Chapter 105 Grandpa Lin Lan was arrested
The two exchanged a glance, and Liang Wei finally said, "Let's keep the house. When Little Shitou grows up, we'll return it to him. However, during the years he's been living there, the house will belong to the Salesian Home. The Salesian Home can rent it out, and the income will also be used for the Salesian Home."

Shangliu Village is very popular now. It may expand slowly in the future and become a town. By then, the foundations of the houses in the village will inevitably rise in value, and Xiaoshitou's house will surely be easy to rent out.

Of course, not everyone living in the Salesian Home can rent out their house. We will handle it based on the specific circumstances at that time.

Yue Chai had no objection to this, and was even a little happy that the house could be saved.

But the next moment, he heard Liang Wei's cold voice, "Little Stone's mother, don't you have any clues at all?"

Yue Chai was stunned. He glanced at the small stone not far away and shook his head. "She has been missing for several years and has never come back. Even if I wanted to find her, I don't know where to start."

When Liang Wei heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

In fact, according to his thoughts, Stone Lady might have already passed away. These days, without a guide, she couldn't run far.

Didn’t you see Hu Fulai and Zheng, they all fled with their families? At most, they only fled to other towns, and it was unlikely that they even left Huaiping County.

If Shi Tou Niang is not dead, she may still be in Huaiping County, or she may be with another man, or she may be a servant of a family, or she may have been abducted and sold.

If she is really still alive, we can still find her if we want to.

He didn't believe that Yue Chai hadn't thought of such a guess.

Sure enough, when he looked at Yue Chai again, the latter's eyes were obviously filled with a trace of guilt. In fact, Yue Chai secretly did not want Shitou's mother to come back. In Shitou's situation, it was obvious that he would be better off staying in the orphanage.

With his mother's character, even if she came back, I'm afraid she wouldn't raise Little Stone well. If she beat and scolded him, and didn't give him food, Little Stone would be a different Chao Chao.

Fortunately, Liang Wei didn't say much. He turned to ask another question, "Chao Chao just mentioned the matter of Lin Lan's family. The man who came to me a few days ago and asked me to warn the old Lin family not to harass Lin Lan's mother was Lin Lan's father, right?"

Yue Chai suddenly realized, "Yes, it is true."

"Is it true that the Lin family members were guilty of abandonment?"

Yue Chai's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he nodded, "Yes, it's true."

Although the old man of the Lin family has always denied it, anyone with eyes can see that they just wanted to throw Lin Lan's sister away that night.

This matter was exposed every day, and everyone would repeat it when Lord Gao and Lord Liang came to question them.

Yue Chai felt that the Lin family was in trouble.

Sure enough, Liang Wei touched the hilt of the knife at his waist and said to Gao Hongfei, "The Lin family's crime of abandonment is true, and it is known to the world. Although Lin Lan's parents have not sued them, since we know about it, we can't just turn a blind eye."

Gao Hongfei nodded and said, "Just deal with it according to the law."

However, the punishment for attempted abandonment is not that severe.

But Old Man Lin and Old Man Lin II, who were directly involved in this matter, will not be able to escape a beating.

This is a good thing, killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Now that Shangliu Village has attracted so much attention, it is a good opportunity to set an example.

The Lin family hadn't anticipated the suddenness of this disaster. They'd originally reasoned that since they hadn't bullied Chao Chao, they didn't need to worry like those who had treated him badly, and they certainly wouldn't be arrested like the three members of the Hu family, including Jiang Lao San.

They look at the sky every day as if they are watching a show.

It was even because Lin Lan had helped Chao Chao many times that their family benefited from it.

It’s a pity that the eldest wife separated from them, otherwise they would be the ones enjoying the benefits now.

It was just a division of the family, not a severance of ties. The eldest family had money, so it was their duty to be filial and support their parents. As long as the eldest brother calmed down, they would also have a share of the silver Chaochao had given them.

Especially since they heard that the eldest brother and Lin Lan were going to the capital, and the emperor would reward them then, maybe dozens or hundreds of taels, wouldn't that be rich?
The Lin family had a good idea. Both the eldest son and Lin Lan were stubborn and difficult to talk to. So, when they got to the capital, they could go find the eldest son's wife. The eldest son's wife was in confinement and needed care. Wouldn't they be the perfect candidates? By cooking a few more meals and helping with childcare, they could get some money out of the thin-skinned eldest son's wife.

If she didn't give it to them, it would be a great act of filial piety. Now that so many people in Shangliu Village were watching, everyone knew that Lin Lan had a good heart. For her reputation, the eldest daughter-in-law didn't dare to be unfilial to them.

The Lin family had a beautiful plan, but who would have thought that before leaving, Lin's father actually went to find Lord Liang.

Lord Liang sent someone to warn them, and the Lin family was indeed frightened.

But after two days, they started thinking about it again.

It doesn’t matter. Lord Liang is here now, and it’s impossible for him to stay in Shangliu Village forever.

There is still a lot of time. After Lord Liang leaves, the boss and his men will bring back rewards from the capital, and they can still benefit from it.

The Lin family's second wife even closed the door to discuss, "The first wife only has two daughters now. The doctor said last time that it would be difficult for my sister-in-law to get pregnant again after giving birth to this child. When the first wife's two daughters are married in the future, won't all their family wealth belong to us?"

Just two days after saying this, I heard Chaochao in Tianmu mention that they had abandoned the eldest wife's child.

When they first heard this, they were just shocked, but thought it was no big deal. It had been so long since the incident, the child had been found in time, and the eldest wife had no intention of suing them, so it must be okay.

Who knew that in the afternoon, several officers came to their door and took them away.

The old Lin family felt like the sky was falling and kept shouting that they were innocent. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so scared that they almost fainted. They dragged Old Man Lin and Old Second Lin all the way to the village entrance.

Then, this incident was seen by those who were guarding the village entrance.

When everyone asked around, they found out that they were the people Tianmu had mentioned, and they all pointed at them.

Upon seeing this, the people of Shangliu Village fell silent, not daring to say a word, let alone help and plead.

What's worse, this incident was like a bucket of cold water poured down on them, chilling their originally passionate hearts completely.

These days, because of the sky curtain, Shangliu Village has become everyone's focus, and countless people have come here after hearing the news. Although they are all blocked at the village entrance, they need food and drink, and the villagers have started to go about their business.

Most of the people who came here were from wealthy families and were very generous. They would even give a few copper coins for a bowl of hot ginger water, which made the villagers of Shangliu Village think that they would live a good life from then on.

The villagers have indeed made a lot of money from this, and some have already begun to imagine the future.
