Chapter 105 Grandpa Lin Lan was arrested
The two looked at each other, and finally Liang Wei said, "Keep the house. When Xiao Shitou grows up, we will return it to him. However, during the years he has lived in the Salesian Home, the house will belong to the Salesian Home. The Salesian Home can rent it out, and the income will also be used for the Salesian Home."
Shangliu Village is very popular now. Maybe it will slowly expand and become a town in the future. By then, the foundations of the houses in the village will surely rise, and Xiaoshitou's house will surely be easy to rent out.
Of course, not every house living in the Salesian Home can be rented out, and we will have to deal with it based on the specific circumstances when the time comes.
Yue Chai had no objection to this, and was even somewhat happy that the house could be saved.
However, the next moment, he heard Liang Wei's cold voice, "Don't you have any clues about Xiao Shitou's mother?"
Yue Chai was stunned, glanced at the little stone not far away, and shook his head, "She has been missing for several years and has never come back. Even if I want to find her, I don't know where to start."
When Liang Wei heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
In fact, according to his thoughts, Shitou Niang might have long been gone. In this day and age, she couldn't run far without a guide.
Didn’t you see Hu Fulai and Zheng, both of them fled with their families? At most, they only fled to other towns, and it was unlikely that they even left Huaiping County.
If Shi Tou Niang is not dead, then she may still be in Huaiping County, or she may be with another man, or she may have become a servant of a family, or she may have been abducted and sold.
If she is really still alive, we can still find her if we want.
He didn't believe that Yue Chai couldn't think of such a guess.
Sure enough, when he looked at Yue Chai again, the latter's eyes were obviously a little guilty. In fact, Yue Chai secretly didn't want Shitou's mother to come back. In Shitou's situation, it was obvious that he would live better in the orphanage.
With his mother's character, even if she came back, I'm afraid she wouldn't raise Little Shitou well. If she beat and scolded him, and didn't give him food, Little Shitou would be a different Chaochao.
Fortunately, Liang Wei didn't say much. He turned to ask about another matter. "Chao Chao just mentioned the matter of Lin Lan's family. The one who came to me a few days ago and asked me to warn the old Lin family not to harass Lin Lan's mother must be Lin Lan's father, right?"
Yue Chai suddenly reacted, "Yes, it is true."
"Is it true that the old Lin family members were guilty of abandonment?"
Yue Chai broke out in a cold sweat and nodded, "Yes, it's true."
Although the old man of the Lin family has always denied it, anyone with eyes can see that they just wanted to throw Lin Lan's sister away that night.
This matter was revealed every day. When Lord Gao and Lord Liang came to question them, everyone would repeat it.
Yue Chai felt that the Lin family was in trouble.
Sure enough, Liang Wei touched the hilt of the knife at his waist and said to Gao Hongfei, "The old Lin family is guilty of abandonment, and it is known to the world. Although Lin Lan's parents did not sue them, since we know about it, we can't just turn a blind eye."
Gao Hongfei nodded and said, "Just deal with it according to the law."
However, the punishment for attempted abandonment is not that severe.
But Old Man Lin and Old Man Lin II, who were directly involved in this matter, will not be able to escape a beating.
This is a good thing, killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Now that Shangliu Village has attracted so many people's attention, it is a good opportunity to set an example.
The Lin family really didn't expect that this disaster would come so suddenly and unexpectedly.
They were originally thinking that since they had never bullied Chao Chao, they did not need to be as nervous as those who treated Chao Chao badly, and they would not be arrested directly like Jiang Lao San and the other three members of the Hu family.
They look at the sky every day as if they are watching a show.
It was even because Lin Lan had helped Chao Chao many times that their family enjoyed a good life.
It’s a pity that the eldest wife separated from them, otherwise they would be the ones enjoying the good life now.
It was just a division of the family, not a severance of the relationship. The eldest family had money, so it was their duty to be filial and support the two elders. As long as the eldest brother calmed down, they would also have a share of the silver that Chaochao gave them.
Especially, they also heard that the eldest brother and Lin Lan were going to the capital, and the emperor would reward them then, maybe dozens or hundreds of taels, wouldn't that be rich?
The old Lin family had a good idea. The eldest and Lin Lan were both stubborn and hard to talk to. So when they went to the capital, they could just go find the eldest's wife. The eldest's wife was in confinement and needed care. Aren't they the most suitable candidates? If they cooked more meals and helped take care of the children, they could get some money from the thin-skinned eldest's wife.
If she didn't give it to them, it would be a great act of disobedience. Now there are so many people watching in Shangliu Village, and everyone knows that Lin Lan has a good heart. For her reputation, the eldest daughter-in-law dare not be disobedient to them.
The Lin family had a great plan, but who would have thought that before leaving, Father Lin actually went to find Mr. Liang.
Lord Liang sent someone to warn them, and the Lin family was indeed frightened.
But after two days, they started thinking about it again.
It doesn’t matter. Lord Liang is here now, and it’s impossible for him to stay in Shangliu Village all his life.
There is still a lot of time. After Lord Liang leaves, the boss and his men will bring back rewards from the capital, and they can still benefit from it.
The second wife of the Lin family even closed the door to discuss, "The first wife only has two daughters now. The doctor said last time that it would be difficult for the eldest sister-in-law to get pregnant after giving birth to this child. When the two daughters of the first wife are married in the future, won't all the money in their family belong to us?"
Just two days after saying this, I heard Chaochao in Tianmu mention that they had abandoned the eldest wife's child.
When they first heard this, they were just shocked, but thought it was no big deal. It had been so long since the incident, the child had been found in time, and the eldest wife had no intention of suing them, so it would definitely be okay.
Who knew that in the afternoon, several officers came to their door and took them away.
The old Lin family felt like the sky was falling and kept shouting that they were wronged all the way. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lin family were so scared that they almost fainted. They dragged Old Man Lin and Old Second Lin all the way to the village entrance.
Then, this incident was seen by those who were guarding the village entrance.
After asking around, everyone found out that they were the people Tianmu had mentioned, and they all pointed at them.
Upon seeing this, the people from Shangliu Village fell silent, not daring to say a word, let alone help plead for mercy.
What's worse, this incident was like a bucket of cold water poured down on them, chilling their originally hot hearts completely.
These days, because of the sky curtain, Shangliu Village has become the focus of everyone, and countless people have come here after hearing the news. Although they are all blocked at the entrance of the village, they still need food and drink, and the villagers start to do their business.
Most of the people who came here were from wealthy families and were very generous. They would even give a few copper coins for a bowl of hot ginger water, which made the villagers of Shangliu Village think that they would live a good life from then on.
The villagers have indeed made a lot of money from this, and some have already begun to imagine the future.
