Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 643 Chapter 642 It's dark, you can do whatever you want
"Brother, please spare Jiaming, okay? Jiaming is just a child, he doesn't understand. Don't bother with him. We will pay him back even if I sell everything I have!" Before Tang Zhitong could speak, Chu Chunxue begged with tears in her eyes.

"Aunt, please help Sister-in-law Liu up first." There were many people around, so Tang Zhitong dodged to the side, refusing to accept Chu Chunxue's kneeling, and turned to ask the residents to lend a hand.

Everyone nearby had heard about Chu Chunxue's pregnancy. Although she was not yet at the stage where her pregnancy was very noticeable, a pregnant woman kneeling down to plead for her child could easily arouse the sympathy of the people and encourage them to help the weak and the needy.

Someone came forward to support Chu Chunxue, but Chu Chunxue was still unwilling to get up and sat on the ground wiping her tears.

At this time Liu Chengzhi also came over to lend a hand, with a wonderful look on his face. He didn't want Chu Chunxue to embarrass him like this, but he also hoped that Tang Zhitong would not pursue the matter. However, he couldn't bring himself to say something soft and conciliatory, so not only did he not say anything, he also refused to promise to return the chicken.

"Sister-in-law, get up quickly, the ground is cold. Jiaming's fate has been decided since he stole a chicken. Just because I forgive him doesn't mean he won't have to go to the juvenile detention center. He will stay in there for a few years and wait for the court to hear the case. I don't have the final say." Although Liu Jiaming was wrong, Tang Zhitong could not treat a mother who was only trying to plead for her son the same way she treated Liu Zhicheng and Lu Dexian, so her attitude was quite gentle when she spoke.

As if to verify Tang Zhitong's words, Wang Yang chimed in, "Alright, stop crying. Go into the house and pack up the child. Bring the necessary clothes and quilts to prevent the child from getting cold. It's useless for you to ask Comrade Tang Zhitong for help. The judgment is up to the court."

Hearing that pleading was useless, Liu Chengzhi felt even more ashamed and slapped Chu Chunxue immediately: "It's such a disgrace, we won't beg him!"

After the slap, Chu Chunxue's hair was messed up. Some residents couldn't stand it and sneered:

“How impressive!”

"The nest is full of chaos!"

"WTF!"

"It's embarrassing for the master!"

……

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Chu Chunxue sobbed, covered her face, and went back to the room to tidy up her son's bedding.

Tang Zhitong shook his head secretly, Pan Jinlian's medicine, Yan Dongping's smile.

If a lesbian meets a man like Liu Chengzhi, Tang Zhitong would not be surprised whether she is given medicine or divorced.

Although Lu Dexian entered the house, he did not ignore the outside, but leaned against the window and listened attentively.

"If you can't help it, just go out." Lu Dexian's wife spoke up, but her tone was more sarcastic than persuasive.

Lu Dexian held back and did not get angry with his wife. He stamped his feet, sighed, and left the house again.

"Director Wang, Anzi, you see this happened. It's all my fault. I thought that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, so I was planning to persuade both sides, but I didn't expect that I couldn't suppress my anger." After all, Lu Dexian was worried about Liu Jiaming, so he forced a smile after coming out and apologized to Tang Zhitong.

"Oh, come on. Everyone is watching. I was trying to be nice to you just now, but neither of you two is a good person." Tang Zhitong heard that Lu Dexian's words seemed to imply that he was immature, so he started to ridicule him, saying, "What a damn neighbor! He should get as far away from him as possible."

As soon as Tang Zhitong opened his mouth, Lu Dexian was fine, but Liu Chengzhi blushed: "Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about?!"

"What's wrong with us? We are not real father and mother. Uncle Wu and I can still be called father and mother. Why are you feeling guilty? Why are you so anxious?" Tang Zhitong continued to tease Liu Chengzhi with a fake smile.

When the residents heard this, they burst into laughter. Everyone knew what was going on, but they just talked about it behind their backs. Who would have had a big fight in front of Lu Dexian and Liu Chengzhi?
"Chengzhi, say less!" Lu Dexian really wanted to go up and tear Tang Zhitong's mouth apart, but the most urgent thing at the moment was to get Liu Jiaming out. He didn't even bother to scold Tang Zhitong. Instead, he had to stop Liu Chengzhi to prevent him from getting excited and saying even more inappropriate words.

After that, Lu Dexian didn't care about the neighbors' ridicule, and shamelessly consulted Wang Yang: "Director Wang, do you think this matter, the Liu family's compensation case, can be dealt with leniently?"

"If you actively compensate and gain the victim's forgiveness, you will definitely be given a lighter sentence." Wang Yang gave an accurate reply. If he hadn't wanted to help Tang Zhitong reduce his losses, he would have not bothered to pay attention to the father and son. One was being too clever, and the other was simply brainless.

"Anzi, you see Jiaming is still a child, he is young and does not understand.

It's New Year's Day, and I'm here to tell you something on behalf of the Liu family. We will definitely compensate you with a fat chicken!
Look, can you please make some concessions and drop the case? Jiaming is still young, and if he goes to jail, his life will be over."

When Lu Dexian finished speaking, every word came from the bottom of his heart and was full of pleading.

"What do you mean? Going to the juvenile detention center is to receive education, how come that's the end of it? Also, do you think the police station is run by my family? You accuse the public security comrades in front of them of partiality? Is that what you mean?" Tang Zhitong did not intend to give the moral blackmailer another chance, and he used words to rebuke Lu Dexian right from the start.

"Don't say anything, I don't want to hear it!"

"When I was talking to you just now, what did you two do? One of you was obviously biased, and the other was a scoundrel!"

"I don't want to reason anymore. You are standing on the moral high ground to kidnap me. Logically, you are on the right side? Are you the poor ones and the victims?"

"I've given you a chance, but you're useless! Even if you say anything, I won't accept mediation! Let the court decide!"

Tang Zhitong did not give Lv Dexian another chance. He spoke like a machine gun and turned to explain his attitude to the residents: "Everyone has seen it. This time it's not that I am unreasonable. I am not his father, grandfather, or even his master. There is no reason to indulge such a person. Don't you think this makes sense?"

While the resident was nodding, Tang Zhitong said to Wang Yang, "Director Wang, I don't want to waste time talking to them now. I'll wait for you outside and go to the station to complete the formalities later."

In Tang Zhitong's opinion, there were flaws in tonight's law enforcement process, so he planned to go and complete the formalities. As for whether the Liu family would have any objections, he couldn't care less. There were no lawyers these days, so if they had any objections, they would have to wait until the court session.

Wang Yang nodded, then grabbed Lv Dexian who was about to chase Tang Zhitong out and said, "Okay, Lao Lu, the other person's parents didn't say anything, why are you getting involved?"

When the residents heard this, they were happy again.

Lu Dexian felt ashamed and thought he had completely lost face today.

"Okay, everyone, go home. It's very cold outside. Don't catch a cold." After saying this, Wang Yang did not let go. He waved and asked the residents to go back to their homes. There were so many people around, and some things were difficult to say.

The uniform on Wang Yang was still intimidating, and the residents quickly dispersed in twos and threes. "Old Lu, what you did was not fair. You didn't pay anything, and you just kept talking nonsense. How can this matter end? How can it be so good?

Only by paying compensation early can we win leniency. If you don't pay, there will be no leniency. You can decide for yourself how to do it.

Go back and think about it carefully. If you want to do something, hurry up. This child won't be kept in the police station for many days." Wang Yang said this before letting go of his hand and waving him away.

From a moral point of view, Wang Yang believes that he did nothing wrong. In any way, he has done the most he can by reminding Lu Dexian.

If the Liu family can compensate Tang Zhitong, everyone will be happy. If they don't compensate, he can't rob the Liu family. It's just that Liu Jiaming will stay in prison longer and suffer more.

The next thing was easy. Chu Chunxue led Liu Jiaming to the police station. Since Liu Jiaming was young, Wang Yang did not put handcuffs on him.

Tang Zhitong played the role of a good person and helped Chu Chunxue carry the packed bedding over.

Perhaps because of Chu Chunxue's company, Liu Jiaming's emotions were much more stable, but he still held Chu Chunxue's hand tightly.

Chu Chunxue was slapped several times by Liu Chengzhi tonight and was not in a good condition, but at the moment she could only serve as the child's spiritual pillar.

Tang Zhitong saw this and was not going to let Liu Chengzhi off. He didn't care whether Liu Jiaming could understand or not, so he said, "Jiaming, I finally understand. In your family, only your mother really loves you."

After hearing this, Liu Jiaming turned around and glared at Tang Zhitong. His eyes were filled with stubbornness, hatred, and humiliation. It was very complicated, but there was not a trace of regret, reflection, or apology.

Tang Zhitong didn't think of sending Liu Jiaming to jail at first. He thought that as long as the Liu family compensated for the chicken, the child would be strictly disciplined by the school and home. But seeing Liu Jiaming's attitude, Tang Zhitong gave up the idea of ​​reconciliation.

In that case, just wait for the normal procedure.

After arriving at the police station, Chu Chunxue accompanied her son in the detention room, while Tang Zhitong helped complete the formalities in the office.

"Chief Wang, thank you for your help." Everything was done smoothly, and Tang Zhitong thanked Wang Yang.

"You're welcome. Given the situation tonight, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it either." Wang Yang thought about everything that happened tonight. Was he really trying to fool a fool with three dollars in compensation?

"Alas, actually, I have endured it more than once..." Tang Zhitong told the story again about Liu Zhang's plot to take over his house. It would be great if this unstable factor could be completely resolved.

"Even a clay man has some temper! You are too soft-hearted." After hearing this, Wang Yang felt indignant for Tang Zhitong.

"Mr. Lu always says that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, so I thought that I could just endure it. But who knew that after bullying the old one, now the young one is bullying my family too. Hey, they really treat my family as a soft persimmon." After Tang Zhitong explained the whole story, he started to make fun of himself, trying to prove that he was not unkind in holding on to a child, but he just couldn't stand it anymore.

"Don't worry, they will get nothing good. It's getting late, you should go back early. I'll tell you when there's news." Wang Yang looked at his watch. It was almost ten o'clock and all the lights in the houses outside had been turned off.

Relatives were not allowed to stay in the detention room, so after sending Tang Zhitong out, Wang Yang went over to remind Chu Chunxue to go home quickly: "Don't forget to send food to the child tomorrow, we don't provide food here."

"Okay. Comrade, can you leave a light on for the child? I'm afraid he will be scared at night." Chu Chunxue saw Tang Zhitong walking out from inside, and wanted to go up and say a few soft words, but before leaving, she was still worried about her son, so she begged.

"Okay, don't turn off the lights tonight." Wang Yang sighed and waved his hand to send people away.

At this moment, Chu Chunxue didn't care about the baby in her belly, and she ran towards Tang Zhitong and said, "Brother, I will buy you a chicken tomorrow and I will definitely compensate you. Can you forgive Jiaming this time?"

"Sister-in-law, don't look for me. It's useless to look for me. Jiaming's matter depends on how the court decides." Tang Zhitong was afraid that Chu Chunxue would kneel down on him again, so he kept a certain distance from her.

Grandma Tang once taught Tang Zhitong: A man’s knees are made of gold, so he should kneel to heaven, earth, and his parents, and never kneel to anyone else.

He also said that accepting others kneeling down would shorten one’s lifespan, and that one should not kneel down to others, but one should not let others kneel down to him either.

The female comrade who abandoned the child in Wuhan was too far away from him to be avoided, but Chu Chunxue was right in front of him, so he could hide from her.

"Brother, I beg you. I will compensate you with myself. You can do whatever you want. I will listen to you. It's dark here and no one can see it." Seeing that Tang Zhitong didn't agree, Chu Chunxue mustered up a lot of courage and took out what she thought was the best.

The reason why Chu Chunxue had this idea was because she still remembered the passionate yet evasive looks that the young men in the neighborhood gave her during the first few years after she got married, especially the summer after she gave birth to Jiaming...

"Sister-in-law, I can't control how you treat yourself, but please don't treat me like this. I'll pretend you never said anything just now." Upon hearing Chu Chunxue say this, Tang Zhitong hid a little further away. If Chu Chunxue shouted at him at this time, he would not be able to explain himself clearly, and he might even get shit stuck on his crotch.

"Also, don't have any evil intentions. If you go to bother my mom about Jiaming's matter, I will directly ask the police station to deal with it seriously!" Tang Zhitong took a few steps, warned again, and then ran away without looking back!
It's too much. In the cold weather, a pregnant woman actually made such a request. Is this a loss of morality? Or a distortion of human nature?

After returning home, Tang Zhitong locked the door.

There was no light in the wing room, but the light in the main room was on. At a glance, I could tell that Xiao Wang was waiting for me with Zhang Guifang.

Fengzhen and Fengzhi had already gone to bed. Tang Zhitong whispered a brief report to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the progress of the chicken theft case.

"Mom, don't give in no matter who begs you tomorrow. Wait until I come back and talk about everything. If it really doesn't work, just close the door and ignore anyone." Tang Zhitong finally gave her worried instructions.

"Okay. But isn't this a bit too harsh?" Zhang Guifang is a soft-hearted person and knows what a juvenile detention center means to a child.

"This is to save Liu Jiaming. Just think about it, what has Liu Zhang spoiled Liu Jiaming into? Liu Chengzhi takes after his mother and is not a sensible person. If he is not corrected in time, Liu Jiaming will be ruined." Tang Zhitong did not mention the look in Liu Jiaming's eyes when he looked at him. If a child like this is allowed to grow up like this, it would be completely irresponsible of society.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Guifang thought about it and felt that what her son said made sense, so she agreed with it.
