The boss is coming, the scumbag is going to be in trouble

Chapter 258 A mother’s life shouldn’t be like this — Tao Xiaozheng 4

A police officer noticed the words on the notice in Tao Shuqi's hand and exclaimed, "Oh! This little girl is a freshman at Peking University and Tsinghua University!"

"Really!"

Everyone gathered around, and the village party secretary also showed a surprised smile on his face.

College students are very scarce in this era, let alone those from Peking University or Tsinghua University.

"Shuqi, tell me, why are you crying?" the village party secretary asked Tao Shuqi softly.

Tao Shuqi wiped the tears from her face and looked at everyone. Her voice was choked with sobs, but she spoke clearly as she told everything.

"Is what she said true?" The village party secretary asked sternly, looking at Ji's mother lying on the ground in a miserable state.

"Yes, it's true." Seeing the police coming, Ji's mother could no longer be arrogant and nodded repeatedly.

A university student from Peking University or Tsinghua University! They must be rare in their entire county, right?

If he goes out to attend a meeting again, others will envy him.

Now someone actually wants to harm her, and the smile on the village party secretary's face immediately disappeared.

"Are you seriously ill? You're going to kill a promising college student just for a few hundred dollars. Are you sick?"

"I, I thought it was only 500 yuan!" Ji's mother muttered in a low voice, her eyes flickering, and she seemed a little guilty.

"You, you are really blinded by money. You lose your mind for such a small profit." The village party secretary was so disappointed with her that he pointed at her and wanted to slap her a few times.

Xihe looked at the angry village party secretary without any emotion in his heart.

In his previous life, after Tao Shuqi was ruined and the village was in turmoil, he didn't care much.

In his mind, less trouble is worse than more. A widow and a girl with a bad reputation is not worth offending the Ji family.

He knew very well how serious it was for a girl to have her innocence ruined in this era, and she might not be able to attend that university.

If the police hadn't come, he wouldn't want to show up in this life.

Now he is cursing at Ji's mother again, also in an attempt to please Tao Shuqi in the future.

Because, as the village party secretary, he knows very well how important it is for college graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University to be.

"Come on, let's go to the police station." A police officer also looked at her with disgust and reached out to handcuff her.

Although the Ji family members are domineering in the village, they are still very afraid of the police.

Ji's mother felt the cold handcuffs and had no strength to walk.

Her daughter was also dragged up and put into the police station's car.

The villagers who had been gathered together and whispering to each other immediately shut up and dared not say another word when they saw the police taking Ji's mother away.

Because in this era, the emphasis was on not letting the people see the officials, unlike later generations where calling the police became commonplace. Some people even dared to call the police if they ran out of toilet paper.

This era is different. Many people don’t want to deal with the police.

Xihe also realized this and asked Fengqi to call the police.

Ji Xiang, who was wrapped in gauze, was also taken from his home and put into a police car. None of his brothers dared to show up and cause trouble.

Xihe also followed Tao Shuqi and her daughter to the Public Security Bureau. Tao Shuqi's face looked very ugly along the way, and Xihe patted her hand to reassure her.

Tao Shuqi felt Xihe's kindness and smiled weakly at Xihe.

When they arrived at the police station, the police started interrogating them without wasting any time.

"Tell me, who gave you the money?"

"I don't know. He came at night and was wearing sunglasses, so I couldn't see his face clearly." Mother Ji didn't dare to delay and answered quickly.

"Where's the money?" the police continued to ask.

"In our house."

The police officer who was listening immediately stood up, opened the door and walked out.

……

Ji Xiang felt very uncomfortable in the interrogation room and answered every question from the police.

"Who hit you?" The public security officer's eyes were sharp and his tone was stern, with unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, it was the girl in the blue dress who hit me." Ji Xiang's voice trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he answered cautiously.

"Have you seen the true face of the man who gave your mother the money?" the police officer continued to ask.

"No, I only know the direction he left." Ji Xiang shook his head and added.

"Which direction?"

"The county town. He left our village and boarded a bus to the county town." Ji Xiang changed his sitting position and continued, "I originally thought he was so rich, so I wanted to test his bottom line so that I could ask him for money later."

"After seeing him get on the bus, I didn't dare follow him anymore, fearing he would recognize me and get me into trouble again."

……

Because neither the mother nor the son could reveal the man's identity, they had to be locked up first.

The public security officer looked at Xihe and asked with a smile, "Little girl, did you save Tao Shuqi?"

"Yes." Xihe looked at the police officer with a kind face and answered obediently.

"Do you know martial arts?" the police officer asked again.

"Well, it's a family tradition." Xihe continued to make up a story.

"Then how did you get there?"

"I was traveling and happened to be passing by when I heard Tao Shuqi's cry. I rushed to save the little girl..."

After Xi He finished speaking, he carefully raised his head and looked at the police officer in front of him: "I know I hit him hard. Do I have to pay him money if I hurt him?"

"No, no, you are acting bravely and should be praised." The police officer smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.

"That's good, that's good. I'm still a student and I don't have the money to compensate him."

"Hahaha..." The two police officers couldn't help laughing when they thought about what they had investigated.

"Good job, little girl. Just don't hit her so hard next time." A female police officer came forward, patted Xihe's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll remember it." Xihe nodded cooperatively.

"Okay, you can leave with them." One of the police officers pointed to Tao Shuqi and her daughter who were looking worried not far away.

"Okay, goodbye." Xihe nodded to the two police officers and walked towards the two worried people.

"Goodbye." The two police officers also waved to Xihe with a smile.

……

Before Xihe had walked far, Grandma Tao and the others ran over and asked worriedly, "Xiao Tao, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's go back and talk."

"Okay, let's talk when we get back." Grandma Tao took a look and knew that this was not the place to talk, so she took Xihe and Tao Shuqi and walked quickly out the door.

When they returned to the village, the villagers saw the three of them and turned around hurriedly. No one dared to go up and say anything.

I heard that Ji Xiang and his mother were locked up, and they might be locked up for several months. It seems that the three of them are fine now that they are back. I didn’t realize that Widow Tao is such a ruthless person!

Grandma Tao opened the door and invited Xihe in.

When they got to the house, Grandma Tao poured Xihe a glass of water and said embarrassedly, "Little girl, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
