Chapter 232: Chapter 213: Not Picky at All_2 Captain Lu gave Qin a deep look, then signaled Xiao Wang with a glance. The group then left. However, after they got into the car, they didn’t drive off immediately. Instead, they waited for their colleagues to bring Mrs. Li over before they all drove away together. Once the cars had gone, the crowd came to their senses. They really couldn’t figure it out. “What’s going on here? Why did the police take Mrs. Li away too?” Old Lady Wang in the crowd, still resentful about Huang Cuihua testifying last time, blurted out upon hearing this: “What else could it be when they’re both taken away by the police? They must have been having an affair... that’s why they were arrested. Otherwise, why would they be arrested out of the blue?” Her words were like poking a hornet’s nest. Before the crowd could react, Huang Cuihua was furious. She locked eyes with Old Lady Wang hidden among the people. Enraged, she charged towards Old Lady Wang in the crowd. “You old hypocrite, spreading rumors here? I’ll rip your filthy mouth apart...” Old Lady Wang, seeing the person charging at her, was terrified. She hastily tried to dodge, but it was too late. In the next instant, she felt a sharp pain on her scalp and, before she could react, was grabbed by the hair and thrown onto the ground to be beaten. “I’ll kill you, you old hypocrite, always with your filthy mouth. Your own son was shot dead, and now you want others to end up like your son, don’t you?” Huang Cuihua pounced on Old Lady Wang’s plump body and began pounding her fists onto her head. Old Lady Wang, being older than Huang Cuihua and out of shape from years of not working, couldn’t defend herself. She lacked the strength to fight back and could only scream in pain, “Help, she’s killing someone...” Huang Cuihua, in a fit of rage, was not willing to stop and continued the one-sided beating. The crowd was dumbstruck by this scene, having not expected things to escalate to violence so quickly. Now what? The crowd looked at each other... Should they step in to break up the fight? But when they saw that both women’s daughters-in-law were standing idly by, the eagerness to intervene waned. Normally, Qin Fugui, upon seeing such a scene, would have stepped in to fight without hesitation. But ever since Qin Fulin’s incident, he had been unusually timid, now avoiding getting involved in fights for fear of being arrested. Rong Yan watched the commotion with cold indifference, then stepped away. Midway, she encountered her mother rushing over. She stopped her, “Mom, where are you going?” Madam Rong quickly asked, “Yanyan, I heard someone got arrested... is that true? Who was it?” Seeing her mother’s expression, Rong Yan’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. It seems human nature is consistent; everyone is so nosy. “It was Qin Shouwang who was taken away by the police. Then Old Lady Wang mouthed off and got beaten down by Huang Cuihua... There’s nothing worth seeing here, let’s just go home to avoid any trouble.” Madam Rong’s face was a picture of shock, and then something came to her mind, her gaze landing on her daughter’s face. After swallowing, she glanced around, realizing it was only them, with no third party present. She then asked in a hushed voice, “Yanyan, did you have a hand in this?” Just a few days ago, she had talked about taking down the team leader. And now that team leader actually ran into trouble, it couldn’t be such a coincidence. Rong Yan shook her head and said without changing her expression, “It wasn’t me.” She was telling the truth; she wasn’t the one who called the police since it was Qin Ye who had done it. Madam Rong scrutinized her daughter’s face with suspicion. “Really? It wasn’t you?” How could it be such a coincidence that trouble happened right after she spoke out just a few days ago. Rong Yan’s demeanor showed no hint of fluctuation, “Really, it wasn’t me. Come on, let’s go home.” “Alright.” Madam Rong didn’t dwell on it any longer; after all, this wasn’t the place for a talk. They could discuss it properly when they got home. The mother and daughter quickly returned home. Rong Wenming was sitting in the courtyard and upon seeing them return together, he asked, “What happened in the village?” Madam Rong was quick to speak up, “That Captain Qin was arrested by the public security, I just asked my daughter, and she said it wasn’t her doing.” Rong Wenming was genuinely surprised to hear this. The team leader was arrested? What’s going on? His gaze fell on his own daughter, seeing her composed demeanor. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Was it Qin who reported him?” Madam Rong:...? She looked towards her own daughter. Rong Yan hadn’t expected her own dad to guess so quickly, so she nodded her head. “It must have been him! Just ask him when he comes back tonight.” Rong Wenming had already concluded that it was his son-in-law who had done the deed, but if the public security had come to arrest that team leader, then the team leader must have made some mistakes himself. Madam Rong:... “You and your husband are really something, this... If their family knows, won’t they come here?” Rong Yan immediately said, “Mom, don’t worry about this. If they’ve made a mistake, what’s wrong with us reporting it? We’re doing a good deed! We’re upholding justice.” Madam Rong:...”So should we reward you for it?” Yet she didn’t voice the words out loud. Rong Wenming agreed with his daughter, “Yanyan is right, if he hadn’t made mistakes, we wouldn’t be able to report him. Since it’s the truth, it’s indeed upholding justice, and they have even less reason to come after us.” “Ah, I can’t argue with you two, I’m off to work.” Madam Rong had come to understand as well, and besides, she wasn’t one to shun trouble. If Huang Cuihua didn’t come, so be it, but if she actually brought her whole family to make a fuss at their house, then Madam Rong wouldn’t take it lying down. Whether they came in standing or left being thrown out horizontally didn’t matter. Qin Family Village started to buzz again, the topic so engrossing that many lost interest in their work. After all, Qin Shouwang had been their village’s team leader for so many years, how could he just be arrested by the public security agency so suddenly? And why was Mrs. Li taken away at the same time—what was their relationship? Why take them both simultaneously? These questions tormented them, scratching at their hearts, yet they couldn’t find out anything. In the afternoon, Rong Yan still went out for a stroll, but she quickly returned, already informed that someone from the commune had been chosen as the interim team leader, and it turned out to be Qin Fangcai, the former leader of the second team. She knew nothing about this man, so during dinner, she brought it up with Qin Ye. “How is this person?” Qin Ye contemplated for a bit, then gave a four-character assessment, “Not good, not bad.” Rong Yan’s lips curled up at the answer, her interest waned. However, Madam Rong was very curious about how her son-in-law had gone about reporting, but seeing the twins still there... she forcefully swallowed her question, planning to ask after the twins finished dinner and went to practice writing. Qin Yu and Qin Mei were indeed very curious upon hearing that the team leader had suddenly been replaced, but seeing their elder brother had no intention of discussing it, they stopped caring. After all, those people had nothing to do with them. After the family finished their dinner. Madam Rong sent the twins to go write, and once they had left, she quickly asked, “Qin, how did you report it?” Qin Ye, seeing how curious his mother-in-law was, simply recounted the story. Madam Rong was extremely astonished after hearing it. Good heavens, could there really be such a situation? “Captain Qin is much older than Mrs. Li, right?” And Qin Shouwang had a family of his own. That’s really not being picky. And how come no one discovered this for so many years?
