Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 487 The truth comes to light

His eyes were fixed on his companions at the stalls across the street, and he wondered in his mind who had taken the two hundred yuan.

The women went to the stall across the street to buy meat, and they were still talking about this.

Faint sounds could still be heard drifting over.

"Isn't the Hu brothers afraid that people will say something about it and have a problem with him because the money they're being given is different?"

"Of course not. How could something like this be something to be proud of? They must have told us to keep quiet about it."

"Anyway, I heard that two people were given more than a hundred, while the other two were given very little. The eldest brother of the Hu family said that the two of them were very stupid, especially the one who gave the least. He was poor and had never seen the world. He was like a stray dog, wagging his tail happily even when he got a little bit of swill from the swill bucket. He treated it like money was given to a stray dog."

"Who are you calling a stray dog!" A furious shout rang out from behind the women.

The butcher they had just passed threw his cleaver onto the cutting board, the blade disappearing into it.

Several women were startled and ran away, shouting as they ran, "It wasn't us who said it! Besides, did we say it about you?" They quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The pork seller wasn't actually after these women. When they ran away, he didn't even look at them. He only stared at his companions at the other three stalls, then, with anger in his eyes, he walked towards them step by step.

He looked a bit scary right now, very angry, like he was about to punch someone at any moment. I was just glad he wasn't holding his meat-chopping knife.

"Wang Lao Er, what are you doing?" one of the three people being stared at asked.

Wang Lao Er just glared at him, "Who are you calling a stray dog!"

"Who said that? You're crazy!" the man snorted and continued to call out to the people in front of his stall to buy vegetables.

However, in the blink of an eye, Wang Lao Er pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.

He was enraged and cursed, "Wang Lao Er, are you a mad dog?"

Wang Lao Er was already provoked by the words "stray dog," and now he couldn't stand hearing the word "dog." Hearing it made him even angrier, and he pressed down on him with all his might, "Tell me, did those two good-for-nothings from the Hu family give you two hundred yuan?"

They took the money, and the Hu brothers specifically instructed them not to tell anyone. They knew it was illegal, so how could they admit to taking any amount?

The man refused to speak, so Wang Lao Er beat him, beating him to death.

He was a butcher who carried pork every day and was very strong. He was quickly beaten and couldn't hold on. He kept begging for mercy, "I didn't, I only took twenty, I really didn't take two hundred..."

He was also thinking to himself: The two good-for-nothings from the Hu family actually gave someone two hundred yuan? Was it for those two? Why?

After beating up a bunch of people, Wang Lao Er realized that the person he beat up was just as unlucky as himself. His gaze then turned to the other two people.

The other two were preparing to slip away, to get away from this troublesome place, but they were spotted by Wang Lao Er, and it was too late.

“I only have twenty! He! He must have taken two hundred!” one of them said, trying to absolve himself of responsibility.

Wang Lao Er's anger was then directed at only one person.

The other three also glared angrily at the last person.

This man panicked. He also bought pork. He might be able to fight back against one Wang Lao Er, but he couldn't handle three of them together.

Not wanting to get beaten, he quickly declared, "I'm only twenty!"

At this moment, Wang Lao Er's brain had been stimulated by the word "stray dog" to the point of losing his rationality. He had no doubt about what the women said, and firmly believed that one of them was lying.

"Who among you is lying—" The roar echoed through the sky.

Then came a chaotic flurry of punches, kicks, and shouts.

"Stop hitting me! I really only took twenty! The Hu brothers only gave me twenty!"

"So who took two hundred?!"

"Whoever takes two hundred is a complete coward!"

"They're all making fake documents for them, so why does someone get two hundred..."

"Whoever takes two hundred, may their whole family die a horrible death..."

The various curses suddenly fell silent—because all four people had been subdued.

The four people turned around and saw only a sea of ​​green uniforms...

Police station.

Qinglang's two uncles, the Hu brothers, and the group of people he brought were still causing a ruckus, so much so that a crowd had gathered outside the police station to watch the spectacle.

It means we're going to lose money.

The Hu brothers deliberately raised their voices to make sure outsiders could hear them, hoping to gain the support of the onlookers and put pressure on the police station.

"Fellow villagers, my poor sister is still lying in the hospital, and we don't know if she will ever wake up..."

"It's pitiful that she has two children; what will become of her in the future..."

"You two vicious women, don't you feel any remorse at night?"

Only Qinglang tried to defend Lin Qingping and Lei Sufang several times, attempting to explain, but his uncle and aunt always shut him down.

"No, they took care of my mother..."

"Silly child, they were the ones who pushed it down, so it's only right that they take care of it."

"No, they didn't push them..."

"Are you stupid? You believe everything they say? People saw them push it! Didn't they come to testify this morning?"

When the onlookers heard that a witness had come to the police station to testify, they immediately believed the Hu brothers and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Aunt Qinglang is about to burst into tears.

"But the police station is helping these two evil women! It's been so long, and they still haven't done anything to them! They're letting them swagger around like that!"

"I don't even know if the police station took them in..."

Aunt Qinglang pretended to be panicked, covering her mouth halfway through her sentence, looking around as if she was too frightened to say anything more.

But the onlookers understood and immediately became furious, starting to berate the police officers at the police station, saying, "If officials don't serve the people, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

“You come from the people, so you should return to the people. How can you help a wicked woman bully the people?”

Some people even picked up stones and tried to smash the door of the police station.

Lin Qingping looked at the people walking out of the crowd, smiled slightly, and didn't bother to argue.

Four police officers arrived, escorting four witnesses.

With the support of the onlookers, Uncle Qinglang was in the mood to swagger around. "We're law-abiding citizens, and I won't bully you two women. If you don't pay up today, I'll sue you, and the court will sentence you to prison! I have witnesses who saw it all..."

Before they could finish speaking, the four witnesses were escorted by the police through the crowd and appeared in front of them.

The Hu brothers swallowed the rest of their words, staring wide-eyed at the four people, their eyes asking: What's going on?

The four so-called witnesses lowered their heads and went inside to give their statements again, each one looking dejected, as if to say: It's over, it's over...

"You guys... watch your mouth!" the Hu brothers shouted from behind.
