Thus, the car drove to the cotton spinning factory. Director Chen had just finished a meeting and learned from Secretary Hu about Lin Xiang being bullied. He was planning to go to Li Hua Team himself. As a result, Liu You was sent to Director Chen’s car. Lin Yun, the Township Party Secretary, and the chief officer sat together in a car. It wasn’t exactly like sitting on pins and needles, but it was close enough. Luckily, the distance wasn’t far, and they arrived at Li Hua Team in just over ten minutes. As soon as she got out of the car and breathed in the fresh air, Lin Yun finally felt a bit more relaxed. The captain saw that Lin Xiang wasn’t responding at all, so he had to bring the secretary and Accountant Xu to welcome the leaders himself. "Secretary, Director Qian, Director Chen, welcome all the leaders to our Li Hua Team." Director Qian raised his hand, interrupting the captain’s pleasantries, "We came with a task today. Captain Zhao, please call Wang Xing’s family to the brigade headquarters. Regarding Wang Xing’s arranged marriage, we’re here to get justice for her today!" The captain’s heart trembled, and only two words surfaced in his mind. The Wang Family’s issue not only reached the commune but even alarmed the Township Party Secretary! The person beside the Township Party Secretary, though unfamiliar to the captain, clearly held a higher position than the Township Party Secretary based on his demeanor. Came from the county? From the city? Or a big leader from the province? He no longer cared who spread the matter; he only worried whether his position as captain would be stripped away. The captain went to find the Wang Family, while the secretary stayed behind to proactively introduce the Lin Family’s situation to the leaders. "Mrs. Lin Sr. was married to Lin Xiang’s grandfather later; Lin Xiang’s father was raised by his older brother and paternal aunt. Not to mention Mrs. Lin Sr., even Lin Xiang’s own grandfather didn’t pay much attention to his first two sons." "Later, when Lin Xiang’s parents got married, the Lin Family provided no support whatsoever. After Lin Xiang’s father passed away, Lin the Fourth took away the few remaining pieces of furniture and sewing machine from the Lin Family, completely cutting ties. It was my father who personally wrote the document severing ties back then." "This means that Lin Xiang’s family of three has no relation to Lin Family’s old residence. Today, Lin the Fourth’s family returned from the town and, after somehow hearing that Lin Xiang got a position as a cotton spinning factory worker and sold it for eight hundred yuan, planned to demand this eight hundred yuan to propose marriage for his youngest son, who made a girl pregnant before reaching adulthood!" The secretary was not like the captain, who prioritized collective honor over everything, causing him to blur right and wrong. Lin Xiang had brought such a big order for the town; she was now the darling of the leaders. How could they let her be bullied? Not long after, Director Qian and the Township Party Secretary personally came; doesn’t this explain the matter clearly enough? Unfortunately, he was usually so suppressed by the captain that he couldn’t speak up for Lin Xiang earlier. The Township Party Secretary’s eyebrows knitted into a frown. While such things were not uncommon in rural areas, the shamelessness of Lin the Fourth and his family was truly rare. Weren’t they just bullying Lin Xiang’s small family of a widow and orphans, trying to grab what remained? "This is classified as extortion, isn’t it? Eight hundred yuan is no small amount; it warrants detention. Director Qian, handle it accordingly." Director Qian promptly said, "The commune is currently identifying typical cases. Lin the Fourth’s actions have met the criteria, and I will handle it according to protocol. By the way, was there evidence mentioned about Lin the Fourth’s youngest son being a hooligan?" The secretary felt awkward. Where would he have evidence? Wasn’t it all because of Lin Xiang’s fuss? Although there was no evidence, Director Qian could tell from the expressions of Lin the Fourth’s family that the matter was likely true. No evidence? Then seek evidence actively! So, before Lin the Fourth could figure out what was happening, he was already arrested. Mrs. Lin Sr. was dumbfounded and rushed over, trying to stop them from arresting Lin the Fourth. "And you!" Director Qian said coldly to Mrs. Lin Sr., "You didn’t nurture Zhao Xiuli, Lin Xiang, and Lin Yun, so they don’t need to support you. Plus, with the severed ties, there are essentially no familial relations between you, just villagers with the same surname." "So, today you didn’t enter your deceased son’s home; you trespassed a villager’s home without permission. If Lin Xiang pursues this, you’ll be arrested too!" Director Qian was merely scaring Mrs. Lin Sr., as elderly women like her loved to argue stubbornly without relent. Without some toughness, she wouldn’t be afraid or realize her mistake. Precisely because Lin Xiang was someone who would seize any opportunity, after hearing Director Qian’s words, she immediately raised her right hand, "I will pursue it! Not only will I hold Mrs. Lin Sr. responsible, but I will also hold Lin the Fourth’s wife, Lin Jiang’s wife, and the four of Lin Jiang and Lin Hai accountable for their vile actions!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 "Lin Jiang, Lin Hai, and their father Lin the Fourth teamed up to attack my brother. The bandage on his head is evidence of his injury!" "Lin the Fourth’s wife and Lin Jiang’s wife, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo, teamed up to bully my mother, not only scratching her face and messing up her hair, but also tearing her clothes! Their family not only trespassed but attempted murder!" Although exaggerated, it wasn’t entirely unfounded. "Girl, even in writing you can’t exclude others in the same family, you shouldn’t destroy them completely!" "Give me a pen, I can write not just two but twenty Lin characters!" "Also, Director Qian explained it clearly earlier; we’re just fellow villagers with the same surname, don’t try to pull family ties. With family like yours, my mom, my brother, and I cannot afford it!" Director Qian knew Lin Xiang had grievances, yet with both the Township Party Secretary and the chief officer silently supporting her, he dared not suggest she settle privately, thus instructing the police to take Lin the Fourth’s entire family away. With that family gone, Lin Xiang felt the air seemed much fresher. Lin Xiang walked up to the Township Party Secretary and the chief officer, bowing deeply before them. When she raised her head, tears rolled down her cheeks, making her look incredibly pitiful. "Thank you, leaders, for standing up for me. If it weren’t for you, my mom and brother and I would have been forced to sell everything to Lin the Fourth’s family today." Even knowing Lin Xiang’s appearance was a facade, the Township Party Secretary still felt sympathy for her. That whole family, like a pack of wolves! Poor young girl, with such "family," still maintained her nature and didn’t give up on her studies, ultimately benefiting Mianyang Town by securing a five-million foreign exchange order. "As leaders, serving the people is our purpose. In the future, if anyone encounters unresolved issues, they can seek government help to protect their rights." Lin Xiang immediately agreed, "Exactly, justice stands with righteousness. Under the leadership of the Township Party Secretary, Mianyang Town will undoubtedly thrive!"
