Reborn in the 1990s, I want my husband to live to be a hundred.

"Hey, Xiuzhen, don't rush off." Seeing Xiuzhen about to leave, He Taoxiu quickly called out to her.

"Mom, what would you like to eat? Tell me, I'll go buy it." Deng Xiuzhen obediently walked to He Taoxiu's side.

"Let your sister-in-law come in, it's quite cold outside," He Taoxiu gestured with her chin and instructed.

Deng Xiuzhen didn't move. She didn't care about letting Song Yuanxiang in, but she had to show her emotions so that others would know she was aware of the situation and was still angry.

"We're all brothers, don't be so stingy. We're family, harmony brings wealth," He Taoxiu said earnestly.

Deng Xiuzhen didn't move, only saying, "If Mom has nothing else to do, I'll go buy groceries first."

"How dare you talk to your mother like that? Don't you have any manners?" Deng Xiumei was very dissatisfied with Deng Xiuzhen's attitude. She pointed at Deng Xiuzhen and yelled, almost jumping up.

Deng Xiuzhen ignored her, rolled her eyes, and prepared to leave again.

"You didn't even ask why Mom came today?" Deng Chunsheng finally spoke up.

“Didn’t Mom say she missed me and came to see me?” Deng Xiuzhen said sincerely.

“Of course, I came to see you. But there’s something else I need to tell you,” He Taoxiu said.

Deng Xiuzhen remained silent. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy moves, I'll respond.

"Your brother's run into some trouble. Go and help get him out." He Taoxiu was getting impatient. She felt that this girl had completely changed since the last incident, as if she wanted to cut off all ties with her family.

Chunlin and Yuanxiang were wrong about what happened last time, but if she hadn't refused to lend them money, would they have needed to do that?

And didn't Chunlin and the others end up with nothing?

If a daughter doesn't contribute to her family's income, what's the point of having a daughter?

Think about how she deliberately included her character "秀" in her two daughters' names; that took her heart into it. She wanted to tell others that her daughters were important and that no one should try to bully them.

Over the years, no one has dared to bully her daughter. If anyone dares to say a harsh word to her, she will scold them for days.

Even after her two daughters got married, they continued to take good care of their parents' family, which made her very respected in the village.

Whenever someone talks about their daughters, she can proudly mention her two daughters, Xiuzhen and Xiumei, whom she raised to be excellent daughters who spared no effort for their maternal family.

Sigh, I don't know why Xiao Xiu has become so disobedient. He Tao Xiu felt a little frustrated.

Deng Xiuzhen remained silent. She had grievances against her brother and sister-in-law, and she wanted to make them public.

"Did you hear what Mom said?" Deng Xiumei stood up and pointed at Deng Xiuzhen's nose.

Deng Xiuzhen glanced at her, walked to the side, and ignored her completely.

"Xiuzhen!" He Taoxiu was angry, her tone was harsh and vicious.

"Yes!" Deng Xiuzhen answered crisply and clearly, as if she couldn't hear He Taoxiu's voice.

"Your brother is locked up. You need to get the money and find someone to rescue her!" He Taoxiu couldn't hold back any longer and simply said it.

"Brother's been locked up? Why? Did he go and cheat people out of money again? I told you, cheating people out of money is wrong, it'll cause problems sooner or later." Deng Xiuzhen didn't mention using money to save people, she only mentioned the bad things Deng Chunlin had done.

"You damned woman! I'll beat you to death!" He Taoxiu took off one of her shoes and threw it at Deng Xiuzhen.

Deng Xiuzhen nimbly dodged.

"Mom!" Deng Chunsheng stopped He Taoxiu, desperately trying to signal her with his eyes.

"Xiuzhen, your brother lent money at exorbitant interest rates, and when he couldn't get the money back, he beat up the lender."

Then they devised a dirty trick to make your brother commit a crime, and he got arrested. He's being held in the local police station.

We came to find you because we heard from Qin Yanxiang that you are acquainted with the head of the police station.

Please do me a favor and save your brother.

Deng Xiuzhen's father, Deng Kaihuai, said.

“Dad, how could someone like me, who just came from the countryside, be familiar with any police chief? Don’t listen to that Yanxiang’s nonsense,” Deng Xiuzhen replied. She knew that Deng Chunlin’s matter wasn’t that simple, but she didn’t need to pursue it further, as long as she didn’t become the sucker.

"Forget it, let's go to the police station to see my brother first." Deng Chunsheng knew that saying more would be pointless, so he simply tried to smooth things over.

The group then went to the police station.

"Sister Deng, what brings you here?" She ran into Tian Guoqiang as soon as she arrived at the police station.

"Oh, sir, no, officer, hello! I'm Deng Xiuzhen's mother, and I've come here specifically to see you," He Taoxiu greeted him with a smile.

Tian Guoqiang looked at He Taoxiu, then at Deng Xiuzhen. Deng Xiuzhen blinked, glanced at He Taoxiu, and lowered her head without saying a word.

"Your name is Deng Xiuzhen, not Deng Jie?" Tian Guoqiang asked.

"Yes, my name is Deng Xiuzhen."

"I thought your name was Deng Jie. I was just about to tell you: there's still some paperwork to be done about your child biting someone last time. Now that you're here, you should hurry up and get it done."

"Go home and give your child a good talking-to, so he won't cause any more trouble!" Tian Guoqiang said sternly.

"I know, I know, I'll take care of it right away. I'm sorry to trouble you!" Deng Xiuzhen said in a humble and obsequious manner.

"Xiao Hai, you take her to do this!" Tian Guoqiang said, turning and leaving.

He Xiaohai led Deng Xiuzhen inside.

He Taoxiu wanted to go with them, but He Xiaohai stopped her.

He politely said, "Please wait here."

Deng Xiuzhen followed He Xiaohai into a room and found Tian Guoqiang sitting inside.

She immediately expressed her gratitude to Tian Guoqiang and He Xiaohai.

After He Xiaohai left, Deng Xiuzhen told Tian Guoqiang about her family coming to see her.

Tian Guoqiang asked her, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Deng Xiuzhen said apologetically, "I know my brother. I won't pry into his affairs so as not to put you in a difficult position. We'll handle things as they are. The law is just. He should take responsibility for his mistakes."

I just wanted to ask if you could help me by letting my family know that I'm not familiar with you, don't have any money, and really can't help me.

Of course, I really don't know you guys well, and I really can't help it. It's just that they don't believe me.

Every family has its own problems; I hope you can understand.

Tian Guoqiang smiled and said, "It's not difficult to avoid doing things that violate principles. This is easy to handle. You go and talk to them about Qin Wenjing's hospitalization last time."

I'll let Dongliang know, and he'll call you over later. Bring your family along; come and tell them about how you were scammed.

After saying that, he prepared to leave, but then thought for a moment and added, "You guys are really stupid, buying things without even asking questions. You must have lost a fortune! Luckily, you learned your lesson this time and didn't get involved in your brother's business. You're not completely naive after all." Then he left.

Deng Xiuzhen was left with a complete mess of thoughts. She thought to herself that it was fortunate she hadn't come to plead for mercy, otherwise she might have been labeled as both stupid and muddle-headed. And judging from the situation, even if she did plead, it would be of no use.

Deng Xiuzhen returned dejectedly.

He Taoxiu quickly ran to her side and asked, "Aren't you familiar with the people at the police station? What did the child do that brought you to the police station? What were you doing just now? Which child bit whom?"

Deng Xiuzhen sighed, her face full of worry, and said, "Last time Wenjing got into a fight and bit someone. It even ended up at the police station, and the medical treatment cost a lot of money..."
