The two were deadlocked, each sticking to their own version of events and refusing to give in!

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, it was Grandpa Niu who stepped in to mediate.

In the end, the matter was resolved with Aunt Huang paying five yuan in compensation.

But Aunt Huang wasn't happy either.

When she returned to the room, she saw Su He glaring at her.

Su He frowned, feeling that Aunt Huang was doing it on purpose, since there really hadn't been any rats in their yard since Dahei came.

Why did she do that? Where did the dead rat come from, and what attracted the rhubarb to it?

She felt that this round wasn't targeting Big Yellow, but rather Big Black.

That makes sense, since Aunt Huang had always disliked him.

I never expected that she would set her sights on Big Black!

Thinking about this, Su He felt a little scared. Fortunately, she had told Da Hei not to eat random things outside, otherwise this time it would have been terrible.

Su He's expression was still not good when she returned. Lin Jingyan asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Su He then told him her guess.

Lin Jingyan frowned slightly upon hearing this. "What do you plan to do? Do you need my help to get revenge?"

Su He looked at him in surprise, seemingly not expecting him to say such a thing.

Lin Jingyan smiled and said, "I'm human too. Of course I have to fight back when someone bullies me."

Su He seemed to recognize him all over again, and smiled, saying, "No need, I already have an idea."

Lin Jingyan didn't insist. "Alright, just let me know if you need anything."

"good!"

The next day, after lunch, Su He went to the backyard and found Da Hei. She told it about what happened the day before, and then they made a plan together.

When he returned that evening, Dahei quietly went to catch mice nearby, but instead of killing them, he put them all into Huang's house, where Huang's mother lived.

Then, after half a day had passed, a scream rang out from the courtyard.

It was Aunt Huang's voice.

Su He was awakened by the shouting, and cursing could be heard from other houses as well.

Once she regained consciousness, she guessed what had happened, so she didn't get up and instead held onto Lin Jingyan.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyan immediately understood, "You did this?"

Su He nodded with her eyes closed, "Give her a little lesson."

Lin Jingyan laughed and stopped caring.

When I got up in the morning, I heard people in the yard talking about how Aunt Huang must have disturbed a rat burrow. More than a dozen rats had gotten into her house in the middle of the night, and there were two more in her bed. She had been sleeping with them all night, so no wonder she was so scared that she woke up.

However, everyone guessed that it might have been Grandpa Sun who did it, since his dog had been poisoned to death with rat poison last night.

Su He kept his achievements hidden and went to work as usual.

When I got back from get off work, I heard that Aunt Huang had gone to make a scene with Grandpa Sun, obviously suspecting that he was the one who did it. However, because she had no evidence, she was ridiculed by Grandpa Sun and returned home dejectedly.

Because she lost face because of this incident, she probably won't be causing trouble for a long time afterward.

Su He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Recently, there haven't been any major cases at the police station, so during holidays, Su He and Lin Jingyan would visit Lin's parents at the government compound.

Lin's parents were always happy whenever they came to visit, especially Lin's mother, who would hold her hand and ask about her life, worried that she might not be able to adapt to anything.

Su He always felt fortunate to have such a mother-in-law.

That day, the two came to the compound again and stayed until dinner before leaving.

However, as I was leaving the compound, a tall girl walked towards me.

The girl was wearing a dress and small leather shoes, and she was quite pretty, but she looked somewhat familiar.

Su He looked at her carefully, feeling like she had seen her somewhere before.

Just as they were thinking this, they saw the girl walking towards them.
