The mother was dumbfounded. What did you mean by don't worry? Now she is even more worried, okay?

How come my son became a criminal suspect out of nowhere?

Before the mother could protest her son's injustice, everyone started asking, "Public Security Officer Sun, why did you arrest him for no reason? What did he do wrong? There has never been a labor camp prisoner in our alley."

The young grandson police officer said seriously, "This is what happened. We found Cao Bin at the entrance of the alley at midnight yesterday. He was carrying a bag and preparing to leave. We wanted to take him to the police station for questioning, but he refused to go. He accidentally dropped the bag, which was full of various gold jewellery and precious cultural relics. So we took him back."

After taking a breath, Public Security Officer Sun continued, "Cao Bin has admitted that he stole these things from the victim's home under the pretext of criticism and struggle when he was a Little Red Soldier. This time we are here to find Cao Bin's family. According to his confession, he gave some of the stolen items to his family. Auntie, you just said that Cao Bin is your son, now quickly hand over the stolen items."

The public security comrades made it very clear that Cao Bin was arrested for stealing something, and he himself has admitted it.

Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment. Someone pondered for a long time, then suddenly pinched his chin and said, "Didn't the aunt just say that if her son stole something, he would eat shit? And he ate three pounds. Who can go home and get a scale to weigh it for our aunt? Don't eat too much."

The eldest master's face turned green.

Someone else said, "Don't talk nonsense. People can't eat that. But let me tell you, this rich family really raised a good son who is not only a scoundrel but also a thief. It's not easy to raise a good child into such a pest."

There was no insult in any of the words, but every word was heartbreaking. The old neighbors who had lived together for so many years were almost stabbing the old couple to death with every word they said.

"Don't just stand there and watch, go home and get a spoon to go to the toilet. Do you want to eat it with your hands?"

First, she learned that her son had stolen something from someone else's house and was about to go to jail. Then, he was scolded by the neighbors. The mother was so shocked that her hands and feet were shaking as if she was having a seizure.

The tears on her face from accusing Lin Minjun of slander had not yet dried, but when she heard this question, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

In the past, when she fainted, everyone would still be concerned about her, but now after this incident, who would dare to get involved with such a family? They all retreated, and the mother just lay on the ground without even looking at the grandfather, and they were still busy explaining things to the police.

Lin Minjun glanced at the mother lying on the ground and the grandfather who was hunched over and talking to the police. Only two words came to her mind: You deserve it!

Once you have a child, you must educate him well. If you don't, society will teach him how to be a human being sooner or later. Just like scum like Cao Bin, who is selfish and has no moral bottom line.

If his parents had brought him up well when he was a child, he would not have ended up like this.

Thinking of Cao Bin, Lin Minjun thought of Mrs. Xia's two sons. The two generals, Heng and Ha, are about to follow Cao Bin's old path. I hope Mrs. Xia can see the fate of the eldest master's family and educate her own sons well.

However, these two things had nothing to do with her, so Lin Minjun just sighed.

After coming to her senses, she patted Erwa's shoulder and asked, "Were you scared just now?"

"No." Erwa looked at her silently for a long time, then suddenly pulled Lin Minjun's hand and said seriously, "Sister, I will absolutely, absolutely never show off my strength again."

The baby still remembers the regret and anxiety he felt last night.

"Well, it's good that you know." Lin Minjun smiled, put her hand over her mouth and yawned, "There are steamed buns in the kitchen, you can heat them up and eat them yourself. After you finish eating, go to school and don't worry about their family's affairs anymore."

Lying in the small room, listening to the sounds, Erwa ate by himself, put on his schoolbag and went to school. Only then did Lin Minjun close her eyes and lie on the bed to take a good sleep.

In fact, she didn't dare to sleep last night. How could she sleep?

She had never done anything so bold in her two lifetimes combined. Even if she had memories of her previous life, they were only some experience. This time she was bold enough to fight back bravely against those who bullied her.

I didn’t expect the result to be so good! I didn’t expect Cao Bin to be arrested immediately and confessed at the police station!

Lin Minjun was feeling sleepy but excited at the same time. She did not wake up despite the noise outside. She closed her eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.

…

Although she advised Erwa not to meddle in that family's affairs, Lin Minjun didn't care about them anymore and didn't even ask about them. Anyway, she knew that family would not have a good ending.

Sometimes when she was setting up her stall at night and hearing people gossiping in the alley, Lin Minjun would quicken her pace, not wanting to waste her time on such things.

During this time, she set up her stall and did business as usual. Money flowed into her pocket and her life was peaceful and comfortable.

However, Lin Minjun didn't want to get involved in this matter, and was even too lazy to know about it, but the news still continued to reach her ears.

On this Sunday, Lin Minjun's stall saw another surge in business, with customers coming in an endless stream.

Most of them are employees in the company. They only have Sundays off. They have to collect cloth to make clothes, buy daily necessities for the family, and take the elderly and children to bathe and cut their hair. It is like fighting a war.

When we passed by Lin Minjun's stall, some children were clamoring for fried potatoes.

The parents thought: It is better to leave the child here to eat potatoes than to go to Xiushui Street where everyone is crowded together. It would be a big deal if the child got lost.

"Mom, I'll buy you two servings of fried potatoes. You can eat them here. I'll go in and buy them and come back, okay?"

“Fried potatoes, expensive, right?”

"Old Liu, it's not expensive at all. This is made by Xiao Lin in our alley. The portion is large, the price is cheap, and it's clean. Let's wait here and watch the children. Don't cause trouble for the young people, okay?"

At that moment, two aunts from the alley came over with their grandchildren, "Xiao Lin, give us two servings of fried potatoes. Don't put too much chili in them, they're for the kids."

Lin Minjun took a look and recognized that they were neighbors in the alley, so she gave them a little more, filling the bowl with potatoes, and placed it on the table for them to eat slowly.

The two mothers were eating and chatting, and one of them asked, "Have you heard about it these past two days? Xiuhua has been crying at home every day, and quarreling with Lao Cao every day."

Lin Minjun heard this and thought, does this mean that the master's family is living in dire straits?

Another said, "How can I not cry? Cao Bin was convicted and said he would be imprisoned for many years. Old Cao went around looking for people to smooth things over and went out with money every day to give gifts."

"Bah! Are you really going to let him out?"

"How could that be possible? He couldn't find the temple gate with a pig's head in his hand. Who would have let him go? He said he stole too many things, not just Erwa's mother's, but also other people's. The amount was huge. He will definitely go to jail this time, but I don't know how many years he will be in jail. I estimate six or seven years."

Lin Minjun curled the corners of her mouth.

Worse news was yet to come. The youngest son was in jail, and the anger spread to the eldest master.

The mother added, "Actually, I think Lao Cao should no longer be the head of the hospital. His son is in jail, so what qualifications does he have to manage us?"

"It's no use telling me this. Tell the people in the yard. What do they think?"

"They think so too. Who will still be convinced by him after such a thing happened? Someone told me that things were always missing from their house before, and Xiuhua said it was Erwa who stole them. Now it seems that it was probably Cao Bin who stole them. He just wanted to ruin Erwa's reputation. Someone even threw rotten eggs into his house yesterday."

"They need to give an explanation for this matter, otherwise they will not be able to be the leaders of the hospital."

Then they talked about the leader of the courtyard. "Do you remember that Xiuhua always pretended to be the leader's wife in the courtyard? She acted very arrogant when she saw us. When we see her these two days, we call her the leader's wife. See if she is embarrassed or not!"

The two eldest mothers laughed as they spoke, as if they had already seen the embarrassed looks of the eldest mother and the eldest grandfather. It was not that they were taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but mainly because the eldest mother usually loved to act as the leader's wife in the yard. Whenever something happened in someone's family, she would get involved and talk without thinking, often making the situation in other people's families worse. Originally, it was just a quarrel between the couple, or a little friction between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

As long as the eldest mother gets involved, the relationship will escalate into a physical fight, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will start arguing about dividing the family property. Now that the eldest mother is in trouble, it's kindness for everyone not to spit at her.

The two aunts were talking and laughing, and their voices reached Lin Minjun's ears. She said nothing, and wiped the dishes carelessly, thinking about this matter in her heart.

Judging from the quarrels she had with the eldest master's family in recent times, she felt that the eldest master would not be so stupid and would definitely not sit there and wait for everyone to throw rotten eggs at his house.

Just wait and see. Before everyone rushes to the Great Master's house to demand his opinion, the Great Master will definitely take action.

When she closed the stall in the evening and returned to the alley, Lin Minjun knew that she had guessed correctly. The eldest master had taken action. The yard was full of people and it seemed that he was holding a general meeting for all the people in the yard.

"Xiao Lin, come here quickly. We only need you in our courtyard. Come to the whole courtyard meeting. He said that the eldest master wants to have an opinion on this matter." Someone waved his hand.

Lin Minjun was reluctant to join in at first, not wanting to stand out, but she was also curious about how the eldest master was going to handle it. After thinking about it, she decided to go over and said, "Okay, I'll sit next to the second child."

The brother and sister sat together and watched how the eldest master handled the situation.

As they were talking, the whole hospital meeting began in a tumultuous manner. No one whispered to each other, and dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at the eldest master with gleaming eyes.

The eldest master walked to the open space in front, cleared his throat, and threw a rotten egg at someone before saying anything.

"Bullshit boss, bullshit leader, get out!" Someone raised his arm and shouted.
