Chapter 138 Li Fengzhi's plan went wrong
Li Baotian stamped his feet and looked at Li Fengzhi angrily: "How could you hit him? No matter how bad Zhou Yong is, he is my son-in-law, Li Baotian. What right do you have to hit him?"
Don't hit people in the face. Li Fengzhi slapped Zhou Yong in the face in front of Li Baotian. As a father-in-law, how did he feel?
Putting aside other things, if Zhang Guifang knew about this, she would definitely quarrel with Li Baotian endlessly.
Besides, there is Li Caiyun. At this moment, Li Baotian doesn’t know how to go home and explain to the mother and daughter.
What Li Baotian didn't know was that Zhou Yong deliberately took the slap in the face just to prevent his father-in-law from interfering in the matter. Then he could bully Li Fengzhi however he wanted.
Li Fengzhi swallowed her saliva and said with a specious argument: "It was obviously he who spoke rudely first, so I hit him. Besides, it was just a slap, wasn't it? He didn't lose any flesh or skin, is it necessary for you to treat me like this?
After all, we are siblings from the same mother, and isn’t Zhou Yong just a live-in son-in-law? Without you, he would be nothing. He got his position as the production team leader thanks to you..."
Li Baotian looked at his eldest sister. He was so angry that he laughed. Thinking about what Zhou Yong said to him on the way here, he felt uneasy: "No wonder Zhou Yong distanced himself from our Li family. So this is how you all view him?"
On the surface, everyone seems to be nice to Zhou Yong, but they don’t know that few people in the Li family could look up to Zhou Yong before.
What shocked Li Fengzhi was that Li Baotian told him that the reason Zhou Yong became the team leader of the Huaixi Village production team was because he was appointed by Secretary Zhang himself and it had nothing to do with him.
"How is that possible?"
Li Baotian sneered: "If you don't believe me, go back to Huaixi Village and ask around. And have you forgotten that Xu Jianmin is his senior brother? Zhou Yong was beaten up in your house. What do you think will happen to you?"
The village where Li Fengzhi lives is under the jurisdiction of Hongqi Commune. Xu Jianmin is the second-in-command of the commune. If he talks to the village chief, will the Tang family have a good life?
When beating Zhou Yong, Li Fengzhi ignored these things. As Li Baotian reminded her, she became more and more scared.
"What should we do? You have to save your elder sister."
Ever since Li Baotian learned the truth about the lost money, an irreparable rift has appeared in their sibling relationship.
In other words, his disappointment with Li Fengzhi was beyond words, and could even be described as heartbreaking.
Li Caiyun was Li Fengzhi's niece, and her aunt was actually willing to steal money. This shocked him deeply and made him doubt this family relationship.
Li Baotian took a deep breath, and after careful consideration, he decided to give his eldest sister another chance. After all, family ties are hard to break.
"Sister, tell me, did you take the money that Caiyun put in the box? I tell you, that money is not Caiyun's money, it is Zhou Yong's public funds at home..."
On the way here, Zhou Yong said that he must get the money back. He would rather give it to the villagers of Huaixi Village than to the ungrateful Li Fengzhi and his family.
If Li Fengzhi admitted that she stole the money, Li Baotian would, even at the cost of his reputation, ask Zhou Yong to show mercy and let his elder sister go. As for the money, the Tang family could only pay it back slowly.
If she doesn't admit it, then they will no longer be siblings for the rest of their lives, and Li Baotian will not interfere with how Zhou Yong wants to deal with their family.
Li Baotian looked directly at the panicked Li Fengzhi, who stammered, "Old Third, what are you talking about? How could the eldest sister steal Caiyun's money?"
"Sister, do you dare to swear on the lives of your sons and grandsons that you didn't take the money that Caiyun put in the box?"
Li Fengzhi couldn't help swallowing her saliva, her eyes dodging, and she shouted sharply: "Li Baotian, I am your elder sister, what does your family's lost money have to do with me?
Besides, I haven’t been back to Huaixi Village for several months, so stop throwing dirty water on me…”
At this moment, Li Baotian felt deeply desperate.
He repeatedly emphasized that the lost money was public funds. Doesn't Li Fengzhi understand what public funds mean?
If the lost public funds cannot be replaced, both Zhou Yong and him will be held accountable.
Li Baotian smiled and nodded: "In that case, you can do whatever you want!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Baotian turned and left. Li Fengzhi reached out to grab her brother, but her hand reached out to nothing.
Li Fengzhi raised her foot and wanted to chase Li Baotian, but after thinking about it, she put her foot down again.
She sat on the edge of the kang in a daze, with a look of sadness on her face.
what to do?
Will Zhou Yong cause trouble for himself?
Li Fengzhi couldn't stop thinking about it, and the words Li Baotian said echoed in her mind.
"It's something without any evidence. I don't think they can do anything to me..."
She comforted herself and gradually calmed down.
The sound of chaotic footsteps reached Li Fengzhi's ears. Her heart trembled and she hurried out to meet them.
When the people from the public security brigade came, Li Fengzhi's eyelids twitched. She was arrested for stealing public funds.
Li Fengzhi acted like a scoundrel and refused to go with the people from the public security brigade.
For this kind of shrew, the public security brigade of each village has to deal with it on its own. They won't leave, right? Then I'll carry you away.
Li Fengzhi was carried to the Public Security Brigade, where Zhou Yong sat in as the brigade captain and deputy brigade captain interrogated her.
"Tell me, where did your family get the money to pay off the famine?"
Li Fengzhi stammered and couldn't say anything. Zhou Yong looked at her with a smile. The captain slammed the table, which scared her.
"If you confess, you will be treated leniently; if you resist, you will be treated severely. You should think it over carefully."
Li Fengzhi gradually lowered her head. The captain sneered: "You still won't tell the truth, right? Then don't blame me for being merciless..."
Since she refused to confess anything, the captain wanted to send her to the police station.
Li Fengzhi was terrified. She shook her head in panic, crying and begging the captain not to send her to the police station.
The captain slammed the table again and said, "Then tell me the truth. Did you steal the public funds that the Li family of Huaixi Village had deposited at home?"
Li Fengzhi hesitated for a long time before saying, "I didn't take the money. My daughter Tang Yulian took it secretly. By the time I found out about it, many days had passed. She was just a child after all, so I scolded her.
It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been greedy. Zhou Yong, please forgive my aunt. Your sister is still young. Please show some leniency..."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Fengzhi, who only wanted to protect herself and didn't care about her daughter's life or death. He was deeply shocked by her words.
If he were Li Fengzhi, he would rather take all the blame himself than drag his daughter into this.
Zhou Yong sighed in his heart and thought that Li Fengzhi was a really good mother.
"Zhou Yong, my aunt knows she was wrong. Please forgive me for Caiyun's sake. I will definitely change my ways..."
Forgive her?
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows, thinking that Li Fengzhi was really ridiculous.
When she was stealing the money, why didn't she think about the harm it would bring to her brother and family?
Now I realize I regret it, but it's too late!
Zhou Yong's smile was full of sarcasm, and he said without disguising: "I, Zhou Yong, don't have an aunt as heartless and ungrateful as you, so don't even think about having any relationship with me..."
Li Fengzhi mistakenly thought that if she pushed the blame on Tang Yulian, Zhou Yong would spare her because of her young age. Unfortunately, she miscalculated.
