Seeing the old man come back dejected, Yang Lanhua knew that the matter was not done. She asked anxiously, "His father, is it that the eldest brother is unwilling to help?"
"He went to work and is not at home." In front of his daughter-in-law, Han Baoguo did not mention the scolding by the old lady of the Du family. He only said that he did not see the person.
Li Peilian said, "Why don't we go to the factory to look for him? He's the big brother, and we usually don't ask him for help. This time Zhenmin has such a big problem, he can't just sit there and do nothing, right?"
She had no idea what Han Zhenmin had done wrong, and she was so anxious that she didn't care about anything else and could only try any possible means.
Li Peilian knew that Han Zhenmin and Han Zhenyu had a bad relationship, but she thought that after all, they had the same father, and even if the bones were broken, the tendons were still connected.
If the eldest brother knew that his younger brother was arrested by the police, he would not sit idly by.
Han Baoguo was severely scolded by Grandma Du and Grandpa Du. He was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he listened to his daughter-in-law's advice.
He said irritably, "The eldest brother is just a country boy, who can he know? Didn't your father go to ask around? Why don't we wait a little longer? Our Zhenmin is so honest, he will definitely not do anything illegal."
Li Peilian was scolded by her father-in-law and her temper flared up. She put on a sullen face and rode her bicycle back to the city, not bothering to pay attention to this unreasonable old man.
Seeing her daughter-in-law leave angrily, Yang Lanhua slapped her thigh anxiously and chased after her, saying, "Pei Lian, Pei Lian, how about I go with you? Let's go to the Public Security Bureau to inquire..."
"What's the point of you going there?" Li Peilian left without looking back. When she got to the city, she remembered that she forgot to ask the old woman for some money.
But now it was almost dark, and she didn't dare go back alone, so she had to wait until next time.
Li Peilian returned to the factory and went straight to her parents.
Seeing her father coming back, she stopped her bike and asked, "Dad, did you find out? Why did the police want to arrest Zhenmin?"
Father Li put the newspaper on the table with a hint of impatience in his tone.
"I asked someone I know, but the police only said they were investigating and wouldn't reveal anything else. Let's wait and see. If he hasn't done anything bad, he should be released in a couple of days. If he has, no one can save him."
Father Li was very dissatisfied with his son-in-law. A few years ago, his brother and sister-in-law came here and made a scene, causing him to lose face in the factory.
In the past few years, people with less qualifications than him have been promoted, but he is still standing still. It makes me angry just thinking about it.
If it weren't for his daughter's sake, he wouldn't even bother asking.
Li Peilian was very disappointed when she heard that she had not gotten any news. In fact, she was so anxious not because she was worried about Han Zhenmin.
She and Han Zhenmin were classmates and started dating in high school. Before they got married, their relationship was pretty good and sweet for a while.
But it’s different after marriage, I have my own family. I have to spend money on firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Not long after the marriage, Li Peilian gave birth to a child, and the expenses became even greater.
Both of them were temporary workers, earning little but spending money lavishly, so they spent more than they earned, and the couple often quarreled over money.
A few years passed in this chaos, and the little bit of affection we had was almost gone.
What Li Peilian is worried about now is that if Han Zhenmin really commits a crime, she and her daughter will definitely be implicated.
That's why she was so anxious and angry.
Father Li glanced at his daughter and said calmly, "It's no use for you to be anxious. Why don't you think about what to do in the future?"
Li Peilian thought about it and told her father about her concerns, "Dad, if he really does something bad, do you think it will affect Xiuxiu and me?"
"It depends on what the matter is. If it's not a big problem, it should be fine. If it's serious, you should divorce him and cut off all ties with him." Li Wen said.
Although Li Peilian felt a little reluctant, she had to harden her heart for herself and her daughter.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I know, Dad."
………
After Yang Lanhua found out her son was taken away by the police, she lost the mood to work and just sat there, slapping her legs and crying.
Yang Baoguo said irritably, "Stop crying. Let's go to the city tomorrow to find out what Zhenmin has done wrong."
Yang Lanhua wiped her tears and pulled him aside, saying, "Dad, why don't you go check on the boss to see if he's back? He works in the city, so he must know a few people. Let him go and help find out."
Before Han Baoguo could speak, Han Zhenhua next to him couldn't stand it anymore.
He looked at Yang Lanhua and said, "Mom, you and the eldest sister had so many quarrels. I don't know why they hate you. How could they care about the third sister's affairs? What are you thinking?"
Yang Lanhua was choked by her son's words. Yes, the eldest couple were cruel and ruthless, neither of them was a good person.
If she knew that her son Zhenmin was arrested by the police, she would definitely gloat over it. How could she possibly help?
Thinking of this, Yang Lanhua cried even louder, "My son, what on earth did you do? Why did the police arrest you?"
Han Baoguo was very impatient when he saw that she didn't know the occasion and just acted like a spoiled child.
He cursed in a low voice: "Alright, stop talking here. Are you afraid that others don't know that San'er is in trouble?"
Yang Lanhua’s crying stopped abruptly. Seeing that the people around her were looking at them intentionally or unintentionally, she quickly wiped her tears and stood up.
At this time, the team leader just announced that it was time to go off work, and everyone in the field began to pack up their tools.
Yang Lanhua and Han Baoguo threw the hoe to their son and hurried back home.
"His father, what should I do? If anything happens to Zhenmin, how will I live?"
Yang Lanhua was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She sat in the main room crying and wiping her tears.
Han Baoguo didn't know what to do either.
He is just an old farmer and the farthest place he has been to is the county town.
He just heard that his son was arrested by the police. He was so scared that his legs were shaking and he hasn't reacted yet.
Han Baoguo squatted at the entrance of the main room, smoking his pipe in silence. After a while, he said, "Tomorrow Zhenhua and I will go to the Public Security Bureau to ask what Zhenmin has done wrong. Then we will make plans."
Yang Lanhua was still crying, but she understood that this was the only way now.
………
Han Baoguo and Han Zhenhua went to the county town early the next morning.
They did not go directly to the Public Security Bureau, but went to the textile factory to find Li Peilian first.
Li Peilian thought that her father-in-law and Han Zhenyu came together, but she never expected that it was the second son Han Zhenhua who came.
She frowned, "Dad, why didn't my eldest brother come? Zhenmin got into such a big trouble, and he didn't care?"
Han Baoguo didn't want to tell his daughter-in-law about his eldest son, so he made up an excuse.
"He's not at home. He's on a business trip. Third brother's wife, did your father find out everything yesterday? What happened to the third brother?"
Li Peilian was not stupid. From the tone of her father-in-law, she knew that she could not rely on Han Zhenyu.
She looked at the two unfashionable people in front of her and said impatiently, "My dad went to ask about Zhenmin when he was taken away by the police yesterday, but the police refused to reveal what happened. Why don't you go ask again? I still have to go to work, so I won't go with you."
After Li Peilian finished speaking, she turned and went into the textile factory.
