Chapter 68 I'm afraid it's a scam
Wang Hong obviously knew that she had done something wrong and basically kept her head down at home.
Breakfast was simple. There were some leftover buns that Wang Qiuxia had made yesterday, which she steamed, and some fresh corn that Wang Hong had picked from the fields that morning.
As soon as Jiang Xiaohe saw the fresh corn, she knew that this family really couldn't make ends meet, otherwise they wouldn't eat the fresh corn from the field...
Although the elderly in the family felt sad because of Wang Hong's trouble, they were also happy about the arrival of their daughter and son-in-law.
"Why didn't you bring my little great-grandson?"
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and replied, "Grandma, he's too young. We left late last night and were afraid he would cry all the way, so we left him at his second grandfather and second grandmother's house."
Bai Yulan nodded: "That's good, so as not to disturb his sleep. Little baby, only if you sleep well, you will grow taller in the future."
Everyone at the table smiled.
Wang Dayi and Chen Xiuquan just curled their lips. After all, the stone pressing on them had not been removed yet, so how could they laugh?
After breakfast, Jiang Xiaohe started talking.
"Uncle, aunt, let's take Wang Hong to town."
When the two saw that they were really going to solve the problem, they became more motivated: "Okay, okay."
Chen Xiuquan hurried to the backyard to find Wang Hong.
When he came out, there was still mud on his body and feet, and it was obvious that he had just gone to the backyard to do farm work.
He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a dark face that looked very similar to Wang Dayi, and his clothes were patched from the shoulders to the trouser legs.
Wang Xiaoya quickly came up and said, "Mom, I want to go too."
Chen Xiuqun disagreed: "Dad and Mom are going to deal with my brother's affairs, why are you following them?"
Wang Xiaoya is still young, only about seven or eight years old. She is pale and thin, and the clothes she wears have so many patches on them that it is unbearable to look at. Fortunately, her clothes are washed clean, and her hair is neatly braided into two pigtails, tied at the bottom with a piece of rag.
She took Wang Hong's hand, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was filled with sobs: "Xiao Ya is afraid that if she doesn't go with you, she will never see her brother again."
After she said this, Chen Xiuquan couldn't hold back her tears.
Wang Qiuxia was so moved that her eyes turned red.
Chen Xiuquan was speechless. Wang Dayi wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. He couldn't make a promise because they couldn't come up with so much silver.
Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but sigh, took a step forward, and touched her head: "My dear, if you follow me, what will happen to grandpa and grandma?"
"But...."
"Don't worry, my cousin's wife will definitely bring my brother back."
Wang Xiaoya raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiaohe, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and asked seriously, "Really?"
Jiang Xiaohe also nodded seriously: "Really, but you have to take good care of grandpa and grandma at home."
Wang Xiaoya looked up at her brother, and saw that Wang Hong also felt sorry for her and squeezed her hand. She then looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "Okay, then Xiaoya will stay at home to take care of grandpa and grandma."
As she spoke, she let go of Wang Hong's hand, ran back and held Bai Yulan's hand.
Bai Yulan's eyes were filled with tears. Wang Fusheng beside her said, "Go ahead. No matter what, this matter should be resolved."
Wang Hong couldn't help but turn around, kneeling down and kowtowed three times to the two elders. He was afraid that he would be reported to the government and would not be able to come back: "Grandpa and grandma, take care of yourselves."
After saying that, he followed Jiang Xiaohe and the others onto the ox cart.
On the ox cart, Jiang Xiaohe asked him what happened.
Wang Hong then started talking.
More than half a month ago, he and the villagers went to the town to carry sacks and earned some money. The boss paid them the bill that day, and they thought, why not buy some wine to drink? After all, they had worked for several days and were very tired every day. Today was the day they got off work and got paid, so it was a rare opportunity to relax.
Everyone agreed with this idea, so they each took out a few cents and went to the tavern to buy a small jar of cheap wine and a plate of peanuts.
A few people found a secluded place, sat on the ground, and started drinking. The wine they bought that day was cheap, but it was very addictive. After a few sips, they felt dizzy. They were all similar, from the same village, eating and drinking while chatting. Who would have thought that another person would mention his sister intentionally or unintentionally, and finally used an excuse to ridicule him and his family, which annoyed him. He remembered that he argued with him for a few words, and maybe because of the alcohol, he hit the man...
Jiang Xiaohe frowned slightly after hearing this: "Did you feel like you were drunk at that time?"
Wang Hong lowered his head and nodded, feeling very guilty.
Jiang Xiaohe's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"If you were drunk, how could you beat him so badly?" This man was really drunk and had trouble walking, so how could he have the energy to hit someone?
Everyone in the car looked at Jiang Xiaohe, then at Wang Hong. Wang Hong murmured in a low voice: "I don't even remember what happened when he got drunk."
Chen Xiuqun didn't care about what he said, but asked anxiously: "Nephew's wife, what do you mean by this?"
What do you mean?
Jiang Xiaohe naturally thought that the man was committing fraud!
"Are you sure you beat him up? And beat him up so badly?"
Wang Hong tried to recall it and shook her head slightly: "I was a little confused at the time, so I don't remember it clearly. But after I woke up, they said I beat him up like that."
"them?"
Wang Hong nodded: "We all work together."
Jiang Xiaohe had an idea in mind, and said, "Uncle and aunt, when we go to the clinic later, you will have to follow my instructions. I think someone might be deliberately blackmailing us."
Chen Xiuqun and Wang Dayi looked at each other: "This..."
Wang Qiuxia said, "Brother, sister-in-law, just listen to Xiaohe. Xiaohe has her own opinion. If she thinks there is a problem, there must be a problem."
The two nodded.
Jiang Xiaohe looked at Wang Hong again and said, "And you, Hongwa, if this matter is finally reported to the government, don't be afraid. Just tell me everything you told me, word for word."
Wang Hong looked up at Jiang Xiaohe and nodded slightly, but she couldn't help asking, "Cousin, do we still need to take this to the government office?"
"That depends on what this group of people say. Moreover, they are asking for a huge sum of money, thirty taels at the first ask. If they don't sue us, we will go to the government office to sue them..."
