"No, let me go! You're bullying me! These officials are ganging up on me!" Li's mother shouted as she forcefully pushed aside the police officers standing nearby and ran straight outside.
Seeing this, the police officer behind him took a quick step and chased after him: "If you run again, your sentence will be increased."
The old man had been watching coldly the whole time, and said to Han's father in a cold voice, "Which of you has time to go and keep an eye on things? You keep getting reported. Do you really think our Han family is easy to bully?"
They'll show respect tenfold if others treat them with respect, but if someone tries to take advantage of them, they'll be prepared to break their teeth.
Han's father understood what his father meant, so he quickly tidied himself up and followed behind the police.
The commotion drew the attention of the neighbors, who came over to see what was going on. Soon, they saw a figure dart past them, followed by several police officers.
An old woman is no match for the police and was quickly pinned to the ground.
Li's mother lay on the ground, screaming and shouting regardless of the danger: "Help! Someone come quick! The police and officials are colluding! The two families have conspired to harm this old woman! I'm going to sue you!!"
"It's not fair! God, please send down a bolt of lightning to strike these heartless scoundrels dead! I'm innocent!"
The police officer suppressed his temper, handcuffed the man, and felt the different looks from those around him. He didn't know how to start explaining.
Fortunately, Aunt Li, who was standing nearby, was quick-witted. She somehow produced a piece of smelly cloth and stuffed it into her mother's mouth. "Look, everyone, this is the person who came here yesterday to take advantage of others. When they didn't get what they wanted, they went to the police station to report them. The police proved that it was a false accusation, so they took them away."
Aunt Li has a very clear way of thinking; she explained the matter clearly in just a few simple words.
These kinds of things happen all the time these days. Countless good people have had their families torn apart because of the revenge of bad people, especially those who were once in the eye of the storm and now hate such people the most.
"It's too lenient for someone like you to just be locked up. You should be sent to the hardest and most exhausting cowshed so you can experience what it's like to be misunderstood and reported." An old woman couldn't help but spit.
One of her relatives is a university professor who has a good relationship with her family. He is a good person and always willing to lend a hand. The family was living a good life, but he was reported by one of his students and is now still missing. She really hates people like that.
"You absolutely cannot let this go so easily. Look at the state of the nation's morals! If things continue like this, what will become of the country?"
“We know everyone who lives here. Which family hasn’t made huge sacrifices? If you know nothing and are just envious, you should be sent to the front lines so you can remember your past life and then you’ll behave.”
The onlookers were almost all criticizing it; they genuinely hated such behavior, which was done for their own benefit.
After understanding the situation, everyone's emotions stabilized somewhat, and they came to their senses more or less.
Most people just felt sad and worried about the future. The country is in dire need of rebuilding, and if it is dragged down by such things every day, how can it develop?
How can others have the confidence to continue building the country? Their hearts are completely disillusioned, and in the end, it's others who benefit. Everyone is trapped in internal strife, and they will only be bullied in the future. Why doesn't anyone understand this?
Soon, the Li mother and daughter were taken to the police station. Once they arrived, they became truly frightened and kept crying.
"Comrade, can you please let me go? I won't report it anymore, okay? I'll just take the loss myself, okay? I won't sue anymore." Tears and snot streamed down Li's face. Without a doubt, this person genuinely regretted it.
"Officer, we just acted on impulse. The things we reported were all made up. We just wanted to vent our anger."
"We really know we were wrong, we're willing to apologize, please don't lock me up, okay?"
"Hmph, you don't know the pain until it happens to you. Before this happened, we repeatedly emphasized that you shouldn't make baseless accusations without evidence. This is not a trivial matter. What did you say? You even said that the other party must have broken the law."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you troublemakers. Let me tell you, you insisted on going to jail, so you can't blame anyone else. You'd better suffer from now on!" After saying that, the policeman took the two men inside, completely ignoring their cries.
Soon, Mr. Li arrived after receiving the news. He was drinking at home, happily waiting for his wife and daughter to return with a considerable sum of money, dreaming of a comfortable life for their family in the future.
Who knew that instead of getting their money back, the two men were going to jail. They quickly packed their things and rushed over. As soon as they saw the police officer, they grabbed him and asked, "Comrade, comrade, my family member is always gossipy. It wasn't intentional. Could you apologize and explain so we can let this matter go?"
"Gossip? If something this serious comes up on our end, it's a false accusation!"
"Go away, if you're just here to cause trouble, don't blame us for throwing you out." The police officer was furious as soon as he saw the Li family.
Receiving such a report is incredibly nerve-wracking, and then they have to talk about collusion in the courtyard. If this isn't handled properly, I could still lose my job.
What kind of awful people are in this family? They still haven't realized how serious the situation is.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li swallowed hard: "False accusation? How is this a false accusation? People aren't held responsible for reporting anything..."
"It's definitely a false accusation. We'll let you know the specific number of years you'll be sentenced to labor camp. If you're not satisfied, you can continue to appeal." After saying that, the policeman pushed the person away: "Aren't you leaving yet? Haven't you realized your mistake?"
"Were you also involved in this behind the scenes?" At this point, the police officer pointed impatiently at Li's father and said, "Come here, come over here and cooperate with the investigation."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li's heart skipped a beat, and his entire body felt ice-cold. What did the police mean? Were they going to arrest him too? No, no, no.
He was already too old to go in, so Li's father hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "I didn't, I didn't, I'm leaving right now, right now." With that, he ran out of the police station in a very flustered manner.
He ran for a good five or six minutes before stopping, fearing that the police would really arrest him.
When they stopped, Li's father found that his clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat.
It's over. His wife and children are both in jail, and their reputations are ruined. His reputation is ruined too.
