Chapter 302: Stopgap Measures
"No! Uncle Li, isn't it just a change of surname? You are a son-in-law who married into the family, so the children you give birth to should have the surname Lu. I beg you, let them change their surnames!"
When Zhou Changjiang's mother heard Zhou Zixu's words, she immediately panicked and grabbed Li Laogen, forcing him to agree to Li Sihui's request.
"Change your surname, or let me go, your choice!"
Seeing that Li Laogen was still retreating, Liu Jingyun went over and kicked him, his face turning very ugly.
Zhao Yuying was scared. If this matter really went to the county, she would not be able to escape. The thought of going to jail made her face turn pale with fear.
He glared at Li Lannie resentfully. His original intention was to ruin Li Sihui's reputation and pair her up with Zhou Changjiang. Then he could pursue Zhou Zixu.
Who knew they would make such a big fuss?
It would have been better if Zhou Zixu hadn't come. Her father is the head of the village and he would always find a way to suppress the matter.
Now Zhou Zixu doesn't listen to her father at all. Seeing that things are about to get out of hand, Li Sihui throws her an olive branch. She doesn't want to lose her only hope, otherwise all of them will sink.
"Uncle, even if they change their surnames, aren't they still your children? Look at how pitiful Aunt Zhou is, and Li Guozhu, can you bear to have him arrested?"
He came over and pretended to be kind, and gave Li Laogen earnest advice. In his heart, he hated him for being old-fashioned, but it was just a temporary measure. Why was he holding on here?
Li Sihui narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Yuying. Why was she so enthusiastic about this matter? Could it be her business too?
Oh yeah...
Aunt Liu didn't see it at first, but she deliberately let Aunt Liu see Zhou Changjiang and Li Guozhu taking Jianguo away. Knowing that Aunt Liu was a kind-hearted person and would definitely not stand by and watch, she came to tell herself that even if something really happened, it had nothing to do with her.
Zhou Zixu also looked at Zhao Yuying with suspicion. He also thought of what Li Sihui suspected.
"Wait, I think it's better to hand this matter over to the Public Security Bureau. This is not just a simple matter of threatening someone."
Zhou Zixu waved his hand, grabbed Zhou Changjiang, and went to catch Li Guozhu, but the boy ran so fast that he disappeared.
But since there is one person here, we can get the details out during the first trial, so there is no need to rush.
"Walk."
He grabbed Zhou Changjiang by the collar and walked away. The villagers surrounded him. The simple villagers couldn't bear to watch Zhou Changjiang being taken away, mainly because his mother cried so pitifully. Zhou Bashi was popular in the village, and some of them were relatives of his, so they couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Comrade Zhou, please be merciful. Village issues should be resolved by the village. We all guarantee that Zhou Changjiang will never cause trouble for the Li siblings again."
"Yes, Sihui, we all live in the same village. Killing someone is not right. I have compensated you, so just give in!"
"Li Laogen, you are a son-in-law who married into the family. Hurry up and agree to change your surname. Otherwise, if Zhou Changjiang is taken away, you will also have to get out of Kaoshantun."
The villagers were making a lot of noise, and some of them specifically stopped Zhou Zixu and begged him to let Zhou Changjiang go.
Some people went specifically to find Li Laogen to scare him. In short, more than half of the people in the village helped the Zhou family and prevented Zhou Zixu from taking people away.
Zhou Zixu frowned. The law does not punish the masses. Other civilians have not made any mistakes, so he cannot just beat anyone he catches. After all, he is a soldier, and he must be subject to certain disciplines.
"Get out of the way, or you'll be harboring someone."
He threatened loudly, but the villagers had no idea what sheltering meant and kept stopping them from leaving.
"Okay, I agree, just let them go! Sihui, remember, even if you change your last name, I am still your father."
Li Laogen was forced into a corner and could only nod and agree. He looked at Li Sihui as if she were his enemy and hated her again. Why didn't she hang herself?
