Chapter 37: Family Scattered!



Hearing the police officer's words, Lin Li remembered what had happened in Shenzhen not long ago.

"It's our duty as good citizens to help the police catch criminals!" Lin Li smiled.

"Shenzhen sent you a commendation certificate this afternoon to thank you. I was in such a hurry this time that I forgot to bring it with me. I'll bring it over tomorrow!"

"How could I possibly accept that? You're all so busy with work. Here's what I'll do: I'll go to the police station first thing tomorrow morning, firstly to pick up the certificate, and secondly, I think I'll have to give a statement after this incident!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Comrade Lin!"

The police officer in charge breathed a sigh of relief when he heard how familiar Lin Li was with the procedures.

Many people now have a kind of inexplicable worry about the police station. They worry that they will have to spend a lot of time explaining themselves when they are asked to give a statement at the police station.

"It's getting late, so let's take this group of people back to the police station!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, officer!"

Lin Li and Lin Laosan breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing the villagers and police off!

Fortunately, we found the origins of the martial arts and medical skills!

"Go to your workplace tomorrow and ask for leave, explain the situation to your supervisor. Then come with me to the police station to give your statement."

"Okay, Mom!"

"There's still some time, let's go back and get some more sleep!"

Lin Li yawned and went back to her room, where she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow!

The next day, the mother and son went to the police station early in the morning. After giving their statements, Lin Li came out holding a red booklet.

"Mom, you're amazing! You helped the police catch so many criminals!"

As soon as they arrived at the police station today, they heard what the police officer who led the team yesterday said.

Yesterday, as soon as the group arrived at the police station, they confessed that they went to rob the Lin family because they were instigated by Lin Lao Er, who said that Lin Li had made a lot of money in Shenzhen.

But with only her and Lin Laosan at home, it was a good opportunity for them to make a fortune.

After a thorough investigation, the police discovered that Wang Daqiang, who led the robbery, was connected to a major case in a neighboring city and was also a key suspect.

The local police station has contacted the police in the neighboring city, and Lin Lao Er will probably be spending several years in prison this time.

"You go to work first, I want to wander around town a bit!"

"good!"

Just as the mother and son were about to separate, they saw the second son's wife bring the child to the police station.

Upon seeing Lin Li, she immediately knelt down: "Mom, please save my second son! If he goes to jail, my son and I won't be able to survive!"

While crying, she kept kowtowing to Lin Li, which attracted the attention of the people around her who stopped and gathered around to watch.

"Mom, please, look how young the child is, how can you bear to let him live without a father?"

The second son's wife pulled the child down to kneel, pressed his head down hard, and made him kowtow to Lin Li repeatedly.

"Don't beg me. Lin Lao Er broke the law. How to deal with him is the police's job."

Lin Li glanced at her and then prepared to leave.

"Mom, that's not how it works. If you just say it's a family matter, Lin Lao Er won't be sentenced. He's your own son. How can you be so heartless as to send him to jail?"

The second son's wife looked at the crowd around her and began to kowtow to them, pleading, "Please help me, everyone, and get my mother to drop the charges!"

Seeing her crying so miserably, with blood streaming from her forehead, people around couldn't help but try to comfort Lin Li.

"Sister, he's still your own flesh and blood, please spare the child."

"Yes! Take them back and teach them a lesson. If they go to jail, their lives will be ruined!"

"yes!"

...

When she saw the uninformed crowd around her starting to condemn her from a moral high ground, Lin Li scoffed.

"Everyone! Do you know what my own son did that led to his arrest at the police station?"

After hearing Lin Li's words, the onlookers quieted down and listened attentively as she continued.

"He brought a group of hardened criminals with murder convictions to my house in the middle of the night, armed with knives, intending to kill and rob me..."

? ? ?

The onlookers gasped in shock upon hearing Lin Li's words!

Did he lead a group of desperados to murder his mother?

"And before that, he, his wife, and this grandson all tried to hit me!"

'Hiss~~~' He even hit his own mother?

"What they called me was—that old codger!"

He even insulted his own mother? Is he even human? He's a complete beast!

So, do you think I should forgive him?

"Unforgivable! This is not human, this is an animal!"

The old man who had just been speaking up for Lin Lao Er's wife spat in her face and then left.

The onlookers also began to discuss and point at the mother and son.

The mother and son were so frightened that they fled in panic!

Watching the crowd disperse, Lin Li dusted off her clothes and began to stroll around the county town.

After visiting Shenzhen, there's not much left to see in this small county town.

Lin Li went directly to the market and bought some pork and beef before carrying the groceries home.

Lunar New Year's Eve is just a few days away, and she plans to return to Shenzhen after the third day of the Lunar New Year!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year. Lin Li and Lin Laosan packed their luggage and set off for the train station, taking the first train to Shenzhen.

Shortly after the two of them left, Lin Lao Er's wife arrived at the Lin family's door with her son in hand.

She knocked on the door forcefully, but heard no response. She then knelt down and looked at her son, saying, "You wait here for your grandma. No matter what it takes, you must make her accept you, understand?"

After saying that, she handed him the package in her hand, "Mom will watch over you from over there. I'll leave after you go inside!"

Before the child could even react, they hurriedly ran away.

"Mom, don't leave me, Mom!~~~"

The child's cries did not slow the departing figure down; instead, they ran even faster!

When the neighbor came out, he saw Lin Lao Er's son crying miserably at the door of the Lin family's house. He walked up to him, took his cold hand, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"My mom told me to come find my grandma, but she ran away!" The child cried even louder. "Last night when I got up to go to the bathroom, I heard my grandma telling my mom to leave me so she could remarry!"

The neighbor shook his head after hearing what the child said. "Your grandma took your third uncle to Shenzhen early this morning. They won't be back for at least ten days or half a month."

Seeing the child crying uncontrollably, she said, "I'll take you to the village chief's house!"

After taking the child to the village chief's house and explaining the whole story, the village chief was furious. He took the child's hand and went to Lin Lao Er's wife's house to demand an explanation.

But when he arrived at Lin Lao Er's wife's house, he was told that she had already left home and gone out to work!
