Seeing that the two men showed no remorse or fear, and remembering the losses she had suffered at their hands before, Mo Lijuan felt a little uneasy, unsure whether suing them would be of any use.
But she still said, trying to sound tough but actually weak, "Dad, Mom, Brother, let's report them. One pill is so expensive, it's enough to execute them ten or eight times over."
Then we won't have to pay back the money, and we can get back the money we gave them. We can then go back to the life we had before, where we didn't have to worry about money.
Jian Qiuhua was somewhat tempted, feeling that her daughter's words made sense.
Looking at her husband and son, "Mingxiu, Zifeng, look..."
"What are you looking at? She's being naive and you're just as clueless. You're all talk and no action," Mo Mingxiu scolded.
A life-saving drug, and it's for the leaders, what's so expensive about 12,000 yuan? No amount of money is too expensive.
Mo Zifeng also said, "Mom, no matter what, I was saved by Xiaoxue. We can't do something so ungrateful."
Jian Qiuhua looked embarrassed. So she was the bad guy, and all she wanted was to make life easier for her family.
"Dad, brother, how could you be so foolish? They swindled so much money from our family, why can't we sue them? If you won't sue, I will."
Mo Lijuan was initially a little hesitant, but Mo Mingxiu and Mo Zifeng's opposition only fueled her rebellious spirit, and she immediately decided to report them.
Wen Muxue smiled and said, "Go quickly. I see you're half-dead right now, you can't get out of bed and walk by yourself. Do you want me to go out and call the police for you? There should be police monitoring you at the door, it'll be quick."
"You, Wen Moxue, you bitch, don't be so arrogant."
"Who are you calling a slut?"
"I'm insulting you!"
"Oh, so it was that jerk who was insulting me!"
"You... huff huff..."
Mo Lijuan was so angry that she felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. You're not feeling well right now, so just take good care of yourself. Your health is the most important thing," Jian Qiuhua said, trying to soothe her and comfort her.
Wen Moxue added, "You really should take good care of your health, otherwise you won't be able to handle going to the farm, it could kill you."
"You... huff huff..."
"Alright, Xiaoxue, can't you say less? Juanzi is already like this, what more do you want? Do you really want to watch her die?" Jian Qiuhua said displeased.
Wen Moxue snorted, "When she was cursing us to die before, why didn't my second aunt tell her to say less? Now she's trying to persuade people."
"What kind of attitude is this? No matter what, I am your elder."
Jian Qiuhua was furious and could only use her status as an elder to intimidate others.
Wen Moxue said disdainfully, "Elder? You're only an elder if I acknowledge you. If I don't, you're nothing."
"Xiaoxue?!" Mo Mingxiu exclaimed.
Wen Moxue glanced at him sideways, "What, is Second Uncle going to use his seniority to pressure me now?"
Mo Mingxiu moved his lips slightly. What he said was true. If they acknowledged it, then they were the elders. If they didn't, then they were nothing.
After so many things have happened, family ties have probably been completely worn away.
"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on Juanzi's behalf."
“Dad…” Mo Lijuan was very unconvinced.
"Shut up!" Mo Mingxiu shouted sternly.
"You'd better stay home and take care of your health, otherwise no one will care about you."
Mo Lijuan pursed her lips, but ultimately closed her mouth in reluctance.
Wen Moxue pouted. If her second uncle had disciplined Mo Lijuan severely after she made her first mistake, instead of siding with her and blaming her, she would probably have been more restrained in her actions later on, and things wouldn't have gotten to this irreparable state.
Not wanting to share a hospital room with someone they disliked, Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue insisted on being discharged. They picked up Xiao Hui, summoned the Wolf King back overnight, and returned to Hangzhou the next day.
Mo Yitao and Wen Shengtao were very grateful to their son-in-law Lu Yuan for saving the child. However, the child seemed listless ever since returning home, perhaps because he had been given too much sleeping potion.
"It's alright, it'll be fine in a while!" Wen Shengtao comforted her.
Mo Yitao nodded, "The fact that the child is back safe and sound is the most important thing."
Then, thinking that the child's suffering was all because of Yu Xiaomei, he couldn't help but scold her again.
Lu Yuan asked, "How are those people doing now?"
“They’re all still locked up. The police said they’ll sentence them all together after the human traffickers are caught,” Wen Shengtao replied.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, thinking that this should be the case. Right now, only the people from Lijia Gou have been arrested, while the human traffickers are still playing the long game.
After waiting for another ten days or so, the police finally brought good news: the human trafficking case was closed. All the hard work had paid off; the entire human trafficking gang of over twenty people was apprehended.
More than 5,000 yuan in cash was found in the home of the trafficker who sold Xiaohui, and the total amount of stolen money of the entire criminal gang was more than 50,000 yuan.
This was a considerable sum in those days. Forty women who had been trafficked were rescued from Lijia Gou alone, and many more were rescued from other places as well.
Lu Yuan deserves much credit for solving this major case. The Armed Forces Department even contacted the military region where Lu Yuan was stationed and requested a commendation for him. Zhao Zhiyi was very happy to receive the call and awarded him a third-class merit.
Lu Yuan was overjoyed to have earned a third-class merit so easily. Remembering the help he received from the ticket sellers at the station, he went to a tailor shop to have four banners made and wrote four letters of commendation.
These four people included Mr. Du, who drove to Qianyang Commune.
The next day, the prepared banner and letter of commendation were delivered to the bus station.
The ticket seller, Lin Hongying, was extremely anxious, thinking she would never receive the banner and thank-you letter, but they finally arrived.
Lu Yuan could tell that Lin Hongying cared a lot about this gratitude that day. It wasn't for material thanks or anything; she just wanted a good reputation.
Lu Yuan was also capable; he took Wen Qihang and Mo Ziyang with him, and even called a uniformed police officer. The four of them each took a banner, unfurled them, and displayed them at the bustling train station for quite some time.
"Lin Hongying and the other three are truly kind-hearted comrades. They are of noble character, beautiful inside and out, helpful, kind to others, selfless in saving lives, dedicated to their work, and their merits are immeasurable..."
The four people who were praised couldn't stop smiling, especially Comrade Lin Hongying, whose mouth stretched all the way to her ears; she was overjoyed.
The three men thought to themselves that Comrade Lu was quite the talker and that he should say more.
Lin Hongying politely interrupted him, saying a few words of humility, not wanting him to keep praising her, or she would get carried away.
Unlike the other three, she didn't have two eggs pulling her down. What if she floated up into the sky?
