CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: OUR NIQIU IS ALSO A VICTIM

After Qiao Shuanzhu took his son inside, at first Niqiu didn’t tell the truth. Xiao Tie, who was in charge of questioning, said coldly: "You better tell the truth."

Niqiu was frightened by Xiao Tie’s cold and stern gaze and immediately forgot what his mom had instructed and blurted out what had actually happened.

When Qiao Shuanzhu heard his son’s words, his face turned dark. His own son, just for a bag of sweets, almost caused harm to Director He’s two nephews. He really didn’t know where to hide his face.

His face tightened, and he slapped his son directly: "Why are you so useless? Is our family lacking food for you, or lacking drinks?"

Niqiu, already very scared, started crying out loud this time with a ’wah’.

Bai Cuilin, who had been waiting outside, rushed in as soon as she heard her son’s crying. She knew he definitely hadn’t followed what she had told him to say.

She snatched her son from her husband’s hands: "Why are you hitting him? Even if he did something wrong, he was tricked by others. How old is he? Who wasn’t a bit greedy at that age? How would he know those people were cheaters?"

After saying this, she hugged her gasping and crying son: "Don’t cry, it’s not your fault, it’s those bad people’s fault."

Probably feeling sorry for her son, she blurted out: "Besides, if anyone’s to blame, blame Director He. If it weren’t for him making trouble with those people, they wouldn’t have come to us. Our Niqiu is a victim too. We haven’t even asked Director He for an explanation yet."

When she rushed in, she didn’t close the door. Her words were overheard by people in the hallway who had come over to gather gossip.

Qiao Shuanzhu didn’t expect his wife to be so foolish. It was clearly their son’s greed that caused the trouble, yet she turned the situation around and spoke so self-righteously.

Even the police were looking at their family differently.

He felt really embarrassed and lifted his leg to kick Bai Cuilin, knocking her to the ground, dragging their son down with her, causing the onlookers to sigh in disbelief.

Niqiu, who had stopped crying earlier, immediately started wailing again.

He shouted angrily: "Stop crying, you disgraceful thing."

Bai Cuilin was also terrified. She knew her man was truly angry, and despite the pain, she quickly got up from the ground, ignoring her own situation, and immediately looked at her son: "Niqiu, did you fall anywhere?"

Niqiu was the best at reading people’s faces. He took a sneaky look at Qiao Shuanzhu, who had a dark face, and didn’t dare to cry out loud anymore. His eyes full of tears, he choked out: "My head hurts."

Bai Cuilin was anxious when she heard her son’s words: "Let’s go, mom will take you to the doctor to get checked. It’s not okay if your head gets hurt."

Actually, she knew that her son was probably fine and just wanted to take the opportunity to leave quickly.

Anyway, the statement had already been made, and the police didn’t stop them.

However, by the time the family of three came out, the news that Niqiu from the Qiao family betrayed Director He’s two nephews for a bag of sweets had spread everywhere.

Niqiu, not realizing he had caused trouble for his parents, asked his mom as they left: "Where’s my candy?"

Qiao Shuanzhu wished he could find a hole to crawl into and never come out again.

Bai Cuilin, afraid her son might cry and fuss again, whispered soothingly: "I kept it in a safe place for you. I’ll bring it back tomorrow."

Niqiu originally intended to cry out loud a few times to show his unhappiness, but when he saw his dad’s deathly stare from behind, he immediately shut his mouth.

Bai Cuilin, feeling uneasy, found the doctor who had previously examined her son and ignored the patients waiting in line, cutting in directly: "Doctor, please help my son take a look. He just fell to the ground. Check if his head is injured?"
