Chapter 93 As Expected, Yet Unexpected

"mom?!"

Li San's sister-in-law froze, staring blankly at her own mother who had splashed all the dirty water on her, and blurted out instinctively, "It wasn't me..."

"How could it not be you? It was you! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Zhou's father flew into a rage, pointing at Li San's wife and shouting for the police, "It was her! She picked up a stool and hit her husband on the head! She killed him! Officer, this has nothing to do with my little Bao!"

"dad?!"

Zhou's mother slapped Zhou's father and whispered, "What are you doing? If you fall out with her now, what if she refuses to go to jail for her brother? Then we'll have no son."

"How dare she! She's a worthless piece of trash. If we hadn't fed her and raised her, where would she have a good life? She has to go to jail for her brother!" Zhou's father said angrily.

Although Zhou Xiaobao's hands were handcuffed, he was not afraid at all.

Even if Li Sansao was simple-minded, she understood what her parents meant: they wanted her to confess in exchange for her younger brother.

It's one thing for her to be willing, but it's quite another for her parents to force her to die.

Suddenly, Li Sansao remembered her parents-in-law's words, and looking at her family members arguing and threatening to use her as a shield to kill her, she suddenly felt all her strength drain away.

"You don't need to argue anymore. I admit it. The one who's unwilling isn't me, it's the Li family."

Zhou's father and mother both turned to look at her and asked, "Why are they unwilling? This is originally a family matter of the Li family, and has nothing to do with our Zhou family."

Mr. Zhou looked at the police officer and said, "Officer, did you hear that? She admitted it herself. It was her who did it, not our Xiaobao. Please take off the handcuffs and let us go..."

"Quiet!"

The head police officer looked serious as he scanned them one by one. “The truth is not what you say. Take them back and interrogate them separately.”

“We’re not going. We didn’t kill them, so why are you arresting us?” Zhou’s father shouted.

The lead policeman raised his hand and waved, and two policemen immediately stepped forward and pinned down Zhou's father, who was trying to run away.

"We have witnesses and physical evidence, the evidence is irrefutable. You attempted murder for money and tried to flee and hide. Your behavior is heinous. Take them all away!"

Zhou's mother also struggled to run away, but was stopped by the police. She turned around and ran to Li San's wife, beating her mercilessly. "It's all your fault! I told you to just dig a hole and bury him, and when you went back you could just say he went to the city. His disappearance wouldn't have anything to do with us. But you insisted on carrying him back. Now look what happened! The whole family has been arrested. You slut, you whore, you're so greedy for a man's flesh. I should have sold you into a brothel..."

"mom?!"

Li Sansao was so dizzy from the beating that her knees, which had been kneeling for too long, were kicked by Zhou's mother. She groaned in pain and fell to her knees with a thud.

Zhou's mother was about to hit him again when the police grabbed her hands, saying, "That's enough."

Zhou Xiaobao remained nonchalant until now. Before getting into the car, he stared at Li Sansao and threatened fiercely, "Zhou Xiaolian, if you dare say it was me, you're dead."

Li Sansao stared blankly at a group of people related to her by blood, who were cursing and swearing at her, each of them wanting to tear her apart.

As she was being shoved into the car, she glanced at the lit cross symbol at the hospital entrance, and tears streamed down her face.

She murmured, "Brother Guangbai, I'm so sorry..."

In the hospital, a group of people had bloodshot eyes from staying up all night. Li Erge went out and bought some simple food, which he then shared with everyone, but no one had any appetite.

Li Erge advised Li's father and mother to go with Li Banxia, ​​"I've booked a few rooms at the hotel next door. You should all go and rest. I'll stay here with Lao San."

Li's mother shook her head, "I'm not leaving, I want to stay with my third son."

"Okay, I'll stay with you."

Mr. Li put his arm around Mrs. Li's shoulder and looked at Li Erge and Li Banxia, ​​saying, "You two go and rest. Come back tomorrow to relieve your mother and me. Go ahead."

Li Banxia opened her mouth as if to say something, but her father shook his head to stop her, saying, "Go."

Brother Li patted Li Banxia on the shoulder and left with Sister-in-law Li.

Su Laoda looked at Li Banxia, ​​"Mom?"

"Dad, why don't you and Mom eat something?" Li Banxia urged her parents.

Mr. Li tried to smile, but his nose tingled and his eyes welled up with tears, so he couldn't manage a smile.

Li Banxia turned her head away and left with her three sons.

As he descended the stairs, his eyes caught sight of the iron stamp on Su Lao Er's back, and he paused.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Li Erge and his wife shared a room, Li Banxia shared a room, and the three brothers shared a room.

Li Ersao discussed with Li Erge, "Do you think we should call and tell those two kids about their parents?"

"Let's wait a bit."

After a moment's thought, Li Erge said, "We'll call them back after the third brother is transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward."

Li Ersao paused in making the bed, then looked up at Li Erge.

"...Are you worried that the two children don't know whose side to take?"

Li Erge sighed softly, "Don't make the children do things that put them in a difficult position. On one side is their biological mother, and on the other side is their biological father. How do you expect them to choose?"

Li Ersao also sighed.

He said, "My third sister-in-law... she's really confused. She's not a child anymore, she's been around for decades. How can she not tell who truly cares for her? It's a pity it's too late now. Her two children's lives are probably ruined by her..."

The thought of the law that prohibits a close relative with a criminal record from holding a political career for three generations caused Li Erge a pang of heartache.

His parents were in poor health, and his nephew wasn't as healthy as his and his older brother's children when he was born. It took a lot of effort for him and his parents to raise the boy to be as strong as a calf.

When he returned at the beginning of the year, he said he was preparing to take the military academy entrance exam so that he could protect the country like his uncle.

My niece studied medicine and wants to join the army as a military doctor.

Now, what will happen to these two children?

Next door, Li Banxia looked at the three brothers and asked them, "Did you call the police? Did you summon the public security officers?"

Su Laoda shook his head, "I don't know. When I got there, my third uncle had already been taken to the hospital by my second uncle and maternal grandfather."

He turned to look at his two younger brothers.

"It was my second brother who called me."

Su Laosan grinned at Su Laoer, "When Second Brother saw Third Uncle beaten like that, he thought Third Uncle was dead. He went crazy, rushed out and called the police, and then went to the Zhou family..."

He stopped laughing as soon as he saw his mother's cold expression.

"Mom, you have no idea, luckily I chased after my second brother and we stormed over there. Those two old bastards from the Zhou family were packing their things, trying to run away with Zhou Xiaobao! My second brother went to catch them, but that scoundrel Zhou Xiaobao's father smacked him on the back with an iron shovel, tearing his clothes to shreds. My second brother fell to the ground and almost couldn't get up! Look..."

Su Laosan pulled Su Laoer aside, wanting to show Li Banxia the injury on his back.

Su Lao Er turned away without turning around, and slapped Su Lao San's hand, saying, "No one's going to die, what are you looking at?"

Li Banxia looked at Su Lao Er with a complicated expression.
