Chapter 177 Once and For All

As it was getting dark, my uncle and aunt rushed over.

The eldest aunt started crying as soon as she saw Grandma Chen, "Father, Mother, help! My Yan Hong and Meng Fan, I don't know what happened, their legs are broken! What are we going to do? The villagers won't let us leave the village. We don't have any money to go to the hospital, Mother, what are we going to do..."

Shen's father asked curiously, "Didn't you say Shen Qing was doing really well? What's wrong? Didn't he send you any money?"

Grandpa Shen said seriously, "Third brother, say less. Business is important. Here's what we'll do: eldest brother, go find the village chief and take the police and the villagers to Yan Hong's house. Tell them that in order to prove your innocence, you're investigating Yan Hong's house first. Once everyone has no objections, take the two of them to the hospital. Wife, go get twenty yuan. As for what happens after that, we can't do anything about it."

My uncle felt like he had found a pillar of support and kept saying yes.

The aunt said with dissatisfaction, "What can you do with twenty yuan?"

Father Shen said softly, "It's enough to refine, and there's still some left over."

"Third son!" Grandma Shen rolled her eyes at Father Shen.

Father Shen shrugged and went back to his bed to continue lying down.

Seeing that her father wasn't going to help, Grandma Shen went to find her second uncle, intending to ask him to lend a hand, since both of them had broken legs and couldn't manage the work.

Children, they are all debts!

Finally, Grandma Shen secretly slipped another fifty yuan to Second Uncle, saying that she would help him if he was in a real emergency and couldn't come up with the money.

My second uncle readily agreed.

But before they could even leave, the case was solved.

The villagers' lost items were found at Shen Yanhong's house, and nothing was missing.

The police ultimately concluded that the two men had likely broken their legs because of theft.

After hearing the letter, Grandma Shen went to her second uncle to get the money back and said, "You shouldn't go either. It's freezing cold today. Don't let those heartless people make you freeze."

Jinran chuckled to herself, thinking that it seemed Shen Yanhong and Meng Fan would be able to get government jobs from now on.

Shen Cong and Shen Ming wanted to go and see, but Wang Cuifen stopped them, saying, "Don't add fuel to the fire. Look how upset your grandparents are. Just stay home and behave yourselves. No matter how unwilling you are to admit it, we and your uncle are family. Others may laugh at us, but we won't. Besides, if a fight breaks out, will you help or not? Just wait and see. You'll find out then."

Jinran pouted; she wanted to see it too.

Wang Cuifen pointed to Ji Ru's forehead, giving him a silent warning with her piercing eyes.

Jinran nodded reluctantly.

Finally, Jinran met her best friend, Da Hong.

"Nini, Shen Yanhong has been arrested. She's screaming wildly, saying she's innocent, that her legs were broken, and that someone is definitely targeting her. Then she implicated Zhang Hao, a former educated youth, saying that Zhang Hao was retaliating against her. When the police asked why she was retaliating, Shen Yanhong wouldn't say. Meng Fan's face is longer than my donkey's, it's unbearable to look at."

Jinran quickly asked, "And then? All the villagers' belongings were found? Is that all?"

Da Hong shook her head. "The villagers beat up your uncle's family of four and tried to kick them out. Some people suggested going to Grandpa Shen for justice, but my dad said that your family and their family had long since severed ties and were two unrelated families. That's when everyone remembered and let it go."

Jinran was relieved. Thank goodness!

Da Hong continued, "And you know what? When Shen Yan Hong heard that the police were going to detain her, she went crazy, saying that she was reborn and knew a lot about the future, and that she could use the information she knew as a bargaining chip. What kind of nonsense is that? But those policemen looked serious, and in the end, they arrested your uncle's family of four, and Zhang Hao too."

Jinran was speechless. She never dreamed that they would be caught in one fell swoop.

It was Shen Yanhong's own fault for bringing this upon herself; otherwise, she would have just suffered a minor setback. She was even thinking about how to deal with her next time, but unexpectedly, she got rid of the problem once and for all.
