Lin the Fourth and his mother pulled each other for quite a while, but Lin Xiang didn’t relent about letting Mrs. Lin Sr. apologize. The onlookers were happy to see the Lin Family suffer, so naturally, no one spoke up for her. Mrs. Lin Sr.’s eyes were filled with tears, retreating to advance, "Girl, Grandma apologizes to you. Today Grandma was wrong..." "Indeed, you were wrong, not teaching your son well, and indulging him in such heinous acts, you are the main culprit!" "We have no choice. Your cousin mentioned a marriage, but the girl’s family is asking for a high dowry, we really can’t scrape together the money, so we were thinking about asking for your help..." "No way, no way! Lin Hai is a few months younger than me, not even of age, and he’s getting married? Could it be that he committed a loutish act, and the girl’s family is forcing him to marry?" Upon hearing this, Lin the Fourth’s family’s faces turned ugly. Lin Hai was touched at a sore spot, pointing a stick at Lin Xiang: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe I’ll beat you?" "Oh dear, I’m so scared!" Lin Xiang deliberately patted her chest, but there was no trace of fear on her face, "Your family always says I don’t respect elders, but look who’s talking! Not even married yet and daring to lay hands on your own sister, after marriage who knows if you’ll beat your wife and children too?" "If your father-in-law’s family stands up for your wife, would you even beat them too?" Lin Hai angrily said: "How dare you call yourself my sister!" Lin Xiang spread her hands, "You all heard, Lin Hai doesn’t recognize me as his sister, so where do you get the face to come to my family for money? Even if we had money, we wouldn’t be willing to lend it to you!" Lin the Fourth glared at Lin Hai: "Useless troublemaker! Get lost!" "Lin Xiang, you sold that job for 800 yuan, we’re not asking for the whole 800, just give us half, 400. If you don’t give this money, your brother can’t get married, you’re the main culprit!" Lin Xiang let Mrs. Lin sit properly, then stood up and yelled at the team leader: "I’m reporting, I’m reporting Lin Hai for committing a loutish crime!" The team leader’s forehead twitched violently: "Girl, stop messing around!" "Am I messing around? Not to mention I don’t have 800 yuan, even if I did, what right does he have asking me for money? Anyway, their purpose for the money is to gather dowry for Lin Hai to marry, wouldn’t it be better to let Lin Hai, the rogue girl-bullier, go to prison, then our Li Hua Team can have peace!" Lin the Fourth’s wife shouted loudly: "Who says my Lin Hai got someone pregnant? Lin Xiang, stop fabricating nonsense!" Not listening, not listening, the turtle is chanting scripture! No matter what the purpose is for Lin Hai to marry before he’s of age, Lin Xiang must sink her teeth in and not let go! If that girl’s family is sensible, knowing the consequences, they would decisively cut ties with Lin the Fourth’s family, and save their own daughter. If they are aware of Lin the Fourth’s family’s nature yet want to marry their daughter over, they can only say they are birds of a feather! "Team leader, Lin Xiang has brought up the loutish crime, aren’t you going to intervene?" The team leader’s headache was about to explode. How would he intervene? Even without mentioning Lin Xiang having leadership backing, if he plays favorites, with Lin Xiang’s temper, she would definitely take the opportunity to go and report in town. He regrets, deeply regrets, coming here to meddle! At this time, Accountant Xu whispered something into the team leader’s ear, and his expression changed instantly. "Who do you say is here?" "Director Chen from the cotton spinning factory, Director Qian from the commune, and... and..." "Township Party Secretary." The team leader’s mind completely exploded. Having Director Chen come was whatever, he’s just a director and can’t interfere in Li Hua Team’s business. But with Director Qian and the Township Party Secretary here, things have developed beyond his control! The team leader vented his displeasure on Lin the Fourth, "Look at the ’good’ things you’ve done!" Lin the Fourth was completely confused. Why did the team leader suddenly change? The team leader couldn’t care what Lin the Fourth thought; he waved at Lin Xiang, indicating her to come over. Lin Xiang lowered her eyes, not bothered to respond. Do they think she is a little dog at their beck and call? But she wondered, didn’t the Secretary say he’d come to Li Hua Team tomorrow? Why is he here so quickly? It can only be said Lin Xiang and Lin Yun’s luck was too good. Lin Yun, having his wounds bandaged, had just come out of the town hospital when the big leader sitting in the car spotted him. The rıghtful source is 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 "That injured one seems to be Lin Xiang’s little brother, right?" The Township Party Secretary glanced at Lin Yun, unfamiliar, didn’t recognize him. "Seems like, I’ve seen him once before. Secretary Wang, go down and ask, see how he got injured, if it has anything to do with Comrade Lin Xiang?" Secretary Wang got out of the car and walked straight to Lin Yun. After exchanging a few words, Lin Yun looked towards the car, through the window glass, Lin Yun and the big leader exchanged a distant glance. Lin Yun couldn’t see who was in the car, facing Secretary Wang’s inquiry, he said truthfully: "My family long broken ties with my fourth uncle and step-grandmother, but hearing that Lin Xiang helped the leadership in town, they sought her out for money, Lin Xiang didn’t give it, so they resorted to violence." Secretary Wang’s pupils widened, "Comrade Lin Xiang got hurt?" "Before I was sent to town unconscious, they merely pressured Lin Xiang under the guise of being elders. After I left, only Lin Xiang and my mom were home, whether they were bullied I don’t know." He was merely stating facts without embellishment. There aren’t many sincere people like him left. Secretary Wang knows Lin Xiang secured a five million order for the cotton spinning factory, she’s now a major contributor to Mianyang Town, let alone the foreign businessmen haven’t left, she still needs to serve as translator, what if something happens? Secretary Wang dared not delay, hurried back to report to the leaders. The Township Party Secretary bristled with anger, "Li Hua Team truly shines! First, there’s arranged marriage, then a robbery for cash, indeed they are remarkable! Xiao Wang, call Director Qian from the commune, have him head to Li Hua Team immediately!" "Yes, I’ll call right away!" The big leader interlaced his hands on his knees, "Let’s go to Li Hua Team today, then." "Comrade Lin Xiang bears a five million order, we must ensure her safety, can’t let those contributing to the collective be disheartened." The initial plan of the Township Party Secretary was to go to Li Hua Team for justice for Wang Xing after the investigation concluded, but with the sudden incident, going today for Lin Xiang is also justified. "Let those two young ones get in the car, quickly." The Township Party Secretary’s official car was small, with him and the big leader in the back, squeezing in two more would be difficult.
