Chapter 1156 I'm a Little Rascal Cousin

Xu Fugui had already found out about the Jia family's current situation from Hou Guifang.

Jia Zhangshi committed a crime and was sent to the jail. She was bitten by a stick and burned, and ended up in the hospital. Her family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat.

If it weren't for the hundred-odd yuan that Xu Damao paid in compensation, Banggeng might have already been kicked out of the hospital.

Since Qin Huairu was determined to send Xu Damao to jail, Xu Fugui didn't care anymore.

“Uncle Xu, that hundred-odd yuan was compensation from Xu Damao. How can you take it back?” Qin Huairu said anxiously, “Aren’t you trying to force us, a widow and her child, to our deaths? Banggeng is in the hospital now, and we have to spend money every day.”

She would be at a huge loss if she returned the money.

Moreover, some of the money has already been used to pay for medical expenses.

"What do I care whether Bang Geng dies or not?"

Xu Fugui's attitude also hardened: "Give me back the money. If you don't, I'll report you to the authorities right now and accuse you of deliberately harming my son for money."

"How could you be so heartless? Bang Geng is still a child!" Qin Huairu was unwilling to return the money. Once the money was in her pocket, taking it out again would be like cutting off a piece of her flesh.

Moreover, both Banggeng and she needed money. After returning more than a hundred yuan, they would only have a few dozen yuan left in their pockets, which would make it impossible for them to live a good life.

"My son Xu Damao is just a child, Qin Huairu, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and pay back the money!"

Just as Xu Fugui was pressuring Qin Huairu to return the money, two uniformed police officers walked towards the ward.

The leader glanced at Xu Fugui, then said to Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, right? You left after reporting the case this morning. We still need your cooperation on many things. Would it be convenient for you to come back to the yamen with us now?"

Feeling guilty, Qin Huairu didn't dare linger at the yamen in the morning. She quickly reported the case and then quietly slipped away.

To everyone's surprise, the police actually found this place.

"I'm not available right now; Banggeng needs someone here." Qin Huairu shook her head without even thinking.

Her performance might fool the residents in the compound, but it's highly likely she won't fool the police.

If we were to go to the yamen and confront Xu Damao, the matter would likely be exposed.

"Comrade, I can help take care of the children!"

Xu Fugui was overjoyed and immediately volunteered. If Qin Huairu went to the yamen, things might take a turn for the better.

He knew his son was a lecher, but he also knew his son wasn't stupid; he wouldn't be so foolish as to kick down a widow's door at night. There was probably something he didn't know about.

"no!"

Qin Huairu refused outright. She called the police and sent Xu Damao to jail. Xu Fugui must hate her to death. How could she possibly entrust Banggeng to him for care?

The lead policeman recognized Xu Fugui and, after a closer look, remembered him. He then beckoned to his colleague, "You stay here and watch over the child."

After saying that, he turned to Qin Huairu and said, "Is it convenient now?"

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Xu Fugui interjected, "Comrade, Xu Damao was wronged in this matter, and the two sides have already reached a settlement. Xu Damao compensated her more than a hundred yuan, but I don't know why he suddenly went back on his word."

"I hope you can interrogate Qin Huairu thoroughly; there's definitely something fishy going on here!"

The police officer in charge glanced at Xu Fugui but did not respond. He then left the hospital with Qin Huairu.

Meanwhile, Xu Damao, with dark circles under his eyes, squatted on the ground, gazing longingly through the iron fence at the distance.

The injuries on his face were inflicted by security officers who said he deserved to be beaten for being a scoundrel.

"I'm innocent! I was wronged by Qin Huairu's courtesy name!"

"You can't just investigate me, investigate Qin Huairu too. I lost over a hundred yuan without even touching her, why are you arresting me?"

"Oh? From what you're saying, it's because a woman came in?"

Inside the small house, a man with messy hair and a foul odor walked over and leaned down to look at Xu Damao, who was still crying out for justice.

Xu Damao glanced at him with some disdain and ignored him.

When he first came in, he heard the people in the small house bragging. Xu Damao knew that the person in front of him had been caught stealing women's underwear. Xu Damao despised this kind of person the most.

Stealing clothes is the most despicable thing you can do. If you're so capable, why don't you steal people?

"Hey, my name is Wang Mazi, I'm that little rascal's distant cousin. You're pretty arrogant, aren't you?!" Wang Mazi picked his nose and flicked a piece of booger onto Xu Damao's face.

"Ugh, how disgusting!" Xu Damao swatted away his boogers in annoyance. "What do you mean by 'little rascal' or 'big rascal'? Get out of here, I'm not the same kind of person as you!"

Ouch?

Wang Mazi glanced at Xu Damao with some surprise.

This guy doesn't even know who the little rascal is?

Or did they simply not take the little brat seriously?

For a moment, Wang Mazi was unsure about Xu Damao's background.

His so-called distant cousin, that little rascal, was only a distant relative. He had been quiet for a while after the little rascal was arrested, but he heard from people in the circle that the little rascal had been released, so he has started to show off again recently.

Sure enough, he stole his widow neighbor's clothes yesterday, got reported to the authorities, and was arrested this morning.

"What do you do for a living, kid?" Wang Mazi scrutinized Xu Damao.

"We belong to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!"

Xu Damao said impatiently, he had no time to argue with anyone right now.

After being arrested here, no one interrogated him or asked him about the situation. He was just left to languish in a small dark room. Xu Damao was in a panic. He was worried that he would be sentenced without going through any procedures, or he would be in big trouble.

From Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill?

Wang Mazi was taken aback when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, his distant cousin had been imprisoned because of a tough guy at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Hmm... Could it be such a coincidence?

Wang Mazi's heart tightened, and he carefully squatted down next to Xu Damao.

"Hey buddy, you really don't know who that little rascal is?"

"Can you please leave me alone? If that brat dares to come near me, I'll beat him to death with one powerful punch." After saying that, Xu Damao noticed that Wang Mazi's expression was a bit off: "What are you looking at? If you piss me off, I'll beat you to death too!"

Xu Damao acted so arrogantly because he had heard from people in the propaganda department that those arrested were not good people and were most likely to bully newcomers.

But if you act like a ruthless person, those people will have to think twice before they make a move against you.

The smelly guy in front of me is that distant cousin of the self-proclaimed "little rascal," who must be a gang leader.

If I say this, the other party shouldn't dare to make a move against me easily, right?

Oh my, how arrogant! You're always talking about killing people.

This guy really knows that brat!

Wang Mazi was both surprised and delighted, and there was a high probability that he had had a conflict with the little rascal before.
