Ch 59: Arresting Who
The three of them looked up at the same time.
At the moment their eyes met, Yao Lin immediately burst into tears. The two people approaching showed expressions of worry, heartache, and sorrow.
These two people were none other than Yao Lin’s parents, Yao Da and Tang Xiang.
The two had rushed over as soon as they heard the news. They didn’t expect that as soon as they stepped into the Du Family Home’s gate, they would run into their daughter. Seeing their daughter’s disheveled, terrified, and tearful appearance, their hearts were about to break.
“Mom, they bullied me.” Yao Lin cried as she threw herself into Tang Xiang’s arms.
The Du Family Members rolled their eyes, who exactly was bullying whom?
Seeing her daughter so aggrieved, Tang Xiang felt extremely distressed. Yao Lin was the third child in the family, the youngest daughter. Although her parents couldn’t be considered doting on her, they were still good to her.
“You Du Family Members, don’t think that just because you have a few stinky coins, you can bully people!” Tang Xiang stepped forward a few steps, pointed at Du Dawei and the others, and shouted loudly.
The news that Yao’s parents received was that Yao Lin was shouting for help in the Du Family Home, and they didn’t know about the tractor burning incident. As soon as they entered the door and saw their daughter crying and shouting, they were even more convinced that the Du Family Members were bullying their daughter.
Tang Xiang’s back was straight, and she spoke with confidence. Tonight, she had to get justice for her daughter.
Why would the Du Family Members bully their daughter? Wasn’t it because Du Qingyang was jealous of Yao Lin? Zhu Xuan broke off the engagement with Du Qingyang because of Yao Lin, so Du Qingyang must be jealous.
Yao Da and Tang Xiang had always believed that Du Qingyang was jealous of Yao Lin, and never thought that Yao Lin would be jealous of others.
That’s right, their Yao Lin had been obedient and sensible since she was a child, and her academic performance was good. She was the vice class monitor in the class. How could such a pride of heaven be jealous of others?
What they didn’t realize was that Du Qingyang was much more outstanding than their pride of heaven daughter.
“D*mn it—”
“Little sister, don’t stop me, this family just needs a beating!”
Du Feipeng picked up the firewood again.
“What are you doing? Do you dare? Everyone, please help us judge this matter.” Tang Xiang panicked and quickly hid behind her husband. The Du Family Members were so arrogant, was no one going to do anything about it? There were so many people here, was no one going to say anything?
Actually, no one was. Their own daughter wanted to burn someone else’s tractor, and they still dared to shout? Deserved a beating! Really deserved a beating!
Yao Da was also puzzled, why was no one helping them speak?
“Village Chief… is the Village Chief here? Did you see everything?” Yao Da looked around, searching for the figure of Village Chief Zhou Kun.
“I’m here.” Zhou Kun actually responded. He walked in from outside, followed by two police officers.
Seeing the Village Chief coming with the police, Du Feipeng’s anger subsided slightly, and he put down the firewood in his hand.
The unknowing Yao Da and Tang Xiang felt like they had been rescued, and breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t notice Yao Lin trembling beside them.
Yao Lin’s face was pale, and her whole body was shaking. Taking advantage of no one paying attention, she was slowly retreating, trying to escape.
Unexpectedly, she was grabbed by Tang Xiang.
Tang Xiang didn’t notice Yao Lin’s abnormality. She grabbed Yao Lin and stepped forward, wanting to get justice for Yao Lin.
Yao Lin was pulled in front of the Village Chief, losing her chance to escape, and her heart turned cold.
Tang Xiang, however, thought that the Village Chief was here to help them. Look, he even brought the police. If their daughter was bullied by the Du Family Members, they had to find the police to help.
With the Village Chief and the police present, Tang Xiang felt confident. She even turned around and glanced at the Du Family Members, snorting coldly.
Yao Da stood next to his wife and daughter, raised his head, put his hands on his hips, and looked arrogant. He looked like he was in the right.
The crowd didn’t say anything, and the Du Family Members didn’t say anything either. Everyone’s eyes were on the Village Chief’s side, waiting for the Village Chief to speak.
“Police Comrade, this girl Yao Lin sneaked into the Du Family Home in the middle of the night to burn the Du family’s tractor. In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?”
As soon as Village Chief Zhou Kun spoke, Yao Da and Tang Xiang were dumbfounded. Were they hearing things? Wasn’t it the Du Family Members who were bullying Yao Lin?
Wait a minute—
Yao Lin wanted to burn the Du family’s tractor?
◈◈◈
How could that be possible?
The two of them simultaneously shifted their gaze to Yao Lin, seeing her head lowered and her body trembling. This…
Looking again at the tractor, there was a lot of firewood placed inside and out. This really looked like it was going to be burned.
The two of them suddenly remembered the rumors about Yao Lin some time ago. It was rumored in the village that Yao Lin had damaged the Du family’s tractor.
Were these all true?
Tang Xiang was still holding Yao Lin’s hand, feeling that her hand was ice-cold. In this hot weather, her hand was ice-cold and trembling? Could it be that she had a guilty conscience?
“Misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!” Yao Da was the first to recover.
“Yes, it must be a misunderstanding. My daughter is excellent in character and learning, she wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Tang Xiang also quickly echoed. She also listed a series of Yao Lin’s “excellences”, which semester she got first place, which subject she received praise from the teacher, which year she received the title of “Three Good Student”…
Du Qingyang looked up at the sky. Now it was Yao Lin’s attempted crime, so they should be listing evidence for defense. Why bring up academic performance?
Sure enough, the whole family had questionable intelligence.
Zhou Kun didn’t respond. The police directly bypassed them, walked to the Du Family Members, and asked about what had happened.
Du Dawei, Fang Rong, and Du Feipeng took turns recounting what had happened.
Immediately afterward, the police questioned several villagers.
All the accusations pointed to Yao Lin.
After listening to everyone’s words, Yao Da and Tang Xiang deflated, glaring fiercely at Yao Lin.
Why did she run to the Du Family Home in the middle of the night instead of resting? Was the tractor so easy to burn? Couldn’t she use her brain! If she wasn’t going to use her brain, she shouldn’t have scared herself and called people over herself. Wasn’t this shooting herself in the foot?
How could they have given birth to such a stupid daughter?
Yao Lin kept her head down, wishing she could dig a hole and crawl in. She couldn’t hear what everyone was saying. Her heart was tangled up in why she was so unlucky, why she had to run into a ghost?
The matter of running into a ghost wasn’t fake, but no one believed her. Yao Lin felt extremely aggrieved.
“Classmate Yao, please come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation.” Before long, the police walked up to Yao Lin.
Yao Lin suddenly raised her head, seeing two tall police officers, two serious faces. She was so scared that she quickly hid behind Tang Xiang.
Tang Xiang was also so scared that her face turned pale, and her teeth were chattering. Her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn’t say a word.
Yao Da still had some courage, daring to say, “Police Comrade, my daughter is just a child, she’s still ignorant.”
Pfft—
Du Qingyang laughed.
“Uncle Yao, I’m a few months younger than your daughter, I’m still young and ignorant too. I’ll go set a fire at your house right now, okay?” Du Qingyang rolled her eyes.
“Big brother will help you carry the firewood, let’s go now.” Du Feipeng chimed in.
Yao Da’s face was livid.
The two police officers didn’t answer, nor did they speak again. They directly grabbed one of Yao Lin’s arms each.
“No, don’t arrest me!”
“Dad, Mom, save me…”
