Officer Zhang, with a blank expression, placed the three people together. "If you have any objections, you can file a complaint against us at the Public Security Bureau. If you think we colluded with Zhao Qiang, you are also free to submit evidence to overturn the case. But right now, the evidence we have for arresting these people is conclusive, and we did not collude with anyone."

The brigade leader glared fiercely at Aunt Li Wu, that damned old woman who was dragging his family down. He thought that if she kept cursing, her whole family would be arrested and she would behave herself.

Aunt Li stopped cursing, but fearing she would really be sent to a labor camp, she cried out in terror, "Officers, I really didn't mean it. I just have a bad mouth, but I really didn't mean to spread feudal superstitions!"

"I heard these words from the people in Zhao Family Village. If they hadn't told me, how would I have known about Zhao Erlaizi's background? I just repeated a few words from them, so why are they arresting me?"

“Everyone in our Lijia Village brigade has heard these words, and they’ve said them before. Why are you singled out and arresting me? Tell me, didn’t you all say those things?”

Aunt Li was completely distraught. She had just been heartbroken that her son, whom she had raised with such care, had been arrested, and now she was even more worried about herself. She was a selfish person by nature, and her son was still far inferior to her.

This time, Li Zhuang caused her to be arrested as well, and she felt a little dislike for him, thinking that this son was there to bring her bad luck.

Upon hearing this, the villagers who were watching immediately began to chatter in rebuttal.

Aunt Li Wu got arrested for her foul mouth, but how dare she drag them down with her?

They can chat freely and without any taboos in private, but when facing the police, they dare not utter a single word.

Let alone cursing like Aunt Li, they wouldn't even dare to speak loudly. They are honest and upright comrades, how could they give up in front of the police?

Aunt Li herself is not very bright, but they are very clever.

"Fifth Aunt, we've never heard of such things before."

"That's right, that's right. Although Zhao Erlaizi is not a good person, it has nothing to do with what he brings bad luck. He lost his father when he was young, his mother was sick, and he was useless. He's already pitiful enough. How can you still scold him like this?"

"How would we know what the Zhao Family Village brigade is saying? They're quite a distance away from here. Why would we listen to their conversation?"

"As far as I know, the people in Lijia Village have had no connection with the people in Zhaojia Village in recent years when they get married. In our entire brigade, only your family's Li Zhuang has any dealings with Zhao Erlaizi because of gambling, right?"

"Don't frame us. We're just honest farmers. We wouldn't say such nonsense."

Aunt Li was furious. Although she was a swaggering and arrogant person in the brigade, the villagers who were now attacking her were no better.

They might be just as venomous as she is.

Now, they all pretend to be honest in front of the police.

Aunt Li was about to start cursing when Officer Zhang interrupted her, "Alright, we need to get back and report. Since you say you didn't say it, and there's no evidence to prove you did, we'll let it go for now. But if it's discovered later, we'll still punish you severely."

The crowd cheered that the police officer was brilliant.

As the two police officers were about to take the three away, Aunt Li struggled, shouting, "I won't go! I won't go! I haven't committed a crime, why are you arresting me? And Chen Xianghong, you filthy bitch, even if my son goes to jail, you're still our daughter-in-law. You have to go to the farm to serve my son."

“Officer, arrest her too. She’s my daughter-in-law. My son has been arrested, so she must be arrested as well. We’re family.”

Aunt Li Wu spoke without thinking.

Chen Xianghong: "Huh?"

For the first time, Old Mrs. Xia glanced at her with disdain. This child only said "Ah" and didn't even scold her. With such words, Old Mrs. Xia could have reasoned and confidently scolded this old hag to death. Chen Xianghong, a high school student, only said "Ah".
