When Zhao Qinglan returned home, everyone gathered around to ask about the progress.
"Alright, don't worry anymore. The police will handle this, and they will be punished accordingly. We can just wait to take the train home the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, that's great!" Erwa cheered.
It's satisfying to see bad guys get punished in TV shows and movies, let alone experiencing it in real life.
After dealing with the Niu family for so long, Zhao Qinglan was exhausted and quickly went back to her room to lie down and rest.
Actually, Zhao Qinglan didn't immediately think of setting a trap for the Niu family.
She just happened to think of the Niu family when they asked for money.
Ordinary people generally have a weak sense of law. Even in later generations with advanced information and numerous legal education programs, many people are still clueless about some basic legal knowledge, let alone in this era.
Seeing the Niu family's behavior, Zhao Qinglan didn't think they were particularly cultured, so she went along with it.
To be honest, she simply knows how to use legal means to protect herself.
She didn't care about what happened to the Niu family.
However, the next day, Niu Xiangyun and her father, who had finally reappeared, came to their house again.
This time, he didn't dare to be arrogant. Instead, he humbly apologized to them and begged them to spare his family so that the police station could release them.
However, Zhao Qinglan told them that breaking the law is breaking the law, and it's not something that can be resolved with just an apology.
Niu's father got agitated and wanted to fight Zhao Qinglan, but Ding Yu quickly subdued him, revealing that Ding Yu, a young woman, was not only Zhao Qinglan's subordinate but also possessed considerable martial arts skills.
The Niu father and daughter left in a huff.
Before leaving the capital, Zhao Qinglan told her uncle and sister to keep an eye on their courtyard so that the old man wouldn't run into any more trouble. She was still worried about the couple she had met that day.
The couple did indeed return as soon as they left.
However, they first inquired around the area to find out what Zhao Qinglan and her group had been up to these past few days.
This inquiry was shocking; upon learning of the Niu family's treatment, the couple looked at each other in dismay.
Although they still coveted the courtyard, they were always afraid of following in the footsteps of the Niu family.
After all, the Niu family are native Beijingers. They were arrested so easily. How dare these outsiders act so recklessly?
The two of them didn't dare to use force for the time being, so they finally came up with a way to appease each other.
That means coming over every few days to chat with the old man and bring him some things.
They thought that once the old man realized how good they were to him, it would be much easier to discuss the house then.
As long as they don't mention the house, and occasionally come to visit, the old man will still give them some face.
Zhao Qinglan took the children away for a few days, and Li Huai, who was alone at home, became a "waiting stone" for his wife, hoping every day that she would come home.
Zhao Qinglan didn't tell her husband before returning.
When Li Huai got off work and arrived at his doorstep, he was about to open the door when he found that it opened easily with a push. He strode in with surprise.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I smelled the aroma of food.
He entered the house and saw his wife setting out the dishes.
Zhao Qinglan smiled when she saw him. "You're back. Wash your hands and eat."
"Yes," Li Huai replied loudly.
If it weren't for the fact that all the children were there, he would have immediately picked up his wife and spun her around.
During meals, he would always stare at his wife with a silly grin, as if he couldn't get enough of it. It was only when Zhao Qinglan felt that it was too embarrassing to do this in front of the children that she stomped on her husband's feet under the table several times, which finally made him restrain himself a bit.
"I saw the phone was installed, so I tried making a call, and it worked perfectly," Zhao Qinglan said.
“Yes, I personally supervised their performance,” Li Huai said with a smile.
"With a telephone, everything will be much more convenient for our family from now on."
After the family finished their meal in a warm and cozy atmosphere, Li Huai urged his wife to rest while he cleaned up and washed the dishes.
The children knew that their father was trying to impress their mother, so they all smiled and went back to their rooms, not vying for any work.
After finishing his work outside and entering the bedroom, Li Huai saw his wife applying makeup to her face.
"Let me tell you, my trip to Beijing this time was quite eventful."
Li Huaiyini was just getting into it when he moved closer to her and asked, "How come it's become more elaborate?"
“Not only are people introducing potential partners to my uncle, but there are also matchmakers for our eldest son.”
"What!" He wasn't surprised when he heard that his uncle, Sun Guangming, was being introduced to his wife, but he couldn't help but exclaim when he heard about his eldest son.
All romantic thoughts have temporarily vanished.
While applying the ointment, Zhao Qinglan talked about the bizarre behavior of the Niu family.
"Actually, I went to the police station later and said that there were other factors that led to this situation. It wasn't exactly pleading for leniency, but how should I put it, sending all three members of the Niu family to jail at once, I still feel that it was a bit too much."
It wasn't that she was soft-hearted; she just didn't want to make too many enemies.
The police also considered the victim's attitude in this matter. She softened her stance, and the punishment for the Niu family was indeed reduced.
The Niu family members were detained for a few days. The mother, filled with remorse, took full responsibility for the crime and was kept in custody. The Niu family's son and daughter-in-law were released after paying some fines.
Besides these, Zhao Qinglan also talked about her worries about the old man and her encounter with the Dou family couple.
Li Huai truly hadn't expected his wife to go through so much during this trip to the capital.
Because someone had arranged a marriage for her eldest son, Zhao Qinglan began to talk about her son's marriage.
"What kind of daughter-in-law do you think Da Wa will find for us when he's old enough to find someone?"
In her past life, she had been a mother-in-law before.
But she was a stepmother-in-law, and given how Wang Xiaofei treated her, how much respect could his new wife possibly show her?
Upon hearing this, Li Huai replied without hesitation, "First and foremost, you must respect your elders and be filial to your parents, especially to your mother. Otherwise, he should just take his wife and get out of here as soon as possible."
Zhao Qinglan laughed out loud. "That's your son, and you're just going to kick him out like that?"
“We’ve fulfilled our responsibilities as parents by raising them to adulthood. Are we supposed to take care of them for the rest of their lives?” He was already looking forward to a happy life with his wife when the children were no longer at home.
It's so nice to be able to travel around and do whatever I want, without being tied down by the children.
"You're just being stubborn." Zhao Qinglan glared at her husband. Didn't she know what kind of man he was? He seemed like a strict father, but in reality, he loved his child very much.
As soon as she took off, it was as if a signal had been given, and the man immediately picked her up and threw her onto the bed.
"Qinglan, we haven't been affectionate in a long time." He then silenced his wife with a kiss.
Zhao Qinglan kicked her husband twice before he went over to lock the door, and then he rushed back.
The couple's conversation came to an abrupt end, leaving only tender emotions.
