"Lin Yao, Grandma has come to see you!"
After hearing Lin Hu's words, Lin Yao turned around and saw Lin Li behind him. He wanted to run to her side, but then suddenly stopped.
He stood there with his head down.
Instantly, tears began to fall onto her clothes.
Lin Li looked at Lin Yao, who was wearing clothes that were a size too small, with patches sewn onto his clothes and pants.
My heart ached, so I quickened my pace, walked to his side, and hugged his small body into my arms.
"Good child, you've suffered!"
Hearing Lin Li's words and feeling the warmth in her arms, all the grievances and pain he had suffered during this time surged into his heart.
She burst into tears!
Lin Hu was also wiping away tears.
Hearing the children crying, Lin Li's eyes turned red, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
She pulled Lin Hu over, hugged him, and gently comforted him with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, Grandma's here! Don't be sad, Grandma's here!"
After a while, Lin Yao and Lin Hu gradually stopped crying with her comforting words.
The two children lifted their heads from her arms, their noses red and their eyes shining as they called out to her.
"grandmother!"
"Eh~~~"
Hearing the soft, childlike voice, Lin Li answered loudly once more.
They took one in each hand and walked towards the village committee.
"Let's go, let's go to the village committee first!"
The two little ones wiped away their tears and smiled sweetly.
Grandma's hands are warm and safe!
With her two children in tow, Lin Li returned to the village committee.
The village chief, who was arranging work in his office, stood up in surprise when he saw Lin Li and looked at her.
"Aunt Lin?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Lin Li walked up to the village chief with a serious expression, looked at the village committee cadres around her who seemed to want to leave but didn't want to, and spoke directly.
"Since everyone is here today, I would like to discuss one thing with the village chief and all of you."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hesitant steps immediately straightened, and they stood firmly in the office.
Village Chief: What's going on now?
The village officials: It's like we can smell the gossip again.
Lin Li took out a few apples and snacks from her pocket and gave them to her two grandsons.
Let Lin Hu take Lin Yao to play on the side.
After watching the two little ones walk into the office, he spoke up apologetically.
"I'm so sorry to cause everyone trouble again!"
Everyone: ...It's okay, we're all listening!
"I only found out today that Lin the eldest and his wife went to work elsewhere, leaving their five-year-old child alone at home..."
Lin Li took a deep breath.
What kind of beasts did the original owner raise?
"It is said that they asked their neighbors to take care of them, promising to give them 100 yuan a month as a care fee."
The village officials who knew about the matter all nodded in agreement.
Yes! They know about this.
"But I heard that they haven't paid the caregiver for two months. The neighbor gave the child a meal out of consideration for me."
The village chief glanced at the officials in the office.
Those who knew about this nodded.
Those who didn't know about this shook their heads.
Lin Li ignored their thoughts and expressions and continued speaking.
"I've come here today for two reasons. First, I need the village chief and everyone else to be my witnesses. I'm taking Lin Yao away, but I need everyone to write a statement saying that Lin Lao Da (Lin Yao's father) didn't raise his own mother or his own son, and failed to fulfill his parental obligations. So, Lin Yao can also be left without support in the future."
The village chief and village officials all nodded in agreement.
Reasonable!
"Secondly, I want to tell everyone in the village that Lin Laoda has nothing to do with me, Lin Li. Don't agree to anything he asks for my sake."
Lin Li's expression was unusually serious. This matter must be stopped, otherwise, there would be endless troubles later.
“I will pay for Lin Yao’s care this time. But this is to thank him for taking care of Lin Yao for free these past two months. If anyone helps Lin Yao out of my name in the future, I’m sorry, I won’t acknowledge it.”
Seeing Lin Li's face flushed with anger and her hands clenched tightly, the village chief nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry about it, I will definitely pass on the notification."
Everyone in the village committee chimed in, saying they would definitely pass the message on.
After the matter was explained clearly, Lin Li finally smiled.
"Thank you everyone. Could you please write a statement? I'll take it to the police station to file it in a bit. Boss Lin left a five-year-old child alone at home, which is a crime of abandonment, and he could go to jail."
Village chief: Is she really my biological mother?
Seeing the paper and pen handed over by the village officials, the village chief took out a fountain pen from his shirt pocket and quickly wrote three certificates.
After clearly stamping it with the village committee's seal, it was handed to Lin Li.
Lin Li took the newly issued certificate, took out 200 yuan from her bag, and handed it to the village chief.
"Please ask the village chief to pass on the message to the neighbor who is taking care of Lin Yao. I need to take the children to the police station now."
The two little ones, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, jumped and skipped happily in the corridor after hearing Lin Li's words.
That's great! They can all stay with Grandma now!
Lin Li walked out of the office and looked at the two little ones dancing around outside. The tense lines under her jaw finally relaxed.
"Let's go, we still need to go to the town's police station."
Lin Yao is only five years old and not yet tall enough to buy a train ticket (he's 1 meter tall), so he doesn't need to go to the train ticket office to buy a supplementary ticket.
This greatly relieved Lin Li.
