When he suddenly saw so many people at home, Zheng Hai, who had just finished washing up, stopped in his tracks.

Zheng Hai’s parents were both supervisors of the water plant. He worked in the county police station, but he was only a small official in charge of logistics. He didn’t have much power, but in the eyes of the villagers, he was already a big shot.

When Old Madam Sun saw Zheng Hai, she went forward and held his hand tightly. She wiped her tears and said, “Zheng Hai, you have to save your father-in-law! He was framed and arrested by the commune police!”

Li Ping was afraid that Madam Sun would expose Sun Yu, so she squeezed forward and added, “Your cousin Sun Yu was also framed!”

Sun Dong looked at her sister in shock and asked anxiously, “What’s going on?”

!!

Just as Sun Nan was about to speak, Madam Sun interrupted and told him what had happened. However, she distorted the truth and told a completely different version.

In her version, Yu Bing became the scheming person who snatched Sun Yu’s driver position. After she returned from school, she schemed to take revenge on the Sun family because she was mocked by Sun Yu.

When Zheng Hai heard this, he immediately said angrily, “How outrageous! Yu Bing is too arrogant. Grandma, Mom, Second Aunt, don’t worry! I’m also from the police station. I can’t let Dad and Cousin be wronged!”

The Sun family left a good impression on Zheng Hai. Every time he accompanied his wife back to her family’s house during the new year, they would treat him well.

They often asked people to send fruits, vegetables, and miscellaneous grains to his family. In the city, these things needed to be bought with both tickets and money.

Because the Sun family’s actions had greatly alleviated the Zheng family’s food shortage, when he found out that his father-in-law had been set up, he wanted to help.

No matter what, Sun Wang was more far-sighted than ordinary people.

As soon as Sun Dong graduated from high school, Sun Wang spent a lot of money and used his connections to send her to work at the county’s water plant. It was so that Sun Dong could find a city dweller from a well-off family to marry. When Sun Wang’s family was in trouble, Sun Dong’s husband could help. If Zheng Hai’s family members were ordinary workers, how could Sun Wang agree to Sun Dong marrying him?!

Sun Dong knew better than anyone what kind of person her grandmother was. She knew that she probably exaggerated things, but she couldn’t say anything in front of her husband. After all, Zheng Hai was willing to take the initiative to help. This made Sun Dong look good in front of her family.

Zheng Hai rushed out without eating breakfast. Sun Dong asked him to go to the factory to apply for half a day of leave along the way.

After Zheng Hai left, Sun Dong sat on the sofa and said calmly, “Don’t worry, Zheng Hai is from the county’s Public Security Bureau.”

When Sun Nan heard Madam Sun’s distorted version of the truth when she was explaining to Zheng Hai, she was extremely anxious. After Zheng Hai left, she hurriedly told Sun Dong what had happened.

After she heard this, Sun Dong’s eyes widened and she said anxiously, “Grandma, what you said to Zheng Hai is completely different! If he finds out, he’ll definitely be angry!”

This time, Old Madam Sun calmly glanced at Sun Dong and said, “What’s the hurry? If Zheng Hai is angry, why don’t you coax him? As long as you serve your man well in bed, are you afraid that he won’t listen to you? I’ll say this now. You have to help your father and cousin out!”

What did she mean by serving a man well in bed? Was this something a grandmother would say to her granddaughter? When Sun Dong heard this, she was furious.

Seeing this, Su Qi was afraid that her daughter would get angry and refuse to interfere, so she immediately said, “Daughter, you can’t abandon your father. If it weren’t for your father’s connections, how could you be married to a city dweller now?”

Even though she knew that her family was being unreasonable, it was impossible for Sun Dong to really abandon her father. She replied helplessly, “Mom, I didn’t say that I wouldn’t interfere. You guys were the ones who didn’t tell me the truth. I was afraid that if Zheng Hai found out that he had been deceived by Grandma, he would be even angrier. Things would be troublesome at that time.”

Madam Sun favored boys over girls. Only after Sun Dong married a city dweller did she start to treat her better. Now that she heard her say this, she couldn’t help but scold, “You gave birth to a son for the Zheng family. What are you afraid of?! You’re just like your mother. You’re both timid and cowardly!”

When Li Ping heard that Su Qi and Sun Dong only mentioned saving Sun Wang, she hurriedly interrupted, “Mom, Sister-in-law only mentioned Second Uncle! Sun Yu has to be bailed out as well. He’s the only male grandson of this generation. He has to carry on the Sun family’s bloodline!”

Madam Sun waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t worry, both of them will be bailed out. Sun Dong, hurry up and get some food. I’m hungry and tired after walking in the dark for two hours.”
