Lin Xiaoyan was on her way ho when she learned that the family of the woman she encountered yesterday hadn’t had any incidents.
Yesterday, when she bumped into that lady, she "saw" a murder case.
The thief, after stealing, didn’t leave but instead slashed the wrists of each family mber three tis.
By the ti the neighbors discovered them the next day, the family of three had already bled to death.
She told He Qi’an about this, however, when He Qi’an interviewed the thief, the thief didn’t show any motive for murder.
Lin Xiaoyan didn’t know the reason, perhaps the thief had a sudden urge to kill...
The only good news was that they discovered from this thief that it was a gang cri.
This gang cri was different from other gang cris.
Because this gang was a bit large!
The group was well organized; so people were assigned to explore various places, looking for suitable families to target.
There was another group of people who were regular employees working in various high-end malls, seeking targets.
Then, specific personnel would approach the target or stake-out, to see if there was an opportunity to act.
If they could act, they would have soone mark it with a special sign nearby.
Finally, designated thieves would enter to steal...
This case imdiately drew the attention of the police everywhere and strict controls were implented in each jurisdiction.
At the sa ti, it beca an opportunity for stringent arrests of various thieves and a thorough investigation on whether there were gang cris behind it.
If these gangs once matured, the harm to society would be imnse.
...
Lin Xiaoyan didn’t continue to follow up on this matter; she, Nan Xi, and her brother finally made it ho.
They had spent a day and a half by car, resting for a night in Fei City along the way. Lin Hao and Nan Xi took turns driving, coupled with frequent traffic jams, making the three quite exhausted.
However, as soon as they got ho, their spirits lifted imdiately.
Lin Hao went straight ho to see his beloved wife.
Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi returned to their parents’ house.
Lin Fu and Lin Mu warmly welcod Nan Xi’s arrival.
Before returning, Lin Xiaoyan had told her family that Nan Xi would be coming back to celebrate the New Year with her.
Lin Fu and Lin Mu knew that Nan Xi was arranged by the state to protect their daughter’s safety, so they were very grateful and welcoming.
Although Lin Hao didn’t know why Nan Xi always followed his sister, since his sister never said anything and didn’t allow questions, and since their parents had no objections, he didn’t say more.
At ho, Lin Xiaoyan was imdiately dragged around by her mother to shop for New Year’s goods.
Every day at ho was lively.
During the New Year, it seed like everyone was carefree. Outside, no matter whom they t, they smiled broadly, exchanging blessings.
Ti flew by, and on the evening of the thirtieth, after dinner, Lin Xiaoyan finally had so free ti.
"Mom, tomorrow is the first day, are we going back to our hotown?" Lin Xiaoyan asked.
Upon hearing about returning to their hotown, Lin Mu’s face darkened, "No."
Seeing her mother’s expression, Lin Xiaoyan asked, "What’s wrong?"
Lin Mu said, "It’s about your Aunt-in-law; the land at ho is all fard by her. I haven’t asked her for anything, yet she’s still unsatisfied and asks your dad for money for seeds, fertilizer..."
Lin Xiaoyan expressed that it was a long story after hearing this.
"How much are the seeds and fertilizer in total?"
Lin Mu replied, looking speechless, "Three hundred yuan."
Lin Xiaoyan:......
"When I rent my land to others, they don’t just tell how much they’ll pay annually, at the very least they would give so grain.
Giving it to your Aunt-in-law to farm, there’s no grain, no money, and I still have to cover the expenses!"
"Now I live here, far away from your Aunt-in-law, it’s quite refreshing!
Back when we lived in our hotown, we had daily quarrels with your father because of their family affairs.
Last year your brother got married, we went back to our hotown for New Year. This year I asked your sister-in-law, she said she doesn’t want to go back either.
Tomorrow let’s go out instead, let’s not go back. etings with your Aunt-in-law just end up in endless aningless discussions, leaving us angry."
When it ca to her Aunt-in-law, Lin Xiaoyan sighed secretly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has been difficult since ancient tis, and even though the Lin family doesn’t have in-law issues, there are sister-in-laws.
Sister-in-law relations can also be extrely difficult to handle.
Lin Fu has a brother and a sister; the sister was married far away and barely in touch.
Just this one brother, they had a good relationship as kids, but things changed after he got married.
It was just because Uncle Lin’s wife is not only sowhat shrewd but also loves to take advantage.
She wants everything for their family; Lin Fu doesn’t mind stuff being taken to their ho, but Aunt-in-law values her own brothers more.
After marrying into the family, Lin Mu suffered a lot of bullying from the sister-in-law.
She had a stomach full of resentnt whenever she talked about it.
"I’ve been discussing with your dad recently, when you get married, not telling your Uncle and Aunt-in-law, just invite them for the wedding reception afterward."
Lin Xiaoyan felt awkward when her mom ntioned marriage, not knowing how to respond.
"What marriage? It’s still early, why talk about it now..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mu frowned, "Early? Xiao He called your dad a few days ago, said his family wants to co visit and discuss your engagent."
"What?! What, what, what!!!"
Lin Xiaoyan looked at her mom incredulously, "Who? He Qi’an called my dad?!"
Lin Mu: "Yes, what’s wrong? You didn’t know?"
Lin Xiaoyan: "I didn’t know! Why does he have my dad’s number? He actually called my dad?!"
Lin Mu looked at her daughter, asking seriously, "Yanyan, do you like Xiao He? Do you want to marry him?
Although your dad and I think he’s quite good, we will definitely respect your choice.
Didn’t he co to our house before? That ti he asked your dad for the phone number, and he checks in with us from ti to ti.
Also, before this, Xiao He sent us Beijing specialties, even included your uncles and aunts..."
Listening to her mom, Lin Xiaoyan was stunned, she had no idea He Qi’an had done so much...
"I...I didn’t know..." Lin Xiaoyan mumbled.
Lin Mu looked at her daughter surprised, "You didn’t know Xiao He sent us things?"
"I didn’t know."
Seeing her daughter’s bewildered expression, Lin Mu sighed, thinking Xiao He was genuinely good.
"So what do you think? Should we invite Xiao He’s family over to visit?" Lin Mu asked.
Lin Xiaoyan put the sunflower seeds into the plate, her face a bit lost.
"I’m not sure. It feels a bit too fast.
He ntioned this when I left, but..."
Lin Xiaoyan looked at her mom, "Mom, isn’t it too fast? We’ve only known each other for less than half a year..."
