"It's against the law to blackmail people." Jing Peng looked at the village head, "Abba, I heard my elder brother mention that scammers are like swindlers."
Brother...?
Tang Huai blinked. When she heard Jing Peng mention "big brother", she couldn't help but think of Jing Xuan.
She knew that he had gone back to the camp.
Tang Huai's gaze darkened. She didn't know when he would return to the camp this time …
Tang Youxin heart slightly shrank when he heard Jing Peng's words.
You think it's illegal to lie? Why didn't he know?
If someone else had said it, he wouldn't have believed it, but Jing Xuan had said … He didn't dare believe it.
"Brother Jing, I only said it, I haven't even made it up yet." Tang Youxin walked over to the village chief's side and said with a mischievous smile, "Aiya, it's all because of Tang Huai's disrespect for her elders. That's why I wanted to teach her a lesson."
"That's right, that's right. I asked her to lend me some money in a humble manner. Not only did she refuse, she even said that it would be best if my so , Zhidong, never get a wife in this lifetime." Su Lin Fang also walked up and looked at the Village Head with a fawning expression. "Brother Jing, we didn't steal or exaggerate. We were just there to scare Tang Huai."
Tang Huai looked at the two people speechlessly. Their skin was really thicker than tree bark.
Tang Youxin listened and clenched his fists. Tang Huai, that slut, dared to curse her son that he would never be able to get a wife in his life!
"Don't deny it. Come with me to the Public Security Bureau." The village chief said solemnly.
"..." Tang Peijun moved his lips. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Of course, he didn't want Tang Youxin and Su Lin to go to jail, but what they did was too much. Even begging for mercy for them felt shameful.
"Don't, Brother Jing, we didn't commit any crimes." Tang Youxin panicked.
The Village Head said indifferently, "Whether you commit a crime or not, leave it to the Public Security Bureau to decide."
"Don't!" Tang Youxin grabbed the village chief's arm and begged, "I'll be finished if you give it to the Public Security Bureau. I didn't get anything and you sent me to the Public Security Bureau. That's not fair!" Brother Jing, please don't make things difficult for me, okay? "
When his son had grown up, he could marry his wife. Now that he was in prison, not only would he not be able to enjoy his son's blessings, but he would also lose face for his son. What if the girl he liked decided not to have anything to do with him?
"Big Brother Jing, I'm kneeling down to you. Please don't send us to jail. If we go in, our lives will be over." Su Lin Fang kneeled down before the village chief and even forced out her tears. Her crying expression was indescribably ugly.
"What is the law to do if everyone has committed a crime and is kneeling down to beg for forgiveness?" The Village Chief's expression was calm, with no intention of retreating.
"Hong Zhang, for my sake, let's just forget about this matter, right? I'll definitely teach them a lesson later. " Tang Peijun slightly frowned and looked at the village head.
When Tang Peijun was the leader of the production team, he was very considerate of the village head and admired his ability.
He hoped that the Village Chief would be able to see that he was an elder and would be able to settle the matter peacefully.
"Uncle Tang, this is not a matter of face. They stole the money. This is a heinous crime!" The Village Head handled this matter impartially and never had any face.
Tang Peijun was helpless, "This... Didn't they steal the money? "
"I don't care about the results, I only care about my behavior!" The village head sternly said and then said to Jing Peng, "Jing Peng, take them to the county town."
Tang Youxin and Su Lin panicked when they heard this.
Su Lin Fang cried, "Don't go to the county, Brother Jing. Please spare us!" "I can't go to jail. If I go to jail and lose all my reputation, if A'Mei knew, she definitely wouldn't marry Zhidong."
Tang Huai's expression was indifferent, and she felt disdain in her heart. Now that they knew that the reputation was important.
Tang Huai pursed her lips and retracted the sharp glint in her eyes.
She bitterly looked at the village head and softly said, "Uncle Jing, if I don't sue Second Uncle, can you let them go?"
Upon hearing Tang Huai's words, Su Lin Fang's weeping abruptly stopped.
The Village Chief looked at Tang Huai in surprise. "You're not prosecuting?"
They had already bullied her, and she still wanted to let them go?
Tang Huai had a pitiful look on her face as she helplessly said, "Second Uncle's family is also in a difficult situation. Actually, my family didn't lose anything. If I can make this matter small, then I'll make it small. Can I plead on behalf of second uncle and second aunt?"
It wasn't that Tang Huai didn't want Tang Qian and Su Lin to be taught a lesson, but it was because the time wasn't right yet.
She still wasn't strong enough. If Tang Youxin and Su Lin went to the police station and came back, she didn't know how they will retailate.
And their eldest son, Tang Zhidong, a gangster-like existence. If his parents were detained, he would definitely feel that it was her fault and take revenge on her.
By September, she was going to the county level school. She wasn't afraid, but what about her family's Liu Xiaoyu and her young sister?
Tang Zhidong was the kind of person who would rather die together than let everyone have a good time. Tang Huai didn't want to provoke such a person, so even if she couldn't lend Su Lin Fang money to help him get a wife, but she could help Su Lin Fang "plead". This way, everyone would feel that she was reasonable, understanding, and Tang Zhidong wouldn't pay attention to her.
Moreover, if she could be like Tang Ying and become a well-behaved child in the eyes of the entire village, then even if Peng Jiayao and a few aunts bullied her mother in the future, the villagers would still ridicule them. Perhaps they wouldn't dare to go overboard for the sake of face.
That was why she was "pleading" for Tang Youxin and Su Lin in front of the Village Head.
Hearing Tang Huai's words, Su Lin nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes. My family is in a difficult situation. Tang Huai, you didn't lose anything. Quickly ask Big Brother Jing to let us go."
Tang Huai resentfully looked at the Village Head, "Uncle Jing, I can tell you that this matter has never happened before. Look, my second uncle's hand is also injured and he didn't sleep last night, so let him go back to sleep." "If we send him to the police station and don't get a change of medicine from the clinic to clean his wounds, he would be infected, seriously injured, and his hands crippled, this would be a heavy responsibility."
Tang Huai already knew Tang Youxin wounds are already treated, so of course he wouldn't get infected. Tang Huai had deliberately emphasized the problem, so the Village Chief and villagers would still feel that it was right.
If anything happened to Tang Youxin, wouldn't this responsibility be shouldered by the Village Head?
The villagers were not responsible for such a grievance.
The village chief handled this matter impartially and was unmoved by Tang Huai's "plea".
Jing Peng, who was standing beside him, opened his mouth, "Abba, if Tang Huai doesn't sue and doesn't pursue the matter, then forget it. Tang Huai didn't lose any money; at most, he attempted to steal it. To be precise, this is their family matter, so it's good that they can settle it in private. "
They didn't have to care about all that. It wouldn't be good if they could have their own grievances.
Furthermore, Tang Youxin had attempted to steal the money. At most, he would be able to record a confession and accept some ideological work when he sent it to the Public Security Bureau. He would be able to release it tomorrow.
"Forget it." After the Village Chief pondered for a while, he sternly said to Tang Ypuxin, "Seeing that you've committed the crime and Tang Huai is not going to sue you, I'll let you off. If there's a next time, even if the Emperor asks for mercy, forget about settling this matter! You all really do not place this Village Head in your eyes! "
