Chapter 104: Stupid, false witness
She was so scared that she sat on the ground and held the policeman's arm. Her legs were shaking so much that she couldn't stand up. "Gunshots, gunshots."
"That was the sound of gunfire. Did you shoot my Yiping to death?"
Old Mrs. Luo seemed to be crazy, slapping the young policeman's arm, "My Yiping is innocent, he is innocent."
The young policeman didn't say anything. Everyone who came to the police station said that they were wronged. But whether it was a real or false injustice would only be known after the truth came out.
"I heard gunshots. Did you shoot my Yiping to death?" Old Mrs. Luo cried and insisted that the police had shot Luo Yiping to death.
The young policeman almost couldn't handle it himself, but fortunately someone came to help and explained to Mrs. Luo that it was not a real gun, but an air gun that everyone used for training, and the sound was slightly similar.
Old Mrs. Luo was half-believing and half-doubting, and the police had no choice but to let Old Mrs. Luo take a look at the man from a distance before sending him away.
After the people left, several policemen looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes. They would rather catch traffickers and thieves than to bother with these matters. If some old ladies started making trouble, there would be no way to end it.
When Mrs. Luo saw that her son was not wronged in the police station, she was relieved and pulled Zhao Jiayun to the village. The police said that this matter was very serious.
If no one can prove his innocence, Luo Yiping will be held responsible for the crime. In serious cases, he will be shot. However, if someone can prove his innocence, he will only have to serve a few years in prison.
Once a person is in jail, his life is ruined, and the Luo family will not be able to hold their heads up in Changxing Village. Although Old Mrs. Luo was smart all her life, she came up with a stupid idea.
Let Zhao Jiayun testify to prove that Luo Yiping is innocent. Old Mrs. Luo held Zhao Jiayun's hand tightly, and looked at her with triangular eyes and drooping eyebrows, "Go and tell her that it was you who introduced this job to Yiping. Go."
Zhao Jiayun smiled bitterly, "I told him not to go, but he insisted on going. Now it's his own fault if he goes in."
Old Lady Luo beat up Zhao Jiayun in front of everyone in the county town. Zhao Jiayun was also a person with a bad temper. Since Luo Yiping was also a incompetent person, she would not serve him anymore.
"Okay, you beat me. If Luo Yiping goes to jail, I will divorce him. Are you satisfied now?"
Zhao Jiayun looked crazy. She had long regretted being with Luo Yiping. Now that he was in jail, she even wished that Luo Yiping would be shot.
In this way, I can leave the Luo family and leave this place of trouble.
After learning that the man was Chu Sangning's father, Zhao Jiayun's mentality completely collapsed. She couldn't imagine why this was the case.
Old Mrs. Luo tried everything to get Zhao Jiayun to give in, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have aged ten years. He was not young to begin with, and now his back was hunched.
She suddenly thought of the Jiang family. Jiang Xingyan from the Jiang family was a member of the army, and Lin Xiuzhi was also a member of the army. As long as Lin Xiuzhi was willing to come out to testify, her son would definitely be fine.
Old Mrs. Luo, who was anxious to save her son, did not care about anything else and hurried back to Changxing Village. It was already evening by then, and white smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household. Everyone was cooking at home.
The Jiang family is no exception. When Sang Ning's father comes, Lin Xiuzhi shows off her skills and makes a delicious meal by herself to make everyone in the family smarter and more considerate.
Lin Xiuzhi cooked and Pan Wenlan helped to light the fire. The men in the family were not idle either. They talked and drank with Zhou Yongzhuo and Chu Yuanlin. In the winter, drinking some homemade grain wine can keep you warm.
It was at this time that Old Mrs. Luo came. She walked unsteadily, knocked on the door of the Jiang family, and walked straight to the kitchen where Lin Xiuzhi was.
Pan Wenlan couldn't catch up with her from behind, "Aunt Luo, what can I do for you?"
Old Mrs. Luo turned a blind eye. When she saw Lin Xiuzhi, she acted as if she had seen her savior. She stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xiuzhi's arm. Before she said a word, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Jiang family, my Yiping has been arrested, please help me to testify."
The spatula in Lin Xiuzhi's hand almost fell into the hot oil pan. She was frying meatballs in her own pan and they were about to get burnt. There was also a clingy old lady named Luo around her, so she had no choice but to urge everyone to go out and wait.
"Let me talk about it later. Let me take out this pot of meatballs first."
Pan Wenlan took the spatula from her mother-in-law and continued to cook. After Lin Xiuzhi learned about this from Old Lady Luo, she became a little angry.
"How can there be such a thing as a free lunch? They are young and confused, and you have lived for a long time, why are you confused too?"
Lin Xiuzhi didn't feel sorry for Luo Yiping, but she felt that Luo Yiping, a bad scoundrel, would ruin the entire Changxing Village. If Luo Yiping really went to jail, the reputation of Changxing Village would also be ruined.
The young boys below can't find wives from other villages, and the virgin girls in the village can't get married. From now on, all the blame will be on the Luo family.
Old Mrs. Luo also regretted it and cried bitterly, "I was just too carried away. We are from the same village. Please help me. You have watched Yiping grow up. He would never do such a thing."
She raised her son alone and knew what kind of person he was. He was honest and kind-hearted, and there was no way he would do something like selling drugs for others.
Old Mrs. Luo reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions. Lin Xiuzhi was also Luo Yiping's elder and knew what kind of person he was. She hesitated again and again, "I'll ask for you, but I absolutely cannot testify for you. After all, I won't lie."
With Lin Xiuzhi's assurance, Old Lady Luo somehow breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together and bowed in gratitude: "Okay, OK, your son Xingyan is a promising man, you educated him well, I'll trouble you with Yiping's matter."
After Mrs. Luo left, Lin Xiuzhi told her family about the incident. Pan Wenlan asked, "Mom, do you really want to take care of this?"
Lin Xiuzhi's face was full of helplessness. "I don't want to care, but I have to think about Pan'an's future."
They didn't care. There were still many children in Changxing Village. If their reputation was affected by Luo Yiping's affairs, it would be no small matter.
"I won't go by myself. I'm not stupid." Seeing the worried look in her daughter-in-law's eyes, Lin Xiuzhi suddenly smiled and said, "I'll ask your father to go to the captain's house and ask what's going on."
Zhou Yongzhuo and Chu Yuanlin encountered this kind of thing when they came here for the first time. Lin Xiuzhi was afraid that they would think too much, so when no one was around, she said embarrassedly: "My dear relatives, I'm sorry to make you laugh this time."
"It's okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, we just came over to take a look." Chu Yuanlin replied nonchalantly.
