At that moment, he didn't care about anything else; all he wanted was to knock the other person down.

My mother, who has always been a strong-willed person, rarely leaves the house since she became paralyzed.

She was afraid of being pointed at and gossiped about, and felt that she was a burden to her two sons.

What she talks about most often is her youngest son Chu Mo's marriage.

He was always worried that his lameness would make it harder for his son to find a wife and that his future daughter-in-law would dislike him.

To be humiliated like this in front of everyone, you can imagine how painful it must be.

But Chu Yi had to stop halfway through his run.

He saw his pale-faced mother trembling as she reached out to block his way.

"Ayi, go back!"

"Mom, people like that deserve to be taught a lesson!"

Chu Yi's eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted with frustration and anger, and his strong arms, clenched into fists, trembled slightly.

"Chu Ruihua, aren't you going to do anything about your son?!"

Chen Yuelan roared at her husband, who was also seething with anger.

After saying that, he coldly addressed the Liu brothers:

"Young people who speak so rudely will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

"Heh, you're crippled yourself, why are you worrying about me? You should worry about your other leg, lest it become lame one day too."

The bald man gave a mocking laugh with a violent expression, showing no concern whatsoever about provoking the other party.

The argument had already attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

With so many witnesses present, if the other party dares to make a move, he guarantees he will immediately lie on the ground and extort money from them until they are bankrupt.

Just as Chu Yi, enraged, was about to rush forward past his mother, he was stopped by a slap from his father.

"He's such a grown man, he's easily angered. Can't you just ignore him for talking nonsense?"

Chu Ruihua had just finished scolding his son when a fat woman came down from upstairs, pointed at them, and screamed:

"What's wrong? You think you're in the right for damaging my car? Let me tell you, I've already called the police, and this isn't over until you pay compensation."

Hearing this, Chu Ruihua couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and worry.

My son was previously fined 1,000 yuan and detained for two days for fighting with the other party, but the other party did not receive any punishment.

The reason is simply because the other party's second uncle is the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau and has connections in the county.

A repair cost of five thousand yuan is something you probably have to pay whether you want to or not.

The fat woman who was speaking was the wife of the bald man, Liu Dahu, while the man holding the stick was Liu Dahu's younger brother, Liu Erbao.

Seeing the arrogant and domineering group, the Chu family members were all filled with anger.

Shortly after, four police officers arrived at the scene.

"Captain Liao, thank you for your hard work. This family damaged my car and doesn't want to pay for it. What do you think we should do?"

Liu Dahu greeted them with a smile and offered cigarettes to the officers, but they refused.

Before they arrived, the group had already learned that this person was a relative of Director Liu, so they naturally knew what to do.

Officer Liao stepped forward with a serious expression and warned Chu Ruihua and the others:

"Intentionally damaging other people's property worth more than 5,000 yuan can lead to a criminal case. I suggest you settle this privately."

"Officer, his car was deliberately blocking the passage, obstructing everyone's passage. Shouldn't the responsibility be assigned in this way?"

Chu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"If his car is blocking the passage, you can report it to the traffic police. That's a different matter from hitting his car. If mediation fails, we'll have to file a case."

Officer Liao spoke with an air of righteous indignation.

"Old Liao, let's discuss this privately first. If we can't reach an agreement, then you can handle it, okay?"

A man in his thirties, dressed in a police uniform, rushed over.

It was Zhou Jianye, the son of Chu Yi's aunt, who was a deputy captain of the third squad of the county's public security brigade.

The reason Chu Yi was only detained for two days before being released was partly due to his efforts.

Otherwise, they would probably have to stay in jail for 15 days.

When Officer Liao saw Zhou Jianye, he quickly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice:

"What, are these people your relatives?"

"That's my uncle, Lao Liao. Give me some face today, I'll treat you to drinks another day."

Zhou Jianye patted Officer Liao on the shoulder. They were both from the same system and had some relationship.

"Alright, since you've said so, Old Zhou, then you two should discuss it first. The Liu family is backed by Deputy Director Liu, so you should probably just have to be patient."

Officer Liao gave a slightly hesitant reply, then returned to the scene and said seriously:

"You should try to resolve this privately first. You're all neighbors, so you should be understanding of each other. Only report it if you can't resolve it yourself."

Seeing that Officer Liao had said that, Liu Dahu didn't press the matter further.

The other party was only giving face to his second uncle; he didn't need to consider their feelings.

Besides, if it can't be resolved, can't it be reported again? So he pretended to be magnanimous and said:

"Then let's do as Officer Liao said. Let's try to negotiate privately first. If that doesn't work, we'll have to ask my second uncle to intervene."

Officer Liao looked displeased, but didn't say much. After all, he was a relative of Deputy Director Liu, and there was no need to offend him.

After Officer Liao and his group had walked away, Liu Dahu said arrogantly:

"Five thousand yuan, not a penny less. Give it to me by tonight at the latest, otherwise I'll report you to the police tomorrow morning and let your wife spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in detention."

After saying that, he put his arm around his wife and walked upstairs triumphantly.

"This family is incredibly arrogant because they have Liu Guodong backing them up."

Zhou Jianye spat angrily at their retreating figures, his face full of rage.

Despite his displeasure, Liu Guodong, as the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, was far more powerful than a mere deputy team leader.

The group returned to the old living room on the third floor with gloomy expressions. Even six or seven-year-old Chu Qianqian had a tense and cute little face.

"Mom, is that mean the bad uncle upstairs going to make us pay money?"
