Li Dajun said with a sad face, "Who knows him? Your mother personally sent him to the village entrance that day and he got on a van and left. It seems that your brother got greedy on the way and beat up the boss who was recruiting workers, stole his watch and money and ran away, but was caught on the spot on the way."

After hearing the whole story, Li Li was so angry that her chest hurt.

"What about Mom? What does this have to do with Mom? Why was Mom arrested as well?"

Li Dajun explained with shame: "You know your mother's temper. When she heard that Zhijie was arrested, she got angry and even drew her knife. The police handcuffed her and charged her with assaulting a police officer."

Li Li: “…”

Although she was furious, after all, they were her blood relatives, so Li Li couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Li Li didn't even have time to eat. She locked Ling Chunhua and Ling Jiale at home, and took Li Dajun to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the news.

The father and daughter first went to the detention center where Li Zhijie was detained.

Li Zhijie had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. When he saw Li Li and Li Dajun, he yelled at them to rescue him.

Life in the detention center was not easy. Li Zhijie had an untidy beard and bruises all over his face, which made Li Li angry and distressed.

If it weren't for the iron net between them, she would have wanted to punch the other person a few times.

"Dad, sister, I know I was wrong. Please think of a way to get me out. This is not a place for people to stay. Those people bully me every day. Look at my face and body, they are all beaten by them..."

Li Li yelled angrily, "Now you know you're wrong, why didn't you do anything earlier! Did you listen to anything I told you before?"

Li Zhijie cried, "Sister, I really know I was wrong. Please save me first. I promise to listen to you in the future. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

"What can a woman like me do? Not only did you rob people, you also injured them. You were caught red-handed. There are witnesses and evidence. Even the king of heaven can't save you this time!"

"It's not me. I was wrongly accused. I didn't hurt him. I just took his watch and money..."

Like everyone else, no matter how hard Li Zhijie tried to persuade them, Li Li and Li Dajun simply did not believe that their brother (son) had not hurt anyone.

It was already very late when they came out of the detention center, so Li Li had to take Li Dajun home to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Li asked Ling Chunhua to stay at home to look after her son, while she and Li Dajun went out to the Public Security Bureau to resolve Zhu Hongping's matter.

Considering that Zhu Hongping had an attitude of admitting his mistakes and repenting, and that it was also a first offense, the Public Security Bureau did not make things difficult for Li Li and her daughter. As long as they paid a fine of 100 yuan, they could take Zhu Hongping home. Otherwise, Zhu Hongping would be detained for 15 days as a public security punishment.

In the Li family, Zhu Hongping has always been in charge of the financial power. However, all the money in Zhu Hongping's hands had been emptied by Li Zhijie, and Li Dajun didn't even have 10 yuan on him.

Although Li Li had saved some money, it was still far from the 100 yuan fine.

Furthermore, Li Li also had her own selfish motives. She had worked so hard to save up some money, and if she used it to pay Zhu Hongping's fine, then all her work over the years would have been in vain.

"Dad, our family is in this situation now, how can we afford 100 yuan to pay the fine? I think we should let Mom accept the public security punishment."

Seeing that Li Dajun was hesitant, Li Li advised him again: "Dad, think about it, you can't earn 100 yuan a year from farming those few acres of contracted land at home. Mom's 15 days of hardship can earn 100 yuan, it's not a loss."

When you think about it this way, it seems to make sense.

There was another more important reason why Li Li was unwilling to pay the money to get Zhu Hongping out, and that was Li Zhijie.

Li Zhijie will definitely not escape sentencing for the crime he committed, but if he hires a better lawyer to help defend and plead for him, there is a high chance that he can be sentenced to fewer years.

But hiring a lawyer costs money, and it’s not a small amount of money. If Zhu Hongping can’t come up with the money, he will definitely make a fuss and force her to find a way to raise the money.

When Li Li married Ling Jiang, the Ling family still owed a large foreign debt. It took them several years to finally pay off the debt, and her life became a little more comfortable. She was absolutely unwilling to live with the debt again.

What's more, she has provided a lot of support to her parents' family over the years.

Zhu Hongping and Li Zhijie came to her every now and then, eating, drinking and taking things, but she endured it all.

In two years, Ling Jiale will be going to school, and she must make plans for herself.

"Dad, don't worry about Mom and Zhijie. We can't do anything about it. Zhijie has been spoiled by Mom and is lawless. He thinks that if he makes a fuss, someone will cover it up for him. It's better to let him stay in jail for a few years and reform himself."

Li Dajun looked at his daughter worriedly, "Zhijie is the only child in our family. Can we just ignore him?"

Li Li said angrily, "Manage? How? Dad, do you know how much it costs to hire a lawyer? At least hundreds of dollars or even several hundred dollars. Can you afford this money? I don't have it anyway.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Even if we hire a lawyer, Zhijie can't escape being sentenced. At most, he can be sentenced to two years less. But have you ever thought about how hard it will be for our family to owe such a large sum of money? Chunhua and Jiale will soon be of school age. Do they need to pay for their tuition? How much money can you earn from farming the contracted land at home? How long will it take to pay it off? In my opinion, it would be better to save this money and repair the house at home. When Zhijie is released, find him a wife to make a good family. Isn't this much better than hiring a lawyer?"

Li Dajun was a soft-hearted person, and after his daughter's advice, he really gave up the idea of ​​hiring a lawyer for his son.

After seeing Li Dajun off, Li Li breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, she called her husband Ling Jiang and told him about her parents' home.

Although Li Li told him not to interfere, Ling Jiang was a good-natured person. His mother-in-law and brother-in-law had both been arrested, so how could he just sit back and do nothing?

"Chuanzi, something happened to your sister-in-law. I have to go back and take a look."

"What's up?"

"Alas, Zhijie is in trouble again..."

Ling Jiang told the whole story about Li Zhijie's assault and robbery, and Zhu Hongping's attack on the police officers.

Ling Chuan was not surprised to hear this. In fact, he had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. His wife had clearly mentioned that Li Zhijie would get the punishment he deserved. After thinking about it, he felt that the only way was to send Li Zhijie to prison.

On the surface, this plan seems simple, but it is not easy to make it successful. Every link must be considered and scrutinized, and must be linked together perfectly to ensure success.

His daughter-in-law is not only smart, but also very capable.

Ling Chuan's heart was filled with waves of pride and honor.

If he was really busy at the construction site, he would also like to go back with his elder brother to take a look.

Good night~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
