Chapter 684 Extortion
os, is one hour a little too short I'm afraid we won't find anything."Ganbo waved his hand and said: "Respected Mr. Ye, you don't know, we are a new mine, which was once a volcanic river in ancient ti..."Brother Ye, this is how things are..."
Zhu Jiay i began to tell the story. It turned out that Dong Qiang was her high school classmate, and they were both from the same village, living in Kaoshantun, fifty miles outside of Jiangbei City.
When Dong Qiang was in school, he had been pursuing Zhu JiaYi, but his looks were average and his character was worse, so his many confessions were rejected.
Until one day three years ago, a major event occurred.
Zhu Jiayì's family background is average, and her parents are ordinary farmers.
Mother Liu Guifen works on the farm and does housework at home, while father Zhu Baoguo goes to work in the city every day, leaving early and returning late.
Dong Qiang's father is named Dong Lizhu, and his mother is named Niu Yue'e. Both of them are not very good people and are notorious hooligans in the village.
Especially Dong Lizhu, who has a chronic problem with alcohol abuse and often gets drunk and causes trouble.
That night, Zhu Baoguo was riding his electric tricycle home from work when he saw Dong Lizhu lying in the ditch by the roadside, drunk.
It was winter at the time. Although winters in Jiangbei weren't as bitterly cold as those in Northeast China, spending a night outdoors could be fatal. You might not freeze to death, but you'd probably only have half a life left.
Since everyone lives in the same village, they see each other often.
The kindhearted Zhu Baoguo carried Dong Lizhu onto the electric tricycle's carriage, thinking about sending him home and keeping him from getting frostbite outside.
To his surprise, Dong Lizhu woke up soon after they set off. He had drunk too much and fell from the train compartment.
The original electric tricycle wasn't going fast, but unfortunately, the fall caused him to sustain a spinal injury and paralysis in his lower limbs.
"Having said that, Ye Bufan said, 'Even if he was injured, it's not your father's fault. It was an accident, and besides, if it wasn't for your dad, he probably would have frozen to death outside.'"
Zhu Jiayin shook her head and said, "That's how it goes in theory, but the Dong Lizhu family has always been a bunch of bullies. They often extort money from people for no reason, let alone when something like this happens."
Ye Bufan said, “They extorted your family”
Zhu Jiayi said: "At the beginning, Niu Yue'e came to my house crying and making a fuss, demanding 500,000 yuan in compensation."
Later, Dongqiang came back. Seeing that my family couldn't come up with so much money, he changed his terms: "Let me be your boyfriend, and I will cover all the daily expenses and school fees for your family. After you graduate from university, you have to marry me."
Ye Bufan said, "Such an unreasonable request, did your family agree to it"
Zhu Jiayi nodded, her expression mournful as she said: "Originally my parents disagreed to this marriage, but if we didn't agree, they would report it. My dad would be arrested for causing a traffic accident and have to serve two to three years in prison."
I couldn't bear to see my dad suffer, so I agreed. That's why I became his girlfriend.
Ye Bufan shook his head slightly, it seemed that being kind was often taken advantage of.
Originally, Zhu Baoguo was trying to help someone, but ended up being framed and treated this way. Even his daughter's happiness has been ruined because of it.
Zhu Jiayi said: "Precisely because of this, no matter how over the top Dong Qiang is, I can't break up with him. Today's incident shouldn't be reported to the police."
Once Dongqiang is caught, his family will definitely report it immediately, and then my father will also go to jail.
Ye Bufan had a good impression of this shy girl to begin with, and he was even less willing to see such a kind family constantly being extorted by hooligans.
He said, "Is your dad's situation that serious Even if the other party files a report, they wouldn't be arrested, right"
Zhu Jiayi said: "After the incident, I also asked people about it. Although my father wanted to save someone, the law doesn't care about human feelings. Regardless of what happened, he caused Dong Lizhu serious injuries. If we report it, it would be a traffic accident and he would be sentenced."
Ye Bufan said: "If Dong Lizhu's injury could be cured"
"If he could be cured, then my father wouldn't have to face legal consequences, and our family would no longer be threatened by them."
Zhu Jiayi then shook her head, "But over the years, our family has spent tens of thousands of yuan on Dong Lizi's medical treatment. We went to many big hospitals, and they all said that his spinal cord was injured and he would be destined to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, impossible to cure."
Ye Bufan nodded and stood up, saying, "Let's go, take me to Dong Lizhu's house."
Zhu Jiayi asked in surprise, "Brother Ye, what are you going to do"
"Cure Dong Lizhu so that your family can finally be free."
Zhu Jiayi exclaimed, "Brother Ye, are you kidding me"
Ye Bufan said: "Of course I'm not joking, I'm a doctor by profession, and my medical skills are quite good."
But Dong Lizhu's illness is very difficult to cure. We have been to many big hospitals, and the experts there have no way to treat it.
Ye Bufan said: "Don't worry, my medical skills are much better than experts. Besides, even if I can't cure it, I definitely won't make it worse."
“Oh, thank you, Brother Ye,” Zhu Jiayi said. “When shall we go”
Ye Bufan said, "Let's go now."
He took Zhu Jiayi back to Shengshi Beauty Company. Wang Xue凝's meeting hadn't finished yet, so he sent a message and drove out of the city.
Koushan Tun is about 50 miles away from the city center of Jiangbei City. While driving, the two people chat with each other.
"These years, your family must have spent a lot of money treating Dong Lizhu's illness, right"
Zhu Jiayi nodded: "Since Dong Lizhu got injured, their family hasn't done anything, completely relying on my dad to support them. These years, they haven't only spent a lot of money, but also borrowed a lot of debt."
"What about the tuition fees at your university" said Ye Bufan.
Zhu Jiayi said: "At the beginning, I supported both of us with my part-time job during the holidays, but it was too tiring, and I often got harassed by others."
Later, Xiaoting reminded me that I could try online streaming. I sing pretty well, maybe I could make some money from it.
I tried it according to her instructions, and it worked pretty well. At least I earned more than working a part-time job.
"At the beginning, things were a bit inconvenient living in the dorm. Now that I've moved out, Xiao Jing gave me a separate room, and the conditions are much better."
"You still have this ability How many fans do you have"
Zhu Jiayi blushed again habitually and said, "It's not much, about 100,000 yuan."
Ye Bufan raised a thumb: "This is already pretty good."
Two people chatted as they walked, and after half an hour they arrived at Keshantun. Because the village road was rather narrow, they parked their Maybach at the entrance and walked in.
They arrived at Dong Lizhu's house. The gate was open, and in the center of the courtyard was a mahjong table with four people seated around it playing mahjong.
Needless to say, the one sitting in a wheelchair is Dong Lizhu, who is paralyzed.
Beside him was a woman in her 50s, his wife Niu Yue'e. There was also a man and a woman, both relatives of his.
Next to the mahjong table, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman is carefully making tea and pouring water. This is Zhu Jiayi's mother, Liu Guifen.
According to Dong Lizhu's family, Zhu Baoguo goes out to work and earn money, while Liu Guifen stays at home to do laundry and cook, taking care of all the housework.
Seeing Zhu Jiayin enter the door, Liu Guifen was slightly taken aback and asked, "Girl, why are you back" underestimated the woman's inner desire for control."As for the consequences I'm here to let you know that the Su family isn't under your control anymore."If you insist on going your own way, then a...
