She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

As Chen Xiangnan was leaving, one of the police officers patted him on the shoulder, which startled him so much that he stopped hiccuping.

"Don't be sad, we will definitely handle this fairly." The police officer felt that Chen Xiangnan, as a grown man, was proud and embarrassed to cry in his room, but he must still be heartbroken, so he comforted him.

Chen Xiangnan: "...Thank you."

It scared him to death.

"Captain, something terrible has happened—"

"Captain, something terrible has happened—"

The people of Lijiacun brigade were all working in the fields at this time, discussing what happened to Li Zhuang's family yesterday as they worked. When they heard the noise, they all looked up, and some of the clever ones had already dropped their hoes and run after them.

The brigade leader was in his office talking to Uncle Li about his family's dilapidated state; he was also feeling annoyed.

If that old woman really makes a scene at the commune, their brigade will never be eligible for any awards or commendations again.

Just now, Uncle Li Wu was telling him that Li Zhuang, that scoundrel, really gambled away all the bride price money, not a single penny left. Chen, the educated youth, had indeed never seen bride price money before.

If Chen Zhiqing's mother hadn't come, given Chen Zhiqing's gentle nature, Li Zhuang could have easily said a few nice words, and the marriage would probably have been arranged.

But yesterday, things turned out so badly. Two people who should have been getting along well as in-laws ended up fighting like madmen, and Li Zhuang even beat up his brother-in-law.

Their parents and siblings are all workers, unlike us peasants. They might even have connections in higher places.

Yesterday's events, regardless of which one, were all unreasonable. Even his attempt to smooth things over as the team leader might get him into trouble.

If the people from the commune really uphold justice, he probably won't be able to become the brigade leader next time.

Thinking of this, the current brigade leader of Lijia Village gave Uncle Li Wu another severe scolding.

Uncle Li smiled apologetically and begged the brigade leader to think of a solution, after all, they were from the same clan.

The brigade leader sighed heavily. "Our brigade leaders are always united. I told them yesterday that if anyone from the commune comes, they must not say anything they shouldn't say."

"Yesterday I asked you to deliver some things to each household, did you do it? For the sake of the things, we're always helping you out as your own people."

Although Uncle Li was heartbroken, he still nodded with a smile.

Yesterday, he had his wife give five eggs to each household that witnessed the entire event, which is quite generous in the village, considering how many people saw it yesterday.

Uncle Li felt a little relieved.

"Oh no, Captain!" A child ran up to the office, panting.

The brigade leader frowned and scolded, "Don't shout! What happened? Did Chen Zhiqing's mother bring the commune people here?"

The child shook his head vigorously, his breath coming in ragged gasps, "No, no~"

The brigade leader breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it's not someone from the commune, we're not afraid of whoever it is."

Child: "The police have arrived."

The captain was shocked. "What? The police? They actually dared to call the police."

The captain circled the office, then tried to leave, only to be blocked by Uncle Li Wu, who was rushing out of his way in a panic.

"Get out of here! If it weren't for the trouble your family caused, our brigade wouldn't have been targeted by the police. Who knows how other brigades would laugh at me if I went to meetings in the future!"

He angrily pushed Uncle Li aside and walked in the direction the child had indicated.

"Captain!" Uncle Li was trembling all over. Was his Dazhuang going to be arrested?

That damned Chen Zhiqing, if his son Dazhuang really goes to a labor camp, he will never let her go. Uncle Li Wu's eyes were sinister.

When the captain met Grandma Xia and the two police officers, they were asking for directions.

The person being questioned was so nervous that he stammered, pointing in the direction the captain had come from. Just then, he saw him and exclaimed, "Our captain is here!"

The brigade leader quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am the brigade leader of Lijia Village Brigade. May I ask your name?"

"My surname is Zhang."

"My last name is Cui."

Captain: "Officer Zhang, Officer Cui, hello, may I ask what brings you here today...?"

Officer Zhang: "We came to investigate after receiving a report."
