Chapter 816: Watching Without Eating, Am I Not Anxious?
The next morning, Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao left Dabai Village with Bo Taifeng, who had washed up, shaved his head clean, and changed into new clothes, and set off for Capital City. The village children chased after the car for a long distance, only stopping once they could no longer see it.
Not long after they left the village, the family of the Bo family’s second daughter-in-law rushed over upon receiving the news. Seeing that the city folks who had come to pick up the oldest son had already left, and their own daughter had been taken away by the police, they realized that their daughter had taken the misfortune on behalf of the Bo family.
After making a scene, they had initially thought their daughter couldn’t be saved, so they decided to try to extort some money from the Bo family, knowing full well the Bo family had money. But by now, the Bo family virtually hated the second daughter-in-law to death.
If she hadn’t constantly disparaged the elder sister-in-law and nephew, the family wouldn’t have treated the oldest son and his mother the way they did, and yesterday’s events wouldn’t have happened.
Not only was most of the family’s money taken away, but the futures of several children in the family were also completely destroyed. In the future, they wouldn’t even be able to lift their heads high in the surrounding villages. So, no matter how much they cried and made a fuss, they did not hand over a single cent.
As a result, the maternal family of the second daughter-in-law was furious. They went ahead and smashed up the Bo family’s place, even knocking over the coal stove used for heating in the room of the elderly Bo couple. In a moment of negligence, some papers caught fire, and by the time people noticed, the fire had already started.
By the time the fire was extinguished, everything inside that room had been burned up. Fortunately, it didn’t spread to the adjacent rooms, but the Bo family was driven mad and got into a fight with the maternal family of the second daughter-in-law who had come to seek justice.
The Bo family’s money and valuables had all been kept in that room—this was practically the death of them. They sent someone to report it to the local security bureau.
