Chapter 347: Not Very Responsible
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a display of sheer irresponsibility, Lin Laoyao had the audacity to suggest that the victim’s daughter show leniency after his own son had assaulted someone, a matter that was now to be dealt with by the law. free𝑤ebnovel.com
This statement by Lin Laoyao was met with stunned silence and shaking heads, leaving even the police officers handling the case dumbfounded.
The officers who were familiar with the case had initially believed that the father of the assailant was a reasonable man, as he had previously remained relatively quiet.
To the bystanders, he seemed to be the only person in the assailant’s family who had a clear understanding of right and wrong.
They, being men themselves, had initially sympathized with Lin Laoyao’s predicament. His wife and mother were both domineering and unreasonable, and his son, spoiled by such women, had turned into a hooligan. It was bad enough that the boy was not particularly talented, but now he was also in jail.
However, upon hearing Lin Laoyao’s words, they realized that he was not much better.
Upon reflection, they realized that as men, they would never allow their mothers and wives to dictate their actions as Lin Laoyao did.
It wasn’t that they didn’t respect women, but many matters required a
decision-maker, a head of the household. This person could be a man or a
woman, but they had to be discerning and capable.
In most families, the man was the head of the household, but in their family, it was the women, and two unreasonable ones at that. In this light, Lin Laoyao was indeed lacking in responsibility.
Gu Zi was also speechless at Lin Laoyao’s words, but she would not play into his narrative and prove herself to be lenient. She retorted coldly, “Are you really Lin Jie’s father, mother, and grandmother?”
Lin Laoyao, his wife, and his mother were all taken aback, wondering what this young woman was trying to say.
“What right do I have? What right does my father possess to become the turning point for him to start over, to have his leg broken by Lin Jie? And you still demand a private settlement! Moreover, it’s not even certain that your son, Lin Jie, can turn over a new leaf. Your son is a menace to society, it would be better for him to go to prison early for some discipline. Perhaps then he might find a way to turn back. Otherwise, he will only continue to step deeper into the abyss.”
Lin Laoyao was stung by her words, and his wife was left speechless by Gu Zi’s barrage.
Old Lady Lin was so frustrated by her inability to retort that she nearly fainted.
To their surprise, they found themselves somewhat agreeing with Gu Zits words!
But even if they agreed, they couldn’t admit it! Lin Laoyao was still making excuses, his only desire was for his son to avoid prison.
“My son is young and doesn’t understand things yet, he will grow up. But if you don’t give him a chance and let him go to jail, you’re leading him down a path of no return. You’re an educated person, we can’t argue with you. I beg you, please show mercy!”
Gu Zits expression remained calm as she spoke softly, “Justice lies in the hearts of the people, not in words. Instead of arguing like this, you should reflect on who led Lin Jie down this path. I’ll give you time. We can wait here until you’ve thought it through, then you can pay the fine..”
