Chapter 142 : Compensation
“I was in the army for many years and was discharged not long ago.”
“I see. Come to our institute more often sometime. We can be considered friends after fighting. Can you teach me the two moves you used to knock me down?”
“Sure.” Qi Shaoqiang was also happy to do so. When he was in the security department, he mostly did routine patrols and rarely had this kind of passionate feeling. This reminded him of the time before he retired from the army.
“Comrade Xiao Qi, I’ve read your transcript. You work in the security department of the agricultural machinery factory?”
Chen Weiming was someone who valued and loved talents. There had been a comrade in the institute who initially didn’t meet the recruitment requirements. But his ability to solve cases was so impressive that Chen Weiming made an exception and let him in. He worked as a temporary employee for three months and was now a regular employee.
He looked at Qi Shaoqiang with shining eyes. It would be a shame if such a good physique didn’t join their police station.
“Yes.”
“How is the treatment in the security department? Are you satisfied with your work?”
“Not bad, just normal work.”
“I used to be in the army too, but later I was discharged and came to work at the police station. We have something in common!”
When Liu Chaoying saw the chief’s behavior, she knew what he was trying to do, so she cooperated and said, “Comrade Qi, when you’re on vacation, come to our police station and teach me a few tricks.”
“Mr. Qi, everything is done. I’ll take you and Mrs. Chen back.”
Old Yan, who had come with them, noticed Qi Shaoqiang’s hesitation and took the initiative to help him out. “Director, thanks to you this time. My old lady said she’d come to visit us next time.”
“No, no, it’s us younger generations who should visit the old lady. Say hello to her for me.”
The three members of the Gu family, who were detained in the police station, saw Qi Shaoqiang and his companions leaving leisurely and started yelling that it was unjust.
“I can see that you’re in the same group! Tell me, what benefits did that little whore’s family give you? That you should kneel down and lick them like this!”
The old man even reached his hand through the railing and grabbed the collar of the public security officer in front of him. “Why don’t you lock up that man who beat us like this?”
The guard was pulled and staggered, and now he was charged with assaulting a public security officer, a much more serious crime!
…
“Lizi, have some pigeon soup.”
Jiang Li was about to get up when Chen Xianyun held her down. “Don’t get out of bed, mom will feed you. I scared you today, luckily nothing happened.”
Jiang Li drank the soup and listened slowly to Chen Xianyun’s warm chatter. She gently stroked her lower abdomen and said, “You are worthy of being my child. You’re fine after going through such a big scene.”
“Mom, have you notified Wang Juan’s family? Sister Wang Juan is home alone, don’t let them worry.”
Ding Meifang was fine, so she went to the hospital, applied some medicine, and went home. Wang Juan’s back was badly injured, with red and purple bruises, and she couldn’t move her hands. Jiang Li insisted that she wait for a day for observation before going home.
“Don’t worry, Shaoqiang just went there. Thanks to Xiaojuan this time, otherwise the bench would have hit you. I was scared to death! How can there be such a vicious person?”
Jiang Li held Chen Xianyun’s hand and comforted her, “Mom, don’t be afraid. This cage is big enough to hold all kinds of birds. When we open a business, we can see all kinds of monsters.”
“However, there are only a few people as vicious as the Gu family, and most people are still very reasonable. Besides, you let Zhuifeng out today, and you see how that old man bit him, he was almost shredded into carrots.”
Chen Xianyun burst out laughing, “You are more tolerant than mom. Eat up all the soup and meat, don’t leave any. Have a good rest after eating.”
“Got it.”
Qi Shaoqiang went home under the moonlight. He had two things to do. The incident with the old man made him feel a strong sense of crisis, and he couldn’t leave any hidden dangers that might be detrimental to Jiang Li.
First, he found a few thugs and threatened and insulted Zhou Hui and her daughter. Now they had already boarded the train back to their hometown.
Second, the Gu family. Except for the old man, everyone else in the Gu family had decent jobs. He went to their workplace and found that the two sons of the Gu family had been fired by the factory.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family had already run away because she couldn’t stand it anymore. The younger daughter-in-law packed her bags and went back to her parents’ home after learning that her husband had been taken to the police station.
Qi Shaoqiang also found someone to spread today’s incident to his daughter-in-law’s family. According to the information he got, his daughter-in-law was ready to publish a statement in the newspaper to sever ties with the Gu family, and divorce was a foregone conclusion.
Seeing Jiang Li’s exhausted and haggard appearance, Qi Shaoqiang gently kissed her forehead. But this was not enough. The Gu family had to pay the price for what they had done.
All the things that were smashed in the store, including the makeup mirror, chairs, and counters, needed to be re-customized, and Jiang Li recorded every penny of the money needed to buy the new things.
Qi Shaoqiang took the receipt to the Gu family to collect the debt, followed by two Xu family bodyguards who were taller and stronger than him.
The second daughter-in-law of the Gu family, who had come back to pack her things, was so frightened she was scared out of her wits, “You, what are you going to do?”
“We didn’t do anything. We just want to get back what we deserve.”
The list clearly listed the items that were broken, plus the loss of business from Jiang Li’s one-week suspension of business and the compensation for the Gu family’s breach of contract, “Make it an even number, three thousand yuan.”
“If you can’t give it to me within three days, your man will never get married again in his life.”
Qi Shaoqiang said it lightly, but the coldness in his eyes was real. Lu Xiumei, the second daughter-in-law of the Gu family, hugged her two children and said, “I have no money. Why should I pay for the sins they committed?”
Qi Shaoqiang looked at her coldly. If the father and son of the Gu family were the dogs that bit people, then the woman hiding behind them was the owner who let the dog hurt people.
Lizi said that since her shop opened, Lu Xiumei often poked around in the store, touched all the clothes, and took advantage of Wang Juan’s absence to ask her about the source of the goods and the purchase price.
Lu Xiumei also promised to give Wang Juan 30 yuan a month and let Wang Juan work as a clerk in the clothing store she was going to open. However, she didn’t expect that Wang Juan told Jiang Li all of these words.
“You instigated your father-in-law and your husband to take back the store. Aren’t you jealous of the money our Lizi has made and want to open a similar store next door?”
Suddenly, her inner thoughts were exposed. Lu Xiumei avoided his gaze but refused to admit it. “What do you mean by the same? If she can open a clothing store, why can’t others?”
Seeing that the woman was still stubborn and refused to pay compensation, Qi Shaoqiang lost his patience. With a glance, the Xu family’s bodyguard kicked the wooden door and broke it.
“Since you want money but not your life, go fish your kid out of the river tomorrow!”
