Chapter 287 Suspicion
"Even if we destroyed your mother's belongings, it was caused by you, an unfilial daughter. Don't scare us. I'm not afraid. I wasn't afraid of Jiang Dalu and his wife when they were alive. What's there to be afraid of now that they're dead?"
Zhang Cuihua's words were like a blunt knife, stabbing into Jiang Haitang's heart.
Jiang Haitang realized that the death of her adoptive parents might not be that simple. Perhaps these two people knew something.
Before Jiang Haitang could figure it out, she suddenly heard hurried and familiar footsteps coming from outside the yard.
It’s Lu Liangchen who’s back.
"Haitang? I'm here, you don't have to be afraid." Then, Lu Liangchen's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall.
Jiang Haitang saw her husband through the crack in the door, followed by two young staff members from the security department.
Only then did she feel at ease and opened the yard door and walked out.
Seeing that his wife was fine, Lu Liangchen finally felt relieved.
"Liangchen, you're here?" Jiang Haitang felt a little aggrieved when she saw Lu Liangchen, and her voice was choked with sobs.
Seeing his wife like this, Lu Liangchen felt extremely distressed. He wished he could beat up Jiang Laoshuan and the other man immediately and throw them out of the city.
"Haitang, don't be afraid. I'm here. Don't worry, I will protect you." Lu Liangchen immediately walked to Jiang Haitang's side and comforted Jiang Haitang in a low voice.
When Jiang Laoshuan heard Lu Liangchen say this, he knew that this person was the director of Jincheng Textile Factory and Jiang Haitang's husband. But why did his name not sound like the boy from the Li family?
"Who are you? Are you the adulterer of that bitch Jiang Haitang?" Jiang Laoshuan suddenly asked, not knowing what he was thinking about.
As soon as Jiang Laoshuan finished speaking, the surroundings became quiet for a moment, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha, is this old man crazy? The factory director is Haitang's man, how can he become an adulterer?"
"Oh, this makes me laugh to death. These old couple don't even know that their niece is married?"
"I'm afraid he got kicked in the head by a donkey!"
"They shouldn't be my uncle or aunt, otherwise how could they not know who their niece's husband is?"
Jiang Laoshuan's face flushed red from the laughter. He glared, stiffened his neck, and shouted, "Bullshit! Jiang Haitang is the Li family's child bride, and her husband is Li Ergou from the Li family! Don't be fooled by her! Jiang Haitang, did you elope without telling the Li family?"
"Old man, have you forgotten that the Li family's son works in the city?" Zhang Cuihua also realized and immediately slapped her thigh to join in the conversation: "Haitang, we are honest farmers and cannot do anything that goes against our conscience. We accepted the betrothal gift of ten kilograms of beans from the Li family, and the marriage certificate is written in black and white. You, Jiang Haitang, will be a member of the Li family for the rest of your life!"
Lu Liangchen's face turned completely cold, and he glanced over fiercely.
"The Li family you're talking about was sentenced a long time ago for being a spy. The whole family is in prison. Do you want me to send you in to find them?"
The neighbors who were watching the excitement around them now understood everything and started pointing at Jiang Laoshuan and his wife and cursing them.
Jiang Haitang and Lu Liangchen are both popular in the factory, so all these people help them.
Jiang Haitang might still be concerned that these two people are elders and cannot say anything too harsh, but others have no scruples and say whatever harsh words they want.
Jiang Laoshuan and Zhang Cuihua were scolded so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads. Especially when they saw the security officer had already taken out the handcuffs, they were so scared that their legs went weak.
Zhang Cuihua suddenly sat down on the ground and rolled over, throwing a tantrum: "This is outrageous! Her own niece doesn't recognize her poor relatives! We can't survive! Her mistress at the factory is helping her bully us honest people!"
Jiang Laoshuan also pretended to cover his chest and said, "Oh, I'm having a heart attack. The cadres beat me up..."
Lu Liangchen watched their performance coldly, then turned to the security officer and said, "Send them to the Public Security Bureau and accuse them of human trafficking, extortion, and disrupting revolutionary production."
"Yes!" Two clerks immediately stepped forward and lifted up Jiang Laoshuan and Zhang Cuihua.
Zhang Cuihua was truly panicking now. She struggled and shouted, "Jiang Haitang! How dare you have someone arrest us? Aren't you afraid your parents will die with regrets?!"
Jiang Haitang originally didn't want to pay any more attention to them, but when she heard this, her eyes suddenly turned cold and she wanted to ask a few more questions.
She walked up to Zhang Cuihua and spoke word by word.
"You all know how my parents died. Do you really want me to tell you?"
She didn't finish her words, but the coldness in her eyes made Zhang Cuihua tremble all over and she dared not say a word anymore.
She began to wonder if this little bitch knew something.
But that's impossible. How old was this little bitch at the time? Six or four?
However, it doesn’t matter how old you are. At that age, you should know nothing.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Cuihua said in panic.
Seeing Zhang Cuihua so panicked, Jiang Haitang was almost certain that the death of her adoptive parents was related to Zhang Cuihua.
"Zhang Cuihua, you killed my parents. You were just after their money and house, right?"
Zhang Cuihua became even more flustered and immediately retorted, "No, don't blame me. How could I possibly kill them? They just accidentally fell off the cliff and died..."
Lu Liangchen was a very smart person. After hearing these words, he realized that the death of Jiang Haitang's adoptive parents must be related to the couple in front of him. He just didn't know whether it was this woman who did it alone, or whether Jiang Laoshuan was also involved.
If Jiang Laoshuan was also involved, it would be a truly unforgivable crime. Jiang Dalu and Jiang Laoshuan are brothers.
Lu Liangchen held Jiang Haitang's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'll have someone investigate. If they really did it, I won't let them go."
Jiang Haitang nodded, but she still felt a little uneasy. If her adoptive parents were killed by someone, she would be really unfilial.
"Jiang Haitang, you ungrateful bastard, are you trying to kill us by saying this?" Jiang Laoshuan began to shout, and wanted to continue to kidnap Jiang Haitang by using his status as an elder.
But how could Lu Liangchen let him succeed?
With just one glance, two young officers from the Security Department arrested the two men.
Zhang Cuihua struggled desperately, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Why? We haven't broken any laws! Why are you arresting us? Someone, come! The cadres are being hooligans..."
Not to mention, Zhang Cuihua's loud shouting really made the two young officials afraid to act rashly. After all, they were young men, and they immediately panicked when they were called hooligans by an old woman.
Aunt Kong rolled up her sleeves and said, "Old sisters, let's go. We can't be hooligans too."
As soon as Aunt Kong finished speaking, someone came to help.
"Bah, such an ugly old woman dares to call us young men hooligans. Even if you take off all your clothes, no one will even look at you."
"Shameless thing, you saw that our young factory staff had some ideas in their minds, right? I think you are the one who wants to act like a hooligan."
Several women spoke one by one and grabbed Zhang Cuihua.
Jiang Laoshuan was also struggling desperately, but someone in the crowd suddenly stretched out his foot, and Jiang Laoshuan was tripped while struggling, and his front teeth hit the stone and bleeding immediately came out.
"Murder! The cadre has committed murder! Old man, what sin have you committed to have such an ungrateful niece!" Zhang Cuihua howled like a pig being slaughtered.
Aunt Kong grabbed her hair and said, "Howl again! If you howl again, I'll have you criticized! I don't think you're a good person. It just so happens that our factory hasn't sent anyone to be criticized in a while."
When the scene was in chaos, some angry people even took the opportunity to kick Jiang Haitang a few times, just to help her vent her anger.
In the end, the two men, who were beaten black and blue, were dragged to the public security bureau by the crowd.
Jiang Haitang has been easily tired since she became pregnant, and today's incident made her feel unwell.
Lu Liangchen noticed Jiang Haitang's fatigue and bowed to everyone around him, "Thank you all for your help. I'll thank you again someday."
After the crowd dispersed, he picked up Jiang Haitang and put her back on the bed.
"How are you? Do you want a doctor to come and see you?"
Jiang Haitang shook her head. "I'm just tired. Liangchen, maybe there's something else in Jiang Laoshuan's house."
"Just focus on your health and don't worry about these things. I've already asked Zhao Kai to arrange for someone to go."
Jiang Haitang felt much more at ease when she heard that Lu Liangchen had already made arrangements, and slowly fell asleep under Lu Liangchen's comfort.
On the third day, the person Zhao Kai arranged to go to Jiang Laoshuan's house came back.
He brought back a bag and some information.
"This was found based on information provided by Jiang Baozhu, the son of Jiang Laoshuan. Jiang Baozhu is a coward. He told everything without much intimidation, even short of confessing everything about his parents' affairs..."
Having said this, the man suddenly realized that Jiang Haitang was still there and immediately stopped talking.
Zhao Kai hurriedly said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, brothers are all rough people and are used to speaking without restraint. Please don't mind."
Jiang Haitang immediately shook her head and said, "I don't mind, you guys have worked hard."
"Jiang Baozhu said that his parents heard a few days ago that you had made a fortune in the city, and they wanted to get some money back to marry him off, so they came here. These things were kept by his parents, and they were said to have been obtained from your parents."
"Haitang, give these things to me, I will investigate them thoroughly." Lu Liangchen felt that the things in this bundle might be related to what he was investigating, so he took the initiative to speak.
Jiang Haitang thought for a moment and nodded: "Liangchen, thank you for your hard work, but if there is any danger, you must protect yourself!"
Jiang Haitang didn't know whether these things were risky or not, but if there was a risk, Jiang Haitang would rather Lu Liangchen not continue investigating to avoid getting hurt.
Lu Liangchen held Jiang Haitang's hand: "Don't worry, Haitang, I know my limits. I won't put myself in danger. I also have to protect you, Xiao Taozi, and our child."
