Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

"Village chief? Village chief? Great news! Huge happy news. Boss Qiao and his gang have been arrested!" Li Zhan Ning pushed open the door and couldn't wait to tell the two of them the good news.

Li Jianguo stood up suddenly, "Really?"

"Really!" Li Zhan Ning just went to deliver goods and happened to see the scene. "I saw with my own eyes that they were beating up a restaurant owner because he couldn't pay the protection fee. Then they were surrounded by more than 20 armed police and taken away directly!"

Armed police? Zhang Xiuhua's eyes widened. It seemed that the higher-ups had already discovered that there were gangsters in their province, so they didn't trust the police here and directly used the armed police!

Li Jianguo slapped the table and laughed three times, "Great! Well done!"

He walked back and forth in front of his desk, holding his hands on his waist. He was so proud. Let's see how arrogant these people are.

Zhang Xiuhua wanted to know the inside story more than she was happy, so she asked, "When will the conviction be made?"

Arresting them is just an appetizer. She wants these people to be sentenced and put in jail so that peace can be restored in their county.

"I heard there will be a public trial tomorrow. As long as there is injustice, the provincial party committee secretary will personally help us overturn the case." Li Zhan Ning also smiled from ear to ear. The brewery was their property, and it was taken away by those bastards. Any man with a little blood in his veins would not tolerate this.

Li Jianguo nodded repeatedly, "Then I can get back the money I paid before!"

He took a deep breath and racked his brains to think about whether they had broken anything since they came in. All of this should be counted. They must be sentenced to a few more years.

Zhang Xiuhua pushed him and said, "Didn't the boss of the sugar factory give you his phone number before he left? Now that there is news, ask him to take the train here quickly. Maybe we can still take back the sugar factory."

Li Jianguo nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll call him now!"

At the public trial on the second day, all the employees of the brewery attended. The county party committee office was requisitioned and there were not many seats inside. The workers waited outside, and only the factory director Li Jianguo was allowed to go in.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't see the scene and could only wait outside.

Li Zhan Ning was extremely anxious. Seeing more and more people blocking the door, he estimated that the news that Boss Qiao and others had been arrested had spread throughout the county.

In fact, Boss Qiao has never been to their county. He is usually in Harbin. However, his followers are spread all over the province, fighting, fighting for territories, collecting protection fees, etc.

Their situation was similar to Zhang Xiuhua's. The victims went in and their families waited outside. Zhang Xiuhua also listened to these people's complaints.

Fighting is not new. If they see a pretty girl on the street, they will rape her. Some married women cannot escape their clutches, and they beat their husbands half to death. There is nothing they can't do unless you have heard of these evil deeds.

These were all done by the minions. Zhang Xiuhua also learned from an insider that Boss Qiao was a hundred times more vicious than them. If ordinary people offended him, it would be the same as seeing the "living devil". His methods of treating his enemies were also quite perverted. He would make a hole in the ice, take off the enemy's clothes, throw the person into the water, wait until the person was almost dead, then pull the person out, and then pour hot water on him, over and over again, until he tortured the person to the point where the bones would separate with a slight tap. (From the news)

The nightclub he opened directly snatched girls from the streets, and required them to work as hosts in the nightclub regardless of whether they were willing or not.

We are all genuine farmers. Every family has a daughter. Even if we don’t have one, our brothers and sisters have daughters. When we hear how they treat these girls, we gnash our teeth in hatred.

In addition to girls, men were not spared. On the roadside, if he saw someone he didn't like, he would directly order his men to beat him up.

More and more people were waiting at the door. By noon, the sun was high in the sky. Zhang Xiuhua and Li Zhanning were so hungry that their stomachs growled. But neither of them said they would leave. They were both waiting for Li Jianguo. Fortunately, it didn't take long before Li Jianguo finally came out. He had a warm smile on his face and waved to everyone, "It's done! I have registered their crimes. We just have to wait for the verdict later."

Zhang Xiuhua asked, "When will the verdict be?"

"It will be very quick. They will wait until all the victims have filed their complaints, and then they will enter the expedited trial procedure." Li Jianguo clenched his fist and assured everyone, "The provincial party secretary said that we will definitely be dealt with fairly. Everyone just go back to work. No one will dare to target our brewery in the future."

The workers were also ecstatic when they received the news.

Li Zhanning felt that those people deserved to be punished. He was more concerned about the money issue. "Can the protection fee that our factory paid before be returned?"

Li Jianguo gave him a reassurance, "Yes! But we have to wait until the case is over. The money we paid is not that much. I heard that the person in front of me was robbed of more than three million."

Zhang Xiuhua took a deep breath. More than three million? These people are really bold!

The workers suddenly felt that the money owed by their factory was nothing. It was not even enough to pay a small fraction of the money owed. It was also fortunate that their factory opened late. Otherwise, they would have suffered heavy losses.

Having resolved a worry, Li Jianguo specially invited everyone to dinner at a nearby restaurant.

After ordering a table of dishes and a bottle of beer from their factory, Li Jianguo took the lead and encouraged everyone to continue working. "I am so happy today. After drinking, everyone can go back and rest for a while, and we will officially start work tomorrow."

The workers responded loudly.

The restaurant owner came over to deliver the food, also with a smile on her face, "You guys are here to complain too, right?"

Zhang Xiuhua asked with a smile, "Has your family been charged protection fees?"

"Yes! My husband went to the queue. But compared with others, we didn't get much money." Although it wasn't much money, the boss lady still felt bad, "We earned all that money by working hard from dawn to dusk."

Although the net profit of running a restaurant is high, it is a very hard job. You can't eat three meals a day on time. You smell the fumes every day. Whoever runs a restaurant knows how it feels.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and comforted her, "It will be fine in the future. We have finally seen the sunshine."

"Our county is relatively good. We are on the border. I heard that the provincial capital is their lair and the hardest hit area. They were missed even during the crackdown, which shows how sophisticated their methods are." The proprietress was relieved and happy. "We just hope that everything will be fine in the future, and no one will do this again, scaring us so that we don't dare to do business."

Fortunately, she is not very good-looking, otherwise those people would definitely do many ridiculous things.

"Yes. Everything will be peaceful in the future." Zhang Xiuhua also made a wish in her heart.

A table of people ate food, drank wine, and talked about future development, and then took the hand tractor back, not feeling tired, and sang at the top of their lungs. It was so refreshing!

When he got home, he jumped off the tractor at the intersection and told his fellow villagers that the gangsters who had targeted their brewery had been arrested and that all the profits would belong to them from now on.

The villagers came out of their houses in twos and threes and surrounded these people at the intersection, demanding details.

"What happened? Who reported it?"

"Are you sure you can convict him?"

Zhang Xiuhua was also surrounded by the aunts and grandmas, asking her to tell the details.

Zhang Xiuhua told them all the inside information she knew.

When the villagers learned that it was the armed police who were arresting people personally, and that they did not let anyone go, and that they arrested them first and then interrogated them, and then asked everyone to report, they shouted excitedly.

"Looks like they're serious! Great! We can't let these bastards go. Why should our money end up in their pockets?"

"Yes! There is no law! Even God can't stand it and sent people to deal with them."

The villagers spread the news to each other, and within ten minutes, the whole village knew about it. One person told ten people, ten told a hundred people. This effect was even more widespread than advertising.

Zhang Xiuhua finally got away. When she returned home, she started calling Ergou to tell him the good news.

Ergou heard her call and told her first, "Godmother, I have settled the matter here. The compensation has been determined. It is 150,000 yuan."

According to the usual standards, it should have been more than 40,000, but he wanted to make a quick decision and didn't want to drag it on any longer, so he gave an extra 100,000.

Because of this incident, he required all employees to undergo a physical examination. Those who had heart disease, liver disease, epilepsy and other diseases were directly fired.

Don't blame him for being cruel, he is really scared of these people.

Zhang Xiuhua asked about the instant noodle factory’s sales and whether business had recovered.

Ergou said, "It's okay. I plan to set up a new brand, just like you told me before. Just make a small profit."

"Then don't you have to advertise again?" Zhang Xiuhua was a little worried.

"Yes! I still have some money. Enough." Ergou regretted that he shouldn't have disobeyed his godmother. If he had only made a small profit at that time, those brands would not have been able to enter. There would be no such thing as commercial competition.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "Just do it if you want to."

She told the story of Qiao Lao Da being arrested, "The armed police arrested the man, and the provincial party secretary came in person."

Ergou's voice was filled with joy, "Jidong is really amazing."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't tell him that it wasn't Jidong who helped. She just told him to relax and not worry about his family.
