"Who doesn’t know? Do you need to tell me?" Shen Luhua’s face was full of disdain.
"Uh?" Sheng An almost choked on her words, "You all know already?"
"The whole county is buzzing about it. Go to the Qin Family’s place and see, the courtyard walls have been pushed down." Shen Luhua said, "Luckily we don’t need to struggle against landlords anymore. Otherwise, Second Aunt Qin would have been struggled to death."
After hearing about Ningning’s childhood, Shen Luhua was full of contempt, and couldn’t help but echo Sheng An’s sentiment, "Exactly! She deserves it!"
"Mom, did you take your medication today?"
"You’re the one who took the wrong medicine! How can you speak to me like that?"
"Hahaha... You heard wrong. Dad, you be my witness!" Sheng An wanted to cheer up Sheng Laosan, gently pulling on his sleeve and saying, "Dad, aren’t you happy? My sister is getting married over the New Year, we should be happy."
"We should be happy!" Sheng Laosan put down his dry tobacco pipe, trying to cheer up, "Quickly write a letter to Ningning, ask her when she has vacation."
"Alright! I’ll write!"
Compared to the joy in the Sheng family, the atmosphere at the Liyang County Public Security Bureau was quite solemn.
Su Hai, dressed in a black coat, had a face colder than the gloomy winter sky.
Su Yun walked in front of him, trying her best to stand straight. Actually, every step felt like walking on clouds, terrified.
Xiao Hai also showed her the facts, and she was afraid to see a reality different from what she imagined.
"Director Su, this way please." The police captain saw Su Hai coming and went out to meet him far away, shaking hands with Su Hai, while Su Yun was automatically ignored.
"Director, the interrogation has already started inside, do you want to participate personally?"
"Of course! Lead the way!" Su Hai’s expression remained dark.
In the interrogation room, Second Aunt Qin’s face was ashen, her head hanging down like a defeated rooster. Initially, when she was first brought in, she kept cursing.
One moment she said her daughter had a background; another moment, she claimed even the county office director was unworthy of carrying her shoes. Regardless, her rich experience in cursing had prepared her to rant continuously for three hours without repeating herself.
Later, the prison guard in the Detention Room, unable to withstand the barrage of insults, directly gave her a deeply memorable lesson with a baton.
At first, Second Aunt Qin rolled on the ground throwing a tantrum, but later she was thrown directly into the cell.
There, where everyone held was fiercer than the next, Second Aunt Qin, who only knew how to bully the meek and throw tantrums, was obediently disciplined in less than twenty-four hours.
She didn’t dare even to fart.
When Su Hai entered, Second Aunt Qin looked at him fearfully, trembling all over.
Su Yun followed behind. Second Aunt Qin desperately wanted to ask for help but was terrified into silence by a mere look from Su Hai.
Even the interrogating officer was speechless; did she really think so highly of herself? After losing someone else’s daughter years ago, she still hoped they would save her?
She was just waiting to be locked up.
Su Hai stood with his hands in his coat pockets, his body upright as he observed.
Su Yun momentarily showed surprise in her eyes, then silently found a chair and sat down.
"Confess honestly! How did you abandon their child back then, and now you think of using your own daughter as a replacement?" the interrogating officer asked.
Second Aunt Qin dared not lie anymore—the conditions in the prison were like hell, making her life worse than death, each day dragging like a year.
"Not talking? Do you want to be sentenced to life imprisonment?"
"I’ll speak, I’ll speak!" Second Aunt Qin, terrified out of her wits, confessed everything from the past.
