"Qin Huairu, don't be nervous. Our Women's Federation's job is specifically to protect women and children like you and ensure that your rights are not violated. With us here, you don't need to be afraid of anything. Speak boldly and confidently."

"Thank you, Director Yao, and thank you to the government for your concern."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, her eyes reddened. As if she had seen a relative, she immediately stood up and bowed to Director Wang and Director Yao.

Because she knew that these two were the only people she could talk to today, she was determined to get along well with them.

"Alright, sit down first. Can you tell us what happened yesterday that made you do something so irrational? Playing with your life."

Once this topic comes up, Qin Huairu is no longer tired; she could talk about all the scandals surrounding Jia Zhangshi for three days and three nights straight.

Next, Qin Huairu not only recounted what happened yesterday, but also told her all about the bad things Jia Zhangshi had done in the past.

Half an hour later, Qin Huairu finally managed to finish speaking, and the people in the room were deeply moved and unable to calm down for a long time.

This Jia Zhangshi is a typical example of feudal remnants: lazy, patriarchal, superstitious, and unreasonable. She has too many labels to count.

Such people waste air when they are alive, and waste land when they die.

What's even more ridiculous is that she actually looks down on people from the countryside. You have to understand, she herself is from the countryside, so what right does she have to look down on people from the countryside?

"Alright, Qin Huairu, don't worry. We'll summarize the situation later. If it's as you say, we definitely won't let Jia Zhangshi off easily."

"Thank you, both directors, and thank you to the government!"

By this time, the other two groups had already finished their inquiries, and after the three parties summarized their findings, the matter was almost certain.

Jia Dongxu spoke most objectively, without favoring anyone, and was entirely based on facts, which also confirmed some of what Qin Huairu said.

At first, Jia Zhangshi was uncooperative, but when the staff slammed the gun on the table, she became obedient. However, she only talked about things that were in her own favor, portraying herself as an innocent old woman.

However, these are no longer reliable, as his son has already confirmed certain things, so the results of questioning Qin Huairu should be taken as the primary basis.

"Alright, the truth has come to light. Let's hold a general meeting!"

Director Wang made the final decision: this time, he planned to use Jia Zhangshi as an example, not only parading her through the streets but also reporting her to the police station, to prevent some ignorant people from still living in their fantasies.

Soon, everyone gathered at the Intermediate People's Court. Because of the hot weather, Director Wang didn't prepare a long speech and went straight to the point.

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Guisheng from the Subdistrict Office. I'm sure you all know why we're here. It's so hot, and I feel really bad that you're all keeping me company in the sun!"

"Hahaha……!"

Director Wang's joke made the crowd below burst into laughter.

After everyone's laughter subsided, Director Wang continued.

"Our investigation into what happened at the Jia family last night has yielded some results. The culprit is their wicked mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi."

"Come here! Bring Jia Zhangshi up."

At Director Wang's command, two young men, like escorting a prisoner, grabbed Jia Zhangshi's arms and led her to the center of the courtyard.

"I refuse to accept this! You've set up your own court! What crime have I committed? Why have you brought me here?"

Although Jia Zhangshi, who was brought up, was saying harsh words, she was actually terrified inside.

"Hehe! Jia Zhangshi, don't argue. Let me ask you, did you eat up two days' worth of food as soon as you got out of prison yesterday?"

Faced with Director Wang's questioning, Jia Zhangshi could not deny it, because she had indeed eaten it.

"Yes! I did eat it, but I had just gotten home, I didn't know that."

"Fine! So after you finish eating, do you still want to eat meat? And then when there's no meat, you verbally abuse your daughter-in-law? Calling her a vixen, a jinx, a country bumpkin, and even telling her to go back to the countryside?"

"this……!"

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was speechless, Director Wang continued to ask.

"Did you still use the guise of being disobedient and unfilial to demand criticism of your daughter-in-law at night? And it was precisely because of your actions that your daughter-in-law hanged herself. Do you acknowledge this?"

"Whoa...!"

Director Wang asked so many questions in a row, and Jia Zhangshi couldn't answer a single one, causing the crowd below to boo.

"No, Director Wang, after all you've said, are you saying I can't hit or scold my own daughter-in-law? What law am I breaking by disciplining my own daughter-in-law?"

"You are truly ignorant of the law. Even great men have said that women hold up half the sky. We are all masters of this society. What gives you the right to ride on her head and act arrogantly? I think you are turning back the clock of history and are a sinner against the people."

Director Wang's powerful speech made Jia Zhangshi question her life choices: How did I become a sinner against the people?

"Jia Zhangshi, what else do you have to say?"

What could Jia Zhangshi possibly say?

You've said everything, both good and bad, so why are you asking me? At worst, I can just apologize. What else can I do?

However, Jia Zhangshi might not know that this time, Director Wang went to such great lengths to make an example of her, to deter others from doing the dirty work.

"Come on! I hereby declare that I will impose a dictatorship on Jia Zhangshi, that unrepentant and wicked mother-in-law who drove people to suicide."

No sooner had Director Wang finished speaking than two young men kicked Jia Zhangshi hard in the back leg.

"Aww!"

After a howl, Jia Zhangshi immediately knelt on the ground. Two more young men came up behind her, and the four of them took out ropes that they had prepared beforehand and tied her up tightly.

After tying her up, the group took out a large sign and a tall hat that they had prepared beforehand and put them on Jia Zhangshi's head. The sign read, "The wicked mother-in-law who drove people to suicide."

Only then did Jia Zhangshi truly understand what fear meant.

"Director Wang, please forgive me this once! Although my daughter-in-law hanged herself, she was eventually found to be alright, wasn't she?"

"Take him away and parade him through the streets."

Despite Jia Zhangshi's desperate pleas, Director Wang remained unmoved and still waved his hand to give the order.

Seeing that Director Wang's approach was not working, Jia Zhangshi turned to Qin Huairu for help.

"Huai Ru, Mom knows she was wrong. Please beg Mom to let Director Wang off this time! I promise I'll never scold you again."

Jia Zhangshi's promise was like a fart; Qin Huairu remained unmoved, turning her head away as if she hadn't seen it.

Jia Dongxu was the most anxious person at the scene, but he was powerless to do anything about it. The neighborhood committee wouldn't listen to him at all, and he could only watch helplessly as his mother was dragged out and paraded through the streets.

In fact, he bears half the responsibility for Jia Zhangshi's current predicament.

Because Jia Dongxu never uttered a single harsh word whenever his mother caused trouble, his mother became increasingly arrogant and domineering.
