Aunt Zhao arrived at the Lin family's house cheering and jumping for joy. From a distance, she saw that the lights in the Lin family's yard were on and there was constant conversation. One could imagine how many people had gathered there.

She came forward with great joy, and originally wanted to squeeze to the front, but when the people around her saw it was her, they tacitly made way for her.

Aunt Lin didn't understand what was going on, so she yelled at the top of her voice, "Quanquan, my Tiejun knows that what he did was wrong, but he couldn't control himself. Don't bother with him. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly. Don't worry, Auntie won't let you down!"

Lin Quan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You know it's wrong to do this, but you still do it. Isn't this breaking the law knowingly? I have nothing to say to your Zhao family. If you have anything to say, go talk to the police!"

When Aunt Zhao heard that the police had been called, she was not in a hurry at all. "Oh, it's just a small matter, why do you need to ask the police to intervene? Just listen to me, just go with Tiejun... Why did Tiejun fall to the ground? And... Why is he bleeding so much?"

"Mr. Tieniu, from the tone of your voice, you know exactly what your Tiejun is going to do today!" Aunt Cheng, who is on good terms with Lin's mother, said from the side.

At this time, Aunt Zhao's attention was all attracted by Zhao Tiejun who was lying unconscious on the ground, and she didn't care at all what Aunt Cheng said.

Seeing this, Aunt Cheng curled her lips and said, "Well, we can't get anything out of him. Let the police go and ask!"

"The police are coming! The police are coming!"

The crowd once again made way, and two police officers stepped forward, along with Director Chen from the commune.

"Comrade Xu Wanning, I received a call saying that your house was robbed. Is this true?"

Xu Wanning nodded, her tone heavy, "It was Zhao Tiejun from our village. I heard some noise in the yard at home in the middle of the night, and when I came out I saw him climbing over the wall, with a machete on his back."

Xu Wanning only spoke half of her words and kept the other half to herself, and all of them were true. As for what the truth was, someone had to imagine it.

Xu Wanning didn't think that she had wronged Zhao Tiejun by calling him a thief.

After all, if Zhao Tiejun didn't have any bad intentions, he wouldn't have come to her house so late at night, and he did carry a machete.

If Xu Wanning hadn't taken the initiative to say that he was a thief who came for money, then when Zhao Tiejun woke up and said that he came for Lin Quan, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, Lin Quan's reputation would have been completely ruined!

Therefore, we must not leave him such an opportunity.

The police asked a few questions and wanted to take Xu Wanning back to the police station to take a statement as a routine matter, but they were stopped by Secretary Chen.

"I trust the character of Comrade Xu Wanning. She has done a lot of practical things for our commune and even Ji City. Her husband is the battalion commander of the Jingshi Military Region. She can't lie. It's late at night. There are seven people in her family, three adults and four children. It's really inconvenient for them to travel with us."

With Secretary Chen's endorsement, the police did not allow Xu Wanning to accompany them to take a statement.

The unconscious Zhao Tiejun and Aunt Zhao were taken away by the police.

Before the crowd dispersed, there were still people comforting Xu Wanning.

Xu Wanning had no choice but to agree one by one, and finally sent the last group of people away.

After the door was closed, Lin Quan gave Xu Wanning a thumbs up and said, "Sister-in-law, your idea is really great! I wonder if the Zhao family will dare to have any evil thoughts in the future."

Xu Wanning sighed: "After all, we didn't suffer any substantial losses, so even if Zhao Tiejun is detained, it will only be for a few days and he won't be sentenced."

"Anyway, as long as their family doesn't come to disgust me before we leave!" Lin Quan pouted: "If my brother still doesn't come back next year, I don't want to come back either!"

Although most people in the village are nice, there are always a few who are always breaking new lows, which is really disgusting.

Lin Quan claims that he is not a smart man. Who knows if he will be tricked by others at any time, so it is better to stay away from it from the beginning.

"Let's go, go back to sleep, don't let these two scumbags affect your mood."

Returning to the bedroom, Xu Wanning and the other two saw the four children still sleeping soundly, so they crawled back into the slightly warm bed.

The next morning, Xu Wanning still stayed in bed.

The warm quilt has a kind of magic that even someone with extremely high self-discipline like Xu Wanning can't resist.

Seeing that she and Lin Quan didn't want to get up, Lin's mother said, "Since Zhao Tiejun has been arrested, why don't we not go to the county town today, stay at home for another day, and go there early tomorrow morning?"

The train ticket is for noon and we'll leave tomorrow morning, so there's definitely enough time.

Xu Wanning thought for a moment and said, "We still have to go to the county town today, but there's no need to rush. We can go there at noon."

Although Zhao Tiejun is gone, there is still the Mi family in the village who also covets Lin Quan. Who knows if there will be any more trouble?

What if someone figures out the key point of last night and comes home late at night in the same way? Yesterday’s excuse may not work today.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You and Quanquan can sleep for a while. I'll make breakfast."

Lin Quan's little face emerged from the quilt and she said to her mother, "Mom, my reason tells me that I should get up now to help you make breakfast, but I really don't want to get up."

Mother Lin smiled and said, "We've been busy all year, and we only have a few days to rest during the Chinese New Year. Just have a good sleep. There's not much work in the kitchen, so I can do it all by myself."

Lin's mother was cooking when she heard someone knocking on the door.

She shouted "I'm coming" and went to open the door.

When she opened the door, she didn't see anyone at first glance. Just as Lin's mother was wondering, she suddenly felt someone tugging at her trouser leg.

She subconsciously lowered her head and noticed that there were two children, one big and one small, kneeling on the snowy ground.

The girl was a little older and looked about the same age as Jinchu, but she looked thin and small due to malnutrition caused by years of poor eating.

The boy was about the same age as Chu Lin, and his eyes were filled with hatred when he looked at Lin's mother.

"Whose children are you? Why are you kneeling at my door so early in the morning instead of at home?"

Aunt Cheng from next door heard the commotion and rushed out to see what was happening. When she saw Zhao Tiejun's two children kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly said, "Zhao Di and Yao Zu, what are you two doing? The ground is covered with snow. If you keep kneeling, you don't want to use your legs anymore, do you?"

Zhao Zhaodi looked at Lin's mother with red eyes and pleaded, "Auntie Lin, please let my father go, okay? My brother and I can't live without a father!"
