Seeing Fang Yan's state, Fang Yaojin finally realized that the person in charge of today's matter—no, the one who paid the bill—was this bitch.
What will I do if she absolutely refuses to pay?
What should we do with the money that has already been spent?
When Fang Yaojin was planning this, all he could think about was how Fang Yan would panic, be scared, and be at a loss after something happened.
So when he appeared before her like a savior, she must have cried and begged him to find a way to save her.
He was certain that all the money he had spent would be recouped from Fang Yan.
When Fang Yaojin smashed it, he was incredibly generous and straightforward.
It was precisely because he spent money so generously that the lower-ranking official above him was so quick to make such proper arrangements for him.
But now, he saw none of the behaviors he had imagined Fang Yan should exhibit!
Not only that, Fang Yaojin was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath several times.
Take now, for example. Looking at Fang Yan, who was completely unfazed, Fang Yaojin was so angry that he was almost out of breath.
"Then you have to give me back the money I spent to pull some strings to get this visit!"
If it weren't for Qi Bei's fierce gaze watching him intently from the side, Fang Yaojin would have already gone up and beaten Fang Yan until she handed over the money on her own!
Fang Yan perfectly embodied the fusion of a rogue and a loser, glancing sideways at Fang Yaojin, "It wasn't me who asked you to come."
It can't be said that she was a scoundrel.
Because it really wasn't her who sent him.
"You!" Fang Yaojin was furious and forgot that Qi Bei was watching him intently from the side. He raised his hand, ready to rush up and hit Fang Yan.
However, the moment he moved, Qibei jumped out and blocked Fang Yan's path, baring his teeth and whispering a warning to Fang Yaojin, "You dare to come up here and try! I'll bite you to death!"
Even though Fang Yaojin was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode, he didn't dare to step forward.
"Visiting time has arrived," a staff member said to Fang Yaojin.
"What visiting hours? I am..." Fang Yaojin was already furious. How dare this idiot provoke him? He turned around and was about to yell at him...
"The boss sent me."
However, the other party intercepted the order.
Upon seeing the other person clearly, Fang Yaojin frowned, seemingly quite unwilling, but ultimately had no choice but to reluctantly follow them away.
When the staff member's voice rang out, Fang Yan immediately remained calm and looked in the direction of the voice, hoping to see who it was.
However, the other party was indeed cautious, standing in a position that was just barely blocked by the door.
Fang Yaojin and the others finally left, and the room finally quieted down.
"Mommy, when are we going home?" Little Fish suddenly asked in a low voice.
Nestled in his mother's arms, with Qibei protecting them, he was no longer afraid.
But he didn't like it; he wanted to go home.
"Mom doesn't know when we can go home either. Is Little Fish scared?"
To be honest, Fang Yan wasn't too worried; they dared to disregard human life in a society governed by the rule of law.
However, the county town is far from big cities.
As the saying goes, "The emperor is far away and the sky is high."
Fang Yan is worried that some people will act like local tyrants and do reckless things.
For example, they used various excuses to suppress the case, detain her, and prevent her from leaving;
For example, they might throw her into a room where all sorts of random people are locked up, or even secretly instruct those people inside to bully her.
...
She had to be on guard, so now she could only anxiously await when Zhang Zongde would come to visit.
She needs to discuss with him how to take precautions.
"Don't be afraid, Mommy's here, Qibei's here, Little Fish isn't afraid." Little Fish hugged Fang Yan's neck and said in a babyish voice.
While the mother and son were chatting idly inside, Zhang Zongde outside also encountered the same problem as Old Man Wei—visitation was not permitted.
Here's what happened: When Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law learned that Fang Yan had been arrested, she was so frightened that she didn't care about anything else and ran back to the village.
"Dad, Dad!" She cried out before even entering the house, "Something's happened! Something's happened to the third son's family!"
Zhang Zongde and the village chief were drinking tea, discussing the growth of the village's crops this year.
Upon hearing this, the two of them and Aunt De were so frightened that they ran out from inside. "What are you all so flustered about? What happened?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was out of breath from running. She didn't even have time to catch her breath. She gasped for air and said in broken sentences that terrified everyone: "The third son's wife has been arrested."
"No, what kind of talk is that? How did the third son's family get arrested?"
Aunt De was holding her grandson, her mind a little blank.
Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law, "It's just..."
She recounted everything that happened after she bought the rapeseed, went to find Fang Yan, and heard about it there.
"They said that someone died from eating the braised meat from the third brother's family, and then he was arrested by the police."
Aunt De was so frightened that she swayed and almost dropped her grandson.
It was Zhang Zongde who caught her in time and took the baby from her arms.
"How could this be?" Aunt De cried anxiously. "This is absolutely impossible. So many people in our village have eaten Lao San's braised pig's head and intestines, and our family, too, has eaten so much braised food from Lao San's family and hasn't even had a cough. How could her braised food kill someone?"
"Old man!" Aunt De panicked and grabbed Zhang Zongde beside her, crying out in alarm, "Hurry, hurry and think of a way! How can we get the third son's family out?"
Fang Yan was very kind to the elderly couple and was very filial to them. Aunt De also liked Fang Yan very much.
Upon hearing the news of Fang Yan's arrest, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
Zhang Zongde first handed his grandson to his eldest daughter-in-law, who had recovered, before comforting his wife, "Don't worry, I'll go into town to find out what happened."
"Uncle De, I'll go back and ride my bike over right now, and we'll go into town together."
The village chief also came to his senses and quickly ran back to his home.
Because of their positions, Zhang Zongde and the village chief frequently traveled to the county town, and they knew the way well to the police station.
They found a staff member and explained their purpose, but were told, "This person is an important prisoner, and you are not allowed to visit him."
"That's not right. We're her family, why can't we visit her?" The village chief was dumbfounded.
The staff member glared at them impatiently, "It's the rule from above. If we can't visit, then we can't visit. Let's see how your superiors react."
"Uncle De, what should we do now?"
In the end, they were still "asked" to leave.
The village chief asked Zhang Zongde, looking utterly at a loss.
