If it weren't for Xie Linan and Lin Xinghua, the two of them would be really pitiful.

…

The next day, Zhang Yuanyuan took half a day off because she wanted to attend the trial.

After finishing the review in the morning, Zhang Yuanyuan came back to work in the afternoon and told Ye Xiaozhen the result.

"A five-year sentence is half the amount of ten years."

Huh? This surprised Ye Xiaozhen.

She thought it would take at least seven or eight years.

"How did you suddenly figure it out?"

"How could this be sudden? Isn't this your credit? Qian Jian said, I went home last night and thought about it all night, and I think what you said makes some sense. This slap between you and Ye Xiaochun is not something that you can do alone, both of you are responsible. You did contact the dealer and tried to sell Ye Xiaochun, and you were lucky not to go to jail, there was insufficient evidence.

So, she should have been sentenced to ten years, but after listening to you, she was willing to share the responsibility with Ye Xiaochun. Letting her go for five years means that she has taken half of the responsibility. "

so it is.

"Is the case over?"

"Yes, this is the best outcome. Ye Xiaochun will not appeal and will go to jail."

So, our story finally ends.

…

There is still a week before the college entrance examination, so the school specially gave us a day off.

When the two brothers-in-law came home, Ye Xiaozhen saw that their eye sockets were deeper, their eye circles were two shades darker, and they had lost a lot of weight.

Although they were sitting in the classroom, they looked dark and thin, and they looked listless.

Who says physical work is painful? Brain work is not much easier.

"Where are you two doing?" Xie Linan was also startled when he saw them.

"Nothing."

"Then why do you look like you haven't slept all day and night?"

"Alas! It's not the exam time, the teacher keeps a few of us who have a good chance alone to practice questions every night. I don't deserve this because I'm sleep deprived."

Lin Xinghua came out leaning on a crutch, and when he saw the appearance of his two little grandsons, he felt heartbroken.

He said, "Everyone wants to get into a good school, but you have to balance work and rest. It's tiring enough to go to class during the day, and then you have to go to evening self-study at night. After the evening self-study, you have to stay alone to practice questions. This is exhausting. Lin Xiao, Lin Qi, going to college is not the only way out. Be good and don't make yourself sick."

"Hey! Just bear with it a little longer. There's still a week until the exam."

Lin Xinghua said nothing more.

Xie Lin suddenly asked: "Yes, Grandpa, brother, is it...that girl coming back?"

Um?

Xie Linan looked at 놛, "Who said that?"

"My classmate said so, didn't he?"

Xie Linan frowned deeply.

Originally, I didn't want to let you know, at least not before the college entrance examination, because I was worried that those trivial things would affect your exams.

But unexpectedly, we still know it.

The place is so big, and we are not the only family with high school students.

There are high school students in this village and in the neighboring village, so it would be hard for this matter not to reach their ears.

Seeing that Xie Linan didn't say anything, Erzi asked again, "Brother, is that right?"

Xie Linan was silent and depressed.

Lin Xinghua beside him sighed and said, "Yes, she is back."

"Ah? Did she...did she come to see us?"

“I’ve been here.”

"Then why didn't you tell us?"

Xie Linan glanced at them, a little angry, clenched his fists tightly, and still didn't speak.

Ye Xiaozhen said, "We were worried that it would affect your exams, so we didn't tell you. Don't ask about it. Let's talk about it after the exams."

"This... But that woman dumped us. How can she have the nerve to come back and look for us now?"

Xie Linan said: "You are overthinking. She has never looked for you two. She has forgotten your names. Even if you stand in front of her, she won't recognize you."

Second: “…”

Both of them clenched their fists angrily.

Ye Xiaozhen said, "It's the same. Your brother went to see her a few days ago. He stood in front of her and chatted with her for a long time. She didn't even know who your brother was. She even asked if he was Grandma Liu's grandson or son."

Xie Linan, who was being dismantled: "..."

After hearing what Ye Xiaozhen said, Brother Xie Lin's expression looked better, and then he found it funny.

"Really? She forgot everything about us. She stood opposite us and didn't recognize us. Why did she come to us?"

"That's not right. Your family won't look for you, so don't ask about her. Just study hard."

"I don't mean to ask, brother. I'm just curious about what she is like and what she looks like. My brother and I have never seen her, and we want to see her."

"There are plenty of opportunities to see. I'll let you see it after your exams are over."

Xie Lin nodded and smiled bitterly: "Okay."

Xie Linan waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and have a rest. You finally got back. Don't read. Relax for a while. I'll meet you guys when it's time for dinner."

"good."

Xie Lin went upstairs first, while Xie Linqi was still standing there, hesitant to speak.

Xie Linan said tiredly: "Lin Qi, you should also go and rest. I know what you want to say, but I don't want to talk about that woman, and I don't want her to delay your exams."

Xie Linqi swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, responded obediently, and went upstairs.

After they both left, Ye Xiaozhen said, "I hope it won't affect your exams."

Xie Linan sighed and said, "My second brother is a little naughty. My second brother is always obedient and a little introverted, but he is also more thoughtful. My second brother's dissatisfaction is written on his face, but I am not worried about him. In fact, I am more worried about my second brother. He is like this, and tends to overthink."

"Now that we know, forget it and don't think about it. Just keep an eye on the girl in the village and don't let her cause trouble at school before the exam."

"Well, don't worry. I've got two people to keep an eye on her, and I've also informed the school. Even if she really goes, she won't be able to get into the school."

Give us brothers more living expenses this week so that we can eat and drink well.

Now that we are not short of money, the reason why Xie Linan still manages us and controls our expenses is that he is worried that our comparisons at school will affect our studies and outlook.

In fact, most people were relatively poor at that time, and students generally had low living expenses, but there were still some second-generation rich people from well-off families.

After having lunch and taking a short rest, we went back to school.

There is evening self-study in the evening and I have to prepare study materials in the afternoon. It is really not easy to go to school.

At noon, Xie Li called and asked about the two younger brothers.

"There's still a week until the exam. Let's get on the phone and I'll say a few words of encouragement."

Ye Xiaozhen said to her: "They have already returned to school."

"Ah? Aren't you going back to school after dinner?"

"That's what happened at the time, but we have an exam now, so we have to go back to school early to prepare materials, so we've already left."
