."
Fake Zimo was stunned for a moment, "Did I use any swear words? No! I was just speaking politely!"
Principal Li knew that this was a habit that would be difficult to change, so he stopped trying to talk to a deaf person and continued, "Okay! Just be careful to use less of those catchphrases of yours.
Please tell us about Xiao Kui's daily life in your family! For example, what does he eat, what does he wear, what kind of work does he do, etc...."
Fake Zimo scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "My mom said that Xiaokui is a jinx and that eating and sleeping with us will bring us bad luck.
We never let him sit at the table during meals. We only let him eat after we finish. He eats leftovers and wears our patched old clothes.
At night, we let him watch Uncle Zhao sleep in the cowshed, and the team could give him some work points. My mother said this was waste recycling.
Fake Zimo's words shocked and angered Liu Juan and Li Muchen. Liu Juan couldn't help sobbing softly, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't accept the treatment Xiao Kui received at Fake Zimo's house.
Li Muchen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, obviously he was extremely angry.
Principal Li and his lover were so angry that their lips were trembling. Seeing this, Chu Jingqiu sighed. She looked at the fake Zimo and asked, "Zimo, did your mother tell you about Xiaokui's identity?"
Fake Zimo glared, "Of course he did. He said that I am twins and he is my younger brother. It's just that he was born at a bad time and is unlucky for our whole family. That's why my dad and mom don't like him. He is a jinx."
After saying that, he seemed to realize something and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Fuck, why do you keep asking him? You don't think he is your child, do you?
Haha, let me tell you, this idiot is definitely my mom’s son, he looks just like my dad.”
"Shut up! Who taught you to swear at such a young age?"
Shu Yahan couldn't bear to watch this anymore and scolded the fake Zimo, "Let me ask you, you've been in school for so many years, haven't you learned anything? Also, how could your mother bear to let Xiaokui go to school for three years?"
Fake Zimo pouted and said angrily: "My mother is reluctant to let Xiaokui go to school! It's not because I don't want to go to school, but my mother forces me to go. I always get criticized by the teacher for not completing my homework.
That day, I saw Xiao Kui carrying a basket of pig grass and eavesdropping through the window outside the classroom. I came up with an idea.
Let Xiaokui go to school with me, and then he can do my homework for me. Wouldn’t that make it easier for me to go to school?
At first my mother disagreed. She would roll on the ground and refuse to go to school. Then my mother agreed to let him go to school, but on one condition: he had to carry my brother on his back.
When he was in the third grade, my mother refused to let him go to school and asked him to work in the fields to earn work points. Anyway, he could read, so it didn't matter if he didn't go to school.
He could help me with my fourth and fifth grade homework by just looking at my textbook. He's quite smart at learning cultural knowledge, and he's more than capable of handling the teacher's homework."
Chu Jingqiu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Zimo, is Xiaokui's life so hard at your house? Does he have to do a lot of work every day?"
Fake Zimo nodded, without a trace of guilt on his face, “Well, he has to do a lot of work in my house.
He had to do everything: chopping wood, cooking, feeding pigs and chickens, looking after the children, and even cutting grass for the pigs. My mother said, if you don’t work, you don’t eat.”
I remember one time, Xiao Kui went to the river to wash clothes, and accidentally dropped his clothes into the river, and several pieces were washed away.
My mother was so angry that she picked up a whip and beat him severely. That night, he had a high fever and became very ill.
If Old Zhao hadn't discovered it in time and sent him to the health center, he might have been burned to death!
How should I put it? My sister said that when Xiao Kui is in our house, he gets up earlier than the chickens, sleeps later than the dogs, eats worse than the pigs, and works harder than the donkeys...!"
Before he could finish his words, Liu Juan suddenly covered her ears and screamed in pain, "Enough, stop talking! There's not a single good person in your family, you're just a bunch of beasts...!"
Her voice was filled with anger and sadness, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Li Muhan stood aside, silently wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, gently hugged Liu Juan in his arms, and patted her shoulders to comfort her.
