Chen Dashun's face turned pale, and his eyes instantly lost their luster.

"No, don't arrest my son, officer, please. He is still young and he just made a small mistake."

Ashun's mother ran forward in panic, stood in front of her son, and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

Zhai Meng remained unmoved and said calmly: "He didn't make a mistake, he broke the law. Besides, he is not a child anymore. As an adult, he should be responsible for his own actions."

"No--"

Ah Shun's mother's voice became shrill, and she opened her arms like a hen protecting her chicks, shouting hysterically: "I only have this one son, and as long as I am here, no one of you can take him away."

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Although the villagers all thought that Ah Shun deserved it, the look on his mother's face at that moment was still hard to bear.

As the saying goes, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

If I had known this, why didn’t I educate my son properly? Instead, I just spoiled and protected him blindly, which led to the disastrous consequences today step by step.

"Wife, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, Chen Baomin's hoarse voice sounded.

"Husband, our son..."

Ashun's mother looked at her husband and burst into tears.

"It's too late to say anything now. We were wrong for not teaching him how to be a good man!"

Chen Baomin's eyes were also blurred with tears, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.

When the time came, he realized his mistake and regretted not setting a good example as a father and letting his son go astray.

Ashun's mother turned around and looked at her son.

“Son!!”

"How could this happen? Why? This is impossible..."

Ah Shun didn't hear his mother's words at all. He just lowered his head and talked to himself as if he was possessed.

At this moment, he was deeply regretful.

But what I regret is not that I shouldn't have done such a thing, but that I shouldn't have moved the TV before I found anything valuable.

You shouldn't be so smart as to bury the TV in the ground behind the house.

Suddenly, a scene that surprised everyone happened.

Ashun's mother took two steps forward and knelt down.

This kneeling was in front of Chen Wang who was standing next to Zhai Meng.

Fortunately, Chen Wang reacted in time and moved to the side to avoid it.

"Awang, I beg you, please let A Shun go this time. We can give you money, or you can give us a condition. We can agree to any condition. I just ask you not to let him go to jail. You are from the same village, and you are about the same age... Please."

Ashun's mother begged with tears in her eyes.

Chen Wang frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Chen Baomin couldn't bear to see his wife like this, so he turned his head away and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

"Get up first, don't do this."

Zhai Meng pretended to help her stand up.

"No, I won't get up, Awang, please forgive my A Shun, please."

Ashun's mother broke free from Zhai Meng's hand and pleaded stubbornly.

Now many villagers can’t help but sigh when watching this scene.

"What are you doing? Get up!!"

The village chief scolded with a stern face.

"village head……"

Ashun's mother looked at the village chief pitifully.

"He's almost thirty years old. If he does something wrong and still needs you, his mother, to kneel down and beg for mercy, how can he still have the face to live?"

The village chief pointed at Ah Shun and questioned him bluntly.

When Ah Shun heard this, he trembled all over.

"He has come to this point today because of you and your wife."

"Last time I rescued them from the mountains, I told you that you should discipline him well and find him something to do. Don't let him idle around anymore, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later."

"What about you? You treated what I said as bullshit and now you are crying and pretending to be pitiful. What's the point?"

"Even if Ah Shun forgives him this time, can you guarantee that he won't do it again? This time it was stealing, what about next time? Will he kill someone?"

The village chief's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was as sharp as a knife.

"No, no... Village Chief, please don't say that. We will teach him well in the future."

Ashun's mother burst into tears.

"Bullshit! He won't change unless he pays the price and doesn't feel the pain!!"

When the village chief said this, his voice became a little hoarse.

Ashun's mother was no longer able to refute. She just knelt on the ground, covering her face with her hands and crying.

"Mom, please get up!"

Suddenly, Ah Shun's calm voice sounded.

Ashun's mother turned her head and looked at her son with sobs.

"The village chief is right. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. I did something wrong, so I should pay the price. If I let you do this for me, I will only feel worse."

As Ah Shun spoke, his eyes turned red. He glanced at his father over there, then knelt down, kowtowed three times, raised his head and said, "Dad, Mom, take good care of yourselves. When your son comes out, I will be filial to you."

“Son…”

Ashun's mother burst into tears again.

Chen Baomin turned his head away and wiped his tears desperately.

"good!!!"

The village chief suddenly cheered loudly, nodded with a look of satisfaction on his face, and said, "Ah Shun, the fact that you can say such things shows that you are not hopeless yet, and you still have some conscience. Don't worry, based on what you said, the villagers will not do anything to your parents."

The villagers also echoed.

"This is the prodigal son's return!"

"Go in and reform yourself, and come out early to be filial to your parents!"

"Ah Shun, after all these years, I finally see you acting like a man."

"This is what the masters of our Chenjia Village are like. People are not afraid of doing wrong things, but they are afraid of not repenting."

…

Ah Shun stood up without saying a word, walked forward to help his mother up, and bent down to brush the dust off her knees.

“Son…”

Ashun's mother hugged her son tightly and cried bitterly.

Ah Shun gently patted his mother's back and said to Ah Wang, "Ah Wang, I have always been jealous of you. I am jealous that you have gradually changed from a fool to a person praised by everyone."

"How can I not envy you? Having parents who love you so much, if possible, I would rather my parents were still alive, so that I could be a carefree fool who just eats and waits for death."

Chen Wang said with a chuckle.

As soon as these words came out, Ashun was stunned.

Including Lin Xiuqin and the little girl, many women present couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

"You're right. I was too stupid before. Really too stupid."

Ah Shun cried and laughed, lowered his head and kissed the hair on his mother's head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mom, you and Dad must be fine, I will definitely reform myself and come back as soon as possible."

After saying that, he let go of his mother and looked at Zhai Meng beside him.

"Officer, let's go."

"good!"

Zhai Meng smiled and nodded.

Then the two police officers took Ashun away.

During the whole process, Ashun never looked back at his parents.
