Chapter 44 was somewhat unexpected.



"Impossible." Father Wang couldn't believe it and quickly grabbed his younger brother's arm. "Jianjun, go find some connections, go and find out how Changzhi could possibly do such a thing."

"Although he has a bad temper, he is definitely not that kind of person. How could he possibly be..."

Before Wang's father could finish speaking, Wang Jianjun interrupted him, "Brother, Changzhi should be right about this."

Although he also felt that there were many strange things about this matter, he had just inquired and found that there was no way to get involved in any of the gaps.

Since the girl wasn't the one who killed him, they probably won't investigate further.

-

The bright moonlight shone down for miles. On her way home, the children's laughter was like twinkling stars, making her feel relaxed and happy. Lin Wei couldn't help but smile.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaomeng quickly asked, "So happy?"

"Yeah, I feel like a weight has suddenly been lifted off my shoulders. Whether they admit to what happened to my dad or not, the Wang family will not let them off the hook because of the two lives lost, Wang Changzhi and Zhou Ping. They probably won't get out of here, so I feel very happy."

Mentioning Lin Dongliang, Lin Xiaomeng sighed, "When the results for these people come out, take me to visit your father's grave."

"Okay, once this is resolved, I'll have to tell my dad so he can leave in peace."

Just as the group was about to enter the house, Lin Wei suddenly remembered something extremely important.

"Oh dear, I was running too fast and didn't notice. My tricycle is still parked at the entrance of the stock market. It's been so long, I'm afraid it's been stolen. I have to go back and check. How can I do business without a vehicle?"

As she spoke, Lin Wei hurriedly ran outside.

Uncle Li from the convenience store stopped her with his tricycle.

“Here it is. Xiaoling pushed it back for you. All the courtyards were locked. Her gate was too small to push it in, so she left it here with me.”

Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, thank goodness, everything is still here."

Lin Xiaomeng couldn't help but admire Lin Wei. "I don't know whether to say you're carefree or not. With such a big thing happening, you still have the mind to set up a stall? You're not going to continue setting up a stall tomorrow, are you?"

After thanking Uncle Li, Lin Wei quickly took the tricycle and pushed it home.

“I can’t stop running my stall. I earn so much every day. Losing even one day of earnings would be worse than losing my mother.”

Lin Xiaomeng glared at him angrily, "You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and go home, wash up and go to sleep. There are so many things to do every day, but now I can finally rest in peace."

It's more than just a peaceful rest—

Lin Wei's snoring could be heard clearly by Gao Huifang in the next courtyard.

The next day at work, he even whispered about it with Lin Xiaomeng.

"The child is a very affectionate child, so please stop criticizing her. We can't be as passionate and decisive as her. She's so innocent, but her snoring is really loud."

“But this child is too passionate. She’s all-consuming when people are good to her, but when it comes to those who are not good to her…” Lin Xiaomeng smiled helplessly. She glanced around and whispered, “I’m afraid she wouldn’t even shed a tear if her mother died.”

“If this had happened before, I would definitely have felt something was wrong, after all, she is my own mother. But you can’t judge a book by its cover. I heard from Weiwei yesterday that she’s no good either. Even if I were the weakest, I would never donate my son’s kidney to someone else’s son.”

"Weiwei, she hates it to the extreme, but overall she is still a good child, and it is rare that she can take responsibility at such a young age."

Speaking of taking responsibility, Lin Xiaomeng nodded in agreement, "To be honest, if I were in my brother's shoes, I'm not sure I could have kept it a secret. This kid not only endured it for so long, but also knew how to plan and wait for the right opportunity. We never expected that."

"So, Weiwei is definitely a good child, and she'll be quite capable in the future. You won't have to worry about your old age."

Lin Xiaomeng smiled and said, "I have a retirement pension and some savings, so I don't have to worry about my old age. But with my children staying here these days, I feel really lively. Although there are a lot of things to do since they came, it feels so different from before."

It's a feeling of your heart being filled, of no longer being lonely.

-

At the entrance to the stock market.

Lin Wei looked around as she sold boxed lunches.

Even the children noticed the searching gaze and asked, "Sister, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking for someone, the guy who drives here every day to buy boxed lunches. He used to come every day, why didn't he come today?"

Lin Yuan asked in confusion, "Sister, do you know him?"

"I don't know her, she's just..."

When she came out of the police station last night, she saw the car parked in front of the station. The driver who came to buy boxed lunches every day was also inside the police station talking to someone who looked like a leader.

After that, the Wang family's affairs had nothing to do with her anymore.

Lin Wei didn't believe in coincidences. Even if it were a coincidence, she thought it wouldn't be a problem for her to go up and ask the other person's identity.

Unfortunately, that person didn't come today.

He didn't come back for a whole week.

Just when Lin Wei thought she was overthinking things, the verdict was announced.

When Lin Xiaomeng took her to the police station, Lin Wei felt like she was dreaming.

"So fast? That's way too fast!"

The police officers at the police station were surprisingly friendly. “The evidence is conclusive, there are no doubts, so the verdict will be quick. We asked you to come here because the matter in Xin County has been resolved along with the matter here. It might be clearer if we talk about it in person.”

Xiao Yuanbing, Ni Fang, and Li Yunxia were all sentenced to death for murder, and the sentence was carried out a week later.

Yan Kuan and Yan Siqi, who are Ni Qingguo's father-in-law and daughter-in-law, were sentenced to 20 years and 10 years respectively.

Only Ni Qingguo's ending was somewhat unexpected.

As an 'innocent' victim, he was sentenced to only one year, with a two-year reprieve.

That means he can get out almost immediately.

Lin Wei was stunned. "No, he's innocent? How could he be innocent? Could there be a mistake?"

“There’s no mistake. Li Yunxia took the blame for everything. Kuan Yan and Yan Siqi, as family members, had no choice but to help out. But because they didn’t trust Ni Qingguo and were xenophobic, he really didn’t have much contact with him. In this matter, he was truly wronged.”

This outcome is only possible because they did indeed enjoy the benefits brought by the Yan family.

As for Lin Dongliang's matter, he wasn't involved at all, so—

"He wasn't involved? He actually wasn't involved?"

But upon closer examination, it doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

After all, the reason his father got into trouble was because he discovered the affair between the two of them. Ni Qingguo was a brother-in-law, and it was impossible for him to be with his mother all the time. It was not surprising that he was unaware of the affair.

But if that happens, Lin Wei will have a headache.

The Yan and Ni families have become like this, almost entirely because of her. When Ni Qingguo finds out, how could he not seek revenge on her?
