Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 549 A sky high bail.

Chapter 549 A sky high bail.

Zhang Xiaohui's words were like an explosion as the entire Lin family turned to look at her, it wasn't that they were extremely close with her but Zhang Xiaohui was indeed changed, she was no longer lazy and was a great addition to the family what was more she was a divorced woman where was she going to go if she left their house? The money that she had from the Lin family was nowhere enough to buy a house and the village currently had no empty houses… not anymore ever since Shen Zizhen bought the house that was next to the Lin brothers' house.

" Aunt Zhang are you feeling guilty because of what happened?" asked Lin Rui, he could more or less understand what was going on in Zhang Xiaohui's head, after what happened he would be just as upset as Zhang Xiaohui if it was him in her shoes.

Zhang Xiaohui wiped the snot off her nose with her sleeves and sniffed. " You heard what she said right? She will come back and create more trouble for you all. It would be all my fault if something like this happened to you guys again, I can't be a piece of baggage on your family."

She also knew the trouble of a lone woman living alone but she was afraid of Old madam Lin and her shrew-like behaviour, she knew that as long as she had the money and jewellery in her hands, Old madam Lin will definitely create trouble for her again and again, she didn't want a repet.i.tion of what happened today ever again.

Everyone exchanged a glance with each other and in the end, it was Su Wan who took a brave step forward and patted Aunt Zhang on her shoulder. She knew how Zhang Xiaohui was feeling at the moment when she got a divorce her parents would often barge at the house of her best friend with whom she was living with, demanding that she handed over the restaurant to her ex-husband since his name was on the property certificate. She sighed lightly, " Aunt Zhang, I won't force you to stay if you want to leave but you shouldn't worry about Old Madam Lin, I don't think that she will have the free time to pay us a visit anytime soon."

Zhang Xiaohui heard Su Wan's caring words and her eyes filled with tears as she nodded. " Thank you."

" Aunt Zhi, you should go and get Aunt Zhang to your room and treat her injuries," said Lin Yan as he ushered Lin Jing to his room as well. The two of them entered the room while the others were left behind, each of them having their own thoughts running through their heads, all of them were busy thinking about how to deal with Old grandma Lin who promised to come back and get her revenge.

However, turns out that they were thinking too much. Old madam Lin indeed got just as busy as Su Wan predicted, the second she arrived at the Yamen, she found out that Lord Xing, whom her son has befriended was a criminal who had offended an important official and was waiting for his execution. The second the Yamen officers heard that she was Lin Ze's mother, all of them sneered as the one in charge of Lin Ze's case coldly spat a few words, "Your son was in cahoots with the criminal named Xing, we found out that he helped him in planning and scheming against innocent people with Xing Bengt, since he was involved only in planning and directly didnt get involved in anything, he won't be imprisoned but you have to pay the penalty of fifty taels to bail him out."

" Fi—- fifty taels? Where will this old woman get fifty taels, my lord?" When Old madam Lin heard that the price to redeem her son was fifty taels she was stunned and then almost instantly she fell into an ice cellar. Fifty taels? From where the h.e.l.l she will get fifty taels? This was just daytime robbery! They must be trying to rip her off by telling her such a sky-high price. Who here didn't know that the officers of the Yamen were corrupt, they were just using their power to fill their pockets!

However, no matter how angry Old madam Lin was with the Yamen officers, she still kept her thoughts to herself, she knew if she dared to spout any nonsense here, her son will be the one who will have to suffer.

For Old Madam Lin, her son was like her life. No one can replace him in her heart, she would definitely not do anything foolish to trouble her son.

The Yamen officer was annoyed by Old madam Lin's wailing and complaining now, he smacked the table and loudly scolded, " If you didn't have the money then your son shouldn't have used his little guts that he has to do something like this! He schemed against the innocent people and harmed them, for what? For filling his pockets! Did your son think about how many innocent people he was harming while doing such a thing? I will tell you he didn't! From what Xing Bengt has confessed your son was quite keen on warming his pockets and has done a lot of shopkeepers working in the town. You better pay the money or else—— humph."

Old madam Lin held her head and swayed as she plopped on the floor and cried, " But I am just an old woman, where will I get the money!" While she was throwing the tantrum, the rumours that were flying in the village flashed in her mind and she immediately sat up straight and wiped her eyes. "It's not my son, it's that b.i.t.c.h! That widow who seduced my son—An Xia! She was Xing Bengt's mistress and is pregnant with his child, she is behind it, you should catch her."

The Yamen officer rolled his eyes with derision. He sneered, " That girl is already dead, we found her dead body in the middle of the junction between your village and another she was attacked by robbers and most likely fought back—- because we found nothing on her." Then he waved his hand and ordered. " Just leave and get the money, or else I will send your son directly to prison."

" No, my son is the head of his family, he can't go to the prison!" Old madam Lin anxiously shouted, she was so worried that she couldn't even relish the news of An Xia's death. " Officer please be kind and don't do this, I will raise the money soon!"

The officer huffed and snorted. " Then hurry up, go and raise the money then you can bail your son out."
