Xu Wan went downstairs and searched around, but couldn't find the boy who had been drawing earlier, so she had to go back upstairs.
She emptied the money from the envelope and found a letter inside.
Sister, I don't know how much your consultation fee is, but I guess the consultation fees at Tianyuan Law Firm must be quite high. I don't know if 2000 yuan is enough. If it's not, then I'm sorry, this is all the money in my card, and I can't afford any more.
Perhaps because Lin Yu studied art, his handwriting, like himself, looks clean, refreshing, and very pleasing to the eye.
Xu Wan sighed helplessly.
He put the envelope in his desk drawer, leaving the money inside untouched.
When it was time to leave work, thinking of her mother waiting for her at home, Xu Wan packed up all the things she needed for overtime work and left the law firm on time to go home.
As soon as she entered the house, the aroma of the food filled her nostrils.
"You're back?" Xu Pingrong came out of the kitchen upon hearing the noise and said with a smile, "The supermarket you took me to last time had expensive vegetables. Today, Auntie took me to the market near our house. The vegetables there are fresh and cheap. I bought a lot and will cook different dishes for you from now on."
"Mom, I can do it too. If you feel tired, you can do it when I get home."
Xu Wan used to visit the prison every two months.
But when I helped my mother take a bath, I found that she was much thinner than I had imagined, and there were signs of aging on her face. It was because she had suffered too much over the years.
“Why am I tired? You guys are tired from work. I’m in prison, and every day I think about getting out so I can cook for you every day. That makes me feel like I have a lot to look forward to.”
Xu Pingrong smiled with great satisfaction.
Looking at her mother, Xu Wan became even more determined. No matter what happened, she would not let her mother go to prison.
-
But things never go as planned.
On Wednesday morning, Xu Wan had just arrived at Tianwei's legal department office when she received a call from the police.
An Jia has already reported the incident to the police, and they need her to cooperate with the investigation.
To minimize the impact, Xu Wan had no choice but to ask Gao Han for leave and drive to the police station alone.
Regarding what happened back then, Xu Wan always felt that so many years had passed that the An family wouldn't have any substantial evidence.
However, when they arrived at the police station, the police actually produced evidence.
Not long after Xu Pingrong took her away from the An family and returned to Yinyi Town, Xu Wan's father took these jewelry pieces and pawned them.
The pawnshop owner had kept a record for many years. With the clue provided by the An family, the police investigated and confirmed that Xu Wan's father had indeed pawned the jewelry not long after Xu Pingrong left the An family.
“Police, those jewels really were given to my mother by her. Although our family is poor, my mother has always worked hard to earn money and has never had any crooked thoughts.”
Xu Wan defended her mother.
The police officer said, "Xiao Yinlan said that your mother is short of money. If she really wanted to help your mother, she should have given her money, not these jewels that you have no way to sell."
“I don’t know, but my mother isn’t that kind of person.”
“Ms. Xu, I understand that you sympathize with your mother, but you are not a party to this case, so we still need to take a statement from your mother.”
Xu Wan tried very hard to explain things clearly.
Sitting in the police station now, I realize how difficult this is.
She was only four years old at the time and doesn't even remember having her blood drawn, so her words are of no reference value.
Xu Wan looked at the police, her eyes welling up with tears. "Could you... not see my mother for now? My mother just got out of prison, and any setback could cause her to have a mental breakdown. Or you can talk about it if you have more compelling evidence. My mother is with us every day, and I promise she won't run away."
The two police officers exchanged a glance. "We need to go through some procedures first to understand the situation and try not to put any psychological pressure on your mother. However, if we get stronger evidence later, given the huge value of these pieces of jewelry, we may have to detain your mother."
"Okay, okay, then... when are you going to see my mother? I want to go with you."
Xu Wan knew that this was the biggest compromise they could make within their authority.
The policeman said, "If you're free this morning, let's go then."
