Today's hasty actions must mean something bad has happened!

He Tiantian took a few deep breaths and said, "Wu Youliang just came over and said that Sister Jingli injured Lin Xiaoru. Sister Jingli is currently being held at the police station, and Lin Xiaoru has been sent to your hospital. I wanted to see how Lin Xiaoru's injuries are. Are they new or old?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang frowned and said, "I've met Huang Jingli before. She's not the kind of person who's combative. How could she possibly hit Lin Xiaoru on her own initiative?"

Jiang Lifang had heard He Tiantian talk about the educated youth in Qijia Village before, and knew Huang Jingli's character. Moreover, Huang Jingli often came to her home, so she became more familiar with her and knew her better.

“I don’t know what’s going on for now,” He Tiantian said. “I’m worried that Lin Xiaoru is being framed and is trying to harm Sister Jingli. After all, Lin Xiaoru has done similar things before, and since she came to Nanshi, she has tried to extort money from her several times without success. Maybe she’s up to something again.”

He Tiantian knew Huang Jingli's personality. Although she kept saying that she would make Lin Xiaoru suffer if she saw her, she couldn't bring herself to hit someone without any reason.

“The matter hasn’t been investigated thoroughly yet, so you shouldn’t make any hasty decisions,” Jiang Lifang said. “Wait for me inside, I’ll go ask around.”

"Thank you, Mom!" He Tiantian said gratefully, hoping that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible.

He Tiantian had absolutely no liking for Lin Xiaoru!

Thinking back on what Lin Xiaoru had done to her in the past, He Tiantian now wanted to beat her up.

About half an hour later, Jiang Lifang returned.

“Lin Xiaoru miscarried,” Jiang Lifang said, her face looking rather pale. “However, judging from the marks and bruises on her body, they shouldn’t be fresh injuries, so Huang Jingli probably didn’t hit her. She just insists that Huang Jingli pushed her down, causing her miscarriage.”

He Tiantian smiled bitterly and said, "I knew something bad would happen. If I'm not mistaken, Lin Xiaoru is not married and is pregnant out of wedlock. She probably doesn't want the child but wants to use it to extort money from people."

"I didn't witness it myself, so I don't know whether that's the case or not," Jiang Lifang said. "The hospital will provide an objective medical report."

"Okay, I understand." He Tiantian nodded. "Then I'll go back first and ask what's going on?"

Jiang Lifang nodded and said, "It's very hot outside. Be careful not to get heatstroke."

"Thank you, Mom, I've got it," He Tiantian said. "Goodbye, Mom."

After leaving the hospital, He Tiantian rode her bicycle directly to the south of the city.

When they arrived at the police station, they saw Qin Li, Cui Ying, and Wu Youliang coming out.

"How is she?" He Tiantian asked. "Is something wrong with Sister Jingli?"

Wu Youliang said with a wry smile, "Let's go home first and talk about it then."

The three of them went home with Wu Youliang.

Wu's mother was at home taking care of the child and was very anxious.

"Youliang, when will Jingli be released?" Although Wu's mother was a hardworking and strong old lady, she had never dealt with the police station in her life and was very scared. She was afraid that if her daughter-in-law went to jail, the family would fall apart.

Wu Youliang shook his head and said, "The investigation is still ongoing, but we saw Jingli. She said she went out to buy groceries today and was blocked by Lin Xiaoru. That woman immediately asked her for two thousand yuan, threatening to put Jingli in jail if she didn't give the money. Jingli had been threatened many times before, so she didn't take it to heart and started arguing with Lin Xiaoru. The woman went up and hit Jingli, and Jingli fought back, pushing her lightly, but without much force. However, Lin Xiaoru fell to the ground, clutching her stomach, and seemed to be saying, 'Save her child.' After that, Jingli arrested her."

Upon hearing this, Wu's mother swayed and almost fainted.

He Tiantian quickly stepped forward, pinched the old lady's philtrum, and said, "Aunt Wu, with such a thing happening at home, Sister Jingli isn't home, and Wu Youliang has to go out and make arrangements. You're the only one who can take care of the children at home. If you collapse, what will happen to the family?"

Hearing He Tiantian's words, Wu's mother seemed to understand something, took a few deep breaths, and said, "You're right, I can't fall down. Otherwise, this family will really be in chaos. Youliang, don't worry about the family, I will take good care of them."

Cui Ying thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Wu, do you know where Huang Jingli had a conflict with Lin Xiaoru?"

After thinking for a moment, Wu's mother said, "It's just to the west of the vegetable market over there, where there are many people coming and going."

He Tiantian thought for a moment. If Lin Xiaoru wanted to frame someone for theft, she would definitely find a crowded place. As long as she fainted and miscarried, no matter whether Huang Jingli did it unintentionally or intentionally, she would be implicated.

"Can we find eyewitnesses nearby?" He Tiantian asked. "Find those who are close by, who can prove that it was Lin Xiaoru who harassed Sister Jingli, and not that Sister Jingli deliberately hurt Lin Xiaoru."

Wu's mother smiled wryly and said, "With so many people coming and going, I don't know who saw the real situation."

Just then, Aunt Cai came over. Having heard about the Wu family's situation, she immediately patted her chest and said, "I know this neighborhood well. I'll go and ask around, house by house. Maybe someone really saw it. With witnesses, we won't wrong an innocent person, but we also can't let a bad person get away with it."

"Thank you so much, elder sister," Wu's mother said gratefully. She had always helped the Cai family, and this young lady Cai had once again done so.

"You're welcome," Aunt Cai said. "This is a matter for our neighborhood. I'll go find someone from the street office to investigate with me. That way, we can show that we're fair."

Upon hearing this, everyone admired Aunt Cai's shrewdness.

“Aunt Wu, Wu Youliang, don’t worry. Sister Jingli is only temporarily detained, and I’ve already told my second uncle that the people inside won’t make things difficult for her,” Qin Li said. She had heard that Lin Xiaoru had gone too far, but she didn’t expect that even after so much time had passed, this woman was still haunting her.

Huang Jingli is really unlucky to be harassed by such a person.

"Thank you, please have a seat. I'll go cook." Wu's mother said, getting up to start cooking.

He Tiantian told Wu's mother to get ready, saying, "Aunt Wu, you rest, the three of us will do it."

"By the way, Tiantian, what did you say at the hospital?" Cui Ying asked. She had forgotten to ask He Tiantian when Aunt Cai came over earlier.

“Here’s what happened. I went to see my mother-in-law. The doctor at the hospital has already done a medical examination for Lin Xiaoru. The bruises on her skin weren’t caused today, but the miscarriage was indeed caused by the fall,” He Tiantian said in a deep voice. “Moreover, Lin Xiaoru insisted at the hospital that it was Sister Jingli who pushed her, causing her to miscarry.”

Upon hearing this, Wu's mother burst into tears, choking back sobs as she said, "This was absolutely not something Jingli did on purpose. She's a young woman, how could anyone know she was pregnant! Besides, if she was pregnant, why would she come to upset Jingli?"
