Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill
Chapter 143 Useless Waste
The police slammed the table and stood up: "You dare to quibble! You changed Jia Banggeng's quota to Su Chen, is this true?"
Qin Huairu realized that it was because of this old incident. She immediately denied it: "Police comrade, please don't wrongly accuse a good person, I really didn't do such a thing."
Then, Qin Huairu pretended to be pitiful and said, "I am a widow and my son are the only ones in my family. How could I have the ability to change the quota without permission?"
Qin Huairu acted pitiful, but the police didn't buy into this kind of drama. "Just tell the truth. If you confess voluntarily, we can try to get leniency. Otherwise, we will take further measures."
However, Qin Huairu was already used to this and would never be shaken by intimidation or inducement. Even when the police said it was extremely serious, she insisted: "I really didn't do it, please believe me."
Qin Huairu was determined not to confess even if she died. The incident had been settled for so many years, and the police had no substantial evidence. As long as she insisted on not giving up, she would be safe... In addition, she was sure that neither Sha Zhu nor Yi Zhonghai would betray her.
However, Qin Huairu's passive resistance made the police very distressed. They thought that this lady would be easy to crack and would soon admit her mistakes, but they did not expect that her skills in playing dumb were so superb. No matter how they questioned her, she always insisted on her innocence.
But the police had already investigated and confirmed that Qin Huairu was indeed involved. Now all they needed was her confession. However, since this person refused to compromise during the interrogation, the police decided to turn to Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.
When Sha Zhu was taken away for questioning, he was also confused and didn't understand why he was implicated. Although he had smuggled some food into the factory, it was not a criminal violation and was only criticized at most.
Because of this, he seemed quite relaxed during the interrogation and did not care about the police's questions.
After providing the necessary personal information, he faced the police aggressively: "Tell me quickly, how can you prove that we changed Su Chen's quota?"
Sha Zhu was originally full of doubts, not knowing why the police took him away, but when he heard what the police said, he immediately understood the reason. It turned out that the old things of the past were now exposed. Although Sha Zhu seemed careless on the surface, he knew the seriousness of the matter in his heart and would never confess such a thing.
So he quickly pretended to be crazy and shook his head, saying, "Comrade police, you can't say that. How dare I do anything illegal?"
At first, he only changed the number of names at Qin Huairu's request, but to this day, he would never admit it. If he admitted it, Qin Huairu would be detained by the police, and he himself would also be imprisoned.
Even though he felt that Qin Huairu was no longer as gentle to him as before, he still didn't want to see her go to jail. So he had already made up his mind not to speak.
Faced with Sha Zhu's behavior, the police questioned him more harshly: "You know exactly what you did. You changed Jia Banggeng's name to Su Chen's. You need to explain this clearly."
Sha Zhu naturally couldn't admit it, and spread his hands and said, "Comrade police, how can you just accuse someone? I don't know the whole story at all. If you go to the courtyard to ask, you will know that this is an old story from more than ten years ago. I have long forgotten the specific circumstances at that time, and it has nothing to do with me."
When facing the police interrogation, Sha Zhu's cleverness seemed to return a little. This act of pretending to be confused also made it impossible for the police to do anything with him.
After all, more than a decade had passed, and if no direct participant admitted it, the police would not be able to find strong evidence. Sha Zhu refused to admit it, and the police there began to summon Yi Zhonghai for questioning.
Yi Zhonghai is old and blind, so the police are naturally more lenient towards him.
But even though Yi Zhonghai seemed very innocent and helpless, he knew everything in his heart. So when the police asked him questions, he chose to play dumb.
The police could still use some threats against Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu, who had a tough attitude, but these tactics had no effect at all on Yi Zhonghai.
Considering that if such an old person had an accident in the police station, the responsibility would still fall on the police. Therefore, they had no choice but to let Yi Zhonghai pretend to be confused.
At the same time, the people in the courtyard all denied the facts, but Fan Jinyou on the other side had a completely different attitude.
Fan Jinyou was a weak character. When threatened by the police, he became nervous and scared, so he told everything out loud.
This incident can be said to be an important starting point for his prosperity. If it were not for the money given by Sha Zhu and others to change his quota, he would not have thought that he could start his own business in the future. Because of this, Fan Jinyou always remembered this experience.
After careful questioning, the police finally found a breakthrough in Fan Jinyou, found out the specific details of the case, and immediately escorted all the relevant persons to the court for processing.
Since this incident happened more than ten years ago and the victim Su Chen was not seriously injured, the court decided to sentence these people to several months of labor reform after the trial.
After Sha Zhu and others were detained, Yi Zhonghai was released because he was old and blind. After being sent home by the police, Yi Zhonghai opened his blind eyes and trembled as he returned to the courtyard. Thinking of Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu being taken away by the police, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh.
After finally finding someone to rely on, Shazhu was arrested. Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard and began to call for Banggeng.
"Bang Geng, where are you?" "Bang Geng, where have you been?"
He shouted for a long time, but no one responded. Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to give up and continued to shout.
Finally, after he had been shouting for a long time, Jia Zhang in the room got up from the bed, dragged her shoes and walked out slowly, with impatience on her face.
Jia Zhang said, "Stop shouting, my grandson is not here." Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was stunned.
How could the stick that Yi Zhonghai had promised to take good care of disappear? Yi Zhonghai couldn't believe it.
Jia Zhang disdained to pay attention to the blind old man. She moved a chair outside and continued to do needlework in the daylight.
Poor Yi Zhonghai, he walked all the way from the police station to here without drinking a sip of water or eating a meal, and his stomach was rumbling. But Jia Zhang didn't care about his situation at all, she just lowered her head and concentrated on making her own soles.
Yi Zhonghai stood at the door of the house with a hungry stomach, unable to go in or out. He had lost his eyesight, and if no one prepared food for him, he would not be able to eat anything.
He groped his way into the house and felt around on the table, but found that he could not find anything. The few steamed buns that were left for him were gone.
Yi Zhonghai murmured to himself: "I'm hungry, why don't I even have food?"
Jia Zhang was close and heard everything clearly, but she pretended not to hear. Yi Zhonghai used to be somewhat useful, but now that he was blind, he was nothing more than a useless person to her.
Not only could he not earn a penny, he could only cry out when hungry. Such a person was of no value to the Jia family. Jia Zhangshi did not consider the harm caused by Banggeng to Yi Zhonghai at all, thinking that he was just a useless person who would only consume food if he stayed at home.
Yi Zhonghai called out several times but got no response. Feeling very sad, he walked out and sat at the door of Jia's house crying.
"I am so old and still have no food to eat. You want me to starve to death here? It's so unfair. Why did you take Shazhu away?"
Thinking of how Sha Zhu once promised to take care of him in his old age, Yi Zhonghai felt that he would not be in this situation today if Sha Zhu had not been arrested.
Thinking of this, the pain in his heart deepened, and his pretend crying turned into real wails.
However, Jia Zhang was not willing to cook for him at all. At present, the family had no income, and one less person to eat would save more money for her precious grandson.
So Yi Zhonghai was crying here, while Jia Zhangshi on the other side turned a deaf ear.
It was not until the second uncle came over from the front yard and heard the noise that he saw Yi Zhonghai sitting at the door crying.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai in such a miserable state, the second uncle couldn't bear it, so he walked up and said, "Uncle, come to my house and have something to eat."
Yi Zhonghai's empty eyes turned towards the second uncle.
At this moment, his hungry stomach growled, and the sadness he had originally felt was replaced by embarrassment.
He nodded slightly and struggled to stand up.
The second uncle hurried forward and helped him up, and the two of them slowly moved towards the second uncle's residence.
After arriving at the second uncle's house, he asked Yi Zhonghai to sit down at the table and prepared a bowl of meal filled with rich dishes for him.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai in such a state, he added a few more dishes to his bowl and said to him, "Eat something. You look so hungry."
Handing over a spoon and placing the bowl in Yi Zhonghai's hand, the second uncle carefully guided him to eat. After feeling the heavy weight of the food, Yi Zhonghai began to enjoy the rare delicacies these days with tears in his eyes.
Yi Zhonghai, who had not had a proper hot meal for a long time, could get some leftovers from the Jia family when only Sha Zhu was still there, but such a sumptuous meal seemed to be something he had only experienced in his previous life.
After a while, he finished all the food in the bowl.
Seeing that he was eating so eagerly, the second uncle didn't dare to say anything to remind him to chew slowly, so he could only watch silently.
After eating, Yi Zhonghai was reluctant to leave but didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up in the dark and said with some embarrassment: "Thank you for your hospitality today, I should go home."
The second uncle knew that he couldn't keep you, so he nodded to show his understanding and said, "I'll take you home."
Soon, Yi Zhonghai was sent back to the Jia family, but Jia Zhang still chose to ignore him.
The second uncle witnessed all this and left with his head down helplessly. After all, it was someone else's family matter. Sitting at the dining table, Yi Zhonghai felt the sadness again.
