After leaving the police station, Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard house listlessly, like a wilted eggplant.
When she got home and saw that both her daughters were there, Qin Huairu felt a little relieved, but then she started to overthink again.
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die. We have to think of a way."
Thinking about the fact that she would be going to study reform the day after tomorrow, Qin Huairu stood up again and looked towards the front yard.
Now, the only people who can help and speak up for us are the Sun family.
She decided to give it a try, and also bring her two daughters along, so she could also play the victim.
"Xiao Dang, Huaihua, come with Mom to visit Grandma's house in the front yard. Remember, be good and sweet-talk yourselves."
"good!"
What can two children understand? They do exactly what adults teach them.
After saying that, the adult and the two children walked towards the front yard…
Meanwhile, at the Sun family home, Sun Dajiang and his wife were sitting at the table with their son-in-law's family, drinking tea and chatting.
Several small pastries were placed on the table, and the grandson and granddaughter-in-law were enjoying them immensely.
"Slow down, slow down," Lin Wencui called out to the two little ones from the side.
Through their conversation, Zhou Weimin and his wife learned about what had happened in the past two days.
However, upon hearing that the case had been solved and the adults and children were safe, the two were relieved.
Only Sun Zhenghong was still a little angry. After venting his dissatisfaction, he talked to his mother about his nephew.
Is the older woman home?
Upon hearing the familiar voice coming from the doorway, the faces of the people chatting and laughing inside immediately darkened.
Lin Wencui got up and opened the door, only to see Qin Huairu and her family of three standing at the door. She didn't even have the intention of welcoming them inside.
"Qin Huairu, my daughter and son-in-law are here! What do you need?"
Qin Huairu could tell that Lin Wencui's tone was unpleasant, but she didn't think much of it.
Thinking she was disturbing someone, she quickly spoke to the child next to her.
Why didn't you call for help?
The two children immediately realized what was happening and shouted in unison, "Hello, Grandma!"
"Oh, hello children!"
Lin Wencui wasn't angry with the child. She happily agreed and then looked at Qin Huairu to see what she was up to.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Ma'am, we've come here to ask you for a favor. My son has been arrested by the police. Could you please help us go to the police station and find out what happened?"
"Hehehe! Qin Huairu, what's the use of coming to me if your son has been arrested? You should go to the police. I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."
After saying that, before Qin Huairu could react, Lin Wencui closed the door and went back inside.
She didn't want to talk to such a drama queen for even a second longer; it was a complete waste of time.
Inside the room, Sun Dajiang and the others heard every single word of the conversation between the two men.
Seeing how Lin Wencui handled it, I didn't feel there was anything wrong with it; on the contrary, I felt quite relieved.
Qin Huairu, who was standing outside the door, was dumbfounded. She didn't know why either.
Why is that helpful old lady reacting so strongly today?
She was truly at her wit's end, because among all the people she knew, there was no one who could actually speak to the police station.
no way?
With a gloomy face, Qin Huairu took her two children home first, and could only wait and see how things unfolded.
...
Time flew by and it was already the third year of junior high. Today, Sun Zhengguo didn't go anywhere; he just stayed home and waited.
From the morning onwards, people have been coming to visit in a steady stream…
On the other side, Sun Dajiang was also very busy, with quite a few people visiting his house, coming and going, making it quite lively.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Li was discharged from the hospital, and the whole family gathered at the courtyard house again.
This year, due to a lot of things to do, Sun Dajiang had no choice but to not even go back to his hometown. He can only go there again when he has time.
Meanwhile, today was also the day Qin Huairu was to report to the subdistrict office, and she dared not not to go. In the end, she could only leave her two children with Aunt Yan and go to the subdistrict office alone.
Meanwhile, Section Chief Liu from the subdistrict office received a notification from the police station early in the morning.
Upon learning the full details of the case, Section Chief Liu was utterly speechless; the Jia family just couldn't seem to have a moment's peace.
Just then, Qin Huairu came to report for duty. Section Chief Liu was looking for a place to vent his anger, and now the main character had arrived.
"Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you? I only gave you three days off, can't your family just stay home for a bit? Why does one thing keep happening after another? How am I supposed to save face as a district official?"
"I'm sorry, Section Chief Liu, please don't be angry. The child is still young and doesn't understand. He will definitely understand when he grows up a few more years."
Qin Huairu looked at Section Chief Liu cautiously, still trying to argue her point.
At that moment, she was unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
Upon hearing her say this, Section Chief Liu knew that she was probably unaware of the situation.
"Qin Huairu, your son isn't young anymore, he's 12 this year, right? Do you know what he did wrong?"
After hearing what Section Chief Liu said, Qin Huairu shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing about it.
Seeing her expression, Section Chief Liu sighed deeply. No wonder she wasn't flustered at all.
"Qin Huairu, your son has committed a serious crime this time. He stole from two households in your courtyard, and the amount involved is as high as several thousand yuan. You really knew nothing about it?"
"What?" This sudden news startled Qin Huairu so much that her lips trembled. "No wonder! No wonder!..."
At this moment, her world collapsed. It turned out that the theft at the Sun family's residence was committed by her son.
"How dare he!...How dare he!?"
Qin Huairu was in a state of utter despair, beyond words.
Given the high amount of money involved in this case, what will the verdict be?
In an instant, Qin Huairu's emotions were unpredictable, with shock, collapse, worry, confusion, and helplessness all rushing into her mind.
Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, it seemed she truly didn't know the truth. Section Chief Liu shook his head, deciding not to criticize her further.
After a long while, Qin Huairu, who had regained her senses, knelt down in front of Section Chief Liu with a thud.
"Section Chief Liu, I beg you, please give me two more days off, no, just one more day off, so I can go back and beg that old lady to forgive my son this time. Please, please..."
Qin Huairu kowtowed repeatedly, one after another, which made Section Chief Liu's face turn pale with anger.
"Qin Huairu, even at this point, how can you still be so unreasonable? Your son has committed a crime, and it's no use begging anyone. Forget about it, I will never agree to your request."
But Qin Huairu wouldn't listen to any of that; she kept banging on her head and muttering incantations.
"Please, please..."
Section Chief Liu had initially felt some sympathy for her plight, but upon seeing this situation, even that last bit of sympathy vanished.
He then went to the door and shouted to the room not far away, "Come here, take Qin Huairu away."
The armed men in the room were people specifically responsible for reforming bad elements.
Upon hearing the shouts, they immediately grabbed ropes and rushed out, heading straight for Section Chief Liu's office.
When Qin Huairu saw these killing gods rushing over, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she knelt there, not daring to utter a single word.
Without saying a word, the armed men stepped forward, tied her up tightly, and then took her to the cowshed.
As for what they're going there to do? Only the people involved know; outsiders have no way of knowing...
