The police arrived quickly; Wen Qihang encountered them on the way.
They originally had something to discuss with Lu Yuan about Mo Lijuan, since Mo Lijuan's crime was related to Lu Yuan, and they should inform him of her death.
"The human traffickers have been caught, the case is closed, and it's time to go to the farm. But in order to avoid being sent to the farm, she secretly poured cold water on herself from head to toe in the middle of the night."
"She had just had an induced labor and was already in poor health. After several basins of cold water were poured on her, she fainted before she even left the bath room."
"No one noticed in the middle of the night. By the time they were found at dawn, it was too late. The person was already dying and couldn't be saved."
The police explained Mo Lijuan's situation in a few words, and everyone around heard it clearly.
Now even fewer people believed Jian Qiuhua's words.
Lu Yuan never expected that Mo Lijuan would ultimately bring about her own downfall.
She really has no sense of self-awareness. It's already winter, and it's gotten cold in Hangzhou. Even a normal person can't withstand being splashed with cold water. How could someone who just had an induced abortion and is already very weak possibly stand it?
Sigh, it really proves the saying, "If you don't do stupid things, you won't die!"
"By the way, Comrade Lu, the group of women rescued from Lijia Gou sent a message asking us to thank you on their behalf. They were able to be rescued thanks to you."
Lu Yuan smiled and said a few modest words, then casually asked about their future plans.
"We are trying to contact their families as much as possible. Those who do not want to go back can stay in Lijia Gou, where there are still fields and houses that can be allocated to them. We will also arrange for people to visit them regularly."
Lu Yuan nodded. This arrangement was quite good. In their situation, some didn't want to face their families and didn't want to go back, while others had families who didn't want to face them and didn't want them to go back at all.
Staying in Lijia Gou at least provides shelter from the wind and rain, and offers fields and land, allowing them to support themselves in the future.
Regular visits from police officers also help prevent anyone from bullying these women.
When the police left, they took Jian Qiuhua with them. The neighbors, seeing that there was no excitement, dispersed.
Mo Yitao was still angry and scolded Jian Qiuhua for being clueless.
“I advised her to spend money to buy Juanzi a job in the city instead of sending her to the countryside, but she just couldn’t bear to part with the money to buy her a job. She even said that if Xiaoxue could go to the countryside, Juanzi could too.”
“I never expected this child to be so wicked. Not only did she cause you so much trouble after going to the countryside, but she even wrote a letter of complaint after she came back. Your second uncle and his wife even blamed us, thinking that we were unreasonable and didn’t let her off the hook.”
"Then she was sold again, and now she's gone. Every single one of these things was caused by her own recklessness, and now she's blaming us for her death."
As Mo Yitao spoke, she began to wipe away tears.
Firstly, I was angry, and secondly, Mo Lijuan was, after all, my niece. Although she was despicable, she was still heartbroken that she had lost her life.
"Mom, don't be sad. I bet she came here today to try and get away with not paying the rest of the money. It's just a pity she used the wrong method; we didn't buy it."
Lu Yuan guessed that Jian Qiuhua originally wanted to use Mo Lijuan's death and public opinion pressure to force them to agree not to repay the money, and even return the money they had previously received.
They just didn't expect Mo Yitao to deny it so readily, nor did they expect them to call the police.
Wen Qihang went to Mo Erjiu's house and told them that Jian Qiuhua had been taken away by the police. Mo Mingxiu and Mo Zifeng were very troubled. They were busy with Mo Zijuan's funeral arrangements, and they didn't expect this person to cause them trouble.
They were too lazy to pick him up immediately and waited until the funeral arrangements were completed before going to the police station.
Mo Mingxiu's first words to Jian Qiuhua were not words of concern or greeting, but rather, "Let's get a divorce!"
Jian Qiuhua could hardly believe her ears. Divorce? What an unfamiliar word.
"What did you say? You want a divorce? What right do you have to divorce me?"
Mo Mingxiu remained calm, saying, "You don't have to bear the 6,000 yuan debt after the divorce. Zifeng and I will earn money to pay it back in the future."
Those who wanted to make a scene hesitated.
Two days later, the Wen family received news of Mo Mingxiu and Jian Qiuhua's divorce.
Mo Yitao was only stunned for a moment, and then paid no more attention to it. Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue were even less concerned.
The couple was preparing to return to their hometown and didn't have much time to pay attention to anything else.
Lu Yuan was about to call the Changhe Brigade to ask Xu Dong and Lu Yuanchao to come and pick him up, but before he could make the call, Wen Qihang came back and told him to go to the factory to answer the phone.
"It was your brigade leader calling. He said he had something urgent to discuss with you."
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened at home?
Arriving at the machine tool factory as quickly as possible, Lu Yuan didn't wait and immediately called back.
"Hello, is this A-Yuan?"
As soon as the call connected, Lu Guoan's voice came through.
"It's me, Uncle. What's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked anxiously.
"Hey kid, how long have you been in Hangzhou? Aren't you planning to come back for the New Year?"
Hearing that the other person still had the mood to complain, Lu Yuan felt a little relieved. There must be nothing urgent, otherwise he wouldn't be in the mood to chat with him.
“Yes, Uncle, we’ve been here for two months already, so we might as well stay for another two months and go back after the New Year.” Lu Yuan teased him on purpose.
As expected, Lu Guoan became anxious upon hearing this.
"No, I'm telling you you have to come back immediately. Something terrible has happened at home. I've sent Yuanchao and Dongzi to Hangzhou to pick you up. They should arrive in the next day or two."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What major event has occurred?"
