Li Lanhua was breathing heavily, and when she heard Xiao Fengnian's cold voice, she shuddered all over.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Fengnian. Unable to bear the psychological pressure, she opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by her husband Tian Zhuang. He laughed awkwardly and stood in front of Li Lanhua: "Comrade, we are all country people. We have never seen the world and don't know anything. You...you can't pressure others. What did Xia Rongrong do wrong?"
Tian Zhuang swallowed his saliva repeatedly, did not dare to look at Xiao Fengnian, and kept shouting words of fairness and justice.
"You know nothing? Haha." Xia Rongrong was already laughing at Li Lanhua. After hearing what Tian Zhuang said, she knew that this family was planning to get her out of the way and push her out to take the blame. Haha, now that things have come to this, the group of "old buddies" back then must stay together. If she were the only one in jail, wouldn't it be too lonely?
Thinking of this, Xia Rongrong said quietly: "Twenty-seven years ago, we worked together. With the help of my brother's position as the chief's adjutant, I exchanged your son for..." Xia Rongrong slowly looked at Xiao Fengnian and Tong Muzhen, her eyes full of complacency.
"All these years have passed, and you have taken great pains to take care of the son of the Xiao family. Now that they have come to you, don't you want to take credit for it? This is a rare opportunity, otherwise you will never be able to meet a family like the Xiao family in your entire life!"
Xia Rongrong spoke in a sarcastic voice, and Tian Zhuang and Li Lanhua's faces turned pale as paper. They trembled and could not utter a complete word.
Tong Muzhen's lips trembled slightly as she looked at Xia Rongrong, Tian Zhuang and Li Lanhua, her heart bleeding with pain.
She never thought that she would have a smooth life, but it would be ruined by such a few people. The two children's lives were swapped. Once she knew it, she was heartbroken, but wasn't this also a kind of pain for the two children?
"Is what Xia Rongrong said true?" Xiao Fengnian asked sternly with a gloomy face.
Li Lanhua was about to shake her head when she felt her husband pinch her hand hard. She turned pale and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, she heard Tian Zhuang crying, "Chief, please be clear! Xia Rongrong was the one who manipulated everything back then. Otherwise, how could country folk like us have such a long hand? Chief, we are innocent! The children are innocent too!"
Hearing this, Xia Rongrong sneered, "Back then, you were working in Yandu and suddenly gave birth. It was my eldest brother who found a way to send you to the military hospital to give birth. I just mentioned the Xiao family's wealth by chance, and you were tempted and took the initiative to discuss it with me. I helped you because we grew up together. How come it's my fault now?"
"Tian Zhuang, Li Lanhua, look at what happened to me. Do you think you two can get away with it cleanly?"
Xia Rongrong stretched out her hand, and the shackles made a crisp clash sound. Her eyes were crazy and full of ridicule.
Not far behind her stood the Zhao family, young and old, all of them looked pale. Zhao Huai's face was even paler and his eyes were red. He looked at Xia Rongrong in disbelief, who was relaxed and at ease, as if she had just eaten a meal today.
He is about to get married. How will he live in the future if he has a mother like this who steals children?
Zhao Huai could imagine how much discrimination the Zhao family would face in Tuanjie Village after Xia Rongrong was arrested. They might even be driven away by the village party secretary. After all, they had offended the head of the Yandu Military Region and committed an unforgivable crime!
Li Lanhua was shaking all over, shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind, and screamed, "No, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail, Lao Tian! Tell everyone what happened back then, we, we didn't... We are innocent!"
Tian Zhuang turned around and glared at Li Lanhua, then sighed sadly: "Commander, police comrade, although it was Xia Rongrong who insisted on dragging us into committing a crime, it was done and it was our fault. I'm sorry."
As he said this, Tian Zhuang kowtowed heavily to Xiao Fengnian and Tong Muzhen, and when he stood up, his head was bruised.
He seemed to feel no pain, and murmured, "Shaoqing is a good kid. Although he has never been able to leave Tuanjie Village for so many years, he has a good temper and looks good. Everyone in the surrounding area praises him. Commander, you will know when you see him. Really, we have never tortured Shaoqing! By the way, he is married, and you all have daughters-in-law!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" Tong Muzhen said like a possessed person, with a shrill voice and hateful eyes.
She covered her ears, as if she couldn't bear the pain. Xiao Fengnian, who was standing by, felt so painful when he saw her like this. He scolded her, "Do you have any humanity? You took away the baby just for the sake of wealth and fame, and now you have the nerve to say that you didn't torture the child? You are so shameless! None of these people should be spared!"
Xiao Fengnian gritted his teeth. Zhao Tianqing waved his hand and two policemen were about to step forward and handcuff them.
When Tian Zhuang saw the policeman coming with handcuffs, he turned pale with fright and quickly put his hands behind his back. He felt a little regretful for a moment. The greed that had been ignited by the sight of the car was suppressed in an instant. He didn't want to go to jail!
Li Lanhua screamed continuously and stood up to run, but when she turned around, she saw a figure sitting on the back of the bicycle.
Her eyes lit up and she screamed, "Shaoqing! Shaoqing, please save my mother! She's going to kill someone—"
Shi also stood aside, looking at the intimacy and trust in Li Lanhua's eyes. Following her gaze, he saw a young man jumping off the back seat of a bicycle. Because he was going too fast, he staggered and almost fell.
The young man was wearing a very simple grey cotton jacket, with two patches on the knees of his trousers. One could tell at a glance that he was in poor condition, but he looked very energetic, tall, and handsome. Under his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of phoenix eyes, his nose was not that straight, and his lips were slightly fuller. But with such an appearance, he would definitely be considered a "village grass" in Tuanjie Village.
Shi also narrowed her eyes slightly. If she had not encountered the incident between Xiao Yue and the Tian family, she would not have known that the "phoenix eyes" that were originally very rare had suddenly become a common commodity, and everyone had a familiar mark on their face.
"Mom! Are you okay, Mom?" After Tian Shaoqing stood firm, he rushed towards Li Lanhua, held her shoulders, looked her up and down, his eyes full of anxiety, as if he was afraid that she would be hurt in the slightest. He was really a filial son.
Xiao Yue also looked at the person who came, his expression was indifferent, with almost no emotional change.
Tong Muzhen was in a daze, looking at Tian Shaoqing, thinking about Xia Rongrong's words, her heart was in a knot.
She took a step forward, but was suddenly met with Tian Shaoqing's alert and defensive eyes. He blocked Li Lanhua behind him, and pulled Tian Zhuang, straightened his back, raised his head, and said loudly: "What do you want to do? So what if they are leaders from Yandu? My parents are honest country people and never do bad things! If you want to hurt them, just step over me!"
