The dragon tribe's most beloved little princess found herself in an era of scarcity, lacking clothes and food. Fortunately, she had a grandmother who doted on her as if she were the apple of he...
Chapter 511 will land you in jail.
These words immediately garnered strong support from the onlookers.
"The Chen family is right, both the daughter and the son are their own flesh and blood!"
"Although sons are more precious than daughters because they can carry on the family line, daughters are also a piece of flesh that came from my womb. I can't bear to sell my daughter to someone for a ghost marriage!"
"Only the Li family doesn't treat their daughters like human beings! Look at the Li family's daughters-in-law and granddaughters, they're all skin and bones, while their sons and grandsons are big and strong. It's a real tragedy!"
But Old Mrs. Li was thick-skinned and never cared about other people's opinions. Seeing that the Chen family was determined to kick her youngest daughter out of the house, she said righteously, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl! If your Chen family doesn't want her anymore, you can't just return her to us. No way!"
She's definitely not going to pick him up!
The Li brothers weren't happy to support someone who was freeloading, and their youngest sister wasn't as capable at chores as before when she came back last time.
They got sick after only two days of work; bringing them back would be a waste of food!
Ma Xiulian threatened fiercely, "If you don't go to pick them up, I'll report you to the police for human trafficking and have you paraded through the streets and thrown in jail!"
"Go ahead and sue me! I didn't sell it, let's see if the police will care!" Old Mrs. Li shouted, hands on her hips, her voice deafening.
She had never seen anyone arrested for selling their own daughters or granddaughters.
At this moment, the commune's brigade leader stepped forward and said in a stern tone, "Wang Dahua, don't be so complacent. There are now clear laws and regulations in the country prohibiting the buying and selling of women and children. Not only will those who buy and sell women and children go to jail, but in serious cases, they can even be shot!"
He had long disliked the Li family's behavior, which had also tarnished the reputation of the entire commune. They deserved to be punished properly!
Get shot?!
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Li gasped and quickly denied it, saying, "I didn't sell this person; I just acted as a go-between!"
If anyone's going to be arrested, it should be Li Chunhua!
The captain, however, said sternly, "How could it not be? You yourself said you were the one who led the connection and even shared the dirty money. If the Chen family files a complaint, you'll definitely go to jail! And if you're accused of abusing women and children, you'll also go to jail!"
Actually, he deliberately exaggerated to scare Old Lady Li. After all, there are still some families who can't get enough to eat who sell their own daughters and granddaughters, and it's not easy for others to interfere.
However, there was indeed a daughter-in-law in the next town who sued her mother-in-law for beating her.
Grandma Li was dumbfounded: "This...this..."
How did things escalate to the point of going to jail and being shot?!
In those days, the head of the brigade, who was the top leader of the commune, had a lot of authority, so the Li family had no doubt about the truth of his words.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ma Xiulian shouted, "Let's go, let's go to the police station right now!"
Grandma Li panicked immediately: "No, no, no, my dear in-laws, please don't! I'll go with you to pick them up!"
She can't possibly ruin herself for a worthless piece of trash!
Anyway, if they starve or freeze to death after we bring them back, that's none of her business.
As for the captain's statement that abusing women could also lead to imprisonment, she didn't care at all; they didn't have the guts to sue her!

At that moment, Li Chunhua, completely unaware of the situation, was eating heartily in the kitchen.
The little bit of food Zhao Mei gave us wasn't enough to fill us up!
Most importantly, she realized that her mother would never come to pick her up and take her home for a free meal!
So society is progressing!
