Xiao Zhou, Lin Xinsheng's orderly, couldn't help but applaud after hearing this. He looked at the crowd around him, some still preoccupied with Zhou Jiao's words. Xiao Zhou escorted Lin Xinsheng and Lin Lishan as they slowly withdrew from the crowd, trying not to draw attention to themselves as they made their way to the village entrance.
Not far from the entrance of Zhangjia Village, there were two cars parked in a remote place at a bend, with several people waiting in them. Occasionally, some villagers passing by saw them and hurried to the village. In this area, everyone's ancestors had lived on this land, and they were all relatives. If you really talk about seniority, they were all relatives. Any news spread very quickly, especially this time it was the accident of the golden baby, so the speed of the broadcast was particularly fast. The cars that usually attracted attention could not attract the crowds who loved to watch the excitement and gossip.
Zhou Jiao's grandfather Lin Xinsheng had just driven over from the county town, intending to drive slowly and inquire about the news. He saw many people rushing forward along the way and heard loud voices talking about the old Zhou family and about beating the golden baby. He didn't know who the golden baby was, but Lin Xinsheng had a feeling that it was related to the Zhou family. They were all heading in the same direction. He expected that it was also related to his granddaughter Zhou Jiao, so he ordered them to find a place to park. He took his daughter Lin Lishan with the crowd to see what was going on. As soon as he got off the car, he randomly found a fellow villager to ask, and it turned out that his own granddaughter was in trouble. The golden baby everyone was shouting was Jiaojiao. Lin Lishan was so anxious when she heard it that she had to rush over. Lin Xinsheng hurriedly pulled her into the village, to the gate of the Zhang family, and found an inconspicuous place, intending to see how Zhou Jiao would deal with the matter.
My goodness! Nearly 500 people had already gathered in front of the Zhang family's gate, and more were still arriving. The township officials were probably on the verge of being alerted. He signaled to Xiaofei, a staff member beside him, to go forward and ask. They didn't actually wait for Xiaofei to return, but after a while, they overheard many people talking and understood what was going on. He pulled his eldest daughter's hand. He felt that her granddaughter must have deliberately spread the word. So, this scene today must have been prepared. He just didn't know if someone so young could handle the situation.
Lin Xinsheng gently tried to persuade his daughter, who was about to burst into tears, "Listen first. We'll see how things unfold. We've come this far. Don't worry. Dad's here, so there won't be any trouble."
After saying that, Lin Xinsheng looked at the little person standing on the steps not far away. The whole body was wrapped up, only the pale and sallow little face was exposed. There was no expression on his face and no ripples in his eyes. In this large dark crowd, only the small body stood straight with his waist straight, surrounded by rows of big men. But people still couldn't ignore the shock brought by the small body. The aura of the whole body was calm and composed. Facing the crowd, he just stood there quietly. He was still shocked. The aura was like a veteran. He just stood there. Except for the shouting of Zhou's daughter, more than 500 people gradually quieted down. It turned out that his granddaughter was so outstanding. Zhou Xiaozheng, Zhou Xiaozheng, it was still a strong gene. With a genius like Zhou Xiaozheng, it was not surprising that he gave birth to such an outstanding daughter. No wonder the Golden Baby was so famous.
Glancing at his tearful daughter, Lin Xinsheng sighed inwardly and reluctantly whispered to her, "Don't draw attention to yourself." Luckily, the unfamiliar people nearby were completely focused on the small figure on the steps. Lin Xinsheng watched her watching Zhou Xue like a monkey. Yes, he'd listened for so long, knowing this was Zhou Xue, the daughter of the Zhou family's eldest son. Those two soft, fluttering words from her thin lips had the Zhou family's eldest son completely terrified, falling to the ground with his hands covering his face. She was clearly planning to strangle him to death.
Listen to the words emanating from that little mouth. It was so simple, like a bundle of joy, thrown to the other person. Every word recounted the misfortunes of the past few years, and every word recounted the painstaking efforts of her grandmother to raise her. The onlookers were also passing messages to one another, even whispering in their voices. Those further back, unable to hear, hurriedly spun around, trying to listen to the one in front, whispering among themselves.
Lin Xinsheng looked at the small figure again. He stood with his back straight. With just a few words, he slowly controlled the whole place, mobilized everyone's emotions, manipulated the situation, and controlled the rhythm of the whole place from beginning to end, starting with light and then moving on to heavy. He also kowtowed three times afterwards, and said those words afterwards, and then he got out of it smoothly. It was perfect. With the cooperation of her young husband beside her, the young couple cooperated very tacitly. Every move was under their control and they did not lose control.
Public opinion generated sympathy, and Jiaojiao's three nods and those flippant words created a sense of righteousness. She discarded the Zhou elders, cleared her own branch, and preserved the Zhou family's reputation. She planned everything ahead, leaving the Zhou family speechless. Old Master Zhou, speechless, swallowed the bitter bitterness. She must have guessed something, eager to get rid of the eldest branch. How clever!
Lin Xinsheng looked at the pair of little foxes, then at Old Man Zhou, who was being held high. He felt secretly happy and deeply sympathetic towards Old Man Zhou. This old fool had really made a mistake, even saying that his granddaughter was dull, but only sensible and obedient. Dumb? He remained silent because he didn't care. He couldn't even make a mistake with his granddaughter right under his nose. He was a fool. He was so shameless at such an old age, and now he was being schemed against by two young people. He deserved it. Who didn't know his intentions? Look, even Little Zhou applauded. Didn't he see that the onlookers were whispering and glaring at this old man. Why didn't he hide at home? He was embarrassing himself by coming out. He had lived to such an old age in vain, but he still mistook a dead fish eyeball for a pearl. He abandoned the pearl and only knew how to calculate superficial things. With Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhou Jiao around, what worries did the Zhou family have?
On the way back, Lin Xinsheng was restless and wandering around secretly. He grabbed his daughter Lin Lishan's arm and looked at her. He couldn't believe that she was really the child's mother.
Lin Xinsheng ordered one person to stay behind to pick up Xiaofei, and everyone else boarded the bus and drove to the county guesthouse. He took Lin Lishan, who was reluctant to leave, and got into the car in front.
Lin Xinsheng looked at Lin Lishan, who turned her head away with red eyes, and said helplessly, "Did you want to go up just now? Didn't you see anything?"
Lin Lishan was still mad at her father. It was only because he was holding her back, otherwise she would have gone up to him and asked him why he treated her daughter like this. Her daughter had been subjected to so much abuse for so many years. She almost wanted to tear Huang Zhaodi apart. How dare she do this? Her daughter had a grandfather to look after her, and a mother who was still around. She had mailed so many things to him over the years, and yet he didn't ask for her gratitude, not even kindness. These ungrateful people.
Hearing this, Lin Lishan looked up and said impatiently, "What do you see? It's that damn old man's partiality. The eldest family is inhuman, and the Zhou family is all ungrateful. Dad just locked up all five of them as Jiaojiao said."
Lin Xinsheng shook his head helplessly. His daughter had been raised too innocently. She was smart, but not scheming. He had no choice but to analyze the situation carefully for her. "If I follow your instructions, I won't be able to achieve your daughter's plan. We can't rush this matter. We can only add fuel to the fire, not make a decision. With this big mess today, the township cadres will have a headache without us. This matter concerns the entire situation and will implicate a large number of people. Have you thought about it?"
At the very least, they'll hold the post office and the village officials responsible for issuing the certificates responsible responsible. At the worst, they'll even hold township officials responsible for their inaction. The entire property of those five families will be investigated. It all depends on Jiaojiao. She's already thrown a stone into the river. What kind of ripples will arise depends on what she ultimately hopes to reap, what she desires. You thought they came to me today on their own initiative? Hehe, they really did come to me on their own initiative. I think this is a trap.
The child's third birthday is tomorrow, so why is she bringing up this matter so early? We just arrived today and rushed over without any rest. It's already happened, and she's using the third birthday celebration as an opportunity to gather with friends and family to make it clear that she's done with the Zhou family. She won't receive anyone who comes, and the relationship is severed. The Zhou family and the Zhang family will have no ties at all. It's also possible that she guessed we were coming, and even confirmed that her father, Zhou Xiaozheng, is still alive, coming back, and getting a promotion."
