Gu Shaoxuan was pulled away by the police. He was so angry that his face changed color. This old woman was simply shameless.

How could you say such disgusting things? What if your brother touched you? I could cripple him.

Seeing that Gu Shaoxuan was extremely agitated, Xia Enruo grabbed his arm, worried that he might do something rash again.

Zhang Baozhu couldn't bear to see his wife crying and screaming on the ground.

He opened his mouth and cursed:

"Xia Enruo, Xia Enruo, you are such a cold-blooded and heartless person, you have harmed your brother."

You even let your husband beat your aunt! You're utterly heartless! Our Zhang family was truly blind to have raised you.

“Zhang Baozhu, you should at least make some sense of what you're saying. My adoptive parents raised me. If you have to say, it can only be the Xia family.”

Your Zhang family embezzled the compensation money that my adoptive parents received to clear their names, kicked me out of the house, and left me homeless on the streets. You are the cold-blooded and ruthless bloodsuckers.

Your son conspired with thugs to frame me, yet you have the audacity to say such despicable things as "what's the harm in a little contact?" Do you Zhang family have any humanity left?

And you, Wang Yue'e, stop sitting on the ground pretending. Do you think this is your Xiaoxigou? You're acting like a shrew.

From the moment I stepped out of my house, I had nothing to do with you. Please refer to me as the plaintiff!

After listening to the two men, the police officer shouted:

"What exactly happened? Who started this?"

Many of the onlookers had attended the court hearing and were already furious about the actions of Zhang Baozhu and his wife, shouting excitedly:

“Officer, I can testify that it was this old couple who started the trouble first, and the things they said were simply unbearable to hear.”

"I can also testify that it was those two who made things difficult for this woman first, and even said things about incest. It's disgusting."

"Neither of them has any shame, they're still acting like scoundrels in front of the courthouse."

"She thought this was a vegetable market, and she even sat on the ground and tried to shift the blame."

"How disgusting! No wonder they raised a criminal son. They're a den of snakes and rats."

"Yes, that's really shameless."

"They don't even blush when they make up lies, they're really shameless."

“Expose him, expose his whole family, and let the public see what kind of people this family is.”

.................

The crowd chimed in with their own comments, one after another, and before Xia Enruo and her companion could even reply to the police, the crowd had already joined in, criticizing them.

Once the police heard this, they roughly understood the reason and began to reprimand the two men.

“The eyes of the masses are discerning. If you two hadn’t done anything to provoke public outrage, so many people wouldn’t be condemning you.”

"Get out of here right now! If you cause any more trouble, we'll arrest you for 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble'."

Wang Yue'e panicked when she heard this. She had originally planned to try every possible way to save her son, so that she wouldn't end up in prison herself, which would be truly shameful.

Zhang Baozhu pulled Wang Yue'e up, her head down and face flushed, and walked out.

Someone in the crowd threw an egg at the two of them, hitting Zhang Baozhu directly on his hat, and egg drop soup spilled all over his head.

Upon seeing this, the two men didn't bother to clean up and hurriedly ran away.

Gu Shaoxuan clenched his fists, panting heavily. Xia Enruo tugged at his sleeve, comforting him:

"They can say whatever they want. It won't hurt me if they scold me, so why make myself angry?"

"These two old bastards are really foul-mouthed. It's true that children are raised like their parents. No wonder Zhang Guohong has such a shifty look and looks like a dog."

Xia Enruo then thanked the onlookers.

"Thank you all for speaking up for me. I, Xia Enruo, have no way to repay you. Thank you to the kind people. Thank you again."

"Don't be discouraged, the law will definitely punish those criminals."

"That's right, girl. You have a long road ahead of you, and you're sure to have great fortune in the future."

"It's only right that I help you. They went too far. Anyone would feel indignant in your situation."

"Sister, your husband should really give those two a good beating. They really deserve it."

Xia Enruo bowed to the crowd to express her gratitude. As the crowd dispersed, she pulled Gu Shaoxuan along as they walked back.

Before they even reached the shop, the two saw Ge Qiuqin standing at the entrance, looking towards the roadside.

"Sister-in-law Qiuqin, who are you waiting for?"

"Who else can we wait for but you two? How's the court hearing going? Why did it take so long? I was so worried in the shop."

"Everything went smoothly, except that two people caused trouble when I came out, but thankfully it has been resolved."

"I hope it goes smoothly, I hope it goes smoothly. My heart was pounding while I waited. I thought I had encountered some trouble again, which made me unable to concentrate on my work all morning."

"Sister-in-law, thank you for worrying about me."

Three days later, the verdict was delivered.

Wang Hu and others were sentenced to prison terms ranging from six months to three years, while Zhang Guohong was sentenced to eight months in prison.

Although the man in red headscarf was the mastermind, he was exempted from punishment because he died on the spot. However, his family is required to compensate Xia Enruo for mental distress and other expenses amounting to 315.8 yuan.

Gu Shaoxuan's actions at the time met the criteria for legitimate self-defense.

Of the group, only Zhang Guohong appealed the first-instance verdict. Regardless, after this ordeal, he is certain to be expelled from school, his studies ruined.

Qin Gang returned to his restaurant and, following Xia Enruo's instructions, began creating his own menu.

He called the head chef over and had him create dishes at different price points: 30 yuan, 45 yuan, and 55 yuan.
