Father Xiao watched the two of them go away, then turned around and looked at his son who had been silent the whole time, feeling a little disappointed.
"What are you still looking at?" Father Xiao said in a deep voice, "I think you'd better stop dreaming."
"They are both girls from the Lu family, so why is there such a big difference between you? Oh my god... How could such an outstanding girl like Lu Qin fall for you? Look at what you have become!" Father Xiao didn't know what to say to his son.
Perhaps he is used to everything going smoothly and has never experienced any setbacks since he was a child. When something happens, he is at a loss and has no ability to solve the problem.
Father Xiao thought about it again and again. He originally thought his son was already very good, so a little immaturity was fine. But compared with Qu Dongbo, he was still far behind.
With this in mind, Father Xiao continued, "I don't care what your relationship with the two Lu sisters is, but listen, don't dwell on that little thing all day long. The current situation is turbulent, so you'd better think clearly about what is most important right now."
Xiao Xu remained silent.
The events of the past two days had dealt him a heavy blow. He knew in his heart that Lu Qin didn't like him, and now she already had a boyfriend, while he was entangled with Lu Qi. Sometimes he had to admit that, in comparison, the other person was much better than him.
But deep down in my heart there is always a glimmer of hope, hoping that a miracle will happen.
"Let's go. Don't just stand there like a fool." Father Xiao said, "Your mother hasn't had a single bite to eat yet, even though she's trying to save your face today."
......
After dinner, the 24-hour detention limit was almost up.
According to the rules, even if 24 hours have passed, the bailiff must sign before the detained person can be brought out.
This is also a recent new rule. Anyone caught by the guards causing disturbances or committing various crimes will be detained for varying periods of time, depending on the severity of the offense. And except for those with minor offenses, all other prisoners must pay bail and obtain the signature of a bailor before they can be released.
Of course, death row inmates are excluded.
The minimum bail is no less than ten kilograms of food.
Special rules apply to special times. Once this rule came out, there were fewer fights.
Lu Qin would definitely not pay bail for Lu Fenghua's family. However, for a minor case like this, where the prisoner is only detained for 24 hours, bail is not required. The reason is simple: if the prisoner is detained for more than 24 hours, food must be provided to prevent him from starving to death.
If not, I'm afraid too many people would just think of going to the detention center, where they would have food, shelter, and protection from the cold.
The detention center was originally a garment factory, not far from the shelter. The factory building was so high-quality that it hadn't collapsed despite months of heavy snow, so it was temporarily requisitioned as a rotational detention center.
Before even stepping into the detention center's gate, Lu Qin could hear the sounds inside.
"Hey, they're bullying! Come quickly and see how these officials are bullying the people!" Lu Qin's aunt was born in the countryside. Although she didn't know much else, she had learned to be unreasonable.
"We have worked so hard to pay taxes for so many years, and all of it has been used to support you bastards. I want to see what you can do to me if I stay here today!" This is Lu Fenghua himself. He doesn't have any great abilities, but he has always felt that he is superior to others.
"Wow, mom, I'm hungry! I want to eat chicken legs! I want to eat sausages! Wow..." Uh, this is her cousin Lu Fangan, 13 years old.
Lu Qin rubbed his temples.
Every time she met these people, she felt a headache.
As Qu Dongbo entered, everyone saluted. A young officer came over, looking a little surprised: "Hello, Commander! What are your instructions?"
Lu Qin recognized him. He was also one of Qu Dongbo's guards, having been with him longer than Zhang Yu. Later, Qu Dongbo appointed him as the captain of the guard team, responsible for managing public security throughout Antu County. Everyone in the detention center and the guard team was his trusted aides.
"Just do what you should do. I came here with Xiaoqin. Where is the family we arrested yesterday? Are they them?" Qu Dongbo pointed at the three people who were still making noise.
This officer had been one of the people Qu Dongbo had brought to the Self-Rescue Society to rescue Lu Qin. Having been by his side for a long time, he naturally knew that his captain had a special relationship with Lu Qin. He wasn't overly surprised. "Yes, it's them. They've been detained for over two hours, and they refuse to leave. We must get an explanation."
"You are their leader, right?" Lu Fenghua saw Qu Dongbo's extraordinary demeanor and asked, "I'm saying, what's the point of arguing with servants like them? Wouldn't it have been better to let you guys come first?"
"I'm a citizen. I didn't kill anyone or set any fire. How can you justify locking me up?" Lu Fenghua said arrogantly, "I'm telling you, I have evidence that you're arresting people indiscriminately. Not only are you detaining prisoners without permission, you're also torturing them and not giving them food. You'll be fired for doing this!"
"Are you scared?" Lu Fenghua sat on a chair in the hall. "Now, treat me to a good meal, apologize, and compensate me with 100 kilograms... no, 300 kilograms of rice! Then I won't report you."
Lu Qin couldn't bear to listen any longer and burst out laughing. Even the team members on duty nearby had a hard time holding back their laughter.
"You look like an idiot." Lu Qin said, "Uncle, what do you think this place is?"
Lu Fenghua looked at her carefully, but didn't recognize Lu Qin for a moment. However, Lu Qin's aunt beside her recognized her: "Isn't this the girl from your damn brother's family! I said, Liang Shuyu is here, how could this damn girl not be here? She moved away without telling us, thinking we didn't know? What happened? She used our family's money and absconded with the money without saying a word?"
"I don't know when I used your family's money?"
"Oh, you still don't admit it? You sold your house and hid in such a faraway place, afraid that our Lu family would find you, right? Sir, it was this damn girl who took our money and ran away, causing our whole family to be homeless on the streets, and even our old lady couldn't survive the winter." Aunt Lu Qin was really good at singing and composing. At the end of her speech, she even squeezed out a few tears, acting like a real person.
"The house was left to us by my father." Lu Qin said with a smile: "Come to think of it, Aunt, my last name is Lu, but you don't!"
"You damn girl! How can you talk like that!"
.......
"What are you going to do?" Qu Dongbo asked, "How about I handle it for you? Just drive them out of Antu County."
Lu Qin shook her head. This was what she had originally thought, but this morning Xiao Xu had spoken up for Lu Qi, hoping that she would not make things difficult for Lu Fenghua's family.
Lu Qin was so angry that he laughed.
"Xiao Xu, am I someone who makes things difficult for others in your eyes? Open your eyes and see clearly. They were the ones who sent my mother to the hospital first. Should I thank them? The Lu Fenghua family treated you as a fool, but you were thinking about them."
"No, Xiaoqin, no matter what, Lu Qi is pregnant, I..." Xiao Xu felt very guilty, but he didn't know how to express it.
"Forget it. As long as their family doesn't cause me any trouble, I'll be thankful."
......
Since she had agreed, Lu Qin had no intention of being a pushover and doing anything to Lu Fenghua's family. She just signed the document herself, asking the detention center to release the person and notify Xiao Xu to pick him up. As for the follow-up, she had no control over it.
Before Lu Fenghua and his wife could say anything, the little brat Lu Fangan suddenly ran up and grabbed Lu Qin's legs, preventing him from leaving. "Give me back my house! Give me back my money! You're not allowed to leave!"
Lu Qin almost tripped and struggled subconsciously. As a result, she happened to kick Lu Fangan. After all, she was a child and didn't have much strength, so she fell down.
Just as Lu Fangan was about to get up from the ground, his mother grabbed him and held him down, making him lie motionless. "Murder! Murder! Someone come quickly! Someone is trying to kill my son!"
“…”
Qu Dongbo didn't want to intervene at first, but he couldn't help it. He suddenly took out a shiny black object from his pocket and put it on Aunt Lu Qin's head.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a shiny black gun.
"Would you try shouting again?
