Seeing the current situation, Old Lady Wang knew things were going badly, but the situation was no longer under her control.
"Fine, fine! I see you're really determined to protect the thief. You're in cahoots with the thief, and you even dare to hit people..." Zhu Lin pointed at Qin Fen, trembling with anger.
But Qin Fen remained defiant, saying, "What can you do to me?"
Old Qin rushed over to comfort the crying Old Wang, who was the instigator of the whole thing. The Su family women, mother and daughters-in-law, were hugging each other, both holding their children and sobbing. They were clearly thieves, but they acted like they had been greatly wronged.
Lu Juan was anything but polite to Old Man Qin, yelling, "We're catching a thief! Uncle Qin, your son not only interfered but also started the fight! We'd rather kill him! Look at my husband, we're the victims, and now you're showing off here? Protecting the thief! Uncle Qin, this is no way to do things!"
Upon hearing his wife's words, Zhu Lin immediately retorted sarcastically, "Heh, a bunch of thieves! You two, father and son, are protecting them without even asking what happened, and you're even twisting the truth. It's true what they say, like father, like son! Wang Meifen, you two, mother and daughter-in-law, are really good at stealing! You two steal men, and your son steals. It's true that birds of a feather flock together!"
"Zhu Lin, what are you yelling about? Believe me or not, I'll beat you to death."
"Let's see who dies first, you or I. You're not going to the police station? Then go to the Revolutionary Committee! The son stole, caught red-handed, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having an affair—they're sure to find some clues!"
Upon hearing Zhu Lin's words, both the Wang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the Qin family father and son, felt their blood run cold.
"Alright, it's the Wang family again! Stealing time and time again! Aren't you two going to do anything about it? And you two, father and son, you're such troublemakers! What business is it of yours? Why are you always here? It's wrong for Jia Bao and his family to steal, and it's good for the children to be taught a lesson. After all, a sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned. But you, you come up here and start making trouble. What business is it of yours? Besides, you even started it. Do you think you're so right?" Aunt Yuan was very rude to Qin Fen. She looked down on Qin Fen. A man in his early thirties, he had ended up like this. He should look for the reasons within himself.
Although Aunt Yuan didn't want things to escalate, she wasn't unconditionally protecting the thief. She didn't want things to get out of hand simply because she had a grandson of her own and felt sorry for him. Also, as the head of the management office, she didn't want a bad reputation within her jurisdiction; otherwise, she would not only lose face but also her position.
It's important to know that although this position doesn't have much power, it can still bring a lot of benefits, and connections are also a very important part.
Although the three Wang children were all somewhat mediocre, they had all lost their father, and their father had sacrificed himself to protect the factory's property. They were struggling to make ends meet, and life was indeed difficult.
That's why she didn't want her child to end up in a juvenile detention center. If the child did go there and it was recorded in his file, he would have almost no future.
Moreover, he didn't want to make a big deal out of compassion for the child, but she also agreed that the boy should be taught a lesson. If he wasn't, the child would keep doing it, and it would never end.
Moreover, these three don't dare to steal outside; they only steal from their own yard, specifically targeting acquaintances. It's just too disgusting.
So she didn't stand up when the three Wang brothers were beaten, and Wang Meifen, whose reputation had been ruined so badly, also needed to be taught a lesson.
However, she disagreed with calling the police or handing it over to the Revolutionary Committee. Originally, she thought that the two sides could talk things out and make the matter smaller, but she didn't expect that Qin Fen, that brainless bastard, would be so utterly foolish for a widow.
"Old Qin, I also have to say something to you. As a father, you can't set a good example for your son, or at least you shouldn't hold him back and lead him astray! Look at how old your Qin Fen is. He should be finding a wife and settling down with someone. But go out and ask around. What kind of reputation do people have of your son? He's always following you around and not learning anything good. Do you really want to live like this in the future? Don't you even want to have any descendants? You have to apologize to Zhu Lin for what happened today, and you have to compensate him."
"Why should we compensate him? Look what she did to Wang Meizi!"
"Just because you started it, and just because Zhu Lin is injured now, what does it have to do with you that Old Lady Wang is injured? What right do you have to interfere? If you want to interfere with her, go get a marriage certificate first, otherwise don't come here to cause trouble."
Qin Fen was also indignant, "Look at my sister Meifen, and Baolai and Baobao, what they beat them up like! He only took one punch, and they want me to compensate him? Dream on!"
"What does Widow Wang have to do with you? She and her son want you to stand up for them? What right do you have?" Aunt Yuan was practically furious.
“Meifen is my future daughter-in-law, and Jiabao and the others are my future stepsons. Why can’t I take care of them?”
"She's your future wife, has she acknowledged her?"
Qin Fen went straight to the point, saying, "Anyway, I'm not going to pay."
Lu Juan, standing nearby, laughed angrily, "Fine, you won't compensate us inside, huh!"
Lu Juan grabbed a stool and walked straight to the Qin family's house. With two loud "bangs," the Qin family's windows shattered.
The door collapsed with two more "bangs".
