The police were about to take Wang Dahua away, and everyone was gloating. But Wang Dahua didn't care at all. She just stared outside, as if waiting for someone to come.
Tiger's appearance made her eyes light up.
But soon, a hint of anxiety welled up inside him, and he snapped, "What are you doing here? Go back!"
She took the blame for her son, hoping he would come to see her off, but also fearing he might reveal something and be taken away by the police.
I'm really torn.
Tiger walked over with red eyes: "Mom..."
He choked up as soon as he opened his mouth and couldn't continue. After all, he was the one who caused the trouble, but he made his mother take the blame, which was extremely unfilial.
Wang Dahua also shed tears, crying as she said, "Tiger, after I go in, you have to take good care of yourself, find a job, live a good life, and stop wasting your time, okay?"
"Tell your dad that you two should go out and work together, earn money, get married, and when Mom gets out, she can help take care of your kids, okay?"
Tiger also cried, and the mother and son embraced and wept bitterly, a truly heartbreaking scene.
However, the onlookers not only did not feel sympathy, but instead began to laugh at them.
"Now you know how to cry? Where were you before?"
"Exactly. If you don't teach your own son properly and he gets into big trouble, who can you blame?"
"As our ancestors said, spoiling a child is like killing a child. We've all advised you before that if you don't raise your son properly, you'll regret it later. Now you know you were wrong, right?"
"She was going to take the blame for her son, but now she's scared. If you ask me, she should just send Tiger in and let the state teach him. Anyway, she can't teach him well."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Some of the more cunning individuals, seeing that Li Weidong was also present, seized the opportunity to flatter him.
"Wei Dong is the best. He's been a good kid since he was little. He's obedient, well-behaved, and smart."
The others immediately chimed in with praise: "You're right! I always thought Wei Dong was promising, and I was right!"
Some people even took the opportunity to criticize Hu Zi, saying, "You said Wei Dong and Hu Zi are cousins who grew up together, so how come they're so different?"
"That's right, that's right. Wei Dong is not only smart and kind but also capable. Look at Hu Zi, he can't do anything right, and he can't even compare to Wei Dong in terms of brains."
"If he had any brains, he wouldn't have thought of going against Wei Dong. Who is Wei Dong? Even the head of the police station treats him like a brother. How can an ordinary person compare to him?"
"It's hilarious! Only Wang Dahua would treat her son like a treasure!"
At first, everyone kept their voices down, but later they became more and more unrestrained, making sarcastic and mocking remarks without any mercy.
Tiger was already furious, and now, after hearing what everyone said, his eyes turned even more venomous as he glared at Li Weidong.
Li Weidong rolled his eyes, looking quite helpless.
How can you blame him for this?
Back then, he was the one who led Tiger's family to grow mushrooms. If any of the three of them had been smart enough, they wouldn't have fallen out with him.
As long as you honestly follow his lead in growing mushrooms, you can at least achieve a comfortable standard of living, if not get rich.
As a result, the whole family had to cause trouble.
Now look what's happened! There's no mushroom to grow, no houses to collect, and people are even going to be arrested and jailed. What's the point?
Hearing everyone cursing Hu Zi, Wang Da Hua was also furious and retorted, "Who do you think you are, daring to curse my Hu Zi?"
“He, Li Weidong, doesn’t even dare to compare himself to my son. Let me tell you, just wait until I get out, I’ll burn your houses down too…”
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Enough!"
Xing Guodong shouted angrily, "You set fire to people's houses and still dare to be so arrogant? Just wait to go to jail!"
He then greeted Li Weidong, saying, "Brother Weidong, I'll take the person back first."
Li Weidong nodded and repeated, "I will not accept any form of reconciliation. The verdict should be handed down as it should be."
The two families have completely broken off relations. Even if he softens his heart and lets Wang Dahua go, Wang Dahua will not be grateful. On the contrary, she will become even more ruthless and try to take revenge.
Why bother?
It would be better to lock him up and teach him a lesson.
Consider it a warning to others.
As the police car drove away, Hu Zi collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
But as Li Weidong passed by him, he suddenly spoke.
"Li Weidong, this matter is not over."
Li Weidong stopped and looked down at him: "Is this over yet? You set fire to my house, and I'm lucky to be alive. Then call the police and have your mother arrested."
"No matter how you look at it, you're in the wrong, aren't you?"
He sneered, "Zhao Huzi, as relatives, let me give you a piece of advice: there's still a chance to turn back before it's too late. If you remain obstinate, I won't show any mercy next time."
Having said that, he turned and left.
The villagers, having had their fill of the farce, left in twos and threes.
Tiger sat slumped for a long time before finally standing up and slowly walking home, his heart filled with intense hatred.
My family used to live a happy and harmonious life, but now, we have nothing left.
Even their house was taken away by the bank, and the family had to squeeze into the old man's place to live.
Even my mom got arrested and thrown in jail!
Tiger clenched his fist so tightly that he didn't even notice his fingertips piercing his palm.
At that moment, he felt nothing but hatred.
"Li Weidong, you wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
Tiger secretly vowed in his heart: "In this life, I will fight you to the death!"
But while it's easy to say it, doing it is not so easy.
After all, Li Weidong is no ordinary person now.
Not only is he rich, but he has also climbed up to powerful and influential figures. How can someone like me, who is heavily in debt, compete with him?
Tiger was filled with mixed feelings of anger and despair on his way home. When he finally arrived, he ran into the old man.
After the old man fell ill, thanks to the good care he received from Li Weidong's family, his health actually improved compared to before.
He was unaware of the fire at Li Weidong's house.
Seeing Hu Zi return, she asked curiously, "Where have you been so early in the morning? Where's your mother?"
Although he hated Zhao Shunqiang's family for their heartless behavior when he was sick, they were still his own son. Seeing that the family had nowhere to go, he still agreed to let them stay at his home.
Tiger didn't even look up; he walked past him and was about to go inside.
The old man was getting annoyed: "I'm asking you a question! All you do all day is waste your time. Can't you learn from Wei Dong?"
“We’re still cousins. No matter how bad things got in the past, we’re still family. If you lower your head and apologize to Weidong, I’ll risk my reputation to mediate between you two.”
"From now on, you'll work hard under his guidance..."
"Shut up!"
Tiger, unable to contain himself any longer, burst out cursing: "Who would want to work for him? Who does Li Weidong think he is? Asking me to apologize to him? Never in my next life!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden inspiration struck him, and he thought of someone.
He immediately became smug and glanced at the old man: "How long do you think Li Weidong can be so arrogant?"
"Just wait and see, his good days are numbered!"
