CH 164

Dong Huaihua and Zhang Caihong were surprised by her obvious grievance and moral stance. She was truly different from what she was before considering that she didn’t try to take advantage of them.

It seemed that if one suffered enough, they would really improve.

Lin Lan gave them 50 cents, which enabled her to freely eat the vegetables in the garden till the end of autumn.

At that time, Lin Lan would be able to grow autumn and winter vegetables by himself. Those included radishes, carrots, cabbage, spinach and leeks. In addition, mustard greens could be grown by themselves or bought. For 30 cents, she could buy a lot of vegetables, enough to pickle some of them. Even cabbage and radish could be bought as a mere few cents were enough to store a hill of food.

In the countryside, things were rather cheap but money was precious, so if there was no shortage of cash, it was naturally cost-effective to buy them. Unlike the situation in the city, which would be suited for reselling since a pound of cabbage cost two or three cents there.

But here, three cents was enough to buy a large head of cabbage.

Lin Lan was very happy that her work was done. After working in the afternoon, she would go home and tell Maisui and Erwang that they would go to the houses to pick vegetables every day.

As a result, when passing through the Old Man Han’s house, she heard the screams of the Old Lady Han.

Lin Lan, “…”

Was a daily misery program installed in the house or something?

“God damn it, when did she go to the Public Security Bureau to file a complaint?”

“Quick, go find her!”

Lin Lan wondered if the ‘she’ in question was referring to herself?

She quickly went home and found that the yard was rather quiet. She didn’t hear Xiaowang chasing the ducks nor did she hear Sanwang’s fanatic laughter. Also, there was no trace of Erwang and Maisui arguing about cooking either.

“I’m back,” She called out.

Erwang immediately flashed out from behind the door, pulled her in and motioned her to whisper.

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Lin Lan looked puzzled, “What’s the matter?”

Erwang moved his eyebrows and gave her a wink.

Lin Lan went into the room, and sure enough, she heard the voice of an outsider.

“Kid Han Sanwang, how are you feeling now? Are you dizzy?” Someone asked in the room.

Lin Lan hurried in and saw a man in a police uniform holding a notebook in his hand, interrogating and notating.

She just watched Sanwang lying on the kang and hummin. Looking at his posture, compared to the Sanwang that was alive and kicking this morning, this one looked like he was dying.

Lin Lan ran over in a hurry, “Sanwang, please don’t scare mother.”

“Sister-in Han, are you back? Please cooperate with us to make a record of this matter,” A gentle voice spoke.

Lin Lan looked at the stranger, “Oh, isn’t this Officer Liu?”

“Officer Liu, why are you here?”

Although she dreamt of reporting the crime, it couldn’t be true,could it?

Officer Liu said, “We received a report that Han Qinghua attemtped murder in the village, so I came to investigate and record it specially.”

Did someone really report the case?

“Officer Liu, may I ask who reported the case?” She really didn’t go. Although she really wanted to, she got the money from them after all…

“Da Wang was the one who went to report the crime. Weren’t you the one who had him go?” Officer Liu was very puzzled.

Lin Lan sighed, Dawang went to report the crime? She couldn’t help feeling excited as she felt a little guilty for blaming Dawang before.

The kid had even gone on his own accord; what a good boy.

Children could be taught after all.
