Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 158: Beautiful Dream Shattered

"Hahaha, Huairu, you're a good reminder. Last time, Shazhu paid eight hundred yuan for just punching him. This time, my arm was broken, so I have to get at least three thousand yuan. Also, you'd better compensate me with his yard, otherwise he will spend the rest of his life in jail." Jia Zhang said proudly.

Although Qin Huairu was surprised to hear what Jia Zhang said, she was extremely happy in her heart. If they could really get 3,000 yuan, their family would be able to live a luxurious life in the future. Moreover, the family would no longer have to live together and could even have two live-in sons-in-law.

"Mom, isn't it a bit too much? Does his family have that much money?" Qin Huairu said.

"Hmph, go and borrow money if you don't have it! He has no money, but Sha Zhu has! Yi Zhonghai compensated him a lot of money! That little beast is Sha Zhu's master, he will definitely be able to borrow it. It's a good thing that his arm is broken." Jia Zhang said.

"Grandma, I want to eat meat." Banggeng said suddenly.

"Okay, when I get the money, grandma will buy you meat every day. Three thousand yuan! How many chickens and how many pounds of meat can I buy?" Jia Zhang said expectantly.

"Really? Grandma, I haven't eaten meat for a long time." Banggeng said excitedly, "I want firecrackers and soda too!"

"Okay, buy them all, buy them all..." Jia Zhang said happily.

Just as the three were looking forward to the future, a police officer from the police station entered the ward. "Ms. Jia Zhang, are you awake?" the officer said. "It's just right that we are taking a statement. Please tell us about the situation at that time."

"Hey, comrade, you are finally here. Did that little beast confess?" asked Jia Zhang.

"Well, he admitted that he hit you. He had no choice but to admit it since so many people saw it," said the police officer.

"Okay, just admit it. This time I will never let him go." Jia Zhang said happily.

Hearing what Jia Zhang said, the police officer complained in his heart, "You're still trying to deal with others! I'm afraid you're going to go to jail yourself. You really don't know what's good for you. You dare to mess with someone you shouldn't mess with."

Thinking about it, the police officer said, "Tell me the details of what happened and I will take notes. But I remind you that you must not tell any lies, otherwise the consequences will be serious."

"Okay, go ahead and ask. He was the one who beat someone up, so why would I lie?" said Jia Zhang.

So, Jia Zhang really told everything she knew.

After taking Jia Zhang's statement, the police officer asked Bang Geng, "Jia Geng, tell me, did you steal the bottle?"

"No, I picked it up from the sink," said Banggeng.

"First of all, the bottle in the sink was definitely not thrown by someone else. Also, why didn't you return the bottle to the little girl when she asked you for it?" the police officer asked.

"I picked it up, why should I give it to her?" Bang Geng said unconvinced.

"Okay, then why are you pushing people if you don't give it to me?"

"If she grabs my bottle, I will definitely push her." said Bang Geng.

……

In this way, the two of them asked and answered each other, and soon finished the record. However, Qin Huairu, who was standing next to them, heard something. Why did he keep saying that his son was the one who snatched it and pushed it?

So she asked, "Comrade, why am I confused by your question? The bottle was picked up by my family, Banggeng. How can you say it was stolen?"

"Haha, comrade, have you ever told me which family would throw away a wine bottle? Who wouldn't sell the wine or exchange it for something else after drinking it? Your son clearly knew that the bottle belonged to someone else, but he didn't return it to the owner. Isn't this robbery?" said the police officer.

"This...but then he can't hit my son, right?"

"Okay, we have understood what happened this time. You were the first ones to grab the bottle and start fighting, and your mother-in-law hit the child first, so you deserved to be beaten. And until your mother-in-law is almost well, she needs to come to our station to study for a few days." said the police officer.

Hearing the police officer's words, Qin Huairu became anxious. The promised money and house were gone, so she was anxious. So she shouted, "Comrade, this is not right, right? How can it be all our fault? Look at my mother-in-law, she broke an arm, how could she..."

"Okay, let's talk about it after you leave the hospital and come to the police station. I can't talk about anything else here. That's it. I'm going back." said the police officer.

"Then, what about my mother-in-law's medical expenses? The nurse has asked for it several times?" Qin Huairu asked anxiously.

"You have to solve this problem by yourselves. After all, you were the first to start it. That's all I can say. Let me remind you that you from the Jia family should avoid causing trouble in the future, especially the Li family. You can't afford to mess with them." The police officer reminded and then left the ward directly.

"This..." Qin Huairu said in confusion.

"Huai Ru, what does that mean? What does he mean? Why does it sound wrong to me?" Jia Zhang was also confused.

"Mom, I heard him say that Xiao Li and the others are fine, but we are the ones in trouble. Didn't you hear that? He said that he wants you to go to the institute to study for a few days after you get better!"

"You want me to study? What does that mean? What to study?" Jia Zhang said in confusion.

"I just want to lock you up for a few days." Qin Huairu explained.

"What? You want to lock me up?" Jia Zhang sat up excitedly.

"Oh, my hand."

"This bunch of damn people is so unfair, so unfair. Hey, Dongxu! Come down and take a look. These people are bullying us, an orphan and a widow!" Jia Dongxu shouted.

After shouting for a while, Jia Zhang realized that there were no spectators, so she stopped and said, "Where's the money? Where's my three thousand yuan?"

"Mom, they said you have to pay for the medical expenses yourself!" Qin Huairu said helplessly.

When she heard that she had to pay for it herself, Jia Zhang became anxious, "No, is there any justice in the world? Go to the police station, go to the police station and make a scene. They must have accepted bribes from the Li family, they must have, go and make a scene." Jia Zhang shouted.

"Well... okay, I'll go ask Chief Zhang what's going on. When I went to call the police at noon, he said that Xiao Li was lawless. How come he changed so quickly?" Qin Huairu agreed.

"Go, go quickly!" Jia Zhang said excitedly.

……

On the other side, in the courtyard, just as everyone was discussing how much blood the Li family would shed, Li Kangri and his two companions walked in. Everyone was stunned, especially Yan Fugui, who had forgotten that he was not on good terms with the Li family. He walked up to them and asked, "Little Li, why are you back?"

"I say Yan Fugui, what are you saying? This is my home. Where else can I go if I don't come back?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I mean, are you okay?" Yan Fugui asked.

"What's wrong with me? It was the Jia family who stole my sister's things. They deserved to be beaten. They are the ones who are in trouble. Okay, I don't want to talk to you."

Having said that, Li Kangri went straight home amid everyone's surprised gazes.
