Chapter 1735: One Hundred Thousand

This routine was very effective—no, it used to be very effective.

But it doesn't work now; the police have arrived to take her away!

"On what grounds? Even if you are police, you can't just arrest people. Is there no rule of law left?"

When a mother throws a tantrum, the son must step up!

Seeing their mother being bullied, Wu Ying's two nephews came out from home carrying shovels and sticks to cheer on their old mother and establish the Wu family's authority.

The two ran to the scene, and seeing the police about to take their mother away, they naturally had to ask: "On what grounds?"

Originally, taking Wu Ying's sister-in-law away was just to investigate the specific situation, but the fact that two grown men came with weapons—this was unacceptable!

They were all taken away.

They arrived at the town's police station.

The police presented the evidence, and Wu Ying's sister-in-law stopped crying and making a scene.

The evidence was irrefutable; no one knew which black-hearted person had installed surveillance where the fertilizer was stored. The entire process of her sabotage was captured—high-definition cameras, so clear that even how many eyebrows she had were captured distinctly; there was no way to deny it.

None of the mother and her two sons returned.

All were detained for fifteen days.

The destroyed fertilizer also had to be compensated for!

Good heavens, it was only when Wu Ying's sister-in-law reached the police station that she realized the poverty-alleviation fertilizer was actually that expensive!

Three hundred yuan a bag; with over a thousand households in the village, two bags per family meant over two thousand bags.

The fertilizer alone was worth seven hundred thousand!

She threw a tantrum at the police station, saying she wouldn't pay a cent, but the police didn't waste words with her and transferred her directly to the court; she was stunned only after receiving the subpoena.

If she didn't pay, she would face a prison sentence of no less than three years and no more than seven years.

She asked her husband to go find his younger sister for money, but Wu Ying's brother's phone number had been blocked; unable to reach her, he went to her home, but couldn't even get into the residential complex.

Not only could he not get in, but he was also warned by the Security Guard that if he came here again to harass the residents, he would be sent to the police station.

Wu Ying's brother was so scared he scrambled back home.

His personality was also cowardly; although he was slightly better than his sister, it wasn't by much.

Usually, whatever his wife said went, and now that his wife and sons were at the police station, he was like someone who had lost his backbone and had no idea what to do.

Wu Ying's two nephews were detained for fifteen days for threatening the police and obstructing official duties.

When they returned home half a month later, they realized what a huge disaster their mother had caused!

Either pay the money or go to prison; pick one.

The two daughters-in-law cried and made a scene at home, not at all inferior to their mother-in-law, threatening that if their husbands dared to sell the house to save their mother, they would divorce immediately and end the marriage.

They didn't dare to look for their aunt; the young people were well-educated and stronger than their mothers. If they went to ask the aunt for money and the cousin reported them to the police, they would be charged with extortion, and they would be in deep trouble.

Wu Ying's two nephews were burly, but they were both afraid of their wives. In the end, after the few of them put their heads together, they decided to run away—out of sight, out of mind.

Wu Laoda went to the police station to see his wife, and was stunned when he returned home.

Everything that could be moved from the house had been moved; bank cards and his wife's gold jewelry had been thoroughly looted, and not even a penny of cash was left for him.

At first, he thought the house had been robbed and wanted to call the police, but a neighbor kindly told him: "Don't call the police; your two sons took it away in a vehicle. If you call the police, they'll end up inside."

Since his sons took it, he couldn't call the police. Wu Laoda got through to his sons' phones, and both sons clearly stated: "We split the goods and the money. Don't you parents always say everything you do is for your sons?"

"It can't just be talk; you have to take actual action. We're going to the south to work; you two old folks take care of yourselves."

Take care?

Could they?

Wu Laoda was usually oppressed by his wife and sons and had no say in anything; it was the same now.

The sons ran off with the money, and Wu Ying's sister-in-law cursed in the detention center: "You freeloading wretches, ungrateful wolves, may you die a horrible death..."

Whether others would die a horrible death, no one knew.

But her endless cursing in the detention center seriously affected others' rest.

There were eight people in the same cell, none of whom were easy to deal with. Among eight equally difficult people, seven beat one; the advantage was obvious.

Wu Ying's sister-in-law was beaten until her mind wasn't working well. At this time, the court verdict came down, sentencing her to seven years in prison, to be served outside of prison.

When she returned home, she no longer had her former arrogance and domineering manner. She was timid and cowering whenever she saw anyone, muttering incessantly: "Don't hit me, don't hit me..."

In the village, there were many people she had bullied before.

From eighty-year-old men and women down to toddlers who had just learned to walk, plus Liu Xiazi at the entrance of the village and Huang Quezi at the end of the village—all the weak and vulnerable groups were targets of her bullying.

Now that she had returned in this state, she was retaliated against every day in the village.

Her body was often covered in bruises, and wherever she went, people would throw stones, rotten vegetable leaves, and the like at her.

Wu Ying's sister-in-law was scared out of her wits, cowering and only daring to hide at home, not daring to go out at all.

The villagers all said that her current state was retribution, that she had done too many evil deeds, and it was karma coming back to haunt her.

Wu Laoda was a pushover. Hearing the villagers say this, he felt they were right, so he didn't have the face to go to his younger sister for help. Every day, he just honestly farmed in the village and took care of his wife.

The fertilizer company stopped pursuing the matter and sent over two thousand bags of the best fertilizer again to distribute to the villagers.

This time when the fertilizer was delivered, Wu Laoda didn't dare to go register, but the people from the fertilizer company personally delivered the fertilizer to their home, saying their family met the criteria and could collect the fertilizer.

The villagers praised them, lauding the fertilizer company's staff for letting bygones be bygones, calling them great philanthropists and good people... No one noticed that the person in charge of the fertilizer company was actually a middle-level executive of Jian Group!

It was the weekend again.

It was time for the children's gathering, but this time the gathering was at Moli's house.

Moli said that always having the gathering at Chenxin Snack was not good, as it affected the big brother's business, and his own place was large and good for having fun.

Everyone gladly accepted the invitation, following the old rules: some brought vegetables, some bought drinks, some bought meat, some bought seafood, and some bought fruit.

This had become a customary practice; everyone brought some food, and then they cooked together, lively and happy.

The first to arrive were Zichen and Gu Yuxin.

Both of them knew how to cook and would arrive early for every gathering; as soon as the two entered the door, they discovered movement in the kitchen, and it was Moli who came to open the door for them, so the two asked in unison: "Have you two made up?"

"Mm." Mo Li's face was full of smiles, smiling very happily.

Zichen asked: "Does Aunt know?"

"She knows, she knows, my mom doesn't object anymore."

Moli proudly boasted about his girlfriend's "great achievements," but before he could finish speaking, the others arrived one after another; everyone was in pairs, while Zirui was still alone.
