"Yingzi said that unless Yunshu speaks up, she will be locked up for at least 20 days." Li Taohong hummed and sighed, "Sister, no matter how wrong our parents are, Yunshu can't do this as a granddaughter. When she gets married again, what will her in-laws think of her?"
She felt that she was doing this for Yun Shu's own good. This child was capable and smart, but he was too tough in his actions. Wasn't she afraid of being drowned in spit?
Li Fenlan's face gradually darkened. She only heard one thing clearly: Li Dayong and his men actually went to the field to cause trouble! As a mother, she knew best how much effort Yun Shu had put in to contract this canteen.
She had to get up before 15:00 in the morning, watch the kitchen cook in the morning, count the meat, rice and vegetables in the afternoon, and go to the night school at night. She hardly had a minute to rest, and it was only in the past two days that the cafeteria finally operated normally that Yun Shu had time to breathe.
And Li Dayong and the others were actually trying to sabotage Yunshu's business. She knew her parents and brother best, and she could tell at a glance what they would say and curse when they got there, and how much trouble they would bring to Yunshu!
"Big sister?"
Seeing that Li Fenlan didn't say anything, Li Taohong shouted anxiously, "You've been in there for a few days. Let Yunshu say something. We won't dare to make trouble in the future."
Li Fenlan's usually gentle eyes stared straight at Li Taohong: "Taohong, are you here today to speak for us?"
Li Taohong was stunned for a moment. She thought her elder sister was the same as herself. Although she had a big quarrel with her parents, she couldn't really cut off the relationship. Nowadays, only parents don't recognize their children. How can children not recognize their parents?
A few hundred years ago, being unfilial could result in the guillotine, and it was a serious crime in rural areas.
"What they did was definitely wrong, but they have learned their lesson! Big sister, think about Yunshu. If Li Dayong returns to the village like that, I don't know how he will ruin Yunshu's reputation! She is already divorced, and her reputation is not good. How can she get married again in the future?!"
Although Li Taohong wanted Li Dayong and the others to be released, she was also thinking from her own perspective and for Yun Shu's sake. This junior was already in the wrong when confronting an elder, so she should just endure it if she could.
Li Fenlan pursed her lips tightly. She glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost nine o'clock and Yunshu and Mingcheng would be back soon.
"I'll talk to Yunshu. You should go back first." She opened the door with a calm expression on her face: "Taohong, don't worry about this matter. I will take care of it."
Li Taohong breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her elder sister would not ignore it. "Okay, then talk to Yunshu and don't be angry with her. After all, it was Li Dayong and the others who went too far."
Of course they were overdoing it, her daughter was the one who was wronged!
Li Fenlan's usually gentle face was shadowed. She hummed and said, "I understand."
Just as Li Taohong was about to leave, Xie Yunshu and Xie Mingcheng came in from the corridor. The brother and sister were still discussing a math problem. When they saw Li Taohong, they were both a little surprised: "Aunt?"
Li Taohong also loved her niece, but she was not her biological mother after all, so she considered things more from her own perspective. When she saw Yun Shu, she felt a little guilty and glanced at Li Fenlan.
Thinking about this kind of thing, I decided to let my elder sister talk, so I smiled and said, "I have something to ask my elder sister. It's so late, go to bed quickly."
She left in a hurry. Xie Yunshu and Xie Mingcheng looked at each other and felt strange: "Mom, what's the matter with my aunt?"
Li Fenlan lowered her head and invited the two girls to drink pear juice: "I boiled pear juice. I drink it every day when I read to moisten my throat. She didn't have anything important to do, she just stopped by on the way."
The brother and sister didn't think too much about it and started discussing the math problem.
"Sister, this is a question for senior high school students, so my answer must be correct."
"Who are you looking down on, you little brat?"
Li Fenlan picked up the sweater smoothly. This time she knitted a light blue one. Yunshu kept saying how kind Xiaobai was. She was so busy every day that she didn't have time to return it, so she, as a mother, knitted a sweater and sent it to him...
As for Li Dayong and the others, this time, don't try to prevent her daughter from making money and finding a partner!
The next morning, Li Fenlan dressed up and went out with a small bag on her shoulder: "Yunshu, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some melon seeds. You guys are not at home tonight, and I'm bored watching TV by myself."
Xie Yunshu didn't care much and just said casually: "Mom, if you are bored, let Lin Cuiping come down. Doesn't she always shout that she wants to see Yiping and Ruping?"
Li Fenlan smiled and said, "This girl is getting married soon. She stays at home every day making new clothes for herself!"
Xie Yunshu was a little surprised: "The man won't buy me new clothes?"
There is not much gift for marriage in Haicheng. Some highly educated families don't even ask for a gift. But one thing is that the man must at least buy the woman a new set of clothes, especially the ones to be worn on the wedding day, which are basically prepared by the man.
The two of them were getting married, but she didn't seem to see Lin Cuiping's in-laws come to give New Year gifts, let alone the man's house. After all, Lin Cuiping's character couldn't keep secrets, if her boyfriend came, wouldn't he show off to her eight hundred times the day before?
"Maybe the rules are different!" Li Fenlan had something on his mind, but he didn't say much and turned around and walked out of the building.
The police station opposite Haicheng Hospital.
Li Fenlan was a little nervous. Although she was already 40 years old this year, she had developed a cowardly and soft character throughout her life. She didn't even dare to look at such a place more than once when she passed by, let alone enter it.
But today, what she was about to do was enough to overturn all the timidity of the previous half of her life.
Today, Lao Zhang happened to be on duty at the police station. He was holding a large teacup and had been watching the woman with her head down for a long time. She was wearing a blue cloth hood and her hair was tied back. She would look inside and was so scared when she saw someone that she quickly shrank her neck.
Are you here to report a crime or to surrender?
After sitting behind the table for about twenty minutes, I finally saw the woman walk in with a nervous look on her face, as if she was going to die heroically.
Old Zhang frowned and said in a serious tone, "What's the matter?"
Li Fenlan was startled. She looked around and saw that there were no other people except a few comrades in uniform working, so she felt relieved. She slowly sat down in front of Lao Zhang, bit her lip and asked in a low voice: "Comrade, I want to ask, was there a man named Li Dayong who was detained in the past two days? There were two older people with him."
Li Dayong?
Zhang remembered this name. Captain Shen personally ordered him to be locked up. He remembered it clearly! A few days ago, a woman came with her child and cried and made a scene. But we arrested them with reasons and evidence. We can't let them go just because they cried and made a scene.
So, this person is also here to beg for mercy?
Lao Zhang's face darkened. "This is a police station, not a vegetable market. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
Li Fenlan shrank his neck and was about to back out, but when he thought of Xie Yunshu, he straightened his chest and said in a low but firm voice: "I'm here to file a complaint. I'm suing Li Shenggen and Li Dayong!"
