Zhao Pengfei was arrested by the police.

Li Hongyan came to her senses and remembered that her mother Chen Xiaoying had called her today and asked her to go to the county town tomorrow.

But no matter what, Pengfei's arrest is a big deal.

She hurriedly asked the village party secretary to let her go to the brigade office to call her mother.

The village party secretary looked at her pitiful appearance, and since they were from the same village, he showed mercy and said, "Okay."

Li Hongyan and Zhao Faliang, a couple, held flashlights and walked on the dirt road in the village, one step deep and one step shallow, feeling very disappointed.

They were so happy just now, thinking about enjoying a good life with their son in the future, but just a short while later, their son was taken away.

Li Hongyan couldn't help wanting to cry, but she was afraid of being embarrassed, so she had to hold it back.

In the middle of the night, the phone at Chen Xiaoying's home rang.

The telephone was installed in the living room. Chen Xiaoying was old and a light sleeper, so she heard the first ring and thought she was dreaming. It was only when the second ring came that she realized someone was calling.

"Who is calling in the middle of the night?" The youngest daughter, Li Hongxia, now works in the library. Since they have not bought a house yet, she has been living here with her mother, Chen Xiaoying.

"I'll go ask." Chen Xiaoying felt uneasy.

Who would call someone in the middle of the night if it wasn't something urgent?

She remembered what her granddaughter Li Yutong had said, "This car was stolen, right?"

Chen Xiaoying ran to the living room and answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Li Hongyan burst into tears: "Oh my god, wuwuwu, Pengfei was arrested by the police, what should I do?"

Chen Xiaoying's ears were hurt by her shrill cries.

After a moment of confusion, he said, "Why did the police arrest him? What happened?"

Li Hongyan was crying over there: "Didn't Pengfei borrow 3,000 yuan from you to buy a car? It's about this car. The police said that the car belonged to some unit in the provincial capital and was lost. Now they found out in my house."

"But Pengfei said he didn't steal. Mom, you watched Pengfei grow up. He doesn't have the guts to do that."

Chen Xiaoying knew that Zhao Pengfei was timid and would not steal.

He had attended high school and knew that if he stole things he would be caught. Not only would it be embarrassing, but he would also have to go to jail. Zhao Pengfei had always been shy and timid, so he didn't dare to do it.

The eldest daughter Li Hongyan was crying breathlessly, which made her mother Chen Xiaoying anxious.

"Okay, stop crying. When tomorrow morning comes, come with me to the police station to ask around. He didn't steal the car, and the police will definitely be able to clear his name."

After hearing what her mother said, Li Hongyan felt a little more at ease.

"Mom, will the police really release Pengfei?"

Chen Xiaoying sighed: "As long as he is innocent, he will definitely be released."

After finally hanging up the phone, she looked back and saw that her third daughter-in-law Zhao Xueyan and granddaughter Li Yutong were already awakened in the other two bedrooms.

"The car was really stolen by that group of people, and I sold it to him for 3,000 yuan. It turns out that he was selling stolen goods." Li Yutong understood.

Zhao Xueyan was terrified: "Oh my God, but, but that person, he must have run away to another place. Pengfei said that person's father is in the hospital in another place."

"What's the point of talking about hospitalization or not? I guess this is just a lie to him." Li Hongxia also said so.

What is still unclear now? It must be that big boss, or Xu Dadong stole the car, ran to a small county town to cheat people who knew nothing and wanted to get a bargain, and disposed of the car.

As for cars worth tens of thousands of dollars, they are sold for thousands of dollars because it is too difficult to find someone willing to buy such a black car of unknown origin, and they just happen to meet an unlucky guy like Zhao Pengfei.

Three thousand yuan is better than having nothing in your hand.

Three thousand is not a small number.

This is how Zhao Pengfei fell into the pit.

"Grandma, you have to get up early tomorrow. Go to sleep first and find Xu Dadong's house tomorrow." Li Yutong comforted her grandma Chen Xiaoying.

What else could Chen Xiaoying do now? She could only sigh and say, "Go to sleep."

The children she gave birth to could be stupid or incompetent, but they must never go against their conscience and harm others.

At present, the eldest daughter Li Hongyan is the outlier.

The next day, the college entrance examination was approaching during the summer vacation, and Li Yutong was very busy studying.

Chen Xiaoying didn't want to let her interfere in this matter: "Study hard and don't let these messy things affect your future."

Since her grandmother said so, Li Yutong had nothing to worry about.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiaoying handed the store affairs over to He Mingliang. She was about to take the second son Li Hongjian and the fourth son Li Honggang to look for Xu Dadong when she saw her daughter Li Hongyan and her husband Zhao Faliang standing at the door of the store.

There were dark circles under the couple's eyelids, and it was obvious that they did not sleep well last night.

"Mom." Li Hongyan called Chen Xiaoying eagerly, her eyes red. She had cried so much that her eyes were swollen last night.

Zhao Faliang rubbed his hands uncomfortably and called out "Mom".

Chen Xiaoying nodded.

The second son Li Hongjian and the fourth son Li Honggang still don’t know what has happened.

It was early in the morning and the employees in the hot pot restaurant didn't start work until 10 o'clock, which was just the right time for a few people to talk.

Wait until Chen Xiaoying tells him about Zhao Pengfei.

The second son Li Hongjian and the fourth son Li Honggang were both dumbfounded.

"Was the car stolen?"

Their eldest sister Li Hongyan started crying again: "Pengfei didn't know anything at all. If he knew the car was stolen, how could he dare to buy it?"

As she spoke, she thought of the 3,000 yuan she had used to buy the car. She couldn't help but complain to Chen Xiaoying, "Mom, what did you do? I usually asked you to borrow some money, but you were so stingy that you didn't even give a penny. Pengfei was just a child, but you just gave him 3,000 yuan. Now you're in trouble, right?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth: "If you hadn't lent him three thousand yuan, would he have bought that black car?"

Seeing that the eldest sister was being unreasonable, she blamed their mother for the incident.

The second child, Li Hongjian, was unhappy: "Sister, do you know what happened yesterday? You are just here blaming our mother."

"What's going on? No matter what, we can't give him 3,000 yuan. With so much money, even if he doesn't buy a car, he will learn bad things from someone." Li Hongyan was full of moral principles.

Chen Xiaoying's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This was her selfish eldest daughter. Every time she showed her courtesy, she looked sincere, enthusiastic and considerate, and could even cry with you.

But once something bad happens to her, she immediately turns hostile.

"Sister, it's not like that. Let me tell you what happened yesterday..." The second brother Li Hongjian then told how Zhao Pengfei, Xu Dadong, and Datou colluded to deceive Chen Xiaoying yesterday.

Li Hongyan was stunned for a moment: "Did you cheat the money?"

The second brother Li Hongjian and the fourth brother Li Honggang, both brothers nodded.

Li Hongyan felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her mother Chen Xiaoying's expression.

Zhao Faliang on the side became angry: "Wait for me to come out, I will break his legs. How could he get rid of such a thing? How could our Zhao family have such a person? I will slap him twice!"

He was aggressive and looked like an honest, simple and taciturn man, but when he got angry, he glared at people with his big eyes, which was very scary.
