64. Chapter 64: Cannot Report to the Police



Han Yu also raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Wenyue. After living together for these days, he might not know his wife's character. Others might, but except for Wang, there was absolutely no way Su Wenyue would let go of her out of kindness and let her go, let alone help her. He didn't know what this girl was up to.

"Sister-in-law, you..." Han Hu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Why was his fourth sister-in-law so easy to talk to today? Was he going to say that his third sister-in-law was scheming and had ulterior motives? This matter might be related to his third sister-in-law.

Han Lin didn't expect Su Wenyue to speak on their side. He was delighted. "The fourth son's wife is the wise one. That's the truth. Even the fourth son's wife said so. You guys should stop holding on to my wife. My wife is weak and a woman who is pregnant. How can she collude with outsiders? This is pure nonsense."

Su Wenyue's smile widened when she heard Han Lin say this. "Just as Third Brother said, I don't think this could have been done by our family. It must have been those people who coveted my dowry with bad intentions, so don't doubt it casually. In my opinion, why don't we report it to the police? The thief is so bold and cruel. Not only did he break into our house in broad daylight to steal, but he also hurt my mother like this. If such a person is not caught, not only our family, but also the whole village will not be at peace. So why don't we report it to the police? I heard that there is a constable in our county who is very good at solving cases. I guarantee that the thief will be caught when the time comes."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Su Wenyue say the words "report to the authorities". No matter how serious the trouble was, these farmers would ask the village chief for help, but they would never report to the authorities. No one would even think about it. The word "official" means "if you have a reason but no money, don't get involved". If you have anything to do with the authorities, you will lose money. Everyone knows this.

"What do you think? This is a good idea. Let's hand this matter over to the government. I heard that the county magistrate of Xinye County is fairly honest and has capable people under him. I believe that a small case like ours will be solved quickly. Then I want to see which thief dares to lay hands on my mother. I will not let him off!"

"Report, report to the authorities. Fourth son's wife, you are kidding, right? How dare we alert the authorities to such a small matter? The officials are blood suckers and flesh eaters. If we really offend the officials, we can use the money we have to bribe them. Don't offend the police and have them put us in jail."

Han Lin was really scared and even stuttered when he spoke. Not to mention that the so-called thief might be related to his wife, even if he was not related, he would not dare to provoke the government officials. Rich people think differently. This fourth brother's wife is not someone who can be easily messed with. It's better not to say anything, otherwise someone will definitely be in trouble.

"Third brother, what are you talking about? If anyone hears you, they will definitely accuse you of slandering an official appointed by the imperial court. The magistrate of Xinye County is fair and strict, and his subordinates are all good people. Such a thing will not happen. We are the victims and plaintiffs. If we have to arrest someone, we should arrest the thief. Otherwise, we have to rely on ourselves. Where can we find the thief? Mother's injury on her head cannot be in vain."

"Well, you are a woman, how would you know how serious this is? It's easy to say now, but if those officers are really unreasonable, what can you do to them? It will harm our Han family." No matter what the reason was, Han Lin absolutely did not agree to report to the police.

The brothers Han Hu and Han Ping were somewhat persuaded by Su Wenyue. They thought the magistrate of Xinye County was a good man and maybe they could really report to the police. After all, it was their mother who was injured and now they couldn't find the thief by themselves. No one could swallow this. But they didn't know whether what the fourth brother's wife said was true or not, so as not to cause trouble. Although the third brother was a bit muddleheaded, what he said was not unreasonable.

"Fourth brother's wife, from what you said, it seems that you know the county magistrate of Xinye County. Is the county magistrate really as fair and honest as you said? Will he take the opportunity to ask for money from our family? We can't afford it. Mother still needs to recover from her injuries."

Han Yu smiled when he heard Su Wenyue's idea. His wife was not a pushover. She came up with such a good idea so quickly. This method was the most effective way to deal with Han Lin and Wang. But even he did not forget to think about the government. After all, that place was not something that ordinary people could get involved in. But now that he had the Su Mansion, it was different. Han Yu knew that Master Su was not an ordinary wealthy businessman. He also had connections in the court. Because of this, the government would not do too much. Not to mention that he had heard of the Xinye County Magistrate and said that he was a rare good official.

"Brother, second brother, I am also a member of the Han family. If anything happens to the Han family, I am also involved. I will not joke about such things. Although I have never met the county magistrate of Xinye County, my father and brother have met him and dealt with him. They all praised him as a good official who serves the country and the people. That's why I proposed this method. Even if money is really needed at that time, I am there."

Han Hu and Han Ping couldn't help but believe what Su Wenyue said, but they couldn't make up their minds about this matter. They looked at Old Man Han and Han Yu and said, "Dad, Fourth Brother, what do you think? Should we report to the police?"

Old Man Han took two puffs from his pipe and said, "Old Four knows a lot, so listen to him."

Old Man Han had actually guessed something in his mind. He knew his wife better than his sons. Although his wife said that she did not see the thief's appearance clearly, she had already suspected someone in her heart, otherwise she would not have been so hesitant when speaking. Perhaps she had some concerns in her heart. Thinking of what Han Yu said, Old Man Han already had some guesses in his mind.

Old man Han is not Yang. Although he values ​​offspring, he will not disregard everything for his eldest grandson and be biased like Yang. In his opinion, no matter how arrogant Wang's family is, they made a big fuss in Han's family last time. This incident is probably related to Wang's family. If they don't learn a lesson after causing trouble again and again, there will be no end to it in the future, so it is better to report to the police.

However, Old Man Han did not understand government affairs. Although the fourth son's wife said so, he still had some worries and doubts in his heart, so he handed the matter over to his youngest son. The fourth son has always been sensible and reliable in doing things, and he has several friends in the county. He is more familiar with this aspect and knows what to do, so let the fourth son make the decision.

"You are all crazy. How can you listen to the one-sided story of the fourth son's wife and report it to the police?"
