Lin Dongsheng: "..." I don't want to go.
He bluntly told the old lady, "Qianqian went to the hospital today. The doctor wrote her a note saying that she did have a concussion and was a little malnourished. Qianqian can't get too excited right now and needs to rest well. Getting excited can easily lead to bad things and even death. Old lady, you can't upset her any more. I'll have Chunhua come and collect the money for her medical treatment later."
Grandma Fang didn't want to hear this, but she had no choice but to give it a cold shoulder.
Seeing Lin Dongsheng about to leave, Shen Qianqian loudly proclaimed from the side, "Even if Uncle Lin doesn't want to take me to the police station, I won't give up. I've already been there today. The police there are kind and friendly, and they answer all my questions. I've been scammed out of so much money; it's a huge amount. If they find out, I'll definitely get shot!"
Grandma Fang's wrinkled face twitched, a little frightened: "What are you going to the police station for? What thousands of yuan? That's nonsense. Your parents don't even..."
This burden is so reckless! It's terrifying!
"Grandma, I advise you to think carefully before you speak. If you say something you shouldn't, you'll be evading the facts and consciously embezzling this money. That would be a crime! Uncle Lin is still here."
"He's so fair and impartial, he wouldn't protect anyone!" Lin Dongsheng: "....."
Grandma Fang was dumbfounded, speechless, and glared fiercely at Chen Qianqian. Grandma Fang was unwilling to give up: "Dongsheng, what were you doing at the police station today?"
“Grandma, don’t make things difficult for Uncle Lin, let me tell you! Su Qiang, that guy from the educated youth settlement who’s been lingering in our Wuxing Production Brigade and refusing to leave, tricked me into working for him. I got injured and he even tried to ruin my reputation, and he’s even spied on the women’s restroom more than once! This behavior is extremely heinous. Uncle Lin, the most impartial brigade leader in our Wuxing Production Brigade, took me to the police station. The officers there took over the case quickly, and they’ll be here soon.”
"Uncle Lin, you should go now. This matter has troubled you too much. My grandma will pay back the money later. If she doesn't, I'll go and report her to the police. Anyway, they'll be here soon. I'm familiar with the procedures. You should go now."
Shen Qianqian waved her hand.
Grandma Fang's expression changed drastically. Seeing that Lin Dongsheng didn't refute it, it must be true.
No, no, she has to teach this burden a lesson later. Call the police? Does he think he can boss her around?
Lin Dongsheng was somewhat impressed by Shen Qianqian; she was really reckless. Did hitting her head really change a person?
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. "Forget it," he thought, "let the Yu family worry about it themselves. I've already taken advantage of them."
Forget about the living expenses, raising a child like this is just asking for trouble. They deserve it.
Lin Dongsheng turned and left.
Grandma Fang couldn't wait to stand up and teach Shen Qianqian a lesson.
Just then, a loud voice rang out from outside the courtyard gate, echoing throughout half the village.
"Police! Police are here!"
Grandma Fang's knees buckled, and she slumped back down. It really was happening!
Seeing her like this, Shen Qianqian gave a cold smile, turned around and ran outside: "I'm going to see what crime it is to owe money and not pay it back!"
She stopped and ran away.
Grandma Fang was terrified and hurriedly chased after her. A woman was standing outside the door, looking in the direction Shen Qianqian had left. She turned around and saw Grandma Fang walking out again.
"Mom, where are you going?"
When Old Mrs. Fang saw her second daughter-in-law, she was so anxious that her mouth trembled: "Quick, quick, chase after her and stop that burden! Don't let her say anything out of line!"
Wan Yindi was confused and could only follow after them.
Shen Qianqian ran very fast, quickly leaving the two behind. Arriving at the educated youth settlement, she saw a face full of...
Terrified, Su Qiang was led out by two uniformed police officers, who restrained his arms. A crowd of people on both sides of the road pointed and whispered among themselves.
Shen Qianqian glanced back, gave a wicked smile to the panting Grandma Fang and her second aunt, and made a move to push through the crowd and run towards the police station.
Grandma Fang was terrified when she saw that smile. Realizing that she was serious, she quickly ran forward and hugged Shen Qianqian tightly, whispering to herself.
"We'll talk about this when we get back! We'll talk about it when we get back!"
The police arresting people was quite a spectacle; the large group of people, who had nothing else to do, watched with great interest until the police disappeared from sight, and only then did they reluctantly turn their attention away.
Taking the opportunity, Shen Qianqian interjected and praised Lin Dongsheng twice, letting everyone know that it was Lin Dongsheng who took the initiative to report to the police and rid the people of a scourge.
Shen Qianqian's voice attracted everyone's attention. When they turned around, they saw that Old Mrs. Fang's withered body was tightly hugging Shen Qianqian in an awkward posture.
Someone asked curiously, "Grandma Fang, what are you doing holding Qianqian?" Grandma Fang couldn't find an excuse.
Shen Qianqian pointed to her head and said, "Grandma is just worried about me. My head is so badly injured, the doctor in the county said it's a concussion, which can be fatal. Grandma is probably worried about me, she insisted on holding me, and even said she'd make me egg and sugar water with two eggs! Grandma, don't you think so?"
Grandma Fang had no words to express her suffering, so she just forced a dry laugh and nodded.
Two eggs? Why don't you just rob a bank?!
The people around looked at her with disbelief. Who was Old Lady Fang? She was a notorious shrew in the Five-Star Production Brigade, known for her stinginess and miserliness. She wouldn't even treat her own granddaughter well, so why would she treat a granddaughter who wasn't her own?
These words made everyone uneasy. Could it be that Qianqian, this honest girl, had been deceived? When Grandma Fang saw the looks in these people's eyes, her expression darkened again, and she was about to start scolding them.
Shen Qianqian said, "Grandma, let's go back. The police have left. My parents sent so many things earlier, and they're all with you. Now that I'm injured, I have to enjoy them. And that money—my parents send money back every month, right? Take it out and return it to Uncle Lin. He worked so hard to take me to the hospital and even paid for my medical expenses. We can't delay this..." Everyone's eyes lit up, their gossipy nature resurfacing.
It turns out that the divorced couple hadn't forgotten their daughter; they even sent her things and money back home.
Come!
The Yu family keeps saying that they're raising Qianqian on their leftover food. Wow, the Yu family is so shameless! Isn't this stealing someone else's child's food money?
Ruan Yuan and Shen Jia are both well-off; they must have given quite a bit, right?
There's no need to guess; it won't be long before the whole brigade knows about it. Old Mrs. Fang was furious, her heart aching, and she dragged Shen Qianqian back home.
Shen Qianqian didn't refuse, and waved to the several women with curious faces: "Aunties, I'm going back to have some egg and sweet soup first."
Grandma Fang: Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Wan Yindi, who followed closely behind, hesitated to speak.
Halfway there, Shen Qianqian broke free from Old Lady Fang and ran home first. She went straight to the kitchen, grabbed an axe, and was about to chop it down at Old Lady Fang's door.
When Grandma Fang rushed back and saw this scene, she was furious. She was horrified, because those inside were all her precious treasures!
"Stop! Stop! You've gone too far! What do you think you're doing?!"
