Chapter 147 We can't let ourselves be dragged down.
Lin Guangsheng has been arrested!
The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire town of Berlin, including the village production teams under Berlin's jurisdiction.
Lin Guangyi was inspecting the villagers at work when he heard the news, and he almost stumbled and fell into the stream: "What did you say? My older brother has been arrested?"
"Will we be implicated?" This was the question that came to Lin Guangyi's mind subconsciously.
"I don't know." The other person shook their head.
Lin Guangyi waved his hand, he needed to find someone to ask him clearly: "Alright, I'll go ask. You go back and don't talk about this."
"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."
"Hmm." Lin Guangyi returned home absentmindedly, and at this time, only his elderly father could give him something to talk about.
But before he even got home, Lin Aisheng arrived: "Guangyi, did you know that Brother Guangsheng was arrested?"
"Aisheng, I just found out about this too."
"Then what should we do?"
Do you know anyone in the county?
Lin Aisheng frowned: "If I knew you, I wouldn't have come looking for you."
"I don't know him either."
"Fine, I'll go find someone." Lin Aisheng didn't think much of Lin Guangyi's attitude, but she didn't say anything and turned to leave. It seemed that relying on Lin Guangyi at this point was not an option.
Lin Aisheng came quickly and left quickly.
Lin Aisheng's side received the news, and so did the others.
"How did Guang Sheng get arrested?"
"This news must be fake."
"Really, they arrested him in front of a lot of people."
"This is impossible. Someone actually dares to arrest Guangyi. Aren't they afraid of God?"
"Who knows? Anyway, this will definitely end up being nothing."
"That person is probably an idiot."
"I don't know if it's stupid or not, but it's definitely going to be bad luck."
"I don't think so. I think that person did the right thing. You all fawn over that little peach blossom all day long. What's so special about a little girl like her?"
"Exactly, exactly, I've disliked it for a long time."
"Tell me, did you report this?"
"What report? What did we do? We didn't do anything. It's just that the people above have sharp eyes and can see it. Bah! Do you really think Lin Guangsheng is so powerful? And that little girl? It's just a coincidence that you pinned it on some random person. If you ask me, this is because you've been walking in the dark too many times. Not everyone can be blinded by you. You deserve it, huh? Good job catching him this time. He should have been caught. He'll never be able to turn his life around."
"Hey, why are my hands so itchy!"
"What do you want to do! If you hit someone, I won't be polite!"
"Alright, alright, what's all this noise about?"
"Exactly, why bother arguing with some people who aren't thinking straight?"
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it, let's just wait and see."
"I just saw the brigade leader go back. He's probably trying to figure something out. We can't just rely on God. That would make us seem useless."
That makes sense.
The talk was quite heated, but of course, that meant that very few people actually did anything about it.
After all, the saying "to protect oneself is wise" is not just a casual remark.
Furthermore, they firmly believed that Lin Guangsheng would be fine; after all, the captain hadn't left the house since he returned. With the captain's attitude, it meant that Guangsheng's arrest was just a formality.
Lin Guangsheng, returning home: ...
He wasn't calmly convinced that his older brother was alright; he was simply powerless to do anything about it.
Being a brigade leader and managing the production team is fine, but if he really wants to do something else, not to mention whether he has the ability, even the two women in his family can hold him back.
"Anyway, you can't get involved in this, or what if it implicates our family! I told you long ago that Xiao Taohua is weird, that so-called 'God's favorite daughter' is all a lie. We should have separated from my brother's family earlier, what are we going to do now!" Wang Qiu was extremely anxious inside the house, but she still couldn't help but warn Lin Guangyi: "Did you hear that? Don't get involved in this. Once things are settled, you must sever ties with my brother!"
Grandma Lin looked at her second son and said, "Your wife is right, we can't let this matter drag us down."
Although Old Man Lin didn't say anything, he meant the same thing.
Lin Guangsheng felt a little guilty, but he couldn't fight city hall, especially since he had such a large family, unlike his older brother who only had a family of three: "Don't worry, I know."
"Well, if things don't improve, sever ties as soon as possible. I'll speak for you." Old Mrs. Lin tapped her pipe.
"Dad, where will we live from now on?"
"If your older brother really passes away, this place will still be ours."
Wang Qiu's eyes lit up: "Dad is right."
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad." Lin Guangyi had no objections.
That's what we discussed, but the atmosphere at home was still somewhat somber.
Lin Yuqing's children finally ran home, having just heard the news: "Mom and Dad, Uncle has had an accident."
Lin Guangyi glared at his son: "Shut up, what are you shouting about!"
"But what about my uncle..."
"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters!"
Lin Yuqing could only lower her head and say, "Yes, Dad," after being told off by Lin Guangyi.
"Go do your homework. You're all so old and still so impulsive. You guys are the same."
"Yes, Dad."
Today is Xiao Taohua's first day of school after skipping a grade. She is a 7-year-old fifth-grade student. When she arrived at the classroom, everyone was surprised and looked at her with curiosity.
"Alright, let me introduce you all. This is Lin Xiaotao, she's 7 years old and will be in your class from now on. You're all big kids, so don't bully Lin Xiaotao, okay?"
"Yes, teacher."
"Hmm, not bad." The teacher looked at the obedient students and rearranged the seats near the podium, letting Little Peach Blossom, who was carrying a stool, sit there: "Lin Xiaotao, you will sit here from now on."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
"You're welcome. If anyone in the class bullies you, just tell the teacher, okay?"
"I understand," Little Peach Blossom nodded.
Mr. Wu was quite pleased to have such a gifted student in his class; this was a student he had gone to great lengths to recruit. With a smug look on his face, Mr. Wu left the classroom, since the first class wasn't his.
The teacher left, and although everyone was curious, they didn't immediately gather around. After all, they were all older children, not little kids anymore.
Sitting among a group of older children, Xiao Taohua remained calm and attentive during class. When the teacher called on her to answer questions, she answered quickly and well, earning the admiration of her classmates once again.
He truly deserves to be called a little genius.
In this atmosphere, when school was over, someone finally got restless and started to walk over. However, before the student could even get there, someone else ran up to him faster: "Lin Xiaotao, something happened to your family! Your dad was arrested by bad guys and taken to the county!"
Wow!
Little Peach Blossom suddenly turned around!
