A Simple Divination, Confession And Punishment

25

Lin Jiahua pushed up his glasses, which were already broken on one side, with an awkward expression, "I'm sorry for causing you unnecessary worry during this period of time."

　　Zhang Jiande looked at the wounds on Lin Jiahua's body and kept smoking in annoyance.

　　Chu Yuening quickly helped Lin Jiahua park the stall, stared at the wound on Lin Jiahua's exposed arm, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

　　The usually noisy Ashanpo also quieted down. She looked at Lin Jiahua's injury, returned to the fruit stall to get the medicine box, and pulled Lin Jiahua to sit on the stool on the stall to clean his wound.

　　Lin Jiahua was surrounded by good neighbors and smiled, "Don't worry, it's been two days, the wound has almost healed, it just looks scary."

　　"Two days?" Chu Yuening blinked and realized, "You're talking about what happened two days ago now?"

　　"Ahua, how did you end up like this?" Ashanpo sighed repeatedly, "You should have told us earlier."

　　Zhang Jiande took off his cigarette holder, looked away when he saw Lin Jiahua's wound, "Your parents are really cruel."

　　Chu Yuening helped Lin Jiahua take out the milk tarts and put them on the table. She turned her head and asked, "Are they really your parents?"

　　"You misunderstood." Lin Jiahua shook his head, "It's not them."

　　"If it's not them, who else could it be?" Zhang Jiande was full of anger. "You have a peaceful temper and don't cause trouble. What happened to make you be beaten like this?"

　　Lin Jiahua looked exhausted and said, "It's a gang."

　　Black society?

　　Everyone's heart sank. Although the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established in Hong Kong in 1974, the influence of the underworld in Hong Kong was not that great, but there are still corrupt policemen who accept bribes, and the forces are complicated.

　　Once ordinary people get involved with gangs, they can't expect to have a good life for the rest of their lives.

　　"What's going on?"

　　As Zhang Jiande continued to ask questions, Lin Jiahua slowly told the story.

　　It turned out that Lin Jiahua's parents fell in love with stock speculation. After winning a lot of money, they tasted the sweetness. In order to get a higher return, they received the so-called insider information. In order to make a fortune, they borrowed high-interest loans from the black society.

　　As a result, the stocks they bought collapsed and Lin Jiahua's parents lost all their money.

The loan sharks came to collect the debts, and Lin's parents had no money to pay back. The gang threatened to chop off Lin's parents' hands and feet, so Lin's parents said that she had a son who sold milk tarts in Temple Street.

　　Lin Jiahua was tricked back home by his two sisters, and the gang beat him up in order to make him pay. All the private money that Lin Jiahua had saved with great effort was taken away.

　　Chu Yuening looked at Lin Jiahua's forced smile and naturally understood why he saved the private money. He only wanted to maintain a good family and support his two younger sisters. However, his parents always dragged their feet. Not only did they borrow high-interest loans, but they also wanted to cheat their son in the end?

　　She couldn't help getting angry.

　　I have already put a big X on my impression of the Lin family's parents, whom I have never met.
