Before Su He could say anything, the old lady Su, who was standing to the side, objected.

"What do you mean, 'explain'? You came to my house and acted like a madman. What, do you think we're easy to bully?"

"No way! This can't just end like this. I'm going to the neighborhood committee, the police, and the revolutionary committee. I refuse to believe no one will stand up for me. This is outrageous!"

Su He breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, with Grandma Su around, she didn't have to worry about getting involved.

Grandpa Niu was startled when he heard this, realizing that his wife had really angered the Lin family this time.

He quickly bowed his head and apologized, even pulling Aunt Lü over to make her apologize as well.

Aunt Lü was unwilling, but after being glared at by Uncle Niu a few times, she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I just thought that since Police Officer Su went to university, he wouldn't need to work anymore, so I came to ask him."

"Oh dear, is this an apology or just an excuse? I don't think she's willing to admit her mistake!" Old Mrs. Su said sarcastically from the side.

Seeing this, Grandpa Niu cursed Grandma Lü a few more times, "If I tell you to apologize, then apologize properly! What, do you not want to live together anymore? If you don't want to live together anymore, then get a divorce!"

Aunt Lü couldn't believe her eyes. She looked up at him and exclaimed, "You want to divorce me? Just for this? How can you be so heartless! Wasn't I doing this for Lili? Do you think I wanted to come here begging her, only to be scolded and left like this!"

As she spoke, she smelled the substance on her hand again, and couldn't help but gag. "Ah!" she cried out, and unable to stay any longer, she ran out.

By this time, quite a few people had come to watch the commotion after hearing the noise. When they saw her come out and smelled her scent, they quickly made way for her and ran home in the blink of an eye.

When Grandpa Niu saw her run away like that, he was so angry that his face turned blue and purple.

In the end, he suppressed his thoughts and apologized to Su He.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Su, we were wrong. Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on her from now on and not let her bother you again."

To be honest, Su He didn't want to agree to this. Did she think that an apology was all it took to get away with being bullied?

However, as a junior, she felt it inappropriate to speak up, so she looked at Old Madam Su.

Grandma Su gave her a reassuring look, and was about to speak when Grandpa Ma, who had come to watch the commotion at some point, spoke up.

"Hey Lao Niu, this won't do! You think you can just let it go after making such a mess of the Lin family? That's too much of a bully!"

As soon as Grandpa Niu heard Grandpa Ma's voice, his face turned cold. But Grandpa Ma didn't care at all and walked in to continue, "Look what you've done to Xiaolin's family. You've turned their nice house into a mess. I would be angry too. You can't bully Xiaolin and his wife just because they're young!"

Su He wasn't surprised that Grandpa Ma spoke up for them.

Having lived in the tenement for so long, she had come to understand that Uncle Ma, as the second oldest man in their compound, was always overshadowed by Uncle Niu and they never got along, so he would always try to stand up for himself whenever he had the chance.

After all, Grandpa Ma believed he was no worse than Grandpa Niu, but since he didn't work at the machinery factory and this was the factory's residential compound, Grandpa Ma wasn't him.

Regardless of his motives, Su He was grateful to Grandpa Ma for standing up for them and incurring their hatred.

So she gave him a grateful look.

Encouraged by what he saw, Grandpa Ma felt a sense of responsibility and decided to have a good talk with Grandpa Niu.
