"Where did all our belongings go? Who emptied our house?" Li Bowen shouted angrily as he stood in the yard.
His loud voice startled the neighbors. Grandma Zhang and Liu Chunmei were coming with their family to take back the house. Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhang said, "It was Yueyue who sold everything."
Li Bowen was shocked, "How dare Li Xiyue sell things from the house?"
“Yes, how could she do such a thing?” Wang Huilan said with a wronged expression. “Bowen, I told you she stole the money, do you believe me now?”
Grandma Zhang glared at them, "This house belongs to Yueyue, why can't she sell the things inside?"
"That's right, Yueyue not only sold her things, but also sold the house to my family." After saying that, Liu Chunmei asked her older brother and sister-in-law to change the locks on all the doors.
"Why are you locking up? This is my house!" Wang Huilan went over to stop them.
"What do you mean 'your house'? This house has been sold to us." Liu Daqiang shoved Wang Huilan aside and locked the main room with a click.
Li Bowen and Wang Huilan were struck dumb; their house had also been sold by Li Xiyue.
“This house belongs to my son, who dares to sell it?” Wang Huilan was unwilling to give up and lunged forward to grab the keys.
Li Mingliang also said, "Yes, the house is mine. How dare Li Xiyue sell my house?"
"That bitch, is she trying to make our whole family homeless?" Li Muqing gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Li Xiyue apart.
Wang Huilan sat on the ground, crying and cursing, "That bitch Li Xiyue, she'd rather sell the house than let us live there, what a vicious heart she has!"
Li Bowen clenched his fists tightly, "You unfilial daughter! I wasted my life raising her!"
Li Mingliang cursed angrily: "That bitch Li Xiyue actually dared to sell my house, my money, my watch, my bicycle, I have nothing left!"
How dare she? She dared to hit him, sell his house, and take his things. She's a despicable woman who deserves to die a horrible death!
"What do you mean 'your house'? This is Yueyue's house, her mother's dowry. She can sell it if she wants!" Grandma Zhang said angrily when she heard Li Mingliang scolding Li Xiyue.
The neighbors all chimed in:
"Yes, can't they sell their own house? They've let you live here for free for so many years, did you pay them?"
"How shameless! Living in Yueyue's house and still hitting her, isn't this like cursing your mother after you've had your milk? It's utterly immoral."
"No one will even mourn the death of someone like that!"
The neighbors all agreed with Grandma Zhang's words. This was all thanks to Grandma Zhang, who went to each of the neighbors' homes yesterday afternoon and exaggerated the Li family's behavior. Now everyone knows the despicable things the four members of the Li family have done.
Li Bowen was very proud and couldn't stand being insulted like that. Just as he was about to say something, someone from the government arrived.
"Comrade, what did you say? Someone reported me for having an extramarital affair?" Li Bowen's face turned pale after hearing what Comrade GWH said.
Wearing a red armband, Wang Hongjun's expression was serious. "That's right, please come with us to investigate."
"Who reported me? Was it my eldest daughter, Li Xiyue?" Li Bowen asked urgently.
Wang Hongjun said, "It was an anonymous report, and we don't know who it was. Please cooperate with our investigation."
"Comrade, there must be a mistake. I remarried after my first wife passed away. I never cheated on my husband." Li Bowen tried to defend himself.
Wang Huilan also shamelessly said, "Yes, comrade, we got married openly and honestly, we didn't do anything sneaky."
But she clearly lacked confidence in her words, and had to bite the bullet and pretend to be calm.
Wang Hongjun: "Please rest assured, we will not let a bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong an innocent person."
Before Li Bowen and Wang Huilan could say anything more, people from the textile factory arrived and said that someone had reported them for embezzling and accepting bribes by abusing their positions. The investigation had confirmed the allegations, and the factory had decided to dismiss them.
The two were struck dumb.
That wasn't the end of it. Soon after, the police arrived. "Who are Li Bowen and Wang Huilan?"
Li Bowen and Wang Huilan's legs trembled as they raised their hands, "It is I."
"You are suspected of a murder case. Please come with us for investigation." After saying this, the police officer stepped forward and handcuffed the two men.
They also committed murder?
Grandma Zhang and everyone else were extremely surprised.
Wang Huilan panicked completely. How did the police know about that?
Looking at the handcuffs on his wrists, Li Bowen felt a surge of anger. It must have been Li Xiyue who did it. If he had known she was so vicious, he should have killed her sooner!
"Dad, Mom!" Li Muqing and Li Mingliang ran over and grabbed their parents.
Li Bowen glared at Li Muqing with resentment, "If it weren't for your reckless words, your mother and I wouldn't be in this situation today."
That daughter is truly a scourge; if it weren't for her, he wouldn't be in this state today.
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" Wang Huilan cried in despair.
Li Muqing didn't expect things to turn out this way. Yesterday, when Li Xiyue confronted her, she revealed that she was her father's biological daughter in order to put Li Xiyue in her place. She never expected that Li Xiyue would dare to report her parents.
This is also Li Xiyue's father. How dare she report her own father? Isn't she afraid of retribution?
The police ignored the siblings and took Li Bowen and Wang Huilan away.
Li Muqing asked tearfully, "Liangzi, what should we do?"
My parents have been taken away by the police, and now they've lost their house. Where are they supposed to go?
"Are Li Muqing and Li Mingliang at home?" At this moment, a comrade from the educated youth office came over.
Grandma Zhang pointed to the siblings in the yard, "Those two are the scoundrels."
The comrades from the educated youth office, seeing the two of them with bandages and injuries all over their faces, didn't interfere much and directly stated their purpose: "The notice for you to sign up to go to the countryside in the Northwest has been issued. The train leaves the day after tomorrow morning. Don't miss it."
"What?" Li Muqing shrieked, "Go to the countryside? Or to the desert?"
The comrade from the educated youth office glanced at the notice in his hand. "That's right, it's for going to the desert."
"Desert?!" Li Muqing ignored her younger brother, rushed over and snatched the notification slip, then froze when she saw the address.
Her parents were arrested by the police, her home was robbed, her house was sold, and she and her younger brother are going to plant trees in the desert!
Good heavens!
After being hit by wave after wave of bad news, Li Muqing finally couldn't take it anymore, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Li Mingliang fainted even earlier than her.
The people in the educated youth office didn't care whether they were dizzy or not. As long as the time came and they hadn't gone to the countryside, they would be considered to have evaded going to the countryside and would suffer the consequences.
Grandma Zhang and her neighbors looked delighted. "Great! All the bad guys have finally gotten their comeuppance!"
