After the village chief said that he cheated everyone out of money in order to take revenge on Shen Zhizhu, everyone pricked up their ears, wondering what was going on and it felt like there would be some gossip.

Even Du Manjun and Shen Aiqiu looked confused. Is that true? How could they not know? But it didn't matter. They just had to play dumb about it. Du Zaide would take care of everything.

But isn’t this answer a bit too fake?

Several people pricked up their ears. Even the police found this answer a little unbelievable. How could someone take revenge on others? Who would hold the money in their own hands and be so arrogant as to ask the villagers to pay more money?

Is anyone that stupid?

Officer Pei may have experienced more and was calmer than everyone else. He just calmly allowed Du Zaide to continue.

Du Zai De sat there, hunched over. Under the gaze of so many people, he felt very nervous. It was the first time in his life that he had been to a police station.

"Comrade police officer, I know I was wrong. We have already received the money, so please let me go."

"No, you have to make things clear today."

Du Zai De wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, but Aunt Li was the first to disagree. She pushed Du Zai De's shoulder, her tone full of unchangeable insistence.

"I'm telling you, Du Zaide, if you don't explain clearly today why you cheated everyone out of their money, why you want to take revenge on Xiao Zhu, and how you plan to do it, then you can't leave."

Du Manjun stood up with a bang and pointed at Aunt Li with an angry look on his face.

"Why did you push my dad? You are hitting someone. If the police officers hit someone, they should be arrested too!"

The recorder next to Officer Pei tapped the table a few times with his pen to silence everyone.

"What a fuss."

After calming down, Officer Pei continued his interrogation.

"Comrade Du Zaide, this incident has a very bad impact. The country has just resumed the college entrance examination and is in need of talents. One of the purposes of opening up free teaching is to encourage everyone to learn and avoid talent loss. Your behavior is not only contrary to the country's philosophy, but also makes everyone lose trust in the management. Therefore, you have the responsibility and obligation to explain the matter and your thoughts clearly."

It was at this moment that there was a commotion at the door.

Two young guards staggered backwards, step by step. In front of them was a middle-aged woman who was waving her arms, spitting, swearing and talking in a loud voice.

It was Shen Aiqiu’s mother, Li Chunlan.

When she howls, her voice can be heard two miles away.

As soon as Li Chunlan came in, she scanned everything in the room. When she saw Shen Aiqiu sitting on the chair, she looked frightened and instantly exploded.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you arrest my daughter? My daughter has no relationship with the Du Zaide family. Why did you arrest her? My daughter is timid. If she gets scared and gets hurt, can you afford to pay for it?"

Li Chunlan came to Shen Aiqiu's side, held Shen Aiqiu in her arms, protected her with one hand, and pointed at the people in the police station with the other hand.

"Hmph, I don't care what Du Zaide and his family did, but you better let my daughter go. I have given all my love to my daughter since she was born, just in case she got hurt. But you guys arrested her without any reason. Do you know how big of a blow this is to a little girl?"

"A bunch of idle people. Didn't Du Zaide say that Shen Zhizhu was the cause of the incident? Then arrest her. You are an ungrateful person. My sister is being watched here, but she is standing there in a good mood watching the excitement. She doesn't even bother to speak to the police for mercy."

As soon as Li Chunlan arrived at the police station, she started talking nonstop without even pausing to take a breath, making it impossible for others to interrupt her.

Officer Pei opened and closed his mouth several times, and his eyebrows were almost twisted into straight lines.

"My daughter has been kind since she was young. She doesn't even dare to step on ants or kill insects. How could she possibly get involved in such a big thing in the village? I think you just listened to the instigation of that little bastard Shen Zhizhu. You should quickly arrest her and lock her up for a few days, and she will be obedient. You don't know that she has learned to be rebellious and disobedient since she got married. There were not so many things in the village when she was obedient before. I think these things were all directed and acted by her. You should also interrogate her!"

Li Chunlan finally stopped to rest, and Officer Pei realized that the fierce woman in front of him was the girl's mother. Now he understood why the little girl desired another girl without any reason. It turned out that the reason was here.

Aunt Li is one of the few people in the village who swears, she just has a quick temper.

"Shut up, Li Chunlan. I don't know where your heart is. You have raised these two girls since they were young. You treated one of them as a rich lady and the other as a maid. You gave them all the dirty and tiring work. Now that they are here, do you know what's going on? You just scolded Xiaozhu right away."

The recorder wanted to maintain discipline again, but was stopped by Officer Pei.

Sometimes, the more chaotic the situation is, the more relaxed people tend to be. The more relaxed people are, the easier it is for flaws to appear, and the truth is more likely to be spoken in such situations.

Shen Zhizhu no longer feels sad about Li Chunlan's double standards.

"Aunt, you just came in, right? How did you know that Du Zai De cheated everyone out of their money in order to get revenge on me? Why don't you tell us more? We are very interested in this."

Li Chunlan, who was arrogant just now, suddenly became dull.

"I, did I just say this?"

Apparently, she herself did not notice this. When she heard that Shen Ai Qiu was taken away, she lost all her rationality and walked quickly over. When she came in and saw the state of her precious daughter, she spoke without restraint and said anything.

"Does my mother need to know this? It's because you are involved every time, so my mother subconsciously thinks that this matter has something to do with you."

Shen Ai Qiu, who had been pretending to be dead, spoke softly in Li Chunlan's arms.

Li Chunlan reacted and continued speaking along the lines of Shen Aiqiu's words.

"Yes, isn't it because of you, a little ungrateful bastard, who causes trouble in the village all day long? Who wants to take revenge on you? Instead of looking for the reason in yourself, you start questioning your elders. I often hear Du Zaide say this and that about you, and he thinks you are ignorant, so that's why I think of this."

Shen Zhizhu sneered. She knew Shen Aiqiu was pretending. Once the situation was not favorable to her side, she would quit pretending. This method of confusing right and wrong was used very skillfully.

Xu Haonan couldn't bear to see Shen Zhizhu being talked about like that, so he explained to Officer Pei.

"Comrade police officer, that's not the case. It's true that Xiaozhu lived in their home, but she was the one who did all the dirty and hard work. She didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and she was often beaten and scolded. After we got married, we just wanted to live a good life. It was by chance that we learned that you can study without paying tuition, and we wanted to tell everyone, which led to so many things."

Shen Zhizhu nodded frantically and was about to cry.
