Chapter 49 Chapter 49
Li Yufen was stopped by Chen Ju'er. She just said that she wanted to go to the toilet for convenience. However, she thought that Chen Ju'er was very thick-skinned and wanted to go with her.
Li Yufen was almost angry with this dog skin plaster. She couldn't understand why Chen Juer always stared at her and insisted on getting along with her.
But now she was really helpless about Chen Ju'er. She was afraid that any objection would arouse Chen Ju'er's suspicion, so she could only grit her teeth and agree to let her follow her.
In the end, under Chen Juer's strict defense, Li Yufen could not find a chance to sneak away. She could only watch the public security searches get closer and closer to her home.
Seeing that the police had already searched Chen Ju'er's house, it was her turn to be her next house, Li Yufen couldn't help but feel anxious and instigated Chen Ju'er: "Don't you go back and take a look? Be careful that the private money you hidden will be taken out. If your mother-in-law sees it, she will tear you away."
Chen Juer was startled by Li Yufen's words. She looked at Li Yufen suspiciously, wondering how she knew she had hidden her private money.
She was so hiding that she didn't even know her mother-in-law. Did Li Yufen really know, or was she just cheating on her?
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Li Yufen couldn't help but 'chuck', looking at her and sneered: "Last time, I saw you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. The sugar cakes you bought before were still the sugar cakes you had no money to buy before. And I also saw you send the sugar cakes to your parents' home. Your mother-in-law couldn't give you money to buy these and let you send them back to your parents' home, so I guess you must have hidden your private money."
Li Yufen was happy for a long time when she seized Chen Juer's handle on hiding private money. She wanted to find an opportunity to snatch Chen Juer's mother-in-law to know that the old woman would make Chen Juer's case seriously. She didn't expect that there would be so many troubles in her family. After such delays, she forgot about hiding Chen Juer's case.
Chen Ju'er was exposed by Li Yufen and she felt very relieved.
Since the family of the Zheng family has not yet separated, the sons lived with the old couple after getting married, and the money they earned was handed over to the house and her mother-in-law. Although her husband is a brick kiln factory worker, he has a monthly salary, but the money is simply not in her hands.
After seven or eight years of entering the house, she gave birth to three more money-lossing goods. In the eyes of her mother-in-law, she had no status at all. She was not as good as the other sisters-in-law who gave birth to a son. So every time she wanted to use money, she had to reach out to her mother-in-law, and she would inevitably be scolded by her mother-in-law.
When Chen Juer thought that she would even be scolded by her mother-in-law if she bought more needles, she really couldn't stand it and began to be cautious with her mother-in-law and encouraged her husband to save her private money.
Although her husband Zheng Guomin disagreed at first, she later persuaded her to save money for her son.
Zheng Guomin used to have no objection to his mother's money he earned to spend money for a family. It was because his wife gave birth to three daughters who lost money for him. He felt that life was not going to be successful without a son.
But now his wife said that she could have a child, and maybe the next one would be her son. He became motivated again and felt that it was necessary to save some milk powder for his son who had not yet been born, so he agreed to intercept some of the money given to the public servant every month.
Chen Juer and her husband didn't dare to intercept too much. They left a few cents apart every time, which was inconspicuous, but they secretly saved nearly ten yuan in the past year.
She used to hide all her money under the bricks on the bed where she was sleeping. This time the police came to search the door. What if she found it out?
Chen Juer is most afraid of her mother-in-law who has a gloomy face all day long. The more she thinks about it, the more frightened she becomes. She can't stand it and run home.
When Li Yufen saw that she was moved by her, she was immediately delighted and hurriedly followed Chen Juer to her house.
Who knew that before Chen Ju'er could run to the door, she saw Lin Da'an and two public security comrades leading the old man of the Zheng family and several sons out.
Chen Ju'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she met her husband Zheng Guomin's look that made her feel at ease, but when she turned around, Li Yufen's figure was gone.
Chen Ju'er quickly stepped back a few steps and ran to the Lin family next door. Sure enough, she saw that Li Yufen had slipped back to her home. Thinking that this woman had scared her to death just now, Chen Ju'er felt hatred in her heart.
At this moment, she happened to see Li Yufen holding a pocket and was anxious. She felt that her behavior was suspicious. When she thought about the case that the police came to investigate today, Chen Juer could not understand what she had originally couldn't figure out.
No wonder Li Yufen was so opposed to the police coming to search the door before, and later she wanted to throw her away and sneak back home. She looked at the pocket she was holding, and there was nothing she didn't understand.
It is well known that Li Yufen has a bad relationship with her stepmother-in-law. Chen Juer thinks that the sweet potatoes thrown by Mrs. Lin’s house were probably stolen by Li Yufen, but she has sufficient motives for committing the crime.
Thinking of this, Chen Juer was so excited that she hurriedly shouted to the two young police officers who had just come out of her house: "Comrades in Public Security, go and arrest Li Yufen. I think she is the sweet potato thief. She is in a hurry to hide the evidence of her crime!"
As soon as Chen Juer said this, she not only scared Li Yufen, who was also hiding her pockets in the yard, and also shocked Lin Da'an, who had already doubted Li Yufen.
Lin Daan led two policemen to rush into the yard of Lin Minghai's house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Yufen holding a snakeskin pocket in his hand, and was about to hide the pocket and the things inside into the chicken circle.
"Li Yufen, be honest and lenient, resist strictness! Hand the bag in your hand to the police comrades, otherwise we will be tough."
Li Yufen was shocked by Lin Da'an's scolding, and was stared at by two serious police officers, which made her even more panic.
Li Yufen hesitated for a moment and did not dare to ignore Lin Daan's warning. She couldn't help but regret it. The pocket contained ordinary sweet potatoes, which were grown better at most and bigger. If she found out, she said it was planted by her own family.
She ran back to Tibet and Tibet, which was a bit unnecessary. It might not have happened, but now her abnormal behavior aroused the suspicion of others.
Li Yufen secretly scolded herself for not being calm enough. She was scared by the police's search before, and instinctively wanted to eliminate the evidence of the crime. Now she really put herself in a dilemma.
Li Yufen took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She still argued: "Captain, comrade of the police, don't listen to Chen Ju'er's nonsense. She has been disagreeing with me. I can't bear to see that I deliberately poured dirty water on me. How could I steal things from my mother-in-law's field? Minghai, we two slept in the same room. Can you still not know if I have been out tonight?"
Li Yufen naturally did not steal sweet potatoes, but she could not let the police find her parents' home. She clenched her pocket and looked at Lin Minghai, but she thought in her heart whether she could get away with it.
Lin Minghai didn't expect that the matter of stealing sweet potatoes could be related to his wife. At this time, when Li Yufen begged, he could not care about the cold war with Li Yufen, and hurriedly said to Lin Da'an: "Da'an, what Yufen has done? Can I still not know what the person next to me, I, don't have the time to steal sweet potatoes at all. I can prove this to her."
Lin Daan ignored Lin Minghai and signaled Li Yufen to hand over the snakeskin pocket in his hand and let the two public security comrades check it out.
At this time, Li Yufen didn't dare to hold on, so she could only watch the police comrades lift their pockets and pour out all the sweet potatoes inside.
"Li Yufen, why don't you say that the sweet potatoes are grown by you at home?"
Lin Daan looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground and sneered at Li Yufen.
Li Yufen had indeed had this plan, but when she met Lin Da'an's sarcastic gaze, she could not say anything else.
"Lin Minghai, do you see if the sweet potatoes in this bag are from your field?"
Lin Minghai looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground that were obviously much larger than those in his field and were much better than those in his field, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
Although he had never seen what the sweet potatoes his stepmother had harvested looked like, he was sure that these were not grown in his own fields.
Seeing that Lin Minghai was silent and silent, Lin Daan looked at Li Yufen and said in a low voice: "Now you can tell me where this sweet potato comes from, right? If the source is OK, why did you hide the things just now? You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I'll hand you over to the police comrades and let them take you back to the bureau for interrogation."
Li Yufen bit her lips and lowered her head without saying anything, as if she hadn't heard Lin Da'an's warning.
Seeing her attitude, Lin Daan didn't understand anything. She was determined to protect the real sweet potato thief.
Lin Minghai was also so angry that he was half-expected by her attitude. Without thinking about it, his mind was already locked in his doubts.
With Li Yufen's personality, who else can besides her mother's family who can make her do whatever she wants to protect? I'm afraid even her husband can't let her treat her wholeheartedly, and then the words of his daughter Lin Daya confirmed his speculation.
Lin Daya was frightened when she saw that the police were going to catch her mother. She didn't want to become a motherless child like Zhang Tietou, so she cried and shouted: "That pocket of sweet potatoes was sent by my grandmother, not my mother stole them. If you want to catch them, go and catch my grandmother, don't catch my mother!"
When Li Yufen saw that Lin Daya actually gave her mother, she was so angry that she wanted to beat her up.
Lin Minghai hurriedly protected Lin Daya and was very angry at Li Yufen's unfair behavior.
The thief who stole the sweet potatoes in his stepmother's own field was his mother-in-law. His wife knew what her mother-in-law did and wanted to shelter her. With such a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, Lin Minghai felt that he had lost all his face.
He directly pulled his son and daughter back to the main hall, and ignored Li Yufen, who was still crying and crying for his parents' family.
Since they knew that the sweet potato thief was Old Lady Zhang, Lin Daan led the police to Fangdou Village to arrest people. Then they not only found more than 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes in the Li family, but also found seven or eight small melons. The evidence was conclusive and irrefutable.
Amid the screams and curses of Mrs. Zhang, except for the Li family's daughter-in-law and the newborn child who were in confinement, all the Li family members who participated in stealing sweet potatoes were arrested.
The case of sweet potato stolen was solved, and the villagers of Shanglin Village were relieved. However, compared to the joy of the rest of the village, Li Yufen felt that the sky was about to collapse after learning that all her parents and brothers had been arrested in the bureau.
After crying, Li Yufen staggered out of the house without caring about her gloomy husband.
She saw the old lady carrying a bucket towards the vegetable garden from afar and hurriedly chased after her.
"Mother-in-law!"
Seeing that the old lady ignored her, Li Yufen gritted her teeth and wanted to kneel down and cry, but the old lady was guarding against her and pulled her arm.
"Why, you're not tired of kneeling down at any time?"
Li Yufen was pulled by the old lady and couldn't kneel down. She realized that her tone was not good, so she shook her head and cried: "Mother-in-law, I can't do anything about stealing sweet potatoes. It's really wrong for my parents' home. Now the stolen sweet potatoes have been retrieved. If not enough, I'll ask my parents' home to make up for you. You can tell the people from the Public Security Bureau that they won't sue me. Can you do it? My parents are so old, and they are locked up and they can't bear it. As long as you agree not to sue them, I will never bother you again. Will you avoid walking when you see you?"
The old lady was blocked by her and was really annoyed. "You get out of the way. Your parents' home has violated the law and has been arrested. And the evidence is conclusive. If you think the Public Security Bureau is run by my family, I will not sue you. If you don't sue, you will not sue. Can't the Public Security Comrades be arranged? If you have the ability to ask the Public Security Bureau, if the Public Security Comrades think that your parents' home is not guilty, they will naturally release them."
After the old lady said that, she didn't care about Li Yufen's reaction. She pulled Li Yufen's hand away and carried the bucket to go to water the vegetable garden.
Li Yufen was torn and almost fell down. She had to let the old woman treat her like this before, so she had long turned her back on her face without hesitation, but now she still hoped that the old lady could be soft-hearted and let her parents go, so how could she dare to make her face look?
Li Yufen had to press the annoyance in her heart, gritted her teeth and chased after her again. Seeing the old lady swaying with the bucket, she wanted to snatch the bucket, "Mother-in-law, I'll help you water the vegetables!"
The old lady avoided her and said, "I'm not a seventy-eighty-year-old, I'm still doing it myself. I didn't expect you to help you before, and now I don't need it. I've stole my things and hoped that I won't pursue anything. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? If you don't leave, I'll call Lin Minghai and ask him how he disciplined his wife."
Li Yufen felt uncomfortable because of the old lady's words. But no matter how uncomfortable she was, she had to endure it in order to save her mother's family. She forced her smile and said, "Mother-in-law, I used to be ignorant. I knew I was wrong. Please forgive me, but my mother's family is really..."
The old lady carried the bucket into the vegetable garden. Seeing that Li Yufen wanted to get entangled, she threw the water into the bucket and looked at her coldly!
