Chapter 38 Tang Huai Pleads for Them
"It's also against the law to blackmail people." Jing Peng looked at the village head, "Father, I heard from my elder brother that blackmailing people is the same as defrauding."
Brother...?
Tang Huai blinked, and when Jing Peng mentioned "big brother", she couldn't help but think of Jing Xuan.
I haven't seen him these days, she knew he had returned to the camp without asking...
Tang Huai's eyes darkened for a moment. This time, when he returned to the camp, he didn't know when he would be able to come back——
Hearing what Jing Peng said, Tang Youqian's heart shrank slightly.
Is it illegal too? How could he not know?
If someone else said it, he would definitely not believe it, but what Jing Xuan said... he dare not believe it.
"Brother Jing, I'm just talking about it, and I haven't succeeded yet." Tang Youqian walked up to the village chief and said with a playful smile, "Oh, it's because Tang Huai is so disrespectful, that's why I want to teach her like this."
"Yes, yes, I humbly asked her to borrow money. Not only did she refuse to borrow money, but she also said that it would be best if I, Zhidong, would not be able to find a wife in my life. I was just so angry." Su Linfang also stepped forward. Come on, looking at the village chief flatteringly, "Brother Jing, we didn't steal or cheat, we were all trying to frighten Tang Huai."
Tang Huai looked at these two people speechlessly, his skin was really thicker than the bark of a tree.
After listening to Tang Youqian, he clenched his fists tightly. Tang Huai, a lowly girl, dared to curse his son that he would never get a wife in his life, and she would definitely feel better later!
"Don't deny it, follow me to the Public Security Bureau." The village chief said seriously.
"..." Tang Peijun moved his lips, hesitant to speak.
Of course he didn't want Tang Youqian and Su Linfang to go to jail, but what they did was too much, and he felt ashamed to plead for them.
"Come on, Brother Jing, we didn't commit a crime." Tang Youqian panicked.
The village head said indifferently: "Let's leave it to the Public Security Bureau to decide whether to commit a crime or not."
"Don't!" Tang Youqian tugged at the village chief's arm and begged, "I'll be finished if I hand it over to the Public Security Bureau. It's not fair to send me to the Public Security Bureau if I didn't get anything! Brother Jing, you My lord has a lot, so don't embarrass me, okay?"
Su Linfang also looked at the village chief nervously. She didn't want to go to prison. Her son could marry a wife when he grew up. Not only would he not be able to enjoy his son's blessings, but he would also embarrass his son. The girl he likes What should I do if I don't follow him anymore?
"Brother Jing, I kneel down for you, please don't send us to prison, if we go in, our life will be over." Su Linfang knelt down for the village chief with a plop, and even squeezed out tears. Crying is indescribably ugly.
"If everyone has committed a crime and knelt down and begged for forgiveness, what do we need the law for?" The village chief said with a sullen expression, showing no intention of backing down.
"Hongzhang, for my sake, let's forget about it? I'll definitely teach them a lesson later." Tang Peijun frowned slightly, looking at the village chief.
When Tang Peijun was the captain of the production team, he took good care of the village head and appreciated his ability.
He hoped that the village head would see him as an elder and be able to calm down.
"Uncle Tang, this is not a matter of losing face. It is a serious crime for them to steal money!"
Tang Peijun was very helpless, "This...haven't they stolen the money?"
"Don't look at the result, just look at the behavior!" The village chief said sternly, and then said to Jingpeng: "Jingpeng, take them to the county seat."
Tang Youqian and Su Linfang panicked when they heard this.
Su Linfang cried: "Don't go to the county seat, brother Jing, please spare us! I can't go to jail, if I go to jail, I will lose my reputation. If Amei knew, she would definitely not marry Zhidong."
Tang Huai's expression was indifferent, and he felt contempt in his heart. Now that he knows that reputation is important, why did he go so early?
Tang Huai pursed her lips, and suppressed the sharpness in her eyes.
She looked at the village chief resentfully, and said softly, "Jing Bo, I won't sue Er Bo, can I let them go?"
Upon hearing Tang Huai's words, Su Linfang's crying stopped abruptly.
The village chief looked at Tang Huai in surprise, "You won't sue?"
They all bullied her like this, and she still wants to let them go?
Tang Huai looked sad and pitiful, and said helplessly: "The second uncle's family is also in trouble. In fact, my family has not lost anything. If this matter can be resolved, then it can be resolved. I will replace it." Second Uncle and Second Auntie interceded, is that okay?"
It's not that Tang Huai doesn't want Tang Youqian and Su Linfang to be taught a lesson, but that the time has not yet come.
She is not strong enough yet, if Tang Youqian and Su Linfang go to the police station, they will bully her family after they come back.
There is also their eldest son Tang Zhidong, a character who exists like a punk. If his parents were detained, he must think it was her fault and take revenge on her.
In September, she will go to the county to go to school, she is not afraid, but what about Liu Xiaoyu and her younger sister at home?
Tang Zhidong is the kind of person who would rather die together than make you feel better. Tang Huai doesn't want to provoke such a person. She can't lend money to Su Linfang to help him find a wife, but she can "beg for mercy" for Su Linfang ", in this way, everyone will think that she is reasonable and considerate, and Tang Zhidong will not follow her.
Moreover, if she can become a sensible and well-behaved child in the eyes of the whole village like Tang Ying, if Peng Jiayao and a few aunts bully her grandmother in the future, the villagers will complain about them. Maybe they dare not go too far for the sake of face , so that mother and sister will live better.
That's why she "pleaded" for Tang Youqian and Su Linfang in front of the village chief.
Hearing Tang Huai's words, Su Linfang nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, my family is in trouble, Tang Huai, you haven't lost anything, let Brother Jing let us go."
Tang Huai looked at the village chief resentfully, "Jing Bo, I can pretend that this incident never happened. You see, my second uncle's hand was injured, and he couldn't sleep last night, so let him go back to sleep." If you send him to the police station, but you don’t get the clinic to change the dressing and clean the wound, if he gets infected, gets serious, or loses his hands, then the responsibility will be heavier.”
The wound has been healed, so of course it won't be infected. Tang Huai deliberately made the problem serious. Even if the village chief let Tang Youqian go, the villagers would think it was right.
If something happened to Tang Youqian's wound, wouldn't the village chief bear all the responsibility?
The villagers are not the village head who bears the responsibility of being taken for a ride.
The village head dealt with it impartially, and was indifferent to Tang Huai's "pleading".
Jing Peng, who was standing beside him, said, "Abba, if Tang Huai doesn't sue or pursue it, let's forget about it. Tang Huai didn't lose any money, at most it was an attempted theft. To be precise, this is their family business. They It’s fine if you can handle it privately.”
They don't have to care so much, it's not good to have a grudge.
Moreover, Tang Youqian was an attempted theft, and at most he would make a statement when he was sent to the Public Security Bureau, accept some ideological work, and he would be released tomorrow.
"Forget it." After careful consideration, the village head said to Tang Youqian sternly: "Since Tang Huai didn't sue you for your first crime, I will let you and your wife go. ! You don’t take me seriously as the village chief!”
