Chapter 361: Take advantage of its weakness, aim for its life

Lin Fu and Lin Lu sat across from Lin Shou, asking for details.

Upon learning the news was from Comrade Liu Guoan, both their hearts went thud thud.

Like a wheel rolling over a gravel road, suddenly rushing up the slope.

"Specifically, I and Blue Mountain can’t explain clearly.

Tangtang said she would go ask Comrade Qin again, maybe she could get some latest news."

Lin Shou anxiously took a few puffs of his cigarette.

Lin Fu couldn’t judge his sister-in-law’s actions.

Seeing his younger brother couldn’t hide his dispirited appearance, he consoled, "You still have Qingya and Xiaojing, you need to stabilize yourself first, we can slowly think of solutions."

The judgment shouldn’t come down that quickly.

There’s still time!

This incident happened too suddenly; everyone is anxious, but being anxious is useless.

Lin Shou: "...I know."

After speaking, he fell silent again.

When Lin Tang got home, aside from the second household, the people from the first and third household had all gone back to their own homes.

Seeing her daughter back, Li Xiuli hurriedly greeted her.

"Tangtang, you’re back. How did it go? Did you get the details? What are the various statements about your Third Aunt’s matter?" she asked anxiously.

Lin Tang briefly recounted the matter in a few words.

Lin Lu habitually thought of smoking, but seeing his wife and daughter nearby, he held back.

"Tangtang, you mean there’s still room for reversal in this matter?"

He knew his daughter was conservative in her speech and never mentioned things that were unreliable.

That was precisely why it was shocking.

After all, that was... murder!

Lin Tang explained, "What the specific outcome will be, I can’t be sure either; we still have to wait for the investigation results."

But, she had thought of several ways out for her Third Aunt.

It probably wouldn’t lead to being ’eating peanut shells’ [executed].

The worst-case scenario might just be being sent to a remote area for re-education through labor.

Without a definite answer from Lin Tang, Lin Lu also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was really because his daughter seemed so calm.

"Alright, then let’s wait for the results."

Lin Tang: "Hmm, I’ve already asked someone for help, let’s get Third Uncle and the others to see Third Aunt first."

If Third Uncle and Sister Xiaojing don’t see Third Aunt, they probably won’t be able to sleep well.

No matter what the judgment is in the end, the family should see each other.

Li Xiuli felt relieved upon hearing this.

"Indeed, they need to see each other, or your Third Uncle and the others will definitely not rest easy."

Lin Tang nodded, "Mhm."

As she spoke, she stood up, "...I’m going to find Sister Xiaojing."

"Okay, go comfort your sister," Li Xiuli instructed.

Lin Tang responded and left the house.

-

The news that Zhang Hongyan was taken away by several public security officers quickly caused an uproar in Shuangshan Brigade.

Everyone was guessing what that normally honest and decent woman could have done.

A woman who witnessed the scene whispered, "I was right there when the Public Security Bureau’s comrades took Xiaojing’s mother away..."

The onlookers immediately turned their attention to her face.

"You saw it? What was it for?"

The woman enjoyed being the center of attention, adopting a mysterious air.

"I heard it’s because Xiaojing’s mother had someone’s blood on her hands, it seems it was found out, so she was taken away."

As soon as the woman spoke, the scene instantly went out of control.

A commotion arose.

"Is it true? Xiaojing’s mother looks so thin and weak, how could she possibly kill someone?"

"Yeah, who did she kill? It wasn’t someone from our brigade, was it?"

As the gossipy women of the brigade were talking, Yang Chunfang heard about the incident, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

The Lin Family is in trouble?!

Isn’t this a great opportunity for her family...?

Thinking this way, Yang Chunfang lost all interest in going to work and turned back home.

Once home, she immediately found Liu Dazhu.

"My dear, there’s been an incident, a great opportunity!!!"

Her voice could barely contain the excitement and triumph within.

Liu Dazhu thought the Sauce Factory exam admission slots were announced, so he hurried out of the toilet.

"Did Guohui make it into the factory?" he asked eagerly.

Yang Chunfang rolled her eyes.

Thinking scornfully to herself, what’s the big deal about Guohui getting into the factory? If she played her cards right with Zhang Hongyan’s situation, she might turn the Sauce Factory into her own one-word rule.

Thinking of the Sauce Factory’s staggering profits, greed flashed in Yang Chunfang’s eyes.

"No!"

"What I heard could possibly advance you a few steps..."

Advance a few steps?

Liu Dazhu’s thoughts stirred, and he asked, "What’s going on? Did Li Jiancai run into trouble?"

What he understood by advancing a few steps was, at most, becoming the deputy captain.

As for the position of brigade captain, he hadn’t thought about that.

With the Sauce Factory, the Lin Family was almost an unshakable mountain within the Shuangshan Brigade.

They could not be easily moved!

Seeing Liu Dazhu not guessing the crux of the matter, Yang Chunfang lowered her voice and said, "...Someone from the Lin Family got into trouble, I heard it’s related to a murder case."

At this point, her voice turned stern.

"After all, this is a matter involving a life-and-death lawsuit. If handled properly, dragging down the captain is not impossible."

Everyone for themselves, heaven and earth be damned.

She’d had enough of being looked down upon.

As long as she could bring down the Lin Family, her own family would have its day to shine eventually.

By then, who would care about the little stains on Guohui and Jiaojiao’s reputations?

Liu Dazhu’s heart sank as his wife dropped a heavy stone of realization.

It rippled through him, leaving him unable to regain calm for a long time.

"I know what you’re talking about, but this matter has to do with Lin Shou the third, and doesn’t really involve the brigade captain, right?"

All men harbor the desire for power and profit.

He naturally coveted the position of brigade captain as well.

As soon as Yang Chunfang heard Liu Dazhu’s words, she knew he was tempted.

A gleam of calculation appeared in her eyes.

"That’s why I said if managed correctly, everything lies in our own hands. You won’t know the outcome until you try..."

Strike the Lin Family while they’re weak, aim for their life!

This was the only chance her family had to rise to the top.

Only a fool would not take action.

"But..." Liu Dazhu was somewhat agitated, "Isn’t this taking advantage of their misfortune?"

Yang Chunfang sneered.

"I’ve heard Guohui reciting a saying these days, ’the victor becomes the king, the loser is deemed the outlaw.’

You know what this means better than I do, since you’re more educated.

If you can bring him down, it’s your skill."

As for failure, she would find Guohui’s uncle again; she didn’t believe that the Lin Family’s reputation wouldn’t be utterly ruined!

Liu Dazhu took a drag on his cigarette.

He blew out circles of smoke for a long time.

The haze blurred his vision.

"...I’ll think about it," he said.

Hearing her husband’s words, Yang Chunfang knew she could rest easy.

Humming a melodyless tune, she twisted her body and went to the kitchen.

Liu Dazhu’s gaze drifted towards the distant mountains.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, no one could tell what he was thinking.

Days later, rumors that suddenly spread throughout the Shuangshan Brigade revealed his choice.

"Our brigade captain’s family has a murderer. It’s inappropriate for him to remain as brigade captain, right?

To be a brigade captain, at least you need a clean family background..."

"Indeed, speaking of which, it’s quite embarrassing."

"You’re right, it really looks bad."

...

These words were originally spread in a limited circle.

Few had heard them.

As time went by, like a small spark igniting a prairie fire, they slowly spread far and wide.
