If Qin Jiqun went stealing with Feng Dayong, he would be sent to prison right along with him. Qin Zhonghui had a somewhat soft personality and always tended to see the best in people, but when it came to matters of principle, he had firm boundaries.
He said, "If he really broke the law, then I'll disown him as my brother!"
So, did Qin Jiqun actually get involved?
Feng Dayong used to have two cronies who committed crimes with him. But at the beginning of the year, one of them had his leg broken and was crippled. The other got into some shady business with his own sister-in-law, and his brother beat him so badly he fled town and didn't dare come back.
'A bunch of wimps!'
But Feng Dayong couldn't pull off even petty theft by himself. On top of that, he was tight on cash lately, so he tried to persuade Qin Jiqun to join him.
Qin Jiqun had no idea at first. But as soon as he heard they were going to rob his second brother's house, he immediately shook his head and refused.
