Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 300 - 299: Why Are You So Ruthless?

On the other side, Qian Chunli and Lin Yu emerged from the police station with gloomy faces, unable to see anyone now.

The only option left was to see if they could plead with Lin Xia to look the other way.

Lin Yu felt a huge relief at not having seen Lin Qiang.

Given Lin Qiang’s personality, had they met, he would have definitely said it was she who instructed him to do it.

Then her mom would have hated her to death!

But, if Lin Qiang were interrogated and mentioned her involvement, wouldn’t she also get arrested...

At that moment, Lin Yu felt extremely worried and scared; she deeply regretted why she had instigated Lin Qiang to commit arson.

If it weren’t for this, would she and Lin Qiang not have to face the situation they were in now?

Qian Chunli seemed as if her energy had been completely drained, walking unsteadily.

Her son was her life!

She had been on tenterhooks for a long time after the last detention.

It had taken a long while for Qiangzi to recover after he was released.

Would he be sentenced this time?

Suddenly, Qian Chunli fiercely slapped Lin Yu, who was walking with her head down beside her!

"Slap!" Lin Yu, unprepared, took the blow hard.

With tears in her eyes, she covered her face and asked aggrievedly, "Mom! Why did you hit me?"

Qian Chunli yelled hoarsely at her, "You tell me why I hit you! Would Qiangzi have gone after Lin Xia if it weren’t for you? You got him into this mess!"

She was immensely heartbroken; thinking back carefully, the last detention was also because of her "good daughter" who had heard from someone else about Lin Xia setting up a stall in the greenhouse, and that’s why they went there.

As a result, not only did they fail to deal with that wretch Lin Xia, but they also ended up in detention.

This time was no different!

If it weren’t for the trouble Lin Yu caused, could Lin Aiguo have plotted to deceive her into returning home and then severely beat her?

Lin Yu hurriedly defended herself, "Mom! You can’t blame it all on me! I didn’t know he would really help me take revenge!"

Could Qian Chunli not understand her own daughter?

"Without you stirring things up behind the scenes, Qiangzi would never have gone! I never told him anything about Lin Xia and the others, fearing he would hear it and impulsively cause trouble! Lin Yu, you really got your brother into trouble this time!"

She felt waves of panic—what if her son really got sentenced?

Lin Yu sobbed, "Mom! I really didn’t expect Qiangzi to do this! I’m also anxious that he got caught! It’s just a theft; how severe could the sentence be? Maybe he’ll be detained for a few days and then released!"

In her heart, she silently thought, this time Qiangzi really suffered because of her; she would definitely make it up to him in the future.

Qian Chunli shrieked, "A few days of detention—do you decide that! Lin Yu! I tell you, if Qiangzi gets sentenced, don’t you ever consider me your mother! I don’t have a daughter like you!"

If it were just detention, that would still be fine, but she feared things would take a worse turn.

Lin Xia bit her lower lip; she knew her mom said these things in anger, "Mom! Let’s still think of a way, see who can help us pull Qiangzi out!"

Qian Chunli thought of the people she could reach out to, but being practically blind in this city among strangers, who could she turn to?

Lin Yu also thought about the people she knew; besides Miao Xue, she only knew Chen Gang.

She couldn’t approach Miao Xue, but Chen Gang was on good terms with Miao Xue. If she rashly sought him out, would he be willing to help?

Suddenly, Lin Yu had an idea, "Mom! Why don’t we go and see Lin Xia? Didn’t they say she didn’t suffer much damage with that neighbor? We could nicely talk and negotiate with them to settle this privately; even if it means compensating them, that should work!"

Qian Chunli gritted her teeth, knowing that seeking out Lin Xia might end in humiliation, but for her son, she was prepared to risk everything!

"Okay! Take me there now! Lin Aiguo should be there!" Mentioning Lin Aiguo made Qian Chunli’s teeth itch with hatred; if he hadn’t hit her daughter, would all these subsequent troubles have arisen?

Qian Chunli and Lin Yu found Lin Xia’s house.

It was Qian Chunli’s first time visiting here, but she had never imagined her visit would happen under such circumstances and in this way.

The gate was open, and Lin Aiguo was busy working with some workers. Seeing Qian Chunli and her daughter entering the yard, his anger surged uncontainably.

Just then, the woman opposite had come to check the guardrail, expressing her interest in getting one installed too. During their chat, she mentioned the events of the previous night.

This Lin Qiang really was despicable, even stooping to stealing from a small store and carrying gasoline, evidently planning to start a fire afterward. Once everything was burned, who would know what all was lost?

Qian Chunli clenched her back teeth, attempting to keep her expression from turning too ferocious and frightening, "Aiguo! Where’s Lin Xia?"

"What do you want with her?" Lin Aiguo asked coldly.

Qian Chunli forced a smile, "I came to beg for mercy on her behalf, considering we are all one family after all. Could you let Qiangzi off this one time... Once Qiangzi gets out, we will do anything to repay her!"

Right now, she didn’t care about anything else but figuring out how to get her son out without him suffering or getting beaten up in there.

"Yes! Dad! Lin Qiang was just momentarily misguided; he definitely won’t cause trouble for Lin Xia and their family again!" Lin Yu hastily added, trying to make a good impression.

Now was not the time to hold onto any grudge, getting Lin Qiang out was the priority.

Lin Aiguo knew Lin Xia was inside, looking at the protective bars on the rear window. He had no intention of letting these two into the house.

"What’s the use of talking to her now? Lin Qiang didn’t just break into her house; he also broke into the shop opposite.

Besides, the police station isn’t owned by anyone here, so can they just release someone because you say so?"

He hated Lin Qiang deeply, remembering how he had been injured at the back of his head during an assault. If it hadn’t been for the embarrassment, he would have called the police to lock the boy up right then.

Thus, now that he was arrested, Lin Aiguo felt no inclination to help but rather thought it served him right and it was about time!

"But in the end, there wasn’t any major loss, right? Whatever is broken or missing, we will compensate! We are, after all, still family!"

Qian Chunli recalled that her son and another boy hadn’t actually managed to steal anything and thought privately settling with some money shouldn’t be a big issue.

"Only now you think of us as one family!" Lin Aiguo snapped, "When you were picking locks and plotting to burn down our house last night, why didn’t you think of that? Qian Chunli, let me tell you, this talk is useless with us! Go speak to the police station and see how they judge!"

He had indeed not acted properly before and hadn’t treated the children well.

But now he wanted to live a peaceful life, with everyone minding their own businesses.

Yet who knew that Lin Yu and Lin Qiang would still try to scheme against Lin Xia’s family, almost setting their house on fire this time. He had to stand by his own children.

Qian Chunli looked at Lin Aiguo, furious and anxious, as he completely stood by doing nothing. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Aiguo! How can you be so harsh! No matter what, I’ve been with you for so many years, and Qiangzi has called you ’Dad’ for years! Even if he did something wrong, you can’t just..."
