Lin Tao would never have imagined, no matter how hard he tried, that Jiang Ning would put the most important piece of evidence in his locked box!
However, since things had come to this point, even Lin Zhoushi had concluded that he was a thief, and he had no way to defend himself.
Adding to the fact that everyone was eagerly passing around the erotic picture book, Lin Fugui was already extremely angry.
“Uncle Man, go and find the militiamen for me. People like Lin Tao, who have improper thoughts and bad character, should be criticized and denounced by the whole commune.”
Just moments ago, Lin Zhoushi was wailing and crying, but upon hearing that Lin Tao was to be criticized and denounced, she immediately stopped wailing, knelt down, and hugged Lin Fugui's leg.
“Secretary Lin, I did get a little too excited just now. Now I understand. Lin Tao is still young and his character isn’t fully developed. He might have just taken my money for fun. I won’t pursue it anymore, and you shouldn’t either.”
Lin Fugui was also a little embarrassed after hearing this. In the end, this was a family matter. Since the other party was not pursuing it, why should he get involved?
Fortunately, the eyes of the masses are discerning, and waving the book in their hands, they said:
"These are all poisonous plants, aren't you going to investigate?"
Lin Tao retorted irritably, "I only read these books myself, I didn't spread them around, so what kind of poisonous weeds are they!"
Lin Zhou was also furious. What kind of book was it that made everyone make things so difficult for her grandson? She picked up a book to look at, and her old face immediately turned red with embarrassment. The book contained pictures of naked little figures hugging each other, and the scene was too disgusting to look at.
It turns out that when my grandson said he wanted to study behind closed doors, he actually just looked at this thing!
However, to save her grandson from punishment, she still shamelessly said:
"These things were given to me by his grandfather when I was young..."
Now it was Lin Fugui's turn to blush. What had gotten into him today that made him want to mediate such a mess?
"You...you have no shame, but I do! Destroy these books now, and don't come looking for me with this kind of thing again!"
After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back and his face flushed.
Everyone: "......" The Party Secretary just left like that?
What should we do with this book?
Destroy it? That would be such a waste.
Since it's okay for Lin Tao to keep these books, it shouldn't be a problem for them to take one!
A group of men, young and old, exchanged glances, and with lightning speed, grabbed a picture book and ran away.
Within seconds, all the books were snapped up.
The remaining wives and aunts discussed among themselves as they walked back.
"At such an advanced age, the old man has been dead for so many years, and you still watch those kinds of things, you have no shame!"
"Who says otherwise? He's half-buried in the earth. They say a man will think about sex as long as he's breathing. Turns out, women have needs too when they get older!"
Hearing their discussion, and knowing that her grandson had stolen money, Lin Zhoushi was filled with shame and indignation. Overwhelmed with anger and anxiety, she fainted.
"Quick, go get the doctor!" Lin Tao shouted, holding the old lady.
Yu Xiaofeng and Ma Huijuan pretended not to hear and went over to them.
Lin Chen had no choice; he couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. After squeezing Jiang Ning's hand, he got on his bike and rode towards the commune.
Soon, the doctor arrived, examined the old lady, and shook his head, saying:
"She had a stroke. It depends on her willpower. She might wake up tomorrow, but she definitely won't be able to move the right side of her body."
After seeing the doctor off, Yu Xiaofeng called Wang Xiufen out of the house.
“What do you think we should do about the old lady like this? If she becomes bedridden, our family won’t be able to take care of her.”
Wang Xiufen spat on the ground, "Pah! What did they say when they divided the family property? It was all written down in black and white. Now they know they want us to share the burden."
We're acting according to the agreement. Go ahead and try to find the Party Secretary if you dare!
After Wang Xiufen finished speaking, she ignored her.
After returning to the house, she continued eating and comforted Lin Chen, telling him not to feel guilty. She should have thought of this day when the family divided the property. The elders were not kind and the children and grandchildren were not filial. He had already gone to invite a doctor and paid for the medicine, which was better than Lin Tao and the others.
Lin Chen nodded: "Mom, I'm not that shameless."
The group ate their meal, no longer bringing up the topic of the old lady.
Lin Zhoushi lay alone on the bed, her eyes half-open, it was unclear whether she was asleep or awake.
Ma Huijuan, who was sent to look after her, said "bad luck" and reached out to close her eyelids.
In the middle of the night, she was sitting at the other end of the bed, her eyelids drooping with sleep, when someone pinched her thigh hard, making her scream in pain.
Who is it?
In the dim light outside, you could see the old woman raising her withered left hand, preparing to strike a second time.
She broke out in a cold sweat and quickly jumped out of bed.
My goodness, she's come back to life! This old lady is incredibly resilient; she didn't die!
However, she couldn't move her right side at all, and her mouth was crooked. She could only utter single syllables and could no longer speak.
Seeing this, Ma Huijuan stepped forward and slapped her across the face.
"That'll teach you to pinch me earlier! You old geezer, even though you're bedridden and can't move, you're still so vicious!"
Now look what's happened. He can't move or speak, and from now on he'll only be abused.
She pushed the old lady to the far end of the bed, then lay down on the bed and began to fall fast asleep.
The old lady's mind cleared up at this moment, and upon hearing her snoring, she became so angry that she pinched her again.
Ma Huijuan was woken up by her pinching and then slapped her again.
The two tormented each other in their rivalry all night, and neither of them slept well.
The next day, Yu Xiaofeng learned that the old lady was still alive, and immediately passed the buck to Ma Huijuan.
"Mom, I can't do it!" Ma Huijuan refused, her eyes swollen with dark circles.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaofeng let out a sharp cry: "If you don't do it, who will? I still have to take care of your father! Why is my life so miserable? There are two paralyzed people in my family. This is going to torture me to death!"
