131 A Visit to the Zhong Family
In the end, Yang Sheng only took Lin Bin and Yu Xin with him. The two of them were dragged into the police car while cursing and swearing.
Yang Sheng also got into the car with the police officer. He said goodbye to Zhong Heng before leaving. He understood what Zhong Heng meant. A talent like Guo Miao should try not to get involved in such cases.
What’s more, all the evidence could prove that Yu Xin and Lin Bin were the ones who wanted to do something to Guo Miao first. Even if Guo Miao’s counterattack was more intense later on, it was only legitimate self-defense.
The police car pulled Lin Bin and Yu Xin away, and the villagers who had come to help also dispersed.
This time, the Lin family had so much drama. It had been a long time since they had seen such a scene in Dongshan Village.
It was a pity that such a good person like Granny Lin was gone just like that.
After settling the house, Guo Miao brought her family and Grandpa Lin back to Haicheng.
Grandpa Lin settled down in the house. The poison in his body had almost been cleared out, and he had regained his original vitality. It was a pity that his wife, who could have accompanied him for a longer time, was no longer around.
Over the next few days, Guo Miao made a few more trips to the police station to deal with the Lin family’s affairs.
The evidence found in the pharmacy and Grandpa Lin’s confession confirmed that Lin Kai and Wang Li had poisoned Grandpa Lin. Although Grandpa Lin was also poisoned, he was not affected because his body was in a better condition.
And those phone chat records proved that Lin Bin and Yu Xin had framed Guo Miao.
The family moved into the detention center, but their sentence and prosecution would be in six months.
Guo Miao didn’t mind letting them stay in the guard post for a while.
After dealing with these matters, Guo Miao was ready to pay a visit to the Zhong family.
Although Zhong Heng had only said one sentence to Yang Sheng, the mayor’s words carried a lot of weight. If Zhong Nian had not mentioned this, Guo Miao would have been taken in for investigation.
Guo Miao picked a Sunday to visit the Zhongs with gifts in her hands.
It wasn’t Zhong Nian who opened the door, but a girl in her 20s.
The girl saw Guo Miao and smiled. “You must be Guo Miao. I’ve heard Grandma talk about you today.”
This girl looked gentle and dignified, like a young lady from a prominent family. Even though Guo Miao had seen many beautiful women, she still couldn’t help but praise her. This girl was really beautiful. It was a pity that she was thin and her face was a little pale. She was probably not in good health.
“I’m Tong Xin, Grandma’s granddaughter-in-law,” the girl explained when she saw Guo Miao’s confused expression.
Tong Xin?
His last name was Tong. Could she be Tong Tong’s relative?
Tong Xin brought Guo Miao to the living room and Song Zhen was already sitting there.
Song Zhen’s legs had been problematic recently, so she was in a wheelchair.
“Grandma, I’m here.” Guo Miao placed the things in her hands on the table.
The two of them then started chatting.
Song Zhen had heard about Guo Miao’s family from her grandson. Now that she heard it from Guo Miao again, she felt even more sorry for the poor child. She had lost her mother when she was young, and now something like this had happened to her family.
Song Zhen patted Guo Miao’s hand and said, “Good girl, I know you’re here because of what my son said, but this is what he should do. You don’t have to take it to heart. You’ve helped our family so much. We’re helping you to repay you.”
Guo Miao nodded. “I also thought that it’s been a long time since I’ve come to see you, so I came to see you. It’s also a token of my filial piety.”
The old lady nodded. “But there’s something I want to tell you. Even though it’s still early, I want to settle it as soon as possible.”
Guo Miao looked at the old lady, a little confused.
“Everyone in my family likes you. Tong Xin is my eldest granddaughter-in-law, and her husband and father-in-law are both in the military. Tong Xin and my eldest grandson’s marriage was decided by the two families when they were in high school,” the old lady said with a smile.
Rich families would always set the marriage contract early so that they wouldn’t have to look after the children in their 20s. This way, the most suitable ones would probably be picked out.
Guo Miao immediately understood what the old lady meant.
“We haven’t set a marriage agreement for Xiao Nian yet. If you don’t mind, you can consider it. You can get married after you’ve both entered university.”
Zhong Nian had just entered the door and almost slipped when he heard the words “get married after you get into college.”
What right did he have to get married to Mystical Miao?
