"Xinxin went to the teacher's house for math tutoring. Maybe it's because girls are not smart and are partial to subjects."
Wang Liqing smiled honestly, as if he was afraid that Shen Dapeng would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
"Ting'er went to her grandma's house to celebrate the New Year. After all, her surname is Li, and she is her granddaughter. We can't let the old man be estranged from her granddaughter!"
Shen Dongmei was not saying what she meant, but her face did turn a little pale, and she was obviously feeling very uncomfortable.
"We'll talk about this later during dinner. Dongmei, didn't you tell Hai Bo that Dapeng and the others were back?"
Grandma came from the kitchen and wiped the oil stains on her hands with the apron she wore on her chest.
"No, I'll call him and turn off the phone."
Shen Dongmei didn't care either, sitting on the kang and eating melon seeds.
"It's strange, your eldest sister also said that Haibo's phone was turned off."
He raised his head and looked at his watch. It was already past five o'clock, and it was already completely dark outside. If it were normal, Shen Haibo would have come back for dinner with a bottle of wine.
Just when everyone was wondering, the phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, what is it? Is the injury serious? Okay, ok, comrade policeman, he is not smart. Don't be as smart as him. We will go over right now."
Grandma's face was full of anxiety, and her palms were shaking uncontrollably. She hung up the phone and looked at Shen Haitao immediately, but hesitated to speak.
Then he looked at Shen Dongmei, "Your brother got into a fight with someone and was arrested by the police station. Let your family go there."
Grandma's voice was shaking constantly. On the phone, Hai Bo could be heard yelling at someone, and the other person seemed to be saying harsh words about how much blood had been shed.
"Mom, don't worry, wait at home, let's go see what's going on first. It's just a fight, nothing serious."
Shen Haitao was afraid that his old mother would not be able to bear the torture and get angry, which would affect her health.
"snort!"
But the old man snorted coldly, didn't even take off his apron, put on his cotton-padded clothes, and walked out. His aunt, uncle, and aunt hurriedly followed him, surrounding the old mother.
"Dad, that time before...this time..."
As soon as Shen Dapeng opened his mouth, Father Shen hurriedly chased after her. Shen Dapeng's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he turned to Liu Fengyun, "Mom, don't bother with me, just look after the house."
The family hurried to the police station. As soon as they entered, they saw more than a dozen people gathered in the corridor. In the middle was an unknown man with a big belly, a shiny head and a hair wrapped around his arms.
A man was squatting opposite the thick gauze, with blood scabs on his head, face, and body.
"Hai Bo, are you okay, Hai Bo..."
Tears suddenly welled up in the grandma's eyes, and she rushed over with a howl. Her rickety body knelt on the ground, holding the man's head covered in blood, and carefully looked around.
Shen Haitao was stunned, and Shen Dapeng was also shocked and opened his mouth wide. Apparently, neither of them recognized that the unkempt, blood-stained man in front of them turned out to be Shen Haibo.
Shen Dapeng secretly sighed. It seems that his uncle has not lived a very good life these years. The vicissitudes of his face no longer have the self-righteousness of his youth. What is left are only the wrinkles left by the years, which are obviously worse than the years.
My father is seven or eight years younger, but he looks older than him.
"What's going on? Why did the fight start?"
Shen Haitao asked the people around the corridor, but no one responded. They all looked at the Shen family members coldly. It was obvious that these people were the uncle's group against the man.
"You are Shen Haibo's family, right? You're here just in time, let's see how this matter is handled? Is it a public matter or a private matter?"
A young policeman came out of the bathroom, still pulling on his crotch chain in an angry manner, and his attitude towards the Shen family members was full of contempt and disdain.
"How can we make decisions if we don't even know what happened?"
Shen Haitao's eyes were cold. He was also from the public security system, so he could recognize at a glance that this person was just a junior police officer. If such a ruffian was under his control, he would definitely not get any good results.
"What happened? Your Shen Haibo hit someone with a shovel and opened a wound of more than ten centimeters on his arm. This is a serious injury. I will give you a chance to keep it private. Since you are all fellows from Pingshui Town, no
If you need to make the matter bigger, it's better for you. What kind of tone are you talking to me? Do you believe that I will lock him up now?"
"It's not like I beat people for no reason. It's Li Tie who doesn't pay attention to things. As the boss of a contracting team, he yelled at us one by one while we were working, but he didn't give us wages after we finished the work. I asked for it several times, but he didn't pay me.
If he doesn’t give it to me, this time I’ll go to him to ask for money and even curse him.”
Shen Haibo stood up abruptly. His face and body were covered with blood scabs, and he no longer looked human. He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, which was a bit scary.
"Squat down for me, why are you yelling so hard?"
The little policeman's voice was more than twice as loud as Shen Haibo's. He took out a rubber baton from his waist and threatened Shen Haibo to squat down, "Is it illegal for Boss Li to curse someone? Didn't you make the first move? That's why we're in this situation now.
What's the point? I've called your family and I've already given you enough face. Don't be ignorant. It's Chinese New Year and no one is here to waste time with you. Decide quickly whether you want to be an official or a private person. I still want to
Let’s go home and eat dumplings.”
"Yes, it's not against the law for me to curse, but it is against the law for you to hit me first. Hai Bo, don't say I'm not polite. If you want to have a private life, the wages will be offset. I'll take the person away immediately. If it doesn't work, we'll get an official.
You've already been in jail, you might as well go in for another two years!"
Li Tie's few words were very convincing, and it didn't look like he was seriously injured by a shovel. When he was most excited, he could even move his arms a few times.
"I don't want to reconcile. You've owed me wages for half a year. How come it's only natural that you owe me money? You also said that I've been in jail, and I'm not afraid of going back to jail for a few more years. If you make me angry,
, I will destroy your whole family..."
Shen Haibo was unconvinced and yelled through gritted teeth, but everyone who knew him knew that these words were just said out of anger to scare people. After he was released from prison, he stayed away when he saw others killing chickens, so how could he have the courage to kill people?
?
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Li Tie added fuel to the fire, "Comrade police, you heard it, he was threatening and intimidating. He said he wanted to destroy my whole family. I am definitely not done with this."
"Shen Haibo, why don't you understand people's words? You don't want to give you face, right? Boss Li has already agreed to the settlement and doesn't want to send you to prison. Why don't you think of others?"
When the little policeman came out of the bathroom, everything he said was clearly biased towards the contractor. Anyone who wasn't a fool could see that, so maybe he wasn't to blame.
