Chapter 366: The Final Verdict
Chapter 366: The Final Verdict
the next day.
Qin Huairu brought breakfast to the hospital to visit Banggeng and Shazhu.
"Mom." Bang Geng's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Huairu, especially the aluminum box in her hand.
The poop that I ate yesterday has been excreted, and my stomach is growling with emptiness, so Qin Huairu came to bring me food.
"Yeah." Qin Huairu responded with a cold face. Even though Banggeng seemed fine, it couldn't make her happy.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Banggeng was a little scared when he saw this.
Qin Huairu opened the aluminum box in silence and handed it to Bang Geng.
"Eat, and talk after you finish." Qin Huairu knew the rule of not talking while eating.
Besides, Banggeng has been hungry for a whole day. Not eating is not good for his health, especially when he is growing.
Banggeng took the lunch box and started eating, but he didn't enjoy the meal very much. The air pressure in the ward was so cold, how could he eat well?
But with an empty stomach, he finished the sticks in just a few bites.
"Have you finished eating?" Qin Huairu still had that cold expression on her face.
"Yeah." Banggeng nodded a little fearfully and put the lunch box on the table.
"Now that you've finished eating, tell me about the time you stole the candy." Qin Huairu's eyes sparkled with fire when she brought up this topic.
"Did you sneak into Li Kailang's house yesterday and steal his candy?"
"No, no." Bang Geng shook his head and denied it. He couldn't admit it.
"No? Bang Geng, is this how I taught you to behave? You still want to lie to me, can you fool me? Don't you know what Li Kailang is?"
Looking at Banggeng lowering his head with a guilty look on his face, anyone who is not a fool can tell that Banggeng is lying.
"Do you know that you ate the candy secretly because Li Kailang set you up? He put drugs in the candy and waited for you to eat it secretly. Do you know that?"
"Ah?!" Banggeng was stunned and his jaw dropped in shock.
He was hiding so well, how could he be discovered? This shouldn't have happened.
"What? How great do you think you are? Who can you fool with your little tricks?" Qin Huairu was furious when she saw Banggeng's silly look.
He is indeed Jia Dongxu's son. He is just stupid, and that's fine. He is also self-righteous and always thinks he is smart and can deceive others.
She lies without thinking. Yesterday, she was worried that she didn't think deeply about what Bang Geng said, so she thought deeply about it all night and found many problems.
This father and son both look the same when they lie or feel guilty, and they dare not even look anyone in the eye.
Qin Huairu stretched out her hand and wanted to teach Bang Geng a lesson, but seeing how weak he looked, she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she had to give up.
"Remember this in the future. Don't cause trouble for Li Kailang. You have your own little tricks in mind, and you're not enough to make him suffer."
"Also, don't go into Li Kailang's house in the future, especially when he didn't lock the door. Don't go in. You don't think Li Kailang is stupid and didn't lock the door, do you?"
Qin Huairu tried her best to belittle Bang Geng, just to tell him not to dream of causing trouble for Li Kailang, and to put an end to his thoughts now to avoid trouble in the future.
"Did you hear that?"
"I heard it." Banggeng replied dejectedly.
"They are all troublesome people. They don't help with work and just cause trouble." Qin Huairu continued to complain, "Do you know how much money your family spent on your rescue?"
"It's only about a hundred yuan. That's your father's three months' salary. With that money, he can eat meat for a month. I gave it all away to you. Are you satisfied?"
"Ah?" When Banggeng heard that he had to pay so much money, he lowered his head even lower, even lower than that of an ostrich.
In fact, there are not so many, not even half of them. After all, the rescue of stick stems is mainly to induce vomiting, and it will be fine after vomiting.
This expense was actually Sha Zhu's. After all, Sha Zhu had to go to the emergency room twice, both for external injuries and for gastrointestinal surgery. It was so expensive after all these expenses.
Qin Huairu mentioned so much money just to scare Banggeng so that he wouldn't make trouble and would feel guilty.
But in fact, the Jia family did not spend a penny. It was all paid by Yi Zhonghai. Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu did not bring any money to the hospital, so how could they pay?
As everyone knows, whenever money is involved, the Jia family will never pay.
In other words, Yi Zhonghai's money is just wasted and there is no way he can get it back.
Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai had a plan when he paid the money. It was just one month's salary and he could afford it.
When Qin Huairu saw Banggeng's miserable state, she touched his head distressedly, hugged him in her arms, patted him gently and comforted him:
"Okay, okay, just remember it. Just admit your mistakes and don't make the same mistake again."
Bang Geng leaned in Qin Huairu's arms, his eyes became moist and he sobbed softly. It seemed that he had heard what she said.
But whether he really listened to it or not is unknown, only Banggeng himself knows.
Qin Huairu, who was comforting Bang Geng, thought of something.
"I don't know where my mom hid her retirement money. She must have saved a lot over the years. I'll find it when I get back. There are only a few places anyway."
"It just so happens that I can't get out for a year, so I might as well keep it. It's just the right amount to supplement my family expenses. When I get out, I can just find an excuse to get by."
If Jia Zhang knew that Qin Huairu was coveting his pension money, she would be so angry that she would die in prison. The money she had hidden with great difficulty was actually coveted by her family.
Qin Huairu has been thinking about Jia Zhang's pension money for a long time, and she has been thinking about it for a long time, no matter how big the gang is.
The reason why Qin Huairu was so concerned about him was that Jia Zhang was really going too far. She was a miser who only made money and never spent it. All she spent was the family's money.
He never touches his own money, even during the holidays. He only spends his own money when he is eating alone.
"Okay, just go to bed."
With Qin Huairu's comfort, Banggeng slowly fell asleep. Then she looked at Shazhu beside her.
Sha Zhu woke up for a while yesterday and has been in a coma ever since. He didn't wake up even when the two of them were talking.
After Qin Huairu made sure Banggeng fell asleep, she planned to leave.
"Hmm~" At this time, Shazhu's murmur sounded.
Qin Huairu got up to check on Sha Zhu's condition.
"Sister Qin." As soon as Sha Zhu opened his eyes, he saw Qin Huairu. His heart felt warm and he felt as happy as if a flower had blossomed.
After all, the person you secretly love is right in front of you, how can you not be happy?
"Shazhu, you're awake. Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Huairu asked.
Hearing Qin Huairu's caring words, Sha Zhu felt even happier. He raised his head slightly and glanced at his body. It was wrapped in bandages, and the injuries could not be seen. He could only feel them.
"Except for being unable to move, there is no discomfort anywhere."
"That's good." Qin Huairu nodded. If something happened to Shazhu, it would be troublesome. After all, he had saved Banggeng.
Although it was Sha Zhu's own fault that things turned out like this and it had nothing to do with the Jia family, in the end it was still caused by them.
"Gululu~"
"Hehehe." Sha Zhu blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"You must be hungry. I brought you breakfast. Eat it while it's hot." Qin Huairu turned around and brought the lunch box.
Seeing this, Sha Zhu struggled to get up, but as soon as he moved he felt pain all over his body.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly pressed Shazhu down and said, "Hey, Shazhu, stop moving. Let me feed you."
"I don't feel comfortable with this. I can do it." Although Sha Zhu really wanted to do this, he couldn't agree so quickly in case he was considered a gangster.
Qin Huairu said, "It's okay. After all, you are Bang Geng's savior. Besides, we are so familiar with each other. Look, you can't even move your hands."
The main thing is that Shazhu has his hands bandaged and he really needs someone to feed him.
If Sha Zhu could eat by himself, Qin Huairu would not bother to feed him, "Okay, eat it while it's hot, it will be bad if it gets cold."
Qin Huairu used the spoon that Banggeng had used to feed Shazhu. When she went out, she brought her own spoon to Banggeng but not to Shazhu.
Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu feeding him, and his heart was filled with joy, excitement, and a variety of other emotions.
This scene made Sha Zhu fantasize about Qin Huairu feeding him as his wife.
It’s a pity that Qin Huairu is not Sha Zhu’s wife now, so she can only think about this in her mind.
"Cough, cough, cough——" Sha Zhu choked and spat out his rice. Qin Huairu was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly, fearing that Sha Zhu would vomit all over her.
Sha Zhu quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister Qin, I haven't eaten for a day and I'm so hungry."
Qin Huairu didn't care, as long as the food didn't spray on her, "It's okay, it's okay, you really don't pay attention when you eat, you spit all over yourself, I'll wipe it for you."
After saying that, Qin Huairu took a towel and wiped Sha Zhu.
Feeling the gentle wiping, Sha Zhu liked Qin Huairu more and more and wanted to marry her more and more.
"Where can I find such a gentle and considerate wife? Jia Dongxu is really something. He doesn't sympathize with Sister Qin at all. If it were me, I would hold her in my hands and not let her do any work."
Shazhu could only say these words in his heart but didn't dare to say them out loud.
But just because he didn't say it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't know what he is thinking. Even Jia Dongxu knows his little thoughts. What's the point of saying it or not?
After wiping, Qin Huairu continued to feed Sha Zhu.
As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. After eating, Sha Zhu remembered what Qin Huairu said yesterday.
"By the way, Sister Qin, you said yesterday that you would introduce someone to me. Who would you introduce me to?"
"Ah? Well, what did you say?" Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Sha Zhu to suddenly ask this question.
Seeing Qin Huairu's reaction, Sha Zhu became anxious.
"Sister Qin, you couldn't have lied to me about what you said yesterday. I jumped into the cesspool because you said you would introduce me to someone."
"You can't go back on your word. My jump was in vain. If I had known, I wouldn't have jumped. Look at all the injuries I have."
Qin Huairu forced a smile, "How could that be? Don't you know what kind of person I am? I mean what I said, and I will introduce you to you."
Hearing this, Sha Zhu felt relieved. "That's good. I thought Sister Qin couldn't remember it. By the way, when can I meet Sister Qin?"
Hearing that they were going to meet, Qin Huairu became anxious. She really just lied to Shazhu yesterday to trick him into going down to rescue Banggeng. In fact, he didn't even know her.
She was a country girl, and although she had lived in the city for seven or eight years, she had basically never traveled far and didn't know any outsiders. How could he introduce her to Sha Zhu?
Qin Huairu's thoughts turned quickly. She couldn't think of outsiders, so she thought about which of her relatives might be suitable.
After thinking about it, there are basically no such people. Those who are of the right age are all married.
Then she could only think of those who were not of age, but there was one, her cousin Qin Jingru.
Qin Jingru is a minor. If she is really introduced to Sha Zhu, regardless of whether Sha Zhu is willing or not, Qin Jingru's parents will break her legs.
The most urgent thing is to muddle through.
"Sister Qin, Sister Qin!"
"Hey, I'm listening. I've been wanting to introduce you to someone for a long time." Qin Huairu responded, "But, you're like this now, with all your injuries, how can I introduce you to someone?"
"We can't invite someone to the hospital for a blind date, that's too unlucky. So, listen to me, I'll introduce someone to you after I get better."
Nowadays, people perceive hospitals as unlucky, and they live as far away from hospitals as possible, unlike in later generations when people lived as close to hospitals as possible.
Hearing this, Sha Zhu nodded, "That's true, let's wait until my injury is healed, Sister Qin, don't forget it then."
Qin Huairu: "Don't worry, how could Sister Qin forget about your matter? I will definitely ask you to remember it. Don't complain that I introduced too many things to you when the time comes."
Sha Zhu was embarrassed, "Oh, how can I do this? I don't need so much."
"Hey, you're still shy." Qin Huairu retorted.
"Knock knock~" there was a knock on the door.
The two turned around and saw that it was Xie Yong and several other policemen.
Seeing Xie Yong, Sha Zhu's eyes lit up: "Police comrade, please come in, is there any good news?"
He forced himself to be unconscious yesterday and called the police, demanding that all the people in the yard who beat him be put in jail.
Xie Yong must have come here at this time to report good news.
Xie Yong came in with a serious face and looked at Sha Zhu, who was wrapped in bandages like a mummy. There was no sympathy or pity in his eyes as there was yesterday.
After some investigation, it turned out that things were not at all as Sha Zhu said, and he was the innocent victim.
Instead, he is the perpetrator, and all this is his own fault.
He dared to do such a disgusting thing, he deserved to be beaten.
"Comrade He Yuzhu, regarding the content of your report to the police, our police have investigated and found that the facts are completely inconsistent with what you said."
"The residents of No. 95 Courtyard did not verbally mock you in an excessive manner. It was you who was taking revenge on everyone out of revenge."
Hearing this, Sha Zhu was stunned. Shouldn’t it help him if he called the police?
"Police comrade, are you mistaken? I am in this state now, how can it be my fault? Besides, didn't they blame me?"
Xie Yong nodded: "Yes, they did say you, but we investigated and they said your words were not excessive. On the contrary, your revengeful behavior was completely excessive."
Sha Zhu still wanted to make excuses and pretend to be pitiful to get a change in the penalty.
But Xie Yong decided directly: "Okay, you don't need to explain anymore. We have investigated your behavior clearly."
"You saved the bastard, which was a good thing. You bravely went down into the manure pit to save the child. The police station and the street office should strongly encourage this kind of behavior."
"But because of your act of revenge, the police station and the subdistrict office will not give you any reward."
Xie Yong briefly talked about Sha Zhu's behavior.
Next comes the key point, which is the punishment for Sha Zhu.
"The following is about your punishment. Please remember that since you are seriously injured and need to be treated in the hospital, the police station will not punish you for the time being."
"You can rest assured and recover in the hospital now, but your punishment will not be put on hold. I will punish you after you recover and based on your specific situation."
The police station made this decision after careful consideration. Given Sha Zhu's current miserable condition, it would be better not to arrest him if he was sent to prison where there would be people to take care of him. He couldn't run away anyway.
Moreover, the police station did not really let Sha Zhu go, but only temporarily shelved the punishment. This shelving was well used and did not mean that there would be no pursuit.
Once Sha Zhu recovers and commits another crime, they will have reason to arrest him, which would be adding insult to injury.
The police station couldn't help but feel complacent about their punishment and came up with a good idea.
The main reason is that the harm caused by this case is not great. It only happened in one yard and has not affected other yards.
Xie Yong concluded: "This is the punishment the police station has imposed on you. Do you have anything else to say?"
Sha Zhu was silent. What else could he say? He had expected the police to arrest the people in the yard, but he didn't expect that he would get into big trouble.
"Since you have no objection, here is the punishment document for you, please sign it."
Xie Yong took out a document, and then took out red clay for Sha Zhu to stamp.
They also took into consideration Sha Zhu's current situation and the fact that he was unable to sign, so they used a stamp instead.
With the help of Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu reluctantly stamped the seal.
"Okay, Comrade He Yuzhu, just rest and recover. I still need to go to your yard and talk to them about your punishment."
After saying that, Xie Yong left the ward and went to the courtyard.
When everyone in the courtyard heard the punishment, although they were very dissatisfied and did not send Sha Zhu to prison, they had no choice but to accept it.
Anyway, Sha Zhu was beaten so badly that he won’t be able to come back in a short time. Everyone was happy not to see Sha Zhu so as to avoid the annoyance of seeing him.
When the deaf old lady in the backyard heard about the punishment and looked at how excited everyone was, she decided not to speak up for Sha Zhu and get into trouble.
She is now in a difficult situation - she can't even save herself.
If she said a few more words and made everyone unhappy, her advanced age would be of no use.
"No, it can't be like this."
A trace of unwillingness flashed across the deaf old lady's cloudy eyes.
"I have lived for decades, how can I be treated like this at the end of my life?"
