After listening to the police's analysis of the pros and cons, Liang's mother became a little scared.
She is old and doesn't want to be involved in a lawsuit.
I am even more worried that this matter will affect my sons' work and future.
But she was too embarrassed to reconcile and could only wink at her daughter Liang Xiling.
Liang Xiling quickly spoke up for Liang's mother, "Police comrade, we don't want to cause you any trouble, we are willing to reconcile."
Seeing that the mother and daughter had relaxed, the police went to work on Shen Hongmei and Zhao Dafa.
"I listen to her."
Zhao Dafa's attitude once again made Shen Hongmei feel warm.
This time she was determined to teach the Liang family a lesson.
He really thinks she is a soft persimmon and can squeeze her however he wants.
"I won't reconcile!"
The police tried to persuade her for a long time, but seeing that Shen Hongmei was determined, they had to handle the matter impartially and took everyone back to the police station.
A police car can only seat three people, but fortunately Zhao Dafa has his own car.
The police took the Liang mother and daughter away first, and asked Zhao Dafa to drive to the station by himself.
While Shen Hongmei was packing her things, Zhao Dafa whispered a few words to the restaurant manager, and then took Shen Hongmei to the police station.
In the police car.
Two policemen sat in the front row, chatting about this and that.
Under normal circumstances, Liang's mother would definitely join in the conversation.
She was half buried in the ground, and it was her first time dealing with the police, which made her very nervous.
"Xi Ling, what should we do now? We won't be locked up, right?"
Liang Xiling was also very panicked.
This was the first time she had been to a police station in her life.
“I don’t think so.”
"You ask them." Liang's mother nodded at the two police officers in the front row.
Liang Xiling had to muster up the courage to ask the two policemen about her and her mother's concerns.
The police officer sitting in the passenger seat replied through the rearview mirror, "Your fight is nothing, just an ordinary dispute, but now people are suing you for defamation and infringing on their reputation. This is a criminal offense. Apologizing is a small matter, but you may end up in jail."
Liang's mother was stunned.
Why did she go to jail for just gossiping a few times? "Auntie, this is not just a few gossips. You said such rude things about a nice girl. If it was your daughter, you wouldn't just let it go."
"I wasn't wrong!"
Seeing that she still didn't repent even when she was about to die, the police didn't bother to say anything more.
After all, Liang's mother's life or death has nothing to do with them.
…
In the Santana car.
Zhao Dafa was driving behind the police car when he suddenly saw Shen Hongmei wiping tears from the passenger seat. He quickly pulled the car over and turned around to comfort her.
"Don't be angry, don't worry, I will help you find the best lawyer and will definitely help you get justice."
"I'm not angry at what they said about me."
Shen Hongmei wiped her tears and took out the sweater from the paper bag under Zhao Dafa's puzzled look.
He choked up and said, "They stepped on it and made it dirty."
Looking at the footprints on his sweater, Zhao Dafa didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"It's not a big deal. Once this is settled, I'll go with you to buy a new one."
Shen Hongmei's eyes turned even redder, and she muttered softly, "I didn't buy it, I knitted it for you."
Zhao Dafa was stunned and looked at the sweater in her hand for a long time before he reacted.
"For me?"
"Um."
Zhao Dafa took the sweater with some surprise, shook it open, looked at it and asked, "Did you knit it yourself?"
"Um."
Hearing her answer, Zhao Dafa became even happier and tried to put the sweater on himself.
It still wasn't enough, so he took off his coat and tried it on.
"fine."
After saying that, he put his coat into Shen Hongmei's arms, picked up the hem of the sweater and put it on his head.
Holding the suit jacket with body temperature and tobacco smell, Shen Hongmei's heart was pounding.
"It's not too big or too small, just the right size for me. The weaving is also very good. You can't tell that you knitted it yourself. You have quite a skillful hand."
"My craftsmanship is average, so I can just wear it."
Shen Hongmei was modest in words, but she felt sweet in her heart.
"When did you weave it?"
Zhao Dafa lowered the mirror on the light-blocking board and asked while adjusting his collar in front of the mirror.
"I just knit a little when I have free time."
In fact, she stayed up until midnight every night and worked hard for nearly half a month to finish weaving it, so that she could give it to Zhao Dafa before winter.

Zhao Dafa folded the sweater neatly and put it on the back seat. He held hers with his warm hands, and said with emotion:
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but besides my mom, you're the first woman to knit a sweater for me."
“I am very happy and touched.”
"Thank you for your hard work, my silly girl."
As wise as Zhao Dafa was, how could he not know that Shen Hongmei gave him this sweater, largely for the 50,000 yuan.
But even so, he was happy.
Shen Hongmei blushed because of Zhao Dafa's casual remark "silly girl".
She suddenly remembered something Shen Mingzhu had said to her in the past.
There is no wasted journey in life, every step counts.
If it weren't for Ma Chao, she wouldn't have mastered the skill of knitting sweaters.
And it just so happens that this craft is appreciated and liked by the man I like now.
“Puff——”
Suddenly, he heard her laugh, and Zhao Dafa also laughed, "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Hongmei pressed the corners of her mouth and said, "I remember you scolded the Liang family for being thick-skinned in the restaurant. I didn't realize that a grown man like you would scold like a woman."
"That's nothing. When I encounter difficult clients, I curse them even more harshly behind their backs."
Shen Hongmei was curious, "What are you guys scolding?"
Zhao Dafa thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it, I can't lead your little girl astray."
Shen Hongmei's face turned even redder. "I'm not a little girl anymore."
"In my eyes, you are just a little girl."
"You make it sound like you're so old."
Zhao Dafa smiled and looked at her, "Thank you for not thinking I'm old."
Shen Hongmei's smile faded a little, "I should thank you. Thank you for your righteous words and your protection."
Zhao Dafa swung the steering wheel and parked the car steadily in front of the police station. Then he turned around and said to her: "If you can't even protect your woman when you are out, you are not worthy of being a man."
Shen Hongmei could clearly hear her heartbeat.
Plop. Plop.
Intense and hot.
Shen Mingzhu once asked her if she would regret it if she missed a man like Zhao Dafa.
Her answer now is: Yes! …
It was already 8 o'clock when we finished taking the statement.
Looking at the sky which had already darkened, Liang's mother couldn't help but miss home.
She didn't rush back to cook dinner, so she didn't know whether the whole family had eaten.
"Comrade police, when can we leave?"
The police officer looked at the mother and daughter and said, "You are in trouble this time. They have made it clear that they are going to sue you for defamation."
Hearing this, both mother and daughter changed their expressions.
"Comrade Public Security, we, we didn't do anything, we just had a few arguments, the worst that can happen is I can apologize to her."
Seeing that Shen Hongmei was serious, Liang's mother had no choice but to give in. (End of this chapter)
