In the end, Lin Chunyan didn't say anything, but just nodded heavily.

Then Xu Weimin asked everyone else to leave, leaving only Xu Jingui behind.

"Son, there's nothing more I can do to help you. Remember, you must be careful in the future, especially avoid going against your uncle and his gang, understand?"

Xu Jingui knelt down in remorse and kowtowed to Xu Weimin: "Dad! I'm so sorry!"

He truly regrets it now. He regrets not being gentle enough when he hurt Wang Xiufen, and he also regrets provoking He Sanmei, which led to them discovering the courtyard.

Xu Weimin helped him up and said earnestly, "It's all fate. You didn't do it on purpose back then."

“We’ve fallen out with your uncle’s family. Even if we get away with it this time, they’ll find another opportunity to crush us next time.”

"From the moment I delivered the Little Red Book to your uncle's house, our two families have been locked in a life-or-death struggle."

Xu Weimin patted Xu Jingui on the shoulder: "I kept you here for two reasons. One is to warn you to try to live a low-key life from now on."

"Also, I have a batch of large yellow croakers hidden in the mountains of Xujia Village. This is our family's hope for turning our lives around."

"I'm telling you this because I don't know how long I'll be sentenced. If you need it, you can dig it out first to tide you over."

"But you must not tell anyone else, not even your grandparents, they can't keep things to themselves."

Xu Jingui looked at him with teary eyes, his affection for his son overflowing.

He always knew that Xu Weimin doted on him, which is why he felt emboldened and committed all sorts of evil deeds.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I'll take good care of the family from now on, and I'll wait for you to come back!"

In that instant, Xu Jingui felt he had become more sensible and mature. Unfortunately, the price of becoming sensible was far too high.

......

Xu Weimin originally thought he still had time to make arrangements. Unexpectedly, only a day later, Xu Weiguo came directly with his men, saying he wanted to arrest Xu Jingui.

"Xu Jingui is suspected of a murder case, and we are now arresting him in accordance with the law. This is our arrest warrant."

One of the police officers showed Xu Weimin, who was blocking the door, their official documents.

Xu Weiguo walked over and whispered in his ear, "I told you, I'll let you enjoy your last moments together. Xu Jingui will be going back in soon."

"What, I thought you should have been mentally prepared."

Xu Weiguo waved to the people behind him: "Go in and arrest them. Anyone who dares to obstruct the operation will be treated as an obstruction of official business and taken away with them!"

"How dare you! You unfilial son!"

Grandma Xu rushed straight at Xu Weiguo, cursing and hitting him at the same time.

"You heartless bastard! You actually laid a hand on your own nephew! If you still consider me your mother, then you'd better take your people and leave right now!"

"I raised you all these years, and this is how you treat me?! Huh?! You ungrateful wretch!!!"

Xu Weiguo didn't want to argue with his grandmother, but when she used the word "ungrateful wretch," he was deeply hurt.

He gripped Grandma Xu's hands tightly and said disappointedly, "If I'm an ingrate, then what are you?"

“From childhood to adulthood, you have always favored Xu Weimin. That’s fine, I believe I have a clear conscience towards you, but you are still not satisfied.”

"Xu Jingui made a mistake himself, so why are you blaming me?! Did I force him to kill someone?!"

Grandma Xu looked at Xu Weiguo, not listening to a word he said.

He continued, defiantly shouting, "I don't care! If you want to take Jin Gui away, then you'll have to step over me first!"

Xu Weiguo looked around, and the people he brought with him all stopped, unsure of his attitude.

Grandpa Xu and Xu Weimin were watching his expression. They seemed to think that if Grandma Xu intervened, the matter could be resolved.

Unfortunately, they are going to be disappointed.

"Since you care about Xu Jingui so much, then go with him. Take them both!"

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the other police officers quickly sprang into action. Two of them subdued Grandma Xu, while several others prepared to enter the room to arrest people.

Seeing that Xu Weiguo was not even giving face to Grandma Xu, Xu Weimin stepped forward and scolded, "She has not committed any crime, you have no right to arrest her, let her go!"

The two policemen looked at each other, then finally looked at Xu Weiguo, awaiting his instructions.

Xu Weiguo didn't really intend to take Grandma Xu away, so he signaled for them to release her.

However, he warned, "We have the right to arrest people if they obstruct official business."

Grandma Xu wanted to continue scolding him, but Xu Weimin stopped her.

After Xu Jingui was taken away by them, Xu Weimin immediately went out as well.

Steel Plant Staff Quarters

Aunt Wang waited for Chen Zhaodi at her doorstep as soon as she was about to get off work.

Upon seeing her, he immediately said, "I asked them, and Wang Yingxue and the others said we can meet anytime."

"However, they want you to go to the village; they say they don't have the money to go to the city..."

Aunt Wang sounded a little guilty as she said this. Generally speaking, when a couple from the city and the village are looking for a partner, they will choose to meet in the city.

Saying that you don't have money to go to the city gives the impression that you've already rejected the marriage proposal.

But Wang Yingxue and her uncle's family seemed very eager, as if they were particularly desperate to marry her off.

Aunt Wang felt that there was something strange about their family, but when she asked her own family, Wang Yingxue really didn't have any problems.

Even her mother patted her chest and said that Wang Yingxue's uncle's family were all kind and honest people, assuring her that she could introduce them without worry.

However, Aunt Wang didn't quite believe it. After all, Wang Yingxue was really too thin, and she had personally witnessed Wang Yingxue working. Could it be fake?

Chen Zhaodi also felt it was a bit strange to go to the countryside for a matchmaking meeting. However, it wasn't a big problem, so she agreed.

"Either is fine, but as you know, we're only available on weekends, so we'll have to trouble you to make a trip and arrange for us to meet her on the weekend."

Seeing that Chen Zhaodi didn't mind the location of the matchmaking, Aunt Wang felt relieved.

Aunt Wang happily replied, "No trouble at all! I'll arrange for you to meet this week!"

After saying that, she indicated that she was going back, but Chen Zhaodi quickly called out to her, "Wait for me a moment!"

Then he packed a small bag of dried longan and handed it to Aunt Wang, saying, "You've gone to so much trouble to run around like this. Take these dried longan home and eat them; they're not worth much."

"Okay, then I won't be polite, hehe."

Aunt Wang carried the dried longan fruit home, completely satisfied.
