Chapter 158 What to Cook
"Where are you going? Your wife is still here." The people in Lanjia Village were talking about it.
Li Shuigen's mother was moved under the shade of a tree. Some villagers took out a large sunflower fan to fan her, hoping that she would wake up sooner. Seeing her husband turning around and about to leave, she couldn't help but call out to him.
"I'm going home." Li Shuigen's father said viciously.
"Your spouse is still here, don't you want him/her anymore?" someone asked immediately.
Li Shuigen's father pointed at the mother and daughter standing there stupidly, and said with disgust: "Aren't they here? They can just go back together."
"That won't work. What if you run away and leave someone unconscious and blackmail us?"
The villagers were not stupid either. Seeing this family coming to their Lanjia Village and trying to get Lan Xin to give them money by talking about all sorts of things, they just wanted to frame them and extort money out of anger. If anything happened to them, they would definitely dig it up and suck the money out of it.
When he thought of this, his passionate heart died down, and he stuffed the fan directly into Li Shuigen's father's arms. "You are a family, and you should take care of her."
After saying that, the people who had originally surrounded Li Shuigen’s mother dispersed and continued to watch from a distance of several meters.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you fan her?"
Li Shuigen's father, who couldn't leave, threw the fan into his daughter-in-law's arms in a rage, and then she threw it at the two little girls. Finally, the two little girls shrank their thin bodies and squatted beside Li Shuigen's mother to fan her.
It's both sad and infuriating to watch.
Lan Xin turned around and went back into the house to get a bowl of cold water, and said stiffly: "Feed her a few mouthfuls, maybe she will wake up." She didn't want this person to remain unconscious at her doorstep. Although Lan Xin was not afraid, she was also very annoyed that so many people were gathered here, delaying her work.
"Who wants your water?" Li Shuigen's wife said angrily, wanting to throw the bowl away. Lan Xin looked at her coldly: "Before you smash the bowl, I hope you can think of how to return the money to me."
Upon hearing this, she withdrew her hand awkwardly. In the end, the two little girls reached out to take the bowl and carefully fed water to Li Shuigen's mother.
Perhaps she had recovered, and after drinking some water, Li Shuigen's mother woke up. She looked around blankly, and after remembering where she was, she wanted to continue making a fuss, but her husband pulled her back harshly, without caring at all that she had just woken up.
"Go home as soon as you wake up." said Li Shuigen's father.
Li Shuigen's mother's eyes lit up. She approached her husband with joy on her face and asked in a low voice, "Is it done?"
She believed in her husband's ability very much. He would definitely take advantage of her coma to make a fortune. Thinking of this, Li Shuigen's mother was very happy.
Li Shuigen's father rolled his eyes at her, turned around and left. This time, the people of Lanjia Village did not stop them. However, after taking a few steps, they were met by the police officers and several cadres from Lanjia Village who had rushed over to the scene. They directly nailed Li Shuigen's father's legs to the ground.
"What happened?" One of the experienced police officers asked with a stern face.
The Li family members immediately started to sob and whimper, not daring to make any sound, not even to cry, and they did not look like they did just now.
As soon as they saw the police officers, the three adults' legs went limp and they almost collapsed to the ground, while the two children's clear eyes were filled with fear and panic.
When Lan Xin was asked questions, she told everything directly. Everyone was watching and judging the right and wrong. She had a scale in her heart and her eyes were bright.
Sure enough, after some investigation, the two police officers looked directly at the Li family and gave a profound education to the adults.
Although the two policemen were young and had a good attitude, in the eyes of the local people, they were like big tigers and sweat kept coming out of their bodies.
The police officers sighed. There were no regulations for these matters. There was no such thing as false accusation or crime of disturbing public order as Lan Xin had mentioned. They just educated them and let them go.
However, looking at their sweaty appearances, Lan Xin believed that they would definitely remember this scene deeply in their minds and would not dare to do it again.
"Okay, that's it."
After the education, the police officers were about to say goodbye and go back home. Li Shuigen's mother suppressed her fear and asked tremblingly.
"Um, sir, I want to ask how my son is doing now?"
"Your son?" After asking, the police officer knew that the Li family member in front of him came here to make trouble because his son was caught stealing. He answered seriously with a sullen face.
"Li Shuigen, huh? There have been strict inspections recently. The crime of burglary is very serious. Those who qualify will be sentenced to death by firing squad."
"what!"
Hearing this, the Li family members couldn't help but feel their legs go weak and almost fell to their knees.
"However, your son Li Shuigen was very cooperative. He took the initiative to recognize his mistakes and confessed seriously. In the end, he was probably sentenced to labor reform." After saying that, the older police officer took another look at the people from the Li family who showed relief on their faces, and spoke coldly.
"Of course, if the head of your family is holding him back outside, it's hard to say whether he will be sent to labor camp or sentenced to a typical death by gunfire."
"No, no, no, we won't hold him back! My son can't be shot!" Li Shuigen's mother swore and cried.
This crying was much more serious than before.
The Li family members standing by couldn't help but nod their heads as a guarantee.
"That's good. We haven't decided on the sentence yet. Whether you get shot or not, or how many years of hard labor you get, will depend on the victim's situation. If you continue to bully the victim, we will decide the sentence based on the situation."
After a lecture, the police officers rode away on their bicycles, leaving the Li family members with thoughtful looks on their faces.
They turned to look at Lan Xin and didn't say the last word, but they temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to blackmail her and left in shame.
Only people from Lanjia Village were left at the scene. The villagers who had eaten the melon from beginning to end couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Tsk, these people, it's hard to explain if you talk to them nicely."
"That's right. Why do we have to ask the police to come all the way here?"
"His son stole Lan Xin's family's money, and it was wrong for him in the first place. Why did the head of the family come after Lan Xin? Isn't this just picking on an easy target?"
Like fence-sitters, they began to boast that Lan Xin's approach was correct and that the police should be left to handle the matter.
As they chatted, they realized that this was not a good place to chat - in the middle of summer, there was not enough shade. They decided to go back to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village to continue chatting.
Who knew that at this moment, someone suddenly slurped his saliva and couldn't help asking, "Lan Xin, what did you cook at home? Why does it smell so good?"
