Er Ya realized she had achieved her goal. Although she knew Lin Fugui was dissatisfied, she was truly fed up with Lin Jinbao and his group coming over every few days to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, this body is still small, and she can't beat them in a fight, so this is the only way she can think of for now. At least she can scare them a little so that they won't dare to come and cause trouble in front of her again.
When Grandma Shen and Madam Niu heard Lin Fugui's arrangement, they knew that this would really escalate to the police station. They collapsed to the ground, wondering what to do now!
Just then, Lin Jianguo rushed over. As soon as Er Ya saw him, she grabbed him and asked, "Dad, how's Gou Dan?"
Grandma Shen, Madam Niu, and Lin Jinbao also stared intently at him, silently praying that Gou Dan must not be harmed, otherwise how could he bear the crime of murder?
Lin Jianguo wiped his sweat and said breathlessly, "Fortunately, we got there in time and the bleeding stopped. We just need to observe for a while to see if there are any aftereffects. Dr. Li said that we just need to pay more attention to rest and nutrition in the later stages."
Lin Jinbao felt a huge weight lifted from his heart; as long as the person wasn't dead, everything was fine. He started making a ruckus again:
"Grandma, Mom, I'm alright. Please tell them to release me. I can't even lift my arm."
Grandma Shen and Madam Niu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, village chief, please release my grandson (son) quickly."
Lin Fugui glanced at Er Ya, indicating that the initiative was not in his hands.
The two looked at Er Ya nervously and pleaded, "Er Ya, please, let your brother go. He can't bear the suffering of being in jail."
Er Ya didn't care what they said. A leopard can't change its spots. This time they raised it high and then put it down lightly, but there will definitely be a next time. Hardening her heart, she said:
"No, even if the person is unharmed, the fact remains that he hit someone, and that alone is enough to warrant him sitting in jail for a few days."
Niu cried and said, "You worthless good-for-nothing, how cruel you are! Why do you have to go against your brother? What good will it do you to send him to jail?"
Er Ya chuckled softly: "Heh, me? Me, ruthless? Me, picking a fight with him? Who's always causing me trouble?"
The question left Niu speechless.
Lin Jinbao said weakly, "I was wrong, Er Ya. I will never cause you any more trouble. Please forgive me this time."
Er Ya shook her head. Seeing her resolute attitude, Lin Jinbao cursed viciously:
"You bitch, you wait. If you send me to jail today, I'll kill your whole family when I get out."
They're hopeless; they're still making threats even at a time like this.
Old Mrs. Shen ran up to Lin Jianguo and scolded him, "Look at the daughter you gave birth to, how can she be so heartless? Tell me, do you really want to watch your own nephew go to jail?"
Lin Jianguo glanced at Er Ya and said, "Why don't we just forget about it? Look, Jinbao is terrified too."
Er Ya was furious: "Dad, is this something you can just decide to let go of? You should ask Aunt Tao Hua about this; it's her son lying in bed."
Niu thought to herself: That's right! I've been so busy arguing with this brat that I haven't even hurt her. Why bother talking to her?
Just then, Li Taohua came back to get a blanket for Gou Dan. Dr. Li said that Gou Dan would have to stay at his place tonight for observation. If he didn't develop a fever tonight, then he would have made it through this ordeal.
As if grasping at a straw, Niu grabbed Li Taohua's hand and said:
"Peach Blossom, your son is alright, could you please be merciful and let him go?"
Li Taohua jumped up in anger: "Bullshit! You don't care if the person lying in bed isn't your son? I'm going to sue him and send him to jail!"
Er Ya shrugged at Lin Jianguo and said silently, "See? This isn't something I can decide. Even Aunt Taohua said she's going to send him to jail."
Lin Jianqun rushed over in a hurry. He had taken the five yuan he borrowed from Er Ya's family today and, under the pretense of going to work in the neighboring village, had gone to the house of the young widow in the next village to fool around.
After a day of playing and eating his fill, he leisurely hummed a tune and strolled home. As soon as he entered the village, he heard people talking about his son. When he went up to ask, he learned that something had happened.
He was running so fast his shoes were about to fall off when he entered the yard and started yelling, "Who is it? Who bullied my son? I'll beat him to death! How dare they bully my son!"
When Niu saw him, she felt like she had finally found her pillar of support, and she cried out and patted him.
"Husband, you're finally back! Your son is about to be caught. Please plead for your brother!"
Lin Jianqun looked at Lin Jianguo and asked, "What's going on? Are you the one who wants to send my son to jail?"
On the way, he only heard that his son had killed someone and was going to jail, but he didn't ask what exactly happened.
Upon hearing what Niu Shi said, I was surprised to learn that there was also something to do with the second son.
Lin Jianguo pulled him aside and explained the whole story, adding at the end:
"I've told you everything, but I can't make the decision myself. It depends on Li Taohua."
Old Mrs. Shen chimed in from the side, "What do you mean by looking at Li Taohua? Doesn't she still listen to Er Ya? It's mainly that that stubborn girl Er Ya won't budge no matter what."
Lin Jianqun looked at Er Ya. It hadn't been long, but the girl seemed to have grown taller and fairer. He spoke to her in a commanding tone:
“Tell Li Taohua that we’re from the same village, why make things so strained?”
Lin Fugui also chimed in, saying, "Look, even your uncle has said so, so let's just let it go."
"Grandpa Village Chief, Uncle, I'm afraid I can't listen to you. My dad didn't even tell you, did he? Grandma came to make a scene today just to get my family's bicycle. If we let them off so easily today, they'll definitely come up with new tricks next time."
What? There's such a thing? Lin Fugui glanced at Old Lady Shen: This old lady, why are you keeping half of it? How could someone give you the bicycle they bought? This is really a bit unreasonable.
He shook his head, stood aside and went to smoke, indicating that he couldn't handle the matter.
Lin Jianqun was extremely anxious when he saw that the village chief was not taking any action and that the police had been called.
He shouted at Lin Jianguo, "Second brother, I'm begging you. This is your only son. Can you bear to see his life ruined like this? Otherwise, I'll kneel down for you."
After saying that, he was about to bend his knees when Lin Jianguo quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother, look at you, aren't you shortening my lifespan? How can an older brother kneel before his younger brother?"
"Second brother, if you don't agree to my request today, I'll kneel at your door and never get up. Please, do me a favor and help your nephew."
