The three experts sternly criticized Fang Qiuhong and left in anger.
Captain Ou quickly asked Li Liguo to drive them.
Li Liguo refused.
Li Zhengguo took the car keys, drove the experts to the county, and then returned.
Xiao Shuyuan stared at the courtyard wall, these roses seemed identical to those in the capital.
Tian Jing warned him, "Shut your mouth."
"Yes, subordinate understands."
...
Li Zhengguo notified his elder brother, Brother Wang, and Brother Niu's families to pick vegetables. After filling a truck with produce, he called his elder brother and sister to go to the provincial capital together.
Li Min was happy that she was finally free, but her younger brother immediately delivered a blow.
"When you get back, tell me your thoughts, then go and apologize to the person you wronged."
"Who?"
"You don't even know who you've hurt, you're an idiot. Hurry up and go."
"Oh, I'll take An An home."
"Go quickly."
Li Min ran back to her long-missed maternal home and saw the coldness from her mother and sister-in-law, which felt like a bucket of cold water poured over her.
"Mom~, Sister-in-law~"
Li's mother took her little grandson, "Go early and return early."
Tian Jing waved, "Have a good trip."
On the big truck, Li Min asked her younger brother, "Is it Mom and Sister-in-law?"
"More than that."
Huh? Had she hurt many people?
Li Zhengguo glanced at his sister, truly an idiot. Fortunately, she married the sincere Suozhu.
Li Liguo, who was driving, glanced at his younger sister, "And Damai."
"Ah? I have to apologize to a junior?"
Li Zhengguo directly poked his sister's head, "What's wrong with being a junior? Are you a qualified elder?"
...
Three days later, the three people in the truck returned.
Li Min dejectedly went to apologize to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
Tian Jing waved her hand, "You're not apologizing to me. I know your bad habits. I won't take your words to heart."
Having taken a hit, Li Min went to apologize to her mother, "Mom~ I'm sorry."
Her mother waved her hand, "You were born to me. No matter what you do, I have to endure it."
After two hits, Li Min went to apologize to her husband, "Brother Suozhu, I'm sorry."
Chen Suozhu scratched his head, "What's wrong? Going out once, planning to leave me?"
After three hits, Li Min went to apologize to her niece, "Damai, I'm sorry."
Damai shook her head, "I will not forgive you."
This heavy blow almost made the already internally injured Li Min spit blood.
"Damai, what do I need to do for you to forgive me?"
Damai continued to shake her head, "Never. If it were someone else, I would forgive you, but you are my aunt. Aunt and Grandma didn't say that to you, did they?"
Li Min returned to her maternal home, crestfallen, "Mom~ Damai said she will never forgive me."
Li's mother pointed at her with disappointment, "What did you say to her?"
"I, I just saw her helping Doctor Yuan feed the pigs, and I, I told her to respect herself and love herself."
Li's mother raised her hand to slap her, "Was Doctor Yuan there too?"
Li Min dodged her mother's slap, which landed on her shoulder. "Not only was Doctor Yuan there, but Afeng and Doctor Yang were also present."
"No wonder, no wonder Damai never comes anymore. You, you are simply..."
Li's mother pointed at her daughter, her arm trembling with anger, "When you were being intimate with Suozhu, didn't I give you a chance? Didn't your sister-in-law support you?"
Li Min mumbled, "But, but you all agreed to Suozhu, didn't you?"
Tian Jing helped the exasperated mother-in-law sit down, patted her back, and said to her sister-in-law.
"The more someone disagrees, the more carefully you should handle it. You spoke those words in front of Doctor Yuan and two others, practically dragging her through the mud.
You are her family!
At the time, she didn't immediately fall out with you, which shows she is more magnanimous and calmer than you, and knows better how to protect the Li family's reputation.
You are not as good as her."
Li Min's face turned very ugly, "Sister-in-law~ you, aren't you demeaning me too?"
Tian Jing retorted, "Those who demean others will be demeaned by others."
Li's mother waved at her daughter, "Take An An back and continue to be confined."
"Why?" Li Min was unconvinced, "Some villagers have already said that about respecting oneself and loving oneself in front of me, that's why I was angry."
Li's mother pointed at the door, "Get out!"
Li Min still didn't understand, "Why?"
Tian Jing comforted her mother-in-law, "It's alright, don't be angry with her. There are many household matters, and you have a lot to do."
Li's mother sighed deeply, "Ai~~"
Tian Jing gave Li Min, who was completely bewildered, the answer, "Since others have already said it in front of you, why didn't you tell your mother? Why didn't you tell Damai privately?"
"Don't tell me you couldn't persuade Damai. If you said such unpleasant words to Damai, wouldn't she pay attention?"
"You find it unpleasant to hear, and in front of the people she cares about most, you uttered those four words that represent lowliness. Who were you looking down on with your arrogant eyes? Were you trying to force her to death?"
Li Min shook her head, "I didn't, I didn't."
"You did."
Tian Jing said with certainty, "The fact that you could say those four words in front of outsiders shows that you look down on her from the bottom of your heart."
"Even when there were no outsiders, I only dared to use the word 'overly attached', and that was the harshest word I could find, and she wasn't angry at all."
Li Min didn't believe it, "Impossible, 'overly attached' isn't a good word either."
"But I didn't say it in front of outsiders, nor in front of someone she liked. She could listen to the rest of my words calmly."
"I told her that this word hurt her, but if she didn't change, the villagers' words would be even more unpleasant, and she wouldn't be the only one hurt."
"Like you, you were hurt, but you turned around and hurt her."
"She is insecure. Her mother's behavior has influenced her. Your four words are like cutting her with a knife."
Li Min shook her head. "I really didn't..."
"Shut up."
Li Zhengguo came in from the main hall, "Take An An and go back to continue being confined."
Li Min was confined again, and her spirit completely sank.
Chen Suozhu listened to his brother-in-law and went out early and returned late every day, prioritizing his career.
...
This time, when they went to the provincial capital, Li Zhengguo and his elder brother inquired extensively and finally found the person who handled the exchange.
The exchange person did have some influence in the provincial capital, but with just one truckload of vegetables, he refused to reveal anything.
It was only when Li Zhengguo assured him that it was a personal vendetta and he wanted to evade it.
And promised to send a truck of vegetables of different grades every ten days thereafter.
And that he would have the first pick of watermelons every year. Only then did the exchange person quietly tell him.
But there were only two pieces of information: the gang was called Fuhan, and most of the gang members were martial artists, with a minority being powerful and influential individuals.
As for who the leader was, no one knew.
Tian Jing frowned, "It sounds like their ambitions are huge."
Li Zhengguo agreed, "I have that feeling too. The exchange person whispered it into my ear, and he was still looking around nervously."
Tian Jing impatiently thought about these schemes, "Forget it, we'll deal with it as it comes. I don't believe Zhao Xiaofang can hold back."
Li Zhengguo changed the topic, "I've already asked people to try their best to collect evidence of that elder sister's crimes. It's not targeting the gang, but as an individual, it's still easy to collect."
Tian Jing nodded, "Mmm, fleas are quite annoying. By the way, Fang Qiuhong's community correction still has a few months left, right?"
Li Zhengguo thought for a moment, "Yes, it should be until mid-December."
Tian Jing said with a sinister smile, "Go and scare Lin Er. If he doesn't control his wife anymore, she'll be sent back inside. Anyway, the child is over a month old."
"It might be better to actually send her in."
"No, let her raise her son herself outside."
Li Zhengguo raised an eyebrow, "Is there something wrong with her son?"
"He was born more than a month premature."
