Zhang Hongmei was about to speak when the old woman interrupted, "We're all family, so I won't argue with you. You should be more cautious in what you say. After all, you're the neighborhood director, your husband is the deputy director, your son is the battalion commander, and you have a daughter whose reputation has been ruined before she even got married. Your family can't afford to have any trouble, or everything will be ruined, right?"
Threat, naked threat.
Zhang Hongmei was so angry that her eyes turned red.
It's like this every time.
Yang Lifen held Zhang Hongmei's hand. "Mom, don't listen to her. She's been using this trick to control our family for years. Now the world has changed. This trick doesn't work anymore. We're not afraid of her. She'll make trouble if she has the will. First, tell me how you got that wound on your head."
Zhang Hongmei held her daughter's hand tightly, feeling very relieved and moved. Her efforts for her children over the years had never been in vain. Her daughter truly loved her as a mother and had never sacrificed her for her own future.
At this time, Yang Aimin also spoke up, "Hongmei, just tell the truth. Don't worry about anything. Xiaoyun also said that she will testify for us. Even if they make a fuss, nothing will come of it."
With her husband around, Zhang Hongmei felt much more at ease, and she looked at Song Yun with gratitude.
Song Yun nodded with a smile, "Aunt Zhang, it's okay, I'm here."
Song Yun's words were like a reassurance. Zhang Hongmei no longer had any scruples and said, "It was my sister-in-law who pushed me."
Zhao Daya's expression changed drastically. "You farted! It was obviously your own carelessness."
Zhang Hongmei ignored Zhao Daya and continued, "My sister-in-law said that her eldest son is getting married and there's no room at home, so she wants our house in North City. She also said she wants to marry Lifen to her nephew from her mother's family who has a lame leg. She said Lifen has ruined her reputation and it's a blessing for her to marry her nephew. She asked us to prepare more dowry. She also said she wants to marry her niece from her mother's family to our Wen Bing. If Wen Bing doesn't come, she'll get engaged first, and then she'll let her niece and her family live in your house in the district committee compound. She also wants us to give all our salaries to her niece. She used to be the head of our family."
Yang Lifen couldn't believe it. She had known for a long time that the old woman and Zhao Daya were shameless, but she never thought they could be so shameless.
Zhang Hongmei continued, "I didn't agree to her nonsense, so she started swearing. I didn't argue with her at first, but then she started swearing at Lifen. I confronted her, but she didn't say anything and just pushed me three times. I think my head hit something, and I don't know what happened after that."
Zhao Daya yelled, "Bullshit! When did I ever push you? It was clearly you who fell."
The old woman said, "Zhang Hongmei, you really don't want to care about your own future and the future of your children, right?"
A new round of bickering began, and Song Yun was tired of listening to it.
Fortunately, the police arrived quickly and saved her ears.
The police didn't care who had the loudest voice or who cried out for justice. After he found out the situation, he immediately took Zhao Daya and the relevant personnel away.
Yang Lifen, Yang Aimin, and everyone else who was at the Yang family's house at the time were all taken to the Public Security Bureau and questioned one by one.
The police have their own methods of questioning and interrogating. These people were so sure that Zhang Hongmei would not wake up that they didn't even bother to make up her confession and just asked her out of her in a few words.
No one from the third family would help, and the truth was told. Soon the truth became clear, and Zhao Daya could not stand the pressure of the interrogation and confessed.
The old woman naturally made a fuss as well, using every possible means, but unfortunately Yang Aimin and Zhang Hongmei were determined to send Zhao Daya to jail this time, and no one could stop her from making trouble.
The couple had endured humiliation for so many years just for the sake of their children's future. Now they had set their sights on their children's marriages and almost killed Zhang Hongmei. How could they possibly endure it any longer?
Zhang Hongmei was transferred to a large hospital for hospitalization and recuperation. Song Yun cooked pork rib soup at home, put it in a thermos bucket, and sent it to the hospital to visit Zhang Hongmei.
