Chapter 272 Apology Letter
When Gu Yihan led Director Wang and the others from the neighborhood office to Gu Meng's house.
She was standing in the living room, cursing at Grandma Gu who had just opened her eyes.
"Since you're still alive, get up and eat right away!"
After saying that, he slammed the bowl he was holding onto the stool in front of Grandma Gu's bed with a loud bang.
"I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met such a biased elder like you. You'd better stay here and serve me in peace."
"Would I accidentally hurt you?"
Grandma Gu's eyes were filled with confusion. Her head felt heavy and foggy, and she could hear Gu Meng's incessant chatter.
This made her memory even more confused, and she didn't know what had happened.
When Gu Meng stopped what she was doing, she slowly turned her head to look at her, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Outside the door, Gu Yihan held Hu Shan tightly with one hand as she tried to rush in, while covering her mouth with the other.
He was afraid she would impulsively shout it out and ruin his plans.
At this moment, Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office, who was standing beside them, gritted his teeth and controlled his facial expression.
She never imagined that there would be such a depraved junior in her jurisdiction.
When Gu Yihan first found her.
She claims her grandmother was kidnapped and beaten by her own granddaughter, but she doesn't believe it.
Now that she's heard it with her own ears, she has no choice but to believe it or not!
Inside the house, Gu Meng waited for a while, and seeing that Grandma Gu did not make any move, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
He hurried to the bedside and saw her with her eyes open, staring at him. He thought she was deliberately going against him.
Anger surged up in my heart.
He raised his hand and slapped Grandma Gu's cheeks twice.
Then, he roughly pulled her up.
He shouted sternly, "You old codger, now that you're awake, stop pretending!"
"Hurry up and get better. If you dare to go out and talk nonsense after you're healed, believe me, next time it won't just be a beating."
"Instead, I'll just buy some rat poison and kill you."
Gu Yihan was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound of a slap.
Instantly, anger surged to her head, and she acted faster than she thought, kicking open the door.
Gu Meng heard a muffled thud followed by a sharp crack, the sound of the door latch breaking.
She turned around angrily, but before she could even see who it was, the other person grabbed her hair.
Because of the pain, he instinctively arched his back and shouted, "Who are you?!"
Gu Yihan gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Meng actually dared to hit her own grandmother."
After saying that, he grabbed her hair tightly with one hand and controlled her outstretched hands with the other.
He turned and winked at Hu Shan, who was staring blankly at the door.
Seeing this, Hu Shan grinned.
He grabbed the broom by the door, darted over to Gu Meng, and started slapping her legs repeatedly.
She wanted to beat Gu Meng up as soon as she was outside the door.
It wasn't just about feeling indignant on behalf of Grandma Gu, but also about her sarcastic mockery of herself that day.
"Ah...stop!"
"Gu Yihan, you little bitch, how dare you come to my door and hit me!"
Upon hearing Gu Meng's shouts, Gu Yihan sneered, "Sister Shan, use a little more force."
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan's eyes lit up, and she raised her voice, shouting, "Alright!"
The broom whistled through the air and lashed hard against Gu Meng's leg with a sharp "smack".
Gu Meng screamed in pain.
The other female colleague standing next to Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office looked like she was in pain; she wondered what it would feel like to hit Comrade Gu Meng.
Thinking of this, he reached out and tugged at Director Wang's clothes, asking in a low voice, "Director, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Upon hearing this, Director Wang frowned as he looked at the farce unfolding inside the room and shouted, "Stop it, all of you!"
Upon hearing Director Wang's voice from the street office, Gu Yihan exchanged a glance with Hu Shan, and the two released their hands at the same time, almost in perfect unison.
Gu Meng's legs were burning with pain. After losing her balance, she stumbled and fell to the ground, her face filled with resentment and pain.
Looking up and seeing Director Wang standing at the door, without thinking twice, he immediately put on a victim's expression.
He said, "Director Wang, Gu Yihan committed violence without cause. This is a blatant disruption of social order and a provocation against the dictatorship of the proletariat."
"I request the organization..."
"Director Wang, I want to sue Gu Meng for intentional homicide and harming your family members!" Gu Yihan interrupted Gu Meng and shouted loudly and seriously.
Looking at Director Wang, whose face remained expressionless, Gu Meng subconsciously retorted, "No, Director Wang, don't listen to Gu Yihan's nonsense. She's just jealous of me!"
"Yes, she's just jealous that Grandma is helping me take care of the baby, and she won't let her take care of the baby!"
Gu Yihan sneered upon hearing this.
She had long suspected that Gu Meng would turn the tables, which is why she went to the neighborhood office to have Director Wang intervene and mediate before coming here.
Only when they see and hear it with their own eyes can they carry out her subsequent plans.
Director Wang of the neighborhood office stared at Gu Meng with a firm expression, gritting his teeth as he said, "Comrade Gu Meng, you don't need to make excuses anymore."
“I heard everything you said inside the room.”
"How dare you be so disrespectful as to lay a hand on your elders?"
After saying that, she didn't even want to look at her. She looked up at Gu Yihan, who was holding Grandma Gu in her arms and carefully feeding her water.
"Comrade Gu, we will have Comrade Gu Meng write a letter of self-criticism, admitting that hitting her grandmother was an act of forgetting her roots and letting down the country's education."
In family disputes, when the neighborhood committee mediates, the usual practice is to punish both parties equally.
Seeing that Grandma Gu was still not fully conscious, she could only deal with the matter of Gu Meng hitting her elder first.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan looked up at Director Wang, smiled slightly, and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Wang."
She knew that the neighborhood committee liked to smooth things over when dealing with family disputes, but that was fine.
What she wanted was for Gu Meng to admit that she had hit Grandma Gu.
Upon hearing Director Wang's words, Gu Meng instantly collapsed to the ground, her face pale, and looked up at Director Wang.
He hurriedly explained, "Director Wang, please listen to me. I did this for Grandma's own good. She's sick and throwing a tantrum, refusing to eat."
"I said that to make him eat properly. You can ask the people in our compound if you don't believe me!"
"They can vouch for me; I got up early this morning to cook meat porridge to nourish my grandma!"
Director Wang gave Gu Meng a cold look, refusing to listen to her explanations; in her view, these were all just excuses.
He turned to face his colleague beside him.
He instructed, "Xiao Yuan, follow up on Comrade Gu Meng's self-criticism and organize all the residents of the courtyard to hear her read it aloud in public!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded repeatedly, glanced at Gu Meng, and assured her, "Director Wang, don't worry, I guarantee I will complete the task."
Director Wang nodded slightly, didn't even glance at Gu Meng, and turned to leave.
She had to go back for an emergency meeting to deal with Gu Meng's follow-up issues.
Her intuition told her that Gu Yihan wouldn't let Gu Meng off the hook.
