Chapter 14: The Zhang family's good days in the Lin Mansion are over
"My son is innocent!"
At the gate of the Lin Mansion, Aunt Zhang sat there, patting her thigh and crying, "My poor son, you are killed by your own wife! Now your brother will be killed by her too!"
"I can't live anymore!"
When she saw Lin Wanqing appear, Aunt Zhang cried even harder.
How could she not work hard? Zhou Huijin said her son's situation was very serious and he would probably go to jail. Her anxious tears were genuine and unfaithful.
The only way now is to beg Lin Wanqing and ask her to explain that it was just a misunderstanding. Only in this way can her son survive!
Her handkerchief friend Aunt Ma even grabbed Lin Wanqing and said with red eyes: "Wanqing, let's talk it out. Look how angry you've made your mother."
"Why am I the one who's angry?" Lin Wanqing said with amusement, pushing away Aunt Ma's hand that was holding her. "It was clearly her son who tried to break into my bedroom and steal something, and I caught him red-handed. So she's angry because of her son who didn't learn his lesson."
"We're a family, what are you talking about stealing? That's too harsh. It's not stealing, it's not stealing!"
Aunt Ma snorted, and said in a long tone, pinching her throat: "If Guodong were here, I don't believe he would send his own brother in just because his brother went into his own bedroom!"
Another woman in a flowered shirt nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right. Wanqing, why are you so unreasonable?"
"If you really end up in jail, and there's a stain on your body, it'll affect the next generation. Think about it, are you so cruel as to let your niece be implicated?"
The surrounding neighbors took turns bombarding Lin Wanqing.
At first, these people helped her catch people with a common hatred for the enemy, but in just a short while they stood against her.
They are righteous but ignorant, so ignorant that they think it is worthwhile for a woman to endure humiliation in exchange for the prosperity of her family.
So they really couldn't understand why Lin Wanqing handed Zhang Guoliang over to the police.
It's a family matter that can be resolved behind closed doors, right? Why make a big fuss?
Lin Wanqing knew that it was useless to argue with them, so she simply kept silent and just looked at Zhang Ma coldly.
Seeing that Lin Wanqing hadn't said anything, Aunt Zhang thought she was scared. She rolled her eyes and knelt down in front of Lin Wanqing.
"Wanqing, Guoliang didn't mean to steal anything. You misunderstood. Mom is kneeling down for you. Go to the police station and explain yourself!"
As Aunt Zhang spoke, she began to kowtow to Lin Wanqing.
When elders kneel down and kowtow to their juniors, it will shorten their lifespan and is also a form of coercion that takes the form of retreat in order to advance.
Especially in front of everyone, no matter what, Lin Wanqing will have to bear the infamy of forcing her mother-in-law to kneel down.
Just ask her if Lin Wanqing is afraid? Zhang Ma is very proud.
Lin Wanqing was not moved at all, and still looked at her calmly, watching her kowtow to her continuously.
"Wanqing, how can you let your elders kneel down and kowtow to you?" Aunt Ma was a little angry and reached out to pull her old sister.
Aunt Zhang remained kneeling there, unmoved, her hair disheveled as she cried out, "No, I won't get up! I demand my daughter-in-law give us a way out!"
"Whatever you want." Lin Wanqing curled her lips. "Anyway, the more you make a fuss, the bigger the matter will get, and the more embarrassed your son will be."
Seeing Zhang Ma's frightened expression, Lin Wanqing knew that Zhou Huijin must have tried very hard to deceive her.
The more frightened they were, the better it was for her.
"Lin Wanqing!"
A shout was heard in the distance, mixed with heavy breathing, gradually approaching.
Lin Wanqing looked over and saw Yang Aihua running towards them with her daughter Zhang Xiaojuan.
As soon as she arrived in front of her, Yang Aihua pressed the child's neck with her hand and pushed her directly in front of Lin Wanqing, "Kneel down in front of your second aunt! Beg her to let your father go. If she doesn't, you must keep kneeling here and never get up!"
The asphalt road was hot under the sun. The little girl was wearing a short skirt and her legs were scraped off when she fell heavily, but she didn't dare to say a word. She bit her lips tightly and knelt there with her head down.
In her previous life, Zhang Xiaojuan was the only person who visited her after she became paralyzed. She bought her fruit, washed it, and fed it to her personally.
Even if Zhang Ma and Yang Aihua knelt and died at her doorstep, Lin Wanqing wouldn't blink an eye, but if Xiaojuan was brought up, Lin Wanqing would really feel uncomfortable.
Children would also cause greater public outrage.
Didn't Yang Aihua specifically pull the child over from her grandmother's house because she saw through this?
Someone immediately advised, "Wanqing, the child is still young, forget it, don't let the child suffer."
Seeing someone joining in, Yang Aihua immediately knelt down.
"Sister-in-law! I know you have a problem with Mom and me, so can you just pity Xiaojuan?"
"The child can't live without a father. Please go to the police station and explain yourself. Let Guoliang go!"
"If Guoliang has a stain on himself, Juanzi will also be affected in the future!
Juanzi loves Second Aunt the most, and she's always talking about her. Yang Aihua wiped her tears and reached out to push Zhang Xiaojuan hard, "Juanzi, say something! Please beg your Second Aunt!"
Zhang Xiaojuan pursed her lips and said nothing, tears welling up in her eyes.
Yang Aihua raised her hand and hit him, "Speak, you mute! Speak quickly!"
Lin Wanqing couldn't bear it any longer and pulled Zhang Xiaojuan up from the ground. "Yang Aihua, why are you taking your anger out on a child?"
Zhang Xiaojuan secretly turned her back and wiped away her tears.
Yang Aihua knew that Lin Wanqing had softened her heart, and she felt a little proud, but she still pretended to be humble and said: "Sister-in-law, I know you care about Juanzi. Even for the sake of the child, can you go to the police station and say a few good words for her?"
Lin Wanqing took Zhang Xiaojuan's hand, shielding her behind her, and said compassionately, "I can forgive Zhang Guoliang, or I can go to the police station and have him released."
"But the prerequisite is that he has to review this matter at a factory meeting and apologize to me in public."
"I need to check the apology letter in advance and keep it on file at work as a warning."
If he agreed, wouldn't Zhang Guodong be admitting that he was a thief? It was just an attempted theft.
Yang Aihua and Zhang Ma looked at each other. They were completely at a loss. When they heard that Lin Wanqing had compromised and could get the person out, they immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! We'll agree to whatever you say!"
It can be seen that they were really fooled by Zhou Jinhui.
Lin Wanqing bent down to wipe Zhang Xiaojuan's tears. "I just feel sorry for the child. I don't want him to be without a father in the future. My Zhijie is pitiful, but pity for only one person is enough."
After Lin Wanqing wiped the child's tears, she also wiped the corners of her own eyes.
The person beside him also felt bad and sighed, "Wanqing, you have been wronged in this matter. You are sensible and have a conscience, but you are unlucky."
"Your father is kind, you are worthy of being his daughter."
Everyone sighed at Lin Wanqing's tragic life, and occasionally praised her.
Lin Wanqing curled the corners of her mouth.
It seems that Yang Aihua and Zhang Ma believed Zhou Huijin's words and really thought that Zhang Guodong would be arrested and imprisoned for several years.
The more afraid they are, the more Lin Wanqing can negotiate with them.
She just wanted to make Zhang Guodong lose face, completely and thoroughly, and let everyone know about it.
But in the eyes of others, she is still a kind and good person.
After all, a harmonious family is the key to success. For the sake of this family, she even forgave her uncle who climbed through her window.
From now on, when the neighbors talk about her, they will say that she is a conscientious capitalist like her father.
Moreover, even so, Lin Wanqing did not drive them out of the Lin Mansion, and everyone would only praise her kindness even more.
However, what others don’t know is that because of this, the Zhang family’s good days in the Lin Mansion have come to an end.
