Lin Wanwan thought the matter was over, but the next day, as soon as she got home from get off work, the Zhang family arrived.

"Is it you?!"

Lin Wanwan turned around and saw an older woman leading the woman from before, with Zhang Ergou by her side.

"What's up? Who are you?"

The middle-aged woman stood with her hands on her hips at the doorway, shouting loudly, "Did you hit my daughter-in-law yesterday?"

"What? You've come here looking for a beating too? Are you and your family habitual offenders? You come here to extort money from everyone, what? You only target my family, thinking we're easy to bully?!"

Lin Wanwan deliberately shouted loudly, since it was time to get off work and many people came over to watch the excitement.

Seeing that Lin Wanwan was not easy to bully, the old woman simply sat down by the door.

"Damn it, this family not only hit someone but also won't admit it! Come and see!"

Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at her, "What else can your family do besides sitting on the ground crying and making a scene to extort money?"

Turning to Uncle Li, he said, “Go call the police and tell them that some shameless guy broke into my house last night to extort money. He was kicked out, but he came back today. Do you think you can hold me hostage, a law student? I’ll send him to jail for a few years, no matter what.”

Everyone, be my witnesses. Yesterday, this woman's son gathered a group of people who called my son a bastard and beat him. My son fought back and they beat him black and blue. As a victim, I didn't say anything, but this woman came to my house and started acting all high and mighty.

They insist on making me pay compensation. Everyone here can be a witness; I've already called the police. I want to see if I can send your whole family of habitual offenders to jail.

The old woman sat on the ground, stunned. "Who are you trying to scare?"

"I'm not kidding you. Just sit here and see what happens. The police will be here soon."

"Don't try to scare me. The police won't help you. You hit someone, why would they help you?"

"Why won't you help me? Your whole family is ill-mannered. You all came to my door to insult my son. Do you expect me to put up with it? Have you no shame? Like father, like son. You're all a bunch of scoundrels. Aren't you ashamed?"

The onlookers started pointing and gossiping. The Zhang family already had a bad reputation in the alley, and there were quite a few people who had grudges against them.

The old woman felt ashamed, but she refused to leave because she hadn't gotten any benefits.

Uncle Li arrived with the police shortly afterward.

"Make way, make way, what's going on?"

The old woman immediately started wailing. The man who arrived was an experienced policeman.

"Shut up, what brings your whole family to someone else's house to cause trouble?"

Lin Wanwan also began to gather her strength, tears streaming down her face. "Officer, this kid brought a group of people to beat up my two sons yesterday, and even called my son a bastard. We, the victims, haven't even gone to confront them yet, but they've already come to our door."

"They want me to pay for medical expenses, saying my son hit their son. My younger son is only six years old, and my older son is eight. Look at her son, he's tall and strong, and he brought a bunch of older kids to bully people, even coming to my house to cause trouble, extorting money from me."

"Look what your son did to my son!"

Lin Wanwan immediately yelled back, "Do you want my son to stand there and take the beating? Do you want to beat my son to death? You are a whole family of vicious women!!"

"Bad guy!!!" Yuanyuan's voice came from behind.

She hugged Lin Wanwan and started crying, "You are all bad people. You hit me and my brother, and you even bullied my mother."

"Waaaaah..."

Lin Wanwan was faking it, but Yuanyuan really cried.

Tuanzi ran over and stood in front of Lin Wanwan, her eyes red and stubbornly refusing to shed tears.

"Do you think we're easy to bully? You dare to come to our door and extort money from us! Look at my son, waaaaah..."

Lin Wanwan also started to cry.

The veteran police officer who came to handle the situation was also at his wit's end.

Lu Anyang never expected that the woman who slapped him so hard last night would be crying so bitterly while holding her child.

"What's wrong?"

Before Lin Wanwan could speak, Yuanyuan immediately burst into tears and said, "Uncle, they're bullying Mommy, waaaaah... Please help Mommy!"

Lin Wanwan silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart, thinking, "You truly are my son."

"You came to our door yesterday to extort money, and now you're here again? Our victims haven't even said anything, and you have the nerve to come knocking on our door?"

Lin Wanwan silently gave him a thumbs up.

This was originally just a neighborhood dispute, but the way this family described it made it all the more complicated.

The old policeman looked at the old woman on the ground and the woman next to her, and asked, "Did you go to their house yesterday to ask for money?"

"They beat my son, shouldn't I be entitled to medical expenses?"

"That child was also victimized, and you still have the nerve to ask for money? You dare to cause trouble when I don't give it to you? Don't you know that extortion is a criminal offense?!"

The woman thought Lin Wanwan was lying to her, but when she realized she was really going to be sentenced, her legs immediately went weak.

"I...I...I really didn't, I just want medical expenses."

Lin Wanwan immediately burst into tears and said, "Our child was injured much more seriously. Your child brought a large group of people to beat up my son. We haven't even asked you for medical expenses yet, and you still come to our door to cause trouble and insult us. How can you be so shameless?"

The woman paced frantically, trying to grab Lin Wanwan, shouting, "Who's shameless?!"

Lin Wanwan, holding her two children, tried to back away.

Lu Anyang reacted quickly, grabbing the woman's hand and pushing her aside.

“Officer, you saw it yourself. She dared to lay a hand on us even in front of you. Does she expect us to just stand there and let her bully us? We are easy to talk to, but we can’t let people bully us. My sister-in-law donates a lot of money to charity every year. It’s even been in the newspapers. Look at how badly my sister-in-law has bullied us!”

Yuanyuan cried harder and harder, "Waaaaah, bad people, they're all bad people, you're all bad people, you bullied my mom."

The police were really at their wits' end. Everyone in the Lu family area knew that this woman was their second daughter-in-law. She worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was also a successful businesswoman. She had recently made the newspapers for doing charity work.

"Take them away," the old policeman said to the people behind him. "Take them all back. I want to see how powerful your family is, daring to lay a hand on someone right in front of me."

The older police officer stepped forward and said to Lin Wanwan and Lu Feng, "Please bring your child with you to the police station to make a statement."

Lu Anyang, adopting a gentlemanly demeanor, said, "Alright, we'll cooperate with whatever you do."

After giving her statement at the police station and returning home, Lin Wanwan was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back.

"It should just be a reprimand and a lecture."

Lin Wanwan shrugged. "I know, I was just trying to scare them, to let them know that our family is not some easy target, and we are not to be bullied at all."

"Then why are you crying?"

"When necessary, people tend to side with the weaker party they see. Isn't it effective to show weakness at the right time?"

Lin Wanwan glanced at the two children running ahead; they probably hadn't heard her.

Lu Anyang turned his head to look at her and chuckled softly.
