Chapter 272 Crazy
Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Lin Dahe was afraid that the crying of the mother and daughter would disturb the work of the police station, so he quietly closed the door.
"Okay, stop crying. Let's talk about it when we get back. Venting your emotions here will only make people laugh at you."
After the mother and daughter had cried enough, they wiped each other's tears with handkerchiefs.
Lin Mei tidied her hair and clothes, and stood in front of Jie Chunlei stiffly, "Brother Chunlei, I..."
"Okay, Dad is right. Let's talk about it when we get back. This is not the place to talk about these things." After Xie Chunlei said this, he turned around, opened the office door, and walked out first.
Li Xiu was angry and wanted to say something, but Lin Dahe didn't give her a chance to speak and followed her out.
Li Xiu hugged Lin Mei sadly: "Meizi, let me tell you, men are never reliable at critical moments. We women have to be strong ourselves."
Li Xiu was worried that Lin Mei would commit suicide after returning home because she couldn't stand the rumors, so saying this now could serve as a way to give her a heads-up.
Lin Mei lowered her head and said, "Mom, I know."
After walking in the mountains and suffering inhuman abuse for more than a year, her current life is too good for her. She was rescued with great difficulty, so how could she not live well.
Xie Chunlei stood at the entrance of the police station, looked back at the mother and daughter who were walking out slowly, and asked Lin Dahe beside him: "Should we go back now, or go to the restaurant to eat first?"
"Let's go to the restaurant and have a bowl of noodles. I haven't had a rest since rushing from home to the county town, and I'm hungry now." Lin Dahe was smoking, and his face could not be seen clearly because of the smoke.
Xie Chunlei did not refute. He walked in front and led everyone to the nearest state-owned restaurant and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles for everyone.
"Dad, do you want a drink?"
Lin Dahe was in no mood to drink at this moment. He shook his head and said, "No, it's still early. Let's go back early after eating."
Xie Chunlei did not try to persuade him much. He poured himself a glass of water, drank it, and sat there in silence.
Seeing Jie Chunlei's behavior, Lin Dahe and Li Xiu couldn't help but feel uneasy. Although this son-in-law was cold to them before, at least he showed them the proper courtesy.
But this time it was different. They clearly felt and understood Chunlei's alienation from them.
As for the person involved, Lin Mei has been keeping her head down since she came out of the police station. She won't say a word unless you ask her. She is very silent and has been following them like an invisible person all the way.
There was no communication between Chunlei and Hejie.
After the noodles were served, the few of them didn't talk to each other and just focused on eating.
After eating the noodles, we took a bus back to the village. It was already evening.
There was no car available from the township to the village, so the four of us had to walk.
The country roads are even less populated.
At this time, there was no one else on the road, so Lin Dahe asked, "Meizi, there is no one here now. Tell us how you were tricked on the train and taken to the deep mountains in the northwest."
Lin Mei raised her eyes to glance at Lin Dahe, then quickly lowered her head, "She was knocked unconscious and taken away."
She was knocked unconscious and taken away. When asked about the rest of the journey, she didn't know.
Lin Dahe: “…” Aren’t you alert at all when you go out?
Lin Dahe didn't say this, but Li Xiu didn't hesitate to accuse him, "You said you don't have any vigilance when you go out. Who dares to contact others?"
Lin Mei suddenly looked up, with resentment flashing in her eyes: "How do I know they are kidnappers!"
Li Xiu was confused and didn't pay attention to her expression. After hearing her words, he poked her forehead with a look of disappointment, "Look at you, why didn't that kidnapper kidnap others but only you? Haven't you ever looked for the reason from yourself?"
"What's the reason for me? Tell me!" Lin Mei suddenly asked back loudly, scaring everyone.
Li Xiu was stunned, "I......"
When she was injured outside and didn't get any comfort from her family, Li Xiu blamed her for not being vigilant enough. Lin Mei broke down instantly: "I have thought about this question for more than a year. Now you ask me. If you don't tell me, then I will tell you. They kidnapped me just because I was dressed in old-fashioned clothes and looked like an ignorant woman from the countryside who was traveling far away. They thought it was easy to deceive, and they wouldn't offend the wrong person even if they deceived me. It's my fault that I am poor and have no money. If I had money and bought a sleeper ticket, would they still target me?"
Li Xiu: "...I didn't give you money."
Lin Mei glared at her resentfully and retorted loudly: "Your money is not even enough for a sleeper ticket, what's the point?"
When Li Xiu came into contact with Lin Mei's resentful eyes, he was so frightened that his heart started pounding. He didn't dare to provoke her again, for fear that she would do something extreme.
When it was dark, they passed by Jiejia Village and the group walked towards Jiejia Village tacitly.
When we arrived at Xie's house, the room was dark and unlit. The door was not locked but could not be opened because it was bolted from the inside.
Obviously, Jie's mother had received the news early and knew that they would bring Lin Mei back from the county town, so she didn't want Lin Mei to come in.
"Mom, open the door!" Xie Chunlei knocked on the door hard.
I knocked for about ten minutes, but there was no movement in the room.
Lin Dahe, Li Xiu and Lin Mei's faces were as black as charcoal.
Lin Dahe: "Chunlei, what does your mother mean by this? Does she not welcome us?"
Xie Chunlei did not explain. He took a few steps back, then jumped onto the courtyard wall and rode on it. However, before he could jump off the wall, the door of the main room opened from the inside.
Holding a flashlight, Xie's mother yelled at Xie Chunlei who was riding on the wall: "You want to turn the tables! You climb over the wall to get into your own house? You are so stupid that you can't even tell your family apart. Why did you come back? You might as well just die outside!"
"I raised a good-for-nothing like you. You only bring shame to others and make our Jie family a laughing stock in the surrounding area! You might as well not come back and die out there and put an end to it all."
Xie Chunlei jumped off the courtyard wall, not understanding his mother's indirect criticism, and calmly opened the gate.
Mother Jie noticed the thin figure that followed in and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Hey! Isn't this my shameless ex-daughter-in-law? You look down on my family, so why are you back again?"
"Mother-in-law..."
Li Xiu was interrupted by Jie's mother as soon as she opened her mouth: "Don't call me mother-in-law. From the moment your daughter was abducted, she is no longer my daughter-in-law. Besides, your daughter has been someone else's daughter-in-law in the mountains for more than a year. Now she wants to marry me. You are taking advantage of our family. Don't you feel ashamed of what you have done?"
Lin Dahe didn't want to argue with a unreasonable woman. As the head of the family, this matter should be discussed by the man, right?
So he turned to ask Jie Chunlei: "Chunlei, what do you think about this?"
"Why are you asking Chunlei?" Mother Jie didn't know what Jie Chunlei was thinking. She was afraid that her eldest son would give in and agree to keep Lin Mei at home. She spoke before he could answer, "He doesn't talk much usually. You're asking him now. Aren't you bullying me? I'm the boss of this family. We don't want women who have been played with by others. We're not junk collectors. You can't just stuff anything stinky and rotten into our house!"
Lin Dahe and Li Xiu were so angry at Jie's mother's words that they were shaking all over. But before they could argue, Li Xiu felt a gust of wind blowing by him, and then he heard Jie's mother's scream.
Without saying a word, Lin Mei rushed forward and grabbed Jie's mother's face. Her sharp nails plowed directly across her face, leaving blood marks on the spot.
Then he grabbed her hair and pushed her to the ground and beat her.
"Meizi, calm down, calm down, we won't argue with her."
Everyone present was shocked. Although Li Xiu felt good when she saw Jie's mother being beaten, it was a shame for a younger person to beat up an elder. This forced her to rush forward and pull the mad Lin Mei.
