In the following days, Meng Zhiyu stayed in the yard and took care of his own things. From time to time, he would follow Zhou Songbai to the county town for a walk, or visit Zhou's house.
Time passed day by day, and just when Meng Zhiyu thought the investigation results were wrong, one morning, when she was learning to weave small baskets with Zhou Songbai at Zhou's house, she heard a commotion outside.
The two looked at each other. Meng Zhiyu had a hunch that it must be the captain's house. "Should we go take a look?"
Zhou Songbai didn't want to go at first, but seeing her curious look, he nodded and said, "You must follow me closely and don't run around."
Zhou's mother went out to chat with her old sisters. In order not to disturb the two of them from developing their relationship, Zhou's eldest sister-in-law and Zhou Ersao also went out together.
On the way, many people hurried to Captain Wang's house. Meng Zhiyu heard someone say, "I don't know what happened to the captain's family. Many police officers have gone to his house."
"Yes, I saw it too. They were all so fierce, they scared me."
When they arrived at the captain's house, there were already quite a few people gathered outside. Meng Zhiyu saw Zhou's mother in the crowd and pulled Zhou Songbai over.
"Auntie Zhou."
"Hey," Zhou's mother turned around and glanced at her son who was following behind her. "The situation at the captain's house must be serious. Don't get separated from Hao Zhiyu."
Zhou Songbai held Zhiyu's hand tightly and nodded seriously. The shouting of the captain's family continued to come from the yard.
"What are you doing? What gives you the right to arrest us? Let me go, let me go." Mrs. Li had her hands handcuffed behind her back and she twisted her body and struggled constantly.
The captain looked a little panicked, but he remained calm. "Comrade, can you tell me what we did wrong? Why are you arresting us?"
The person holding him down ignored him and glanced around. "Don't struggle. If you really haven't done anything wrong, we won't arrest you."
Zhao Shuanglian's belly was already very big. She covered her belly with her hands, her face pale, and looked at the messy house in panic, her head buzzing.
Mrs. Li looked at the safe and sound Zhao Shuanglian and struggled with dissatisfaction, "Why don't you arrest her? She is also like the daughter-in-law of the Li family."
Mrs. Li was also reluctant. They were all daughters-in-law of the Li family. If they were to be arrested, they should be arrested. Why should Zhao Shuanglian be the only one to be spared? "That's right, you should arrest her too."
Meng Zhiyu looked at the two people with malicious faces and sighed in his heart. It was because he was not good enough that he could not bear to see others being better than him.
The man who led the group shouted, "Shut up. We've already done some research on who we're going to arrest, and we're arresting you just to ask a few questions. If you have no problem, we'll let you go. Of course, the prerequisite is that you tell the truth."
Li Lian'er curled up in He Zhida's arms with a delicate look, holding on to He Zhida's clothes tightly and refusing to let go, but they were finally forcibly separated.
He Zhida was already at a loss. He thought that he would never have to worry about food and clothing after marrying Li Lian'er, but he did not expect that the Li family would be arrested.
Seeing that he was in a daze as if he didn't see her being caught, Li Lian'er sneered and hated him in her heart. He said nice things but changed his attitude when something really happened.
He just thought that Li Lian'er was an easy woman to marry, and that if he enjoyed life in their family, he would have to take on certain responsibilities.
Looking at the sneer on Li Lian'er's face, Meng Zhiyu was finally certain that Li Lian'er was definitely not innocent. After all, He Zhida had sacrificed himself for a moment of enjoyment.
Even if the two of them get married in the future, the ex-father-in-law's ex-wife is a black mark of human traffickers and will always follow him.
The village chief heard the news and rushed over, sweating profusely in the winter. "Comrade, I am the village chief. Can I ask what wrong the captain's family has done?"
The leading man said with a serious expression, "We have found that the Li family has connections with human trafficking gangs and is involved in many cases of trafficking women and children."
The village chief never thought that it was because of this. His face turned pale and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
After the police took away all the members of the Li family except Zhao Shuanglian, the crowd in the village could no longer bear it and started to explode.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect the captain's family to be human traffickers."
"The captain's family always pretends to be very good. I didn't expect there are so many human traffickers in our village. My grandson was not abducted. It's really God's blessing."
"Before it was Mrs. Zhao and her son, and now it's the captain's family. Isn't our team a den of human traffickers?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you still want to live like this?"
Meng Zhiyu was protected by Zhou Songbai and stood in the crowd, listening to everyone's chatter.
When I looked up, I saw Mrs. Zhang standing on the right holding a child. She had a calm and gentle look on her face, and she tilted her head, not knowing what she was saying to the child in her arms.
As if he noticed her gaze, he turned his head and looked at her, smiling at her. Meng Zhiyu was stunned for a moment and smiled back.
Following the engagement of Meng Zhiyu and Zhou Songbai, the village finally welcomed a bigger hot news, and it was news that shocked all the surrounding teams.
Zhou Songbai held her hand and said, "I'm afraid the captains of other brigades won't have a peaceful life these days."
Indeed, if a team leader gets into trouble, especially one who usually has a good reputation, others will definitely suspect that the other team leaders are also human traffickers.
Zhou's mother took Zhou's father and walked on the other side of Zhiyu, sighing without saying anything. Meng Zhiyu was an educated youth from outside the province and had not spent much time with the team leader, but the people in their team were different, and this incident had a great impact on them.
Meng Zhiyu did not go back to Zhou's house, but went straight back to the educated youth's yard. Song Yun was already there, and a table of people were chattering there. Meng Zhiyu found a gap and sat down to listen to them talking.
"I don't know if He Zhida and Zhao Shuanglian will regret it later." Li Qingqing also had a complicated expression.
"Needless to say? I thought I had entered a happy home, but who knew it was such a big pit. It's not even as good as our shabby courtyard of the educated youth." For the first time, Jiang Zengzhi felt that the small courtyard of the educated youth was so lovely and amiable.
Just when everyone was curious about what the pregnant Zhao Shuanglian would do, they heard the news that Zhao Shuanglian had a miscarriage.
The village was in an uproar again, and what happened yesterday was brought up again, with saliva flying everywhere.
A few days later, a new round of working life began.
After investigation and questioning, it was confirmed that the eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Li family were ignorant of the matter, so they were released. Zhao Shuanglian has been hiding in the Li family and has not been seen.
On the second day after the eldest and second daughters-in-law of the Li family came back, the three of them had a shocking fight that turned the yard of their home upside down and became a hot topic in the village.
