Although Father Lin was very angry with his family, he still harbored a glimmer of hope. However, upon hearing that they not only did not acknowledge their mistakes but also blamed others, he felt a chill in his heart. Instead of looking at his family, he turned to the police officers, weathered and worn, and asked, "Officers, what are the possible ways to handle this situation?"

The police officer, with a gentle demeanor, replied, "First, you can settle it privately without our involvement. Second, you can go through legal procedures. Although they are your relatives, with both witnesses and evidence, this matter is quite straightforward to handle. They might face fines or even imprisonment."

Hearing about possible imprisonment and fines, the expressions of the Lin family members immediately changed. But what shocked them even more was that the usually meek second son dared to make such a decision in front of them! This was outrageous!

The old lady of the Lin family, being an ignorant rural woman, could not comprehend what the police were saying. After all, in her view, her granddaughter was right—it's normal for a family to have conflicts and scuffles, so why would it lead to imprisonment and fines? She thought it was outrageous that disciplining her own son and daughter-in-law could lead to jail time.

She quickly reacted and stretched her neck to shout.

"I discipline my son and daughter-in-law, what does that have to do with you? Why should we pay fines or go to jail? Haven't you ever been hit by your own parents?" The old lady's words fell, and her eldest son, Uncle Lin, stepped forward. "Pay fines? It's the second family's fault for being unfilial in the first place. As the eldest brother, it's my duty to discipline him. It's only right. If there's any compensation, they should pay it!"

The hospital was bustling with people, and the family's loud voices, along with the presence of the police, drew curious glances from the surrounding crowd. Hearing this, they realized it was a family dispute. In this place, everyone had their issues, and conflicts were common. But no matter how serious, people always advised reconciliation rather than separation. It was the first time they saw someone take their own parents and elder brother to the police.

While surprised, there was also a sense of disdain. After all, no matter what, they were still family. Such an extreme fallout was too much.

Si Nian coldly looked at the old lady and her son, then turned her gaze to Lin Wei, who was hiding in the back with a guilty conscience. He occasionally glanced at his mother, Wang Cui, showing his guilt.

"You're right, it's normal for a brother to discipline his younger brother and for a mother to discipline her son and daughter-in-law. But I haven't heard of a nephew being allowed to hit his second uncle and aunt."

"Your son broke my mother's head, requiring more than ten stitches, and now you expect us to pay? I've really seen it all. If you want money, fine, I'll give you money."

She turned around and saw her stunned husband, angrily pinching him, "What are you staring at? Didn't you see our son getting beaten? Go stop her! Do you want to wait until our son is beaten to death?"

Uncle Lin finally came to his senses but was afraid when he saw Zhou Yue standing behind Si Nian. His son was short, under 1.7 meters tall, and standing in front of Zhou Yue, he barely reached his shoulders. Zhou Yue's fists looked as big as his son's head, and just watching made him feel terrified. Earlier, his wife was easily flung aside with just a wave from Zhou Yue. Uncle Lin, not as robust as his wife, feared he might get killed with one punch.

He didn't dare approach but was worried his son might really get hurt. He anxiously shouted from a distance, "You, Si Nian, stop right now! What you're doing is illegal!"

The old lady also panicked, "You wretched girl, let go of my grandson! If anything happens to him, I won't let you off!"

"Officers, please stop her! My grandson is about to be beaten to death!"

Si Nian sneered, "I'm just having a playful scuffle with my brother. Isn't it normal for family members to have a little tussle?"

The police officer nodded in agreement, "It's not unusual for an elder sister to discipline her younger brother. Why make such a big deal out of it? Haven't you ever hit your younger siblings?"

Uncle Lin and the old lady were momentarily speechless.

"Tell me, who told you to hit my father? If you don't, I'll beat you to death!"

"Waaah, stop hitting me! I know I was wrong. It was my mom who told me to do it. She said if I crippled my second uncle, their family wouldn't be able to run their business anymore. I know I was wrong! Please let me go!" Lin Wei cried, snot and tears streaming down his face, wailing loudly since no one was helping him.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill down their spines.

Wang Cui's heart sank. It's over!

Si Nian stopped and coldly looked at the pale-faced Uncle Lin's family, "Officers, did you hear that? This was premeditated attempted murder!"

Even the police were stunned, not to mention the Lin family's elderly members.

Although they didn't like the second family, they never intended to cripple their own son. The second son's legs were already weak and he couldn't do much work. Crippling him would ruin him completely.

They had been relying on the second family's financial support for their retirement!

That was quite a substantial amount of money. Hearing that it was the eldest daughter-in-law who instructed her grandson to do such a heinous thing, the elderly couple turned livid with anger.

"Alright, you wretch! How dare you use my grandson to do such a despicable thing? Watch me beat you to death!" The old lady lunged at Wang Cui, grabbing her hair.

The surrounding onlookers, who initially thought the Lin family was making a big deal out of nothing, gasped upon hearing this.

Who could be so ruthless? Out of jealousy for someone's business, she wanted to cripple her husband's own brother. It was simply too horrifying!
