Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Putting Someone in a Tough Spot

Song Zhixiong had never imagined that the words spoken by the village party secretary, Gao Jiefang, would hit him where it hurt the most.

Because they had only one son, Song Wenbin, he and his wife had indeed cherished and spoiled him from childhood, afraid he would ever feel wronged. Little did they know that they were actually harming their son.

Song Zhixiong suddenly felt like a complete failure. What was the point of his own success when his son had lost his reputation and future prospects and, due to the absurd things he had done, was likely to spend a few years behind bars.

They had come here solely to seek Luo Qiao’s forgiveness, hoping for a more lenient sentence for their son. But why should someone forgive their son over and over? A few years ago, when they had come, the family had already given them enough face.

With eyes closed, Song Zhixiong shed two lines of tears. Indeed, why should others pay for their failure as parents and their son’s mistake? Whether the sentence was longer or shorter, what difference did it really make?

So he turned and walked toward his wife, who was still causing a scene. "Aihong, let’s go home."

Qiao Aihong, with eyes red, looked at Song Zhixiong and asked, "What did you just say?"

"We’re going back to the city. We can’t save him this time."

"No, I will definitely obtain Luo Qiao’s forgiveness. As long as she relents, our son can get a lighter sentence. We can’t ignore this. He’s never suffered since he was a child."

Making sense of the situation, the villagers who were watching the drama understood what the couple had come to the village for.

Thanks to Luo Qiao’s lead, every household in the village was now living a much better life than before. Everyone who saw Luo Qiao treated her with great respect. Now that they knew the couple’s purpose, none of them showed a friendly face.

"Pah, what a joke. Your son is a person and others aren’t? To think you were a teacher, what a disgrace. Why engage in thievery, ruining someone’s future? That’s a grave moral failing. Shameless to even block the way here; truly shameless."

"Exactly, it’s not easy raising a son to be a thief, you two are really something."

"And still having the face to cry here, get lost quickly, you’re dirtying our village’s soil."

"What kind of teacher is this, with such poor character? Every teacher hopes for their students to do well. To have someone so ill-behaved in the profession, it’s as if the larger the forest, the more kinds of birds there are."

"To fail to teach is the father’s fault. It must certainly be because you as parents didn’t teach him well."

"Need to say more? They’re here to clean up the mess. Otherwise, why would their son act so disgracefully without a second thought?"

Song Zhixiong truly couldn’t stand it any longer. He pulled his wife and started to leave, but Qiao Aihong desperately struggled, trying to beg Luo Qiao for forgiveness.

Luo Qiao quickly had the household registration transfer confirmed; she didn’t even glance at Qiao Aihong and was promptly escorted into the car by Lu Yichen.

Seeing this, Qiao Aihong finally stopped causing a scene, urging her husband to drive quickly to catch up with Luo Qiao. Seeing his wife’s crazed state, Song Zhixiong had no choice but to start the car and chase after her.

Luo Qiao felt that such people were beyond pity, as they probably had not recognized their own errors, just blindly trying to protect their son.

As for the likes of Song Wenbin, he probably had a character defect or perhaps a psychological illness; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so tricky.

Lu Yi drove to the commune. He was familiar with the comrades at the police station, and they quickly completed the household registration transfer procedures.

As soon as Luo Qiao stepped out, she saw Qiao Aihong waiting outside. She felt extremely displeased, especially disdainful of people who cling and pester like this. For the sake of your son, you pressure others to compromise.

Luo Qiao didn’t bother with her and walked straight out. Qiao Aihong followed closely behind, "Luo Qiao, for the sake of my love for my son, please forgive my son, will you?"

Luo Qiao stopped. "Why should I consider your love for your son? Don’t you think it’s forcing someone’s hand? Your son’s situation today is not without your contribution as his parents. It’s better to ask oneself for help than to ask others."

Qiao Aihong hadn’t expected Luo Qiao to be so hard-hearted. Crying, she said, "He’s our only child. If anything happens to him, how are we supposed to live? Why are you so hard-hearted? Can’t you understand the heart of a parent?"

Luo Qiao laughed out of anger. "Why should I understand the heart of a parent? All I know is he nearly destroyed my future. He is a person of low morals and poor conduct, unfit to be a teacher and guide for anyone."
