When he was in primary school, his teachers had already told Chen Hai this truth.
After leaving the Jinyuan Hotel, he only thought about it briefly and walked straight to the direction of the nearby police station.
Is it a criminal matter if his test scores are replaced? Or is it a civil matter? Chen Hai has no idea at all.
He can't even get through the gate of the county education bureau now.
After much deliberation, he couldn't think of anywhere else he could go to seek justice except the police station!
In the era he lived in, communication was inconvenient, information was opaque, and transportation was even worse.
Are you going to tell the city and the province what happened to you? Not just Chen Hai, but most people in the entire county probably don’t have such a concept in their minds!
To be honest, when people in this era encounter problems, they usually call on friends to resolve matters privately. Even calling the police is troublesome to them, and most of them are reluctant.
Chen Hai, who has always held the core values of socialism in his heart, went to the police station to call the police, which can be regarded as an effort to harmonize society.
"Police officer, shall I report the crime?"
"Identity? Name? What case?"
"My name is Chen Hai. I am a recent graduate of Class 103, the third year of Wuyang Town Middle School. My college entrance examination results were replaced by Liu Jian, the son of Liu Dagui from the town..."
"Is there any evidence?"
"No, officer, isn't it the duty of your police department to check evidence?"
"Are you questioning our work? Okay, we have already recorded your case."
"Whether it is true or not, we will investigate carefully. You go back first. If there is any news, we will inform you!"
…
In the police station, Chen Hai was delayed for more than half an hour.
At first, when he said he wanted to report a crime, the female police officer who took the note for him seemed quite polite.
At the back, after he said the name of Liu Dagui's son Liu Jian, a fat police officer with a beer belly, in order to show that he attached great importance to the matter, already signaled the female police officer to step aside and let him personally investigate the matter.
But somehow, Chen Hai always felt that the fat police officer looked at him a little strangely, as if he was looking at an idiot.
In the next two or three days, he went to the police station several times every day to check on the investigation progress of the case he reported.
It's a pity that people always asked him to go back and wait for news.
He ran over and asked too many times, but they became impatient and kept a straight face. They just didn't ask people to drive Chen Hai out directly.
Liu Dagui and his brothers have been able to act arrogantly and wantonly in Wuyang Town for so many years. Naturally, they will not have no foundation in the county.
A powerless country boy, he went to the police station to call the police and ask them to investigate Liu Dagui's family?
Chen Hai actually didn't have high hopes for this.
When he went to the police station, he just wanted to give it a try.
On the third day, Chen Hai, who had given up on the police station, got on the shuttle bus and returned to Wuyang Town.
Considering that he had been away from home for several days, Chen Hai did not stay in the town for long. He went straight to his home in Chenjiaping.
"Damn it, those gangs of robbers are just robbers..."
The door to the house is wide open.
As soon as Chen Haigang walked to the door, the sound of his mother Jiang Meixian's crying had already reached his ears.
On the floor of the hall, Jiang Meixian was sitting on the cold ground with her hair disheveled. On her face, there were still a few clear fingerprints that had not faded.
Cabinets, chairs, and tables were overturned on the floor, and the whole room was completely in a mess.
"Mom, what's going on? Who did it?" Chen Hai's eyes turned red when he saw this scene.
He took three steps and two steps at a time, walked to his mother Jiang Meixian, and carefully lifted her up.
"Xiao Hai, you are finally back!"
"Just now, Chen Erleng came over with a large group of people and said that our family's withdrawals from last year have not been paid in full."
"When I asked for repayment, those idiots didn't even give me a chance."
"Without saying anything, they just moved things. They just moved the TV you just bought a few days ago. They even put the rice in the rice vat in a snakeskin bag, so it was easy to move.
Clean and tidy.”
"It's still my family. This piece of shit like Chen Erlen has really become nothing more than a human being since he became a village official..."
As Jiang Meixian spoke, tears came from her nose and tears uncontrollably.
When others want to move their belongings, she naturally has to stop them violently, but as a woman, how can she be the opponent of a group of big men?
What's more, the group of people brought over by Chen Erleng this time, except for himself and another person, who were village cadres, the rest of the guys were all very powerful, and they looked like veterans of fighting.
The fingerprints on Jiang Meixian's face were the marks left by others on her face during the pulling process.
"Isn't it only July or August? In previous years, wasn't collection collection done at the end of the year?" Chen Hai asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face and eyes that seemed to be eating people.
"In previous years, collection was indeed done at the end of the year!" Jiang Meixian nodded.
Gritting her teeth, she added: "Our family did not pay all the agricultural taxes withheld from last year, and we still owe some."
"Under this guise, Chen Erleng wants to come here to collect the money at this time. What can we, ordinary people with no money and power, do?"
"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the emperor said that the workers, peasants and soldiers have stood up."
"But until now, in our Yanhuang Empire, the most miserable and tiring people are still the bottom peasants like us, and we are still kneeling!"
"Your father and I have told you a long time ago that if you stay in the countryside, with your face facing the loess and your back turned to the sky, you will suffer and be poor all your life, and you will have no choice but to be bullied by others!"
"For rural children, if they want to get out of the farm and get ahead, studying is the only way out."
"The hardships your dad and I endured don't want to happen to you again. You have to study hard. Your dad and I are willing to sell our blood to support you."
"But you bastard, you just don't live up to your expectations..."
Jiang Meixian sighed. After a few words, she looked like she hated him. She aimed at Chen Hai and started preaching again.
Chen Hai drooped his head and said nothing, and he was speechless.
It was only this month that Chen Erling suddenly brought someone over to collect the money. He didn't even give his mother a chance to make up the money and just started moving things. This was very abnormal.
Without thinking about it, Chen Hai knew that this must have something to do with Liu Dagui.
With Liu Dagui's status, as long as he says a word, Chen Er will be stunned and run very fast.
However, Jiang Meixian is worried that as long as Chen Hai understands these things, he will definitely not tell his mother truthfully.
After helping his mother Jiang Meixian sit down on a chair and pouring her a glass of cold water, Chen Hai silently began to clean up the mess at home.
