Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 698

Chapter 698: Crocodile Tears
Judging from her reaction, the police knew that the woman behind Mother Chen was today’s target. He glanced at his comrades, and two female police officers walked towards them.

Seeing them coming, Mother Chen shouted, “What do you want to do? You can’t take my daughter away!”

One female police officer grabbed Mother Chen’s hand and pulled her away, while another female police officer grabbed Chen Lina’s arm to prevent her from escaping.

Father Chen was shocked and at a loss when he saw this sudden situation. He just came back from visiting his brother in town yesterday and didn’t know what happened in the village recently.

“Chen Lina, you were arrested for kidnapping a baby 12 years ago, abusing the victim, and attempted murder. The evidence and witnesses have concluded that you are proven guilty. The sentence will be announced in two days,” the police officer said coldly.

After speaking, he gestured to his companion, and said, “Take her away.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the female police officer dragged Chen Lina who was shouting crazily toward the gate, “Let me go! You have no right to arrest me! I was not wrong! It was that bitch who provoked me first!”

Seeing her daughter being dragged away, Mother Chen quickly pushed away the female police officer and ran over to help her daughter up. But before she could reach Chen Lina, she was stopped by other police officers.

“Comrade, I advise you to think twice. If you insist on obstructing our mission, you will also be arrested,” the police officer warned her sternly.

When Mother Chen heard that she was going to be arrested, her legs went weak. She sat on the ground and howled, “Heavens ah! What crime did my daughter commit to deserve such slander?!”

The police officer standing in front of her replied expressionlessly, “Your daughter is guilty of kidnapping, victim abuse, and attempted murder.”

After hearing his words, Mother Chen was speechless. She looked at the police officer in disbelief, as if he were a wild animal.

But the police officer ignored her and only said, “Only after she receives the court’s verdict and is transferred to prison can the criminal’s family visit her.”

The police arrested Chen Lina and notified the Chen family before leaving. Father Chen and others had not yet reacted to this sudden situation and stood there in a daze, watching them dragged away Chen Lina.

It took them a long time to finally realize that one of their family members was a criminal.

Father Chen was furious when he saw his wife crying and screaming like a shrew. He walked up to his wife, pulled her up forcefully, and shouted, “Stop crying! Look at the good things your daughter has done!”

After hearing what he said, Mother Chen became angry and pushed her husband away. She pointed at him and said, “Who are you to blame me?! If you hadn’t forced our daughter to marry Li Sang, would she have become like this?”

“Do you still have the nerve to mention this matter? If you hadn’t helped your daughter to trap Li Sang behind me and ruin her reputation, Lina would have married that man in the city. Now, you dare to say I forced her to marry Li Sang?!” Father Chen shouted in disbelief.

“So what if he is from the city? He is only willing to give us a bride price of 50 yuan, and the city is so far away. What if Lina is bullied?” Mother Chen retorted.

After hearing his wife’s words, Father Chen felt suffocated and said in shock, “The bride price of 50 yuan is already the highest in our village, and he is even willing to give our daughter a sewing machine!”

“What’s more, he has a bright future and has no parents. After marrying him, Lina will no longer have to serve anyone and will gain citizenship. You chose money over your daughter’s future. So, who do you want to show your crocodile tears to?!” Father Chen asked angrily.

Mother Chen was stunned after hearing what her husband said. When her hypocritical mask was torn off by her husband in front of everyone, she was at a loss.

Seeing her standing there motionless, Father Chen looked at his sons and said angrily, “What are you doing standing there? Bring your mother in and lock the door!”

Knowing that their father was angry, they quickly brought Mother Chen in and closed the door. The onlookers were so excited that they left to share gossip.

In less than an hour, everyone in Xie Village knew the news of Chen Lina’s arrest and the list of her crimes.

At the same time, Lu Wenfeng was watching ants with Shitou in the front yard of the Lu family’s house, when a group of children came over and threw peach pits at Shitou.

Shitou felt the pain on the back of his head. Looking down, he saw the peach pits on the ground, and turned around and asked, “Who threw the peach pit at me?”

The children made faces at him and shouted, “Shitou is the son of a criminal! He is a bastard and will become a criminal when he grows up! No one wants to play with him, only a dog wants to be his friend!”

As soon as they finished speaking, Lu Wenfeng picked up the peach pit from the ground and threw it at them. At the same time, she shouted in a sweet voice, “You are the dog! Bad children, go away!”

Despite her petite stature, the pits she threw were accurate, with some hitting the children right in the eyes. The older children were angry and climbed over the fence into the front yard.

Seeing them coming, Shitou quickly stood in front of Lu Wenfeng and shouted, “What do you want to do?!”

“What do we want? We want to beat a criminal son!” one of the children said and rushed over.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wenfeng’s eyes turned red and she burst into tears, “Waaa!! Mother!”
