Chapter 21 The Old Lady Throwing a Tantrum

A vicious robbery occurred around the county town, attracting everyone's attention. The police got the news from Lu Xiang and immediately went to investigate the letter. Sure enough, they found the chicken feather letter she wrote in a group of wastebaskets.

When I opened it, I found that Lu Xiang had already explained the whole cause and effect!

A temporary worker from the local department said, "What's wrong?" with a nonchalant look. People like him who are lazy in government agencies are just here to get by and don't care what the person who wrote the letter said.

The temporary worker was still drinking tea and holding a teacup, looking so relaxed that the police officer was almost furious: "After receiving this letter, why didn't you report it?"

The temporary worker said nonchalantly: "Oh, I thought it was a small matter. We get letters like this every day. Who knows whether they are true or false? Besides, we don't have enough staff here, so we can't verify them one by one!" His excuses were very obvious.

The police were furious. Knowing they couldn't convince the man, they called their supervisor and reported the incident. They repeatedly emphasized, "If we had reported it earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

Their driver almost died there. He was bleeding profusely after being stabbed. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise he would have lost his life.

Drivers are a skilled trade these days, and few can drive large vehicles. When something went wrong, the entire grain depot was left without a driver, and work was at a standstill. They had no choice but to second drivers from outside. The problem was, even after hearing about the situation, the seconded drivers were unwilling to come.

The supervisor's head was sweating. The highway robbery had already alarmed the entire city, yet someone had blown the whistle earlier, but it had been suppressed. He, as a leader, couldn't escape blame for this blunder. He said, "Rest assured, comrade. I will deal with this matter seriously! We will actively rectify the situation."

I also wrote down Lu Xiang's name and planned to write a letter of commendation or something like that.

Every department in the county was working overtime. At night, with the lights on inside the police station, Aunt Lu was still resisting, saying, "I don't know anything about this. You brought me here! You have to send me back!" The police asked many questions about Lin Mu.

How could Aunt Lu dare to say anything nonsense? Lin Mu was the man who was going to be shot. Even if she was confused, she knew that she couldn't have anything to do with Lin Mu.

The police continued the investigation and interrogation until the next day. The police officers in the station were almost exhausted and their eyes were bloodshot.

The police found the receipt provided by Lin Mu, saying that the gold bracelet was with Aunt Lu.

When the police asked about it, Aunt Lu insisted that she did not have the item and cried and shouted that she was being wronged.

The police had seen many people like her who spoke incoherently. Without further ado, they took her back for a search. Aunt Lu was relieved, knowing the gold bracelet had long been hidden somewhere secret.

…

Everyone in the village had just gone to work, leaving only Lu Xiang and her mother-in-law, Xiao Cailian, at home. As they were about to clean up the house, they heard someone outside yelling and cursing, using vulgar language.

Lu Xiang comes out.

Grandma Lu said, "Hurry up and call the police to bring your aunt back, otherwise I will never forgive you." She got up early to cause trouble for Lu Xiang, and deliberately avoided the Fu family.

Lu Xiang said, "It was the police who took them away. Why don't you go find the police? There's no point in finding me! If you have some free time, go get some work. Don't act like an old man and make trouble all day long."

Grandma Lu was so angry that she almost fell over after hearing what Lu Xiang said. She had always held a high position in the family, and being told that by her granddaughter made her lose face. She cursed, "You are such a jinx! If it weren't for you, why would she go looking for Lin Mu? I don't care, you have to bring her back to me!"

Xiao Cailian couldn't stand it anymore and said, "If she didn't break the law, why did the police arrest her? You don't reflect on yourself and let others come to make trouble. She deserves to be arrested by the police! If you dare to make a scene here again, I will chase you away with a broom." She used to respect her because Grandma Lu was an elder, but now she gets angry just looking at her.

Xiao Cailian said, "It's a good thing that my Fu Qinhui didn't marry Lu Zhaodi, otherwise he would be implicated too. Get lost."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone running to find Grandma Lu and saying that Aunt Lu and the police had returned.

Grandma Lu was extremely angry at the injustice she suffered from Xiao Cailian, and she also wanted to know how her daughter-in-law was doing now. The two of them started to quarrel, and her face turned pale with anger. She said, "Just wait for me!" before leaving.

Xiao Cailian spat on the ground, "You disrespectful old man." Then she took Lu Xiang's hand and said, "Stop working. Let's go and see what's going on."

It wasn't just one family that wanted to see the excitement. By the time Lu Xiang and her mother-in-law arrived, there were already quite a few people there! Seeing the police enter the house and start rummaging around, Grandma Lu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Hey! This is our house, what are you doing?"

Seeing that she was an elderly woman, the police said angrily: "We are carrying out our mission!"

Grandma Lu was usually quite afraid of the police, but she felt embarrassed to have her house searched in front of so many people. She blocked the door and said, "No, you can't go in!" Then she started rolling on the ground. This trick is always successful for old ladies in rural areas.

But the police didn't tolerate her.

Seeing her start to throw a tantrum, the police immediately signaled to the people next to them, and two people immediately restrained Grandma Lu and carried her aside to continue the search.

Grandma Lu was noisy and noisy, and it was a mess here.

Seeing Lu Xiang also came to watch the fun, Lu Zhaodi said to Lu Xiang, "Don't be so proud. You will cry sooner or later!" When she married and became a millionaire in the county, she would not help Lu Xiang even if she begged her.

Lu Xiang rolled her eyes at her, feeling that Lu Zhaodi seemed to be seriously ill: "You'd better take care of your mother."

Lu Zhaodi was tricked and then complained to the police, saying that Lu Xiang had a grudge against them and might have reported her mother.

The policeman said, "We are acting according to the evidence and will not wrongly accuse a good person!" After that, he politely asked Lu Zhaodi to step aside.

Aunt Lu's expression flickered. Grandma Lu said, "You must restore my home to its original state!"

The village chief heard the news and came over. He ignored the clamoring Lu family and went to talk to the police! At this moment, seeing that Aunt Lu's face suddenly turned bad, one of the policemen said, "Found it." He found a package next to the stove and opened it to see a golden bracelet.

This is what the police are looking for, and then they will take Aunt Lu back to the police station to write a report.

Grandma Lu had never known there were bracelets in her family's stove pit. She was dumbfounded: "What's going on?"

The police officer said, "She helped Lin Mu hide the stolen goods. She is an accomplice!"

The eldest aunt turned pale with fear: "Someone wronged me."

The policeman said impatiently: "Whether it is unjust or not, the law will have its own rules!"

Then Aunt Lu was taken away.

The Lu family was in a mess.

The surrounding villagers were talking about it.
