Zhao Xiulian gritted her teeth at Hu Zi's opportunistic behavior, but she also felt worried.
What if these farmers actually believe him and all go to Hu Zi? What will happen when Wei Dong comes back?
Fortunately, no one responded, which relieved her.
Some even said directly, "We believe Wei Dong isn't that kind of person. He'll come back. Forget about trying to take advantage of the situation!"
Tiger shrugged: "Fine, if you're going to go down this path to the bitter end, then I'll grant your wish. I'll be waiting for the day you can't sell your mushrooms!"
Zhou Xiaoye couldn't help but say, "Brother Weidong will come back sooner or later. Our mushrooms will sell well. But yours are small and wilted. You definitely won't find any buyers. You'll regret it!"
Tiger burst out laughing: "My mushrooms aren't selling?"
"Are you kidding? Even if my mushrooms are the worst, they're still better than a murderer's mushrooms. Li Weidong killed someone, so no one will dare to buy your mushrooms!"
After saying that, he looked at the farmers on his side and said, "Don't worry, although the mushrooms we grow are a bit small, they fetch a high price!"
"It's not a small profit, and it's better than not being able to sell anything at all."
The farmers nodded in agreement.
After all, Li Weidong has been arrested, so it's impossible for them to turn to him. They have no other choice but to trust Hu Zi.
As Zhao Xiulian watched Hu Zi and the others leave, the last breath she had been holding onto suddenly dissipated, and she almost fainted.
But thinking of Li Xiaoli and Zhou Xiaoye, he gritted his teeth and persevered, looking at the farmers in front of him: "Thank you for believing in Weidong. Weidong couldn't have killed anyone. He will come back!"
"Sister-in-law, we definitely believe in Weidong."
"Yes, Wei Dong isn't that kind of person!"
"We're waiting for Weidong to come back, you have to hang in there too!"
Everyone offered their own words of comfort.
Zhao Xiulian nodded and took Li Xiaoli and Zhou Xiaoye home.
Before they even got home, tears welled up in their eyes, which they had been holding back.
Once inside the house, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Zhou Xiaoye, in particular, was filled with despair.
She believed Li Weidong couldn't possibly have killed someone, but in reality, the police arrived and took him away.
If there's no evidence, how could they suddenly come and arrest someone?
In Zhou Xiaoye's heart, she already belonged to Li Weidong. Now that Li Weidong had been arrested, she felt that life had lost its joy and hope, and she wished she could go to the police station with Li Weidong.
Zhao Xiulian was also in great pain, her eyes swollen like walnuts, but she still forced herself to calm down.
After all, now that Li Weidong has been taken away by the police, only Li Xiaoli and Zhou Xiaoye, two young girls, are left. She is the only one who can support the family.
If she falls too, then it's really all over!
"Stop crying, everyone!"
Zhao Xiulian took a deep breath and said seriously, "Now is not the time to cry. We have to find a way to rescue Weidong!"
Li Xiaoli was startled and quickly said, "That's right, my brother told us to call Boss Ji and Sister Xiaoyan. They're capable, they can definitely rescue my brother!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly looked up the phone book and found Ji Dahai's number.
"I'll fight!"
Zhao Xiulian hurriedly dialed a number from the phone book.
The call was made, but it rang for a long time without being answered.
"Why aren't you answering the phone..."
Zhao Xiulian's hands were trembling with panic.
Li Xiaoli quickly said, "Let's try it again!"
I made several calls, but no one answered.
Zhao Xiulian's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color: "He's not answering the phone... Could something really have happened?"
After all, she had seen Ji Dahai's attitude towards Li Weidong; that man practically worshipped Weidong.
But now I can't even get through on the phone. Is he worried about being implicated?
Li Xiaoli was also very flustered and hurriedly said, "Then how about calling Sister Xiaoyan?"
"Yes, yes, and your sister Xiaoyan too, she's very capable!"
Zhao Xiulian nodded hurriedly, nervously dialing the wrong number several times before finally making the call.
This time, not only did no one answer, but the phone was also unreachable!
"Sister Xiaoyan isn't answering the phone either..."
Li Xiaoli's legs went weak, and she plopped down on the stool.
Zhao Xiulian was completely panicked: "How could this happen?"
Unbeknownst to the mother and daughter, Ji Dahai was entertaining guests from the provincial capital, drinking heavily and completely oblivious to the ringing of his phone.
Meanwhile, Shen Xiaoyan was caught in a road construction accident that severed the telephone line, and they were urgently repairing it!
"Mom, what should we do!"
Li Xiaoli gripped Zhao Xiulian's arm, her hand as cold as ice.
Zhao Xiulian tried to speak several times, but her lips trembled so badly that she couldn't utter a word.
After a long while, he calmed down and said, "Don't rush, this can't be rushed, or things will get chaotic! Your brother couldn't have killed anyone, there's absolutely no mistake about that."
"He didn't kill anyone, so even if he gets arrested, it won't be a big deal. There's no use in us worrying..."
Even though she said that, she was shaking violently.
Li Xiaoli gritted her teeth and said, "This must be Hu Zi framing my brother! He was jealous that my brother was better than him, and now that the mushrooms my brother and everyone are growing are so beautiful, he can't beat them openly, so he resorts to underhanded tactics."
"It was definitely him who did this!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoye, who had been silently shedding tears without saying a word, suddenly looked over.
Li Xiaoli was consumed by hatred and said bitterly, "If anything happens to my brother, I'll fight his family to the death!"
