Yufang and Lian Xiaomin gave the things they brought to Xiaolingzi and sat on the kang to look at the well-behaved baby.

The little kid is awake and not making any noise. He just lies there doing his own thing. He is chubby and white, so cute.

Lian Xiaomin likes the baby the most. She touched the baby's little feet. The baby kicked her twice, not seeming to be happy about it. Its chubby little legs kept moving.

It's so healing. I think of my younger brother who is tanned like a charcoal head, and my younger sister who has started to act naughty.

Well, babies are more fun.

When Xu Aixia saw the basket of eggs they held and Xiaomin took out two cans of food, she was deeply moved, as such thoughtfulness was rare.

"You two are here to play in the county town. My home is like your own home. Why do you bring such precious things? Lingzi, we have big apples at home. Wash a few for everyone to eat..."

"...Hey, Yufang, Xiaomin, I'm going to be honest with you. If you two had come here yesterday, our house would have been a completely different place. Don't even mention it..."

Yufang nodded: "Sister-in-law, actually I ran into Sister Xiaoqiu yesterday and sat in her dormitory for a while. Then I learned that something happened in your family. How is it now? My brother Shenglin..."

"He's sleeping in the next room! The matter is settled! Let me tell you in detail..."

Lian Xiaomin thought to herself, it's true that when people are happy, their mental outlook is completely different.

According to Xiaoqiu yesterday, her elder sister was almost worried to death while she was in confinement after giving birth. She was so worried for several days that she couldn't even swallow her food. She forced herself to stay strong for the sake of the child.

Looking at Xu Aixia now, with a happy expression on her face, you can tell that Zhang Shenglin is completely fine.

I listened quietly as she continued to talk. It turned out that Zhang Shenglin was sent home by people from the police station in a jeep at four o'clock yesterday morning.

At this hour, it was still dark and the family was really startled by the knock on the door.

As a result, when the 14-year-old eldest son Zhang Wenhai went out to open the door, he found out that it was his father who came back. He was so excited.

Zhang Shenglin returned home safely, and everyone got up as well.

These days, Xiao Lingzi, Xu Aixia and the baby "Niuzi" have been living in the main house for easy care.

Everyone got up and turned on the lights, put on their clothes, and let Zhang Shenglin in to talk.

Zhang Shenglin comforted his wife and children, saying that nothing was wrong with him, everything had been investigated clearly, and the matter had come to an end.

He only said that the leaders of the Public Security Bureau were very efficient and had obtained criminal evidence of Yang Youjiang's corruption.

After overnight arrests and thorough investigations, all the corrupt officials were caught.

After interrogation, Yang Guocai quickly confessed everything, saying that it was a trap designed by them father and son.

Yang Youjiang instructed him to use his relationship with Xu Aiqiu to deliberately get close to Zhang Shenglin's family, secretly plant false evidence, frame him, and find a "scapegoat" to take the blame.

Now that the truth has come to light, Zhang Shenglin has been completely cleared of suspicion. After cooperating with the investigation last night, he was sent back safely.

As Xu Aixia recounted the simple story, her voice choked up a little at the end.

"Alas, I am thirty-three years old now, and I finally got rid of those three bald guys and welcomed a sweet and soft little girl, 'Niu Zi'. I never thought that my family would encounter such a big injustice. I have been so depressed these past few days."

"…Now it's all right. It's really a relief! Yang Youjiang and his son are such a swindler! It's a pity that my dad didn't help him before he retired!"

It turns out that Xu Aixia's father, Xu Yingbin, was the director of the county grain station and the top leader before his retirement.

But his health was very poor and he retired early due to illness.

Deputy station chief Yang Youjiang secretly went to Xu's house and gave him a lot of gifts, including gold bars hidden among the gifts. He hoped that Xu Yingbin would help him talk to the higher-ups and promote him to station chief.

However, Xu Yingbin is a fair and selfless person, and because of this incident, he thinks this person is not a good person.

The gift was definitely rejected, and the "favor" was flatly refused.

Later, after investigation and decision by superiors, a new stationmaster, Tong Weiye, was transferred from the province to replace the retired Xu Yingbin.

At this point, Yang must have thought that Xu Yingbin had tripped him up behind the scenes and he failed to get promoted.

In fact, Xu Yingbin didn't do anything unnecessary. Stationmaster Tong was very capable, and he was well-deserved to be transferred here by the province.

If it weren't for the incident today where Yang Youjiang and his son framed Zhang Shenglin and specifically found Xu Yingbin's eldest son-in-law to be the "scapegoat", it would be unclear why this person has such a strong sense of resentment.

When Zhang Shenglin got into trouble a few days ago, he asked his family not to let his father-in-law know about it first, as he was still in the hospital. What should we do if something happens urgently? Let's see how the situation develops first.

You have a clear conscience and you should believe in the organization. They will definitely investigate the matter and clear your name.

Everyone was chatting and sighing.

Lian Xiaomin thought that Zhang Shenglin didn't tell his family, and he was even knocked unconscious by a masked man. Maybe they only report good news and not bad news, so it seems that he didn't mention this.

However, as long as it's nothing serious, it's okay not to mention it.

Before she knew it, it was almost noon and Xiao Lingzi got up to cook.

Xu Aixia said that she would wait for Zhang Wenhai to come home soon and ask him for help, and they would kill the chicken at home together for lunch.

The three little brothers went to school and haven't come back yet. They will be home soon.

At this time, Zhang Shenglin, who had been sleeping in the next room, got up. He just walked to the door and heard the voice and said, "Don't wait for that kid, I'll kill the chicken."

He didn't go into the house as it was too crowded, so he stood at the door and greeted Yufang.

Yufang introduced Lian Xiaomin to Brother Shenglin.

When Zhang Shenglin heard Xiaomin's name, he said, I know!

Xie Ling talks about this stuff every day. Haha, she is a powerful figure in Sandaogou. The eldest niece of Xiang Hai and Qiu Ping has extraordinary kung fu and is very powerful.

Lian Xiaomin greeted her second uncle, but didn't talk much, and he went to slaughter a chicken.

He looks in good spirits and looks relaxed.

About twenty minutes later, the three boys chattered as they walked into the yard, heading home from school at noon.

Xie Ling and Yufang stood in the yard and introduced them one by one. Zhang Wenhai was fourteen years old, Zhang Wentao was ten years old, and Zhang Wenqin was seven years old.

They all greeted their cousin Yufang and sister Xiaomin. The three children all had dark circles under their eyes, but when they saw that there was stewed chicken for lunch at home, they all grinned.

In fact, Zhang Shenglin's family conditions were pretty good. The clothes of his three sons had very few patches, and they were all dressed cleanly and stood upright.

At noon, everyone put the kang table together in the house and served stewed chicken with potatoes in a large bowl. Xie Ling also fried two dishes. Sorghum rice and millet rice were cooked, and everyone gathered together to eat.

Zhang Shenglin spoke without any airs, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Lian Xiaomin didn't eat until after ten o'clock, and she was full. Actually, she wasn't very hungry, so she just ate a little.

Zhang Shenglin joked that if you want to eat with three bald guys, you have to fight for food, so Xiaomin and Yufang should not be reluctant to leave, just like Xie Ling, it’s up to you!
