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

Finally, they also asked Zhao Erlaizi where he had any more money, promising leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist.

Zhao Erlaizi stared blankly, then shook his head. Everything had really been dug up. None of the points he knew had been overlooked, and many points he didn't know had also been revealed.

Fortunately, he's an optimistic person; after all, there was money left at home.

Aunt Li had been glaring at the group of people making sarcastic remarks for a long time, but she didn't dare to make a move because the police were there.

But she still couldn't accept that her son was handcuffed with silver bracelets. As the two police officers searched through the stolen money, Aunt Li Wu spoke up beside them.

"Officer Zhang, my son really doesn't gamble. This must have been stolen by Zhao Erlaizi."

Zhao Erlaizi: "How could I steal something and still get an IOU?"

"Officer Zhang, my son is such an honest person, he would never break the law. You have to investigate thoroughly. Look at my son, he's all height and no brains, how could he possibly be capable of committing a crime?"

Zhao Erlaizi: "If they really come to arrest people, they'll just run away. They're not exactly brainless."

"Officer Cui, our family can't function without him. I'm in poor health, and his father isn't very capable either. We're all relying on him."

Zhao Erlaizi: "Your other two sons were adopted? Oh, no, with your character, they must have been stolen, right?"

"Officer Cui, he's getting married soon, he really can't be arrested, how will that girl live after this?"

Zhao Erlaizi: "As long as you let that girl go, she'll definitely live a better life than if she married your son. Besides, I think she probably won't even marry into your family."

For every word Aunt Li said, he would retort.

Enraged, she retorted, "Zhao Erlaizi, if it weren't for your despicable intentions, my son wouldn't have been arrested. You're just up to no good, trying to drag someone down with you."

Zhao Erlaizi: "Even if I had ill intentions, as long as your son is an honest person, why would I drag him down as a scapegoat? Don't you know your own son? He's a coward who bullies his own family."

Aunt Li Wu: "Bullshit! You're a jinx, bringing misfortune to your father, mother, and others. You lost your father at birth, your mother started getting sick, your older brother lost his job because of you, and your sister-in-law ran away to her parents' home because of you. A person like you should have been strangled at birth."

Zhao Erlaizi hated it most when people talked about his misfortune. He had suffered countless scornful looks because of it since he was a child. Although people didn't say it out loud, they all thought so in private. Aunt Li Wu even said it in front of so many people, wishing she could curse him to die immediately.

Zhao Erlaizi was furious. "Officer, this old hag is spreading rumors about me and propagating feudal superstitions. Aren't you going to arrest her?"

Although Zhao Erlaizi is a scoundrel, he still has some legal awareness after fighting wits with the police for so long.

These days, they're cracking down hard on feudal superstition!

Officer Zhang stared expressionlessly at Aunt Li, who was spouting outrageous nonsense. Despite her small stature, she could utter astonishingly vulgar language, yet she knew nothing about policies or laws, and was incredibly audacious.

They had already earned enough for their performance bonuses that day, so they didn't want to deal with these unintentional insults and decided to let it go.

Although it's a crackdown, they've already arrested Li Zhuang. If they arrest his mother too, wouldn't their family's reputation be even worse?

The whole family are convicts!

But now that it's been said so bluntly, it doesn't seem right to ignore it.

Officer Cui gave Officer Zhang a wink, and Officer Zhang pulled out another pair of handcuffs and cuffed Aunt Li, who was cursing, with a snap.

Aunt Li Wu stared, mouth agape, dumbfounded.

No, why are they really arresting her? This Zhao Erlaizi just said something and they arrested her. Could it be that the two police officers are in cahoots with him?

Was this a setup targeting their family?

Old Mrs. Zhao burst into tears, and as she cried, she uttered all the words that were on her mind.
