"But now, you must acknowledge me as your nephew, and Li Qingtong must acknowledge me as his cousin."

Liu Hongyi spoke slowly and in a low voice.

According to his instructions, Huang Suo and others were waiting in the yard and did not come in.

He just didn't want "outsiders" to hear these words.

"Because I beat up Gou Hongwei at the Chinese Medicine Hospital just now, and Chief Huang from the police station is right outside. If I have no connection to your family, then this matter will not end well."

He had no plans to reveal his true identity to Li Qingtong's mother for the time being. If he rashly revealed his identity before gaining her basic trust, it would only make her more suspicious.

After all, it always makes people feel uneasy when a big shot like him, who is so "high and mighty", comes to recognize his relatives for no reason.

Mother Li's face showed an expression of immense hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "The one who bullied my Tongtong must be that brat Gou Hongbing again? He's the only one so bored... bullying my Tongtong every day..."

"it's him!"

Li Qingtong whispered from the side, his face also full of anger.

"Then, what if you beat up Gou Hongwei? He's a member of the police station's joint defense team..."

"Don't worry about it. I told you I'm from the military. I'll handle this. The military will also intervene. Just remember one thing: no matter who comes, just say I'm your cousin's son. Remember my name, Liu Hongyi."

In fact, there is no need for Mother Li to confirm this matter. The entire Zhongyi Road Police Station is in a panic now. Who dares to get to the bottom of it?

As long as Liu Hongyi doesn't pursue the matter, they will be thankful.

Liu Hongyi was just looking for a reason so that the mother and daughter of the Li family would naturally accept his help in the future, and so that the neighbors of the Li family would not dare to bully them again.

"Oh, well..."

After all, Mother Li was not the naive Li Qingtong. She immediately understood the key point and agreed repeatedly.

"Auntie, I want to ask, where is Li Qingtong's father?"

Mother Li looked ashamed and said sheepishly, "He's in jail...for theft, sentenced to six years."

"What kind of thing was stolen that was punished so severely?"

Liu Hongyi was a little surprised.

A six-year sentence for theft is considered a relatively heavy sentence.

"They stole money, food coupons, and some copper wire..."

Liu Hongyi nodded slightly.

This version was completely different from what he remembered, so there was no need to delve into it further.

"What about you, do you have a job?"

"I used to work in a factory on the street as a temporary worker... but then they fired me. I don't really care. I should have died a long time ago. But I just can't bear to leave my son Tongtong..."

As she spoke, the weak woman began to cry and sob.

These words made Liu Hongyi's heart move. His intuition told him that there might be some hidden secrets. He had not originally intended to get to the bottom of it, but now it seemed necessary to find out more.

"Auntie, what's going on? Tell me."

Mother Li couldn't help but sigh and said, "Actually, Tongtong's father did this for me... I... I had a serious illness two years ago. Although I was barely cured, I still have some underlying illness... Her father saw how weak I was and wanted to get me some nutritious food to nourish me. Our family is poor... We don't have a good family background, and we're all temporary workers with low wages... He got carried away and stole money and food coupons... It's all my fault. I'm the one who's dragging this family down..."

She wiped away tears as she spoke.

Liu Hongyi nodded slightly.

Although this is only one side of the story, looking at Mother Li's expression, it doesn't seem like she is lying.

In this case, it is understandable.

Of course, no matter what Li Qingtong's parents are like, it will not affect his "positioning" of Li Qingtong.

"Auntie, I have a basic understanding of your family's situation. I will try to get hardship allowance for you."

The Civil Affairs Bureau also has subsidy policies for the urban poor.
