The next day, Li Hanting took his father-in-law to the police station. At first, the police didn't take the rural farce seriously, but after learning Li Hanting's identity, their attitude immediately changed completely, and even the station chief came running over eagerly.
"So it's Commander Li! I was mistaken. Please forgive me, you are a magnanimous person."
After Director Wang bowed and apologized, fearing that Li Hanting was still not satisfied, he turned around and gave the group of henchmen a thorough scolding.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings, you don't even recognize Commander Li anymore? Hurry up and come over and apologize."
The last time Commander Li came to the countryside, it was this group of men who received him.
I had heard years ago that the Li family was powerful and influential, and that no one in the city dared to offend them, let alone a small-time police chief like him from the mountains.
I never expected that Li Hanting would be the son-in-law of this rural village chief. Could it be that Su Xiang's daughter is as beautiful as an angel?
The police officers behind them looked at each other and bowed deeply in apology, "Commander Li, we are sorry, we were blind to your greatness."
Li Hanting's face turned cold; he had always despised flattery.
He said to Director Wang, "No need for special treatment, handle this matter officially." His words carried a chilling undertone.
The other party had a cold and stern expression; he was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Director Wang nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes, we'll go to Linjiazhuang now."
Su Xiang stood silently to the side, only realizing the importance of power when he came out into the vast world.
Even just standing there, the son-in-law exudes an aura of authority that commands respect without a hint of anger.
No wonder he came from the military; he exudes a menacing aura.
Everyone knows that Director Wang is treacherous and cunning, always driven by self-interest, and is by no means a good official who serves the people.
If his son-in-law hadn't been there today, the police wouldn't have given him any face.
In the afternoon, Director Wang came over with a fawning expression to inform them that Lin Daniu had been detained and that if they wanted to pursue the matter further, Lin Daniu would have to serve at least three years in prison.
After all, in the 1980s, injuring someone was a serious crime.
At this moment, a brightly lit brick house was thrown into chaos.
Granny Lin was lying on the ground, almost rolling around on the ground.
"Good heavens, my Da Niu has done nothing wrong, why call the police to arrest him?"
There wasn't a single tear on his wrinkled face.
"The Su family is going too far." He cursed, "Pah! They're utterly despicable."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family cried so hard that she was heartbroken, and it seemed that some of her grief was genuine.
"Mom, what will we do if Da Niu goes to jail?"
Then her two sons also started crying.
Granny Lin gasped, nearly having her back broken by the fat woman's weight.
"You filthy slut, are you trying to crush me to death?"
The remaining sons and daughters-in-law of the Lin family stood coldly to the side, showing no intention of offering any comfort.
In the Lin family, only the eldest son's family was favored; the other sons were just there to play a supporting role, working tirelessly like old oxen.
Lin Erniu was honest and kind. Just as he was about to help Granny Lin up, his wife grabbed his sleeve.
The second branch of the Lin family was full of maids, and the parents-in-law had long disliked them. The second daughter-in-law of the Lin family had been wasted away and looked like a forty-year-old woman. She wished that Lin Daniu would die outside, so that the Lin family would be rid of a troublemaker.
The sound of crying continued in the courtyard, while a group of people watched a play by the wall.
Lin Wang's face turned bright red; he had never been so humiliated before.
He roared, "Stop crying! What kind of behavior is this?"
The courtyard fell silent instantly; even the children's cries stopped.
The next second, Granny Lin got up on her own. "Old man, you have to find a way to save our Da Niu. We absolutely can't let him go to jail."
Da Niu was Lin Wang's lifeblood, and he wanted to see what the Su family was capable of to put Da Niu in jail.
In his view, if Su Dashan loses some blood, he can just pay some money at most. Anyway, the Su family is small and has no ability to compete with the Lin family.
"Let's go to the Su family to find them."
At Lin Wang's command, the Lin family's children dared not disobey, for they had witnessed their father-in-law's treachery firsthand.
The Lin family, with more than twenty members in total, marched in a large group to the neighboring Su family village, making a great show of force as if they were going to fight.
When the people of Sujiazhuang heard the news, they couldn't stand it any longer, and they all grabbed their hoes and blocked the entrance to the village.
Since the village chief is not home, they must safeguard the safety of Sujiazhuang and prevent the people of Linjiazhuang from bullying them.
When Lin Wang's family saw the rows of men, women, and children with fierce expressions at the village entrance, their spirits immediately plummeted.
Lin Siniu, that simpleton, took a step back, and before he could even pull his wife along, he exclaimed, "My goodness, is this going to be a fight?"
Granny Lin slapped Lin Siniu on the head, and a "smack" was heard. "What are you saying? Your parents are right here."
After beating his fourth son, he then glared fiercely at his fourth daughter-in-law.
That slut only knows how to dress up all day long, bewitching her fourth daughter.
Lin's fourth daughter-in-law's eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact with her mother-in-law. After all, the old woman was just a paper tiger; a glare from her wouldn't hurt her at all.
Granny Lin knew that now was not the time for infighting, so she had no choice but to let the prostitute off the hook for the time being.
He whispered in Lin Wang's ear, "Old man, what should we do?"
Although her family had many members, it couldn't compare to the population of an entire village.
Lin Wang never expected the people of Sujiazhuang to be so united; it was a real slap in the face for him.
After quickly thinking for a moment with a furrowed brow, Da Niu had already been arrested, and his family absolutely could not afford to fight again.
Today's main task is to find out news about the Su family.
"Listen, no one is allowed to act impulsively later, or I'll beat you up when I get back."
His eagle eyes swept over the family, and he was quite satisfied with their frightened expressions.
When they turned around to face the people from Sujiazhuang, they showed a completely different face.
With a fake smile on his face, he said, "Don't misunderstand, everyone. I'm also heartbroken that my Da Niu broke Da Shan's head, so we're here today to check on Da Shan's injury. How is he now?"
The plump aunt spat, "Hypocritical! Your Da Niu is too heartless. Da Shan is still in the hospital. Your family should go to the county hospital instead of coming here to cry like crocodiles and feign compassion."
Another concerned aunt said indignantly, "Da Niu was arrested by the police this morning, and your Lin family can't sit still now, can they?"
As soon as the news came out, the people of Sujiazhuang were buzzing with excitement, their faces beaming with joy.
"I think Lin Daniu should be executed."
Someone in the crowd echoed this statement.
Granny Lin almost choked on her breath.
"You...you actually cursed my son! I'll fight you to the death!"
Lin Wang quickly pulled her back, "Isn't it chaotic enough already?"
A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. "If you cause me any trouble, I'll divorce you immediately."
Granny Lin turned pale with fright and stood there stunned.
