Chapter 40.3

Lin Shiheng just happened to be standing at the door, as if he was waiting for her.

Waiting until Widow Zhang has finished saying her threats, although wearing shabby clothes, the increasingly handsome young man looked around, as if to see whether anyone was paying attention to them.

Widow Zhang thought he was feeling guilty and looked even smugger. No need to look anymore, theres no one paying attention to us here. And you dont have to worry. I dont want a lot, only half. As long as you give me half, only you, me, and the heavens will know about this matter. There wont be a third person.

There really isnt anyone?

Lin Shiheng nodded and walked up to Widow Zhang, gazing at her calmly for a moment. As her stiff face was gradually relaxing, Lin Shiheng slowly smiled.

If theres no one Then Im relieved.

Relieved? Relieved about what?

Before Widow Zhang could react, the person in front stretched out his hand, a great force struck her, and her whole person was directly thrown out.

Accompanied by the pain, Widow Zhang covered her leg and reflexively cried out.

Lin Shiheng, arent you afraid Ill report you? Then youll get executed!

The young man standing by the door took a step back into the yard and slammed the door shut.

Widow Zhang:

***

She didnt come back to her senses for quite some time and kept the same posture on the ground all the while. Until an old man carrying a box on his back passed by, who asked kindly, Did you fall? Need me to help you up?

Only then did Widow Zhang react, Its Lin

The Lin family front door abruptly opened. The young man, whose hands were holding some vegetable leaves, appearing as if he was just picking vegetables, came out with a face full of doubt. Seeing this scene, wearing a face of obvious surprise, he hurriedly ran to Widow Zhang to help the person up. How did you fall in front of my door? Hurry and get up. Aiyo youre really heavy, it really takes some effort to help you up.

Widow Zhang looked at the innocent and surprised face in front of her, her lips trembling with anger.

This person had just picked her up with one hand and threw her far away, now hes pretending he wasnt strong enough to help her?

Her brain, which originally just thought about cheating him some money, was now filled with anger.

She had only one notion left.

Report Lin Shiheng and have him executed!

Immediately!

Great! Lin Shiheng, you just wait!

The surprise on Lin Shihengs face grew more evident as he watched Widow Zhang shake off his hand and limp away. Looking at her back and then down at his hand, then finally turned his head to look at the old man, who was passing by, again.

What was wrong? Did I hurt her when I was helping her up?

The old man also knew a little about Widow Zhangs disdain for her daughter-in-law. Thinking about the fact that Lin Shiheng was also her daughter-in-laws nephew, he already had a notion in mind.

He freed up one hand to stroke his long beard. He spoke in an exceptionally kind tone to the ex-prodigal son before him. Dont worry about her, that woman is being small-minded and is just irritated with you.

Okay, hurry home and get back to work. Im leaving too, my family is waiting for me to eat lunch together.

En, you walk slowly. This box looks quite heavy, do you want me to help you carry it?

The old man smiled and shook his hand. No, no. Something that I carry every day, how would I still need you to help me?

He continued walking, thinking at the same time, it seems Lin Shiheng, this boy, has really changed.

How polite.

***

Lin Shiheng, who was just praised for his courtesy, was later arrested by the police that afternoon.

No one knew better than Widow Zhang about how much Old Lady Lin disliked this grandson, she quickly said, Who knows, it might also be an execution. You have to tell the truth.

Lin Shiheng, who had been silent for a long time, with reddish eyes, looked at his grandmother in front of him, and whispered, Grandma, you gave me those three chickens. Can you help me testify?

When had Old Lady Lin ever seen Lin Shiheng, the grandson, go soft on her?

Her expression immediately brightened.

Tch, so what if he was so arrogant before, didnt he still fall into her hands now?

She didnt notice the surprised look in the eyes of the police when they heard Lin Shiheng calling her grandma. She straightened her posture, patted her chest, and announced, He stole those three chickens, I did not give them willingly!

You have to hurry and take him away!

The police didnt listen to her but turned around and asked Lin Shiheng, She is your grandmother?

Yes, biological.

The young man who had looked so helpless when he was reported by Widow Zhang was now filled with hidden sorrow, even his eyes were red.

He lowered his head and held out his hands. Public Security Comrade, when she gave me the chickens before, no one saw it. No one can help me to testify, please take me away.

Old Lady Lins expression became even more arrogant. Yes! Take him away and shoot him!

She has been eyeing the Lins big house and field for a long time. When Lin Shiheng dies, wont his mother then be at her mercy?

The three officers looked at the handsome young man with an increasingly sad expression, then looked at Old Lady Lin, who seemed like she was about to laugh aloud. They hesitated and didnt move.

Old Lady Lin saw this and became anxious. What are you still doing? He already said he didnt have witnesses. Isnt that an admission? Hurry up and take the person away.

The onlookers were already upset, and she still added fuel to the fire. Aunt Wu, who had gotten a few pheasant feathers from Lin Shiheng before, was already so angry that she stepped out.

Have you no shame saying these words?! You clearly gave him those chickens. At that time, when you took him to your house to drink chicken soup, it was as if it just wouldnt do if he didnt go. And we even thought you had changed for the better, turns out you were waiting for this!

Let me tell you, you will be struck by lightning if you do unjust things such as framing people.

Old Lady Lin, feeling attacked by her words, became angry herself and held her waist out and scolded, I did give him chicken soup but he forced me to give it to him, and the two chickens were snatched by him Aiyo my chickens ah I worked so hard to raise them, but they ended up just being snatched away.

Bah, who doesnt know that you are stingy, what you dont want to give couldnt have been given out. Shiheng was also thrown out like garbage by you at an early age. It was already so difficult for him to grow up and have success, yet youre still planning to plot against him. What a great child ah Just before, he hunted a pheasant and wanted to give it to you, saying that his grandma treated him well, so he also wanted to treat his grandma well. Do you have a conscience? You could even falsely accuse your own grandson. I hope that after you die, theyll take you to hell to peel off your skin and pull out your tongue!

You thing! Ill kill you! He would still say hes treating me well because of those three chickens?! That he snatched from me?!

Seeing the two women cursing at each other, the three public security officers quickly took control of the situation. Dont curse! First, dont curse, then speak clearly, we will investigate it one by one.

I will testify!

Granny Wan came out with her crutches, a pair of eyes scowling at Old Lady Lin, I will testify, those chickens were given to him by her.

At that time, I saw very clearly, this old woman dragged anothers child to her own home as if he just had to go. Shiheng also met me on the way back with the chicken she gave, saying the chickens were from his grandmother.

Right! I will also testify.

Me too!

Shiheng is really a good child, moreover, he is great at hunting. He can hunt many rabbits and pheasants from the mountain every day. Today, he also shot down two rabbits and a pheasant. If he wanted to eat chicken, he could have hunted himself. Why would he have to rob her?

Precisely! The kid is so generous. After hunting rabbits, he would also share them with us, the neighbors. How could he steal chickens?

A group of people noisily testified one after another. Old Lady Lins eyes darkened with anger. But, before she got the chance to scold back while holding her waist, the three officers at the side with blackened faces had already announced that they would continue their investigation.

The theft of chickens has been considered investigated clearly. You two will be arrested on suspicion of false accusations. Please cooperate with the investigation.

The raging Old Lady Lin suddenly froze. What do you mean Im under arrest?

Arent you catching Lin Shiheng?

Why did it change to arresting her?
