The old woman was afraid that she would really be arrested by the police soon, after all, she was the one who asked for twenty yuan.
She held the pregnant woman's arm and gave her instructions.
"When you see the police, just say that you did all of this. Anyway, you stole the stuff, and it doesn't matter if you add extortion as a charge."
I'm different; I'm too old to take any more risks.
Besides, they wouldn't dare do anything to you since you're heavily pregnant. Do you understand?
The pregnant woman found it unbelievable. Just now, it was clearly her mother-in-law who was holding onto the middle-aged woman and wouldn't let go. How come it's all her fault now?
"Mom, I'm about to give birth. What if they arrest me and put me in jail? Am I going to have to give birth in jail?"
It's so pitiful that the baby can't stay with his mother right after birth. Why don't you go? Just say you stole the watch.
"You're old, they wouldn't dare do anything to you."
The two women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, kept passing the buck, neither willing to admit they were wrong.
But the police can't wait.
"It's the two of you, right? Come with us."
Lin Han stepped forward to identify the suspect.
"Officer, it's those two. The younger one steals, and the older one extorts money. Don't let either of them get away with it."
The pregnant woman and the old woman both looked at Lin Han.
"You heartless bastard, are you trying to kill us?"
Lin Han ignored them and sat down in her seat. The two people were taken away by the police.
This time, Li Qiao was smarter and stayed on the upper bunk, afraid that she would be harassed by this family of debt collectors again.
Seeing that the family had been taken away by the police, she breathed a sigh of relief and climbed down from the upper bunk back to her original small bunk.
She had barely sat down when she expressed her dissatisfaction with Lin Han.
"Young man, I'm telling you, you're being a bit too unreasonable. She's heavily pregnant, so even if she stole something, you can't call the police at the station."
The train police will handle it. Your actions have forced the entire family of three to get off the train, disrupting their journey.
Lin Han was speechless. How could Li Qiao be so annoying? She likes to play the saint so much, so why didn't she stand up for the pregnant woman and take the blame just now?
"Are you done talking? If not, shut up. Why didn't you say anything earlier, you're such a busybody?"
You've been chattering away all the way, standing up for that pregnant woman. You're not one of them, are you?
Did you instruct that woman to steal that watch?
Oh dear, the police forgot to take you with them when they came. Do you need me to call the police again for you?
Li Qiao was startled.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be with them? I didn't even know them before, okay?"
I'm going to report to the Kyoto Military District. I'm a soldier, how could I go back to steal?
What does their theft have to do with me?
Lin Han scoffed, "So what if I call the police? What's it to you?"
Li Qiao, having lost her temper and knowing she couldn't win an argument with Lin Han, simply shut up.
After the theft incident, Li Qiao calmed down considerably, allowing Lin Han to spend the rest of the journey in peace.
