Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 117 I'm Going to Smash Your Factory

They searched for clues around the pigpen and tested the feed.

After a search, the police found some suspicious traces in the bushes next to the pigsty.

After visiting villagers, they finally focused on Lin Xuefang's home.

When the police arrived at Lin Xuefang's house, Lin Xuefang and Zhao Sanhai were extremely shocked, and Zhao Sanhai was particularly panicked.

When questioned by the police, Zhao Sanhai firmly denied any involvement in the poisoning incident, explaining that he and his wife both worked at his brother-in-law's pig farm and had no reason to jeopardize their livelihood.

However, the police pointed out that witnesses saw the dark figure enter Zhao Sanhai's house yesterday.

Under further questioning by the police, Zhao Sanhai suddenly remembered that his nephew Lin Hailin had stayed at his house the night before, but Lin Hailin had left in a hurry this morning.

This discovery left Zhao Sanhai utterly perplexed.

The police immediately went to Lin Hailin's home and interrogated him.

After some questioning, Lin Hailin finally admitted to poisoning Lin Hailin.

It turned out that Lin Hailin had always been jealous of his uncle's family and looked down on his aunt and uncle. Seeing that his uncle's family's life had been getting better and better in the past few months, he felt very resentful.

In particular, when Grandpa went to ask his aunt and uncle to arrange a job for him, he was refused.

What angered Lin Hailin even more was that her uncle-in-law gave the job opportunity to an outsider instead of her. Yesterday, she also heard that her uncle-in-law drove a new car home, which made Lin Hailin even more jealous. This made Lin Hailin harbor evil intentions and decide to take revenge.

So, under the cover of night, he secretly sneaked into the feed and put poison in it, attempting to sabotage the farm's operations.

After the truth came out, Zhao Yuan and Yu Hongmei were shocked and angry.

They never expected that the person who harmed them would be their own family member, but his nephew was indeed capable of doing such a thing.

Finally, Lin Hailin was detained by the local police station in accordance with the law and is awaiting trial. Fortunately, Lin Hailin only administered a laxative, and only in one fermentation vat.

No sooner had Lin Hailin been taken away by the police than Old Man Lin rushed to his daughter's home in the county town.

When Zhao Yuan returned home, he could hear a commotion and arguing coming from the yard.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly drove the car to the gate, intending to drive it into the yard, but saw Old Man Lin holding a broom, fiercely chasing after Lin Fangfang, cursing incessantly.

Uncle Zhong stood by anxiously trying to comfort him.

Zhao Yuan was extremely worried, fearing that his car would be implicated, so he quickly parked it outside the yard.

He was genuinely worried that his unreasonable father-in-law might impulsively smash his car.

Zhao Yuan gently pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

"Dad, what's wrong? What happened to make you so angry?"

Zhao Yuan asked with concern.

When Old Man Lin saw his son-in-law return, his anger subsided slightly, but he was still furious.

"How dare you call the police to arrest Lin Hailin! He's a member of the Lin family, how could you do this?"

Old Man Lin questioned angrily, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan suddenly realized that his father-in-law was furious because of this matter.

“Dad, you’re wronging us. How would we know it was Hailin who secretly poisoned us in the middle of the night? That’s dozens of pigs and thousands of yuan in losses. I’ll definitely call the police.”

Zhao Yuan explained.

Old Man Lin's eyes widened, his face flushed red, and his voice rose eight octaves:

"You ungrateful bastards! Lin Hailin is just a child, your own nephew. Now that you know, you should stop the police from arresting him. If you don't release Lin Hailin, I'll never let this go! I'll smash your factory and show you what I'm capable of!"

Zhao Yuan frowned, looking helplessly at the stubborn and unreasonable old man in front of him.

“Dad, I’m just an ordinary citizen with no power or influence, just like you. Why should the police station listen to me? You’re overestimating your daughter and son-in-law’s abilities.”

“You run such a big factory now, hire so many people, and even bought a tractor. I heard you’re very familiar with the county magistrate. Don’t try to fool me. If you don’t get your nephew out of here, I’ll have you beat Lin Fangfang to death.”

Old Man Lin said angrily.

“Dad, I can’t save Hailin if you’re being unreasonable. Go to the police station to save him yourself. This is illegal, not just a family argument! Although Lin Fangfang is your daughter, she is my wife now. She’s not someone you can just hit. We didn’t argue with you before because we respected you as Lin Fangfang’s father and our elder. But if you continue to act like this, relying on your age and not respecting yourself, I still have the ability to protect my own wife and children.”

These words left Old Master Lin speechless for a moment. He hesitated for a second, but quickly resumed his clamor.

Old Man Lin glared at him, his eyes wide with anger, and said:

"Hmph! My own daughter, what's wrong with me hitting her? You can't do anything to me even if I beat you to death! You're all a bunch of ingrates! Let me tell you, if you don't release Lin Hailin, I won't let this go!"

After saying that, he swung the broom in his hand forcefully, almost hitting Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan quickly stepped back a few paces to avoid his father-in-law's attack.

He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and continued:

“Dad, you’re being unreasonable. Why don’t you think about whose fault this is? If you hadn’t spoiled them since they were little, they wouldn’t be so idle and audacious now. Hailin only put laxatives in our feed today, which isn’t a big problem and he shouldn’t be locked up for long. But if you keep indulging him like this, someone will teach him a lesson in the future.”

Lin Fangfang was so frightened that she hid inside the room and dared not come out.

Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong took Zhao Nana out.

"How have I spoiled them? They're just young and don't understand things yet."

Old Man Lin was still shouting unreasonably in the yard, but his voice was noticeably two decibels lower.

“You’re 18 already, still young? If I remember correctly, you were born when you were 16, right? Your older brother also became a father at 16. I can’t stop you from spoiling them, but don’t bother us with their affairs. We have an obligation to raise you, but we have no obligation to get involved in your Lin family’s messy affairs.”

Zhao Yuan also began to get angry.

“Your eldest brother is gone, and you are his uncle. You are the only one who can handle this matter right now.”

Old Man Lin's tone softened.

"Dad, if you put it that way, I can only try my best to find a solution, but I can't guarantee it will work."

Zhao Yuan also softened his tone.
