When Mr. and Mrs. He heard this, their eyes widened in surprise!
He Wenlin continued, "When my power went out, I saw Song Bo being delivered. I suspected him because he was the only one who had a grudge against my family! Yesterday during the day, when he learned that we were moving, he was very angry and actually wanted to hit me. So I asked Uncle Ruan to help me trick him, and then I tricked the village chief into going there to be a witness. But I didn't expect things to go so smoothly than I imagined."
The main reason was that Song Bo, who seemed so tough, turned cowardly as soon as he saw the police and arrived at the police station.
Most importantly, he was completely ignorant of the law!
They thought that cutting their own electrical wires would solve the problem.
How should I put it?
The house belongs to him, but he deliberately damaged it with intent, which is illegal. However, it did not cause a major impact, so it did not constitute the crime of damaging electrical equipment.
At this moment, the village chief spoke up: "I heard it at the time. Jin Hong only said that he saw what he did last night."
Song Bo paused for a moment, then asked him what he had seen, and warned him not to talk nonsense.
Jin Hong then told him to be more polite, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control his tongue and would tell everyone about him cutting the food factory's power lines. You all know what happened after that, but I can assure you that Jin Hong didn't ask for anything."
After saying that, the village chief signed his statement here.
The police went to find Song Bo again.
Song Bo finally admitted that he believed Ruan Jinhong's subtext was that he was being extorted, and the actual situation was the same as what the village chief said.
After all that work, it was noon when everyone left the police station.
After leaving the police station, He Wenlin solemnly apologized to the village chief: "Uncle Village Chief, I'm so sorry. I didn't explain it to you beforehand. I heard that you like to eat crabs, and I just ordered some recently. We people from Hunan Province are not very good at cooking seafood. I'll bring the crabs to your door later and ask you to give me some pointers."
Upon hearing this, the village chief said, "I wouldn't dare to offer any advice, but I would certainly welcome you to have a meal."
The village chief was initially very angry, feeling that he had been used, but upon hearing these words, he immediately felt relieved.
This girl actually knew to bring him crabs.
The so-called "teaching tips" in cooking is just a pretense.
She's so good at handling things and speaks with such tact; she'll be something else in the future.
When they returned, Ruan Jinhong and the village chief did not leave with the He family.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, He's parents asked He Wenlin, "Did you pay that person to scam Song Bo?"
"Of course it cost money. Are there people in this world who would help you for nothing?"
How much did it cost?
"three hundred."
"That's good." Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Next time, tell us in advance so we can be prepared."
"I'll definitely say it next time, I definitely will."
Mr. He said, "Because of this incident today, the production of egg rolls, dumplings, and steamed buns has been delayed. I don't know if Lin Fei from the fast food restaurant can handle it all by himself. When they come to discuss compensation, we can't accept a penny less!"
It's already midnight.
Lin Fei is shouldering the burden alone, and it's still unknown how things will go.
The family of three returned to the store; the peak hours were over.
When they saw He Hui's family, He Wenlin and her family of three remembered that He Hui's family had promised to come over today!
"You're finally back." He Dayong stepped forward and asked, "I've heard everything from Lin Fei. Are you alright?"
“We’re fine. Cutting electrical wires is illegal, and that bastard is in custody now.” Mr. He was furious when he said this. “Now we’re waiting for his family to come and discuss compensation!”
"Is it illegal to cut your own electrical wires?" Li Jinfeng never expected things to be so serious.
Let's not talk about him; actually, many people in this era don't know about him.
“The house belongs to him, but he rented it to us. Cutting the power lines is unacceptable because it affects us. Moreover, he acted intentionally, so we will definitely lose the lawsuit! However, going to jail is impossible because there hasn't been a major problem. If he cut public power lines and caused a large-scale power outage, or if an accident occurred, he would go to jail,” He Wenlin explained.
“It’s not good to be out there alone; we still need to stick together.” At this point, Li Jinfeng couldn’t help but think of her son, He Hui. If it weren’t for her family here, not only would no one take care of him, but no one would help take him to the hospital.
“That bastard, we’ll make him pay more compensation later!” He Dayong said, then lowered his voice, “Or, we could find a chance to teach him a lesson…”
"Absolutely not!" He Wenlin quickly stopped her. "At the police station, the police emphasized that you shouldn't break the law. Hitting this kind of person is useless and will only get you into trouble. The best way to get revenge on him is to make sure his house can't be rented out!"
Lin Fei exclaimed, "That's a great idea!"
"Nothing went wrong at noon today, right?" He Wenlin asked Lin Fei.
"I made minced meat with pickled green beans, stir-fried bean sprouts, and scrambled eggs with chili for lunch. It was really tiring doing it all by myself, but thankfully nothing went wrong. My aunt and uncle arrived early and helped me pack up the leftovers," Lin Fei said.
Since he was alone, he could only choose to cook simple, easy-to-eat dishes that were easy to prepare.
Aunt He said to He Dayong and Li Jinfeng with embarrassment, "I originally invited you to come and get acquainted with the place and have a meal, but I didn't expect you to work so hard here."
Li Jinfeng waved her hand: "We didn't do anything. My Huiyazi owes a lot to you this time. I don't know how to thank you enough."
"Linlin, hurry up and cook two good dishes," He's father said to He Wenlin.
The dishes were prepared long ago.
He Wenlin added a dish of braised duck with konjac, and also asked her father to stir-fry a "farmhouse-style fragrant dish". They didn't cook fish, as it was already past one o'clock and everyone was hungry.
"Let's just have something simple for lunch today. For dinner, Auntie Da and Brother Hui will eat here, and I'll cook a few more good dishes," He Wenlin said as she set out the bowls and chopsticks.
"This dish has meat and eggs, and it's still not a good one?" He Dayong laughed. "Linlin is getting better and better at talking."
"Let Nana work for you next year," Li Jinfeng said with a smile.
He Na is their youngest daughter, and she grew up with He Wenlin, being a few months older than He Wenlin.
"Uncle, I'm going back to school next year," He Wenlin said with a smile. "For ordinary people like us, studying more and having a degree will give us more choices in the future."
"You're already so successful, with a shop and a factory, why would you go back to school?" He Dayong and Li Jinfeng were astonished and found it hard to understand.
“If we want to make the business bigger and better, my education of only junior high school is definitely not enough,” He Wenlin said with a smile.
“Your grades are good, so if you go back to school, you can get into university too. My Nana can’t do that.”
"If she doesn't want to continue studying, then let her come here and learn to make glutinous rice balls from Brother Hui to sell at a stall. Actually, there's nothing here that she can learn. She's too young and not strong enough to learn cooking, unless she comes to learn to stir-fry noodles or make dumplings and xiaolongbao. If she's willing to learn that, that's fine too."
He Wenlin hopes that her friends can read more books, but if they really can't concentrate on their studies, staying in the classroom is just a waste of time.
