Chapter 10: Pretending to be deaf and dumb!
"I will definitely cooperate." Lin Li asked tentatively, "Then Comrade Zhou, in a case like mine and Liu Jinpeng, if he is willing to pay for my medical expenses, can I settle it privately with him?"
Zhou Qiang said forcefully: "Liu Jinpeng injured someone with a stick. His behavior is heinous. Even if he bears all the medical expenses, he cannot escape legal punishment."
Lin Li shook his head and thought for a moment, "I asked my sister-in-law to consult a lawyer. This kind of civil dispute can be big or small, with heavy or light punishments, and there is no fixed rule. Generally speaking, the case can be closed as long as the victim withdraws the lawsuit."
"This..." Zhou Qiang frowned.
Comrade Lin Li is really good at this...
He endured it again and again, and simply told Lin Li about the villagers' proposal that he should return all the relief money.
He wanted to see if Lin Li was still so confident.
Lin Li did not respond.
She had already told Zhou Qiang that although she had made a mistake, she had not really done anything wrong to Ling Xiao.
No matter what the crime is, she has to provide evidence and witnesses, and she is not afraid of investigation at all.
The two men looked at each other. Zhou Qiang's gaze was fierce, but Lin Li was not afraid at all.
After a while, Zhou Qiang realized that he had gotten into trouble.
Otherwise he should take a step back.
"If Comrade Lin feels that Liu Jinpeng's attitude is sincere enough," Zhou Qiang sighed, "and is determined not to appeal... we have no objection..."
"I have one request. You still cannot tell him that I have recovered well now. If he asks, either don't answer, or continue to speak more seriously so that he will remember it thoroughly."
"Of course." Zhou Qiang agreed readily.
"As for asking him to pay for the medical expenses, I will try to reach an agreement with my family and his family or with him within ten days."
"What if we can't reach an agreement in ten days?"
"I will tell you, Comrade Zhou, in advance when the time comes." Lin Li said sincerely, "Comrade Zhou has already heard his one-sided story, and now it's time for him to listen to mine... I will tell you the whole story of Liu Jinpeng breaking into my home and maliciously hurting me... Comrade Zhou can also make a record."
Zhou Qiang nodded: "Comrade Lin is very thoughtful."
He had just thought of these things when Lin Li brought them up, and he thought it was a coincidence.
So Lin Li seriously talked about the situation of the Liu family and the conflicts that arose between the two families.
Of course, at the end, she once again sincerely mentioned her mistakes and said that she would work hard to correct them in the future.
"Comrade Lin is truly a good comrade who is able to correct his mistakes as soon as he realizes them." Zhou Qiang raised his thumb. He had completely changed his opinion of Lin Li.
This girl is very clear in what she says and does, and she is full of sincerity.
Most people would not be as frank as she is. She described her own mistakes in different languages, which is enough to represent her sincerity.
She is young and just made a mistake, not a crime. As long as she admits her mistakes and corrects them, she is a good comrade.
I am afraid of those who make mistakes but refuse to admit them and even try to put the blame on others.
Therefore, Zhou Qiang, who is used to following procedures on weekdays, decided to pay more attention to this matter.
He said: "This time I am conducting an undercover investigation, and tomorrow I will conduct another serious investigation as a police officer. If Liu Gang and his wife really favor sons over daughters to such an extent and always abuse Liu Jinduo, they must be subject to strict ideological education. And their lion asked for a sky-high bride price, which is also unacceptable."
"Thank you, Comrade Zhou." Lin Li thanked him politely.
He added, "Nowadays, free love is advocated, and parents have no right to interfere with young people's freedom of marriage."
"Yes." Zhou Qiang gave him an approving look.
Lin Li continued, "If Liu Jinduo's parents insist on staying in the old society and want to sell their daughter for money, then my family can also give them the sky-high betrothal gift they want, but the premise is..."
"Don't give it to me. As long as Comrade Liu Jinduo is willing to marry Lin Fu, I will come forward to solve this matter." Zhou Qiang said angrily, "Now is a new era. This kind of ignorant thinking must be eradicated."
"Comrade Zhou, although that's what you said," Lin Li said with a sad face, "given their greed, they will definitely harass Comrade Liu Jinduo endlessly in the future. So I think it's better to satisfy their demand for money at once. And our family will no longer recognize them as relatives in the future."
"you mean……"
"I want them to sever their family ties with their daughter from now on." Lin Li's every word was precious.
"I'm afraid..." Zhou Qiang looked embarrassed.
Well, this girl is pushing her limits again.
Lin Li added: "I am just telling you about my next plan. How can I let you participate in such a plan?"
"Oh..." Zhou Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"My family should talk to his family privately. If we can reach an agreement, that's it. If we can't, we can think of other ways." Lin Li said a lot, not wanting to cause trouble for Zhou Qiang.
The lawyer has already written the contract, and all that’s left is for Liu Gang and his family to sign it.
Lin Li was 70% sure that he could convince Liu Gang's family.
Zhou Qiang stood up, meaning he wanted to wrap up this topic:
"That's settled. If there really are serious ignorant ideas in their family, I will criticize them severely and order them to correct them."
"Thank you so much, Comrade Zhou. On behalf of my whole family, I would like to thank you. On behalf of our village committee, I would also like to thank you for your willingness to help us spread the new ideas in the village." Lin Li bowed solemnly.
When bowing, Lin Li covered the wound on his head because he was afraid that such a large movement would cause bleeding and pain.
"Then let us work together and use this incident to improve the civilization and harmony of your village." Zhou Qiang stretched out his hand.
Lin Li also stretched out his hands generously.
She wanted to shake Zhou Qiang's hand to show enough respect.
But looking at the blood on her hand, which was caused by covering the wound just now, she retracted her hand.
Although Zhou Qiang still dislikes Lin Li because of her mental infidelity, he also admires her for her frankness.
At this moment, seeing the blood on Lin Li's hands and the blood oozing from her forehead, Zhou Qiang panicked.
He insisted on taking Lin Li to the infirmary, but Lin Li insisted on returning to the hospital.
He thought about it and decided it was a good idea, so he asked someone to drive a jeep to take Lin Li and Lin Rong back to the hospital.
…
Early the next morning.
Lin Li told his eldest brother Lin Rong to let him and his eldest sister-in-law go home.
"Brother, you don't have to come back after you and my sister-in-law go back. Go and do the work in the fields. My second brother and I can handle the hospital's work."
"Hey... sister, let your sister-in-law and I stay here for a few more days. I will go back to do the housework when I have time, and come back early after finishing the work." Lin Rong was reluctant to leave.
He muttered, "It's a rare opportunity to come to the commune. Here we have fried fish noodles, tofu pudding, and so many barbecues. We don't have them at the big market there..."
As he spoke, he squeezed the pickled vegetables into a disposable lunch box, which was more convenient than packaging them in small bags.
"Hey, dad, look at yourself, why are you even greedier than Xiaofei?" Su Xiangqiao sneered.
"Don't tell me you don't like it!" Lin Rong rolled his eyes, and then he asked Lin Li, "Sister, tell me, do fish noodles and tofu pudding taste good?"
Then he called out Lin Hua, whose presence had been reduced, "Lin Hua, you are a great writer in our family, and you never indulge in greed. Tell me, do you like to eat fish noodles and tofu pudding?"
Lin Hua pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even picked up the noodles and sat down in front of Ling Xiao's bed.
