Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mother Lin harbored some doubts in her heart. If it was merely a matter of rumors and extortion, a few years in prison should have sufficed. How could it be said that his entire life was ruined by multiple punishments?
It seemed that this case was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Once Gu Zi and the others returned, she would have to ask Gu Zi about the details and discuss with her what they had seen and heard.
Mother Lin, supporting her husband, walked away, completely ignoring the commotion at the entrance of Lin Laoyao’s house. The villagers who had just confidently claimed that they had not misjudged Lin Laoyao and that he would never do such a thing were now dumbfounded. Was Lin Laoyao really the mastermind behind the rumors and the poisoning? It was too unbelievable!
Some villagers blushed and lowered their heads, some quietly walked away, while others immediately changed their stance, criticizing Lin Laoyao: “Laoyao, what are you doing? Are you looking for trouble? It’s foolish. Your son made a mistake first, and yet you seek revenge?”
“You’ve made us all lose face. What sin did our Little Lin Village commit to have fellow villagers like you? It’s so shameful to even mention it. You and your wife are playing the victim, how shameless! You should be arrested and kicked out of Little Lin Village!”
Lin Laoyao’s wife was still trying to understand what was happening, but it seemed clear that Lin Laoyao was indeed responsible. Her vision blurred, and she almost fainted. Her son was in jail, and now her husband was about to be arrested. How was she supposed to live?
But no one cared about her well-being now. The villagers who had originally sided with them were now cursing her and her husband along with the Li couple. Lin Laoyao, seeing that he could no longer hide, simply stopped pretending. Even though he was spat on, he kept smirking, and was taken away by two policemen amidst the chaos.
After Lin Laoyao was put in the car, he thought about the words of the city couple and was worried about Lin Jie. He spoke again: “I admit to all these charges. Can you tell me what happened to my son, Lin Jie?”
The two policemen in front exchanged glances. This case was also linked to several robbery cases, and it was of great importance. It was not appropriate to publicize it now, so the policeman who was not driving replied, “Sorry, we cannot disclose any information.”
After Lin Laoyao and the police left, the Li couple loudly told all the villagers, “It was my son who was foolish. He listened to Lin Yun’s instigation and slandered Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop. We came here today not only to curse that damned Lin Yun, but also to clarify the rumors. We have seen the chemical report with our own eyes. Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop’s food has no problems. You can eat it with confidence!
“We are explaining all this to you because we want to seek leniency for our son. Please stop spreading rumors. The food in their restaurant can withstand scrutiny. Don’t harm yourselves by spreading rumors. Ah, we’ve said all we need to say. Wife, let’s go.”
After the Li couple left, the villagers looked at each other, thinking about the similar rumors they had once spread. They were very scared. They wouldn’t be in trouble, would they? They dared not spread such rumors again in the future!
Meanwhile, Mother Lin had just helped her husband home when she saw her son-in-law’s car parked by the roadside. She didn’t rush to enter the house, but went to meet her daughter and son-in-law who had returned from the city. The four of them entered the house together.
Gu Zi hadn’t seen her three children for a day and a night, so she walked a bit faster and was the first to enter. As soon as she came in, she saw her second child playing with a small ball in the living room with little Su Le. The siblings were both dressed in thick warm clothes and wore warm fur hats on their heads. They looked chubby and cute.
Gu Zi walked over, patted her second child’s head, and picked up little Su Le, kissing her rosy cheek, “Little girl, did you miss Mommy?”
The little girl could now say quite a few words. She nodded repeatedly and kissed her mother back, “Miss Mommy, Mommy kiss!”
The second child, not to be outdone, circled around his mother and sister, saying, “Mommy, Su Li missed you too. I’ve finished all my winter vacation homework, so I’ll have more time to help you take care of my sister and help you with chores. You can ask me to do anything!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zi’s face broke into a smile. She praised, “Su Li, you’re great. Our Lele should learn from her brother. By the way, where’s your elder brother?” She hadn’t seen Su Bing since she came in and wondered where he had gone.
