Chapter 22 Do You Want to Marry Her?
The village chief and the team leader arrived faster than the police and kept asking about Lin Qin's situation.
Lin Qin cried and felt helpless. "After my dad was injured, I didn't dare to sleep too deeply, for fear that he wouldn't be able to find me in the middle of the night. I woke up when I heard a sound in the patio. At first I thought it was a cat, but soon the wind blew in from the door. I knew it wasn't a cat, it must be a thief.
I was hiding there with a stick in my hand. I didn’t mean to kill anyone, but he rushed over and I was terrified. When I came to my senses, he was already like that.”
She still doesn't know who that person is, and her heart is filled with endless panic.
Most of the villagers were reasonable and knew that Lin Qin had a hard time, so few people sympathized with the thief who was beaten to death.
When the police came, everyone was still speaking up for Lin Qin, mentioning Lin Yi's injuries, Lin Qin's difficulties, and accusing the thief of being inhumane.
The police went forward to check and found that the thief was still breathing, but half dead. They immediately asked the village chief to call for people to send the thief to the hospital.
Lin Qin had to take care of Lin Yi and couldn't leave. The police did not force her to go to the police station to give a statement. They just left after investigating the scene at daybreak.
With such a big thing happening at home, the matter of bringing Liu Yaya back home had to be put on hold for the time being.
Everyone in the village was talking about how difficult Lin Qin's life was, but Li Lian was the only one who was extremely angry. Originally, she was planning to take advantage of Lin Yi's injury to force Lin Qin to remarry so that she could take over Lin Yi's house and fields. As long as Lin Qin got married, they could naturally take over Lin Yi's land.
But Lin Qin didn't know what was good for her and refused to agree. The idea she gave Qian Dashan was to attack Lin Qin in public, abduct her, and then spread some gossip. In that way, Lin Qin would have to marry him even if she was unwilling.
Everything was planned well, but unexpectedly a Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway. The man didn't know what was going on and was beaten half to death by Lin Qin. Qian Dashan was so scared when he received the news that he ran away.
What a useless guy! He deserves to be single at his age!
Liu Yongming and "Fang Ying" were as angry as Li Lian.
"What did you say? The gangster who went to steal money was beaten to death by Lin Qin?" "Fang Ying" had a dazed look on her face, unable to accept this fact.
Liu Yongming was even more depressed than her, and his expression was so sinister that he seemed ready to kill someone.
He took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and said slowly: "I finally understand. That woman is really desperate. We need to plan carefully to deal with her. She must be on high alert during this period. We can take action after she relaxes her vigilance for a while."
"What should we do with that gangster? Will his family cause us trouble?" "Fang Ying" was even more worried that they would be implicated.
Liu Yongming shook his head, looking panicked. "It shouldn't be. I didn't say anything. I just told him that Lin Qin had 500 yuan in his hand. He wanted to steal it himself. What does it have to do with us?"
Fang Ying gnashed her teeth in hatred, "That bitch is so lucky. She managed to escape every time I attacked her! It's really a ghost!"
Liu Yongming was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale when he realized what was going on. "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought so much about it. Now that you've said it, it reminds me that it seems like she's been unlucky ever since we planned for her to steal someone. Maybe she really saw a ghost!"
Fang Ying got goosebumps all over her body and kept slapping Liu Yongming, "Don't scare me! Let's tear up the certificate quickly to avoid any more trouble."
"Okay! Let's get the certificate tomorrow!" Liu Yongming agreed readily.
Ever since the gangster was taken away, Lin Qin has been absent-minded at home all day long, and she would be frightened by any noise outside the yard.
Lin Yi saw this and couldn't help but worry, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been injured, you wouldn't have had such a hard time."
Lin Qin shook her head, "Dad! It has nothing to do with you. I'm just worried that this kind of trouble will never end."
Lin Qingxiang and Lin Shaojun told others that the man came for her divorce compensation. Only she knew the actual situation. The man also wanted to sleep with her, perhaps wanting to have both money and beauty.
She can defend herself for a while, but not for a lifetime.
After this incident is over, there will definitely be people who will target her again.
Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh again.
Early the next morning.
Chen Wenjun brought Liu Yaya to Shanglin Village.
Liu Yaya hadn't seen her mother for several days. When she saw Lin Qin, she immediately rushed towards her, "Mom, I miss you so much! Didn't you say you would come to see me? You didn't keep your word!"
Lin Qin hugged her tightly, feeling distressed. "Mom misses you too, but there are too many things to do at home. Mom really doesn't have time to pick you up."
At this moment, Lin Qin was extremely grateful that Liu Yaya was not with her. If the child was present, she couldn't imagine what would happen.
Chen Wenjun asked solemnly, "When I entered the village just now, I heard people at the entrance talking about you killing someone. What's going on?"
He didn't believe Lin Qin would do that.
Lin Qin's eyes were red as she shook her head. "I didn't know a thief broke into my house that night. I kept beating him without knowing it, and by the time I realized what was happening, he had already fallen in a pool of blood. I didn't mean to kill anyone!"
Thinking of the thrilling event that night, Lin Qin still feels a lingering fear.
Chen Wenjun looked at Lin Yi who was sitting on a chair in the main hall and couldn't move. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you can't go on like this. You still need to recover for several months. What if a group of people break into your house together next time?
We can't just sit and wait to die. I think you should stay at my place for a while. My house is on the boat, and thieves can't get in. With me here, I can help Lin Qin, and it will be more convenient for you to recover."
Lin Qin was somewhat tempted, but couldn't act on her own, so she could only look at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was silent for a while, then said to Lin Qin, "Go to the fields and collect all the edible vegetables."
When Liu Yaya heard this, she jumped up and down and followed Lin Qin, "Mom, I'll go with you."
Lin Qin agreed and walked towards the vegetable field with a large basket.
On the way, she asked Liu Yaya about her life on the five-sailed boat.
Liu Yaya was so excited that she danced with joy. "Mom, I played rope flipping and stone arranging with Brother Ping'an on the boat. Uncle Chen took us fishing and picking up snails. He also caught a little turtle for us. It was so small. I raised it and kept it on the boat."
Seeing her happy, Lin Qin felt much better, "Then why didn't you bring it back?"
Liu Yaya shook her head. "The little turtle's home is in the river. If we don't want to keep it anymore, we can just let it go home. I'm afraid it will die if we bring it back."
Seeing that the child was compassionate, Lin Qin didn't say anything.
Lin Yi also asked Chen Wenjun about Liu Yaya's life on the five-sailed boat.
Chen Wenjun did not hide it. "Yaya is a little seasick. I took them to a small deserted island on Nanxi River to pick up rocks and fish during the day, and then got on the boat when it was getting dark. She lay down in the back cabin and fell asleep quickly. She was quite happy these days."
Lin Yi smiled with relief and looked at Chen Wenjun deeply. "Now it's just the two of us. Tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Aqin? Do you want to marry her?"
