Jiang Mingyue returned home covered in injuries, and before she even reached her doorstep, she ran into her neighbor.
Not wanting to be laughed at by her neighbors, she tried to cover it up, but a sharp-eyed neighbor recognized her: "Jiang Mingyue, what happened to your face?"
Jiang Mingyue lied: "I fell by accident."
"Come on, who would fall and get bruises like yours that look like they were scratched by a shrew?" The neighbor knew her character; she must have gotten herself into trouble.
She was delighted to see the show: "It's good that you're back. Your parents have been arrested. Go check with the harvest committee."
"What?" Jiang Mingyue was stunned. Why didn't this happen in her previous life?
Thinking of Ruan Yunxi's phone call, Jiang Mingyue gritted her teeth: "It's all that bitch's fault!"
Jiang Mingyue disregarded her embarrassment and immediately went to the land expropriation committee, whereupon her parents had indeed been arrested.
As soon as she arrived, they arrested her along with the committee and locked her in a cowshed, letting the three of them experience the joy of being sent down to the countryside in advance.
Jiang Weisong asked, "Where is your Director Wang?"
"What Director Wang? That's all in the past. Our current leader is Director Niu. If you need anything, talk to Director Niu. Director Wang suffered a stroke and is paralyzed. He can't come right now. He can't come to work and has been forced into early retirement." The person who spoke was smug. He was one of Director Niu's men.
Jiang Weisong's expression changed: "How could he have a stroke?"
"Who knows? Anyway, he suddenly had a stroke and became paralyzed. Poor Director Wang!" the person said hypocritically.
Then he threatened Jiang Weisong and his men: "Tell me honestly, where are your big and small yellow croakers hidden? Do you admit to bribing Director Wang, as mentioned in the tip-off call?"
Jiang Weisong naturally denied it: "Whoever reported me, go find them. I am innocent and would never do anything to damage my reputation."
The person asking the question laughed angrily: "Fine, let's see how much backbone you have left. You all stay put tonight, and tomorrow we'll bring in the person who reported you. Let's see if you admit it or not."
Jiang Weisong: "......"
As soon as they got off work, the Jiang family gathered together.
Jiang Mingyue asked, "Dad, did you really bribe them?"
Jiang Weisong said irritably, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been arrested."
Jiang's mother asked, "Why did you come here? How could you be so silly as to not ask your uncle for help?"
"What happened to your face?" Jiang Weisong looked at his daughter's face, which was covered in so many unblemished pieces, and felt heartbroken.
Jiang Mingyue felt guilty and ashamed: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I've dragged you into this."
Jiang Weisong: "???"
Jiang Mingyue explained that she couldn't help but provoke Ruan Yunxi, and only then did they realize why this had happened.
Jiang's mother was so angry that she was about to hit her. Seeing the injury on her face, she slapped her: "You brat, why are you so impatient? Didn't I tell you to wait until things calmed down before showing up? Why didn't you listen!"
"What do we do now?" Jiang Mingyue was in the wrong.
Jiang Weisong said with exasperation, "What can we do? Just let it be!"
They were all wiped out; they couldn't even move around.
Thinking about the small gold bars and large yellow croakers he had hidden, no one else knew about them except him. Anyway, as long as he insisted that he didn't have them, those people couldn't do anything about it.
At worst, they can stay locked up for a few more days.
Ruan Yunxi learned of Jiang Mingyue's family's arrest the following day.
The family compound received a call specifically requesting to see her.
Ruan Yunxi answered the phone and found out that it was someone from the land management committee calling to confirm some details about her report from yesterday and to ask her to go to the city.
Ruan Yunxi left a note for Gu Weizhou, told Sister-in-law Sheng, and then hitched a ride into the city.
