When he got home, he didn't see anyone. Without thinking, he pushed open the door of the room where his eldest daughter slept.
The room was pitch black, so he quickly turned on the light at the door.
The moment the light was turned on, Lu Mianmian, who was not sleeping very deeply, was also awakened by the light.
"Mianmian, hurry up and sign this, otherwise your mother and your brother won't be able to come!"
Faced with the sudden appearance of her father, Lu Mianmian rubbed her eyes and was stunned for a while. When she gradually came to her senses, she looked at Lu Zhicai happily.
"Dad! Why were you released? Did they find out the truth?"
When Lu Zhicai heard the three words "check it out", his eyes were a little evasive, and he gave a few ambiguous explanations.
"Yes, yes, Dad is fine. It's your mom and your brother who were left behind. They were murdered. It's abhorrent that someone blamed them for your grandpa and your mom's deaths."
Hearing that her family members were wrongly accused, Lu Mianmian was filled with indignation.
"Are these police officers just there to eat? How could they arrest you and lock you up in the police station for such nonsense? It makes me so angry!"
Time waits for no one, and Lu Zhicai, sweating profusely, quickly handed the paper in his hand to her.
"Dad knows, please sign this quickly so I can save your brother."
Lu Mianmian was obedient by nature, so she immediately took the pen, but when her hand was suspended in mid-air, she remembered something.
"Is my signature all that's needed for this? Where's Ginger Candy?"
"Your sister needs to sign too. She just got here and I almost forgot about her. Can you help me get her down from upstairs? I'll go outside and take a break first."
After running all the way from the police station to his home, he finally took a break at home and was reluctant to move.
"Okay, then I'll ask her to come downstairs. You rest outside for a while and have a glass of water."
They couldn't let this matter delay their trip, so Lu Mianmian put on a coat without thinking and knocked on Jiang Tangtang's door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Tangtang, hurry up and get up. Don't fall asleep yet. I have something important to talk to you about."
At this time, Jiang Tangtang had just fallen asleep not long ago.
Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Tangtang immediately opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
"Sister, what's the matter at this hour? It's so late, I want to sleep."
Lu Mianmian outside the door became angry.
"Don't you know something happened at home? You're still asleep. Dad's here. He wants to talk to you about something. Hurry up and get up. Don't sleep anymore."
In her eyes, her sister is not very smart, and she never likes others to refute her.
Is Lu Zhicai here?
At this time, I don’t know why he came here. Logically, he should be waiting for the verdict in the police station.
Now that the guests are here, the show must be performed. Jiang Tangtang said "oh", lifted the quilt, got out of bed, put on shoes, and opened the door.
"Hurry up, Dad and I are waiting for you downstairs. I'll sign first."
Sign? Jiang Tangtang felt something was wrong and quickly pulled Lu Mianmian back.
"What are you signing?"
"You'll know once you get down here. Hurry up and stop dawdling. Why are you always so slow in doing anything?"
No matter what her younger sister does, she doesn't like it, so she always finds fault with her.
"OK."
Afraid that Lu Mianmian wouldn't notice, she signed the document first, and Jiang Tangtang quickly ran downstairs.
On the sofa, Lu Zhicai, with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes, was drinking water from a cup in his hand. When he saw the two sisters coming down from upstairs, he dropped the cup and stood up.
"Come and sign quickly. Sign quickly, and then you two can go to sleep. Don't worry about the rest."
On the table in front of him were two pens and a piece of official paper.
Jiang Tangtang walked to the front of the table suspiciously, took the paper and opened it.
"Dad, you're finally here! What is this letter of understanding...? Why do we have to sign it?"
Deliberately pretending to be confused, Jiang Tangtang stared at him innocently.
At this time, signing was the important matter, so Lu Zhicai forced a smile and made up a few lies to explain the reason.
"The police station made a mistake. I was afraid to tell you and scare you. You know they've been cracking down on capitalist-roaders lately, right? Someone went to the police station today to slander our family, saying your mother didn't die in an accident. Don't you know for sure whether it was an accident or not? Those people are just trying to destroy our family!"
"Shui Niang was afraid that you little ones would be hurt by what you said, and she was also afraid that the bad guy would succeed and destroy our family, so she admitted the crime. This is not a small matter, she is punishable by death. Now the police have asked our family to sign a letter of apology. Dad had no choice but to wake you up..."
His words were sincere, yet there seemed to be helplessness and reluctance in his words.
When Lu Mianmian heard this, her mouth pursed, her nose twitched, and she was instantly moved.
"Although Shui Niang is not my stepmother, she is very kind to us. I know my mother died in an accident. Dad, I will sign the document immediately. You should bring my brother and mom here as soon as possible!"
Seeing his pretentious look, Jiang Tangtang didn't show it on her face, but she was sneering in her heart.
Jiang Tangtang knew that she couldn't sign this. She snatched all the pens away and looked very angry.
"Sister! Our stepmother is so kind to us. If she really signs the agreement, wouldn't that mean she's admitted to a crime? How can we wrongly accuse her?"
Lu Mianmian was stunned when she heard this out of the blue.
"Yes, that's right, Dad. She didn't do this. If we sign, it means we acknowledge it. When our stepmother comes, what will the neighbors think of her?"
