Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 967 - 968 Countryside Orphan Girl 12

"When you were smashing my family’s place, you should have expected today would come."

"If you’ve done wrong, you must bear the consequences."

"Otherwise, everyone who does wrong just cries and says they regret it, and that’s it? No accountability?"

"The Liu Family really did steal my dad’s compensation money and his job, and that’s already outrageous enough."

"I’m just claiming back what’s mine, and yet you people are still acting so arrogant at home."

"Fine, a family should stick together. You can all wait together inside." Zhang Yu made it clear she wouldn’t reconcile.

"Little Yu, please forgive your grandmother." Wang Pandi panicked, dropped to her knees, and begged Zhang Yu to let them go.

"Forgive? You guys even planned to steal my dad’s money and job. That’s not all—you wanted to send me to the hardest place to work as an intellectual youth."

"Did you ever think about how tough it was for me and my grandma back then?"

"All you thought was, if I died and my grandma didn’t live much longer, you could take over her house."

Zhang Yu glared viciously at the Liu Family members; Ma Xudong and another person understood why Zhang Yu’s attitude was so harsh. The behavior of the Zhang Family was truly excessive.

The neighbors were stunned, staring blankly at the Liu Family. "This is truly vile."

Oh no, the three Liu Family members were all furious inside. They couldn’t understand how Zhang Yu had found out about this.

"No, no." The three of them knew they absolutely couldn’t admit this.

"Even if you don’t confess, someone else already has." Zhang Yu said it didn’t matter whether they admitted it or not.

"They’ve been interrogated by the Mechanical Factory’s security division, including Liu Jia and her husband."

"What do you think they’d say?"

"Wouldn’t they also mention your responsibility?" Selfishness was ingrained in the Liu Family’s nature.

Zhang Yu didn’t actually know whether Liu Dashan or the others would implicate Wang Pandi and her crew, but that didn’t stop her from provoking them now.

Zhou Xia and Liu Li’s expressions turned sour—they had been stirring trouble behind the scenes quite frequently.

If push came to shove, it was perfectly normal for someone to pin the blame or implicate them.

Liu Li glanced at Wang Pandi and the others, thinking it through—she couldn’t be the one left to take the fall.

In the family, she was just a girl, the one with the least status. There was a real chance they might push her out to protect Liu Jianshe.

No, she definitely couldn’t be the scapegoat, or her life would effectively be over.

Zhou Xia noticed Liu Li’s expression wasn’t right and knew this daughter might be contemplating coming clean. In a low voice, she warned, "You know what you can and cannot say, right?"

"You understand what the consequences would be if you don’t, don’t you?" Zhou Xia was aware that if this blew up, her husband and younger son would undoubtedly suffer.

No matter what, Liu Qiang could not be implicated—otherwise, what would become of the family? The eldest son’s marriage hadn’t been settled, and Liu Qiang as the second son—he was more important and couldn’t be involved.

Zhou Xia quickly made a decision: let Liu Li take the blame for this. At worst, they’d prepare a generous dowry for her when she got married.

Having thought this through, Zhou Xia directly floated her idea, "Xiao Li, how about this?"

"You know your second brother has always been good to you." Zhou Xia tried playing the emotional card.

Unfortunately, such words meant nothing to Liu Li. "Mom, I know what to do."

See, before even figuring out what they’d confessed to, just based on Zhang Yu’s coaxing, they were already planning to let her take the fall.

Liu Li felt terrible and didn’t know what to do about this. If she didn’t act according to Zhou Xia’s wishes, the Liu Family would surely abandon her.

Yet if she shouldered this for Liu Jianshe, the Liu Family wouldn’t be there for her either.

As for the promise of a grand wedding bonus, that was just talk. It was entirely possible she’d never be able to marry at all.

Unable to marry, what kind of dowry was there to speak of?

Since no matter what she did, she’d end up discarded in the end, why should she care about Liu Jianshe?

They were all selfish people. Liu Li came to a decision.

Zhou Xia, hearing Liu Li’s words, felt uneasy. Liu Li hadn’t explicitly agreed to her proposal, only said she knew what to do.

Zhou Xia wanted to try brainwashing Liu Li again, but found she couldn’t even approach her now.

Forced into frustration, all she could do was glare bitterly at Liu Li, hoping she would get the hint.

When Wang Pandi and the others arrived, so did Liu Dashan and his group—they bumped into each other outside the police station.

Upon seeing Wang Pandi and her crew, Liu Dashan’s first reaction was, "You—you knew we were in trouble, and you?"

Liu Dashan wanted to tell them to go find Zhang Yu, and use any means necessary to make her withdraw the lawsuit.

But then he saw that Wang Pandi and the others had also been restrained, and the old man instantly felt something was wrong.

"You—you?"

"We knew you were in trouble, so we wrecked the Zhang Family house." Wang Pandi admitted she’d wronged Liu Dashan and his group, but what was done was done.

What? Liu Dashan hadn’t expected them to be so reckless. "How could you do such a thing?"

"Now look at us—we’re all in here."

"That Zhang Yu, that damned brat, is ruthless. She made it clear she wouldn’t forgive us and wants us to rot in prison."

Initially, Liu Dashan hadn’t been too worried. He thought: the stuff they took was their own son’s property, so what was wrong with taking it?

Now he understood—the property was meant for Zhang Yu. Even though he still felt the policy was unfair, he also realized he couldn’t fight against government policy.

He wanted Wang Pandi to go negotiate with Zhang Yu—even offer money if necessary—to get him out, since he was an old man and couldn’t endure prison life.

But now, with the whole family rounded up, Liu Dashan didn’t know what to say anymore.

"Wrecking someone’s home? Stealing their possessions?" Feng Jun snapped, annoyed.

What? Liu Dashan and his group hadn’t expected their actions to be this extreme. "What—how could you take the money?"

If they hadn’t taken the money, everything might still be salvageable—the problem wouldn’t be so serious. But some money was stolen.

"How much?" Liu Dashan’s voice shook as he asked.

"Over three hundred yuan, plus some coupons—altogether close to five hundred." Wang Pandi couldn’t even look Liu Dashan in the eye.

At this moment, Liu Dashan felt utterly hopeless, not knowing what to say anymore.

"Get inside," Feng Jun pushed Wang Pandi and the others into the police station for interrogation.

Jiang Dawei was there as well—upon learning why Wang Pandi and her group were at the police station, he was dumbfounded.

"Oh, right, old man. I forgot to mention—Zhang Yu, that damned girl, is going to start working at the police station." Wang Pandi remembered something crucial.

When Liu Dashan heard this, he was shocked, dumbstruck.

"What? That girl—she’s going to start working at the police station?" Liu Dashan had initially been considering how to teach Zhang Yu a lesson.

He thought the situation had escalated because they’d offended Deputy Director Li, who oversaw logistics. He planned to trip her up a little to teach her some discipline.

Now, hearing she’d joined the police station, how could he possibly deal with her?

Jiang Dawei panicked too—what? Zhang Yu was going to work at the police station? From now on, the Liu Family wouldn’t even be able to think about scheming against her.
